The Business Proposal [III]

On hearing the bullshit from my mouth, Chloe was furious. She didn't get any sleep last night and she even didn't return home to her daughter, whom she left in Mazikeen's care, and came here in a hurry.

She was not erupting just because of the good meal and coffee, it had calmed her mind and exhaustion, she had never tasted a simple breakfast that was this tasty.

Max Level cooking was no joke, it even calmed the hunger of symbiotes.

I saw Chloe glaring at me with obvious anger, I thought that I had overdone a bit, I was in Deadpool's body but was not completely him. Original Deadpool generally didn't care about others' feelings except Vanessa's.

"Detective, don't be angry, what I said is true, and thought that our neighbors got confused by the deadly fart to gunfire. Ok, why don't you search our home for any gun, I know our neighbors would have said that the sound came from our apartment", I said while signaling toward our rooms.

Van showed a worried expression, I just took her hand and pat it to calm her down. Seeing confidence in my eyes she relaxed her body on the sofa.

Lucifer had a jealous look on his face watching our interaction, he looked towards the busy detective and shook his head, and sighed in resignation.

After their romantic kiss, the relationship between them seems poised to finally go further than a platonic friendship and needed a push.

Chloe on the other hand, sighed and searched our rooms but didn't find any, Lucifer also used his ability to see through walls to search for hidden compartments.

While searching they saw a white little wolf, swaying its filled tummy left and right while walking and sniffing its new home.

This scene further reduced Chloe's anger. She came back to where I and Van were sitting and apologized, "Sorry about barging into your apartment first thing in the morning, it seemed like someone filed a false report".

"It's okay detective, many people were jealous that I came back alive", I said second part in a low tone but the devil heard it. He didn't care and I won't tell them.

She nodded and was about to leave, I stopped the "Mrs. Decker I want to discuss some business with your partner, why don't you come and join us, I will make you a cup of coffee".

She thought for a moment and chose to stay due to the delicious coffee.

I went to the kitchen while Van and Chloe talked about yesterday's incident, while the devil has eager eyes and wants to know what business I have with him. He looked around the apartment and concluded that I was dirt poor but as he find me interesting so he agreed to listen.

I came just after a few minutes, they were surprised by my fast arrival. It surely takes more time to boil the milk than the time I made the coffee. They don't know about my technomancy skill.

I sat opposite them after distributing the coffee, and said, "Mr. Morningstar, I was planning to open a restaurant and was going to look for locations today but when found Lucifer Morningstar, the owner of the most luxurious club in New York, LUX, standing at my door, I decided to let you taste my cooking and propose to rent a floor in the building that you own just above your club".

I looked at the devil and saw him smiling, "Mr. Wade, I would say that your offer is good but are you sure it is good to ask a devil for a favor, I believe in the rule of giving and taking".

I smiled and said using slutty voice, "Oo Naughty Devil you can't have my body as it had been already claimed by my wife and I can't betray her trust".

I received a blow on my head and the smile on Devil's face disappeared as his eyes scanned my body from top to bottom.

I turned around to look at my assailant and asked in an irritated voice, "Are you the reincarnation of Nami?".

Van ignored my comment as she didn't understand the meaning of it.

Chloe smiled seeing our interaction and looked towards Lucifer.

"I might have asked for your body if you met me a year ago but now I only want you to cook for me and for the people I tell you for free", the devil said while remembering the taste of the food that I served.

"I can agree only agree if it is not more than 5 people a day excluding you, if you agree then we shall discuss the price of renting or selling the floor", I state my condition.

Lucifer accepted my condition, he was a chill guy, he loved my cooking and he excepted my offer, he spoke again, "We could discuss the price, before that I want you to cook me several dishes that I order, it is to confirm that you would not ruin my pub's reputation".

"One more thing can you afford my floor", Lucifer said while looking around our apartment.

Vanessa and Chloe were also having the same thought.

Vanessa knows that I was a mercenary but didn't know how much I saved. I never bought a house because I had no reason to do so, I was also on missions and couldn't stay in one place for a period of amount of time.

I had around 100 million dollars in my foreign account. The amount was huge because of my skills and the guarantee to have the work done.

"Don't worry just say the price", I said with a young master of the peng clan's tone.

"10 million dollars for the purchase and 100,000 dollars per year for the lease", he said with a mocking undertone. He thought I was joking.

"I would like to buy the floor, call me when you are ready for the property transfer", I said while signaling Van to give her number as I don't have any mobile phone.

All three people were surprised when they heard my serious tone. Lucifer took the number and then I started to bargain the price and finalize it to 9 million dollars.

I also asked for the contact info of some property dealers from Lucifer, to buy a new house using my savings.

Chloe and Lucifer left soon after our discussion.
