THE ROMANTIC OFFICE SAGA: PART 95

THE ROMANTIC OFFICE SAGA: PART 95

She placed whatever she had in my pocket, removed her hand and stood beside me.
“Do not open it until I have gone out of your office.” Sally told me beaming with a smile, an affectionate smile.
I opened my eyes, looked at her and smiled. She quickly bent and planted a kiss on my lips; then left silently.
I picked what was in my pocket and behold, out came a very nice red small love card, wrapped with a flowery red ribbon. I unwrapped the ribbon and inside the card Sally’s own handwriting greeted my eyes with a message: You are my oasis in this desert of love, you are my rising sun in this cold world, every heartbeat of my heart in my living days always say, “I love you, Darling Tony.”
That was a sweet surprise from Sally that morning, but it was funny that both ladies thought the same thing all at once.
I reached for my pocket to look at the note that Irene had placed in my inner pocket; the note was missing.
============
“May I come in.” Loveynna said as I was busy working.
“Come in.” I told her and she came in. She took a seat in front of my table.
“I have brought the list you had told me.” Loveynana told me and I remembered I had told her to prepare a list of items she would need in order to be our residence nurse. I went through the list and we discussed a few more items.
“Which of the empty offices would you feel most comfortable to use?” I asked Loveynna
“The one at the corner, closest to the restaurant, it is also close to the store where I store my items.” Loveynna told me. There were 4 more free offices.
“Fine, we shall organize and see you have that office, it is a small office room, but a nice one.” I told Loveynna. She looked at me intently and told me, “I really appreciate.” She said and left.
But there was something odd with Loveynna that I could not really get to a point of knowing what it was.
Since I had a lot to do, I began working fast but before I even got much busy, Luke came into my room.
“Welcome Luke.” I told him.
“Sir, I appreciate you influenced ladies to change their dressing code but it seems they have not changed their habits. There is a need to be praying in the morning when we come to work. There is a lot of immorality in this company.” Luke told me.
“Luke, I appreciate your concern. But all these are adults and we cannot control their behaviors. As long as someone is not committing a crime, we let them be.” I told Luke who did not seem pleased with my answer. He thought for a while and told me, “Thank you for listening to me. Thank you for your time.” Luke told me and left my office.
I thought for a while what Luke just told me. I even wondered why he was so insistent on people praying.
I stood up and went for tea and I met Zuhura who was washing the restaurant floor.
“Why are you scrubbing now?” I asked her.
“I spilled some water by mistake, so I am cleaning up.” Zuhura told me. 
However, as she was scrubbing the floor, she slipped and was about to fall; I moved swiftly and held her in place, pulling her so hard against me until her breasts landed squarely on my chest as she stilled herself, she held me tightly too.
“Gosh! I nearly fell, thank you!” Zuhura told me but she had twisted her ankle and as she tried to walk away from me fast, she again nearly fell.
“Let me support you.” I told her. I held her by her waist and took her gently to her seat inside the restaurant counter. While holding her waist, I noticed that Zuhura had a very small waist as compared to her hips which was never visible or evident since she was always on bui bui. I also got to observe her boobs as the loose Islamic attire hugged her body as I held her and realized she had the most erect n!pples I have ever seen under a fabric. I figured out Zuhura must have been an extremely beautiful lady and were it not for the bui bui, we would all perhaps salivate for her.
As I lowered her gently to her seat, our eyes met and I felt sudden lustful desire sweet me all over my body; she must have felt similarly and she instantly looked away and muttered a soft, smooth, “Thank you.”
“Are you hurt?” I asked her.
“A little, my ankle has twisted.” Zuhura told me.
“Can I check it?” I asked her. I expected she will turn that down due to her strict Islamic stance and religion. But to my surprise, she told me, “There is a Robb at my handbag, take some and apply to my ankle please.”
I took the Robb and smeared her on her ankle, noting how brown the lady was. She stretched her legs such that I could see up to her lower thigh and oh lord, Zuhura had such shapely legs like a model, with full thighs so rounded like sculptured by an artist. I caressed her ankle with the Robb, squatting in front of her admiring her fine legs. She had nice long fingers on her on her legs with fine fingernails. Her ankles were so brown like a real Arab.
I pressed her ankle and she said, “Easy there, it hurts!” As she said so, she shifted such that I had almost full view of her inner thighs. At that point, I stopped looking at her since I was sure I could start to admire her and she was seriously out of bounds.
I was mesmerized by Zuhura’s beauty, just a glimpse of it and I wondered, what if she was naked?
Suddenly, we heard Carol and Chris talking coming towards restaurant and Zuhura said all of a sudden, “Stop! Someone might see us. I will call you later.” Zuhura told me. I wondered what she meant by, “I will call you later.”
“Hello Zuhura!” Chris greeted Zuhura extending his hand to give her a handshake. They shook each other’s hand and sat down.
As Zuhura stood to walk, she was limping.
“What is it Zuhura?” Carol was concerned. 
“I twisted my ankle when I was cleaning.” Zuhura told Carol. 
“Can I call my sister to look at it?” Carol asked Zuhura.
“No, I am all right, I will be fine. Thank you for your concern.” Zuhura told Carol smiling.
Zuhura served us and I drank my tea and samosas fast, and returned to my office to work.
But as I sat in my desk, I could not stop thinking of what Zuhura meant by she will call me. 
As I was working and thinking, Letisha came to my office.
“Our cash is almost finished, we need some top up please.” She told me.
“All right, will tell Sally to consider that.” I told Letisha.
As Letisha stood by the door to go out, I realized you could see through her thin dress and she was not wearing anything inside, her buttocks were bare. I thought that could have been what triggered Luke to come to my office.
She wanted to say something but stopped when she saw Sally coming to my office.
=======
“I have called a tailor to come and take our measurements so that we can have a uniform. But I have a little concern. With my pregnancy, is it necessary to have the company attire?” Sally asked as if wanting me to decide for her.
“Oh! Yes, at least as an example to the rest. We need it.” I told her.
“What about Zuhura?” Sally asked.
I had completely not thought of Zuhura since her attire were more of religious.
“Let me call her.” I picked my phone extension and called her to come.
Zuhura came to my office fast.
“Zuhura, welcome. You have never been in my office. Now we are thinking of having a company attire, or uniform sort of and we thought about you. We thought you might have a problem with the attire due to your religion.” I told Zuhura.
“Hmmm, I have no problem, however, I would have to say how I want mine made it has to reflect my beliefs.” Zuhura said.
“Fine, the tailor is on the way here, when he comes, you will have the opportunity to tell him.” I told Zuhura, she seemed uncomfortable being taken measurements by a male tailor but before she protested, Sally said, “It is a female tailor who is coming. She is on the way here.”
“Oh! Thank you, I appreciate that, Madam Sally.” Zuhura said in a soft polite voice.
“Fine, you may go back to your work.” Sally told Zuhura and she left.
“Wow! These Swahilis and politeness is toxic!” Sally told me and we laughed.
I was still wondering whether Sally had taken the note from Irene from my pocket. There was no way of knowing and I did not have the courage to even ask her.
==========
The female tailor came and took our measurements, with Zuhura giving her further instructions on how she wanted her uniform to be made. 
Carol was so excited to have the new uniform, since it was her idea and initiative. She felt important that day. 
Generally, everyone was very excited at the idea of having a company attire, and it was well received and I did not expect it.
During Lunch time as we were eating our lunch, Zuhura kept throwing glances at me. She was so lively and was laughing at my every little joke I was making.
“Zuhura! You are so lively today, what came over you?” Cynthia asked after Zuhura laughed at one of my mundane jokes.
“Hmm, am I not entitled to be happy? I am just feeling happy!” Zuhura said and laughed even harder.
“Zuhura, do you have a younger sister?” Chris asked Zuhura jokingly.
“Yes, why?” Zuhura asked.
“I want to marry her. You are too beautiful and I know you are married.” Chris said jokingly.
“Hmm, she is married too, you are not lucky.” Zuhura told Chris and looked at me. I winked at her and she winked back; no one noticed.
“Zuhura, now that you are a muslim would you allow your husband to marry more than 1 wife?” Cynthia asked Zuhura.
“I have no problem. So long as he can cater for all of us our needs, both physical and the rest…” Zuhura said and left the sentence midway.
“How do you survive with your man so far?” Maureen asked Zuhura.
“I persevere, nothing is too hard when you are determined.” Zuhura told Maureen.
“For me I cannot.” Letisha said. I knew she would not after all, she was fucking a gateman.
“What about you, Loveynna?” Cynthia asked. Loveynna just looked at us sheepishly for some time and I could tell she was uncomfortable with the question if not the discussion. 
“I don’t know.” Loveynna said. Everyone looked at her.
“What do you mean you don’t know?” Chris asked her. Carol looked at Chris intently.
Loveynna smiled shyly and said, “ I shall know once I get there, for now, I don’t know what to say.” 
Collins looked at Loveynna, then at Carol then back to Loveynna and told her, “Just say you are a virgin, we will understand.” 
“Collins! Come on!” Carol said defensively as if not wanting her younger sister to be bothered. But Loveynna smiled and said, “Yes, I am still a virgin. I intend to only give myself to the man who shall marry me.”
Immediately Loveynna said that, all eyes turned on her. But it seemed like Luke was not as impressed as she was when Irene said was a virgin sometimes back. It was like he did not believe that. 
“Yes, my younger sister wanted to be a nun sometimes back, I don’t know if she still has that ambition or she changed her mind. But dare joke with her and I will pluck your balls off.” Carol said menacingly and we laughed. 
“I am serious! I know hyenas would jump on her at slightest opportunity…” But as Carol as speaking, Loveynna cut her short politely, “Carol, I am a mature lady now, I can take care of myself, thank you.”
Carol looked at Loveynna intently but since Loveynna was smiling, she smiled too.
“Yes, she is mature, no need to be over protective to her.” Luke said calmly. 
“At this century, a 22 years old virgin! That is a lie!” Letisha said. That must have provoked Loveynna. She looked at Letisha with stern eyes and told her, “If you were fucking left, right and center, just know not everyone was fucking around. Some of us know what we want in this life.” 
“Excuse me! You dare talk to me like that?!” Letisha said angrily.
“Yes, who are you to speak for every woman?” Loveynna asked Letisha.
“You young girls pretend to be virgins so that men can admire you, but you are hypocrites. You have aborted severally and your wombs are graves! It is even better for us single mothers. At least we retained our children than you young ladies who pretend to be holy but have aborted dozen times.” Letisha said without flinching her words.
Before Loveynna spoke, Maureen said, “Yes, I hate pretenders. Do you think you want to please men by pretending you are a virgin!”
Zuhura cut them short, “Hey, come on! Be sensible for once you ladies. Leave her alone! I also got married a virgin so it is not a big deal. Are you jealous that she is a virgin?”
“No, we are not jealous, but let her be honest!” Letisha said. 
“Letisha, if you are a prostitute, not every lady is a prostitute, furthermore who does not know you have been fucking every dick around here, Kiptoo, Collins, Luke, you even Fucked Abdi before he went, who knows who is next? Stupid bitch! You dare talk to my sister like that again and I will show you she has an older sister! If you are fucking every man, just know not every woman is as loose as you are!” Carol said. Before she finished her sentence, my eyes were set on Luke. There was a lot of ignominy written all over Luke’s face like someone who wanted the earth to open and swallow him alive. 
Letisha stood up and began going for Carol but I moved in between the two ladies who were threatening to tear into each other’s throats with insults renting the air. Sally was just watching the drama, not talking.
“Jesus Christ!” Luke exclaimed, swallowed hard whatever was in his mouth until he choked. He coughed hard and once he regained his breath he said, “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus Christ! How dare you talk so ill of me?” Luke said looking at Carol.
“Do you think I am a fool? You are here calling my sister pretender, hypocrite and all slutty names yet you have been turning your office into bedroom when you remain behind after work?” Carol said. I was shocked. I hopped Carol was just being malicious. Chris was however smiling. I knew there must be something the two knew that we did not know. I moved to where Chris was seated as Carol and Letisha engaged in a shouting match, with Collins standing between them.
“Chris, come with me to your office. I want to access the CCTV records right now.” I told Chris. 
“Carol and Letisha, see me in my office right away!” Sally told the two ladies and she want to her office after hurriedly eating her lunch.
I sat with Chris as I punched the access codes to the hard drive in the server room that was storing al records of CCTV system from all camera feeds. I particularly was interested in camera 4 records; that was the camera that was located in accounts office.
“Tony, all along and you never told me we can access these records?” Chris wondered. I smiled.
“Carol knew.” I told Chris. However, I had told Carol not to show Chris, for security reasons. I did not even allow Chris to know the access key to the records.
I scanned through the records, the video captures and the audio captures until I came to where Luke and Letisha remained behind for the first time on their office.
=========
What I witnessed in the record was akin to a pornography movie. The whole scene was how Letisha seduced Luke until Luke finally fell for Letisha’s charms.
“Damn! Luke of all people?!” I finally said as I stood up. Chris just laughed softly.
