Yesterday, I found Cruise’s friend Dave in his office. He is a guy who said to me, “ Your boyfriend is going to chuck you” after I told him I was not going to attend a function we had organized at Imperial Royale Hotel last week. Remember, Cruise started a networking business in which he involved me and three others? Dave is one of them.
“Am I his girlfriend? Wow, I didn’t know we were in a relationship.”
“Well, from the way Cruise has been acting around you, I thought he was. Maybe I am just a guy who takes things too seriously. Maybe I was wrong.”
“Yeah, you must have imagined things,” I said.
Back to yesterday, I found Dave in Cruise’s office and greeted Cruise first and then him. As usual Cruise was calling me his sweetheart and asking for a hug but I ignored him and said to Dave, “Have you met Flo? Cruise introduced me to Flo yesterday and then told me she was his girlfriend.”
“That’s not true,” Cruise said.
“I am so disappointed. I thought the two of you would make such a good couple,” Dave said.
“It wouldn’t have worked,” I said to Dave.
“Why?”
“First of all, I am older than him among other things.”
“That’s a lie. Mbu among other things.”
I asked Cruise for something he had promised to give me and as I was leaving his office I said to Dave, “Flo is good. She doesn’t borrow things from Cruise.”
At around 10 a.m, Boss A took me and my colleagues at work to a guest house out of town for an evaluation exercise. We did not know where he was taking us but I prayed for strength to write the minutes without any problem. It turned out to be fun. We had nice breakfast and lunch. Thank God I was able to focus on the meeting without thinking about Cruise even though his name cropped up in the meeting since he is also our student.
