Man “Alone"

Chapter 14

*Okay I admit I did overstep a bit but you do have to admit Roxanne and her team did a good job." said Tokunbo.

" Yes,she did do a good job ." said Funke as she remembered all that Roxanne did .

“Just asking but how much does her services cost ." asked Funke.

" Nothing I can't afford ." said Tokunbo.

" That was not an answer ." said Funke.

" well if you really want an answer it was just about half a million naira." said Tokunbo as he picked up his glass while taking a sip of it after giving it a little twirl

" WHAT!!, wait you are telling me you used Five hundred thousand naira just for this ." said Funke a little shocked after hearing what Tokunbo said .

" Could you stop shouting and just eat your food ." said Tokunbo as he calmed Funke down while the servers brought the food to them .

" Okay, but you mean to tell me ther Five hundred thousand is not much to you ." said Funke as she began eating..

“Yes, it is not much honestly but with the fact that it was an amount that could have done more for people that needed it than to just use it in just one night." said Tokunbo.

"That does not really help much but at least you understand the worth of money ." said Funke.

“Of course I understand the value of money,just because I am rich now does not mean I was always rich." said Tokunbo.

“Oh so you were once poor." said Funke.

" Yes I was ." said Tokunbo .

“ But really you were on e poor and now you are rich and the Three families and the other corporations and gangs did not try and stop you from getting to this point of power." said Funke.

" How do you know that?."asked Tokunbo as he narrowed his eyes while facing her.

" This is going well won't you say the same Rodgers." asked a woman donning a Blue Ankara with Blue Gele on her head . she was sitting on a chair while facing a screen that only showed the video of the room wee the date between Funke and Tokunbo was taking place.

" The young master seems to have found someone he truly loves.but we have to be on guard and to keep monitoring their movement especially her so that we know if she truly is in love with him or just after his money ." said Rodgers.

" Yes we have to keep monitoring her and her movements." said Aunt Nike.

" You haven't answered me how do you know that." asked Tokunbo.

" I just do and no matter how many times you ask me I won't tell you."said Funke.

" okay I am just going to tell you that what you just said is a secret among the real powerhouses in this country and for you to say that means you either have connections with powerful people or you are one and judging by the looks of things you don't seem like the latter so you must be the former ." said Tokunbo.
