CHAPTER NINE

"NO"Martha said strongly.

"I can't pay you ahead"Princess said dropping her folded arms.

"Then i can't do it.I deliver food but they have to pay before it is delivered.We can just exchange money for food but that's not how things work,it's policy"

"So you refuse to do it?"Princess questioned.

"Yes,unless you pay ahead"

"Fine.I will pay you now"Princess said and then brought out her phone.

Martha gave her the account number and she sent fifteen thousand to it.

"Now,ten thousand for wasting my time and argueing with me"

"Are you..."Princess started but then held her cool.

"HMMMM"She sighed loudly as she sent another ten thousand to the account.

"Recieved.Now..."Martha was about to speak but was interrupted by Princess.

"Don't you dare"Princess threatened.

"Now,we are done with the deal"Martha said with a beaming smile.

"Good,it was nice doing business with you"

"You too"Martha said and then they shook hands professionally.

"NOW,WHERE IS THIS TARDY WORKER?"Martha suddenly shouted.

Princess shook in fright as she stared at Martha that was getting off her seat angrily and walking to the receptionist.

"You have not gotten your meal,have you?"Martha asked the receptionist.

"No,she hasn't come"

"Oooh,i hate tardy replacements"

"She will soon be here,probably"

"She had better be. For your sake,i will start delivering again" Martha said smiling to the woman.

"Thank you" The receptionist said almost immediately.

Martha shined her teeth to her and then went back to Princess who was still on her seat.

"His picture" She said opening her hands to Princess.

Princess searched through her handbag and brought out his photograph.

Martha looked at it and a mocking smile came to her face.

"You sneakingly took this picture,didn't you?"

The picture was a mirror snap. When they started drinking,she remembered that she wanted to take a picture of him for her friend to see.

She looked at him and thought;

'He won't allow me to take the picture'

She looked around and saw a mirror facing Vincent. She took her phone and took a picture of him in the mirror and smiled with contentment.

"I have sent you the money,just get me details on him" Princess said seriously.

"You are a stalker" Martha said to Princess.

'She is the one who's job is to follow him around,how am i the stalker?' Princess soliloquized.

They were both there for an extra ten minutes. Princess was waiting because curiosity got the best of her. She wanted to see who Martha was waiting for in the hotel meanwhile Martha was there waiting for the extremely late replacement deliverer.

After exactly ten minutes,the new deliverer arrived.

"Hello,delivery" She said and simply gave the bag to the receptionist and wanted to leave when Martha said;

"Is that all you have to say?"

"Who are you?" The new deliverer asked, eyeing her.

"Your worst nightmare" Martha said in a scary tone.

"You are sick" The new lady said and then turned around to walk out.
