Hayley stood there in front of him her eyes closed waiting for him to end it once and for all tears flowing down her face.
"Are you sure about your decision?" Adrian asked her again unsure of what he had just asked. He never gave anyone a second chance. It wasn't the first time a mere girl had refused to work for him and he had never hesitated to shove a bullet. But with this girl, it was different. He couldn't bring himself to shoot her. She was making him weak something he wasn't liking. He couldn't comprehend himself. He was the fucking boss and he never showed any sign of weakness. He was an example to his men. He had to shoot her and end it once and for all and have his men dump her body.
"Okay, so you won't change your mind. It won't be that painful. You will be dead even before you know it," He said pulling the trigger of his shotgun ready to shoot her.
"Wait! Stop! I'll do it. I'll work for you! Don't shoot," She said abruptly her legs and hands shaking.
"Wise decision!" Adrian said walking back to his desk. "Lincoln come pick her now! She is ready," He said on the phone.
He looked back at Hayley who was standing in front of his desk with her head down. She looked frightened in her vulnerable state. He was glad she had changed her mind. Glad! Whatever games his mind was playing with him right now he would ignore it for the time being and deal with it later. He walked towards her and stood in front of her bringing her head up to face him but she resisted.
"Sir," She mumbled.
Touching her hair he slowly moved strands of hair that were blocking her face. She flinched.
"Look at me," He whispered in her ears.
She slowly brought her face up to face him. She didn't want anymore trouble so she just obeyed. He had a gun after all. He was so close that she could feel his breath against her face.
What is he doing.
Her eyes suddenly met his. He wasn't the cold man he had been seconds ago. She noticed his eyes that were filled with so much confused emotions. They were the colour of hot cocoa, sprinkled with tiny flecks of gold like mini marshmallows that were now pierced into hers. For a moment she forgot about how frightened she had been of him a while ago.
He cupped her face gingerly and held her still looking deep into her deep unique eyes. They were a mixture of an emerald green and clover. They were alluring.
His eyes lingered on her face. It wasn't anything extraordinary or significant and yet, he felt somehow magically drawn to those silent features. She reminded him more of Emily.
She will remind me of Emily every time I see her. I have to stay away from her. He thought.
Dropping his hands from her face, he took a step back. The situation was now awkward.
Luckily there was a knock at the door.
"Boss, can I take her now," Lincoln said removing them from their awkward situation.
"Yes! I want you to accompany her instead to Andrew's!" The name Andrew gave her shivers. "Make sure she doesn't run away or anything! And she has to do this perfectly!" Adrian said.
"Okay boss," Lincoln replied.
"And you! Be a good girl!" He said.
Of course, he was back to his old self. Hayley thought. He could never be anything close to good.
Solemnly, She replied, "Of course Sir,"
"Good! You can now leave," He said.
"No! Wait! Lincoln she can not go looking like that! Have Maya apply her some makeup! Aww Those eyes are puffy! Plus she has to look attractive!" He added.
"I do not do makeup sir!" Hayley blurted.
"Well from now on you have to! Lincoln take her!" He ordered.
Hayley hoped it wouldn't be hard as she thought. She had made the decision and now she had to get involved in a world she could have never imagined. She had been very stupid asking him to shoot her and she knew he wouldn't have hesitated. Where would have her siblings gone. There were no good people anymore that they could have had a better life. She was their only hope. And now she had to perform her job well. She had to be good at this.
Walking down the corridors, She followed Lincoln closely behind. He led her into a room that was full of men, Adrian's men, packing stuffs that she assumed were the drugs. There were girls too whom she assumed were the ones doing the delivery. They were pretty, makeup well done. Maybe it wouldn't be bad at all. She thought. They were all dressed in booty shorts, short skirts and jeans showing off their bellies.
"Oh! I assume she is a new one!" A girl said behind her.
"Yes! And I want you to do her makeup! She'll be delivering to Andrew's," Lincoln instructed.
Oh, so this was Maya. Hayley thought to herself. She was pretty with her short blond hair, and several piercings plus tattoos. Awesome tattoos.
"C'mon baby girl. Let us work some magic on you," Maya said excited.
Who gets excited working in a place like this! Hayley thought.
Hayley followed her into a room that was just next to where they were.
"Don't apply too much," Hayley told her.
"Trust me baby girl. I'm an expert in this. By your looks I know just what you need!"
"Okay!" Hayley shrugged.
"You look too much innocent to me. I mean like all the girls here are badass, but you are, I mean it's not like am trying to judge you but...,"
"No! It's okay you're right," Hayley said laughing. "I ain't badass. I did not even Know the kind of job I was in for,"
"Oh sweetheart, Adrian manipulated you of course. He is good at that,"
"You call him by his name!" She blurted shock evident on her face.
"Of course not! He is the boss. Even his right hand men's Leonardo and Lincoln calls him boss sometimes. I wouldn't dare call him by his name in his presence. I am just referring to him as Adrian because he ain't around,"
"Haha I understand," Hayley said rolling her eyes. "He is one kind of a guy. I wouldn't want to get on his wrong side,"
"Don't you even dare sweetheart. Just do his dirty work and obey him. There is no way out of it. He'll haunt you down if you dare run away,"
"I know! I know!"She said.
"Hmm done! You really were missing something out. You're looking just perfect. Your hair colour is pretty much badass to me combined with the makeup." Maya said.
"My siblings wouldn't even recognize their sister," Hayley said looking at herself in the mirror in front of her. She looked amazing. She had been stressing herself much lately not being keen on herself. The girl in front of her only existed back when her parents were still alive. After their death she had pretty much abandoned her looks. No wonder no one ever took a notice in her. Apart from Andrew.
"Now what you need is a little wardrobe change," Maya said leading her to a closet that was just beside them. Picking up a cute short red dress, she handed it to Hayley.
"Is she done!" Lincoln said emerging from the door.
"Yes! Doesn't she look amazing!"
"Come on, follow me," Lincoln said heading out.
"Of course he can not admit it. Go girl you can do this!"
"I'm nervous Maya," Hayley said.
"You can't panic girl. It ain't going to be hard. Andrew can be good sometimes. Well, he can be manipulative but not so much. You'll get through this,"
"I hope so. I don't want to keep Lincoln waiting,"
"See you later. You'll tell me how it'll go,"
"I will," She said heading out hoping for the best.

"Alexandra! There is someone at the door," Mrs Grey shouted.
"I am coming mama," Alex, Adrian's sister replied back.
"Do not keep the person waiting girl!"
"I'm here mama," She said rolling her eyes.
"Leo, what a surprise! What makes you visit us at this time of the day," Alex said to him.
"Ain't I getting any welcome," Leonardo replied.
"Oh, get in! Feel at home!" Alex said blushing. She was always acting awkward when it came to Leo. She had always had a crush at him since when! Since a very long time! But she knew he would never take a liking at her because to him she was too young for his own liking. His voice, his face, his serious lips and shoulder muscles were all her brain would dwell on when he was in her presence. It broke her heart when she thought of it.
"Alex who is it?" Mrs Grey asked.
"It's Leo Mama,"
"Leonardo! Welcome my son!"
Son!! Really mum. He is my crush for Heaven's sake.
"Thank you Mrs Grey,"
"So to what do we owe this visit," Mrs Grey asked smiling at him.
"Well, Adrian sent me,"
"How is my son doing. It's long since he came to visit his parents,"
"He's fine. He has been busy of late," Leo said throwing short glances at Alex. He noticed she had been gazing at him the whole time. He always knew she had a crush on him. He wasn't that blind to notice it. But she was too young. Adrian wouldn't like it if he flirted with his sister. He knew him as a many women man. She was very pretty. He couldn't deny the fact that he was enchanted by her.
"Busy! He should at least make some effort. You should tell him that Leonardo. Okay? Leonardo!"
"Yes? what were you saying Mrs Grey. Sorry about that," He said feeling slightly embarrassed. He wasn't paying attention.
Damn it! Damn it!
"I need to go get some groceries. Alex here can make you some tea. We will talk when I get back," Mrs Grey said.
"Mum I..," She didn't want to be left alone with him.
"Of course Mrs Grey. She will prepare some tea for me," Leo cut her short.
It was time to maybe make a slight move. He knew he couldn't resist her once they were alone especially with that booty short showing off her as*.
