Payment For The Ride Chapter 2 Novels & Stories

He replied and I rechecked the card I was holding " Please check it for me" I held out the card to me maybe I was seeing things. " You're wasting my time, woman!" He half yelled and collected it from me. " It's Ryan Enterprises at Ace 8, we've passed… What sort of dream am I dreaming in broad daylight ..now I've to pay more money. I'm screwed. " Please take me there," I said painfully... I held tightly to the money before paying the driver as I wasn't sure of paying such an amount.

Not counting the bills, I just fold it and hand it over to the driver “Ms, I told you it is my treat” “I insist” “I will not accept it. Go buy yourself some stuff. Eat in a good place” Smiling, I really hope he has a good life. And also to his son… I hope he also finds happiness… “Then it is not a payment for the ride but payment for your help” “Help? I did no such thing” “You do, Thank you… sir…” “Alfren” “Thank you sir Alfren” And before he could even push back my hand as he won’t accept the money I gave him. I put it down on the seat beside him and smiled.

Why was I still conscious? I watched as Rosalie punched her bed in frustration. She replied to Ethan's messages perfunctorily before washing up and preparing to sleep. The next morning, my family went to the graveyard and left immediately after hastily attending my funeral. Rosalie changed into nice clothes and opened her conversation with Leo. Feeling anxious, she edited her message repeatedly, typing it with much care. Then, she finally sent it to Leo. It read, "Leo, I have important news for you. It's about Heidi. Can we meet?"

The taxi driver said and they frowned. "We are paying for the ride?" Helia and Rendall asked in unison and the cab driver began to laugh. His laughter turned to a frown when he saw that they were serious and after much bickering, they paid him $124 and scowled at him when he asked if he could keep the change. They left the change with him nevertheless. ********************

"That is a good idea but I doubt if it is possible to meet him." "How did you get him? We can plead with the old cab driver who helped you to connect us." Nevertheless, Alloy shivered and recalled, "I have not fulfilled my promise and it's almost two weeks." "What promise?" He asked anxiously. Alloy narrated how he gave him a ride and the unsettled payment. Mr. Adam felt that the bill would not be a hindrance and should be settled at once. "That won't be a challenge. I will arrange for your payment advance. Before then, I will lend you the funds to settle him. Is that okay?"

When I remained silent, he shoved the paper back at me. "That’ll be five hundred dollars." "It’s a twenty-minute drive," I snapped, my irritation flaring. "I checked the map." I didn't mind paying, but he can't possibly think I'm dumb enough to be cheated off five hundred dollars. "Well, guess who’s behind the wheel? Me. Not G****e. You’re welcome to get out and find another ride, lady, but I doubt anyone else will be willing to drive you into Michael Knox’s territory." After glaring at him for a while, I gave up. I didn't have time to go and find out.

I silently covered the rest to uphold her image. This time, too, she clearly thought I would play along. “Mabel, the money you gave me is only enough to visit this place,” I said calmly. Mabel’s face soured. She suppressed her anger and asked, “What do you mean? I gave you so much money, and you brought us to a dump like this?” I sneered. “I don’t think you understand what ‘so much money’ means. You only sent me $400 total. You really think that’s enough to get us out of the country?”

"Hold on a second, please." I gave the driver instructions and, in a serious tone, interrupted him before he could say anything. I hurriedly got out of the taxi. Almost running to my feet to get inside the gate. I could tell the driver was confused, but I did not have time to explain myself. I'm just embarrassed at my appearance but I am able to pay him the exact amount. I have never before encountered such an embarrassing scene. He does not have to worry because I will pay twice as much for him. He does not have to believe that I am fleeing because I do not have enough money to pay for the fare. In case my bag is missing, in the meantime I'll borrow it from Hailey first. Before I think anyt

Hope you’re enjoying it? After sending the message I knew the effect it would have on her so it was best I got money from her. There’ll be a cab outside your gate in the next five minutes, pay him for the ride. After deleting the messages, I returned the phone and asked the driver to go towards Rodri’s compound and he did. When we got to the gate, he stopped. “We’re here ma’am and your bill is seventy five dollars.” He adjusted his mirror and said, “cash or…”

Chapter 28 Marinel’s POV I QUICKLY got out of bed. I’m always so slow to get moving. I almost tripped in my hurry. After I finished everything, I immediately went out of the house because Mrs. Pipay was going to collect payment for my water and electricity bills again. I quickly called a taxi. "Stop!" When it stopped, I quickly got into the taxi, feeling like I was about to leave my soul behind. The driver was as handsome as the one I rode with the other day.
