MISS BILLIONAIRE MR POOR

chapter 8

ELLA'S POV

We entered the restaurant , we were given menus to select what we want , I had pancakes and coffea , will others went with sandwiches and coffee.

“So where to ? ” one of the chefs bearing Linda asked me

“Let's head to the market ” I replied

The blonde guy whose name is Thomas took the weeel while Eros sat in front with him. The atmosphere was weird maybe because the back consisted of only girls that didn't know how to talk but who knows.

“I sell live octopus right here , come get at the best prices you could possibly find”

“Hey you guys I can tell you are new here come closer and see what I sell , they are all authentic, all natural., all from the sea, frozen,live just tell me which you want I can get it for you” One robust looking middle age man came out , smiling like Buddha, 'well fed' spoke loudly of him.

' Good morning sir ' I greeted

' A very good morning to you foreigners, please come in let's talk inside ' gestured us to his Building, that had armed men's in all possible positions.

He noticed that we didn't move when we saw his men . “Ho ho ho nevermind about them , you see they are there to get rid of unnecessary drama , y'all safe I pay them , they are my boys so you don't have to worry, they are armless come on in..

He walked in and I followed suit, others followed with the guys at the rear, the building looked not too much on the outside but said otherwise when we entered, workers moved tro and Fro carrying crates. or sacks or using little machines to transport thier goods from one side to the other end where trailers were packed.. ' Hey move your sorry ass now and get going or you won't get your pay ' shouted a plumpy man who sat on the table at the center of the ground floor, watching the workers moving about and barking out commands time to time..

We climbed up the stairs, Entered a spacious room which I assume is is talking room cause this place looks nothing like an office, it had a centre table made of woods, and two Three sitters and a high chair at the opposite side which I assume is his sit.

'Welcome to my simple abode' He said gesturing us to sit down

‘would you like anything to drink? ’ Asked the man

‘No we are good ’ I spoke for all.

‘Hahaha that's to be expected, to be expected ' He laughed out loud

‘ I am Japax You can call me MR JAP, that's what people call me

‘ So how can be of help ’ He said pouring himself something to drink

‘You sure you don't want anything it's pretty cold in this region you know'

'No we all good thanks for the offer' I replied

‘ Alright if you insist, so how can I be off help to you princess' ?

“Hmmm we looking for fresh aquatic animals could supply us some"

‘Oh is that all’ he asked raising his eyebrows..

' Hmmm not really we are here to create something so we need little quantity first , then when we get it we'll request for supplies in large quantities' I saida

‘Oh okay, take them to where they can select' He pointed at one of the guys at the door entrance.

‘ Thank you, we'll meet later ' I said but he did like he didn't hear a thing, just playing with his drink. Since I got no reply I followed the man he picked out.

‘Hey boss hey boss , ' a guy who looks my age shouted ,‘ I swear I had nothing to do about what he said , believe me I have been working here all my life I wouldn't betray you guys , definitely not for that kinda money ’ While moving on the stairs his voice attracted our attention, but the replies he got were stamping of legs on his body wherever was unfortunate. ‘You bastard so if the money was much you were really going to sell us out, ' one of the guys raged out

‘ That's not what I meant , I swear I didn't mean it that way, Leo don't twist my words you know I wouldn't do that ’

‘ Hey hey let's be careful with what we say how will I know what you can do and what you can't am not a mind-reader ' Defended the one called Leo .

While this was ongoing Ashely tucked my top, ‘Erhmm miss ella don't you think we should take our leave I am not comfortable here. The guy leading suddenly stopped his track, lowered his sun glasses,took out his short gun and said ‘If you want to leave here now you have to buy something worth 5000$ , or me and my brothers would have to take good care of you guys' he said shinning his brown teeth.

While I was still considering what to do , a shot was heard , it sounded so close that I was shaken up , the female chefs and Ashely all screamed, but what about the guys I looked back and saw that they were starring at something below , with my shaking legs I walked towards Eros and Thomas to see what they were looking at , pushed Thomas out of the way to see , the sight sent shiver down my spine , the Guy who was begging some minutes ago laid cold on the floor with his Brain shattered in all directions, my legs went soft after seeing it but as I was about to crash on the floor two different hands held me one at my right the other at my left ,

‘ You've got her right? ’Eros thick voice rang out which was the last thing I heard before passing out I think.
