I left the following morning for my PPA. IJ had
already resumed before me. She told me over the
phone that she packed in as the landlord had fixed
everything before she came back. The only thing
she did was to paint the room and fix other cabinet
stuffs. I called her when I got to the house and she
came from the school which wasn’t far to open the
gate for me.

I kept my bags in her room and collected the
number of her painter and called him. When he
came, he charged 10k for the paint and
workmanship to which I gave him the money.

When
I settled with the painter, I left with IJ to our PPA.
IJ was posted to the Bursary department, while I
got posted to another department (intentional
omission of name). I picked my posting letter from
the Admin section and headed to the department.

“Good morning” I greeted the beautiful lady seated
behind a desktop computer typing away. It wasn’t
hard for her identifying me because I still had my
corper’s attire on.

followed her with my gaze as she walked to the
machine. She had an endowment that complimented
her size. She is above average in height, fair and

and entered an office which had a bold inscription
of ‘DIRECTOR OF ***********’ with the original copy.

We were still discussing when a woman who should
be in her early fifties entered unannounced. The girl
stood up immediately and greeted the woman. I did

with a smile and headed into her office paying no
special attention to us as the young lady followed
her with her bag.
