Chapter 6: Office Wahala Burst Open

For afternoon, Kamsi rush enter: "Madam Morayo, Mr. Ifedike don para for project department."

Na so Kamsi burst enter like person wey dey run from fire. Her face dey red, her voice dey shake.

I stand up. "Wetin happen?"

I dey ready for anything. Once Ifedike para, matter serious.

Kamsi face show say she dey fear talk, but she still try, "Madam Morayo, abeg, go see am yourself."

Her voice low. I know say matter don pass play.

As I dey waka go, I hear her whisper, "Na that Halima cause am."

She dey pity me. I just nod, dey hold my composure.

I look her, see say she still wan talk. I tell her, "Talk wetin dey your mind."

Kamsi bite lip. "Madam Morayo, I notice am yesterday for dinner. The call wey Halima make, na Mr. Ifedike she call."

She pause again. "In fact... plenty people notice am."

My chest just tight. Wetin I first feel no be vex, but shame.

My face dey hot. For office, na respect dey keep person up. This kain thing fit spoil my name.

Ifedike must give me correct solution for this matter. Because this one don make me lose face join am.

This one pass ordinary fight. For Naija, public shame dey pain pass slap.

As I reach project department, I fit hear pin drop for corridor. Even cleaner park broom, dey peep.

I dey hear Ifedike cold voice from far.

"No let this kind thing happen again, if not, all of una go pack go house."

His voice cold, no dey play. Even for corridor, I fit feel the tension. Everybody for office go learn today. If Naija wahala get name, today na him birthday.
