I stuff my hands in my jeans pocket and made my way at the end of the hall where my boss, Thomas Styles called for me.

I was about to get in when the guards stopped me and extended their hand for me to hand my weapons to them.

I pull out the gun from my back pocket and hand that to them. I was about to go when they stopped me again with her hand extended as always. I roll my eyes and bring the small gun out from in my breasts. I raise my hand and let them check. "Fine?"

They nod and let me in. I get in to see my boss with a huge grin on his face. He is an old man but is really intelligent. His mafia group is really well known here in England.

"Well well, Ruby dear. I'm highly impressed with your last assignment in China. So, let's get you to a harder assignment. Shall we?" He smirks and motions me to sit in the chair in front of him. I oblige him and sit comfortably on the seat.

"You do still have some weapons with you. My idiot guards can't detect those. Right?" He asked me. I nod without any hesitation. He waits for me to bring out the weapons. I was about to bring out them when he stopped me.

"Wait, my son needs to see this." He stopped me. I furrow my eyebrows in confusion. "Your son?"

"Oh, right? I didn't tell your next assignment." He laughs. I'm just guessing what the next assignment is and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna survive this shit or whatever assignment.

"Yes sir. You didn't tell me." I clench my jaw and wait for him to talk. At my remark, he just raises his eyebrows and smirked.

"Impressive. Well, you know I'm the greatest mafia leader in England. But there are some mafias around the world that are off to kill it off by making me surrender. They wouldn't able to do that. But they are now after my son. My son, who is my weakness, Ruby. I want you to protect him at all cost. There will be no other bodyguards but you are to stay close to him always as I trust you more than anyone." He said in a stiff tone. I just put the words in my ear and let it go with the other.

"It's hard for me. I wanted him to live a simple life like all regular people. But I don't know how they come to know about my son which I'm still researching. His safety is now at stake as long as I live. You've to stay with him as long as my son is out of this whole mafia hunt." He said which made me gulp in a lump in my throat.

"No new assignments after this?"

"Yup."

'I've to stick with it like forever until this whole thing is out?"

"Yes, Ruby."

"It can even take more than a year or two or forever?"

"You betcha." He snaps his fingers and smirks at me. I throw my hands dramatically and lean back on the seat.

"No serious enemies." I sigh in a crying tone.

"Woah, they're serious, Ruby."

"No enjoyment in a fight."

"What's there to enjoy in a fight?"

"Just babysitting a guy." I close my eyes at the cringe thought of babysitting someone.

"It's called protecting my son from mafias."

"He's probably gonna screech at the sound of a gun shot. How can I survive?" I rub my hand down my face in frustration.

"I don't know about the gun shot. But he sure does screeches like a woman at the sight of a cockroach." He says placing his finger on his chin in a thoughtful way.

"Oh God!" Who the heck gets scared of a freaking cockroach!?

A sound is heard at the opening of the door. The guy who I assume is my boss' son walked in. He is wearing a casual t-shirt and skinny jeans with Gucci boots. He has curly brown hair with some locks falling in front of his eyes. After paying a good attention I can see the mint green emerald eyes in between the locks of hair. He smiles widely at my boss and a dimple made its way on his left cheek.

Boss stood up and embraces him in his arms. He then looks at my direction with a wide grin.

"Son, meet Ruby Hayden, your assassin."

"Ruby, meet Harry Styles, my son."
