My phone rang, I checked the screen and I saw an unsaved number. I looked at the clock, it said 9:00 pm West African Time. Well, I picked and realized it was Mr Andy, my co worker. I had just started working at Massive Pensions and I kept to myself mostly because I didn't want any trouble. But trouble has a way of finding one, right?
"Mr Andy, good evening sir. Is it not late for any enquiries?"
"Come on babe. It's not late when I get to talk to you. Can I come in to your apartment a bit? I need to discuss something with you."
I wondered what he wanted to talk about.
I let him in and soon afterwards I wished I hadn't opened the door.
Mr Andy wants me to his woman.
"Sir you have a wife and two adorable children, I wouldn't want to ruin that.
"Nobody has to know. It will be our secret so that nobody will spoil it. You know I love you"
I looked at him, I saw all my respect for him evaporated. This was a man that always talked of his wife and flaunted what he did for the wife that we thought she was lucky. Now I don't think she is.
He sat on my bed and I sat at the other of the bed. He asked repeatedly and I told him I cannot cheat with him on his wife. In the process of back and forth argument, he pushed me against the bed, held me down and kissed me. I froze. How will I fight him off? Panic set in as he lingered over and I started pushing against him. He tried to cup a feel. After a while I gained strength from God knows where, I pushed him away. Yet it wasn't enough for him.
