Gbemisola woke up that cool August Monday morning with a strange
feeling. She knew it had to do with work but couldn’t tell exactly what it was. She
worked as the personal assistant to the managing director of Fando Oil, an oil and
gas company in Lagos. She had been working there for the past six months and had
never for once resented her job not even on the worst of days. She was dedicated to
her job and this was evident in the die-hard commitment and tireless effort she
pumped in on a continual basis.
