GOD it's hot! I'm taking another shower, Adesewa told

her best friend Olukemi.

Are you not suppose to be in your shop by now, it's

past 2 already, you're here taking another shower

I'm really tired I had to finish a wedding dress last

night, I'm suppose to be resting not attending to any

clients today, that wedding dress was a rush and it

was so stressful, that reminds me I'm meeting up with

a client by 4 today I better rush, smart money woman,

Kemi muttered.

Look who's talking if your manager calls you for a

modelling job right now won't you go, Desewa giggled

Like you said right now cause right now this girl

needs money, you know money is never to much

but Desewa you need to relax this is the longest

conversation we are having in weeks and your studio

is the wrongest place to talk cause you never have my

time, I'm sorry you know it isn't my fault, I have to go

now I have a lot to do at the shop today, are you

sleeping over tonight? we can talk better, no I can't I

have a date with this guy I met two days ago but I

might come back here after the date, Kemi said

laughing, a date?

Kemi you need to be careful, there you go again I'm

not a baby I know how to take care of myself by the

way it's just a date, nothing more for now please go to

your shop and leave me alone, Kemi muttered, I've

heard you just be careful, she said heading out of the

room.

Stepping out of her house her phone rings, Mrs

Okunade, Is that how to greet to your mother?

Mom I'm on my way to work and I'm late can I call

you when I get there? you won't call me i know you

let's just talk now, okay mom what's it about?

I want us to have a family dinner on sunday which is

in two days time incase you don't know, i want you to

call your brother make sure he comes you know he

won't answer me if I call him he doesn't know more

than work, mom I'll call him don't worry, is that all?

I'm about to start the car, yes my dear just don't

forget to call your brother, alright mom, bye.

"Good afternoon ma, one of her apprentice greeted

her as she came in, good afternoon has the lady

come to pick her wedding dress, which wedding dress

ma? the one we finished last night, "oh" no she hasn't,

she just called the shop few minutes ago asking if we

could deliver it, did you tell her she's going to pay? yes

I sent our account number to her already, alright

that's good when she sends the money call the

delivery guy, alright ma.

She stepped into her office to relax a little before the

client she was expecting came in.

Blessing one of her apprentice came to knock on her

door "come in" you have a client, a man, attend to

him, he said he wants to see you, okay tell

him I'm coming by the way, what's the time, last time

I checked some minutes past 4, I'm expecting Mrs

Martins call her let me know what's up, alright ma.

What a fine male specimen, she muttered silently has

she stepped out of her office starring at him, good

evening sir what can i do for you, I'm Xavier, he said

stretching forth his hand for an handshake, Desewa,

she said has she shook him.

My mom asked me to drop this fabric she couldn't

make it, he said handing over the fabric to one of her

apprentice, hope she's okay? yes she is just a little

under the weather, oh alright I'll give her a call when

I'm free, I should be on my way you own this place?"

yes I do, why did you ask? nothing just curious it's

really nice though, thank you, my regards to your

mom, alright, he said leaving.

Blessing please get me my phone, here it is, she

collected her phone to dial Mrs Martins, good

evening ma, evening my dear, your son just left he

told me you're not feeling to well, I'm okay, I just need

a little rest, it's needed, Desewa said smiling, when do

you need the cloth, I have a party next weekend, what

about the style you want, I will send the style to you

on whatsapp, oh you picked a style already no

problem ma get well soon, thank you my dear, take

care ma, she said as she hung up.

I'm really tired I should go home now, by the way has

the lady goten her wedding dress, she asked Blessing

the driver just left few minutes ago, alone?, She asked,

yes ma since this is not the first time we're using him,

Blessing you should know better it's a wedding dress

we're talking about and you know how dramatic and

annoying this lady can be, if anything happens to that

dress you guys are paying for it, all four of you,

Blessing you know we deliver wedding dress

ourselves we don't send it out without following the

delivery guy you better call the guy and know what's

up, I don't want any story, do I have to tell you

everything, you all know the rules, do you know how

much that dress cost? a month salary for each of you

join together and more, we're sorry ma, Blessing said,

this is not about been sorry Blessing you should know

better, I really don't want to get angry today, I'm going

home you guys shouldn't close late, she said steping

into her office to get her bag, good night ma, good

night don't close late and call the delivery guy asap,

alright ma.

I need a break from all this people, I really need a

break! she murmured has she entered her car.

She picked her phone to call her sister Tolani,

Hey Tee, how are you? Sewa? I can't believe you called me I'm fine, how are you too? I'm good

Is everything okay? Everything is fine, I'm sorry I've been distant lately I've been really busy, I understand, if I didn't call why didn't you call too?

Everytime I call it's you don't pick and when you do you're always going to call back, did mom tell you about the dinner on sunday?

Yes she did and she asked me to call Simade, when was the last time you called him?

I can't remember but it's been a while, you should call him before sunday, I'll try.

I'll call you when I get home but If I don't I probably forgot, she laughed, okay later.
