Chapter 88
Jeffrey picked up the cell phone while waiting for the other person to say a word...
"Are you waiting for me first? oh... forgive me... I forgot to turn off the private number... Where are you" The other person on the call commented...
Jeffrey was still quiet... I was sure that it was a lady's number...
"The voice sounds familiar but I'm trying to figure out who it's... pardon" Jeffrey cracks his head while thinking about who he's talking to.
"Dammit... So soon... It's me... Jane..." The woman exclaimed but yet, but Jeffrey still didn't recognize her.
"You mean... the secretary... My friend told me that both of you have settled... So do you want me to come over to the office?" Jeffrey raps his mouth as if he was talking to the right person...
"Dammit... Jeffrey.. what's wrong with you... do I have to shout first... it's me... I'm sorry... I'm the one that put you behind bars regarding Jennifer being kidnapped?" Her tune slowly depreciates and has this feeling that he'll scream at her.
"Oh... that rich... Mrs. Jane brought about the kidnapping of Jennifer... Damn...Why are you calling me? and why did you put it on a private number..." Jeffrey exclaimed but as he remembers that he has served in prison because of this woman... his voice changed.
"I'm sorry..." Jeffrey couldn't let her complete her statement.
"For? I asked you a question... Why are you calling me and why is your number a private number..." Jeffrey scolded her as Wayne and Gold kept staring at him but they didn't know what was going on.
"Damn... I know I'm not in a position to speak to you right now... but deeply I'm sorry" She inhaled as she pleaded but Jeffrey wasn't in a position to even talk to her.
" Aww... just a romantic word... So you want me to forgive you just like that? It's not happening... Now tell me the reason why you called me?" Jeffrey provoked... with his facial expressions, he got Wayne and Gold worried.
"Please can we talk about this... I'm in the country and... right now... I'm in a hideout... can you come to see me over here... in the next 20 minutes please... honestly, I'm sorry... I just need to talk to you about something important" From the side of the call, it was as if tears were rolling down her eyes.
"So you expect me to trust you... what makes you think so..." I question her while dipping the paper into my pocket.
"Don't trust me anymore... but you know I'm wanted here... so that'll give you a little trust that I'm alone" She was explaining and suddenly, a policeman was coming in her direction...
She suddenly ends the call and wears back her hoodie with a cap...
She texted me the address but something keeps telling me that something is going on.
"Who was that and why did your mood change as you picked up the call?" Gold and Wayne stared at each other before Wayne opened the question to me.
"She was the one that put me in jail... and now... she needs to talk to me..." I was explaining before my phone screen turned on... I looked at it and it was the address of her location.
"Do you trust her... shouldn't we go with you... for safety... yeah... let's get dressed" Gold stood up while searching for a dress to put on.
"Don't worry... she can't do me anything... she probably needs my help to go into hiding... she just entered the town and she's the amount on the wanted list... so don't worry... I'll go alone..." I stood up, putting things in order after scattering them everywhere because of the trouser I was looking for.
"By the way... please take care of yourself... I'll talk to my woman to take care of you... and as for that money... don't spend it... manage it... because I might not come home tonight... Sorry" I left the room as I waved my hands to them.
"He's God sent..." Wayne smiled and rested his head on the bed.
"Honey... please... I have some unsettled business... please... take care of my friends... you can serve them dinner tonight... but don't sleep at their place okay" I walked to her and hugged her before leaving the hotel...
In less than seven minutes, I arrived at the location of the woman...
"Come... Come... over... here... " She waved her hands on him...
I couldn't see her face clearly but I know that someone is calling for me...
I slowly walked to her table and bent my head trying to get a picture of her face but indeed she was wearing a black nose mask, a hood, and also a cab.
"Who are you?" I whisper to you.
"C'mon... what's wrong with you... didn't I tell you to meet me up here... why are you acting strange now!" She replied, knocking my head with her hand.
"Ouch... what's that for?" I screamed while a passerby looked at me...
"Don't question me" She echoed and removed her cap but refused to remove the hood and the nose mask.
"You need my help but you don't want me to question you... who the hell does something like that?" I was about to yell at her but I suddenly remembered that she was hiding.
"I'm sorry" She replies. " Please, I need to clear my name and I don't know how to do that.... any idea..." I was shocked when she asked me such questions because I know it doesn't cost a rich person a minute to clear their name.
"You are rich... you have the money... you have the connection... why meet a low guy like me... Aren't you ashamed of yourself... you put me in prison for months and now the only person you can meet for help is me... Damn," I called on the waiter to get me a bottle of water.
"I'm sorry... I don't know how much to say to you but truly, I'm sorry... " She apologized with her two hands but I didn't buy it because she was sincere.
" What do you want from me... please go straight to the point... I have somewhere to be at the moment" I opened the bottle of water and drank in front of her...
"Are you tasty... " I asked but she shook her head.
"I have money... but I'm not safe... I tried talking to a few of my friends but they all let me down... can I be a free man if you help me, please... I want to go back to my business but right now... I don't know who is in charge" She begged me while holding my hand but I quickly pushed her hands away.
"I don't know why you chose me... what do I have that I can help you with... no job... no friends... low life... c'mon, aren't you bigger than this.. you are sorting your way... Did you even care about how I came out of prison... c'mon... you didn't... know you want me to help you" I laughed and tried walking away because the meetings are pointless.
"Please... sit..." She begged me and I slowly took my seat!
"My friends told me that only Dean has the power to set me free right now and right now... I can't get close to him... " She held my hands and it was becoming irritating the more she continued to beg me.
"Dean! Damn... you know how rude Dean is right... you spend your entire life in jail...Glad I'm out now... can I go now please" I remove her hands again but she forces herself in holding me.
"Please help me... I heard that you are close to Dean now... please help me... I'll do whatever you want...Please... I'm lacking in my business" Jeffrey became more serious as he heard that she can do anything...
"Anything... Are you sure..."He asked while she nodded her head.
"I'll collect the sum of 3 million dollars from you?" I called the amount as if it was not a big deal for her.
"Fine... you got it..." She brought out her cell phone as she stretched her hands to me.
"Just like that?" I asked.... ' She didn't even grumble or say anything... damn... I should have called a bigger amount. ' my inner spirit whispered to me as I collected her cell phone while putting on my account details.
"You see... back then... because of greed you put me behind bars and now... you are willingly giving me the sum of 3 million dollars..." I advised and before I finished discussing I got the alert.
"consider the work done..." Jeffrey stood up and was about to leave the restaurant but she held her hand again.
"When is it going to be over... "she asked, staring at me... with her cute baby eyes.
"Tomorrow noon... just go hiding for the night... Tomorrow will be good news" I shined my teeth on her and left the restaurant with joy.
"If you don't do it... I'll kill you" She yells but I was too far to hear it as everyone stared at her
