Ripples E. 9

Continue from E.8]

A sharp rap on her window made her unlock the doors. Pushing the drivers door open she smiled up at someone, got out of the car and banged the door shut.

There is no way I am going to jail just because of a car bumper, Kene thought as he hastily tried to open his door. After some seconds of staring at the door in search of a handle he sat back confused. 

"How do I get out? Where is the handle bikonu?"

He looked at the drivers door and back at his side as he tried to figure out how to exit the car which was totally different from his old model or any model he had ever had the privilege of being inside.  

"Did she lock me inside?" He asked himself while a startled expression settled on his tired face; 

"I am trapped! She said I'm going nowhere so she trapped me in her car!  I'm finished!"

Dapo's POV

"Sir they have been in the car for almost forty-five minutes."

"What?" Dapo asked calmly. His eyes which had been fixated on his phone's screen while he flipped through several pictures of smiling women suddenly darted to the face of the bodyguard who was beside him at the back seat of the SUV.

"I'm sorry sir. The bad weather affected the network and ..."

"Next time I send you on an errand and it takes you a decade to get back to me, I will cut off your ears and feed them to you." He yelled and furiously punched the headrest of the passengers seat.

"I am sorry sir." The hulking bodyguard whispered with head bowed down. He tried not to squirm in his seat. The tension in the car instantly became tangible as Dapo cursed profusely.

"She's out sir." 

The driver suddenly announced and Dapo snapped out the murderous rage and kicked into action. He hastily stepped out of the car without waiting for his bodyguard to come around   and open the door.

Someone needs to straighten out this girl. If her parents won't do it, then nobody should blame me for spanking her for being disrespectful and lacking in manners. 

Dapo muttered to himself, totally ignoring that he was messing up his favorite beige leather shoes as he strode through the wet road. 

Nobody ignores me and to think she was with a man all the time! Hmmm Sade you asked for it!

His eyes took in the black Mercedes with its engine running by the road side and the familiar hefty driver behind the wheels before shifting to take in Sade talking to her sissy secretary whom he still found displeasing. 

They were beside her car, her latest acquisition. Despite his anger, Dapo stopped briefly to admire the car. He had to concede that Sade had impeccable taste when it came to cars. If only he could say same for her taste in men. Going by her classless  secretary and her stupid refusal of his advances, she was utterly clueless. But that was about to change.

As he approached them the secretary looked up and met his stoney gaze. Dapo watched him hawk like and enjoyed the fear he saw in the man's eyes when he shifted slightly, leaned into his woman and whispered in her ears.

 I will wring his tiny neck for that someday; he thought furiously as Sade turned around to face him with the usual blank expression he detests.

"See who left the comfort of his mansion today."

The blank expression on her face shifted and was replaced by undisguised disgust. Dapo fumed inwardly but grinned at her instead...
