"It's morning Henry." Lydia said happily as her brother opened his eyes, he smiled and rolled his eyes.
"Morning." He replied and Lydia helped him sit up.
"Okay, the nurses will be here to clean you up, I have to go now, i might be back a little bit late today before I get back, is that okay?"
"Sure."
"Okay, bye." She replied and pecked his forehead before walking out.
Lydia head straight to their apartment to freshen up, she got there and took her bath then changed her clothes.
She walked out of her house and head to the club, she got there and met it empty, she frowned and brought out her ohone to call her boss (Miss Claire) when she noticed her sitting at with a man.
She noticed huge men were all standing around the club then she looked outside and noticed the black cars outside.
Miss Claire noticed her presence and waved at her, Lydia smiled and walked to her.
She got to where they were and she greeted them, Miss Claire gave her a sign telling her to sit.
She sat down the short man turned to her.
"She is indeed pretty." The man said with a smile.
"Of course, I told you that I know the best person for the job."
"Indeed." He replied and they both shared a short laugh.
All of it seemed weird to Lydia and she watched them.
"So you are Lydia?" The man asked.
"Yes I am."
"I believe your boss here has already explained all you need to do for you, are there any questions or complains?"
"Yeah, if it's successful and I kill him, I hope I won't get arrested on be in trouble?"
"Not at all, everything will be taken care of, all you have to do is kill him. Any other questions?"
"Yeah, are you really paying me five hundred ion dollars?"
"Of course and who knows? I might change my mind and double it."
"Wow, really?"
"Yeah, if the job is well done."
"It will be."
"Okay, we will be watching your every move with him."
"Okay, no problem."
"But there are three important rules though."
"What are they?"
"Number one, you can not tell him about this."
"I can never do that."
"Number two, you must not fall in love with him."
"I can never do that also."
"And lastly, the most important rule of all. You have the maximum of three months to carry out your job, failure to do so you will be killed and no one will know what happened to you." He said and Lydia froze.
"Wait, what?"
"You heard me right." He added and Lydia turned to Miss Claire.
"Miss Claire, how come you never told me this?"
"Aren't you going to do it? Three months is a lot of time."
"A lot can happen in three months." Lydia muttered and sighed.
"Deal? It's not too late to back out."
"Am not backing out, it's a deal."
"Okay then, you have to sign this papers."
The man said and signalled to a guard with a brief case, the guard got the signal and walked to him with it.
They brought out a paper and a pen, without hesitation or going through it, Lydia signed the paper and the man smiled.
"You can start the job tomorrow, all the details you need will be given to you now." The man told her and gave her a small box. She opened it and saw pictures of Logan Griffo and some papers.
"That is everything you need to know about him, where he goes, the time he goes, his company."
"What about his house?" She asked and the man laughed.
"Logan Griffo doesn't have a house he has houses around New York City, you can't tell which one he stays in every night."
"How sure are you that this information are accurate then?"
"Fifty percent should be accurate and fifty percent ain't."
"Okay."
"Oh, one more thing Lydia, always remember you are dealing with someone very smart, any mistake you make can lead to your death." He said and chuckled which made Lydia's heart skip a beat.
"Sure." She replied and faked a smile.
"Nice doing business with you, have a nice day." He said and stood up, he head out of the club and the guards followed him.
Lydia sighed and stared at the box, she felt a hand on hers and looked up to see Miss Claire.
"It's fine Lydia, everything is going to be fine."
"I hope so."
********
HOURS LATER
"Am back." Lydia giggled happily as she walked into Henry's ward with a bag of snacks and food.
"Hey." Henry called and she sat beside him.
"You missed me right?" She joked and he laughed.
"I didn't." He replied and she laughed.
She brought out the food and opened it.
"I cooked this pasta myself and I got you some snacks, do you like it?"
"Yes, thanks."
"You are welcome, should I feed you?"
"My hands are still working Lydia, not all my body is numb."
"Sorry." She laughed and gave him a fork.
He slowly ate it with a smile and Lydia sighed, it was hard for Henry cause his hands kept shaking but he didn't want his sister to feel bad and cry again.
"Henry, let me just feed you, you don't have to stress yourself."
"Am sorry." He sighed and she smiled.
"It's fine, come on. Open up." She said and put it in his mouth, she fed him till he was okay and she smiled.
"So guess what?"
"Wait, aren't you eating?"
"I ate before coming."
"Okay, what am I guessing?"
"I got a new job and trust me the pay is high and its better, well not really better but its good."
"Okay, you are just mixing words up, just tell me what the job is about and what's the pay?"
"Well, the pay is really high though."
"How high?"
"Like thousands."
"What?" Are you suppose to kill someone?" Henry joked and Lydia froze thinking of a quick response.
"What? Of course not." Lydia laughed nervously and he nodded."Whatever it is, just be good." "Sure." She replied and hugged him.They talked and played with each other till it was time for them to sleep, he slept before her and she watched him for a while before falling asleep.The next day, Lydia told Henry she had to leave and will be back at night, Henry only smiled in response and she walked out. She got home and took her bath, she brought out the box that contains the information of Logan Griffo."Okay, this morning, he is suppose to be heading to his company, all I have to do is get him to notice me." She muttered and walked to her little closet.She was about to pick a slutty wear but stopped."If I really want him to notice me, why don't I make a difference?" She muttered and smiled. She picked a baggy jean and a baggy shirt, she put it on and wore Henry's sneakers. She picked up a face cap and smiled.She looked at the information and went through it."If he doesn't notic
"A dollar?" Logan asked surprised."Yes, I want a dollar." "Okay, give her a dollar." He said to his bodyguard."No, I want it from you, from your personally, like from your pocket." "Sir, we should just teach this rascal some lesson so she won't stalk you anymore." "Who the hell are you calling a rascal?" Lydia yelled and stepped on the bodyguard's foot which made him groan in pain."Here." Logan said and stretched a dollar to her, she giggled happily and collected it."Thank you so much Logan, this one dollar will really do a lot." "If I see you around me again, I might be forced to do what am not suppose to.""Sure, have a nice day Logan." She said and waved, she showed her middle finger to the guards and walked out of the restaurant. "Who was that?" The CEO asked and Logan shrugged."I don't know, probably just a stalker." "Well a stalker can become a threat, you should eliminate her soon." "I will next time I see her, lets get back to what we were saying shall we?" "Oh, r
"It's nothing actually, I fell on my way here." "You really need to be careful, why are you dressed like this?" "Hmm, I just felt like cause I love it." She said and Henry chuckled."I know you are lying but I will let it go cause you don't want to talk about it." "Thanks." She replied and smiled."So Henry, starting from tomorrow I might not be coming to see you everyday." "What? Why?" "I will be busy and I will try to make time to come see you." "Are you abandoning me?" "What? No." "It's fine, I was just teasing you, I know you can't abandon me." Henry said and laughed, she sighed in relief and ruffled his hair."You should sleep after eating, it's necessary.""Sure.THE NEXT DAY "So I have to go now." "Yes, I know.""Wait, why did you not tell any of your high school friends? Aren't they worried?" Lydia asked and he sighed."It doesn't matter if they know or not, none of them cares." "But Stella does." "I broke up with her when I found out I had a brain tumor, I can't w
"So where is my office? What do I need to do? Aren't there any rules cause you have been staring at me ever since you have said am hired.""There are no much rules, just three." "Okay? What are the three rules?" "Number one is that you have to respect me and do anything I say cause it's obvious you don't give a damn about anyone, number two is that you have to be with me all the time until i tell you that you can leave. Number three is that you have to live with me." "What? What? And What?""If you can't do any of it then I can't offer you a job." "But you said am hired already and I can't live with you." "Okay, you will stay anytime I ask you to then, is that better?" "Yeah, how much is my pay?" "Name your price." "Three million dollars?" "Deal." He replied and Lydia smiled happily, she thought about it well and decided that she shouldn't dror depend on the money that she supposed to receive for killing him."So what do I need to do first, am I suppose to just chill and do
"You don't get it right? I have to leave now." "Why?" "It's personal, we both have nothing to do so let me go." "I'm not holding you down but you can't leave yet." "Okay, till when?" "11 pm.""What?" Lydia yelled."Don't yell." "I have somewhere I need to be and it's really important." "I said we are living 11 pm." "But we are not doing anything." "11 pm." She said sternly and she sighed before sitting.********It was finally 11 and Lydia sighed in relief, they both stood up and walked out of the office. "You should get here early tomorrow, if you are late you are going to be punished."Lydia just sighed as her thoughts were clouded with what lie to tell Henry."Do you know how to lie?" She suddenly asked him as they walked out of the company and head towards the car."Lie?" Logan asked."Yes, never mind anyway." She said and walked away, she took a taxi and bought some junk food with the little money left with her.She got to the hospital and walked in, she walked into his
Lydia laughed and held her stomach, Henry glared at her and she tried to stop laughing, she giggled and smiled."Am sorry for laughing, its just really funny." "It's not." "Okay, fine. Am sorry." "Better.""You know what? Tell the nurse you want to take a walk around tomorrow and hopefully you will see her and try talking to her this time, don't chicken out." "Fine, I will try." "Good, now I really need to sleep, am so tired." "What have you been doing? You have never complained that you are tired." "Well, I am now so?" "Fine, get some rest." "What about you?" "Just help me down, am not sleeping yet." "Okay." Lydia replied and helped him down. She smiled at him and sat on the chair.**********THE NEXT DAY Henry sighed repeatedly as he went through the channels, he just wished he had the strength to walk around.He was about to give it a try to walk on his own when a knock sounded at the door.He raised a brow and thought about who it could be. The nurses doesn't knock nei
“You have a meeting now at a restaurant... Wait, why have a meeting at a restaurant when you have a company and an office?”“It's none of your business, who am I having a meeting with?” Logan asked as they both walked into his private elevator. “Mr. Griffo.”“What is the meeting about?”“He wants to make a deal with you, I think about the release of your new product.”“Call him and cancel it.”“What?”“Yes, I have somewhere else I need to be.” “What about me?”“You are coming with me.”“Why are you rejecting the deal?”“Am not rejecting it, am asking you to reschedule it.”“Fine.” They both walked out of the elevator and Lydia made the call to Mr. Griffo’s company about the rescheduling of the meeting.They both got outside and Logan paused before turning to Lydia.“On a second thought, wait here at the company till I get back, you don't have to go with me.” “What? You made me walk down here for nothing?”“Do you have a problem with it?” Logan asked with a stern face and she bowed
“Logan, my man.” The guy yelled happily and walked towards Logan, Lydia ignored them and walked out of the office.“What the hell do you want?” Logan asked with a frown as the guy sat on his table.“Come on, I came to greet my buddy.”“You are such a jerk.”“Says a drug lord.” He joked and laughed while Logan glared hard at him.“When the hell did you get back?”“Yesterday, decided to surprise you at the office.”“Whatever.”“Come on man, am sorry I left without telling you.”“Whatever.”“Dude, you rule this city and out of it, you knew where I was so stop whining.”“Jeez, you are still as annoying as you were.”“I know right? Who is that pretty lady that brought me in here?”“She is my personal assistant.”“Logan?”“Yeah?”“Since when did you start having a personal assistant?”“Since now, what is your fucking business?”“Easy dude, am just curious.”“Whatever.”“She is really pretty though, what do you think?”“Am not thinking about anything and am not in for those things and you kn
