I Met Francis My Hubby On PalmChat (Part 1)

The morning rush hour was bad, very bad. I have been in
Lagos all my life and I have seen traffic gridlock but that misty July Wednesday morning was simply soul wrenching. Not to say being stuck in traffic
wasn’t my fault, you know what they say about giving excuses; especially if you
are a corporate staff of a time-conscious organisation and you happen to have an
appointment with the boss at 9:00 am of the same morning.

So, there I was stuck in traffic by 7:15am along Ikorodu
road heading to Victoria Island. “My gosh…

Gordon will kill me” I remember
blurting out those over 20 times that morning. Mr. Gordon Kirchowsky is the
Head of Operations of our multinational company with a branch in Victoria
Island Lagos, Nigeria-My boss and I am the Human Resource Manager who is to
make a power point presentation to Mr. G. Kirchowsky on the workforce
restructuring that we had only recently concluded at the organisation.

The
issues I was to present bordered on: Who was to do what…The experience,
qualification and training required and I had just 15mins of the 1hour 30
minutes of the morning session to do that.

In all this, I couldn’t help reminiscing in the mist of my
storm; “Francis is a perfect gentleman and yeah…it was high time I had a man in
my life”. I bet those thoughts were out loud and it all started with a blind
date on a mobile app (…did I say blind date, well yeah)….I will tell you, (lol)
dis gist plenty o.
