When I arrived at the hotel scanned the entire area to see Mr. Watson and finally met his gaze. I walked straight to where he was sitting with a fellow man of the same age by appearance"Oh pretty, you've arrived sooner than I expected" He welcomed me. I was still a bit puzzled with his use of the word 'pretty' while his appearance betrayed him but I didn't give it too much thought because maybe that's how city men talk
"Yes sir, how have you been?" I responded
"I'm good. You look like a snack, I kind of forgot how beautiful you were the other day we met but it is all making sense now" he said leaving me in entire shock
By appearance I am short, my skin is dark and soft, uplifted eyes, round lips, well shaped.. In fact I am the true definition of an African shape.. Everything is on its right place but it sounded awkward when he complimented my appearance.. "Thank you sir.." I said
"You are beautiful indeed, please sit.." He said while scanning me like he wanted to see my blood vessels and the inner organs.
" How is your mother doing?" He asked"She is fine sir.. all thanks to you" I responded
"Welcome, please make yourself comfortable.. have a drink.." he insisted
"I'm fine sir, thanks... I don't drink.." I responded
"Infact I might be young and reckless but I know exactly the side effects of alcohol" I topped up felt genius
"Wow.. you are indeed smart, I love it.." He smiled
I kind of ran out of patience.. "Sorry sir, can we discuss the matter now? Because I left my mother sleeping and I am worried she might be needing some help"
Mr. Watson looked at me for a long time like he was figuring out something then smiled a bit and said.. "I have no intentions of delaying you but I thought you were an adult who could just read a man's mind and figure out what he is craving for.."
"Excuse me?" I was shocked.. indeed shocked but he was the only help left so I had no other option than to stay calm and behave..
"Okay sir, please let us negotiate on the request... I promise to pay back as soon as possible.. I swear.. let thunder come and strike me down if I'm lying..""Hahahhahahha" he laughed so hard, "You are so funny, I love it", "Okay.. you said 80 million right?"
"Yes please.." I said confidently
"I adore children who would go extramile just for their parents.. I'll give you 75 million free, you'll pay back 5 million. I would have given you all of it free but I want you not to be lazy, so you'll pay 5 million back when you'll get it.. I won't give you any time limit.. how's that" he offered something which I least expected from him
I was super excited, tears streaming down my face.. I knelt down and bowed.. "Sir, I don't know how to even thank you.. you are heaven sent.. Thank you so much"
"No sit down please, it is not a big deal... You'll make me feel embarassed" He insisted
All this while, his fellow agemate was quietly following up our conversation and said nothing
"Oh! By the way, this is my best friend and a business partner.. his name is Rowland, please meet him" He introduced
"It is nice to meet you sir, I am Oliva.." I introduced myself
"Thank you Oliva, it is my pleasure meeting you.." He smiled at me
"I left my room earlier to meet this friend here, so I have the briefcase in there.. can you do me a favour and get it for me.." Mr Watson begged
"Its okay sir, I can get it for you.." I responded courageously
"Room number 101 please, here's the key.." He handed me the key
I walked confidently towards the room that he directed me and Opened the door. Oh My Living God!!!! I did not believe what I found in there.. Four muscular men!! Four with their chests bare. I was scared to death and a sudden thought came to me that maybe I entered the wrong room. I made an attempt to run out to confirm
"Hey pretty, where are you going?" I was asked loudly
What would you do if it was you in this situation???? Leave your comments, I would love to hear the solutions from you !!!
Don't forget to vote and to share!!
Love
