Xenia's Pov :
Gosh where is he even finding such accurate stickers from?I can already see him pouting pitifully,looking back at me with puppy eyes.
Me : Aunty has been busy lately Eli.Aunty didn't forget you.I just joined my work so i can't take out time to meet you.But i will visit you when i have some free time okay?
Your Little Ancestor : Okay mommy!Eli will wait patiently.[An obedient panda waiting]

The next morning
"Brother Adam?"I say in surprise seeing him leaning against his car in front of my building."What are you doing here?"
He smiles and open's the door for me."Nothing just thought of spending some time with you.It's been a while since we got together and spent some good times no?"
I shake my head and get inside."You guys dropped me off last night in case you forgot."
"That doesn't count.That cockroach was with us."He say's starting the car and i slap his hand playfully."Hey!She is your sister."
"Unfortunately."He says with a sigh."By the way,do you have some time tonight?"
"Why?"I ask curiously.
Sure it's been a long time since we spent some time together.Other other being my best friend's brother,Brother Adam is also a very good friend of mine.
"Old Madam Creed asked me to bring you over for dinner tonight.She wants to thank you for taking care of Eli.So,do you think you have some free time tonight?"He asks and i shake my head immediately."No need Brother Adam.You know i would have done the same if it was some other kid.There's no need for inviting me to dinner."
"Don't refuse me like that.She really wants to thank you.Nothing else.Do me a favour and say yes?"He requests and i frown suspiciously."Why?Is there more to it?"
I know i am right when he sighs in defeat."She has been trying to set me up with her grand daughter.And trust me when i say,she is worse then Fiena.So i kinda told her that i already have someone i like."
Set him up with her grand daughter?
Now i am interested to see what kind of girl she is to make Brother Adam run away.
"So you want me to act like your date?"
"I told you everything.You can't refuse now Nia.You have to help me."He says seriously as if it's a matter of life and death and i chuckle. Seeing him serious."Fine,i have some free time tonight anyway.Send me the time and address later."
He pulls up in front of Cosmiv and gives me a thankful grin."No need for that.I will pick you up after you are done here."
"Fine,i will get going then-"Wait,here you go.I know you have a habit of skipping breakfast but it's not good for your body.I brought you your favourite sandwiches.Have them while working."He say's handing me a bag with the logo of my favourite restaurant.
The bag is still warm as i hold it in my hand.
It's so nice to have a brother.
My heart flutters a little from the warmth of being cared for and i flash him a thankful smile after getting off."Thanks brother.You are the best.Drive back safely!"
He drives away and i head in with the breakfast.
~~~
"Ready?"Brother Adam ask's opening the door and holding out his hand towards me.
Behind him the huge fifth floored mansion stands tall with grace and power.Guard's are everywhere and it feels like i have entered a top secret area.
I look at his hand and then at the expensive dress that's hugging my body perfectly."I still think my clothes were just fine.Maybe i should get changed?"
After picking me up from office he insisted on bringing me to a private boutique where i changed my dress and got my make up done.
None of it,i wanted but he was stubborn enough to make sure i didn't come over in my Zombie like state as he called it.
I mean,what else can you even expect after working in the lab for the whole day?Coming out looking like a princess?
Yeah, zero chance of that happening.
But still,i was at least comfortable in my clothes.This dress however isn't making me comfortable.
"Nope,not happening.You look stunning like this Nia.Trust me,it's not too much."He says pulling me out of the car gently.
"Yeah,nice coming from a rich young master like you."I groan and he chuckles."Don't be nervous i am here to take care of you."
"I am not nervous."I say looking around as he brings me inside the huge mansion.
"Yeah,your hand isn't clutching mine like its a drowning life straw."He say's and i realise how tightly i have been holding onto him.
"I-it just,i am sorry brother."
"No worries.Let's go inside."
