Chapter 323: Hocus Pocus with the NFF III

*11:14 am*

Jason and Adele were seated at a table in the restaurant of the hotel, ready to have their breakfast after their time in the gym earlier.

Adele was dressed back in her blouse and trousers while Jason was casually dressed in a white shirt paired with black trousers and was seated on the table across from her.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

Their phones were on the table and they had finally been turned on as the two of them waited for a call from the NFF.

While they waited their food arrived at the table.

Since they were in Nigeria, they were having a Nigerian breakfast which was bean pudding and pap, locally known as Moi-moi and Ogi.

Moi-moi/bean pudding was just as it name suggested, pudding made from beans, while ogi/pap was made from fermented corn that was ground finely and made into a paste.

Just as Jason and Adele were about to start eating, Adele’s phone on phone began vibrating, immediately calling the attention of the table’s occupants.

With a picture of calmness on her face, Adele put down her fork and picked up her phone, glanced at the screen but did not recognize the caller.

However, that did not stop her from picking up her ear pods, handing one to Jason as she put the other one to her ear, letting it automatically connect before swiping across the screen of her phone and answering the call.

“Hello,” Her voice was cold as she began speaking, earning her a thumbs up from Jason who was enjoying the whole fiasco more than he should.

“He could play for the USA because he’s a citizen and was born there, he could play for Norway because his maternal grandmother was Norwegian, he could play for Samoa because his maternal grandfather was Samoan, and there is also the potential chance of him playing for Portugal, yet he chose Nigeria in a list of options where you guys would be ranked third at best, and yet...” Adele paused to catch her breath, but Vivian on the other end almost couldn’t breathe in the dread of the next words to come despite not knowing what Adele was going to say.

“... After getting him to agree and fly over to Nigeria, the very night we arrived, in the middle of the night I might add... We were stranded in the airport because the driver you had claimed you would arrange decided to go for a night party instead of doing his job and picking us up at the airport,” Adele’s voice didn’t rise even the slightest as she spoke in a level tone from beginning to end.

{I’m so sorry, we had no idea about this} Vivian immediately turned apologetic and wanted to strangle the driver who was the culprit in all of this.

“That doesn’t make things better because it shows that either your recruitment officer is a half-wit who hires just about anybody available, not considering their qualifications for a job, or, my client is not respected enough by the Nigerian Football Federation enough for them to make sure that everything concerning my client is done impeccably,” Adele said, not willing to let the apology build any momentum.

{I’m so sorry about this} Vivian began apologizing again, but Adele wasn’t about to let her do that and immediately interrupted.

“I’m sorry as well, but that doesn’t change the fact that my client has been terribly disrespected and disappointed by the Nigerian Football Federation, and the Nigerian country as a whole, hence he will be reevaluating his options concerning which country to represent on the international stage...”

“... And this time, Nigeria isn’t on the list of options to be considered,” Adele stated clearly before hanging up directly and not allowing Vivian to get another word in.

From the conversation with Vivian, it was clear that there was a discrepancy in the flow of information and Vivian didn’t know about what had happened with the driver.

Either she didn’t know about it, or she had been told and was acting like she had no idea, but Adele doubted it, hence she had made sure to explain the whole situation to her and enlighten her about what was going on.

“Now, we wait...” Adele sighed as she took out her ear pod.

“And eat,” Jason added and picked up his fork.
