We went back to the house the next day and stood outside the house in the front of the gate expecting the gatekeeper to open. Segun wore a long skinny and a t-shirt with necklace around his neck. I told him not to panic that if it turns out that it will be a difficult task for him as a lady then he can probably step back. We finally entered after greeting the gatekeeper and he laughed at Segun dress.
âAre you here for international interview or what. Because I donât understand the long skirt and t-shirts on Tuesday morning like this in an apartment like this. Wahala dey for this Lagos ooo na different people with different m@dness of dressing hahaha.
âWont you watch your mouth, you this peacock!â Segun answered angrily and the gateman laughed the more.
âSee who dey talk. No, just tell me. Who is talking like peacock between you and I. Just see how you look, are you even female at all. Because your own female na dry bone. No yansh nothing nothing. See your face like strong apku.
âHa! Mr man that is too much from you and I canât stand here watching you lashed my friend in that manner. You better watch your tongue!â I responded angrily pointing directly to his eyes.
âIf not that you yourself did not have eyes. How can you see this imberibe (ugly person) and have her as friend. Or you donât know that itâs who you walk with that will determine the kind of person youâre. How did you even end up with this village girl abi na woman I go talk sef.
âAnd how is that your business. No just tell me your problem Mr man!
âHa, you don dey vexâ He laughed sitting on his long bench and raising his hand that he isnât going to say anything.
âYou better keep your mouth shut or elseâŚ. or else I will deal with you.â I said and hold Segun hand and walked inside the house.
âI don too suffer aswearugod! If nor be say I know one spoil things for us. Aswear I go remove all these things wey dey my body finish that useless boy wey be like Chinese stick now now.
âJust calm down, Segun please calm down. I know how youâre feeling right now but donât allow it spoil our plans as you said.â I said to him tapping his back.
We entered and sat on the couch while the chef go inside to call the woman.
âE be like say I don dey sweat ooo shey this yeye powder no go clean like this?.
âJust fan yourself a lit but so dry it up â I responded.
âHere are our new employee.
We greeted immediately we saw the woman and a man who is definitely her husband behind her. The man look so much like Dolapo, it is just as if they are carbon copy of each other. The man is not really fat and he has a tribal marks like three on each cheeks. He was holding a inhaler that is mostly used for nostrils on his left hand. He smiled and sit down with his wife as they access our look.
âMy wife have told me about you two.
âThank you sir.â We answered.
âWell, why are you just coming?â He asked and we looked at each other speechless.
âYou were told to start work today and youâre coming by what time?
âOh, ha sir. We didnât know we are really starting today.â I answered.
âSo if youâre not starting today then what are you here for?â He asked in a widely look that can give hypertension.
âWe are sorry sirâŚ.we are sorry maâ We both said begging and bowing our heads.
âNo problem â He sniffed and get up.
âThank you sir.â We said and he waved at us.
His wife called the chef which is a girl and asked her to take Segun to the kitchen in other to put him through some things he should know and I was told to start my work immediately I will be giving what to use and clean the house. I thanked her and she went upstairs singing along.
I looked around the sitting room and saw pictures at the wall. I was looking around hoping to see Dolapo photos and alas! I saw one on the shelf where their decoder is and I became happy that itâs her house we definitely are. I was showed around the rooms and every other places in the house and I started my work.
