Tobi's POV

I still don't know why she ignores me like that, I didn't do anything to her. She just acts like I'm invisible and I don't know why that hurts so much.

I was driving to work when my phone rang. I checked the caller id and it was my younger sister's nanny.

"Hello Mr Tobi, Tope is having an attack again!" She sounded really panicked. Shit! I made a quick U-turn and hung up on her. I called my colleague and asked him to cover up for me.

I started praying. I hope I make it home in time, she's the only one I have left. I promised I'll make sure nothing happens to her. I called her nanny again to fill me up on what's happening.

"Her eyes are beginning to roll backwards, and she's foaming!" No, no no no no!!! Not foaming!!

My sister suffers from arthilopedia, a sickness she got from premature birth and in a very risky circumstance. It makes her collapse at anytime, which makes her eye rolls backwards when she doesn't get her medication on time. I am happy she made it, even though my mom didn't.

In ten minutes I got home. Ayo was there already, making me relax a little. I rushed into the elevator and tapped the button for my floor. On reaching my apartment, I barged in.

"Where is she?!" I ran into her room.

"She's calming down man, get your shit together!" Ayo slapped my head.

I saw her lying on her bed, the foam subsiding slowly and her eyes going back to normal. I released a very long breath.

"Did you give her the medications on time?" I asked looking over at her nanny. The look told me she didn't.

"I- I w-was cooking when it was time to g-give her t-the med-medication." She stuttered and that angered me more.

"You were cooking when it was time to give her the medication, you couldn't pause? What's the use of hiring you when you won't give her on time?! That was the main reason I hired you, to give her her medication on fucking time!!" I shouted, making her flinch. Just then I realised what she was wearing. She has the audacity to wear a dress that barely covers her ass.

"I'm sorry si-"

"What is this you're wearing?" I cut her off raising my voice. She looked at what she was wearing and started shaking.

"It was a mistake si-"

"A mist-" I was cut off by Ayo

"Tobi, if you want to shout at her, please do it outside. But considering your voice is really loud, please, let Tope rest." Then he looked at the nanny, "You shouldn't have worn this when you know he'll be coming back home after you called for Tope's attack, yet you didn't change the clothes. I'm guessing you want him to notice you. Well sadly, he has eyes for someone else. So please, if you don't want to lose your job, don't wear something like this again. " He stood up and handed me a bag.

"Thanks man." I looked over at my sister, she was fast asleep. The attack always weaken her system, making her sleep for hours. Atleast she'll be really quiet when she wakes.

I followed Ayo downstairs, I guess he's going home now.

"What did you mean by I have eye for someone else? If you mean Georgia, then no. I have no inten-"

"Just shut up man, who's talking about a walking Barbie. I meant Abiola, and you can't lie to me." He looked at me sternly.

"As if. That girl that hates my gut to the highest hate, she doesn't even like to acknowledge my presence."
