AYANDA

Boardroom meetings are boring as hell. Mxolisi insists we do them twice a week: Mondays and Wednesdays.

Thanks to my weekly meetings with Vusi, I've managed to weasel my way out of the midweek catch-up, but I'm still forced to sit through an hour of Mxolisi prattling at the top end of the table. At least there's coffee and biscuits. I need it.

"Babalwa," Mxolisi says, placing his cup back down and running a meaty hand down his light blue shirt and navy tie. "I was very impressed with your report last week. Now that Justice is working on The Bridge Killer, I need you to take over coverage of the robberies."

"It has been quiet on that front," she points out across from me, making hand movements that accentuate her new nails. I mean, they look good.

"The readers are still salivating over the story. Dig up some interesting facts about the victims until the robbers strike again, or better yet, the security system the banks have installed. They all used the same provider, didn't they?"

"They did," Justice confirms beside me, doodling on a notepad.

I roll my eyes. I'm sure he reads newspapers before bed.

Mxolisi types on his laptop, then turns his attention to Masixole, the longest-standing reporter at this paper. "How are you getting on with the cheating scandal?"

"Katlego Mofokeng, the famous married PSL footballer, got caught balls-deep in a stripper," Justice whispers, and I give him the finger.

"You must be a really boring man," I offer sweetly before reaching forward to help myself to another biscuit.
