From downstairs, she could clearly see the three people looking down at her through the large floor to ceiling window at the second floor of the five-storey building.
Her gaze was completely fixed on the three people standing there.
But amongst those three, she was only interested in the young man standing in between the two others—A young lady and a young man, both in their late twenties.
'That's him. The Bastard' She thought to herself as she looked at the guy in the middle.
He was called Hwang Thomas, Tom for short.
She thought back to the file she had been looking at for a couple of days now.
She wanted to compare what she had read to what she was currently looking at now.
Name: Hwang Thomas.
Age: Twenty-eight.
Hair style: Jet Black slicked back undercut with sides shorter than the middle.
Facial features: Pretty dark sideburns, perfectly arched brow, pointed nose with a tiny mole sitting in one corner that looked like a nosering, sparkling brown eyes, nice lips.
Lisa scoffed as she remembered every single detail.
What was so special about being handsome? It was no wonder he could not keep his thing in his pants.
She continued to observe his every movement.
He had the taut body of an athlete and merely looking at his skin, one could tell he was from a really wealthy family.
She saw him turn to the lady on his right and laughed at something she said.
When he turned, she saw a diamond earring perching on his left earlobe. She also remembered that from the record.
His long eyelashes fluttered about when he laughed. And the laughed exposed his perfect dentition.
'What an idiot' She cussed under her breath.
If she didn't have such a good vision, she wouldn't have been able to notice every single unnecessary detail about the Sissy.
She saw him laugh again. The lady beside him probably must have said something amusing because the other young man laughed also.
Ever since the three of them appeared, they had been a lollipop inside his mouth.
Even the lollipop seemed to annoy the hell out of her.
The several pictures of him she had in her apartment, there seemed to be a lollipop inside his mouth in almost all the pictures—Probably an habit.
'So irritating. I hope he dies of diabetes' She cursed.
His hands never leaving his pockets, he took a step closer to the man beside him.
Since the lady was now left alone, she looked down at Lisa.
Lisa was fast enough to move her gaze before Anna caught her staring.
Lisa recognised her as Kang Anna, Hwang Thomas' childhood best friend. Only child and heir to a prestigious cosmetics company, and was currently engaged to the Army General's son.
'Need to be careful around that one' Lisa reminded herself.
Anna was quite simple. Her blue dress was modest; not too revealing, but sexy. Her black hair fell across her shoulders and on her feet, were a pair of silver heels with straps.
The last of the Trio was Song Joel. He looked more American than Asian. Just like his friend Thomas, he was a big time playboy.
His family were into business, but it seemed he was not interested because he focused on writing instead. And was currently a bestselling author.
Unlike Thomas who wore a casual tee-shirt and faded denim with a sports shoe, Joel's blue shirt was neatly tucked into his grey pants and on his feet, were a pair of black oxford shoes.
Their joyous laughs made her even angrier. Especially those stupid laughs of Thomas.
Even though she could not hear them, she did not want them laughing every time!
She had killed someone simply because she did not like his smile.
She felt like stabbing her dagger into his heart and watch him bleed to death.
For weeks, the organisation had been preparing the right candidate to be his bodyguard; Someone who would monitor him and easily have the access to his family's house which was always so strictly secured.
But all of a sudden, the idiot had asked for a female bodyguard instead!
Unfortunately, she was the best candidate for that mission. And here she was trying to please some Mfs.
"That was amazing!" A masculine voice suddenly broke into her thoughts.
The voice belonged to Mr Adam, the owner of the prestigious bodyguard company in Country A.
She bowed immediately she saw the middle-aged and formally dressed Mr Adam.
She also bowed to greet the middle-aged man beside him. He was called Hwang Zhendan— A contestant in the upcoming gubernatorial election.
It was at that point that Lisa remembered she had been 'fighting' with a group of trained bodyguards and had beaten them all up while she was watching those three upstairs.
"What do you think Mr Hwang?" Mr Adam asked him with a big smile plastered on his face.
"She is good. Hard to believe she passed every single test without getting hurt" Mr Hwang praised with a bright glint in his eyes.
"Of course she is! She is our very best and would protect the Crown Prince with her life." Mr Adam assured him before both men laughed at the joke.
Lisa tried her best not to scoff incredulously when she heard that statement.
It was only a matter of time before she killed both the Emperor and Crown Prince.
Speaking of 'Crown Prince', she raised her head to look at him. And for the first time, their eyes met.
He stared unblinkingly for a few seconds before the corner of his mouth curved slightly in a smirk.
He turned to look at his two friends again and said in a low voice.
"She is Cute...and dangerous" He added with a sly grin.
"Told you he's up to something." Anna said to Joel.
Lisa finally said something for the first time, and it was to Mr Hwang.
"It would be my utmost pleasure to work for your family."
She said modestly offering a deep bowing.
When she raised her head, she looked at Mr Adams who seemed to secretly communicate something to her with his eyes and she instantly got the message.
Shall we begin?

Let's keep soaring :-)
Thanks.
"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.
