In the basement where my beauty was parked, I headed straight to it while my assistant unlocked it. I opened the door and slid into the passenger seat. I waited for him to place my oversized bag in the trunk while I scanned the contract on the tablet.
Then yawned, closing my eyes to take a nap.
I heard the door open and closed then the wonderful sound of the sweet purr of my engine as I drifted off to dreamland annoyed at the dreams which by now irritated me, assaulting me, for the past few months now.
The outline of the creature, more darkness, screaming, roaring death, hunger and a need to go west far beyond I even knew and look there for something.... it felt like I had to go.
Suddenly opening my eyes I asked Nachari in quietly voice husky from sleep.
"Tell me Nachari would you fly with me to a place far from here on a personal matter?"
"If I am free of course miss," like the capable one he usually was he answered ah
The rumble of his voice. F*ck, but he would be a welcome distraction as I explored.
"Good, then in two weeks, prepare two suitcases for me and one for yourself, all-weather types just to be sure. I will email you the requirements tonight,"
"Yes miss," the vehicle slid into a parking space. After we walked where we had to, I made sure to run over everything in my head again.
At the meeting place, I sat opposite the man and his daughter who wanted us to invest in their restaurant; the thought was good, but there were so many like it that I doubt it would thrive, this area was high end the upper middle class and ultra-rich life here, the cheapest you can get food for was four hundred a plate, a dessert for two and a small glass at one hundred fifty. To rent here alone was two million a month, yup a money guzzler if you ask me, but the location was prime and those that entered were among the ten per cent wealthy.
What even shocked me more I guess because I'm a typical noob (no you just erm yeh I don't even know any more at this point *facepalm*) you had to furnish it yourself with quality, yes if it was hand made they would have made it, if they were the cooks they would survive but as owners, they had no head or a good idea beyond the menu.
"My company will never approve, I will deny my investment, upfront,"
I can cook, I had ideas I wanted to own a restaurant; I thought to myself.
The company will never invest true but I had enough cash from the husband, stalker and Wolf I mean when you are offered cash it'd be stupid as hell to reject it.
Taking a look around I found that in this area I would strive after all it was where elites tended to gather, if not I can just have my husband stalker, wolf and dragon who also knew many high society people and also those I had made wealthy via investing.
I watched the family of three; they sparked an idea, middle class, able to save with the father, mother, daughter and son who was presently absent three million were their only profit, pathetic really but tasting their food yes I could see myself eating from them a little more often.
Japanese usually had good food and added the Chinese mother who knew various recipes for medical soup-based dishes by heart.
I thought yes, both cultures in one would do well, a healthy mix, and prices that catered even to those who can come once a month.
Leaning forward on my hands I gazed at them; "I have money, I had always wanted to own a restaurant. Your home is an hour and a half train ride away. Tell me what if I purchase a home for your family nearby and provide two vehicles so you can drive to and from the restaurant? I will pay the money owed and continue renting this place but the new owner will be myself, you just need exclusively be my chefs for the duration of five years. Your family is excellent at executing the dishes provided, but your business sense would never be enough. Normally a profit should be made, but you have failed miserably in that aspect. As one of the partners at my firm, it is proven that I am good at making money, after all, I am here. In the end, if you agree your family will never suffer, you will have opportunities for your children like never before, but five years you all work for me and only me, no one will harm you within that time and if you wish after to extend then we may."
Finished with my speech, I sat back and took a sip of the bubble tea. It was excellent, but it was not food, so I was not hung up on it.
I see money to be made from them so I relaxed drinking the tea, gaze flitting here and there lazily while they talked in Cantonese among themselves.
While entering this world I had learned several languages and this was among one French, Spanish, Cantonese, Japanese, Indian, Thai and the common English.
"We have nothing father, I have looked her up, even asked my friends at school they had spoken a bit about her. She is well know, one of them had said she was in the papers for being one of the wealthiest women in this state, the top two hundred in the world excluding her husband,"
"She is young, she has the dark skin of them-"
"Does it matter now, we suffer. Our home we left for better with nothing. Mother was disowned, brother works so hard,"
"He can find a wife within the time, you a husband,"
"A home of our own father, an actual home"
"read the contract, we need to check it carefully."
They continued to speak among themselves,
My assistant was extremely quiet, I had almost forgotten that he was there.
The male in question was scrolling through his messages so seriously while I waited as they spoke to me, making sure they were speaking English as to not give myself away, "we will consider."
"You have my email and number, I will be leaving in two weeks I expect the final answer within one week, I am not sure how long I will be gone. So please make sure to review and sign if interested or inform me if you have rejected my offer via call."
"We understand and will comply with what you stated."I didn't shake their hand I mean why the f**k would I?
I didn't bow either, nah instead I nodded, grabbed my s**t and left.
Wow, if someone had a glimpse in my mind they might go crazy, it was truly a mess in there even though I try my hardest to be as normal as I could.
Outside I took a breath of fresh air then slipped into my ride Nachari, closing the door behind me with a light thud.
Slouching, I closed my eyes, then passed out.
Ah, I'm gonna die tragically from starvation ugh I'm f**king starving ah, black thing let me eat you again.
I cried inside.
