"I won't try it again sir" He resettled his recent words.
"It's boss...call him boss" Dickson corrected.
"Boss" Alex said the word out.
Raymond lazily stared at him. He blew off an invisible air off his black painted nails.
"Are you married Alex?" He asked and Alex nodded his head answering.
"Yes boss"
"I will respect you for that...by not killing you by crushing your head with my foot" Raymond said nonchalantly.
Alex gulped down the lump in his throat...he made to talk but words couldn't form.
"Dicky" Raymond clicked his finger and Dickson gently opened the bag they came with. Alex seeing the content of it which is a dagger, knife and gun gulped.
"Alexander" Raymond called.
"Yes boss" The man shuddered in fear.
"Do you wanna die by my dagger, knife or gunshot...the choice is yours. But before that bring my money" Raymond said, he made another bubble balloon out of his bubble gum, Alex gulped down immediately for another time.
Why did he borrow money from Raymond of all people...a man who kills without blinking an eye.
"You're wasting my time Alexander" Raymond said and called back his attention.
"I have an offer to make because the money isn't yet complete, the business I did with it failed boss...just hear out my offer" Alexander said.
Raymond stared at him for sometime, he blew off invisible air from his nails.
"What's the offer?" He asked sounding calm, but he is really reframing himself from punching the hell outta Alex now.
"My beautiful daughter" Alex muttered out and Raymond lazily looked up at him.
"Your daughter? Is the money inside your daughter?" Raymond asked.
"No Boss, I want you to keep her... immediately the money is complete I will pay you up and take her back, She is my precious gift that I cherished alot... please don't kill me and take this offer" Alex replied, praying inwardly for him to accept it.
"Are you trying to make another deal with me?" Raymond asked and Alex nodded.
Dickson knew that his boss aren't never taking the offer.
Seconds pasted and Raymond finally responded.
"Let me see your daughter" He said and Dickson slightly widened his eyes a bit but it's unnoticeable.
Alex left immediately.
"Boss" Dickson called.
"Chill Dicky...old man is trying to mess with me...let me see his daughter first...it will be fun for her watched her father die by my dagger, knife or gunshot" Raymond grinned and these words calmed Dickson.

^CANDY'S ROOM^
Candy who was lost in her own world of thoughts, stood before the mirror staring at herself but she wasn't seeing herself.
Her door opened and her father entered immediately with haste.
"You didn't knock father" Candy frowned instantly.
"I'm sorry dear, the man is here, we got to go now...or else he will end me and all that's in this mansion" Alex said and held his daughter's hand.
"So you're sending me off to a monster?" Candy asked... squeezing her little palm off her father's huge one.
She stared up at him with her small cute little eyes.
"He isn't a monster towards a woman especially he won't be to you Angel...do this for me baby, its just a little while. I will come pick you up when I might have gotten his money ready. You know I love you right?" Alex asked and Candy immediately hugged him with tears.
"I don't want to go, I don't to leave you, I don't want to live under same roof with someone as same genre with a monster" She hugged him tight Making Alex to rub her back.
"It's gonna be fine, I will be back for you"

^BACK TO THE LIVING ROOM^
Candy clinged on her father's arm and stepped down from the stairs with him.
Dickson was the first to see them, he wanted to chuckle up but swallowed it up.
Alex has really digged his grave. What will his boss do with such skimpy little girl like that.
"I'm here boss" Alex announced to the man who was busy blewing off invisible air from his nails as he chewed on his gum.
He lazily looked up at Alex, then his eyes travelled to the girl clinged on his arm with her head lowered.
Candy feeling the gaze on her body, raised up her head to look at him...she was awed because for the first time in her life...her eyes landed on another man who is handsome apart from her father.
But the fact won't change that the man is a monster... wait is he the man she will be living with or the other man who stood beside him. The other guy is also drippingly handsome but won't be compared with the man who was rudely chewing on a bubble gum and sun shade on.
She gulped down and immediately lowered her head.
Raymond lazily returned his attention to Alex, he placed his fist on his Chin supporting himself very well.
"Never knew you got a skeleton in your wardrobe" He said so lazily.
Alex blinked multiple times.
"Are all your maids skimpy and with no flesh...are you so stingy to the extent that you can't feed them well?" He asked and this time Candy found it so offensive.
"I'm not a skeleton sir" She muttered out.
"Is your maid talking back at me? You don't teach them some manners?" Raymond asked, directing the question to Alex who held Candy's hand.
"She aren't a maid...she is my precious daughter whom I'm offering to you" Alex cleared the confusion in the air.
The words flewed into Raymond's ears.
He returned his attention to Candy who had a frown plastered on her forehead.
Raymond moved his long beautiful fingers and pulled the sunshade off his eyes.
His sharp silver monolid eyelids eyes which gave his face a stricking aura gazed on Candy. He scanned her from head to toe.
Candy gulped down a little because of how beautiful his eyes is.
A mocking and amusing chuckle escaped from his throat, he blew out bubble balloon from his bubble gum.
He returned his gaze to Alex, his eyes which was filled with excitement was instantly replaced with undiluted furry.
"Alexander Chucks. Do you wanna die by my dagger, knife or gun?"
