FAZER LOGINMarcus gave Tony a look, and Sierra gave him the same one.Tony froze before explaining, "What I mean is, he's a director at Lynch Group. What kind of business would bring him to a hospital? I never heard of Lynch Group having any business in medicine."Sierra watched him for a moment without saying a word. As long as the people she hired did not hurt her and break the law, they could be as weird as they wanted. "You can run after him and ask. Maybe you'll get an exclusive interview."Tony blinked.Marcus blinked too.They both turned to look at her at the same time.Tony even turned to Marcus and spoke right in front of Sierra. "Do you think the Miss knows how to throw shade now?""That isn't throwing shade. It's growth," Marcus said.Tony closed his eyes. How did Marcus manage to tie everything back to growth?Sierra stopped listening to their nonsense and took Marcus with her to handle her business. Tony, knowing where he belonged, stayed in the car and waited.Meanwhile,
"It was probably better for us not to lose them back there," Tony said to Sierra as they got close to the hospital. He had been fooling around so long that even he had let his guard down.Sierra looked puzzled, and so did Marcus."We weren't doing anything top secret anyway," Tony said, unusually serious. "If they wanted to follow us, we should have let them. I have good reflexes and my driving is top-notch anyway. I could've kept both of you safe no matter what they do."Sierra thought it over. It was just as Tony had said."Now they all know you have a bodyguard with great driving skills. They probably won't waste time on that again. They'll switch to something else after this most likely," Tony said like it had already happened.Sierra and Marcus exchanged a glance with each other and came to the same conclusion. He was taking the long way around to praise himself again. What he had shown earlier was nowhere near enough to surprise anyone. Even taxi drivers in Harbor City a
"A security company only really asks for a few things from its employees. No criminal record, good combat skills, and a strong sense of duty." Marcus clearly saw himself as the company's best hire when he talked to Tony about it. "I got in after taking on ten men by myself."Tony fell silent. That did sound like there was nothing wrong with it. A bodyguard like him who was skilled and responsible would be in demand anywhere.Marcus then asked, "What about you?""Obviously, I got with the power of exceptional intelligence," Tony said naturally. "You don't think everyone gets by on brute force like you, do you?"Marcus said flatly, "Got it. You got in through connections."Tony gave Marcus a look.Trying to save his dignity, he added, "We specialize in different things.""Right," Marcus said expressionlessly."My mind works better than yours," Tony said."That still doesn't change the fact that you can't fight," Tony said in a matter-of-factly tone.Tony gritted his teeth.He
"She's getting suspicious now," Marcus said in a serious tone regarding Sierra."Isn't that normal?" Tony was calm, thinking Marcus was overreacting about it. "It would be a problem if she wasn't."Marcus stared at him."I wasn't wrong," Tony said.Marcus then brought up something else even in the middle of talking about something so serious. "You were disrespectful to the Miss. I'm reporting you to her.""How childish can you be?" Tony was especially quick with his sharp tongue. "You're a grown man. Why are you still complaining like a kid? Can you please handle it like an adult?""Alright," Marcus said without hesitation.The next second, he got up and walked toward him.Tony froze.Facing Marcus's stiff, intimidating presence, his composure finally cracked. "What are you doing? I'm the bodyguard, driver, and secretary now. If anything happens to me, she'll definitely... Argh!"Tony cried out in pain as Marcus grabbed him in one clean submission move. He was fast and effici
Sierra's heart sank when she heard Anna's explanation. She had not expected Daniel to be thinking that far ahead."That's it, more or less." Anna said as she looked at Sierra with mixed emotions.Anna had her issues with John, but she also had to admit that in some ways, he was thoroughly devoted to Sierra. She had not paid much attention earlier, but she had clearly noticed the extra layer of protection around the house during this time.No one could really stop someone from truly wanting to protect another."I understand," Sierra said. She remained calm even when she understood everything now."Don't take it too seriously." Anna did not want her daughter to carry the weight of her own past. Sierra had every right to choose everything she wanted for herself. "No matter what you decide, I'll support you."Sierra nodded in agreement.After they talked a little longer, Anna told her to go back to her room and wait for the results.Sierra did not ask any more questions as she went
After Sierra got home that day, she played with Tommy for more than an hour before going to see Anna. The two of them took a slow walk through the garden.Seeing how calm and quiet she was, Anna asked, "Something on your mind?"Sierra nodded. After taking a moment to collect herself, she asked, "Is it wrong to doubt someone who has been treating you well?""A friend?" Anna asked."No," Sierra said.Anna thought about the people Sierra had been around lately. After a while, she asked carefully, "Tony and Marcus?""Was it that obvious?" Sierra felt torn. Part of her thought their backgrounds were a little complicated. Another part worried that doubting them might hurt them.Anna answered honestly. "No, it wasn't."Sierra let out a small breath. "That's good.""What are you suspicious about?" Anna asked. She did not know what had happened between them. After coming back, she handed everything over to her daughter.Sierra told her about her doubts and everything she had noticed.
"Alright." Sierra went along with Jenny, her eyes gleaming. "Thank you, Sis."Jenny stayed as calm as ever. "Focus on your work."Sierra nodded. "Okay."That morning, Sierra made a few subtle tweaks to the piece Jenny had mentioned, then went back to finishing the rest of the illustration. Once s
John met his parents' eyes."I'm doing what the CEO of Henderson Group should do."That was a statement, and not a question.However, Danny blurted out without thinking, "Whatever it is, it's not what you're doing right now!"John didn't look at Danny again and simply walked away.He had made t
Cindy wasn't surprised. John was the CEO of Henderson Group, after all. He only attended the main company's annual party every year and never showed up at events for the listed subsidiaries, much less something like Origin Games, which didn't even rank among his top companies. There was no reason
After that little episode, Sierra focused on her work. Once she concentrated, she would forget anything unhappy for a while. She only snapped out of it when Jenny told her it was lunchtime."Let's go." Jenny's voice was calm.Her outfit was always made from the simplest colors and style. She herse
