- “Bisola its just a Sales Girl. I don’t even know why you are dressing to kill, it’s not like you are going out to met your Boyfriend parent.” Tolani said finally after laughing to her heart content.
- Bisola feel frustrated. “Its my first day in my first work, I am nervous and I don’t want to leave a bad impression on the first day.“ Bisola sits down beside her friend. “You know how long I am jobless and living off you, I am just too nervous and confuse on what cloth to wear. I don’t want to be disqualified because of my dressing.”
- Tolani puts her arm around her friend neck. “For crying out loud Bisola, you have the job already, just be neat and official enough, be your best not stretch your limit.”
- Bisola and Tolani look at one another once again. Deep down in her heart, Bisola is grateful to have Tolani as her friend.
- “I don’t even know what will have become of me if I don’t have you.” Bisola said and make an appreciative expression.
- “Keep making that face, and I might be tempted to marry you by myself.” Tolani said jokingly. “You are just too beautiful.” Tolani said finally.
- Bisola burst to laughter. Tolani check her wristwatch and she pick up her bag, quickly she leave the house behind. Bisola understands better than ask, she also takes off the black skirt, she rummage through her wardrobe again, she finds a Ash coloured Polo shirt and a blue Levi jeans, and she put them on, she also comb her long hairs back and put it into a bond, then she check out herself all over again and feel satisfied.
- Finally she look around for another seconds, she take her lip gloss and apply it on her lips, she also apply a little powder on her face, then she apply mascara on her eyelids. Few minute later, she check herself out using the standing mirror.
- “Good. Now I look perfect.” She said to herself.
- Bisola close her two eyes for a few seconds, then she open her eyes once again, quickly she rush out of the house, she close the door behind her, and head to the main road to find a Taxi, luckily she get one just in time, she tells the Taxi driver her destination, the Taxi driver nod his head, Bisola enters into the Taxi, and it drive away.

Bisola can only groan, she lower her head and apologize.
