That made me laugh.
Nora snapped out of it and looked at me, puzzled.
âWhatâs the matter? Is there something wrong with the milk tea or the snacks?â
I managed to stop laughing and responded in a serious tone, âDid you notice anything odd about the bodyguard?â
âWhat? What happened?â Nora was startled.
I frowned slightly.
âI just have a feeling that somethingâs not right with the bodyguard and these snacks.
â
âBut Iâve already had some of the milk tea.
What if itâs dangerous?â Noraâs voice was tinged with fear.
âItâs fine, donât worry.
The bodyguard handed the milk tea to you himself.
It should be safe,â I reassured her quickly.
Relieved, Nora let out a sigh.
I then called the butler over and explained the situation.
I asked him to have the snacks tested for any signs of poison.
Debraâs POV:
The butler quickly took care of the task I set before him.
He even made sure to ask the security personnel at the entrance to pull up the CCTV footage and find out who had delivered the snacks.
His attention to detail was impressive.
When he showed up to update me, he had the footage ready on his phone.
He held it up and asked, âIs this the man you saw?â
Both Nora and I confirmed with a nod.
The butler seemed uneasy.
With a heavy sigh, he explained, âItâs good that you were cautious and didnât eat the snacks.
This bodyguard isnât actually one of our staff.
Someone with bad intentions disguised himself and got in.
â
âWhat? He isnât one of our guards?â I gasped, startled by this new information.

Initially, I had only thought the guardâs actions were odd, and knowing that Andrew and I werenât that close, it didnât make sense for him to send over snacks like that.
I had been on edge, suspecting that someone might have bribed one of Andrewâs bodyguards, so I stayed
extra alert.
It never crossed my mind that the bodyguard would be an impostor.
The butler reassured me, âLeave this to me.
Iâll alert Mr.
Pierce right away and make sure we beef up our security here.
â
I paused, pondered for a while, then decided, âLetâs keep this from Andrew for now.
Heâs still in the hospital, and the last thing he needs is more stress.
â
The butler seemed to understand where I was coming from but still advised, âJust be extra careful and avoid any guards you donât recognize.
â
âI will,â I promised.
With that, the butler rushed off to tackle the next issues at hand.
After the butler hurried away, Nora, visibly shaken, wiped away her tears and expressed her gratitude.
âDebra, thank you! You saved me again.
I saw the spread of snacks on the table and was about to give in.
My greed almost got the best of me.
â
I comforted her with a gentle pat on the back.
âItâs okay.
If youâre hungry, Iâll have one of our own guards get you something to eat.
