~~ 38. ~~

          She just has to know the right time.

"Mika is my ex. She is my first girlfriend. She left when we were at the university. And I just met her again after nine years." He replied. "I guess you know that already."

          She nodded. "Yes."

"Do you perhaps still have some feelings left for her?" She asked.

          He looked at her. He can tell she did a very nice finding and it is only one person who can give her the exact and best detail and it's none other than his personal assistant, her boyfriend.

"I like Mika for a long time. Even when I was with Angela, I still thought about her. Whenever I am with a woman, I feel like I am cheating on her. And it was hard getting over her." He answered. "But it pointless. She got married to another man shortly after we broke up. She had two children with him even if she lost one. I have no right to feel like I am cheating on her. We already end things. But now that she is back. I don't know. I can't even call her a friend. Because I don't trust her and I just confirm that she means nothing to me now. "

"What about Miss Lola? You two seem quite close and not close either. I can't even decipher your relationship with her. She came to the office yesterday confident and excited but she left not too happy, I guess."

"You are sure too inquisitive." He said and she smiled.

"You like me that way."

         He shrugged. "Let's say my relationship with her is complicated."

"Complicated? But she is staying with you. I don't remember you entertaining women at your house. That mansion is like your sanctuary."

"Let's leave it at that Uche. Let's not talk about Lola."

"Fine." She agreed. "I just want to let you know that I like her. I know we don't know each other so much. In fact, I just met her. But I like her. I like her for you. She looks trustable."

"But you just met Mika too. What do you think about her? Is she not good for me?" Demilade asked with the arc of his brow quirk up in question.

"Yeah, I just met the both of them. But to be honest, I don't like her. I don't even trust her. She seems like someone who has pride and a secret agenda. You are way out of her league. Right now, you need someone who can cope with your attitude. Someone younger. Someone new. Yimika is the wrong option. What is gone is gone. Your relationship with her already end. I don't know what your relationship with Lola is... But you need someone like her or better. I've watched you for a very long time, Angela was the first woman I saw you were serious with but I knew it will end badly. I know who Angela was and her attitude. And I hate when I see you with someone like her. But I was new as your secretary then and it looks like you seem a little obsessed with her. So I kept my comments to myself. "

"And since after her, I'm so sad you did not try to be more open. You seem more reserved. You hardly go to the club too. It was work to home. I know I am your secretary but I like you the first time I saw you at the interview. I usually tolerate your attitude because I know that is not who you truly are. It just comes with the mood. You are actually the first person who treats me like a better person and accept my in complete confidentiality. Bayo told me you will be hard but I will like you. And he didn't lie. I have always enjoyed every moment of working for you. You decide to take Mr Simon for this trip despite he is new and has no experience because you are who you are. You see things in people other people do not see. And you did the same with me. I know what I have learned, what I have achieved, and where I have been just by working with you. So I like you Mr Demmy regardless of what others say and I want you to be happy. "
