TAMARA'S POV
It turns out to be one of my colleagues
Are you hiding? She asked me.
No, I replied.
You know those things are fake, you can ask the company for a footage to clear your name, She said.
It's ok, I have got it under control, I replied as we left the restroom. The company's interior is already vacated while the front gate is crowded like a market, so many people and passers-by have gathered with some people already shouting sack her! Fire her. I stepped out of the building and approached the gate drawing everyone's attention. The security guards were standing at the gate preventing no one from getting into the company. The iron gate was in bars so everyone outside could see me. They began to boo me as soon as they saw me, they were probably waiting for me to come out so that they could tear me apart. I stood within the gates with the security guards watching them until their noise died down a little. I want to say something, I said out loud to them and continued before they could start making noise again. I suggest that you all should check your IG for the latest update. What you saw is fake, someone is trying to smear me. Before I could finish, a chubby woman jumped out of the car that was parked at the corner and rushed to the gate shouting, you slut! You want to lie don't you? Come out here, let me teach you a lesson. I don't need to think twice to know who she is, I'm not lying, I said to her. You think I'm a fool? I have thoroughly investigated, you spent the night in the same hotel as him and your colleagues can bear witness of you seeing him this morning. She countered. I didn't deny any of that but they were taken out of context, check your IG please, I said to her. She was about to say something else when someone touched and said something to her and they both left going back into the car. The crowd also began to disperse and soon the road was cleared. When I saw so many workers coming out of the company I was surprised, they were actually hanging around to watch the drama. Unknown to me there was also someone in the presidential office watching the whole drama unfold. As we left the company some of my coworkers apologized for accusing me wrongly. Unknown to me there was also someone else watching the entire drama.
As soon as I got home I took out my phone and entered IG to check Sophie's update and of course, my gee never fails. Her first latest post was the circulated picture from the hotel where Mr Zulu was watching me leave and the original picture where there was no Mr Zulu at the window.
Her second latest update was the circulated video of me and Mr Zulu playing along with the original video. I did it that way so that people can be able to see the difference clearly. The original video was very natural, audible and clear while the other video looks more like a cartoon and keeps getting muted and Unmute. Sophie made a caption on it saying, learn to identify Ai. comments were flowing in
@ "Ai Does more harm than good"
@ "Ai abuse"
@ "I knew Mr Zulu can never be up to something good when it comes to girls"
@ "Why did he make the last statement, it's still very suspicious"
@ "He obviously made the last statement for a reason"
I called Sophie to appreciate her and we talked for a long time before ending the call.
The next morning I was woken by a ringing tone, I answered the call and Sophie's cheerful voice came in. Tamara, check my update immediately, Liam sent something to me. Your papa Bear is at it once again. She was shouting so much that I was forced out of my drowsiness. I opened IG to check her update only to see a video of Mr Zulu. He was in a hotel room only dressed in his undies and there was a girl sitting on the floor beside the bed hiding her face. He began to talk
Hello everyone my name is Mr Zulu, president of Sanchez company. I'm here today to tender a sincere apology to Miss Hayes for all the inconveniences I have caused her in the past few days. It is all my fault and doing. The first time I saw her was at the hotel, she was leaving early in the morning, she wasn't with anyone, I admired her but wasn't able to approach her so I only took a picture of her. The second time was at a business meeting where she came with her boss. I was very happy to see her again but couldn't create a connection between us because she wasn't interested. I decided to do something that will push her to me, to lose her job if possible then I can show up to help her. Miss Hayes please I'm sorry for all the inconveniences.
The video ended and I clicked on the comments
@: what the hell! Are pretty girls no longer safe in this society?
@ "Creepy"
@ #justicefortamara
@ "Call the police immediately"
@: sorry isn't enough #justicefortamara
@: Fear Tamara, she's got a backer but what if she has got no one? Many girls have been victimized.
@: how is the wife still tolerating him and embarrassing herself.
I logged out and dialed Liam's number, soon he picked up. Hello, he answered. Liam, did you make him do that video? I asked.
Yeah, he replied. He would have come back for you. He wasn't planning to leave you alone so I had to teach him a little lesson
