After getting her passport photos, Steve dropped her at work, gave her some six thousand as pocket money and went his way after promising to send a break down car to pick up her car on Friday. She still could not wrap her head around the fact that he had moved from randomly sending her a hundred thousand shillings for no reason at all, to sending her a paltry six thousand shillings after giving him bomb ass sex. She was happy though that he had offered to service her car and sort the puncture situation. She was thinking of visiting her parents in Kisii next weekend and the money saved would come in handy. Just as she was walking into the elevator, her phone rang.
“Hallo, Rael speaking”
“Hi Madam Rael, I have been sent
by Purity to deliver some pills and tea na niko hapa kwako Kilimani kwa gate.”
“Shoot. I had forgotten about the
delivery. I am at work. Please let me send you my location pin you bring it
here if you do not mind.”
“I can but you have to pay more
for delivery charges”
“Ni sawa. When you get here just
say you want to see me and you will be brought to my office.”
Rael had never been this happy to
be in the office environment. Her first stop was the Human Resource office to
deliver the written copy of the medical report although the doctor had already
forwarded it online. She wanted to make sure that the report had been received
and stamped. Elizabeth seemed to be in a foul mood but she really did not care.
She then went to her office and was shocked to see Collins locked in his
office. It sucked knowing that he was being treated differently from the rest
of the people. All she did was have a mental breakdown because she was going
through a rough patch and her salary was immediately slashed on top of being
demoted. Collins was facing sexual harassment allegations yet his ass was still
at work and in the same office. No demotion, no dismissal. She decided to
rattle him by going to his office.
“Knock knock! I would like to say
hi to Collins from work”
“Raeeeeel! Isn’t it great to see
you back! Come in. How are you doing?”
“I am doing well thank you. How
is work and everything in general?”
“Everything is great! I am really
serious Rael, I know it sounds ridiculous and most people are treating me like
I have lost my damn mind, but I want to be a better person. I realized that I
have been so mean and unfair to most people.”
“ I am really proud of you
Collins. Keep pushing. Speaking of getting better, can you believe that I
managed to get you a therapy session slot for tomorrow at 10 am. If you are
okay with that let me know so that I can confirm.”
“That is so kind of you Rael. My
first meeting of the day tomorrow is not until midday so I think you can
proceed to confirm the booking. Thank you.”
“Perfect. Let me do that right
away as I leave you to continue with your chat with the stubborn influencers. I
was expecting a delivery and I see a nduthi guy at my door. We will catch up
later.”
Rael knew that they were
bullshitting each other and the chances of Collins going to see the therapist
were as slim as the chances of her not having a drink tonight. Even if he
decides to go just to get her to give him a good rating, there was no way he was
going to change and become this good Collins from work. She picked her slimming
tea and pills and prayed that they work because seeing herself getting to one
hundred and nine kilograms on the scale at the hospital today shook and
disgusted her to the core. Purity who sold her the pills and tea told her that
she would experience a lot of lose stool once she started taking them and she
needed a strategy of handling the zoom meetings. She decided to test their
efficacy by taking the pills and three hours later she was calling Sandra
crying.
“Sandra my ass is on fire”
“Hahahaha! What is happening?
What did you eat? Could it be food poisoning? Did you get the report by the
way?”
“I cannot even drink water
without it coming through my ass. I bought some slimming pills and when I was
told that a running stomach would be one of the side effects I did not envision
this. I am dying.”
“Why would you buy those things
Rael? You do not look that bad. You just need to stop taking those burgers and
nyama choma at Bob’s every day and you will be good. Keep hydrating and call me
if it gets worse. You did not answer me…did you get the report?”
“I did and it was very
favourable, I thank God. I also talked to the shylock and we will be meeting
tomorrow afternoon if I won’t be dead by then. Thank you for that. Let me
continue shitting this fat out we will catch up later. Oh, I am allowed to eat
anything that I want to while taking these pills so the burgers and nyama choma
are here to stay. You should try these pills you know.”
“Unlike you, I have a child to
look after. Death is not a luxury I can afford right now.”
“You are so silly. Bye mama.”
By the end of the day, Rael was
sure she had left a whole of 5kgs in the toilet. The running stomach had
reduced but she was so hungry and all she wanted was the juicy burger from
Bob’s. She called there to make a prior order before hopping into her Uber.
There was no way she was going to wait for thirty minutes for that burger once
she gets there….she was starving. She was feeling quite tired and had a polite
evening and was home by 10 pm. Her night was terrific. She had taken the
slimming tea before going to bed and she spent half of the night in the
bathroom throwing up and having a running stomach. At one point of the night
she swore that she was going to throw those things the following day. She
survived the night but she was so fatigued in the morning. Her medical report
indicated that she was perfectly fit to work and bearing in mind all that had
been happening in their office lately, she could not afford to call in sick or
report late at work. She also had to meet the shylock in the afternoon and that
meant ensuring that all her meetings and work had to be done within the morning
hours. She dragged her feet and prepared for the day. She was supposed to take
one pill in the morning but decided not to due to her schedule.
“Hi Evans. This is Rael. I am
done with what I needed to do for the day. Where do we meet?”
“I will come to your place of
work. Just send me your location pin and I will come to you.”
“Don’t you think we need
somewhere private? I do not like people in the office knowing my business.”
“I am a shylock Rael and I need
to know my customer. This means me knowing their offices and sometimes their
homes. I do not foresee and I pray that you do not have issues with the
payments but I have to make sure that if you do not pay on time as agreed, I
know where I can get you.”
“That is fair and I hear you but
can you come see the offices then we continue with the rest of the discussion
at a restaurant? I work in an advertisement agency and that means that we are
naturally nosy and curious and I really try to be private.”
“That is okay. Send me your
location and I will be on my way.”
Evans was so hot, she was
shocked. Her idea of shylocks from her initial experience was stern, serious
looking and not so hot individuals, but this guy was hot. He had a nice body,
smelled so good, dressed up nicely and looked damn good. She did not know or
care if he saw it, but the moment she saw him, she devoured him with her eyes.
She had never been so proud to have a man visit her office like today. She was
tempted to let them have the meeting in the office just to brag and have the
girls drooling but she knew better than that. The guy was hot and he seemed
very much aware of the fact but he tried to play humble. He was pleasant and
very easy to deal with and they managed to finish the meeting and sign papers
within a very short time and even got to enjoy a few beers before going back to
work. He promised to wire the money into her back account the following day. She
smiled as she went back to her office. The last few days had been nothing but
pure bliss for Rael….well, apart from the running stomach and vomiting. She
needed to use the toilet.
