Episode 3 - The Contract

"What do you mean by be

your Girlfriend?" Lisa asked curiously, hoping for a logical answer.

"What? I mean what I

meant. Girl-friend. I just want to have a girlfriend. I only have

boyfriends," Max arm crosses.

"You are Gay?!"

Lisa gets up from the chair from shock. "I thought you were into girls.

And you want me, to be your lover" Lisa pointed herself.

"No-No! I mean I only

have a male friend, no female friend." Max flushed as he shook his head.

"You mean, I'll be your

female friend, that's it. I thought you addressed me as a traitor." Lisa

again sits on the chair. For some moment the room goes silent.

"Okay let's say this,

you will be my slave for 6 months or leave McNeill Clan as their head."

Max's tone comes back to normal.

"Oh" Lisa stays

silent. "I should get going then. I will inform you after 24 hours."

Lisa got up and went outside.

'She got it that easily, She

changed' Max was still thinking about Lisa.

"Lisa we have a

problem! Mily is injured very seriously. Her dad pushed her from the staircase.

And she's in the George Int. hospital now. You've come here ASAP!" Aidan

said on the phone, Lisa was on the car, driving it. And suddenly Aidan called

her.

"What!" In flash,

Lisa turned the car and rushed to the hospital. George Int. Hospital was about

45 minutes from the spot Lisa was moving, but she reached there in 15 minutes.

Lisa got off the car and called Aidan.

"Aidan, I am here where

are you?!" Lisa roared out of tension.

"5th floor,  she's inside the ICU." Aidan choked when

he told her.

"Ok, wait there I am

coming." Lisa rushed to get the lift. She pushed the lift's buttons many

times, but the lift didn't come. So she took the stairs. And in the half to 5th

floor, Lisa was about to slip out of rush, but Chloe catches her.

"Boss, please watch

your step," Chloe said as she holds Lisa.

"Thank you,

Chloe." Chloe released her, as Lisa was starting walking but her ankle

twisted and she fell on the floor.

"You are so

ditsy." Aidan scooped her and placed her on a bench.

"Thank you, Aidan,

Where's Mily?" Lisa started looking for Mily.

"Lisa, Mily is inside

the ICU. She was maltreated and tortured. She got thousands of bruises. And her

father did those. That moron. When the people from the rehab came, they found

Mily unconscious and her dad was sleeping soundly." Aidan sat beside Lisa

and explained. "Lisa, don't worry Miley's out of danger, the doctor told

me a few minutes ago."

Lisa didn't say anything.

She knew that if she didn't send Mily to her home that night, this couldn't be

happening.

"Hah, It feels like we

are with a human welfare organization. Who can tell that we are the McNeill

Clan?" Aidan joked. "Our outfits, our outfits just speak

casualty." "I don't miss those days that I murdered someone. It was

decades ago."

"It was decades ago,

when dad was the head. Murdering people isn't my thing. You were 16 years old

when you killed someone. I also think that I am turning the Clan into Human

Welfare. Aidan, I think I should quit the Clan." Lisa said, looking at the

floor.

"No Lisa, you are

suitable for the head. After Uncle Declan passed, he gave you the full duty of

the head. And you can't deny it, right?" Aidan explained, "Even so,

the whole clan will be rotten if there is no Lisa."

Lisa didn't say anything, as

usual, she was quiet.

.

'Knock' 'Knock' Aidan

knocked at the door.

"Lisa, are you

okay?" Aidan came inside the room of Lisa. It also unusual for Lisa to be

present in her villa.

"Yes," Lisa was

looking at the contract as she was sitting on her blood-red bed.

"Your bed it's

red," Aidan said as he sat beside her.

"Why didn't you see my

bed? You are working with the McNeill Clan from 16. You should have come to my

bedroom.

"I had. But it's weirdly red

today." He patted the bed. "So, what is reading?"

"Nothing. They don't

you have work, if you don't have any work, then go visit Mily, for me."

Lisa looked at Aidan.

"Ok, if you want to

avoid me then, avoid me. I am not demurring." Aidan got up and left.

'Be your slave or leave

Clan. Hmm…Max Marino, I knew that you would get revenge. Ok, I have no

objection, of what you want. I am just guilty that they insulted you.

Therefore, I should give what you want right?'  Lisa smirked as she thought.

.

*Ring* *Ring* the bell of

the door is just ringing.

"Coming, coming"

Max was drying his hair, he opened the door.

"Pizza here." A

delivery boy is here, the boy is wearing a cap so his face can't be seen

clearly.

"Mister, this is your

pizza" the delivery boy hands over the pizza box, "And here is your

contract!" That boy threw a file and that file landed on the face of Max.

"Ouch!" Max

thought he was blind for a few minutes.  Then when Max removed the file from his face, he seemed very confused.

The delivery boy pulled off

his cap and wig.

"Lisa?! Ahem…I mean Ms

McNeill?!"  Max was shocked seeing

Lisa in disguise.

"I'm here to give you

the file and ask you that, "Is this job only stays in office or rolls

inside your Condo?" Lisa asked politely, arm crossed.

"Both, Office and

Home." Max mirrored Lisa, he also arm crossed.

"Well, I thought that

being your slave is easier than leaving the clan," Lisa said.

"So are you going to

get inside or what?" Max asked as he was about to close the door.

"I have finished my

speech, so I think, I should go. Bye, Mr. Marino." Lisa was about to go.

"Wait!" But Max grabbed her hand when she was going.
