“So what can I do for you, young lady?" Andrew asked. "My name is Lily, and I am here to apply for a job in your company." Lily pushed forward her credentials towards Andrew for a review. "I can see you have good qualifications here, but you lack working experience," Andrew said to Lily. "Actually, sir, I can..." "That's it; we currently don't have any vacant positions for now," Andrew interrupted Lily. "Maybe some other time," he added. "Please, sir, I can do any kind of job, even if it is to clean your desk and serve you coffee every morning," Lily pleaded with a dim voice. "I am sorry, but there's nothing I can do for you. However, I will try as much to keep your contact details. I may likely reach out to you some other time," said Andrew. ======= Lily Martins is desperately in search for a job, not to earn for a decent living but to save her dying mother whom is battling with stage four cancer. Her last hope is the prestigious company in the city owned by Andrew Murtough but despite her efficient and good qualifications, she was declined.

As heaven will have it, Lily was called for a tough and unexpected job role by the Andrew who rejected her - to babysit his son. For Andrew, it was a daring decision he had to make to keep his son away from his ex-wife while for Lily, it was a no option job she had to take to save her mother.
