C2 THANKS FOR BEEN AN ANGEL TO ME

People who were at the bus stop at this moment, when they saw the way the lady with the baby moved over to console him, they also drew near to console him and he stopped sobbing. Then the lady with the baby asked, "What are you going to do now?"

Omoyemu looked at himself all over and said, What else is there for me to do than to go home, will I go for a job interview looking like this?"

Hearing this the lady looked at him with eyes of big disappointment and when Omoyemu saw the way she looked at him he asked, "Why are you looking at me like that, do you expect me to go and meet a man who demanded that we should wear white in this splattering season; covered from head to toe with stinking black water?"

The lady moved closer and talked freely to him as if they have known each other for a long time and not just two hours ago with hostility they just settled at this bus stop; and people looking at them even thought they are lovers.

She looked at his eyeballs and said, In this life I have found out that great men always respect any upcoming young men with unusual courage and commitment, if you dare to go the way you are now, he may not give you the particular job you are gunning for, but I am sure he will give you something to do."

Omoyemu answered and said, "Come off it, if you can do that I can't; I am even sure you can't!" The lady smiled and asked, "How many ladies like me will wrap her arm around you while you are dripping with mud water the way I just did? I am sure even your girlfriend won't, but I did it because I am a bundle of firm nerves!

Look at me, I am a secretary to a very harsh CEO, but I became his secretary because I was very courageous. When I saw the notice that the company wanted to hire a junior secretary to work with his old secretary

And that they want a young brilliant lady that is not married, not to talk of having a baby she is nursing, but I still chose to show up with four months old baby crying in my hands, talking as if I owned the place

With all other young single ladies present ruling me out, but the man seeing me among others from the monitor in his office was so moved to ask me a question; though he wasn't the one conducting the interview.

He asked his men to send me to his office, when I got there he asked me whether I did not read the notice well that I did not see see that they stipulated in the notice that young unmarried ladies alone will be considered?

Then I answered him saying, "Sir, sooner or later the young lady you chose today will marry, and been new to marriage she may not be able to effectively handle the burden of this work and her home, but I am an experienced one, I can handle myself well doing this job.

He asked me what I will do with my baby in the office hours? Then I told him that I have asked some of his staffs who came in with babies before I entered what they do with their babies, they told me you have a very good day care center, so my baby will join their babies in there, and he is a peaceful child who will not trouble the nannies till lunch break"

When the man saw my confidence and heard that I have even found out how to work there, do you know that he ordered that they should let others go, he hired me because he said I have guts!

Two months after I started working with the man throwing all kinds of stuffs of discouragement my way to test whether I will run away and he saw that I have iron will, the old secretary had paralysis and I became the main secretary"

"That is wonderful!" Omoyemu said and looked at himself all over again and asked, "You mean I should go like this?" The lady smiled and said, "If you do it I will make you my boyfriend, thank God my baby liked you"

Hearing this Omoyemu laughed and said, "You are a real funny lady, do you want your husband to kill me?" The lady answered, "If I have husband do you think I will desperately searched for a job like I did with four months old baby in my hand?"

Omoyemu exhaled and said, "You beat me hands down with your story, I have not met a lady as courageous as you, I will go as you suggested, at most the man will chase me out, but he will respect me for running the race to the finishing line when situation demanded that I should quit midway"

"That is the spirit" The lady said and Omoyemu said, "I really appreciate you stiring this kind of courage in me, if an angel like you is not here with me at this moment I will be on my way home now.

Come to think of it, we almost part with hostility if not for your maturity, you must give me your phone number because I want to get back to you later to tell you the outcome of the interview.

The lady said, " That will be cool!" So they exchange numbers, while they were doing this some people who did not witnessed what happened to Omoyemi were looking at them with wonder, thinking what could have happened to him?

They did not Know he got to this bus stop in a translucent white dress. Omoyemu would have cowered under their scrutiny, but with this lady standing with him he just did not care.

After he collected her phone number, he asked for her name and the lady said her name is Itunu, then she said, "Please do not take what I said the other time to heart, it was just a joke, I am not looking for a boyfriend at this stage of my life, rather I am looking for how to climb ladder of success"

Omoyemu looked at her with a smile and said that is what I am looking for too and we can travel together as friends to help each other along the way, my own name is Omoyemi, thanks a million, I need to go so that I will not add lateness to my dirty appearance"

Itunu said, "Let us go together, I also want to get to my office in time and clean up my dress anyway I can" The two of them raced across the road, but before they part ways Itunu obtained a promise from him that he will stay sweet while he is in that office.
