I once told a friend that I am very bad and evil but she didn’t believe me. We argued and still, she never agreed.
Her response was that bad people don’t say they are bad, instead they act good and do bad things underneath. She also said I was too cute and innocent to be bad, so I decided to tell her a story that will change her mindset.
This story I am about to speak on is a true-life event of my master evil mind, so get a seat, popcorn, and yogurt to go.
It all started in a media organization in the year 2018, there was me, a kind and loving being (coughs) and my favourite co-workers before a guy join in. His name is Emmanuel and he was bossy and didn’t like my fun attitude, we were always at loggerheads, and as far as he is concerned I was annoying which I do not object to because it is true.
But did that stop me from being fun? No! I recruited some workers to my mischievous fun-filled side and there was one coworker who was close to my level of mischievousness, her name is Chi, and I love her, why wouldn’t I when I just met my twin sister..
Chi and I are known to be very good to people at work (coughs again) and were known to make work fun-filled, you can’t be sad where we at… No! Marriage and motherhood were fun because we always had advice to dish out whenever a discussion arises.
I know I am deviating and you want to know why I am evil, I will tell you but before that, why don’t you grab a blanket and more popcorn and yogurt to go?
So it happened that we decided to teach Emmanuel a lesson, when I say we, I mean Chi, and I decided to make his life fun-filled and awesome. But why did we intend to do that when we know he doesn’t like fun?
Oh well he passed his boundaries, he had the gut to woo one of my recruits with his good looks and style without seeking permission from me, and they started dating.. The heck! The audacity he had to woo my beloved recruit whose name is Ogechi when he knows she was ready to embark on the relationship that will lead to marriage.
That wasn’t the reason though but having it written down now seems like it was, the truth was that he didn’t do anything but the people at work love me and care for me and it was hard for my mischievous side to take place, so Emmanuel was a good option in making our mischievous dream come true.
What did we do?
I bet this is the part you are waiting for, and I will get right to it, a colleague of ours was having her wedding celebration and we were invited to the party, it wasn’t like we could ask the caterer to add pepper to Emmanuel food because heck, we don’t know them.
So we thought of another way out but one presented itself when the shoe he ordered was brought in. I shared a lovely look toward my partner in good things Chi and she understood the signal and we went into action.
He had kept the shoe on his desk to attend to a matter that magically arose which we know nothing of and I used the opportunity presented to take the shoe off his desk.
What happened next
Oh trust me, it was something good, we had kept the shoe safe. Maybe I need to reconstruct the sentence cos it didn’t sound right, we had separated the shoe, the right one was kept in a place where they could find it after lots of right reasoning and the second was kept far away.
We returned to work like nothing happened because nothing did right? We were asked to close early from work to be able to prepare for the wedding, so at 4:00 pm we all picked up our bags and we were ready to step out not until we were asked to stop.. I wonder what happened, don’t you too?.
Well, it seems Emmanuel has lost his shoes so as good co-workers we were to help him find them which we did, I joined the search party, and after lots of searching around, we weren’t able to find them. How unfortunate.
Not until Mr. Martin the manager called Chi and me to an enclosed area to beg us, because according to him, we were the only ones who could make work an interesting place to be, and seeing Emmanuel's frustrated look was fun, so we forcefully admit to the statement made and Mr. Martin went over to pick the shoes up as explained to him by us.
Everyone breathe a sigh of relief, while Emmanuel on the other hand was just there staring at me, and when I told him to fix his collar and stop staring, he did so with a thank you. How lovely.
After the incident, Emmanuel and I became close friends and he now loves having fun. He got married in 2020 after Covid and has a kid.
My friend did change her mind after listening to the story and I hope you were also convinced.
PS: Let’s try to agree with the author's post as she is mischievous and your answers matter to you.
Still yours truly,
Balikis.
