"You think this one would last?" Joel asked Anna curiously as they watched the company's owner and Thomas' father disappear out of sight. Probably to go sign the contract.
"I guess. She looks really strong...and shadowy" Anna added with her eyes still focused on Lisa.
"And interesting" Thomas said with a grin. "Did you see that dark glint in her eyes when she fought with the group? It was as if she was not even paying attention."
"Enough! "It all begins like this and next thing, you want to get her into bed." She quickly chastised him and rolled her eyes.
She was the youngest amongst the Trio— Twenty-six years old, but she was also probably the reasonable one amongst them.
The other two always thought with their pants instead of their brains.
"I don't think he'll try messing with this one." Joel shocked her by saying. And he gave the reasons why he thought so.
"Remember he promised Mr Hwang he would no longer mess with his employees and students. Even if he wanted to, I'm sure he'd remember what his last female bodyguard did to him and think twice about jumping in with this one."
Anna began to giggle. "I remember. Wasn't that four years ago? After getting intimate with her, she deluded herself into thinking they were an item. Was really annoying." She continued to laugh.
"Yea, everyone keeps thinking they'd be the one to succeed in cracking this hard nut" He playfully pushed Tom's head.
Tom suddenly began to laugh but was careful not to drop his lollipop. "Do you guys realise I'm still here?"
"Of course, that's why we're still talking" Joel nodded.
"Instead of being worried about whether or not I'd go to bed with her, you guys should be worried about me instead. Don't you both see what is going on here? Just look at the vigor she fought with. She must truly want to be my live-in bodyguard so badly. But who would blame her?"
He smug smile appeared on his face.
"You must think too highly of yourself. Anyone would kill for that position. Didn't you see the amount your father is offering them? Just to keep having that pay, I'm sure they'll always put in their best to save your life." Anna lectured him again.
"Whatever! But I am not interested in getting intimate with this one. You know how my father is when he gets angry. And besides, this is a very significant time for him so I really have to maintain myself."
Joel smirked. "I hope so"
"I hope so too" Anna seconded.
*******
TWO DAYS LATER:
"I got the files and every documents about you, but I would also like to ask some personal questions since we'd both be living together." Tom said to Lisa who's face was as straight as ever.
Whenever she was this close to him, she had the unexplainable urge to snap his neck but had to refrain herself every time.
All her life she had never been subjected to the humiliation of being a bodyguard to someone; especially not to a Sissy like him.
She went undercover, killed prominent people, broke into unimaginable places, and gradually climbed her way up the organisation's rank to the top five deadliest.
She had only protected one person with her life, and that was her uncle, the mafia gang leader. And he wasn't three years older than her like this Sissy!
Her gaze turned dark as she continued to look at his neck.
Did they think even that stupid money was enough for her?
His father probably thought the money he was offering was something she'd smile about for. No wonder he acted so high and mighty!
She had never had a problem living well. She drove the latest cars, wore designers, and had never lifted her hands to do any chore.
But she had to be his dog now?
'Damn it! Why didn't he just accept a male bodyguard instead!' She cried in her head.
But no matter what, she had to swallow everything. It was for them.
They needed to break into his family's house. But most importantly, they needed to break into the Senate house where the previous governor had hidden his secret safe.
'If that idiot had just told them were it was before things got out of hand, things would have been different.' She cussed the dead previous Governor.
Tom's piercing eyes studied her. Her face was straight and emotionless. She wore only a mild make-up on her face, and a plain black trouser suit on her body. Her long hair was in a pony tail, and on her feet were a pair of black low heels.
But she was pretty. He had to admit. Very Pretty!
She looked really obedient with her hands behind her back as she studied him also. He was dressed casually in a plain black tees and grey pants. His hair was somewhat messy and as usual, a lollipop was inside his mouth.
She really wished she could slap it out.
"What do you wish to know?" She asked in an expressionless voice.
"Kim Berlin. Why Berlin? What were your parents thinking naming you Berlin? You must have been teased a lot while growing up right?" He asked with an amused smile plastered on his face. That smile again! She really wanted to pluck his eyes out.
'Kim Berlin', that was her new identity now. She could not use Lisa since this was a mission.
"They fell in love in Berlin" She lied smoothly.
"Interesting.... I'll call you Germany from now on. It suits you more"
Lisa said nothing.
He looked down at the file on his hand and raised his head to ask another question.
"Not married. So you're single?"
"In a relationship" She lied again.
A relationship? He was actually startled by that piece of information. Who in their right mind would date someone as emotionless as her— well, except for him?
"Quite surprising I must say." He dropped the file and buried both hands inside his pants pockets.
"Is your boyfriend comfortable with this idea? I mean, you, me... living together" He inquired.
"He is" She answered coldly.
If there was anything her organisation was good at, it was providing substantial records even though they were false.
She knew they had done some digging about 'Kim Berlin'
And she had already rehearsed everything about her new identity.
'A twenty-eight years old orphan. Grew up in an orphanage, went to a local school in one of those primitive countrysides in Country A, and took a lot of part time jobs before finally joining the bodyguard company two years ago.'
'Probably why she has such personality' Tom could not help but make such conclusion.
But in reality, everything was the opposite except for the fact that she was an orphan. But she had attended a prominent school abroad instead of a local school, took secret mission instead of part-time jobs, and had only joined the bodyguard company a month back. And it was before she killed the last Governor.
"Good then. If there's anything else I'm curious about, I'll just have to ask you later."
She nodded curtly.
"And I must tell you, I'm kind of a nudist. But I'll try my best to keep it in control now that you'll be living here with me."
He had expected her to blush and start painting wild pictures in her head of him dressed in nothing but his birthday suit. But he had thought wrongly.
She only said a nonchalant "Okay" with her face still straight.
Lisa also liked to sleep with less clothes on, but that freedom had also been taken away from her also.
She wasn't only going to be sleeping in the room next to his, she had to be alert all the time.
Not because she thought he would creep into her bed, but because of the danger that might occur if he dared see her tattoo.
"Anything else?" Her voice was low but almost sounded rude.
"No. You can go rest for today. But first thing tomorrow morning, I have to leave for my morning jog. And you know you're coming with me right?"
Lisa's eyes darkened, but she managed to nod. 'This was all for the greater good.' She reminded herself.
"Then good! Nice to meet you again Germany"
He stretched out a hand to offer her a handshake.
She looked at his hands for a couple of seconds before she reluctantly shook it.
For a guy, his hand was rather soft. But on the other hand, he was surprised by how rough her hand was.
He thought she must have led a really tough life in other to survive.
The handshake was taking quite longer than she wished so she quickly pulled her hands away, bowed to the Sissy, and left him to her new room.
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen.
Please do well to vote for this story.
And also please leave a comment if you've read to this point.
If you're nice enough, you could also leave a review.
PS: I know you're nice *smiles*
Immediately she settled inside her room, first thing she did was to check for bugs or any hidden spy cameras inside the room.
And yes, she did find three listening bugs.
It was always normal to know what your so-called bodyguard was up to; who they spoke with, who they met with and their hidden agendas — especially when they lived in the same apartment with you.
A smirked creeped on the corner of her mouth. She knew how to manipulate these things so it was not exactly a big deal for her.
If she took them out right now, she knew he was obviously going to notice. So she decided to leave them— for now.
The room was large and looked quite comfy. There was a vanity table in one end of the room, a wide window that allowed for the cool evening breeze, a large mirror that was attached to the closet's door, and a desk in another corner of the room.
The large bed was neatly made; dressed in white sheets.
The yellow color of the curtain stung her eyes and she took a mental note to remind herself that she was going to change that.
Deciding to take a shower next, she stripped until she was only cladded in her Grey colored Calvin Klein's matching bra and panties.
She caught sight of her reflection in the mirror and moved closer to it.
If she wasn't already used to seeing how her exposed body looked like, she probably would have flinched back in shock.
Not because of the creepy tattoo on her arm, but because of the scars scattered all over her body, stretching from her collar bone and down to her lower abdomen.
She took in a deep breath and turned around. Looking through her shoulder, she was able to see some scars on her back also.
She had been stabbed, shot, hit, tied, and sometimes even poisoned.
People had tried everything they could to make her lie six-feet under the ground, but she had survived it all.
She did not want to die. She could not die yet. Not until she took her revenge, she was never going to die.
She turned around, untied her ponytail, and gently flipped her honey brown hair to both sides until it scattered about.
She knew she was pretty. She did not need anyone to remind her about that. Her eyes weren't the same color with her hair, they were black. It had always been so weird that she often got teased when she was still a child.
But did she always wear her natural hair out? The answer was No. Most times she went undercover, she did so with different kind of wigs.
Her lashes were long, had glossy lips, full breasts, flat and firm belly, and long legs to accommodate her body's weight.
Her look had made her to easily succeed in most missions were she had to seduce men or women, and it never took long before they fell— which was always the beginning of their misery.
She twisted her neck to the side until she heard it make a 'crack' sound before she walked leisurely inside the bathroom.
From that moment, she knew a lot of things were going to change.
*******
FEW DAYS LATER.
"Thank goodness you're finally here. How did your date go?" Joel asked Anna immediately she sat down on the empty seat beside him. Both sitting opposite Tom.
"Nice, I guess. Jianhong says Hello and promised to see you guys the next time he's around. What did I miss?"
She looked between Joel and Tom who seemed to be lost in thought.
It was quite unusual to see Tom so quiet during their Friday night hangout in their favourite bar so she knew something was definitely wrong somewhere.
"You should talk to him. He hasn't said a word since we got here. His gaze has remained there" Joel cocked his chin to show her the direction he was talking about.
Anna saw Lisa sitting by herself in one corner of the bar. She had a glass of red wine in her hand and looked at anywhere but at their table.
Anna was not surprised to see her there because Lisa was secretly guarding him. She was only surprised to see her all made-up and ready for party.
But her red dress was modest. No part of her upper body was exposed. The dress had long sleeves and ended just by her knees. On her feet were a pair of black heels.
She quickly turned to look at Tom. "What's wrong with you? Is she giving you problem?" She asked him with a worried face.
Joel frowned when Tom began to open up to Anna. It hurt him that he had been trying to know what was up with him but Tom had refused to say a word. But one question from Anna, and he was already spilling his guts out?
"She is strange. Very strange" Tom said thoughtfully.
"How so?" Anna asked curiously.
"She is like a robot without emotion. Nothing seeme to change that stoic expression of hers"
"That's what's been eating you up?" Joel asked in disbelief.
"Of course!" He quickly affirmed it.
"Woah! That's strange" Joel said before taking a sip from his wine glass.
"You don't mean that do you?" The only lady among them asked.
"I know what you perverted minds are thinking, but that's not it. I am only curious because nothing seem to rouse out any emotion from her. Even when I went topless and expected her to at least gasp in shock when she saw how perfect my body was, she just walked past me like I wasn't even there."
"Geez! That must have hurt you man." Joel said with a laugh.
"Wait a minute. Am I the only one thinking rationally here?" She questioned the both of them with a raised brow.
"Why are you suddenly so concerned about how your bodyguard behaves?" She asked Tom.
"Or do you think she's into ladies" Joel asked Tom suspiciously without waiting for Tom to answer Anna's question.
"Would have thought so too if she hadn't told me she had a boyfriend."
Anna slapped a hand on the glass table and finally got their attention.
"There are a whole lot of girls in this world and even in this bar right now that would want to have you to themselves. Why are you so interested in this one who's taking her job seriously? Do you want to put her in trouble?"
"'Put her in trouble?' Who said I was putting her in trouble? I am only curious. I said it before C.U.R.I.O.U.S!"
"And that curiosity would probably lead to something else." Anna snapped back.
"Why are you so against him this time?" Joel could not help but ask.
"Because she's the first lady around Tom who's not in a hurry to go to bed with him. And I like that about her."
"First lady around him? Then does that mean?" Joel suddenly paused and gasped playfully.
"Are you crazy?" She raised a fist and threatened to hit him."We can say she's the second, after me."
"I already told you both that I am not interested in going to bed with her. I only want to know whether or not she has human emotions"
Joel suddenly began to laugh. "Do you have some emotional fetish now?"
Anna also giggled before turning serious.
"You shouldn't concern yourself with that. If you ask me, I think she probably finds her boyfriend more charming than you"
"God forbid that!" Tom sat up immediately.
There was no way his narcissistic self was ever going to accept that.
Looking forward to next chapter?
Do well to leave a comment.
I'm waiting you you all
