Obinna couldn't shout. He just stood staring at his phone and the opened email. He looked closely at the figures written there. For a moment he didn't know what his next line of action could be.
"Emeka I Got the Job" Obinna said, he didn't have the patience for the 'guess what' game. "I got it"
he repeated as if Emeka didn't hear him the first time.
Emeka was already smiling from the other end of the call. One could tell by how he screamed "Obi!!" , then he tried to put himself together.
Emeka who worked for a recruitment agency had been trying to get a good job for his buddy Obinna. Tho a number of companies had called Obinna for interview, he didn't honour them because his mind was fixed on oil and gas industries. Emeka could only try to secure more jobs for him hoping that he'll take one. So, when the Cora lng job came up he knew that was Obinna's dream job and he wasn't surprised when Obinna went for the interview.
Obinna's first day at work was filled with smiles. He wore his best shirt with blue and with stripe. Out of excitement he forget to wear his tie and got to the office like that.
"I still look good" he said to himself in the elevator.
His desk in the accounts department was brown and smooth wood finishing. Mr Osas his boss showed him the work flow for the day and he settled in for work. The company had given him a work laptop and as he started working and writing in his black covered ledger he had a feeling of accomplishment, tho he didn't show it as everyone still stared at him every now and then.
