Man “Alone"

Chapter 12

" Just a minute ." replied the receptionist in her Angelic voice as she turned to face her computer to check her computer for records.

" Okay a reservation for Tokunbo VIP room on the twenty second floor , please go down the hall and you will see the elevator by the stairs." said the receptionist.

" Thank you ." said Amaka as she went her way while leading Funke as they got to the elevator before making their way to the Twenty-second floor.

" Hey did you see those two women who just went up the elevator now. " whispered a man to another man sitting across from him, both sitting in the Hotel's lobby which was finely decorated as any normal five-star hotel would be .

" No I did not see them ,what about them?." said the man's companion.

" Well I overheard them say that they have a reservation at the he top floor." said the first man.

" No way!!are they by any chance members of any of the families or gangs or involved with any of the big firms or corporations or members of some foreign family ." said the second man with a little bit of shock written all over his aged face.

" No I do not think they are part of any of the three families or the gangs or members of a foreign family ."replied the first man . " But whoever they are they are very powerful because very few people can afford to come to an expensive place like the Cheron restaurant owned by one of the richest families in the country . " said the first man .

" Yes , that is true it seems like we have to be wary of yet another powerhouse or else we will not not even know how we died . " replied the second man .

" I will send a report to the family head and inform him of this new events . " said the second man to the first man as they both stood up to leave .

' We have to start being cautious because we live in dangerous times and we always have to be prepared for the worst to come .' thought the first man as he got into his car and drove off .

Just like those two men similar conversations were going on across the hotel lobby everyone wondering about the mysterious identity of those two women .
