Even if I have to borrow just to appear convincing to them then I’m ready to do that.

I left the shop with a promise to return back.

I will wait for my next paycheck before returning back.

Jojo came around to see me. She was wearing her ring.

I almost told her about my plan to get an engagement ring because of the pressure of my people and how Melinda was already planning towards her wedding and asked me to show off my ring to her, just to prove that I wasn’t lying.

I wanted to tell Jojo what I was passing through in getting the ring just to engage myself so that I can prove a point to my people but the price of the ring is scary, I have to wait for my next paycheck.

I opened my mouth to spill out my trouble but I suddenly stopped when I saw that Jojo came with her own bigger worries.

“Since you want me to stop coming to your office, why not give me Ohio’s phone number or any other means to reach him. I’m having sleepless nights because of him. If you are truly my friend, you will not be a hindrance to my joy. Becca, stop being selfish… prove to me that you are my true friend by hooking me up with my dream man…

I chuckled at first. Jojo was acting as if she was going to drop dead because of Ohio.

” I don’t know how to help you, Jojo, but I will try. I’m not promising anything but to prove that I’m not a bad friend as you are beginning to see me. When I saw you wearing your engagement ring, I thought you have forgotten about Mr. Ohio and focused on your sugar, I wonder if your conscience doesn’t prick you whenever you fantasize over another man…

“Becca, I’m only putting on this ring because sugar is taking me out to his family house today. He is driving down the street to pick me. I will get to meet his boring family again today. He is taking this whole marriage thing serious. He has even purchased his wedding suit, our wedding invitation card is in print. Richie… I mean Sugar paid for all the expenses, he has booked down a big hall for our reception and also given me money for my wedding gown shopping. But to be truthful I have loosed interest in him already. I have even spent the wedding gown money on something more important. Ever since I met Ohio, I have totally forgotten that I’m in a serious relationship. I’m not interested in getting married to sugar, all I want is Ohio. He is everything I want in a man. I’m only playing along with sugar but I’m not interested in getting married to him…

Jojo said every word without any sign of remorse.

I was ready to correct her about mixing up her “sugar with ” Richie but I decided to wave it off.

I was speechless as I listen to her speak.

Finally, I will be meeting her “sugar.

Since she said he was driving down the street to pick her up, I will walk her down so that I will see the unlucky man that ended up with an unserious Lady like Jojo. He doesn’t know that Jojo is only playing with his heart and she can even dump him on their wedding day.

After sometimes her phone rang and she answered the call.

” my sugar, I’m right here in my friend’s house. Yeah, Becca… Ooh, you are driving down to my place? Okay, I will join you soon. Love you my sugar…. kiseses… mmuah… mmuah!…

She blew kisses to her sugar over the phone.

After the call was over she gave an annoying smile and return her face to normal.

I almost laughed out at the drama that Jojo was performing before me.

She act so nice whenever she was on the phone or present with him but immediately the call is over or she is out of sight Jojo will give her supposed husband to be a squizz of face and annoying sigh.

I wish I can set my eyes on the guy to know who exactly is Jojo’s sugar. I thought he was going to drive down my own street but is unfortunate that Jojo was referring to her own Street, not mine.

I walked with Jojo to outside my gate, I didn’t know that she came in her car.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Jojo reminded me again about getting Mr. Ohio’s contact.

Few days later. while I was at work, I met Mr. Ohio, he wasn’t with his mistress as other staff will tag him.

He came alone and seem to be in a haste.

I was willing to ask for his contact just to pleasee Jojo but i losed all courage to do so and i was having a double mind doing that.

I like Mr Ohio, but Jojo seem to be obsess with him.

I can’t help her with her obsession towards Ohio.

She needs to stick to her sugar, he loves her and want to spend the rest of his life with her. Jojo should get serious with that.

“Good day Becca, how are you doing?

Mr Ohio greeted, despite he was rushing out he still stopped by to say hello to me.

I blushed at his gentleman approach and good fashion sense before replying his greeting

He looked at my eyes with an attractive smile on his face, i watched as his hand traveled to my empty fingers with no ring. he wanted to say something but instead he checked his wrist watch, gasped out in shock.

” i have a flight to catch by 7pm today, i have to go now… Becca.

My blushing face suddenly turned into a sadness.

I wish i can be seeing him everyday. I wonder when i will see him again if he travels this time.

I couldn’t hold back myself from asking him where he was traveling to.

He said his brother, Klint will be doing his wedding by weekend and he has to be there.

Mr. Ohio said he will only be spending two weeks with his people before returning back.

He also mentioned going with his cousin who was already waiting for him.

I managed to smile.

“Alright, congratulations to your brother. All the best sir and hope to see you safely back… i mean to… i actually wanted to say ” journey mercies…

I was stuttering unexpectedly.

He chuckled a little at how uneasy i suddenly become.

He was getting too comfortable with me and i was enjoying his company already.

“Don’t tell me you gonna miss me Becca… will you?

He said surprising me with the question

I couldn’t admit to it.
