Unholy Condemnation - Episode 1

Ikenna rode the elevator to the 13th floor of the massive complex where the chairman and CEO of NCC has his executive of office.

He stared at himself on mirrored wall of the elevator and smiled.

His outfit was impressive.

He had bought this expensive suit for this particular occasion and had shaved that morning to look fresh.

He adjusted his tie and took a final look at the mirror wall of the elevator and nodded to himself.

Yea, he looked like the famous and popular I.K Excavator.

He clutched the file that contains his proposal to his chest and said a silent prayer.

He often do this anytime he was on a mission.

Despite the fact he was the favourite to secure the contract, he still needs God grace to guide him.

He was confident the chairman will accept his proposal because his previous jobs for the company were ranked among the Best by the state government.

The notification sound from the elevator reminded him he was approaching the 13th floor and the door slid open.

He stepped out of the elevator and turned towards the corridor that led to the NCC executive office.

On nearing the glass door, it opened automatically and he walked into the hall.

A young lady was sitting nervously on the cushion chair reserved for visitors while a young man on black bespoke suit and brown crocodile skin shoes bent towards her and seemed to be whispering something to her.

His back was turned towards Ikenna but he knew the owner of the back.

He watched him as he unbuttoned the girls blouse, trailed his index finger around the moulds, slowly dipped his hand on the hollow of the girl's cleavage and squeezed.

The girl's eyes met Ikenna's own and she quickly started to button her blouse.

The young man looked up and smiled at Ikenna.

"Who do we have here, the lucky kid."

"Tony, you are always up to something"

replied Ikenna as he walked up to where Tony was standing with his hand still resting on the girl's body.

The young girl shifted to the extreme end of the seat and tried in vain to conceal her nervousness.

"You just interrupted something.

. I am just telling her how big my banana is and how she would crawl on her knees just to have a taste of it."

Said Tony as he shook hands with his friend.

"I came to see your dad, he gave me appointment today"

Ikenna said; trying to change the subject.

"The old man is inside

. Watch your steps, he is not in a good mood."

Tony said and sat beside the girl with a smile.

Ikenna knew Tony must have annoyed the man again with his reckless demands.

The chairman was always left in a terrible state of mind each time Tony visited him and Ikenna prayed it won't affect his journey here.

He smiled at his friend, nodded at the girl and walked into the secretary's office.

Amanda, a hard, efficient and plain looking girl was analysing something in her laptop when Ikenna walked in.

She glanced at Ikenna indifferently, greeted him and asked him to go in. Ikenna walked into the vast office of the chairman.

The old man was resting his head on the padded desk, his gray hair seemed to get whiter by the day.

He looked up at Ikenna as he greeted him and smiled.

"Ikenna my boy, come and sit down."

Ikenna obeyed.

The old man slowly searched for a file in his desk and selected the blue one with thick cover.

He opened it and seemed to be searching for something in it.

He looked older than the last time Ikenna saw him.

He is getting weaker and its a pity he can't trust his company to his son Tony.

Ikenna had advised him to leave the company to the management of the BOD vice chairman but like Tony his son, the chairman is very stubborn.

Even against his doctor's advice, he insisted on coming to work. He handed the file to Ikenna and Stretched himself.

"The contract is yours. Just signed it and get to work immediately. Drop your proposal and references with my secretary and tell him you are starting immediately. She knows what to do"

Ikenna glanced at the contract file and thanked the old man.

He supposed to shook hands warmly with him but instead, he suggested to him to go home and have a good rest.

"You are working too hard sir. You are no longer getting younger. You need to rest often"

The old man smiled at him.

"Ikenna my boy, I can't do that, this is my work, my creation, my world. I enjoy doing this. What is there for me to stay idle?"

Ikenna wanted to say something but staring at this one time richest man in the country, he knew this is no time to argue but time to produce positive and excellent result.

Still smiling, The old man politely dismissed him and bent his head back on the table.

Ikenna stared at the grey hair one more time, stood up and walked out of the office...
