Nobuhlebenkosazane pov.
Taking my car keys on the kitchen counter I get out , locking the door behind me . Getting inside the car and placing my bag on the passenger seat I start the car driving to work .
Today hits a week now of me working there . The following day after I called Mr Ndlovu , he emailed me back saying that I got the job , the company was short of an accountant and I was really happy so I stared the following day .
At work things have been great , I got a lovely welcome , everyone welcomed me with warmth, well except for the other accountant that I'm supposed to work with , I kinda think that she thinks I'm here to take away her job which I have no intentions of doing so , but I'm very open for the challenge because I know that I'm good at what I'm doing , she can try all she wants to jeopardize my work but she'll fail.
Last week Saturday we did go to the runway show with N'khosi , to say that I was not excited about it would be an understatement , and it was better than what I had expected , N'khosi ended up buying two sets for me , which are super sexy , I can't wait to wear them for Nhlonipho.
Speaking about Nhlonipho, He was supposed to be here 2 days ago , on Monday , but he said that work is still keeping him busy but he'll fly down this Friday , and I can't wait for him to get here , 2 more days to go and he'll finally be here .
I still haven't told him about work , that I'm finally working , I know that he's not going to like that I went behind his back and asked for a job , but I couldn't just sit around all day doing nothing at all , I need to be busy too . I just hope that he doesn't react irrational when he finds out , I'll tell him when he gets here on Friday .
I drive inside the company after signing papers at the gate , packing my car at a spot I've considered my packing spot , I take my bag and get out walking inside .
" Morning Jessica " the old coloured woman at the reception greets me , this woman is gorgeous considering that she's in her early fifties , I wonder who's mother she is , I'm sure her kids are beautiful like she is if she has them though.
" Morning Eleonora " I greet her back smiling , I'm so happy that today I was able to say her name properly , without my Zulu accent getting on the way , but I said it in a Dutch accent.
" I told you to call me Nora " she smiles at me shaking his head , her Afrikaans accent giving her off , I just sign myself in and take my hand bag smiling back at her .
" Fine Nora , see you at lunch " I say walking to my office .
Getting inside I start with work .
I'm disturbed by my phone ringing , looking at it it's Nhlonipho .
" Morning " I say after answering it , the corner of my lips lifting up to a smile .
Nhlonipho is always busy , but he always finds a way to call me atleast two times in a day , asking me how was my day and all that , if he knew that I'm always tired . But I hate lying to him , I want to tell him the truth but I can't say it over the phone .
" Sphalaphala Sami ( my beautiful ), it's afternoon , how are you ?" He asks me , causing me to smile even wider than before , but I'm caught off guard when he said that it's now Afternoon.
What ? I look at my wrist watch seeing that lunch time has already passed , it's almost time to knock off , 6 pm , right now it's 17:23 . Jesus I've been burying myself in papers , trying to figure out how come every day an amount of R25 is always missing from the business account , I need to talk to the ceo about this , because it's looks like someone here from the inside is doing this .
" I'm good , how are you ? " I ask him too .
" I'm good , did you get what I sent you " my eyes widen at what he said .
What did he send ?
" What ? " I ask him confused and scared .
" this morning I sent flowers for you " he says .
" I'm not at the apartment" I quickly say , not wanting him to be suspicious . I hate lying and it's looks like my lies are now catching up with me .
" where are you then ? I sent them before 8 this morning " he says completely confused, I know what he's asking himself , where was I this morning .
Ohh lord , I need to think of something quick .
" I slept at Zama's house " I say .
" Nhlakanipho didn't tell me anything about you being there " he says more confused
Eish , eish , eish , I hate lying to him but I've got no other choice .
" maybe he forgot, look I'll call you once I get home , bye " I say and quickly hang up the call , I know that he's going to be very mad about what I just did , but I'll deal with that later on .
I call Zamokuhle , my hands shaking a little Because of how scared I am and my heart is beating fast , this is not how I want him to find out .
" Buhlle " she says , being her load self , if she knew that I'm in trouble .
" Zama , i lied to Nhlonipho " I say not caring about greeting her .
" Why ?" She says , more serious.
" I haven't told him that I'm working , and he sent flowers in my apartment this morning , I was already at work , I lied and said I was sleeping in your house , I feel guilty " I confess , I know that she told me to tell him on my first day of work , but I knew that he'll be mad . Maybe if I told him though , I wouldn't be in this situation right now .
" no need to feel guilty , where are you ? " She asks me , calm , She's always been like this , in serious situations she's always calm unless she's not crying .
" I'm still at work " I say .
" okay come to my house when you finish"
I nod my head .
" I am done , I'm coming right now , I'll see you in 30 minutes " I get up from my chair putting the papers on my drawer , locking it .
" sure "
" order something nice for me please " I say , I know how bad her cooking is and I'm lazy to cook .
" don't worry " she says and hangs up the call .
I open the safe putting the keys inside , I always look everything when it's time to go , leaving my table clean with only the frame pictures I have of Nhlonipho and me together , and Zamo , N'khosi and I together .
I take my bag putting the phone inside and locking the door behind me , meeting Swazi , the other accountant on my way out .
" it's early for you to leave " Swazi says standing infront of me , this woman is so beautiful for this rubbish , and to be honest she does scare me a little , with her about 5'8 height hovering above me .
" Good evening to you too , I didn't sleep with you , your mother didn't teach you to always greet ? " I ask her and I see her face changing meaning that I've hit her nerve , and I'm happy about it .
" I'll tell the manager about this , it's not time to leave yet " she tries to threaten me , but I'm not scared , I'm long done with my daily schedule that I've started Tommorow schedule , but I don't tell her that .
" go on then , what's stopping you ? I have more other useful things to take care of , if you may excuse me " I say , looking at her up and down like she did a few minutes ago , walking past her.
" you'll regret this " she says behind me .
I stop and turn around looking at her ,
" I already regret , wasting my breath talking to you " I say and carry on walking , swaying my hips left and right , with all the confidence booming inside me l
I'm so proud of my self honestly , standing up for myself like that for me it's huge , I see that Nhlonipho has rubbed off some of his bad habits to me , but I like this one .
I sign my self out the reception saying goodbye to her and walking to my car in the packing lot , unlocking it and getting inside it putting my bag in the passenger seat , I start the car , making my way to Zama's house .
I need to tell Nhlonipho the truth . I'm very hungry I didn't eat lunch today .
