///EPISODE 5///
On getting to the entrance of the office, I met the gateman who was about locking the office gate, I whispered from afar my car was situated, I instructed him to hold on a little while, he obeyed, I got inside the office, I followed the path to the main entrance to the chairman’s office, I entered and I stepped on a envelop at the reception beside the executive circular chair that was there behind the rolling glass at the middle of the reception……..what this envelop may
be?????????????? Hope its not an importance document from partner companies???????????????? What sort of receptionist or secretary are these people employed??????????? How carelessness are they??????????? How would they be careless with such official information….”Those are the
questions flowing on my brain”………I took the letter which
was addressed to the Accounting manager of the organization and I put it inside the folded bag I took along with me, I got inside the office, picked up the sticker stamped I came for and headed back to the gateman, I gave him #1000 note. he was very happy, he initiated a jokes in which it later almost pissed me,
