Hallelujah

As I entered the house I saw Rhema in the kitchen preparing dinner.

"Rhema, Rhema I don't know what I have done now, it just came out of my mouth , I don't know 'why', I guess that's why I had this persistent feeling,I understand now though.
Rhema what am I gonna do now? I'm supposed to bring him as my date to the opening party that's in 2 weeks time and I don't even know who the 'hell' he is.....and I'm freaking out and blabbing now...ain't I?"

"Yes you are" says Rhema who's looking at me like I have grown another head."by the way, what have you done now and who is the 'him' you are referring to?"

    So I told her everything, beginning with the conversation of reign jay and the judge while eavesdropping.

"What!!, you mean you lied that 'Stephen Bank' was your fiancé? Without waiting for me to reply, she continues "Halle how could you do that, do you even know who he is?"she asks

"No I don't" I say somewhat feeling remorseful.

"Yeah I know, cause I'm sure if you knew who he was you wouldn't have lied about being his fiance" she says rolling her eyes.

  "I'm sure its not that big of a deal. Who is he by the way?"I ask scoffing.

Rhema just smirks and says "he is the present most arrogant and successful bachelor billionaire and also CEO of the 'BK group of Industries'".

"What!!! The BK GROUP Of INDUSTRIES?, you can't be serious" I say eyes widening.

Who doesn't know about the BK Group of Industries? Its like the most popular industry that has been running for generations now."shit what have I done now".

"I don't know girl, I don't just know" Rhema says shrugging.

"And he's also supposed to be my date to the opening party". Think fast Halle. I have to get that role i can't just jeopardize it because of a billionaire who doesn't even know that I exist..its my future that's at stake here.

"Well I think I have an idea,why dont you ask our neighbour Daniel to act as his assistant saying that 'he had an urgent business meeting to attend and could not make it to the opening ceremony but extends his pleasantries.'" Rhema says bringing me out of my thoughts.

That's a really brilliant idea but my brain can't seem to form words to send to my mouth as response at the moment, so I just continue staring at her dumbfoundedly.

"Well what do you think?" She asks almost impatiently....still no response.
"Halle! Halle!! Halle!!!"

"Yea,yeah,its a brilliant one. I think I can work with that, thanks so much..At least that will keep them off my back for sometime".

Rhema just nods and says "yeah hope so."

          
             ****************
Waking up and groaning while rolling on the bed the event of the previous day come rushing back to my memory "shit, so it wasn't a dream, it really happened...hmmn".

Getting up I go into the bathroom to brush my teeth and have my bath, when I'm done I go into the kitchen to have some tea.

'I really need to go to the grocery store today' I say to myself as I stick a note on the refrigerator for rhema about my whereabouts (cause she's supposed to wake up anytime soon) and head out of the apartment.

      As I was stepping out of the gate, I sited the judge at Daniels's apartment knowing fully well that he came for me,I quickly stepped back into the compound and watched as they had a heated conversation, but due to the distance I could not make out what they were talking about.
After standing there for what felt like hours, when it was just five minutes the Judge enters back into his car and drives off.

After making sure he was gone, I come out of the compound and jog over to Daniel's apartment.
"Daniel what were you and that man talking about?" I ask innocently.

"The one that just left in that expensive car?" He asks

"Yep that one" I reply, popping the 'p'.

"Oh..don't mind him,he came asking for house 30A and he came to house 12B. I don't know how he thinks the numbers look alike" he reply sarcastically.

    While all i could say was "oh". Thank God I put the wrong house number on the form that I was asked to fill.

               
               ****************
As I enter the house after coming back from the grocery store, I find Rhema sitting down in the dining room, sipping coffee from a coffee cup with a magazine on the table in front of her.

So I ask "Hey Rhema, did you see the note I left for you on the refrigerator?"

Without replying she just hands me the magazine, after collecting and checking it. With widened eyes i say "ooh-oh....this can't be happening".
