Lincoln what the fuck happened?" Adrian asked Lincoln when they got back to the warehouse together with Hayley.
"Andrew's cousin got shot. Andrew is blaming it on Hayley. He said she has to pay," Lincoln replied.
"How? What happened? How did it get to that?" Adrian asked.
"Ask her," Lincoln said pointing at Hayley.
"You! It's your first day and you have already messed it up for me! Do you know what you have done! And how did Andrew's cousin get in all of this!" Adrian blurted. "Explain what happened before I lose my patience!" Adrian snapped.
"Andrew wanted me to strip naked and dance for him so I refused, and he called in his cousin Andrew," Hayley replied trembling.
"You don't even know what you are saying! You are confused as hell! Secondly I told you to do whatever he ordered!It was part of business!"
"I know what I am saying! Andrew is the other Andrew's cousin. They have the same name. Secondly I respect myself sir!"
"Oh, so you want to act tough hah! Do you know whom I am little girl!"
"Yes! You may be the boss but I have my standards too," Hayley replied.
"You bitch! No one talks to me like that!" Adrian said raising his hands ready to slap her. But something stopped him. He couldn't slap her. His hand just hang on the air unmoving. What the hell!
Hayley stood there her eyes tightly closed waiting for the slap but nothing came. What happened! She thought to herself. Opening her eyes slowly, she met Adrian's eyes his hands hanging on the air sweat trickling down his face.
"Continue with the story! I need to understand everything!" He said bringing his hand down.
That was odd. Lincoln thought after observing that.
"So, Andrew's cousin came in and I was not expecting it to be him," Hayley explained.
"Expecting it to be him! Do you know the cousin?"Adrian asked.
"Y...eees I do. We have a history together," Hayley said remembering the time he had met Andrew.
Flashback.
"Watch where you are going!" Hayley blurted at the guy that had just made her drop her fruits.
"I am really sorry mum. I never meant for that to happen. I was kind of in a hurry," The guy replied.
"Mum! You are calling me mum! Are you insane! Am a teen you douche!" Hayley snapped at him.
"I am really sorry. I had not taken a look at your face," The guy said slightly laughing.
"Oh, you are laughing now ha!"
"You can call me Andrew by the way," Andrew said suppressing a smile.
"I ain't in need of your name!" Hayley responded.
"Nice to meet you! And you are really funny. I like you already," Andrew said grinning hard at her.
"Keep your silly comments to yourself. I have some fruits to sell,"
"I can help you sell the fruits. Maybe that can make up for dropping your fruits," Andrew said picking up the tray.
"Wait! You said you were in a hurry!"
"That can wait! Charming girl comes first,"
"Oh, so you flirting with me now,"
"Let's say, sort of," He said smiling at Hayley.
"My name is Hayley,"
"Nice name Hayley. It soots your pretty Angelic face,"
"Thank you! So what are you doing on this sides of the street! You're looking pretty classy to me to hang around here,"
"That can come later! We have some fruits to sell,remember," Andrew said.
After that meeting, Hayley and Andrew began to see each other consistently. She told him about her background, her siblings, her parents death but to him he never mentioned anything.
"Andrew, you never tell me anything about yourself? Why?" Hayley asked Andrew one time.
"My life is not interesting Hayley, but at least I do have an interesting person in my life, and that is you. I love you Hayley. Since I met you I have not been the same again. You make me laugh, I am always happy when I am around you, and..,"
"Andrew.. Wait! You are taking things too quick. I..,"
"No, Hayley! Please! If you want to know anything about me I will tell you right now. I won't hide anything from you anymore. I did not want to tell you this because you would have been afraid of me Hayley and I wouldn't want that to happen my love. You need to know something about me!" Andrew said.
"What is it?" Hayley asked.
"I have this sickness that I am undergoing treatment,"
"What type of sickness?" Hayley asked him.
"I... don't know how to call it but I become violent sometimes. I forget the person around me and I...,"
"Become violent!" Hayley said stepping backwards.
"Don't run away Hayley. With you I am always on my right senses. I can never hurt you Hayley. I love you,"
"No. Thank you for telling me! You have to stay away from me!" Hayley said to him.
"No! No! You are my only hope. I am always better when I am around you! You can not abandon me Love!" Andrew said stepping towards her.
"Andrew! You have to go! And stay away from me!"
"We were happy before! I thought you loved me too! Now that you know the truth you are pushing me away! Ha! Don't do this to me! I won't take it lightly! You will destroy me Hayley!"
"I can't Andrew! I can't! We are done!" She said running away from him,"
He never came back. All she heard was that his condition had gotten worse and he had to go for further treatments in India. She had felt guilty at some point and regretted abandoning him in his condition. She loved him.
End of flashback.
"...And so, Andrew learnt I was the Hayley that abandoned his cousin and he got mad. He was about to shoot me but his cousin got in the away and got shot instead," Hayley finished.
"How is his condition Lincoln?" Adrian asked looking from both Hayley to Lincoln.
"He is stable. But the cousin is pretty mad. If he presses charges we may get exposed,"
"That will not happen! I will have to talk to Andrew myself! And you! I am not done with you! For now you can go. I will deal with you tomorrow. I have had enough of you for today," Adrian said.
"Yes sir!" Hayley said stepping out of the office.
For a moment she missed her siblings. It had been a long day for her. Andrew had been shot. If anything happened to him, she would not forgive herself.

"What took you so long Leo?" Adrian asked.
"Traffic man. What happened?" Leo asked.
"My uncle is paying a visit. He will be here any minute. I want you to be there so that he can understand well why I did not go to Colombia to sign that deal. I think he knows," Adrian said.
"I hope he will not go ballistic over us. He is one hell of a man when he is mad," Leo said.
"Yah, the hell he is. That is why I need you here. I can not handle him alone,"
"And what is that I heard with the men about Andrew getting shot?" Leo asked.
"Boss, your uncle has parked up,"A guy said emerging from the door.
"Thank you! You can leave,"
"We will talk about Andrew later," Adrian said.
**
"Uncle," Adrian greeted his uncle as he entered the office.
"Adrian, Leo, you have some good explanation to give," Joe Omarion said to them both angrily. "Why did you not go to Colombia Adrian?"
"Uncle, we can not trust those guys. Well, Leo and I did some investigation and discovered that they just want to manipulate us,"
"Why are you making up things Adrian. I worked with those people long before you joined me. They are good business people,"
"Leo, convince him,"
"Sir, you have to believe us. Since they discovered that you are no longer in charge, they want to take us down and overthrow Adrian. We have to cut ties with them,"
"Hmm I'll find out about that myself. You are safe for now. Otherwise, if proved wrong you'll be on the first flight to Colombia tomorrow, Adrian," Joe said heading out.
"The hell I will be going to Colombia," Adrian said once his Uncle was gone.
"Your phone is ringing man,"
"Its Andrew...Hello,"
"Adrian Grey! I am sure you do know why I am calling you," Andrew responded.
"What do you want in exchange Andrew. Of course you can not press charges,"
"The hell I can. But maybe I can put something else into consideration,"
"And what is that?" Adrian asked.
"The girl. I want to buy her off!"
