“Sexual harassment?”. Wyatt looked up from the credential papers and gave a questioning look. “What happened ?”.

“Ahh .. “. Wilder turned red rubbing his nape. “It isn’t exactly true. I was falsely accused by my former client’s daughter, she made a move on me and i refused, so I guess, she decided to tell those lies so she can get back at me. Unfortunately, I wasn’t believed so my chief had to take down my position and reduced my rank so that’s why I’m here“.

“Oh. Guess she couldn’t resist the attractiveness”. Wyatt joked in return trying to ease the awkward moment.

But the younger one was already nervous fiddling with his fingers.

Wilder was usually not the one to get nervous or anything but time, it was a different situation.

There is literally sexual harassment in his papers, that was a red flag.

“But look at the bright side”. Wyatt flipped through the credentials. “Apart from the lies she told against you. You have got a lot of compliments from the other people you’ve worked for so cheer up”.

Wilder smiled with a tint of hope that he might actually be hired after all.

He wanted to be hired, he didn’t want to go back to his chief.

“Well before I hire you, you need to meet the person you’ll be protecting”. Wyatt said to him before leaving the room as he closed the door softly.

Wilder looked around the large office noticing how exquisite it was designed.

Wow!

This entertainment company must be worth a lot then.

Minutes passed and no sign of the door opening.

I pulled out my phone to check the time when I smiled seeing I got a message from my mother 20 minutes ago.

I didn’t hear it incoming because my phone was on mute.

She was wishing me good luck ahead of the interview.

That made me feel relieved.

Knowing she had my back.

The door slammed opened stunning me as I hurriedly shoved my smart phone into my pocket standing up at the same time.

“So where’s the so called bodyguard ?”. A guy on all-round black clothing asked stepping into the office.

Wilder looked at him realizing that this was the Malik he was supposed to be protecting.

He recognized him from the photos he searched up yesterday and he was exactly like as described.

Tattoos, piercings and stuffs like that.

“That handsome man right here is going to be my new bodyguard ?”. Malik asked his manager pointing at him.

Wilder unconsciously blushed not expecting to be described as that.

“Yes”. Wyatt replied going over to his desk to sit. “I just needed your consent first before hiring him “.

“Can I see his papers first ?”. Malik walked over to the table grabbing the credentials as he looked them over.

Wilder panicked expecting the worse but was surprised to see he had a smirk on his face instead.

“Woah. You are good but I’m seeing a red flag there”. Malik chuckled reading through the contents before looking up at him. “You tried to rape someone ?”.

“No, no, no”. Wilder hastily said. “I didn’t, she was lying. She accused me wrongly and said all that to get back at me for not accepting her advances”.

“Why ?”.

“Why what ?”.

“Why did you refuse her advances ?”. Malik asked tilting his head. “Wasn’t she pretty ?”.

“She w-was, I wasn’t interested “.

“Are you gay ?”. He asked again somewhat interested in what his answer would be.

“No“.

The singer scoffed, disappointment in his eyes. “Well, bisexual ?”.

“Malik!!!”. Wyatt stepped into the conversation interrupting him before turning to Wilder. “Don’t mind him, he asks a lot of unanswerable questions “.

“Uhh sure “. Wilder nodded feeling uncomfortable not liking how Malik’s eyes were on him.

Malik fixed his gaze on the taller guy for a moment before speaking. “You are hired “.

Those three words made Wilder explode inside.

He was elated.

“Thank you !”.

“Well, Malik, you are the boss, when does he start working ?”. Wyatt asked looking over at him.

The latter shrugged. “I don’t know. Tomorrow, I guess?”.

“You know, he has to move over to your place to begin working”.

“Yeah right “. Malik groaned remembering as his manager reminded him. “He’ll stay where my former bodyguards usually stay, at my place “.

Wilder didn’t say anything as he expected it.

That’s what a full time bodyguard does.

Wyatt nodded before turning to the new bodyguard. “Get all of your things ready this night, you’ll be moving over to his place, you are to be with him 24/7. You know your job, I don’t have to tell you how to protect him but make sure he isn’t harmed, I’ll message you tomorrow morning through the contact you gave to me, a driver will come pick you from your apartment around 8 in the morning and take you to Malik’s home, and from then, you begin your duties as his bodyguard, is all clear ?”.

Wilder nodded enthusiastically. “Yes, sure “.

“Good”. Wyatt patted his back. “I guess we won’t have a hard time working with you then. Since that’s all for today, you can leave. And resume on duty tomorrow, thank you for your time”.

Wilder smiled bidding his goodbyes to them before leaving the office.

Hearing his phone ring, he brought it out of his pocket to look at who’s calling when he bumped into someone.

“Sorry about that “. He apologized immediately stepping backwards.

“No worries “. The stranger said giving him a warm smile. “I’m not hurt, it was just a bump”.

Wilder recognized him quickly.

He was Miles.

Damn! The resemblance to his brother was strikingly obvious.

“I haven’t seen you here before”. Miles said. “You just got hired here ?”.

“Uhh, no. I’m the new bodyguard to your brother “.

“Really?”. He chuckled. “Guess you actually fit the bodyguard description he wanted to have, he was whining about it yesterday “.

“Bodyguard description ?”. Wilder asked confused.

“Ah! Never mind! You won’t understand, well, see you around, fella. I hope you are ready to work with Malik “.

Miles gave him that same warm smile before leaving his presence.

Wilder decided to forget all about that weird conversation as he left the building.

He made his way towards his car starting it up as he began to drive back home to meet his mother.

His last time at home with her.

She was already used to it anyways, she always understood that he living with his clients was part of the job.

But sometimes he always thought of if she ever misses him.

Soon, Wilder got to his home, pulling up in the driveway and rushed inside to tell his mum of the good news he received today.

“I’m home “. He said beaming brightly as he was hit with the scent of food making him find his way towards the kitchen.

“Baby “. His mother smiled noticing him walk in. “You are just home in time to taste my delicious lunch “.

“Uh, mum, I got the job”.

His mum gasped. “Really? That’s nice, I knew you would do well. So when are you starting ?”.

“Tomorrow “. Wilder winced as those words came out his mouth.

He knew it was going to hurt his mum.

“Oh “. She muttered. “Which means you are leaving this house.... “.

“Tomorrow “. I say completing the sentence for her.

“Okay “. She brightened up her mood with a smile. “You’ll be fine, baby. I’m happy for you and I wish you luck. Just remember that while protecting Malik, also protect yourself ?”.

“Yes, mum. I’m a singer’s bodyguard, the only I should watch out for are his obsessive fans and the paparazzi. What could possibly go wrong ?”.

And what Wilder didn’t know was that he shouldn’t have said that statement.
