PART 2.If Only She LISTENED To Her SISTER,She Wouldn’t Have Lost Her…#story #folklore #tales – Ty

After Tola, took that advice from Chuma and went ahead and registered a business under her name. Personally, she came back in the evening to give Simi the good news. When Simi saw her very happy when she came back, Simi asked her, “Hope all is well?” That’s why she’s very happy. Tola then told her, “Girl, I know you were bothered about those people’s request.

You know you told me they needed a business name registered one and a bank account made with us, right?” “Yes. Yes, they they told me and I told you. What about it?” “I have a solution. So, a friend of mine decided to hook me up with this person that did all these uh CAC certificates. And the person said he can register me with us in 24 hours.

We receive our name and we can use it and open a bank account where those people will pay those money into. While we do that, we can now proceed and make an official opening corporate account for the our business. At least let us not lose these people at all.” At first, that thing does not make sense to us, Simi.

“Are you sure of what you just said? Cuz is it that the person is going to forge it? Nobody gives CAC certificates in 24 hours. And why would the person use the same name made with us? If we want to register the business as uh partner, it’s going to affect us because the name has been taken already.” But Tola told her not to worry, that she knows her onion and she knows what she’s doing.

Simi, the trusting babe, decided to trust Tola without any problem. Tola reached out to them that evening by email and told them that they are ready. And they’re going to give them their details by weekend. So, they will make their first payment for them to set up their business. After sending that email, Simi felt relieved because she has been cracking her head on how she will go about the registration of the name, receiving a bank name.

The whole thing will be stressful and at the end of the day, they might actually lose those clients and she doesn’t want that. No one knew how Tola and Cheoma pulled those strings and in just 7 days, the business name that they registered came out. Tola immediately went to the bank and opened an account by herself.

That weekend, she sent it to Simi and asked her to forward it to those people. Simi, out of trust, did what Tola asked her to do. And they paid part payment. As they made that part payment, Tola was the one that forwarded the money to Simi. And that was how Simi ordered their packages, their boxes that were specially designed and named “Made With Us”.

That day, Simi was so busy inside making those orders by herself without the help of Tola when the packages came in and Simi asked them to put them outside so that by the time she was done with whatever she’s doing, she would come out and pack those boxes inside. The delivery man agreed and packed the boxes outside.

Unfortunately, Tola’s neighbor, an elderly lady, was passing and she tripped over one of the boxes. The woman became very angry and was shouting, “Who kept this box here? Do you want to kill an old woman?” As she was shouting, Tola came back from work at the same time and met her shouting.

Tola had to apologize immediately to the woman and told her it wasn’t her fault. It was her sister that did it. Tola apologized and apologized, but the old woman was so furious and she threatened to report her. Regardless of Tola’s begging, the old woman did not care. She walked out on her angrily. Immediately Tola opened the door, she started yelling at Simi.

Without looking at the mess that was staring in front of her, “Why would you leave those boxes outside? You nearly tripped that woman next door. You don’t care to see I’m busy here. I’m expecting you to be back earlier than this. Assist me in all of this. The workload is too much, and you’re bothered about the woman that wants to trip.

Let her trip now. It’s not just ordinary books. It’s the iron that is there. So, she cannot move it and pass. Inside there is already choked up. We have plenty orders, and I’m trying to manage this as fast as I can, so that we’ll meet up with the order deadline. All you have to do now is to assist me, not complaining or start yelling at me.

But Tola was not having it. What nonsense are you talking about? So, you cannot acknowledge the fact that you made a mistake, and you’re trying to lecture me? Simi fired back out of frustration. “Madam, we have 250 boxes. Where do you want me to put the supplies? In my head? In your bedroom? For crying out loud, reason very well.

Think before you start asking me silly questions. Outside that balcony is the only perfect place where I could put it. Where else do you want me to put it? And it was properly packed. That woman might just be looking for trouble. But right now, she didn’t fall. She nearly tripped, but she didn’t. The issue has been solved. Can we get to work?” Tola still did not want to let the matter go.

“Get to work? Do you know what that woman told me outside? She even cursed me on top because of your own mistake. Am I living room? This is no longer my living room. What is going on here, Simi? Made with us. Is this Is this house the headquarter now? I did not officially agree to this so, I hope you know. Semi stopped what she was doing for a while and stared at her.

Tola, seriously. You agreed when we started. Eh, I agreed to work from my flat, but not to hand over my business permanently here. But we’ve been working on this your living room for over 1 year now. And you have not complained. Why are you complaining today? Because of an old woman? Or is there any other reason why you’re yelling at me and talking to me anyhow this evening that you came back? But Tola still made her statement sound and clear.

Listen to me. You need to find alternative to using my sitting room. I don’t like this. This house is so messed up. This is an apartment given to me by my office people. If they find out that I turned this into something I used to make money, I’m sure I will be sacked immediately. I don’t want to lose my job.

At the same time, I want the business to continue, but I don’t think it we should run it on this flat anymore. We’re going to push this business to somewhere else. I just want to let you know so that if I make any decision tomorrow, you won’t look at me somehow. And as for helping you, I can’t do that. I am very exhausted from work.

I will need to rest. I will need to eat, relax a little bit before I will join you. For now, continue whatever you are doing, and please go and remove those boxes outside. Tola walked inside her room so proudly. And that really stinked Semi. It’s as if something stinked her on her brain. She stood still. It wasn’t working.

She was confused at some point. At another point, she was still thinking. Was that Tola that just spoke to her or another person? Because the Tola she knows does not talk rudely. And I’ve never talked so rudely towards her. She was now confused. What changed? What got into this woman? Anyways, Simi had a work to deliver. And if she doesn’t deliver, it’s on her head. So, she had to be fast.

She ignored the noise Tola made. She called it work stress and continued what she was doing. In less than 3 weeks, they finally finished that work. The company that received this loved it so much. They paid and they paid an additional bonus. And Tola did not tell Bisiy about it. That same week, Joke came back with the agreement.

Simi called Tola and told her to meet her up at her home. That she wants to see her. At the same time, Joke was already waiting. When Tola finished work that day, she went straight to Simi’s house. When they entered, the three of them sat down. Tola was even surprised to see Joke. They hugged each other because it has been long they saw each other, even though they used to speak and chat on social media.

Then, Tola asked Simi what was so important that she had to bring her down to her house. What happened to her apartment? Simi then explained that she needed witnesses. That is why she called her to her own apartment. Now, Joke here, being their friend, is going to be a witness to her. And also, her own mother will be a witness to her own side.

That they want to sign an agreement, a business agreement. They will read it, go through it, and they will sign. So, that this business will not bring issues for them in the future. They will talk about how they will share the finances and they will make plans to start registering the business through CAC and have a corporate account on it.

Everything will be made illegally now. Ola became scared at first, but regained her composure. She read through the contract and disagreed immediately. No, Simi, I am sorry. I cannot sign this. This is outrageous. What is outrageous? Joke asked her. What do you mean that you’re going to be taking 60% while I take 40%? Why? You said the business will be registered under both our names. That one is good.

And it’s going to be a corporate account that will be jointly owned by the two of us. And the two of us will have access, but nobody have access to remove money without each other’s agreement and signing. That one should make sense. But hello, I’m going to be taking 50-50. I’m not doing 60-40. Never. Joke immediately tried to explain to Ola. This is a fair deal, Ola.

What do you mean 50-50? The work you guys did last, you did not do anything. You only come back in the evening and help unpack it. Simi was the one that practically did all the work by herself. Over 200 boxes all by herself. You can see that work is killing her. You guys need to do 60-40. And out of that 60-40, you are going to still pay the people that Simi is going to employ to be assisting her.

This is the best you can do. If you don’t agree to this, that means everybody should go their separate ways now. Is that what you want? Joke said that so as to persuade her to agree, but immediately Ola agreed immediately. Yes, so. I think we should all go our separate ways if I do not agree. You can go and start up your own while I start up my own.

I will not agree to 60-50. If it’s not 50/50, forget about it. Simi was so disappointed. Tola, what are you doing? We are sisters. We are best of friends. Why are you drawing back now? Okay. There is no problem. If Tola wants 50/50, let’s do it 50/50. I agree. Let’s go ahead. But just know that Joke here is going to handle the opening of the account, the registering of the name.

She came with the file and the form for us to fill. So we have to fill it and start up immediately. Let’s go ahead. I don’t have any problem. Let’s go ahead. But for some weird reason, Tola was still dragging feet. Kept on complaining about one thing or the other. She doesn’t complain about this, she’ll complain about that.

And that started becoming unnecessarily annoying. It was then Ayo, Simi’s sister, walked out of the room and came out. And looks straight. So Tola, she greeted her first and told her to tell the truth. She’s not agreeing because she did something behind your back, sis. I warned you. But now someone have taken over your business.

Simi was confused. What are you talking about, Ayo? Please go inside your room. We are adults here and we are talking. We don’t need you here. Ayo started laughing. I know you don’t need me. That is why I came to tell you beforehand. Have a nice day. Ayo turned back and left.

Joke here now started questioning Tola why she doesn’t want to sign the deal and why she doesn’t want them to start the process of registering the company. What is going on? But Tola refused to say anything. The next thing, she stood up and she wanted to walk away when Simi dragged her back angrily and told her enough is enough.

Is it that you say what you You to say now? If you have any grudge against me or I did something bad to you, say it now or forever hold your peace. If you want us to do our business separately, that will be fine. I’ll find my way, you find your way. Is that what you want? We have been a great team. I’ve been cooperating.

I don’t have any issue with you. Then why are you dragging feet in signing this thing? Ola then said, “Eh, the thing is just that I am not ready to sign anything now, okay? You guys should give me like a week or so. I will do the signing by then. You didn’t tell me ahead of time. I’m supposed to consult someone. Joke is not supposed to be the only one here as my witness. So, please allow me.

I’ve taken my own part of the agreement. I’ll take it home, read it and sign it.” Joke agreed. Simi agreed. They gave her a week to come back with the signed document. That was how Ola left. And she went straight to Choma. When she got to Choma’s apartment, she was so worried. “Choma, I think I’m in trouble, see. Simi just came up with this an agreement to share the business 50/50 and to open a name under our business name.

If she find out that I already opened a name under our business name, if she find out that the last job we did, I short paid her, and if she ever find out that I’ve already started my own business secretly behind her using the same name, it will not be funny, you. Now, she wants to make everything legal.

I don’t even know who gave her that kind of idea. What should I do?” Choma was just smiling. “Is that why you are panicking? It’s very simple. Sign it. If they want to register the name, they will find out that someone else have taken the name. At the time Joke finds out that someone else have taken the name, eh, they We another name.

You guys will come up with another name. You give her suggestion of the names to use. I don’t know why you are panicking, no. As for me, this is not a problem. All you have to do now is to contact the person that did that registration and let them hide your personal details. Anybody that is digging through will not dig out the person that owns that company except you are being contacted through an email, something like that.

Just tell her, she knows how to go about it, okay? Don’t worry yourself. Tola was so relieved and happy. And that was how she went home happy. It didn’t even reach up to a week. She signed the agreement and sent it to Joke. Joke then contacted Simi and told her that Tola had finally signed the agreement and she will start processing the registration of the company name.

Simi was so happy. But two days later, Joke called Simi on the phone and told her the bad news. See, someone has taken that name, Made With Us. I think you people should come up with another name. Simi was so sad. She wasn’t happy that the name they have been using all this while was already taken. Then she told Joke not to worry.

She’s going to contact Tola and they will come up with another beautiful name. That same day, Simi called Tola and told her they need to meet up. Tola agreed and they met up at her apartment. Simi told her about someone else taking the name Made With Us and they need to come up with another name similar to Made With Us so that they can be able to register the company and continue.

Immediately, Tola gave her a name. Why don’t you take out your first name, the first letter of your name and the first letter of my name, we put it together and we form a name. Simi thought about it. You mean S and T? Well, it’s unique and beautiful, but I need something that anybody thinks about our business, they can easily get us.

Made with us is very simple. Anybody can remember that name. That is why I chose it. I need something we need to choose a game that is very simple and kind of related to our business. You don’t need to be using your signature or your name to open a business. It doesn’t sound professional. To me, it doesn’t.

So, I will think about a name right now and we’re going to come up with something. The two of them sat there for a while. After roughly 45 minutes of counseling different names, they finally decided to come up with Made With Love. Which even sounded better than Made With Us. Made With Love. Tola immediately agreed.

Made With Love, yes, it’s so beautiful. Let’s use it. And that’s was how Simi reached out to Joke again and told her about the name they came up with, Made With Love, and pray that nobody have also taken that name. Joke immediately searched and they were lucky. Nobody have actually taken up that name. Joke then told Simi that she’s going to process with the registration now.

As the name registration was still going on, Tola still remained cold towards Simi. They work in the same environment, but she was always rude and talking down on Simi. Any small thing, she would call it an error. Any small thing, she would yell at Simi and remind her that she’s using her sitting room to do business.

Simi kept quiet and kept on enduring, thinking maybe Tola had a bad day at work, not knowing Tola was doing all of those things so as to push her away and take over the business fully. Tola does not know how to tell her that she doesn’t want to do business with her anymore. Tola does not know how to tell her that she does not want to partner with her anymore.

But for the sake of friendship, she decided to be very rude so that Simi would leave by herself. But unfortunately, no matter what she do, Simi did not leave. Simi was so patient and very kind towards her. Three days later, after they chose a new name, Joke called Tola and told her that she wants to see her privately.

Tola agreed, and the two of them met up at a cafe. When Tola saw Joke, she knew she wasn’t smiling. What happened this time around? What is the problem? Why are you frowning your face if you know you want to come and meet me for something important? Joke now brought out some documents and showed her. Are you this wicked? I thought Simi was your best friend.

While in school, I envied your friendship, but I did not envy it to the extent that you would go behind your friend’s back and betray her like this. Midwives also registered under your name. Do you think I wouldn’t find out? Come on, girl, I’m a lawyer. I know how to dig. No matter how you try to hide it, this is your full name, Olayemi Why.

And you have also opened a bank account on that same name. You’ve been running a business on that same name. For crying out loud, this is wickedness, oh. Why would you do that behind your friend’s back? No wonder you were behaving strangely at their house that day. I knew something was up. There were I just kept quiet.

I can’t just throw a stone without being very sure. Tola, what are you going to gain from what you did now? You should have told Simi to just back out. Let’s separate and do our business separately. Why do you need to betray her? Is this fair? She’s still working hard, getting clients, doing the work alone, and you want two of you to share 50/50 in the new company you want register.

Thank God my instincts were never wrong. I had to dig and I dig out this. I’ve already filed for a new company through the CAC portal. But I had to put only Simi’s name. I did not add yours cuz you’re wicked. And I’m going to tell Simi everything I found out. Both of you will trash your problems out, but I cannot see this and keep quiet.

But after them begging Joke, it’s not like that oh. It was actually Chuma that gave me the idea to, you know, do this and I did it. It’s working. I have a side business down that pays me good money at the end of the month. And Simi is also there making money for me. If you were me, you’d have grabbed the opportunity. If I were you.

Are you okay? Bola, I am not you and I can never be you. I can’t betray my friendship like that just because of money and greediness. You went and listened to Chuma. That’s one. That wanted to conspire with me back then in school to destroy your friendship because she doesn’t like the fact that two of you are so good and so close to each other.

She was never happy. But now that she has succeeded in doing it, I will help you and finish it. Joke stood up to leave while Bola was busy begging her. But Joke did not listen. As she left that cafe, she went straight to Simi who fortunately for her was in her parents’ house that day. When Simi saw her looking so angry, she asked her what the problem was.

Joke calmed Bola down and told her to calm down because what she’s about to hear is going to break her heart. Simi then told her to go ahead. Joke brought out documents and showed to her. Your beloved friend had already registered your company. And guess what? She has been a secret company. She hired people.

She has about four workers under her that does the same thing. She has a social media page with the same name, Made With Love. And she has been running it for months now without you knowing. She registered the company only to herself. And she has betrayed you in so many ways you could not even imagine. The last work you did, over 200 boxes, how much were you paid? Simi told her.

But Jokelet told her the real amount the company paid to Dollar. And Simi nearly fainted. What? Yes. That was the money she used to start up her own business. The money was huge. I wonder how you trusted her so blindly. Simi was so heartbroken. Ola did this to me? I’m sorry. She did. And she begged me to hide it, but I couldn’t.

; ; With the help of your so-called mutual friend, Jema, Ola betrayed you. I’m sorry it had to come to an end, but I had to register Made With Love only under you. Now you know you are alone. Now you know that you want to start up a business, you start up on your own. Any other thing you have left in Dollar’s house, go and pack them.

Come back home to your own house and start up a business. Your sister Ayo can help. She’s fast, brilliant. Even though she’s a special needs child, she can still help. Your mother too can assist if she has chance. But if you want to go and start dragging with Dollar, it’s a total waste of time. Start up your life and cut her off.

And stop doing bestie-bestie. That is all I can say to you. Simi broke down in tears and cried. Ayo came out of the room and looked at her. I told you you were going to cry. But the good thing is that you need to cry in a very good way. Because this Joke your friend made it easier for you.

Now you have another company made with love. When you cancel out your business from this house. Open a new social media accounts. Let us grow it. I will help you my sister. You don’t need to cry. God is on your side. You will see how you’re going to blow up. More than your so-called friend Tola. But next time, if I warn you, you listen.

Simi cried for days. She refused to leave her room. By the third day, she came out. She went straight to Tola’s house. Not to confront her, but to pack her remaining things in the house. When she went there, Tola wasn’t at home. So she packed up her things. As she was trying to leave, Tola came back. When Tola saw Simi, she started crying, “I’m sorry my friend.

I didn’t mean to betray you like that. It was just a bad advice I took from Chuma.” But Simi looked at her and smiled back. “It is well. And I wish you best of luck.” Simi walked out without confronting her. She only wished her well. She returned home. Opened a new social media account, Made With Love, and started doing her advertisement. With the knowledge of Ayo, her sister, her younger sister that she had always ignored.

She started running ads on all social media. And that was how she started grabbing customers to herself. Simi she was the master planner. Her designs were outstanding. And the things she started adding to it to make it a difference from Made With Us made people to trust her brand more and started ordering her.

Before you know what is happening, from a single room to ; ; Simi renting out an entire flat and turning it into her business. And with that, she really blowed up. While Tola was seriously struggling to even maintain to pay the four people she hired to work for her. Which she end up sacking almost all of them and closed down the business because she couldn’t handle it.

If you were Simi, would you take revenge on Tola for betraying you like that? And the money, too. Simi never recovered it. She left Tola with it. Would you be able to leave such a huge amount for her? What do you think? Tell me in the comment section. I hope you enjoyed this story. If you do, give it a thumbs up.
