Walking out of the vault, James followed behind, "Boss, concerning the van"
Dylan,"what do you have?
James,"I think they were burglers".
"Someone would dare to rob me", he laughed, "who are they?
James handed over a file to Dylan containing the photos and background of the burglers.
"Find them and bring them to me" Dylan ordered and entered his room.
It was a new day as the Vin Companies was filled with various people sitting at the waiting area.
Anabel walked in as she felt confused, "Why were this much people here", she thought as she walked towards Alyssa, "What's going on? she asked as she stared at their young faces.
"They are here for the Job interview" Alyssa replied.
"Oh, that was today", Anabel exclaimed.
"You know, I do pity them" Alyssa said as she scanned them.
"Why" Anabel asked.
"Because only two gets hired and the rest... hmmm" Alyssa sighed.
"Well, life is a struggle" Anabel shrugged as she left for her office.
Dylan sat in his room smoking a cigarette when his phone rang, looking at it, he knew it was work related.
He switched off his phone as he planned to avoid work for the day.
Standing by the window, he saw four men being led into the vault with their hands tied behind their backs.
In the vault, the men were already seated,
Mark, "have seen this s**t in movies countless times, we're gonna die".
"Are we gonna die Mr?, Mane asked as he looked at Dylan.
"Will you two keep quiet" said Marcus as he had gotten tired of his teams ignorance.
Milton sat quietly as he scanned the environment.
"You know very well that I am scared, and when that happens I tend to talk too much" Mark yelled.
Dylan who had been studying them finally spoke, "I assume you know who I am.
"The rich guy who we tried to rob but failed" Mark slightly panicked.
Dylan smiled as he looked at Mark, "you have one chance, and that is you work for me from now on. He turned to look at Marcus "any questions?.
"No questions" Marcus boldly replied.
Dylan signalled and their hands were untied.
"First, found out the person who had broken into your van, James will brief you" Dylan said and then retired to his room.
Over the years, he had learnt how to spot rare people, these men had done what others couldn't do, even though they had failled, they were still fearless and those were the traits Dylan admired.
After being briefed by James, the four men gathered together at the garden,
Milton,"So instead of dying, we got hired"
Mark, "Who the hell is this man?
Mane, "A tyrant who has brains"
They all looked at Mane disappointingly,
"what?, I mean he is smart" Mane added.
Marcus, "I think we created a mess and we have to fix it, if we want to stay alive".
They all agreed as the exited the Vin's mansion.
Dylan walked around the mansion reminiscing his memories with Delvin, every part of the house seemed to contain one memory or the other.
Switching on his phone, he realised it was time to pick Anabel for their friday dinner meeting.
He smiled,wearing a black shirt with jeans and drove out of the mansion.
Anabel who had finished her work stood outside for twenty minutes.
"aren't you going? John asked as he stepped out of the office.
"Yes" Anabel replied.
"Then let's go" he gestured.
"No" she replied.
John looked at her confusingly "okay", he left.
Dylan's car arrived, seeing it, Anabel pretended and started walking away from the car, Dylan laughed, then came out of the car, he increased his pace to reach her and grabbed her hand.
Anabel turned to look at him, " Let's go" he said as he led her back to the car and drove off.
John who had strolled a few distance, stopped and turned as he noticed Dylan leading Anabel to the car, he smiled and then shook his head.
At a cozy restaurant called Stacks, Dylan sat drunk after drinking 5 bottles, he laid his head on the table and slept, Anabel looked at him angrily for while before waking him up, "Dylan we need to go, it's late" she said.
Dylan raised his head and smiled completely enticing Anabel, she shook her head, then got up to support him to the car.
Taking the wheels, she asked "where do you live? Dylan pouted his lips and pointed at the GPS, she looked at it and drove to the address.
Arriving at an apartment, Anabel looked at the house, "Is this where you live" she asked.
Realising that Dylan had slept off,
she opened the car and then proceeded to help Dylan.
At the Door, She asked for the key code,
"2222" Dylan replied sluggishly, it didn't work, she got angry.
Dylan smiled "0509" he added, typing it in, the door opened.
The interior of the house was quite amazing compared to the outside, anyone seeing the outside will think it is just a normal flat.
Leading Anabel to his bedroom, she dropped him on the bed, pulled off his shoes and socks and lifted a blanket to cover him.
He held her hand and she sat down beside him, "Anabel" he spoke softly.
"yyes" she replied.
"Do you have a boyfriend? he asked.
She smiled "no".
"Can I be yours? he asked.
She pulled her hands from his,"Get some sleep" she said and left the room.
Right outside the door, she held her heart to stop it from beating, she looked back at his room and smiled before looking for a spare room to sleep.
Immediately Anabel left, he pulled off his blanket and sat, with his eyes clear as day.
He had planned to confess to her but being scared that she might reject him, he pretended to be drunk.
Sitting in his room, he picked up his computer to watch the CCTV. He sat quietly as he watched Anabel sleep.
She was close to him but yet so far, he had to try much harder to get to her.
