Wow, we have a request for food, snacks and drink delivery on our Facebook business page" Chelsea informed Lucy.
" That's wonderful, from whom" Lucy asked.
" From a company named " D&L Business Investment Company" Chelsea replied.
" That would mean big pay and generous tip !" Lucy exclaimed
" No, don't say that" Chelsea says to Lucy" We are going to charge them, the way we charge our other customers, that request for delivery to them, except this time around we are delivering it to their office" She added.
" Okay, if you say so" Lucy said," If not I would have said you should charge them a little extra" She advice Chelsea.
" No I will not. Not everything is all about money" Chelsea replied, " Don't you want them to patronize us again?" She asked Lucy.
" Yes, I do " Lucy replied, " That's really another thing" She agreed with her boss turned friend.
" Then let's do it my way" Chelsea said, " Okay?" She asked.
" Okay " Lucy replied.
" When I woke up this morning, I just knew ; that today is going to be great. One of the best Monday morning of our lives" Chelsea said happily.
" Yeah right. Why wouldn't your Monday be so great?, after all you don't have no exam or should I say exams to write and a lot of books to read and understand" Lucy said unhappily.
" Don't worry, just work hard. Your time will come" Chelsea said as she gave Lucy a pat on her back.
" I know, I just want to be free like sister Kevwe and you. No exams, no books to read anymore. To just be my own boss and even after writing this exam and getting admission, it would be reading and reading until I graduate. Wish I can just fast forward to my graduation" Lucy moans, '"Do you by any chance have such remote or a perhaps a magic wand" She asks playfully
" No kiddo, no such remote or magic wand exist . You just need resilience , drive and hard work for that. I understand you, I and Kevwe was ones there and we pushed hard to be here right now and you do too" Chelsea told Lucy.
" That's true. This is why you are my best big sister" Lucy says she hugs Chelsea.
" Oh, I'm so happy. No one has said that to me before" Chelsea said happily.
" But don't let Kevwe hear I said something like that" Lucy warns.
" Don't worry this would be our little secret" Chelsea agreed.
" But she is still number one" Lucy told Chelsea.
" Yes I know. I can even compete" Chelsea replied, " Okay Lu, I'm off to package the delivery, before I become late" She informs Lucy.
" Okay" Lucy replied.
2 minutes later, after Chelsea has packaged the food items and drinks;
" I'm off to deliver them" She told Lucy.
" Why are you going?, Where is Chike ?" Lucy asked in surprise.
" He has gone for another delivery" Chelsea replied.
" Okay, bye" said Lucy.
" Okay, see you later Ku" Chelsea told her as she went outside the shop.
" You too, Chels" replied Lucy.
Chelsea took a tricycle to the delivery destination and walked into the building towards the receptionist on the first floor.
" Good morning" She greeted the young lady at the receptionist desk.
" Good morning, Ma" The receptionist answered.
" Please, I'm here to make a delivery" Chelsea informs her
" Where or whom May I ask are you to make the delivery to?" The receptionist asked.
" D&L Business investment company" Chelsea answered her.
" It is on the second floor, just follow the stairs by your right" She informs Chelsea.
" Thank you" Chelsea said and went to take the stairs.
On getting to the second floor, she walked up to the receptionist on that floor.
" Delivery for D&L Business investment" She said to the receptionist, whose name tag says Miss. Laura.
" Oh, that's us" The receptionist replied.
" Good morning, I'm from CSBC services, that' short for " Chelsea's Delicacies, Skill acquisition, Baking and Catering services". And this is your order" Chelsea said, handling the ordered food and drinks to the young lady.
" Laura is the food and drinks I ordered here yet?" A voice said from behind Chelsea.
" Yes sir, it just got here" The receptionist replied.
" Good morning sir" Chelsea greeted as she turned around, and was met by the sight of Dennis in front of her, " Oh " She whispered.
" Hi, Good morning" Dennis replied, pretending not to know her, " Thanks for the delivery" He added.
" You are welcome" She replied, taking his quiet from his behavior and played along, " Thanks for your patronage, we hope to render our service to you next time. This is our business card and flyer, call us if you need more of our products and delivery" Chelsea said handling her card and business card to the receptionist awkwardly, as she took her live in heist.
" What happened?, Why is she in such a hurry?" The receptionist murmured to herself.
" Excuse me" Dennis told the receptionist and ran after Chelsea.
" Chelsea, Chelsea " He shouted," Please, wait up " He said.
Almost getting to the first floor, Chelsea felt a hand holding hers
" Chelsea" Dennis calls out her name as she stood still.
" Don't touch me!" Chelsea warns him as she drew her hands away from his.
" Calm down, I just want to talk" He told her
" Did you plan this?" She asked , " I thought you wanted to talk?, so talk" She told him, seeing as he kept quiet and didn't answer a question.
" Okay, I kind of did" He replied to her question.
" You did or you didn't?" She asked, " Be specific, there is nothing like, you kind of did, either you did or you didn't" She added
" Okay, I did. I went to your Facebook business page , to place an order, since you didn't accept my friend request on Facebook or even the text I sent you on WhatsApp. Not that your snacks and foods are not great, I just wanted to see you and apologize about what happened on Saturday" Dennis admitted.
" So you are now stalking me, not only offline but online, but on my social media handles . And for your information nothing happened on Saturday for you to apologize for" She said to him.
" Come on, I'm not stalking you. I am not a stalker" He said angrily, " Do I look like a stalker to you?" He asked her.
" I am starting to believe you do" She replied.
" Come on, I'm not. I'm just in love, or is loving you now a crime, if so it is a crime I don't mind Committing" He told her.
" Love my foot and stop with your cheesy lines, because it wouldn't work this time" She said with a scuff
" Please don't commonize my feelings for you, just give me a chance" He pleaded, " Please" He begged.
" Let me think about it" Chelsea said after a while, " Because I'm beginning to fear you" She replied.
" Please don't fear me. I want you to love me" He pleaded.
" Okay, I will give you a call, if I change my mind later today" She told him, seeing as he wouldn't stop till she agreed.
" Thank you" He promised her.
" No need to thank me, I haven't agreed yet and if I do I really hope I wouldn't regret it" She told hum
" It doesn't matter. I promise you would never regret it" Dennis said," When you get to know me, it would be hard for you not to love me" He added.
" Oh, you are so full of yourself. Don't let me change my mind" She warned him playfully, with a smile.
" You see, you are smiling. I didn't know you could smile like this" He joked.
" Watch it, you are pushing your luck" She said to him.
" Come on, I am only joking" He told her.
" I know, you do that a lot. It is okay and I guess fun" She said to him.
" Wow, did I just get a compliment from you?" He asked Her.
" If you think so" She said.
" I will take it as a compliment anyway" He told her.
" Okay, I have to run along now, bye." She sa.id.
" Bye, see you later" He replied.
" If you are lucky" She said as she winks and walked away.
Dennis stood in shock," I didn't know she could do that" He said referring to the wink," And be so playful" He whispered to himself and watched her, till she was out of sight and he walked back to his office with a spring in his step.
