As I stood looking at the beautiful exotic perimeter of the hotels, with much auxiliary staff moving in different directions and always on the move with their colorful uniform. I took my first step towards the reception who was already smiling at me like someone who just won a jackpot. You need to see how I stepped on the marbles floor carefully.

'Welcome to Oriental Hotel and Tours',

the receptionist said,

with her gapped teeth flashing through her pinkish-painted lips.

Yeah. How are you, lady? I asked with a careful smile.

Am very fine sir, she giggled.

Could you please, direct me to the smoothie restaurant. I requested.

Oh! Join the elevator on next door. It's on the 6th floor.

Thank you. I said, then disappeared to the next door. In my mind, I was thinking of how my first experience on the elevator would be.

The journey through the elevator is a story for another day.

I was just beginning to calm down when I heard Oyin calling out to me.

Quickly, I join the table. Greeted all three guys. And before I could say, Jack Robinson, a bottle of champagne in a bucket of iced cubes was served.

Is this another planet or something? My mind started to reflect all over again.

Welcome man. Oyin has told us a lot about you. We have decided to hand over this business to you as the new General Manager. We had contracted an outsourcing firm to employ someone who we can trust with our commonwealth and all that had been recommended could not work.

Now that you have been recommended by Oyin as someone who we can trust, we put your hand as a partner. Do you can pursue this dream with us as we share profits and losses. So, the ten million naira loan you got is your partnership contribution to building a stronger union.

Now, I was getting confused. These guys only used me to acquire the bank loan so they can trust me with the company?

Profits will be shared every thirteen months.

Meanwhile, you will be resuming work in three days. We have reimbursed your office with accommodation on the Island, Marina to be precise. A cook and two other domestic staff. A driver and two official utility vehicles.

As Wole was saying all these and the other guys sipping their glasses of champagne, I was freezing out. I could not believe what is happening here. Even though it is not a dream, it still seemed a dream.

It's you time ro address us, Wole muttered.

Realizing that I don't have to fail, I summoned the little strength I had, cleared my through, they started.

Thank you for this opportunity, and Oyin, despite being my student, you still had that trust. I guarantee I'd do my best to take the business to the next level. And please, do not be too far away, your utmost supports will be appreciated.

To whom much is given, much is expected.

By the time I had speaking, I was applauded.

What? Did I make any sense with all that crap? Well, my confidence level just got elevated. The evening went on and on till will retired home. Life cannot be this better if opportunities can just slip into our path like this fiction or imagination that is flashing through my head.
