I've been pretending to be on a call every time my landlord passes. For two years.
It started with one hello? hello? I can't hear you. Now it's a full character. I have a fake colleague called Segun. I've argued with Segun about a shipment. I've told Segun we'll circle back. Last week my landlord stopped me, pointed at the phone and said greet Segun for me. He KNOWS. He has always known. I still said Segun, landlord says hi, into a phone that was on the home screen. Rent is due on the 30th.
