PROLOGUE
Chief James Douglas a billionaire and a business tycoon was seated in his spacious sitting room with the members of his family. His wife Bianca and their last daughter Tinuke a twenty-two year old damsel sat on the couch.
From the look of things it seems like they have a function to attend because Mrs Douglas was checking the time every minute.
"Mum, whats keeping us waiting?" Tinuke asked as she seemed to have run out of patience.
"Your brother needs to lead the way. No one knows the way to his wife's house. And remember its his introduction, we all have to move together." Bianca explained.
Just then the door into the sitting room opened and Raymond walked in dressed in a white native atttire sewn to perfection by the best designer in the country followed by his younger cousin, Dayo who just finished from the university.
At once they all stood up and Dayo gave a short prayer as they all filed out of the house into three waiting cars. A limousine which is expected to carry Raymond and Dayo while a wine coloured space bus is expected to carry Chief Douglas, his wife and Tinuke. The last vehicle in the convoy is a newly purchased Nissan Amanda who has no occupant in it except the driver.
The Amanda led the way followed by the limo and lastly the space bus.
"Hello David. Meet us at the round about." Chief Douglas said to his brother over the phone.
His younger brother, Chief David another business tycoon is expected to join the groom's family train with his convoy as they all march toward's the bride's family house.
*****THIRTY MINUTES LATER*****
The introduction ceremony had progressed over time as the grooms family had paid some traditional neccesities. Even though the bride came from a low class family, she was howerver accepted into the family. The Douglas, arguably the richest business man in the country. His son, Douglas is the yongest billionaire in th country as he is the one in charge of his father's chains of business both in the country and abroad.
Despite the fact that Bianca was against the union, her husband talked her out of choosing a partner for their son.
The MC anchoring the even called out the bride for the first time and Tina walked out looking beautiful and in a simillar attire to that of Raymond.
"No way. My nephew can't get married to this lady before me." David shouted at the top of his voice as Tina knelt down before her fathers-in-law. Therefore bringing the proceedings to a halt and shock was written on everybody's face while guilt was claerly written in capital letters on Tina's face.

CHAPTER 1
Tina a young lady of about twenty five walked towards the gigantic headquater of The Douglas group of companies. A very big company if not the largest in the country. T.D.G.C has a chain of business including a shoe making factory, a construction firm, a car assembling point, an oil company which is the second largest to Shells. The chairman of the Douglas group of companies, Chief James Douglas is an half caste who started his business shortly after the civil war in Nigeria, he made his name during the millitary government and got his money when he was the vice president to a former millitary president.
Even though he is based in Belgium, his first son Raymond has been managing the business for the past three years since his return from the United States of America where he studied business Administration and made his mark as the best graduating student at the John Hopkins university.
Tina walked towards the very big gate which when opened completely could take five cars at a time.
"Good morning sir." She greeted one of the security men on duty.
"Morning ma'am. How may I help you?" He asked smiling.
She smiled back and walked into the compound. Another of the security men searched her including her bag.
"I guess the interview is in progress already. But take a walk down there, the first turning by the left leads to the elevator." Another of the security men directed.
"Thank You Sirs." She said appreciatively before walking according to the direction given.
This is the first company she'll be applying to. All other vacancy options are always backed up with a number of years working experience, even for a fresh graduate. That has been a major turn off but seeing this vacancy on a website known as jobberman without any stipulated years of experience, it seems promising and coupled with her sleepless nights of praying she knew God will be there before her. But her major concern was the aptitude test. Its over a year she opened her books last. Only time will tell. She concluded as she punched in some keys as the elevator made a rumbling sounds indicating its movement to the top.
She got into a big spacious reception where two ladies probably in their mid twenties are seated behind two desks on which a desktop computer stood beside some paper files.
"Good morning." Tina greeted.
"Good morning how may I help you?" One of the receptionists replied.
"Am here for the interview." She replied.
"Oh! You're welcome. Take a sit there." the same receptionist said.
She walked towards a long reception chair where about ten people were seated already, six men and four ladies.
"Good morning." She greeted before taking a seat beside them.
"Good morning." They said in unison.
A few seconds later, one of the receptionist who has been silent since she arrived walked up to her with a tray on which a bottle of malt lies with a glass cup coupled with a small piece of paper on which a map is structured on it. Which is a direction to various departments and floors in the building.
"Thanks." She said.
"You're welcome ma'am. My name is Judith." The receptionist introduced herself.
"And I am Maryam." The other receptionist siad smiling.
Tina smiled and nodded her head as she prayed within herself that she get an opportunity to work with this wonderful people.
Shortly afterwards, she was called to submitt her curriculum vitae which was copied into the computer system.
--to be continued--

You'd have to make that decision

--continuation--
Few minutes later the other applicants walked into another door from the reception one after the other. Tina sat down praying within herself that she gets the job as she is the breadwinner of her small family, her ageing mother and two younger ones who are both in the university.
Then it was her turn. She stood up and adjusted her Navy blue suit over a knee-length skirt and a white inner shir. She stood up and marched in the way others had done. He open top shoe making sounds as it kisses the ground.
"Oh Lord please be with me." She said as she checked the map that was given to her to see the next line of action. She ascended the stairs and got into another reception on the third floor. Without much ado, she greeted the receptionists and stated her mission.
"You are here for the interview right?" One of the ladies asked.
"Yes ma." Tina replied.
The receptionist collected the first map that was given to her and handed her another one which shows every department on the third floor.
"Goodluck ma. My name is Rose." She said.
"Amen. I am Tina." She replied smiling.
Tina walked towards the door and greeted the second receptionist who only waved her hand.
She got into the next hall and began to search for the personnel recruiting department which according to the map is in the laft wing. She entered into the department hall and met about ten workers busy with their systems. She didn't bother to greet them, she pushed her way through until she got to a door with the inscription. 'INTERVIEW COMMITTEE."
She pushed the door open after knocking for a few seconds and was asked to come in. She walked in to meet seven prying eyes staring at her. She didn't allow that to disturb her, she walked into the hall properly.
"Good morning Sirs and Mas." she greeted the committee members numbering up to seven. They all looked comfortable and well to do. They are all in either their late fifties of mid fifties.
"Young lady. How may we help you?" A woman who has a low cut asked. She seems to be in her late fifties.
"Am here for the interview." Tina replied.
"Interview? In a committee cnference room? You are in a wrong room." Another man in his early fifties said.
"But according to the mad I was given, the committe room was marked as my next destination." She argued.
"You have to retrace your steps. Why don't you follow the other applicants?" The low cut woman asked.
"None of us knew the way around here. And I was directed by the receptionist to come here. I know she can't mislead me." Tina replied sternly.
Then the head of the interview panel picked up his intercom and punched in some numbers.
"She passed." He said to whoever was on the line with him.
"Congratulations. Go into the next hall. You'll be told what to do." The head of the panel said to her.
She walked out of the room wondering what the man meant by the words 'she passed.' She kept her calm hoping that her curiousity would be solved when she gets to the next room.
--to be continued--

--continuation--
An hour later, Tina walked back into the reception on the third floor where she met Rose, the receptionist.
She greeted the both of them and sat down on the chair she had sat when she got there an hour ago. She was given a magazine that tells the story of The Douglas Group of Company in particular the branch of the company that was located on the first three floors, THE CONSTRUCTION FIRM.
She was flipping through the pages of the magazine marvelled at the success the company has recorded so far both internally and internationally. She was sipping a 1litre pack of an orange juice. Just then her phone beeped and bringing it out of her bag she discovered that she just got a mail message. She opened her mail account and saw the message headline from T.D.G.C, she expanded the massage and it reads;
"Congratulations Miss Tina Roberts, you have succesfully been appointed as the Assistant Valuation manager on every contract of the company.
See the general accountant for more details."
she read to herself. She felt the urge to jump up seven times and roll on the ground to show her happiness but she composed herself and smiled. Immeadiately she started thinking of how she'll spend her first salary. Something she is yet to discuss with the accountant.
"Congratulations ma'am." Rose said.
"Thank You." She replied hiding her suprise at how she knew about her appointment.
"My name is Hadiza and you are Tina right?." The other receptionist said from her desk.
"Yes." She replied as she thanked her stars at getting an appointment to work here. She can't wait to start working.
She started conversing with the two receptionists who were chatting with her without stopping their works. They didn't take their eyes off the computer screen as they answered her questions with intelligence.
Just then the intercom rang.
Hadiza who seems to be Rose's superior picked up the call.
"Hello sir." she said immediately she picked the call.
"She's here with us." She replied the caller's question.
"Okay sir." she replied and dropped the reciever.
She raised her head up and smiled.
"The accountant asked to see you." Hadiza said and contiued whatever she was doing on her computer system.
_______________
A few minutes later Tina was in the accountant general's office. They discussed issues pertaining to her appointment including the payroll on which she'll be placed and was told to resume the following monday leaving her with a week to make preparations.
Her office was later shown to her including some important department on the floor. She met some of the staffs she'll be working with and they recieved her warmly. She was asked to wait for the CEO but after waiting for about an hour without the CEO showing up, she left with the aim of meeting the man she has always seen give speeches at function on the tv.

...Nice

--continuation--
On the day of her resumption Tina woke up very early even though she couldn't sleep throughout the night. The excitement kept making her toss on the bed.
She woke up and said her prayers before dashing into the bathroom which she shared with other tennants, she took her bath and ten minutes later she was rubbing herself with her body cream. She got dressed and sprayed a considerable amount of perfume on her body, she packed her hair to the back perfectly bringing out her beauty. Even though she had a light makeup she still looked stunning.
She stood at the bus/stop waiting for a taxi to convey her to work dressed in a black suit and skirt and a sky blue shirt coupled with her matching open top shoe.
Three minutes later she was on her way to her place of work, the cab driver was taking his time in manuovering bends and turns while he respected and waited at every showing of red on the traffic light and he moved when the light turns green. Tina looked tensed and anxious, she almost complained to the driver to ignore the traffice light but she dare not even though she has complained about the driver's slow pace five times in the last ten minutes.
"Madam take it easy na. The time is just 7:05am and no one will complain because of your lateness unless if he didn't look at you face." The driver said smiling.
"And what's on my face?" Tina asked keeping a straight face.
"You are just too pretty. No one gets angry with a fine face." the driver said laughing and other passengers joined him.
Tina blushed and she kept quiet noy knowing what to say.
"You should say that to your wife." Tina replied him.
"I will marry you and I'll carry you in my car everyday for free." The driver said laughing as he pulled up in front of The Douglas group of companies.
Tina alighted and paid her transport fare, the cab man took it from her and gave her her change.
"I wonder how many wife you'll marry if you are the richest man in town." Tina said and hurriedly walked accross the grass lawns which led to the small gate.
She looked back to see the cab driver backing out and turning unto the street. She smiled to herself.
"Madam, good morning." A security man greeted.
"Good morning sir." She replied.
"You came earlier today." he said.
"Yes. You know its my first time and first impression they say...." She said and paused for him to complete it.
"Last longer my sister." The security man completed the adage as he opened the gate properly for her to walk in.
She greeted the other security men on duty as they all bowed for her curtly.
"Enjoy the rest of you day Mr Hassan." Tina said as she walked away.
"And you too ma but you'll tell me how you got to know my name." Hassan said as he proceeded to open the big gate for the car honking outside.
Tina walked on and turned back.
"Check the name tag on your chest." Tina said as she disappeared behind the fleet of car in the parking lot.

Lets go there

--continuation--
Tina got to the top floor where her office was located. She got to the front door, her secretary, Lola was already on seat working on her computer.
She raised her head up immediately she saw Tina walk in.
"Good morning ma." She greeted.
"Good morning Lola." Tina replied smiling.
Lola handed a key to Tina as she walked towards her door which has a tag on it Assistant Valuation manager. She unlocked the door and walked into what she called paradise on earth. Her office was designed to taste, not too big just the normal size. A big mahogany table stood in front of a cushion studded chair and two chairs stood before the table. A laptop stood atop the table and some paper files were neatly arranged on her table beside the intercom.
"Thank You Jesus." she said to herself as she dropped her handbag and sat down to begin the day's work after saying a quick prayer.
She worked for the next three hours non-stop reviewing some contracts that are halfway completed by the contract team before she came. She made some changes and forwarded the corrected figures to the Contract Valuation manager. She kept on recieving calls from the workers in the construction firm all of them congratulating her on her appointment.
"I can't wait to meet you during lunch break." They all said before ending the call.
11:50am: Lunch break
The lunch break is scheduled for 12noon but 11:50am is when everyone is expected to round up things and tidy their tables before heading for the restaurant on the ground floor.
There was a knock on her door. Lola walked in a few seconds later.
"I want to ask if you'll be going for lunch downstairs or you want you food in here?" Lola asked.
Tina thought for a while before she replied.
"I'll like to have it downstairs." She repled.
"Okay. Lets go together." Lola said.
Tina stood up picked up her phone and headed for the company's canteen with her secretary.
------------------------
Everything about the canteen showed class. The setting of the tables, the counter, even the dishes were world class and except you walk out of the big canteen you won't believe you are still in Nigeria.
Tina got downstairs and sat down on a chair among the four chairs that rounded the table. Everyone in the hall was staring at her and this made her uncomfortable. She sat down and buried her head into her phone. She could hear Lola exchanging greetings with everybody in the room.
Just then Mr Clement a thirty year old Contract Valuation Manager walked into the canteen and everybody hailed him. He waved at them all as he proceeded to Tina's table.
"Any problem?" he asked.
"None sir." Tina replied.
Clement sat down without being invited.
"You don't have all the day. Call for something now or you end up wasting your time without eating a thing." Clement said as he stood up and stretched his hand forth.
She took his hand in hers and stood up as they headed for the counter.
As they approached the counter where about five workers dressed in uniform were taking orders and serving the foods she was stopped by a lady who introduced herself as Amaka and every other person in the canteen followed suit introducing themselves to her and wishing her a nice time.
By the time the luch hour ended she discovered that she was still hungry but she exited the canteen like a fufilled woman.
On getting to her office she went to the small refrigerator which stood at the far end of the office. She took two sausage rolls and a bottle of Coke as she sat down and unwrapped the snacks.
