THE ROMANTIC OFFICE SAGA: PART 126

THE ROMANTIC OFFICE SAGA: PART 126

We followed the car until we came to the Nairobi Nakuru highway. The driver was too fast and I was almost unable to keep pace since I was not used to driving that fast. Suddenly we slowed down and left the main road, followed a marram road, came to a big compound that looked like the house was an 18th century castle in the middle of nowhere. The gate was a huge metallic gate and the compound was surrounded by an 8 feet concrete wall.
I was led to a garage and immediately someone came to show us the way to the main living room. The house was complex and you could not just leave or get in without being guided, or granted access through electronic cards.
“Welcome, Tony. Meet my team and each will introduce himself or herself.” Ahmed said, who was already waiting for us.
Each one was introduced to me one at a time but I took special interest at a lady who was their telecommunication engineer. Her name was Scophine Nyambura and she was a slim, tall, dark stunning beauty with a smile that could disarm someone. She was wearing a long blue dress that had some flowery patterns at the bottom.
“Let us get to business since we do not want to detain you for long here.” Scophine told me and motioned me to follow her. We came to a room which looked like an astronaut space control center with so many sophisticated instruments and computer screens. I even wondered how I was going to be of help to these people.
“Sit please.” Scophine told me.


I sat, looking at one screen in particular.
After we sat, Scophine took me through what was expected of me and all sounded possible until she told me there were some what she called “electronic dust” that I was supposed to go and spray onto Reginah’s clothes.
“How am I supposed to do that?” I asked Scophine.
“Don’t be stupid, you have been fucking this woman and suddenly you want to tell me you do not know how to do this? Do you want to die?” Scophine suddenly turned tough talking.
“All right, give it to me, I will find a way.” I told her.
“Now you are talking.” She told me. The dust was meant to keep track on Reginah. That did not sound good at all.
After we were done, Ahmed told a certain young man to escort us and ensure we are on the highway before returning. He had a state of the art motorbike. He followed us and as soon as we hit the highway, he turned and went back.
=========
“Are you being recruited into some criminal network?” Collins asked.
“I just do not know what is going on, but we will find out.” I told Collins.
“I just sat there watching a movie, no one bothered talking to me.” Collins said. I had expected that since the men did not seem interested in side shows and were so particular with whatever they wanted.
Immediately we got home, I found food already ready.
“Sally, I want to have a word with you.” I told Sally. She looked at me with some seriousness and did not ask a word until we were done talking.
We went to our bedroom.
I did not know how to begin the whole story, but I just went straight to the point of what I wanted of her.
“Sally, I want you to resign, go to Turkana if possible, get a job there and stay there until I come for you, I will explain to you why.” I told Sally.
She was so shocked her face turned pale.
“What are you talking about?” Sally asked.
I had to shield her from whatever eventuality.
“There are some people who are after me for whatever I do not know. However, they seem to have been monitoring me and my moves. I met with them and they want Kurd to be released from Jail, remember the guy? They also want to kill Reginah the cop. Worse, they want me to help them and failure to they will harm you or me or both of us, I want to place you out of harm’s way. You and our baby. I want to be the one to deal with them alone.” I told Sally.
Instead, Sally laughed, a simple laugh. I could not understand.
“My dear, what do you take me for? A chicken or what? Why would I even be scared of such a story if at all you are telling me the truth? Forget it. I am not going anywhere. I can protect myself and you too if need be. Just tell me what is going on into details.” Sally more of demanded than requested.
I breathed in, looked at her and saw seriousness in her eyes.
I had no choice than to tell her so much of what I thought had been going on. But I omitted some details like these guys knowing that I have been fucking Zuhura.
“So, Irene want Morris dismissed from the company so as she can be alone in the department?” Sally asked.
“Yes.” I answered.
“Done.” Sally said calmly.
“What??” I was surprised.
“Done, I am going to get him fired tomorrow morning.” Sally said, I was about to talk when Sally told me, “I will handle it.”
“Sally, I think you won’t be able to handle this. It is complicated.” I told Sally not wanting to go for further details.
Sally looked at me.
“Are you hiding something from me?” Sally asked.
“No, I have told you everything.” I told her. She did not seem convinced.
========
However, the following day at work, things took a wrong turn. I do not know how the rumors that I was fucking Zuhura got there and Sally got to know about it. She called me into her office and she was not in good mood.
“Tony, how can you be fucking another woman right here under my nose? Tony, you mean after I trusted you all that much this is what you repay me with?” Sally asked.
I knew I was cornered.
“I…..she….she is the one who tempted me…” I stammered.
“Can you stop trying to say that! Don’t you have a mind of your own to say yes or no! How would you feel if I did the same to you?” Sally asked. She was getting angrier.
“I am sorry it happened, please……” I was about to tell her to forgive me when she suddenly told me, “Just go away, I do not want to see you here now.” Sally told me.
I knew the best to do is leave her alone.
I did not even notice that Morris had not come to work that day either.
I was not even in the mood to eat that day, but I knew I had to do Ahmed’s assignments as soon as possible or get into trouble. I knew I could not tell the police since no one would be trusted. So, in the afternoon, I called Reginah and told her I was going at her place.
I arrived at Reginah’s place at around 4 pm and as soon as I settled in her living room she told me, “You look not ok today. Why?”
“I quarreled with my wife, just some domestic affairs nothing much.” I told Reginah.
“Ok, you know how best to solve it.” Reginah told me.
In as much as I wanted to give Reginah over to the thugs, I could not. My conscience would not allow me. I was so disturbed and confused.
Reginah came over and we began kissing slowly. She openly told me she really wanted a fuck but I was so stressed I continued kissing her all the same but deep down I was not in the mood.
We kissed, caressed and even got undressed but as Reginah touched my penis, it was as flaccid as a dead meat. She looked at me.
I knew she did not expect it. She began to suck my penis trying to arouse me but no matter what she did, my penis would not get hard at all.
Reginah tried severally, sweet talking me, caressing me but finally she gave up.
“Tony, you are hiding something from me. I can feel it. This is not you at all.” Reginah told me.
I felt like telling her everything.
“Can you tell me what is going on?” She asked, more of begging. I watched at her naked lying next to me, with her nipples looking upwards, her thighs parted. I was naked too and our bodies were touching.
“I know you will hate me so much for telling you this.” I began talking.
“Go on, I have heard so many things in my life until nothing shocks me.” Reginah urged me.
I gathered courage and told her literally everything including the criminal network that wants her dead, their demands to have Kurd released, the Irene’s sudden demands, their threats to me and my family, etc.
Reginah thought it for a while.
“So, if they kill me, all this madness will be solved. Isn’t it?” Reginah asked.
“I think so. But I do not want you to die either.” I told Reginah.
Reginah thought for a while, and said, “I can sacrifice myself for your happiness.”
That statement shook me to the core.
“What the hell are you talking about?” I asked Reginah.
“I am going to let them have their way. Life is not all about living, but letting the people you love live.” Reginah said sounding so serious.
“You are mad.” I told her.
“I have always been mad. Now, get dressed up and go back to your wife. Solve whatever issues you have.” Reginah told me standing up to get dressed up.
I still could not comprehend her statement.
“Reginah, you are not making sense at all. Are you talking of letting them kill you?” I asked her.
“Of course, yes. Why not? If that is going to save you and your family so be it. You have a young child to take care of, your family needs you. What do I have? Just a nice job and money nothing else.” Reginah said.
I was not looking at her. When I looked at her, her eyes were red but expressionless.
I really wished she had a way out of it, but getting herself murdered was just insane. I did not argue with her further. After all, she was a highly trained cope and undercover and probably she would have a way out of it.
Reginah escorted me and I left to go back to my place.
When I arrived home, it was around 10 pm and I found the whole family already asleep. I went straight to bedroom. I had not eaten anything.
“Have you eaten your food?” Sally asked me.
“No. I do not feel like.” I told her. She however got out of bed, went to the kitchen, fetched some food for me and brought it for me to our bedroom.
“Now, eat. Do not sleep hungry.” Sally told me and went back to bed.
“Sally, my dear. Can we talk?” I asked Sally.
“Not today, I am tired.” Sally said and faced the wall. The baby was asleep in his small bed.
I ate my food silently, bathed and joined Sally to bed.
==========
The following day at work, things were moving slowly for me since I was feeling so lethargic. When Letisha came for my signature for approval of salaries, I did not even realize that in the list of people to be paid, Sally’s name was missing. I came to realize later after one week when her salary failed to reflect in her main account.
I called Irene who was responsible for making list of all worth being paid.
“Irene, Sally did not receive her salary, I need an explanation.” I told her.
“Oh! I am so sorry, I must have omitted her name by mistake please I can go and rectify that and her money will reflect in her main account.” Irene suggested.
“Do that right away and bring for me the feedback.” I told her and she left.
Later, it was Cynthia who came with the cheque to take it to be deposited. I however had a constant headache and decided to go to Loveynnas office to get some diclofenac.
“Welcome, my love. It is being a while since you came to my office.” Loveynna told me.
“I have been busy. Besides, we normally come here when we feel ill, right?” I tried to sound lively.
“For me you can pay me a visit any time.” Loveynna told me smiling trying to cheer me up.
“I will be visiting no problem.” I told her, as I was leaving.
I met Collins along the corridor.
“Bro, I told you to try weed, weed is medicine. Right now, you would be happy.” Collins told me.
“You know so well, I cannot do weed, weed destroys the brain.” I told Collins.
“You shall know once you begin using it.” Collins told me and left me standing there.
I went back to my office. Nothing was making any sense to me anymore.
Suddenly, my phone rang and I went to check who was calling. It was Scophine the telecommunication engineer.
“Hello, Anthony, can I meet you in the evening please. Don’t fail. Meet me at Accra Restaurant on your way to Limuru, at 3 pm. Keep time.” She told me and hang up.
An idea came to my mind.
I went to Sally’s office.
“I wish to go to meet someone in town, it is urgent.” I told Sally.
“I know it is a woman. Just go.” Sally told me with a flat tone.
“Yes, it is a woman. Not what you think.” I told Sally.

“No problem, just come back home alive and if you must, use a condom. I am getting used to being married by a Casanova.” Sally told me.
“Damn! Honey, what….” I was saying and Sally told me, “Shhh, don’t explain it, even when you began you were not giving me an explanation. I am ok, go and come back in one piece.”
I had no choice than to just leave, but I left not happy.
I went home, wore the best clean suit that I had, the gift from Reginah. Applied myself pheromones perfume and set myself to seduce Scophine into telling me something that shall make sense. I even armed myself with HIV rapid test kits just in case.
I passed by a certain shop, bought some chewing mints and drove slowly thinking no what to do just in case Scophine came along alone.
I even called Scophine just to be sure she was indeed coming.
