Nash Finest Douchebag (Episode 2)
Tolu walked
back to his car and stared at it for some minutes wondering what he was going
to do about his situation, he noticed the light on his phone has starting to
flick, he unlocked his car and withdrew his phone, his guess was right, it was
his boss calling, he knew he was in a big soup already, “ Oga! How far nah!”
the newspaper boy distracted him for a moment from him making a decision on
whether to pick up or not. “See I dey come, wait first” he shot at the boy in
annoyance, the boy decided to rest his back on Tolu’s car, he was bent on
collecting the money he had been promised, Tolu took a deep breath and picked
his boss call up, “Where the hell are you Tolu, have you forgotten about the
presentation this morning? Why do I put up with your nonsense young man?”
His
boss attacked him over the phone in sheer vexation. Tolu who held the position
for being the biggest liar in the world replied “Sir, I just retrieved my phone
now, I’m presently at the police station to give a statement of a theft, my car
was snatched from me sir but the police have apprehended the robbers sir, I was
on my way to the office when I was attacked by robbers oh! They took my car and
sped off, luckily for me the police caught up with them and I’m getting my car
back in some minutes sir, I would be with you in minutes sir”, “God damn it
Tolu, are you okay, hope you were not harmed?” his boss asked concerned, “No
sir, I am very fine sir, the officers need my attention right now sir, I shall
be there shortly” Tolu lied again, the lady he had been staring at moments
earlier was now about to leave, she had heard most part of his lies and this
made her laugh on her way out of the banking premises shaking her head, Tolu smiles
at her as he watched her pass but she ignored him, he hung up and made up his
mind to go retrieve his atm card from the banking hall, he looked back at the
lady one more time and was tempted to go after her for a little chat, he
changed his mind when he remembered his job, he asked the newspaper boy to wait
some more as he walks into the banking hall.
Tolu quietly
prayed as he entered the air-conditioned banking hall that his attendants would
be a female, he walked up to the customer care desk and sat down, the pretty
girl at the desk pleaded for him to be patient with her while she attended to
someone on the phone, he would be more than glad to do that, he sat back and
relaxed trying to see what her legs looked like but he could only see her feet,
he liked her clean looking feet, he smiled at himself and was just in time to
find her watching him with a concerned look, “good morning sir, how may I help
you” she said now dropping the phone, he stopped smiling and told her about his
atm card, she asked him how-come he lost his card to the atm machine, he was
about to start explaining another lie when she cuts through and pointed a room
to lodge his compliant, “Your ATM issue would be sorted out when you get over
there” she said with a smile. Tolu nodded and stood up trying to be cool, still
praying for his female attendant, he got to the entrance of the door-less
office and stared at the young man seated at the desk, “You’re welcome sir,
please have a seat.” The young man said with a brief smile, Tolu who was indeed
very disappointed decided to cut to the chase without even greeting him, “Your
ATM machine swallowed my ATM card, your machine’s probably faulty or something”
he said with a straight face, “Oh that! We get that a lot here especially from
people who are using our ATM machines for the first time” the young man replies
with a warm and assuring smile and said to Tolu again “That would be handled
soon without delay, Mr ho?”, Tolu who was still irritated with the male
attendant he was talking to stared at the young man for some brief seconds and
asked out of some kind of vexation “Why are you smiling, are you trying to hit
on me?” They both stared at each other as they both realized the stupidity of
Tolu’s last statement…………..to be continued.
