Must Read: Memoirs Of Dying And Living

He was overjoyed to receive an invitation letter for an interview and on getting there.
He met many people also there for the same thing. He was ushered in immediately he arrived but instead of being taken to the hall where the rest candidates were examined.
He was taken upstairs to a posh waiting room and asked to wait briefly.

Then he was ushered into a large spacious office. On entering he greeted the lady who was sitted across a large office desk but she waved him to a sit without raising her head. She was busy signing some documents.

Chido sat down feeling uneasy and felt out of place till she raised her head and looked into his eyes.

Familiarity hit him like thunderbolt. He had seen that face before. Then just before she opened her mouth Chido said aloud “what! Bimbo Adeleye”.

Bimbo smiled at Chido, then she stood up, walked around her table and threw herself at his feet saying “I never thanked you for what you did for me back then.

You were like my guadian angel. Thank you.

I can never thank you enough for what you did”.

Chido stood up and pulled her to her feet but she refused to stand up. She held onto his feet, held it tight so he kissed on the lips. Their lips locked together in that kiss till Chido broke it and then lifted her on her feet.

Bimbo had tears in her eyes when she stood up. Chido smiled at her and said “am so glad you are alife. I feel so proud that u survived. Tell me how did u get out of that hostel”?

Bimbo just nodded but said “come let me take you to somewhere we can have our privacy so we can talk well. She lead Chido out of her office through a side door to the car park. Chido complained reminding her he was here for an interview but she waved his complaints off saying “the interview is just a formality.

You already have the job”. Chido asked surprised “but how come? I haven’t been examined”. Bimbo replied “I am in charge of recruiting and I believe one good turn deserves another. The job is yours if u want it”.

Bimbo drove them to a nice restaurant where they relaxed and ate while she narrated everything. She told Chido “I could never forget you. That tall handsome guy that pulled me out of hell. I knew if I met u again I would want to be the one to pay you back. Anything you wanted, I knew I would be happy to give even if you wanted me. I didn’t know your name but your face so you can imagine my shock when I was sorting through the pictures of candidates for IT and was confronted with your face. I almost fainted. I wrote you that invitation myself”.
