She got them with act of pretense

I despise the rituals of fake friendship. I wish we could just claw each other's eyes out and call it a day; instead we put on huge radiant smiles and spout compliments until our teeth hurt from the saccharine sweetness of it all.

Howdy wonderful viewers, readers,commenters,friends and great sponsors of @Read.Cash, hope you all are having a good day.

I have this article saved down for a long time and I never knew why I didn't finish it up.

But today, I picked up my phone and said to it, you are finishing up that article today... Lol.

Thanks to those that wished me quick recovery, I am a bit better now, I appreciate you all.

I once worked in a organization 5 years ago where movies were produced..it was a media company with different departments..

We were three, who headed the arithmetic department of making sure things do not pass their limit and the scalers makes sure the content going out was good enough.

The company's secretary left when she got a job at the house of assembly for her contribution towards a village in bringing in pipe borne water during her NYSC (National Youth Service Corp) days.

She had to leave to begin a new life, this prompted the C.E.O to employ a new secretary to continue the out flow of the work.

My colleague and I who headed the arithmetic department are known to be very wild and nosy.

During one of our nosy investigation at the arrival of the new secretary, we found out that the boss was always after the skirt of the ladies in his company in a record we found stashed up for years..

Digging further, we noticed the new secretary was his prey,and we made sure to follow suit with our long nose in attempt to see how things would go.

Weeks after the secretary came in,she won everyone's heart with lots of gift she bestowed on them, so they never found her act. She had the innocent face and would talk calmly that the workers loved her.

My friend and I were not won in no matter how she tried,we made sure she knew we can't be bought and put her at in her place.

Rumors started spreading in about someone telling the boss things that happened at work even when we had sorted it out and concluded we'd work things out and do not need to get to the boss place.

When they found out that the new secretary was behind the spilling of secrets, the manager and others took charge and warned her against it but because she had started dating the boss then, she spoke rudely to them , so they planned on teaching her a lesson.

When they did theirs , she became furious and did to them what they didn't expect, she claimed they all did things they never did and the boss called a meeting, my friend and I were told to go because she didn't say anything about us but the others were spoken rudely to by the boss while some were sacked.

Everyone was angry and wished they had never accepted her like that.. she was happy with what she did and spoke rudely to the others,but she never spoke to my friend and I that way because we never gave her the opportunity to do such.

Months later this toxicity continued, the boss employed people in since he sacked lots of people that day.

During my friend and I nosy investigation, we found out that the boss had lost interest in the secretary as they were new ladies for him to pursue, so the boss made sure to employ another person in place of the secretary and made her do menial jobs others did.

She left the job in anger and never returned,the workers became happy and they vouched to never let gifts sway them anymore and instead they'd get to know who the person is before accepting them in fully.

My nosy friend left months later after she found a better job and I followed suit weeks later when the boss started throwing advances my way.

Conclusion.

We should learn to know who someone is before giving them absolute presence in one's life.

There are many who comes to our life and show us their cute little faces and we find them innocent but deep inside they are keeping their ugly face and would show it by hurting us in an unexpected way.

Know who you tell your secrets to,that innocent face of your friend can turn out to be that of a snake.

Not everyone who comes to you with gift truly love you,some do that so they'll be able to get close to you to do what they needed to do.

Heyyo sponsors, glad to have you all by my side.

Thanks for the usual tips, comments and love . I appreciate you all for always tuning in.

Thanks for reading and stay safe.
