Man “Alone"

Chapter 13

As the doors opened Funke was met with a sight that left her speechless , this was no ordinary Vip Room this was equivalent to a palace dining room with a long table filled with food that could feed about a hundred people and still remain the finest wines were on display with servers on stand by ready to serve and at the end of the room stood Tokunbo dressed in a black suit and white shirt while facing the window looking outside .

' He really likes looking out window .' thought Funke to herself as she remembered how Tokunbo was looking out the window when they first met.

" You look beautiful." said Tokunbo as he turned around to face Funke with a smile on his face .

" Thanks." replied Funke.

" Please sit ." said Tokunbo as he walked towards her seat while pulling it out for her .

" Well aren't you a gentleman." said Funke as she took her seat while placing her purse on the table.

As Funke and Tokunbo sat down at the elegantly set table, the city lights twinkling behind them, Tokunbo couldn't help but smile at Funke's radiant beauty. She looked stunning in her red dress, her hair styled perfectly, and her smile lighting up the room.

"you're looking good ," Tokunbo said, his eyes locked on hers.

Funke blushed, feeling albeit flustered . "Thank you, you're quite handsome yourself," she replied, her voice playful yet you could see the seriousness in her eyes.

The maître d' poured them wine, and they ordered their meals. " oh thank you." said Funke as the maitre d' poured her a drink .

" So did you really have to send a make-up crew to my house ." asked Funke.

" Well you can't blame me I just don't want you to look like you did at the office this morning because I thought that was how you dressed." replied Tokunbo.

" Well you just called me in the middle of the night saying something so outlandish and creepy and you also sent Jennifer who just started Banging on my door as if she wanted to tear it down and after we settled everything you still sent a make-up crew to my house as if all of the previous intrusions were not enough ." said Funke .

" 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 .

“Jyst 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 .
