Being Human (4)

Elizabeth Kachi, a front desk officer at Horizon Group of Companies Ltd was everything but cool, calm and collected. She was always everywhere asides from her duty post - the front desk. No doubt, she was a very jovial person, had a good sense of humour and you could count on her to figure out the bright side of every situation, no matter how tensed the office got. Sometimes, Dolapo wondered how she got the job of the front desk officer; she was just all over the place. That attribute alone made Dolapo keep her distance from her, but hard as she tried, Lizzy forced herself to becoming friends with Dolapo. She pinged her everytime, to gossip about what the latest gist in the office was - even during working hours. Once in a while, she would come visiting Dolapo in her house; not by invitation, of course. Dolapo had tried to no avail to keep her distance but Lizzy wasn't the type to be put off by snobish attitudes . That was one good attribute she had. Dolapo had gotten a bi

Sometimes, he tried to figure out how Dolapo had been coping with the woman for 11months before he met her and how she still copes. He had not been a fan of the woman, ever since Dolapo told him about her 'excessive workaholic tendencies' and how she expects every member of staff to bury themselves into work like she does. Jay sometimes wished he could get Dolapo a job elsewhere but it seemed Dolapo herself was enjoying the stress that came with her job. "Jay, i'm so sorry... so so sorry. I had to finish up some urgent documentations, and boss won't let me go on lunch break without completing them..." Dolapo said, trying to catch her breath. She had flown
