"Adrian, do not sell her to him!" Lincoln said to Adrian joining them after the phone call.

"It's the only option we have Lincoln," Leo said.

"She does not deserve it. I was there with the poor girl. She was scared. Giving her away could make it worse. He will not treat her well Adrian. Fight for the girl Adrian," Lincoln said.

"Fight for her! He doesn't even know her. If she were an old member then that could have been a better reason. But she has only been here for only one day and she has already messed things up!" Leo Blurted.

"Yes, he should understand her because she's new! One mistake should not lead to this! She should be given a second chance," Lincoln said.

"Why are you defending her?" Leo asked.

"Stop it Leo! Lincoln is right. I should fight for her. Just as I fight for my men, she deserves it too. She is now a member. We should not lose her to him that easily. I will give her a second chance," Adrian said.

"Okay! Fine! So how are you going to deal  with Andrew?" Leo asked.

"He will have to come up with something else. I will tell him that once he calls again. Lincoln make sure all the other girls did their deliveries and are back safely. Leo, check if Marcus is back. I need to make a phone call,"

"Hayles I think Anna is not feeling well," Her brother Nick said to her once she got home.

"What! Where is she?" Hayley asked.

"She is still asleep. She hasn't gotten out of bed since morning," Nick replied.

Hayley rushed to their bedroom to check on her sister.

"Anna? Anna?" Hayley called to her. "She is not responding Nick. She's got a fever. I need to rush her to the hospital Nick. Stay here I will back," Hayley said picking her sister up.

"Excuse me! Anyone! My sister is sick! She isn't responding. Someone needs to check on her," Hayley shouted after arriving inside the hospital.

"Madam. You're making some noise! There are patients here. You have to wait as the others," The receptionist said to her.

"She needs attention right now! Please madam!"

"As I said. You have to be on waiting like the others. Do not let me call security," The receptionist replied.

"Please madam! You have a small sister right? Even if you do not! Have mercy! Please! she gets sick and she needs immediate attention," Hayley said sobbing.

"You have to wait mum. There is nothing I can do!"

What would she do! If she lost Anna she would die too. Maybe Adrian would help. She had no other choice. He was a man of lots of connections. He would help her little sister. She quickly took a cab and headed to the warehouse.

"Sir, Hayley wants to talk to you and....,"

"Sir! I need your help.. My s...i..sssster is sss," Hayley bumped in.

"Wait! Breath Hayley.. What is wrong?" Adrian asked her.

"Sir! Please help my little sister. She is sick and I don't have enough money to take her to a good hospital. I will do whatever you want sir. But please help my sister," Hayley pleaded.

"I will. Calm down," He said. "Get my car ready," Adrian said to one of his men that had interrupted.

"Your sister will be fine. Here, let me carry her," Adrian said as Hayley handed her little Anna.

Adrian placed her on the backseat as Hayley sat beside her sister.

"Maria, call doctor Watson. Tell him to be there in ten minutes. I have someone he needs to check on," Adrian said on the phone.

"Don't worry little Anna, you'll be okay. Hayley will do everything to make sure that you are all right," Hayley sobbed rubbing her sisters cheek.

"We are here. Let me carry her," Adrian said to Hayley once they got to his mansion opening the back seat.

Hurriedly, he rushed inside his house and placed her on a couch.

"Hello Watson, I need you to check on the child. She is not responding," Adrian said to his doctor.

"Has she been behaving like this? Or is it the first time?" Watson asked Hayley.

"The last time she did that was three months ago," Hayley replied shakingly.

"Just give me a moment to check on her,"

"Maria, show Hayley to the kitchen. You can offer her some coffee," Adrian said.

"C'mon my child," Maria said to Hayley grabbing her hand. "Don't worry, your sister will be fine,"

"I hope so,"

"So, how do you and Adrian know each other?" Maria asked Hayley.

"Well, I work for him," Hayley replied.

"Oh, I see. And how did you end up here?"

"Well, I did not have enough money to take my sister in a better hospital so I asked Adrian for his help,"

"Your parents are not around?"

"My parents are dead. I take care of my siblings," Hayley replied.

"I am sorry my dear. If I knew I wouldn't have asked",

"It's okay, you were not aware. So you are Adrian's ...,"

"...Nanny. Been his nanny since he was a little kid. I have known him all his life, since when he was once not in this world he is in,"

"What do you mean by that?" Hayley asked.

"Well, Adrian was once a good man. Not that he is no longer good but there was a time he was not involved with crime. There was a time he once lo....,"

"Nanny, have you given Hayley her coffee?" Adrian interrupted.

"It's almost ready son," Maria replied.

"The doctor wants to talk to you," Adrian said to Hayley.

"Okay. I'll be right back nanny," Hayley said to Maria following Adrian behind.

"Doctor,"

"You are the sister. Okay, so your sister has anxiety disorder. But she will be fine with time. All she needs is great care and love. You need to be with her all the time for now," The doctor said.

"When will she wake up?" Hayley asked.

"I gave her an injection. She will be awake anytime from now,"

"Thank you doctor,"

"Sure. No problem," The doctor replied picking up his bag.

"Adrian can I talk to you," Maria interrupted.

"Sure. Thank you doctor,"

"What is it Maria?" Adrian asked Maria.

"I don't know how this might sound but I think you should recommend Hayley another job,"

"Why? What other job do I have to offer?"

"She can come work here Adrian. If she has to be by her sister's side, she can not do that and still do your dirty job. Plus I don't think that is her type of job,"

"Why? She is just like any other of my girls nanny,"

"Adrian. Pliz. Do I have to beg you for this,"

"I will think about it nanny," And with that, he gave her a peck on the cheeks and walked out.

Do you think Adrian should consider Nanny's request?
