A few days later

-

Nicholai was currently dealing with a situation.

"Why were you selling women?" He asked Zane, one of his most trusted man.

"I needed the money."

"You know the rules, they were underage, you disobeyed me and you and I both know I don't tolerate disobedience." Zane laughs.

"What are you going to do kill me?"

"No, that would be way too easy. I'm going to torture you to point where you will beg for me to kill you." He saw a flash of fear in Zane's eyes, it made him smirk.

"But I'll let the boys have their fun," Nicholai said he made a signal for the security guards to come and they did.

"You can have your fun with him, I'm going for a drink."

"Thank you, boss." He nods walking out.

-

Nicholai went to The Infinity. He came here every night since the opening because he liked talking to a certain someone.

He walked over to the bar taking a seat.

"What can I get you, sir?" He smiled meeting Delilah's eyes.

"The usual." She smiles, taking out the bottle of whiskey and a glass.

"So how has your day been so far?"

"Good, but work there was a little situation at work but I fixed it."

"What happened?" He thought about it, she didn't know what he did for a living and he didn't want her to find out, he wanted someone to see him as a normal person, not some rich mafia leader.

"I rather not talk about it." She nods, understanding.

"So have you found a job yet?" He asked. Nicholai had encouraged her to get a job since she decided to get a job in business.

"Everything is full." She sighed.

"Here go to this place tell them Nicholai Anderson sent you." He wrote down the address on the paper, before giving it to her.

"I can't take this." She tried to give him back, but he held her hand.

"You can because I want you to, I see a lot of potential in you, Delilah." She blushed slightly.

"Thank you."

"Anytime, gorgeous." She laughs softly.

"Can we get some shots over here."

"Give me a sec," Delilah told him.

"Nicholai!" He heard behind him, he turned, seeing his sisters, he groaned silently.

They walked over to him. "What are you going here?" Nicholai asked his sisters.

"I could ask you the same thing," Anastasia remarked.

"Does mom know you brought Dream here?"

"She doesn't need to know everything," Ana told him.

"Where's the bartender? Can a shot of tequila and a bottle of water?" Delilah came back, giving Anastasia her tequila and water.

"Can't I get tequila too?" Dream asked.

"No." Both twins said at the same time.

"Tough crowd."

"You're 17." He states.

"How did she even get in the club?" Delilah asked, Nicholai.

"No idea, but how did you get in?" He asked his sister.

"It wasn't that hard just said I was an Anderson." This made Delilah raise her eyebrow.

"What are you guys in some gang." She joked if only she knew how right she was, Nicholai thought.

"No, our family is just well known." He told her, drinking his whiskey.

"Why do I get the feeling there is a double meaning behind that?" She asked he chuckled.

"Don't think too hard on it, Delilah."

"Who are you?" Anastasia asked.

"Delilah, and you are?"

"Anastasia, his twin sister, sadly."

"I'm Dream." Delilah shook both their hands. (Doesn't she know COVID be going around😂😂😂😭)

"Nice to meet you, both."

"Can you guys leave now, Delilah and I were having a very important conversation."

"No, we weren't, so do you have any stories of Nicholai, when he was smaller?"

"No, they don't, in fact, they were just leaving."

"No-" He leaned into Anastasia's ears.

"How would mom feel when she finds out you took your baby sister to a club, filled with alcohol and men not to mention strippers." Anastasia groaned.

"Fine, we'll leave." He smiled.

"Thank you." She flipped him off before turning back to Delilah.

"Before I leave do you want to come to a ball, my brother is hosting?"

"I'll think about it."

"Ok, we're going, Dream, bye Nicholai, Delilah don't forget to bring a date."

"You don't have to go if you don't want to." Delilah crossed her arms.

"It seems like you don't want me to go." He shook his head.

"I want you to go it's just-"

"No, It's ok I don't want to make you uncomfortable at your own party."

"You ca-"

"It's ok, Nicholai I have a lot to do that day either way." He smirks.

"Now that's a lie."

"What no it isn't."

"She didn't tell you the date."

"I was just assuming, and my shift is over." He chuckles watching as she walked out of the bar, going to the door that read Employees only.

Instead of waiting for her to come out, he went in.

Nicholai looked around the lockers for her, when he found her she was taking her bag out of her locker.

"What are you doing in here?" She asked.

He sat on the bench, sighing. "You can come to the party, I'm sorry if you felt like, I didn't want you to be there is just that my family can be a bit much and many important people are going to be at the ball and you don't seem like the type to put on a fake smile and nod." She smiled.

"I'm not."

"But now that I'm thinking about I could invite Ms Dears, her workplace is the address I gave you."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, is someone picking you up?" He asked.

"No, I'm taking a taxi."

"Let me drop you off."

"No-"

"Delilah let me help you." He says, she rolled her eyes.

"Fine." He took her bags from her and lead her outside, going to his car.

"Boss." Leon opened the door for them.

Delilah went in first, Nicholai followed closely behind her.

"Where to boss?" Nicholai turned to Delilah, she told him her address and Leon drove off.

"How important are you?" Delilah asked looking around the car.

"Very, but enough about me, do you have any siblings?"

"I do an older brother and a younger sister."

"How old are they?"

"My older brother is one year older than me and my sister is 3."

"Do you live with your parents?"

"No, but I do visit them a lot."

"You want a beer?" He asked she shook her head.

"I don't drink."

"A bartender who doesn't drink?" She chuckles.

"Just like how drug dealers don't consume their own drugs." He smiles.

He reached over to the fridge opening it, taking out a beer and water.

He gave her the water and opened the beer.

"Thanks." He nods drinking some.

After a few minutes of talking the car stopped.

"I'll see you tomorrow at the bar?" She nods.

"Same time." He nods as Leon opened her door.

"See you then." He helped her out the car before closing it.

He watched as Delilah walked into her apartment.

Leon came back into the car starting it. "Ready boss?"

"Yes, and Leon send someone to keep an eye on Delilah, this is a bad neighbourhood and I want a file on her."

"Yes sir." He drove off to the manor.
