My thoughts were a bode on how life will be here in my hometown, I just sigh and took a deep breath, as try I shift my mind towards the conjectures of people about it. Life in Femo was quite different from the one here, Femo a great city of caliber of people who have high regards and who are well reputed and civilized tame themselves with zealousness of self-growth rather than envy towards another. Femo is a world of its own, "forgive me" I must say it is the truth so those my home here Leho but the difference goes beyond just urbanization and civilization but the heart of the men around.
"Leonard Fournette", I was so excited to see the face that called my name, it's my grand pa. "Hey, big man I've been here waiting for you since the early breakings of the morning and it felt like you would never show up", that's Mr Fournette Mitchell talking. I can't distinguish between he's joy and mine because it felt like a dream come through for me, after the 25 years of life far from home, I get to be home, don't judge me, it's complicated. Facing my grand pa, I jumped into his arm, and I said; "I'm so happy to be home which felt like forever in that plane, thought it was never going to land but I'm here now", my grand gave me a smile, and said, "common boy get into the car let's go".
The dinner time was such a blissful moments that felt so homely that after years of eating the foreign meals, I had to give my tongue the best taste of my own native meal, It was actually a whimsical dinner cause grand pa tries to crack some jokes and grand ma tend to talk about my dad as a kid and she demonstrate how he do act over things he's so desperate to own and things he don't want to do, she is such a drama queen, if she were to be in the holly wood she will be have been a star actress just like Lashana Lynch. I truly enjoyed my first dinner, and it was so sweet that I slept just like a baby.
Waking up that morning, with a knock from my grand pa, "open up boy" my grand pa's voices from the door. I gruntled down from the bed with sleep still lurking in between my eyes to open the door, as soon I turned the door's knuckle and open the door there stood grand pa with a brown file and with a tricking smile on his face, I knew that something is fishy but you know, I can't sense it, so I just have to reciprocate the smile even though it was just an envelope of my curiosity. "Boy", he called, " I really want you to go through these documents and as you do so, take your bath because you will be coming with me the office and wear the best outfit you know, as a handsome young man, you know...". He said this last line with a smirk and cutting an eye for me, I just stood there and sheepishly blushing like a groom on his wedding day, as he left shutting the door behind him, as I got hold of myself, I sighed while shaking my head, affirming my sheepish attitude.
It's a long, sweet ride to the office undoubtedly but feels awkward being driven by grand pa's driver and grand pa was seating at the back seat just like a king. It took about an hour for us to reach the office, getting to the company's gate, my jaws dropped by how gigantic the building looks and how beautiful the sight of it tend to be, just looks like one the best buildings in the western world I came from, it's truly obvious that rumors are just fabricated stories, "wow" couldn't hold back my bemusement about how the company's building looks. I was ushered by Mr. Fournette to the main entrance of the office, "damn, I think I can feel myself rapturous at the sight of what the inside of the company looks like", I said to Mr. Fournette, he only looks at me and he says," boy welcome to your new world'. I felt like screaming in excitement, but I feel my ego will be hurt if I do such, I just have to pull myself together, walk like I did own the company.
Walking behind Mr. Fournette, made me look like a client, I guessed because of the suit I'm wearing, it's fine designed Italian black suit and looking all polished, as Mr. Fournette walked into his office door, a young beautiful lady was sitting down at the first office which seems like a reception but too beautiful to be one, though I never get to look well at her because I'm still carried away by how furnished the office looks. "Good morning Mr. Fournette" the young lady greeted my granddad and as she turns to greet me, I guessed she doesn't know what to say, so I reached out my hand for a shake, which she hurriedly reciprocates with a smile. My heart warmed up by her smile, her smile is infectious, " my name is Riah" she said bringing me back from my mind journey, I never knew that we were still holding hands, " oh, sorry, mm, as I stuttered, my name is Leonard but you can call me Leo" I responded letting go of her hand, as I followed Mr. Fournette to his office. Mr. Fournette showed me how the company is being run and introduced me to the major officers who are working for him but there this particular man, he chatted with, the conversation was like they were more than just a staff and a boss but as friends who have known each other for ages. His office is almost just like Mr. Fournette's but just a little different from his. He introduced this man as Mr. Crawford, the man stretches his hand for a shake which he accompanied with a smile, " nice meeting you boy", he said taking my hands and shaking it violently like wanting to pull my arms out.
