.
“What rubbish did you bring me in the name of the files I told you?”
He asked and they all stood up in confusion.
.
“What is wrong boss?”
Steve asked as he stated at the file their boss was holding.
.
“I told you to get me a damn file containing a contract of over 500 million naira and you came here bringing me a feasibility study of some petty cash recordings.”
He said tightening his hold on the glass 🍸 that he was holding.
.
The three couldn’t help but whistle involuntarily at the amount mentioned, as they stared in amazement at each other.
.
” You know what? You guys should just get the hell out of my sight and forget about the balance. I would look for more capable hands to do the job for me.”
He said pointing at the door.
.
And seriously that was the height of it, as Stanley lost his cool.
One thing about Stanley was that he wasn’t much of a talker, but can really be very stubborn and rebellious and a mutineer, when he felt his right is trampled upon, especially when he feels he is clear.
.
He turned sharply to their boss as his eyes shimmered red and veins bulging from his neck and forehead.
.
“What did I just hear you say Jaguar? That you won’t give us our balance? Based on what? You f-ckingly gave us a f-cking job to go get you a damn file in his damn house and we brought you what we saw in his room and we brought you what you requested for only for you to tell us it isn’t the right one. What’s our business their? You are the one who didn’t do your job right. To be frank with you, I don’t bloodily joke with my balance and if I don’t have my 250k wired here into my account, the action I would take might be too drastic and dramatic.”
Stanley said staring boldly into the domineering green eyes of Jaguar their boss, who stood surprised and lost for words.
.
Steve looked up and laughed angrily as he kept tapping his fingers in annoyance, at a side stool beside him.
.
” You see it? We take the risk of being killed and shot to death by the police, or being caught by the police, yet you sit here doing nothing.
Yet you use us and pay us only a 1.5 million naira, while you get 500 million naira plus all to yourself to do what God knows what. F-ck.”
Stanley said as he gasped in anger.
.
Frank only looked on as he was tongue tied, but the thick veins in his his neck showed that he was angry, as he gently grinded his teeth.
.
” We are not capable right? Then look for the capable hands to help you run your dirty games, im out of this shit, called a league.”
Stanley said as he made to walk out and suddenly their boss pulled out a gun 🔫.
.
“Stan step an inch and I would shoot you dead myself, before the police does their own quota.”
He said pointing the gun firmly at Stanley.
.
“Then watch me leave and bounce out. Shoot me if you got the balls.”
Stanley said as he majestically made to walk off while, he placed his hands on his pocket, as he wanted to take a rude exit.
.
He was almost at the door, when their boss corked the gun and made to pull the trigger, when Steve and Frank pulled out their own gun and pointed it at their boss.
.
“Try anything stupid and we burst your brain.”
Steve said looking at their boss coldly.
.
Stanley chuckled loudly as he watched their boss who was now in a dilemma and for once he saw that his ever bright snake eyes seem a bit dimmed.
.
He opened the door and walked out forever from the crime called Armed Robbery..
.
Steve and Frank left too, as they followed him at the back, as the three entered Frank’s car to Stanley’s house.
..
Their boss collapsed on his sofa as he really regretted his actions.
..
He knew that their rebellious act, started when he mentioned that amount, because of his angry state.
What was seven hundred thousand naira to losing his trusted and loyal boys.
.
He thought as he rolled on the sofa, and for once pushing his p*ssy cat from his shoulder.
.
.
Sandra was in her room cuddled up.
She had been like this for three days now and not eating anything, as her only companion was gone.
.
Sandra was the possessive type, who could go any length to safeguard and protect anything she felt was hers.
.
She had not really been the happy lady, all through her life, due to childhood depression and her easy to trust and impress lifestyle.
.
She was the only child of her parents. Though her mom was now late.
.
Her mother had died when, she was only nine years old.
.
Mrs. Dave was heavily pregnant then, she had slipped when she was climbing the staircase and landed with her stomach, and no one was nearby to help her out.
.
She had really bleeded way too heavily that, when her husband ran down, she was way too weak.
..
Before she could be taken to the hospital, she gave up the ghost.
.
That was where the reason for Sandra’s diary started.
