Chapter 7

one thing is for sure nothing happens for nothing in this world..out of the millions of cars that drive on this road every morning it's the car of the director where you're going to have the interview that knocks you over I say it's not for nothing,there will be a sequel.

Lydie does not agree with my father and lets him know.

no dad, there won't be a sequel it was a coincidence that she handled it badly if she had apologized maybe it would have worked in her favor but now it's the opposite. Who would like to have a badly brought up assistant.

And there I am shocked.

ehh I am not badly brought up.

I know it but this gentleman does not know it that's the impression you gave him. Sorry he will not be able to recruit you and you know it dad.

I continue to say that nothing happens for nothing in any case we will see.

They both annoy me now it has become a topic of discussion I prefer to go to bed….

I go to the bedroom.

My father is sorry for me, it shows on his face, oh too bad I learned the lesson soon I will try to control myself. My father follows me into the bedroom I am lying down and looking at the ceiling he knocks and comes in.

can I?.

yes dad.

He comes to sit next to me.

I know you're in pain but it doesn't matter you'll find another one.

I know dad but I wanted this one so much. .

sorry also to know that it's partly my fault if you're tense and nervous all the time, it makes me sad.

it's not your fault dad. Don't worry it'll be fine.

Okay I'll let you rest I'm going to bed too.

ok.

'' I'm Mr. Noah, I'm 58 years old, yes I'm a little young and I have big daughters. I gave birth very young at the time I had a little money, I already had a job and my parents also supported me so I didn't lack anything when I met their mother. Ah this woman I loved her so much I didn't hesitate to marry her 2 years after we met. Everything happened so quickly, I went from victory to victory, we were so happy, I earned more and I made them feel comfortable unfortunately a financial crisis forced us to reduce staff or I was fired because I was one of those who earned a lot. I thought afterwards that they were going to take me back but unfortunately the company finally collapsed the owners wrapped everything up, that's where my trigger began, I saw the true face of the woman who shared my life for many years. She opposed me working in small businesses saying that "it's not my level, it doesn't earn much, be patient you will find the place that deserves you" I had trusted her and I waited, again and again until she herself lost patience and left with the one who offered her big money. She left without shouting guard without saying goodbye to her daughters. How could a mother react like that. The first months I first thought she had problems but her sister confirmed to us that she lives with a white man I think that it was at this moment that I lost all confidence in myself, I lost my virility as a man, my honor, none had it not been for the presence of my daughters I think I would have hit rock bottom. Sometimes I wonder what I did to God to have two beautiful girls by my side, they are an unwavering support. I know that I am a burden to them, I see the many efforts they make for me and because of my health I cannot help them. It breaks my heart, it is rather me who should take care of her and not the other way around. Carla is our mother, I owe her a lot every day, I pray that she meets a man who will know how to value her who will hold her hand. She had to refuse marriage proposals only because she did not want to leave us alone, she never told me that but I know it, the last suitor was an important man who could support us but she refused I did not understand anything. She is getting old, she will have to get married, have children, I do not want her to put her life on hold for me, I have already lived and I can die now to let them live without having to take care of a sick person. My daughters are my whole life I love them so much.We have nothing left today but we have the love of a family. ''.

Mr. Christ Oxford is sitting in his large armchair behind his desk. Through the large window he observes the outside, the road traffic, the people passing by. His ideas are so far away that he does not follow his colleague entering. Bob goes towards him and pats him on the shoulder, he comes back to himself.

ah it's you.

are you dreaming or what.

Bob goes to sit down, while Christ turns his chair around to face him.

what is the news?.

Bob puts the shirt he has in his hand on the table.

with the HR department we proceeded to the counting and unanimously chose a candidate. First we would like to know if you have a penchant for one of them.

He leans back in his chair and crosses his feet.

what is your choice?.

Well we chose Miss Noah she has a lot of experience, she is versatile, having a degree in communication is an asset for us, plus she doesn't have children which means no constraints, I think she can do the job well what do you say?.

He smiles and takes a pen which he puts in his mouth.

it's what ?.

He smiles again and claps his hands his friend is confused.

I said something stupid or something what amuses you.

I'll tell you what happened this morning when I was coming. I was on my way normally driving when suddenly a girl appeared in front of me, I just had time to brake in time otherwise I would have hit her.

oulalala she didn't see where what.

of course she didn't look before crossing and when I rush to help her get up she sends me packing while insulting me. You can imagine I apologize even she allows herself to insult me when it's her who is at fault.

you ignore the badly brought up girls of Douala.

hahahaha and you don't know the best, hahahaha the world is really small.

tell me then.
