No New Hiccups

"A new story of an avoidable hiccup and you are done," Sade said, with a look that was so menacing it could bore a hole in the wall. She had shifted the deadline for submitting a painting project twice because of Femi, her childhood friend.

Why did she do it? Was she buying time for her friend?

Yes, she was. Her friend will be in trouble if the higher-ups find out the project wasn't completed.

I assume Sade was speaking to herself?

Haha. Lovely freewrite! I think a lot of us have similar stories like Sade and I hope we remind ourselves in the same timely manner that she did.

Seriously, keeping deadlines with close pals in business or work can be frustrating, as some people will take advantage of the relationship to misbehave.
She was actually yelling at Femi, a good friend who was using that to his advantage, to the detriment of the project at hand.

Oh, it's clearer to me now. NGL, every friend like Femi deserves to be scolded, and like you said, it can be a chore working with people like that. We only have to try to set boundaries with them.
