Stella woke up one morning to go for an interview. She took a cold bath and sipped coffee as she hopped into her pencil skirt and shirt since it's gonna be a casual interview.
She seeks a post of a freelancer for a big company. Her skills are the best and yes she has won few awards as one of the best writer,now this is an opportunity to bring her fully into the limelight.
She boarded a public bus going to that company.
In the bus, you know how public buses are na. You can meet someone that can be very annoying. You can meet someone that is friendly anyhow sha.
It depends on how the case may be
Now, Stella sat down at the edge of the door as an average man who was not well dressed entered the same bus as her and mistakenly stepped on her shoes , immediately the man apologized.
"Ohh good God, Mr Man..how dare you step on my shoe? How dare you? She raised her voice eyeing the man as if he is up to nothing.
"I'm sorry...I'm so sorry madam, It's not intentional...I". He tried to say when she cuts in
"Hold it right there, see I don't wanna hear any rubbish...the way you're even saying sorry is irritating me. You've ruined my day now... I'm going for a special interview and now you've ruined everything......
"I'm so sorry" . He said feeling remorseful.
"Shut that dirty trap of yours,your mouth stinks". She yelled
"Young woman, this man is old enough to be your father,why are you talking to him like that? Were you not taught at home". An elderly woman said
"I can see you're very very stupid. I can see you were not raised well by those animals who gave birth to you" .
PEOPLE IN THE BUS ; Arghhhhh...!
ME: See Gombe! That was so harsh na
"Ah...it's fine, but you need to calm down .... you're not the only one in the bus, and this man apologized after stepping on you ".
"It's none of your business...madam élénú pélébé". She retorted completing her statement in Yoruba language.
The woman had to shut up . The man was silent including everyone in the bus.
"Driver...stop this goddamn bus...I need to get down. This shit is pissing me off and yes... Old man, clean my shoe every spec of dust make sure it's not there". She said again.
PEOPLE IN THE BUS : Ahhhhh....oga ohh
ME : Shey this film go end bayii
"I'll clean it...I just hope you accept my apology". He said and took an handkerchief as he cleaned her shoe.
"Rubbish, if you know who I am you won't try any shit with me ". She said as she alighted from the bus .

Stella got to the company and was welcomed warmly. She saw some people who seeks job position like her too. She was told to queue and she patiently did.
She needs the job anyways.
Now,it was her turn. She entered the main office where there are judges to decide whether she would stay or not and met the greatest shock of her life .
"You are? A woman asked .
"I...I..." She stuttered. She became cold and hot at once . She started sweating under the air conditioned room .
"Young woman please answer with your name...there are many applicants waiting outside,we can't waste our time on you please". A man said .
"I...I am...my humm..." She stuttered again trying to pick the right words but words failed her .
"She's the woman I told you about". A man spoke up. He was dressed in one of the finest coat .
The grey hairs on his head was well combed . He had a bright smile like that of a baby when he sees breast milk. He sat in the middle of those judges and his chair was a bit higher than that of the judges and the gold plate in front of him states that he's the CEO.
"The woman who humiliated you in the bus? A man furrowed his eyebrows.
"The woman who yelled at you and said bad words at the person that defended you? A woman said
"Unbelievable! ". Another said.
"There's no work for you, what are you still doing here? Get lost". The woman shouted at her in annoyance.
"Please,this work is so important to me.. sir,I'm sorry sir". She knelt down immediately as tears rolled down from her cheeks.
"It's not everyone you look down on simply because you're right or intelligent. Nobody knows tomorrow,that person might be in the position to help you . I hope you change". The CEO said
"Now get out Miss or else the security men will throw you out". A woman said.
