Chapter 7 A Dream Reveal

• "Bikini in Winter?”his voice bellowed.
• "Emmm sir it's not snowing in Nigeria”.
• "How many Nigerians wear bikinis this season then”
• Dan was speechless.
• "Great design but poor execution,I can manage".
• "Thanks boss".
• I pinched him, feeling proud of him and happy for him. Next one was kamsy's slide, the latest bride.
• "What's this Mrs Luke,did you upload this from Google?"
• "I worked on it Prince, maybe it's too perfect,you think I got it from the internet”.
• She replied rather sarcastically with an attitude.
• "First don't ever call me by my name, Because I lend your hubby money for his luxurious wedding,isn't a go thing to call me by my name".
• Wow that was an eye opener, I didn’t know if I was the only one who heard that, Luke borrowed it for his wedding?
• Yes I forgot, I was the one bringing food to the table while I was dating him.
• Daniel heard that too I guessed, because he glance at me and smirked.
• "Sorry sir".
• Kamsy replied embarrassed,others started muttering about the reveal.
• It was so embarrassing. I can't believe I felt sorry for her. What kind of man says that to his friend’s wife in public or else he is no friend of Luke.
• "Your work is obviously stolen,I think I have seen it before, because of Luke,I will Ignore".
• Gosh he is so blunt and speaks like he is kind of a Demigod , he keeps no secret or gives a little respect.
• "Thanks sir". Kamsy replied with no atom of emotion on her cold face, it must be hard for her. Next was mine, I was so lost with Kamsys mischief,I totally forgot about my one chance of retaining my job.
• I quickly closed my eyes nervously.
• "Who is this? obsessed with wedding gowns?"
• "It's mine sir".
• "Why a wedding gown?"
• "It's almost Easter sir,it's wedding season".
• "So Easter is now called the wedding season?" I chuckled nervously.
• "That's Nigeria for you sir but mostly Christmas but that was months ago”.
• He said nothing, not a single word,he just stare at the design then back to me then to my design. I held my breath nervously.
• "Jennifer".
• All eyes turned towards her as soon as the boss called her name.
• "Look at the person you mocked and told me to get rid of. She is hella talented! I mean this design is world classic".
• I don't know if I am hearing things, he just scolds me and now sings praises to me in front of everyone,so opposite of our former boss”.
• "Emm sir, how are you sure she designed that?”
• Jennifer stammered lacking words.
• "Because I'm not as stupid as you!"
• Wow that hurts, looks like she gave him expired breast milk this time, or maybe this boss doesn't like breast milk, tried not to laugh.
• "She has zero sense of fashion,"Jennifer snapped back,losing it.
• "She's a thousand times better than you". That clap back was thrilling, everyone in the room felt it including Kamsy.
• "I doubt,I don't do designs if not...I.”. Sir Prince cuts her out.
• "Next time you come to my office to expose your rotten body ,I will make sure I sue for sexual harassment,do you ever think i can mingle with someone like you,you are not half of the Lowest class of women ,I deal with.
• It’s an insult to everything I stand for,know your class miss,if you see your regular country big boy you can go ahead".
• Wow, our almighty classic Jennifer was treated like a local fowl.
• This boss is very difficult,I hope we don't have a problem because there’s no way I can't beat this demo god. He continued as no other voice was heard, not even a pin drop.
• "I think this is my best design"he said as he swiped over others then back to mine. We watched on the big screen projection.
• "What's your name again?"
• "Valerie sir".
• “This is the worst design I have ever seen but sadly the best from this miserable team,if you don't work harder,you won't be able to make it in the fashion world".
• "I promise i will work harder next time" I replied excitedly.
• "Mr Daniel,you too".
• "Yes boss" Daniel replied.
• "Good, Valerie, the last three designs are going home, tomorrow get me a better design,than this,you have a whole night to think,and use your super powers, goodluck".
• Finally he dismissed each of us.
• "Thanks sir"we all chorused and left the conference room.
• My head was swollen and heavy with pride.
• I don't know about Daniel but he seems happy too.
• We both got complimented by the almighty boss,wow what a day I can sleep happy finally. I went back to my seat beaming in joy.
• The way he defended me against Jennifer and complimented me in front of everyone, won't stop ringing in my head.
• I feel so important for the first time in my life but I wonder how I am going to survive this Mr perfectionist of a boss.
• ****
• Gunshots were fired,I fell to the ground covering my ears and then I saw a little girl crying,she looked white beside her was a corpse,I recognized it as our new boss in a pool of blood, opposite direction was a man holding the pistol that shot him,he removed his masked,I was so scared. I screamed out loudly.
• I jumped on my bed ,then realized that it's a dream, not just a dream,it's one of my revelations that usually comes to reality within the next 24 hrs.
• I needed to do something,I quickly took my phone,I felt my heart pounding nervously. I dialed Daniel's number,but it wasn’t going through.
• "How am I supposed to tell the boss this ,he will never listen!!"I snapped out loud,disturbed.
• I put the phone down and quickly rushed to take my bath.
• After I dressed for work and went to the company Getting there, it looked the same as the dream scene,the cars parked the same way .
• I quickly went to his secretary.
• "I need to see the boss immediately, it's urgent".
• "I am sorry but he is not meeting with the employees this morning,also he is scheduled to get his sister from the airport,he will be leaving in a few minutes time".
• “His sister?" I had a flashback,about the girl crying beside the corpse.
• “Is his sister a white girl?”.
• I asked myself then of course he is biracial which makes it 50 per possible.
• "Look it's very important please,let me get in, it's a matter of life and death".
• I said to the secretary.
• "I am sorry what?" She replied surprised.
