I’m here to apply for the accountant position,” said Tunde with fear.
Ada laughed bitterly. “You? Apply for a job here? Never! Go home and write an application for the wrong job instead!”
How it all began
Once upon a time, there was a boy named Tunde and a girl named Ada. They were very close and loved spending time together. They would laugh for hours, share snacks, and talk about their dreams for the future.
Everyone thought they would end up together forever. But one day, everything changed.
Ada saw Tunde talking to her younger sister, Amara, after class. They seemed to be smiling and laughing. Ada’s heart sank. “Is he dating my sister behind my back?” she thought.
She didn’t ask Tunde. She didn’t even talk to Amara. Instead, anger took over. That night, Ada confronted Tunde.
“How dare you betray me like this?” she shouted.
“What are you talking about?” Tunde asked, confused.
“Don’t pretend! I saw you with my sister!” Ada screamed.
Tunde tried to explain, but Ada wasn’t ready to listen. The fight grew bigger and bigger until they both walked away, leaving behind their once-beautiful relationship.
Years passed.
Ada’s life changed. Her father owned a big company, and she worked hard to become the CEO. She was now in charge, making big decisions and leading the company to success.
Tunde, on the other hand, struggled to find a job. Life wasn’t easy for him, but he didn’t give up.
One day, while flipping through a newspaper, he saw a job advert. Ada’s company was hiring an accountant. His heart leapt.
“This is my chance!” he thought.
On the day of the application, Tunde dressed in his best shirt and trousers. He arrived at the company gate with his neatly packaged application in hand.
As he stood there, waiting to submit it, a sleek black car rolled in. Tunde stepped aside, unaware of who was inside.
The car door opened, and out stepped Ada.
Tunde froze.
Ada’s sharp eyes scanned him, and her expression turned cold. “What are you doing here, Tunde?” she asked, her voice dripping with anger.
“I’m here to apply for the accountant position,” Tunde said nervously.
Ada laughed bitterly. “You? Apply for a job here? Never! Go home and write an application for the wrong job instead!”
The security guard looked confused, but Tunde didn’t argue. He turned and walked away, his head hanging low.

At home, Tunde sat on his bed, thinking about everything. “Why does she hate me so much? She doesn’t even know the truth.”
Then, an idea struck him. “If she wants me to apply for the wrong job, I’ll do just that!”
He spent three days writing a special letter titled ‘APPLICATION FOR THE WRONG JOB AVAILABLE.’
In the letter, he poured out his heart.
He explained how Ada misunderstood his relationship with Amara. He told her how much he regretted their fight and how their breakup had affected him. He even mentioned how qualified he was for the job, despite the pain of the past.
When Ada received the letter, she couldn’t believe her eyes.
“What kind of letter is this?” she said aloud. She read every word carefully. Tunde’s words touched something deep inside her.
She showed the letter to her mother, who still helped with the company. Ada’s mother smiled and said, “Invite him and Amara. Let’s hear the full story.”
On the day of the meeting, Tunde arrived with Amara by his side.
Ada sat in her office, tapping her fingers on the desk. When she saw them together, her anger flared again. “Why did you bring her here?” she snapped.
Tunde looked calm. “Because you need to see the truth,” he said gently.
During the meeting, Tunde spoke from his heart.
“Ada, this is Amara, the person you thought I was dating. Look closely. She’s my younger sister, not my girlfriend. You never gave me the chance to explain back then, and because of that, we lost something special.”
Ada’s face turned pale. She looked at Amara, who nodded and said, “Tunde has always been like a big brother to me. I don’t know why you thought otherwise.”
Tears welled up in Ada’s eyes. The truth hit her like a wave. “I’m so sorry,” she whispered. “I was wrong. I should have listened to you.”
Tunde forgave her. Ada realized how much she had hurt him and how her impatience had ruined their bond.
To make things right, she gave him the job, knowing he deserved it. From that day, they started working together, rebuilding trust and creating new memories.
