"Do your men report to you everything that I do?" Alex heard her asked him.
He wondered where she was going with this question, but he was willing to oblige her by answering her truthfully. Well, he had nothing to hide anyway.
"Just only pertinent information about your safety." He told her, glancing in her direction.
"Oh, ok." She replied back but with slight hesitation. She wanted to ask more, but she could not think of a better way to rephrase her question without sounding offensive.
"My men don't report to me what you do or where you go to if that is what you are asking." He finally looked at her directly in the eyes to prove that he was telling her the truth. "I only asked them to make sure that you are secure at all times."
His men were only there to assure him that she was always safe and not spy on her. But he could only guess that she had a bad experience with men trailing her from the way her father had over-protected her.
I hope to make you smile today...
