A colleague at my friend's workplace deceived almost everyone in the office, including my friend. Almost everyone there was married except my friend and this particular colleague. The married women would sometimes tease my friend because of how early she came to work and how late she usually left. She was always one of the first people to arrive and one of the last to leave. Nobody really knew what was going on in her smiling face. Then, one day, she shocked everyone. She announced that she was getting married in three months. The office was excited for her. There was even a tradition in the office that whenever someone was celebrating something important, everyone would contribute money to support the person. So they all the time everyone had contributed, they had raised ₦500,000, including the money their boss added. The lady was also very convincing. On Tuesday, she sent everyone the address for the wedding and even brought Ankara worth ₦10,000 for each of the ten colleagues to make outfits for the wedding. Last Saturday, the wedding day finally arrived. My friend's colleagues dressed up beautifully and headed to the address she had given them. They got there... And found an empty hall. At first, they thought maybe they had arrived at the wrong place. They started calling her. Once. Twice. Again and again. She didn't pick up. Everyone was fully dressed, standing there confused, trying to understand what was happening. They called her repeatedly, but her phone remained unanswered. No bride. No groom. No wedding. Just an empty hall and ten people standing there in their beautiful Ankara outfits. 😭😂 She didn't resume work today.
