            He wasn't just shocked and dumbfounded, he was amused. He felt like laughing so hard. And that was surprising itself. He was surprised that he wasn't even angry at how rude her voice was. He doesn't know what to say about this new, angry, sassy Lola.

            He couldn't help but burst into laughter.

            Lola watched him as he laughed. To be honest, she had never seen him laugh as hard as he was laughing presently.

"Why are you laughing?" She asked.

"Because of you. What else? You are funny." He replied with a smile.

"I'm not a stand-up comedian and I didn't remember saying anything funny." She glared at him.

"Do you know she is older than you?"

"And do I look like I give a damn? Do all you rich people look down on people?" She asked with a pained voice.

               And the sentence made the smile disappear from his face. He swallowed with his adam's apple moving up and down slowly. He knew she was really angry. And she wasn't joking about it. And also she is referring to how he treats her.

"Lola."

"What? Answer the question. Because it is obvious that is how most of you do. Do I look so despicable to you guys?" She asked. She was trying hard not to tear up.

           She quickly wiped away the lone tears that were about to roll down her cheek when she saw Debbie walk in carrying Demilade's travel bag.

"Take it to the car." He ordered her.

              And she left them with the medium size bag.

         Demilade strides closer to where Lola sat.

"Lola I a..."

          She cut him short.

"You know what? Forget it. It's pointless saying it anyway." She said. And she quickly changed the topic. She hated to be looked down on and she don't want to get reminded. "About the deal. It can work with or without you here."

"Lola." He groaned. She was getting on his nerve. He pinched his nose, frustrated.

"You..." Lola was cut short when Uche came in. She was dressed in a purple suit and white heels. She looked beautiful like the first time she saw her.

               Uche looked between the two of them and she noticed the tension between them. She was even surprised to see Lola in Demilade's house. She wasn't looking like a guest. It's like she had been staying in the house. And something was going on between them.

"I'm..."

           Lola smiled cutting her short. She could tell she was quite uncomfortable.

"Good evening miss Uche right?" Lola asked still remembering her telling her her name the previous day.

"Yes. Good evening to you too." She said sweetly and she flashed a smile at her in her purple lipstick that looks so good on her. "Good evening Mr Demilade."

"Evening," Demilade answered. His eyes are still on Lola.

"I will leave you two. I'll be outside sir." She said quickly and tried to leave them.

"Don't worry, let's go," Demilade said and looked away from Lola. And he turned to follow Uche.

"We are not done yet Demilade," Lola said loudly and he stopped on his track. Even Uche looked back at the both of them. She smiled when she saw the frustrated look on her boss's face and she left them.

             Demilade turned to face Lola. "We are done, Lola. I already talk about this. The next one week isn't part of the deal."

              He already made his decisions. And he wasn't changing his mind.

             The truth was he wasn't ready to let her go. But he is not admitting that.

"You can't just decide. I also have a say in this too." Lola said.

            There was a way she talks that always amuse him. When he first met her, he was quite irritated at how she talked. He found her to be too chatty. But now, he would do anything to hear her talk. It filled him with this serenity he can't explain and it was like music to his ear.

            And that was one of the things he was afraid he would lose when she go.

            A small smile tugged up his lips. He can tell she was already getting calm. Another beautiful thing about her.

           Her ability to get over things quickly. She never stayed angry for long. That he had noticed.

"Not really Lola. You are forgetting that I am the chief mastermind." She glared at him and he grinned.

"I hate you."

         He chuckles. "Maybe you do. I'm running late Lola."

"We are not done." He could tell there was something more to the sentence. They both stared at each other for a while.

"Alright." He agreed. At least he had won the argument. "Say hi to Mr Bamidele for me. See you in one week." And he walked out of the house.

             He stepped out into the warm environment. The sun was still shining brightly despite the time of the day. It's still surprising that the sun could shine brightly with how heavy the rain had fallen last night.

             He saw Yimika pressing her phone and tapping her feet on the floor beside the car. Uche was some distance away from her, making calls. He had forgotten that she was around. And he only feels quite guilty for keeping her waiting. To be honest, he wasn't expecting her and he didn't like that she came to his house.

"Mika, sorry for keeping you waiting." He apologized and he looked sincere. "Lola rarely gets angry but when she does, it isn't easy to calm her." He said.

             Yimika nodded. That wasn't what she expected to hear and she hated it. The way he talked about her pissed her off. But she didn't say anything but smile sweetly.

"It's no problem." She lied.

"Why do you come? I'm on my way to the airport. I told you I am travelling." He said and he could see Uche looking at her wristwatch and also giving him a look he can't decipher. She was already done making her call.

"I know. I still remember. I am free so I decided to come to see you off." She said.

"Uhm. Okay." He sounded even if he wasn't too pleased about it. "Let's go then." And they both went to the car.

   

So here is another chapter. I'm finally done with my exam and let's hope I can update more frequently now. I'm not sure but I will try.
