Mr lecturer

EPISODE 9
After relaxing in my office for a
while, i invited the girls inside and
curiously stared at them.
“good morning sir” they all
greeted.
“yea what can i do for you?” i
asked with a serious smile.
“we came to introduce ourselves
because we believe you don’t
know us” one of them replied
while i nodded in approval.
“actually we are students of this
great department but we
graduated last year. Unfortunately
the old man you just replaced
failed us in his course, forcing us
to spend an extra year over it” she
summarized with a pleading look.
“OK i now understand because
your faces really look very
unfamiliar” i said with a soft smile
which lit up their faces. They all
stared at me hopefully.
“please don’t let us spend another
extra year over the course. We
wrote the exam and tried our best
in it, but we unfortunately missed
writing the text because we never
got any information about it” she
murmured in form of an appeal. I
breathed deeply and nodded.
“write down your names on a
paper, I’ll see what i can do” i
offered like a good man. They all
breathed deeply with excitement.
“thank you sir” they chorused
while i smiled over the way they
kept calling me sir. Of course two
of the girls really looked a bit
older than I.
They wrote down their names on
the paper, dropped it on my table
and left happily, but as i made to
take a look at the paper, one of
the girls showed up again.
“i really forgot to invite to my
parents marriage anniversary
which is coming up on Sunday”
she said, presenting a small
invitation card to me. I collected
it and read curiously. The names
on the card slowly hit my face like
a hot slap.
“don’t tell me your father is a
former senator?” i asked with
disbelief.
“yea i’m his last child” she replied,
while a million questions hit my
head.
“what the hell is she doing,
studying in Nigeria. The old man i
just replaced really had some balls
to fail this girl. D--n” i breathed as
i weighed the girl before me.
“i hope you are coming?, some
senior lecturers including the vice
chancellor will be there. Take
advantage of this invitation. You
are a nice man sir” she smiled and
left. My face instantly coloured
with excitement.
Just like every young man, I was
very ambitious, but i equally
realised that the more ambitious i
got, the more corrupt i became.
The invitation really was
irresistible but somehow i was
very scared over my intentions
and the direction i was slowly
heading.
I was still battling with my mind
when Comfort walked into my
office with a warm smile on her
face. I instantly recoiled with
guilt.
“what do you want?” i asked
coldly.
“relax sir” she replied, drew close
and sat on an empty chair across
my table…..
The d--n girl was now like a silly
noisy mosquitoe i couldn’t kill..
