The moment I met you (Chapter 6)

 By Nightengale Ben-Onyeukwu

'The boss fired her, she was caught stealing from him,'Chisom pouted.

Chioma knew Vivian was a thief. Once when Chioma was going to meet Chisom at the kitchen to give her her  ringing phone, She saw Vivian searching through Emeka's bag like she was afraid of being caught. Chioma had wondered what she was doing with Emeka's stuff instead of serving the customers that were flooding into the restaurant.           

Moreover, Chioma seemed to know Vivian's family very well and had heard about someone complaining how her mobile phone was missing. She had waved it aside, thinking it was a neighbour who was trying to smear Vivian's name.                                                                                                        

Of course, Chioma didn't confront her about searching through Emeka's stuff because after all, she wasn't a staff and Vivian might have been asked by Emeka to get something for hm.                                                  

'I never thought someone as pretty as Vivian could be a thief', Chisom frowned at such thought. ' I used to be jealous of her lond legs, slender body and even her pretty eyes...'                                                               

'Go and serve your customers', Chioma quickly ended the conversation.                                                                                                               

Chisom turned to leave, but glanced at Chioma and asked, 'About working here?'                                                                                                         

'Why not', Chioma said between bites. 'I'm in... If your boss will accept me', she shrugged, then added with a smile, ' But that will be after I try my luck tomorrow in another company.'                                               

'I see how much you want an office job. Suit yourself,' Chioma grinned, turning away. She walked over to the couple that had just arrived. They couple had looked for a small table by the window and sat down.               

'May I take your order?' Chisom said politely with a sweet smile...
