Raise was saying, "You guys really love gossip maan, this firm must just be called scandal and you guys must change your careers and be journalists."
Lady: "You know Lerato was so not happy that Bra Moss took over their duties but then she says she saved them from working with an ugly rural girl, she thinks even her English is not good. How she got her LLB degree beats us, wait si. We can't wait to see her fail in court, she is no way she can handle that big case, even a small case with all the evidence that girl can't handle it. She is not a lawyer material."
Raise: "Her looks are original unlike you who is looking all fake here, even yours accent is so fake maan Naledi, as for
Lerato I won't comment because she is not here but if she dares discuss that sweet girl with me, you guys are now deputy Jesus busy judging ngwana batho saying she is going to fail hailaborawaitsi. I am very busy Naledi I am typing an urgent report that Bra Moss requires for his presentation please go and do your work too nna gossipy amboramaan
she then stopped typing and looked on the desk for her diary as she was about to look at her laptop again she saw me standing behind them.
Raise: she looked so shocked but tried to bring that bubbly personality of her's again. "Hawu nunu missing me already?"
Linomtha: my voice was shaky actually my whole body was shaking "I forgot my phone in your bag"
It was obvious this Naledi lady doesn't know me she only heard about me because she didn't look embarrassed at all and she still wanted to talk some more but Raise kept cutting her off after she saw me.
Naledi: "Hai wena Raise marakere bare moghel rurals…"
Raise: she cut her off "Naledi don't you have work to do maraskat"
Naledi: "My case was postponed so no I am free, let me tell you more ka moghelerural.. kerebare
This time Raise didn't interrupt her but Mr Ndlovu walked in
Mr Ndlovu: "Hai uyabona manje Raise (You see now Raise) I am expecting my report wena your busy doing a macatch-up's here and your now corrupting Linomtha. She is working on a big case wena your keeping her here I lunch iphelile (lunch is over) and Naledi you done in court?
Naledi: "Yes Bra Moss" her face looked so puzzled
Raise: "Shu ungifelani Bawo (Why am I am been blamed Lord) it's not my fault that abantu bayanthandanje" (it's not my fault that people love me)
Mr Ndlovu: "Please make them not to love you during working hours. My report please and Linomtha go back in my office and start working on your case"
It was so obvious that this Naledi has put two and two together now and realised the person she was talking about is me. She was beyond afraid she looked like she was about to faint. Am sure that Pedi author who wrote 'Lefase emakefologe' (world stand still and let me get off) had her picture in mind when he was writing that book.
I took my phone and went back to Mr
