"You’re coming to work with me as of today," Hayden proudly announced before smirking a little at me.

Come…again?

"No…I can’t…I’m busy…" I managed to say as I attempted to close the door in his face.

Obviously, that didn’t go very well. A battle of physical strength wasn’t what I excelled at, apparently. I have to visit my grandmother at the hospital, and I’ve got work to do for university which meant that I couldn’t just go to work with him every day.

"You’re busy?" Hayden asked, curiously.

"Yes. I have to visit grandma in the hospital and then I’ve got to work on my artwork…" I replied honestly.

"Oh, I see. We can drop by to see your grandma during the day, and I’ll try to get off work early…like in the afternoon or something…so that you can come back and work on your art. Sounds good?" Hayden quickly proposed with a smile.

That sounded too convenient and easy for me to be convinced.

"I…I’m not sure…" I said, suspiciously.

"Let’s try it out for today. I’m sure it’ll work out," Hayden said confidently.

The key point that I wasn’t getting was why he wanted to take me to work with him in the first place. It wasn’t my life’s goal to study up on how to manage a mafia gang.

"I don’t…" I began to protest.

"Shower and get dressed. 15 minutes. If you’re not done, I’m dragging you out even if you’re naked," Hayden stated as he looked at his watch.

"You can’t be…" I said in shock.

Ok...he’s serious. He is dead serious!

Without wasting another second, I turned and almost ran into the bathroom. 15 minutes!

…

The Torex Company headquarters. I never knew that it was this big and grand. Arching my neck back, I looked up at the sparkling skyscraper that stood in front of me. It’s so high that I couldn’t see its peak and so big. Everyone, including me, knew that the Torex was a very successful conglomerate.

However, it was hard to believe that the mafia ran their business in a place so out in the open like this.

The building looked like any normal state-of-the-art business complex, located smack in the middle of the business district. Standing proud and tall in the midst of other legitimate corporations was the Torex mafia gang’s headquarters for business operations.

"Impressed already?" Hayden asked from behind me.

"I guess…I’m impress at how this place looks so legit…you know…" I replied.

"Are you suggesting that my family business isn’t legit?" Hayden asked, feigning shock.

"Well…" I whispered. What more can I say?

I mean, you guys run a mafia gang and other shady-related business. So, don’t blame me if I don’t think that it’s legit stuff.

"Come in. You’re not planning to just stand there all day, are you?" Hayden teased.

"Ok…" I mumbled.

"Don’t worry. You’ll figure out how things work around here in no time at all…" Hayden said reassuringly.

I followed Hayden into the lobby of the large building. There were so many people walking about, all dressed in fancy suits and business dresses. They all seemed busy and in a hurry as they headed for their destinations.

"This way…" Hayden said as he placed a hand behind my waist.

I walked along with him, and I could feel many pairs of eyes on us and it made me feel slightly nervous and out of place. Hayden must have felt my body stiffen because he whispered into my ear.

"Relax. It’s probably not usual for them to see someone so beautiful walking along with their boss," Hayden whispered before he winked at me.

Based on the way that I was dressed and my lack of make up due to the harsh 15-minutes prep time that he had given me, I was sure that they were not staring at me because of my outstanding beauty. I kept that to myself and let Hayden lead me to the elevators.

"There are private elevators that we can use but I prefer to ride along with the others. You see, you might meet someone that you know, and you’ll appear more connected to your employees, right?" Hayden said softly to me.

"I see…" I whispered back. I guessed he was right.

When we got into the elevator, I was shocked at the number of buttons that were inside. So, which floor are we going to exactly?

Hayden just stood there as the elevator ascended upwards. The elevator stopped at designated floors and people got off and got in.

"Hayden, which floor are we going to?" I asked.

"71st floor" Hayden whispered into my ear.

"Ok…wait…there’s no button for the 71st floor…" I said with confusion after I had failed to find the button with 71 written on it.

Hayden just smiled at me. The elevator finally made it to its highest floor, by that time it was only Hayden and I left in the elevator. I followed Hayden out, unsure of what to do next.

"The 71st floor is strictly restricted so it’s not accessible by the common elevator. You need special clearance to even know where the elevator that leads to that floor is located, and then of course, there are other security measures in place. Anyways, follow me," Hayden explained.

"I see…" I muttered.

I guess this wasn’t a normal business building after all…

…

Soon we arrived on the 71st floor and Hayden dragged me by the hand to a very large room that was his office. The room had everything it in and it might as well have been called a mini suite. He even had his own bedroom with a king-sized bed attached to his office. I walked around and poked my head to inspect all rooms with interest.

"Your room is so big…" I commented.

"Of course. I’m like the CEO here or something…" Hayden said, proudly.

That would have sounded more credible without the ’or something’ part at the end.

"What do you actually do here? Normal office work?" I asked, curious.

"Let me explain from the top…" Hayden said as he began his explanation.
