*****SHADOWS FROM THE PAST***** EPISODE 8 The next day at work Tina got to work very early to start work before the arrival of her secretary or Mr Clement. She started printing out copies of the total number of contracts awarded to the company. Something Lola, her secretary is supposed to do but to reduce the workload on her she decided to help her with it so when Lola comes she’ll spiral band the papers into about twenty copies to be submitted to various departmental heads and their assistants including the CEO, whom she is yet to meet in person. “Good morning madam.” Lola greeted. “Good morning Lola, how are you doing?” “Am fine ma. What are you doing here?” She asked. “Am helping you reduce the workload for today. Anyway am almost through with the computation, all you need to do now is print out twenty copies of each page then you spiral band it. Making it a total of twenty copies to be produced.” Tina instructed as she stood up and made for her office. “I really appreciate your kindness. The CEO will be in office today.” Lola said to her retreating figure. Two hours later Tina has been less busy since she left Lola’s office two hours ago. There has not been much to do. There was a knock on the door, “Come in.” Tina said. The door opened and Mr Clement the contract valuation manager walked in smiling. “What the hell is he looking for now?” Tina asked herself. Clement walked in and sat down without being invited to sit. He was staring at Tina while Tina was trying to take her eyes off his. The silence was killing, for the past two minutes no one has said a thing. “I guess you are here for a staring competition which am not interested in.” Tina said rudely. “Don’t be rude am your boss.” Clement replied. “How may I help you?” Tina asked. “I want to take you out on a date after the closing hour today.” Clement said. “Why will you take me out on a date? Its not like we have any thing between us except the relationship between two colleagues.” Tina replied. “You should at least offer me a drink or are you keeping them for the future?” Clement asked pointing to the refrigerator that stood at the far end of the office. Just then the telephone rang. “Tina on the line.” She said on picking the call. “The CEO wants to meet you.” Lola said. “Okay. I’ll be there in a jiffy.” Tina replied. “Just look good.” Lola said laughing. Tina dropped the telephone and looked at Clement who was frowning. “I have to be in the CEO’s office.” She said. “I’ll wait for you here.” Clement replied. “Excuse me?” Tina asked loosing her temper. “I’ll be back later.” Clement said as he stood up and exited the office. Tina hissed as she adjusted her hair and straightened her cloth. She walked out of her office instructing Lola to take down her messages. The CEO’s office Tina got to the front of a door marked with an Inscription THE OFFICE OF THE CEO. A lady was seated behind her table just beside the door. “Hi.” Tina said. “Hello.” The lady replied. “I want to see Mr Raymond.” Tina said. “You must be miss Tina?” “Yes.” The lady picked up the phone and put a call through to Raymond asking for permission to grant Miss Tina entrance. “You can go in.” The lady said on dropping the call. Tina walked into the CEO’s office her heartbeat increasing to two beats per millisecond. “Good morning sir.” Tina greeted. Raymond raised up his head from whatever he was doing on his computer system. He got strucked with her beauty as he couldn’t take his eyes off her. “Have your sit.” He said almost stammering. Tina managed to sit down even though she was marvelled at Raymond’s handsomest. Isn’t this love at first sight?
