âHoney, Iâm worried someone might hurt you. Weâre in the open, but theyâre hiding in the shadows â hard to guard against. How about letting Leaf Fiona protect you?â
Olivia Jenkins was having breakfast, and she didnât immediately respond. After a pause, Daniel Marshall continued, his tender eyes holding a hint of expectancy as he looked at Olivia Jenkins. âIâve asked Leaf Fiona to keep her distance, to give you your freedom. After what happened before, Iâm truly scared. Iâm scared that something might happen to you, scared that you might leave me.â
Olivia Jenkins lifted her gaze and her gentle eyes met Danielâs, âDonât involve Leaf Fiona. Let her stay in Shallow Bay with grandma. Those who want to harm me already know about Leaf Fiona and Aria Douglas and are prepared for them. Get me a new bodyguard, someone who appears sophisticated and demure, just like my female secretary, capable of fooling the bad guys.â
Daniel raised an eyebrow, a smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth, his expression remaining inscrutable.
âSimon Howard, let them in.â
In an instant, Olivia was taken aback.
The women trailing behind Simon Howard were lined up, each one of them beautiful, wearing high heels, and dressed in lively, youthful attire that radiated energy.
Olivia blinked, looking at Daniel, âHoney, are they all bodyguards?â
Daniel nodded earnestly, âYes! You can pick any you like. Theyâll cooperate with you and ensure your safety.â
Olivia smiled goofily, feeling like Daniel had played her.
Olivia wasnât angry. Instead, she felt sweet being taken seriously by Daniel. He had seen through her thoughts and intentionally egged her on to speak up. This man was astutely sharp!
âTheyâre all beauties! Itâs a bit daunting for me.â
âHoney, if youâre not satisfied with them, I can find others for you.â
âThey can disguise themselves, speak multiple languages, are highly educated and adapt quickly. They are a group of top elites, returning from comprehensive training abroad. I guarantee each of them wonât cause you any troubles. If you need their help, they can also assist you in an emergency.â
Employing such top-tier bodyguards would cost at least a million dollars per year. Daniel was really serious about her safety. This unconsciously touched a soft spot within Olivia.
Olivia got up, wrapped her arms around Danielâs neck, and gave him a kiss. Olivia chuckled sweetly, waves of warmth surging her heart, âThanks, honey!â
âAs long as youâre safe and sound, everything is worth it.â Daniel kissed Olivia on the forehead, wrapped his arms around her, and walked over to the line of female bodyguards.
At eye glance, Olivia chose a bodyguard with a youthful face.
Instantly, Daniel burst out laughing, approving eyes on Olivia, âHoney, your eye for detail is so sharp. Valerieâs youthful face has fooled many. Sheâs actually the toughest amongst the female bodyguards.â
Olivia studied Valerie for a moment, feeling satisfied with her pick, though a hint of confusion lingered, âShe shares the same surname as Simon. Could she be a relative?â
The usually serious-faced Simon emitted an intense aura, his face alone was intimidating enough, âMadam, youâre right, sheâs my cousin!â
Olivia looked between Simon and Valerie, âYou two seem so different. Your cousin is gorgeous and likable!â
Valerie couldnât hold it in and giggled.
Simon shot her a look, and Valerie immediately stopped laughing.
Olivia didnât mind, in fact, she quite appreciated the authenticity.
Olivia needed such a trump card by her side, âFrom now on, youâre my personal secretary, letâs go to work..â
