I woke up one morning with my bed drenched in sweat . I wasn’t sure whether it was due to the fact that I’d be meeting someone whose confidence I admire or because I’d be pitching myself to her team . I’ve personally never believed in romanticizing public figures , they’re humans too aren’t they? Normally I ensure to spend as much time in getting ready as I could but today I decided to double down on my efforts . Despite being conscious about the time I wanted to spend , I still ended up using the same amount of time . I settled for a dress because I didn’t want to seem too professional and I didn’t want to portray myself in a way that I won’t subsequently. Imagine this ship sails and the version of me they met differs from who they will eventually get to work with . I believe one can only pretend for so long . Anyways , I put on the dress and these flat shoes I bought impromptu from a thrift store . The reason I always mention it’s from a thrift store is because store keeper gave me two different sizes of the same shoe so if you see me waddle funny that’s probably the reason . The meeting was set to take place at the coffee shop in the heart of Abuja , it’s funny I agreed because I don’t even take coffee. Mr Joseph was already downstairs waiting for me so I quickly entered the back seat opposite the driver . When I was little my dad told me that it’s madams that sit there and ever since it’s been where I always sit . “Are you ready to go ma ? “ “Yes , thank you.” The car rides are usually silent and today was not an exception . “ Thank you for dropping me . “”No problem ma , call me when you’re done .” I looked at the building of the coffee shop and she was already there. A part of me felt weird because I’m always very punctual . “ I’m really sorry for my tardiness, I lost track of time “ “That’s okay you can have a seat . “ “I want to make this as brief as possible, I’ve seen what you do and I’m very impressed I won’t lie and considering your demeanor I believe you’re the woman for job but I’d have you know that there is a catch that you will sign a non disclosure agreement. I won’t tell you what you’re going to be signing you just have to blindly trust me . Are you willing to trust me or should I give your spot to somebody else ?
