Somto hadn't sent word ahead, everything had been too rushed, but he wasn't worried. Confidence was his armor.
The moment he stepped into the office, the secretary barely glanced up. "The VC's not available right now. Come back with an appointment."
Her voice was flat, like it happened every day. She didn't even notice the sound of his footsteps fading away, until something made her freeze. Slowly, she looked up.
There, towering before her, was Somto.
Her eyes widened. She jumped up from her seat. "Mr. Somto! You're here. The VC will see you now."
She didn't bother to warn the VC first, Somto's dark, serious face spoke louder than words.
Hurriedly, she opened the door, and Somto stepped inside. The man inside startled, ready to lash out, until he recognized who it was.
Somto gave Nnenna a quick look, signaling he would be back for her. Then, he closed the door behind him and disappeared into the office.
