Chapter 13 - The schemer

Sonia finally made up her mind to call. when she called, it rang severally but the person at end of the receiver did not pick. she continued calling but to no avail. it continued for two weeks but no response from the receiver side. Sonia decided there and then to visit Emmanuel because his office address is written on the card he gave her.

Emmanuel saw Sonia calls but refused to pick because he was still angry with her. " excuse me sir, someone is here to see you by the name Sonia". Emmanuel secretary told him. " I don't know any Sonia as you can see am a very busy person you may go" responded Emmanuel Sarcastically " OK sir". The secretary excused herself and went back to the reception area where she met Sonia waiting " sorry MA my boss said he doesn't know you". "what!!!! is that what he said " asked Sonia looking surprised " yes ma". "Go back and tell him that I insist on seeing him" " sorry MA my boss is in a meeting and wouldn't want to be disturbed ". " I will wait for him here" "no ma is not allowed you can wait for him outside the office building ". Sonia angrily left the office back to her office because it was during lunch she went to visit Emmanuel hoping that he wouldn't be busy.

Sonia couldn't contain the anger she was feeling for being humiliated by Emmanuel. As soon as she got to her office she decided to distract or reduce her anger by working but she ended up messing her work up. Her friend Sandra came to check up on her and saw the mood she was in. " Soni baby what's with the face" "nothing " replied Sonia " you can't say is nothing your mood isn't good at all " Sonia burst into tears " tell me what is going on" Sandra feeling concerned for her friend asked " you can't believe what I have been through these past weeks ". She decided to tell friend everything that has happened. "but why did you decide to play such games with Emmanuel " Sandra asked her " I wanted to confirm his feelings for me". " but that is so childish you shouldn't have done that, ok give me his no so I can call him on your behalf ". " thanks very much this is the number". She gave the complimentary card to Sandra so she could take the number.

As soon as Sandra left Sonia office she began to scheme of how to get Emmanuel to fall for her. She thought of paying him a visit but later decided against that. She finally optioned to call him up........ " hello is this Mr Emmanuel ".
