After taking her evening bath, and applying the magic touch of makeup that changed her beautiful face to extra ordinary gorgeous, Benny wore a blue crop top and mini skirt and descended the steps to the centre parlour.
A beautiful woman who resembles her in facial look, except that she is fatter and older gapes at the sexily dressed lady and asked, "where are you going again?"
"I just want to stroll out. I am bored."
"What about Alice? It's been a while since she came to visit us."
"I went to her house this morning, and guess what?"
"What is it, baby?.. Don't keep your darling mother in suspense."
"She asked me to sell this wristwatch for her," Benny answered back as she displayed the wristwatch on her wrist to her mother, then smiled as her mother gasped.
"This looks real. Look at the blinking red stones... Oh my gosh. Where did she see it?"
"Yes, Mom. As real as it gets. The red stones were jades, and they were worth a million bucks. She told me a friend gave it to her as a Christmas gift."
"A million dollars. Oh my goodness!"
"Yes, Mom. Let me google the price," Benny hold her mother's hand and pulled her into the parlour, and then gestured to her to seat down on one of the blue cushion chairs, while she sat in her front, brought out her I-phone 14 Promax, and then pressed it for a while.
"I suggest you send some money to her from the sales."
"I already send her ten thousand dollars-. Oh my goodness. I can't believe this!"
"How much does it cost?"
"Each jade goes for a million dollars in the black market."
"How many jades are inside the wristwatch?"
"Twelve, mom."
"Whoa! We are rich... You are having twelve million dollars on your wrist, Benny!"
"Yes, Mom. I need to convert this to cash and we will buy some of the things we need to live a luxurious life."
"Yes, my baby. I know you will make me proud one day," Benny's mum held her daughter in an embrace and kissed her forehead.
"Thanks, Mum. I take after you. You are sharp, cunning and intelligent. And this is the reason why you gave birth to your kind."
"Yes, my daughter. But you need to be careful. Nobody should be trusted when it comes to jewels that are worth millions of dollars."
"Don't worry, Mum. I will be okay. I ain't a kid and can take care of myself."
"You are twenty-two years old, Benny. Even if you are fifty, you will always remain my baby."
"I know mum, but trust me, I have someone who will credit my account with millions of dollars without making a fuss."
"Then remove it from your wrist and keep it inside your bag."
"I will, Mum. I just want to snap with it and upload it on my f*******: page. A jewel like this is rare to come by, and it will increase my status among my followers when they see it on my wrist," Benny answered back with a smile, stood up and kissed her mother on the left cheek.
"Okay, just be careful. This place is swarming with thieves. Don't lose your wrist because of money."
"I won't, Mum," Benny answered back as she stepped out of their magnificent parlour.
"And don't spend any of the money," her mother cried after her, and then added, "we will buy a Lexus car from it, so come back home with the full cash."
"Okay, Mum. Stop shouting," Benny answered back as she stepped into the large fenced area, towards a Toyota Corolla car and ignited the car.
A pale-looking gateman quickly opened the gate, bowed to her as she drove out, and then close the black-painted gate back.
After driving for a while, Benny seemed to have seen what she is looking for and she promptly parked at the roadside and disembarked from the car.
'I need to snap a picture with this priceless wristwatch before selling it,' she mumbled to herself.
A car parked close by is Benny's destination, and the alluring lady sat on the booth of the blue-painted Royce Rolls with tainted glass, brought out her phone from her handbag and begin to snap different pictures in different poses.
'Wow!' Benny exclaimed. 'Five hundred likes in a second... This is amazing.'
As a social media influencer, Benny always lives a fake life to influence her gullible followers. And more display of wealth means more followers, more contracts, and respect among her mates.
Lost in her illusion, she wasn't aware when a man in a Versace suit dropped down from the driver's side of the Royce Rolls, walked closer and announced, "hello, miss. Our boss will like to see you now."
Benny doesn't talk to strangers, but this richly dressed man with fluffy white hair seemed to be different.
Apart from his multimillion dollars suit with gold buttons, his gold embroidered wristwatch and his Louis Vuitton crocodile skin shoes, the man who bowed at her seemed to be connected with the powerful and the super-rich.
"Who is your master?"
"The mafia boss. I bet you have heard of him."
"Of course, I have. Who haven't?"
The mafia boss is known as the hottest bachelor in Arkansas City, and because he lords over a trillion dollars catel, to be summoned by him is the greatest honour that can be done to anyone. Although, this mostly depends on the reason for his calling.
"Please come inside and let me drive you down there. We have been looking for you for hours, and you arrived when I was about to give up," the elderly man bowed, then hurried towards the passenger door, and then bowed again as Benny glanced over her shoulders and hopped inside.
"What's going on?" She finally asked after the euphoria of seating inside a Royce Roll left her.
"You will understand everything when you meet our boss."
Benny shrugged and brought out her phone. She had snapped her previous picture outside the car, and this is an opportunity to snap inside the Royce Roll as well.
And with the caption, 'cruising around Arkansas city in my new Royce Roll,' Benny's notification was more than ten thousand likes when the car suddenly halted in front of a tall black gate.
