"IB you can never change. I wish you good luck with that. I don't have a picture of him and I don't think I need one."

"God! Lola sometimes you can be so annoying and boring," Ibukun said rolling her eyes.

              She just laughed. So does her sister who was making her hair.

             Lola went afterwards to see her father. They talked about a few things and she left what she bought for her siblings and went back to Demilade mansion to prepare for the evening outing.

§§§§§

             The driver came to pick up Lola later in the evening. She had prepared herself. She doesn't want any insult from Demilade. So he drove her to his company.

             He was already at the parking lot probably waiting for them. But he was talking to a lady in a fitted gown and high heels and another guy in a suit.

            Lola assume they were working for him with the way they seem to nod and look at him.

"Till tomorrow." He said to them and the guy helped him to open the door of the car with a nod. "Thanks," Demilade muttered and entered the car.

"Goodnight Mr Demmy." The pretty fair lady said. He nodded and looked away while the driver started the car.

"Good evening." Lola greeted him when he finally noticed me.

"Evening." He answered with a bored expression. He then looked at her.

               Since he had told her that it was a night outing in a club with his friends, she had dressed in fitted blue jeans and a light chiffon shirt-like blouse and black cover shoes. She doesn't need to overdress. She did not even use make-up. She wants to look natural among Demilade friends. Anyone that has problems with her, is going to know that day.

            He didn't say anything about her dress and he looked away at the road of Lagos through the window as the driver drove onto the main road. It was already becoming dark outside and streetlights and road lights were on.

           After an hour of driving in silence, the driver finally drove into a street and Lola hoped they were almost at their destination. She was already tired of the silence and the drive. It's been quite a long time since she had sat in a car for a long time.

             Demilade pulled his suit jacket and loosen his tie. She watched him remove the tie and fold it on the seat beside him then he remove his cufflink and put it at the side of his bag. He pulled off the waistcoat. And also fold it beside the jacket. Then he rolled the sleeves of the shirt up to his elbow revealing his arms and his gold Rolex watch. He unbuttoned two of the buttons of his black shirt. And he looks like a different person. From the serious handsome businessman to a rogue nigga.

             He turned to Lola and he caught her staring at him. His lips tugged up into a small smile.

"I thought you were going to change your clothes," Lola said quietly. Hoping he will even reply.

"I don't have to. I was in the office throughout today. And it is just for a few hours." He answered which Lola was grateful to. And fortunately, it wasn't rude.

"Okay." She said.

"We are here sir." The driver said.

             Lola looked up at the huge building before them. It looked like a hotel and the parking lot have cars of different colours and there were expensive just by looking at them.
