14 - Bodyguard

'So, he came here to become my bodyguard and as soon as he saw me coming here to take bodyguards, he couldn't wait to get chosen.'

Alistair also felt that he must seize this rare opportunity no matter what.

"I didn't expect two people to volunteer. I'm really excited." Rowan said happily, "What's your name?"

"Sir, my name is Adrian Scott!" The guard's demeanor was grave as he bellowed loudly enough for his voice to echo throughout the entire hall.

"Adrian is an old employee here. He has been working with us for six years. He is very familiar with our field of work and has completed all the assignments wonderfully. There is also no doubt about his loyalty." The manager of the security department introduced Adrian in high spirits.

"Sir, my name is Alistair!" Alistair, the second protagonist, also said seriously.

"Alistair is an employee we hired just a while ago. Although he is younger compared to the others here, he is very good at combat. None of our men was able to even land a proper hit on him." The manager of the security department introduced Alistair to Rowan.

"Oh? Best at combat in the department?" Rowan was quite interested.

"He's exceptionally good at fighting, and ordinary people can't even get close to him. It's just that..." The manager walked up to Rowan and whispered in his ears, "The thing is, he has just been hired, and we haven't had the time to complete the background check on him. For some reason, his information was classified recently."

"So you mean I shouldn't use a suspicious person? Don't worry, since he has come to our company, it proves that the other party is optimistic about our company and sincerely wants to work with us. We should also accept him with a big heart." 

Rowan walked up to Alistair, patted his shoulder, and encouraged him, "You seem like a good choice. You will be my bodyguard from today. Don't worry, you'll have some perks as the Vice President's bodyguard."

"Yes, thank you, sir." Alistair was very excited. He didn't expect that he could get to Rowan's side so easily.

'This gets me one step closer to my revenge!'

Rowan smiled kindly, patted Alistair's shoulder again and said, "We will all be like a family from now on. Don't call me sir, just call me Vice President Mills."

"Yes, Vice President Mills!" Alistair exclaimed in a raised voice.

Then, Rowan turned his head to look at Adrian and said, "You are also a very good choice and I also appreciate your will very much. Wait for me, when I get promoted and have permission to get one more bodyguard, I will take you. "

"Yes, thank you, sir!" Adrian excitedly returned to the team.

Then, Rowan left the department with Alistair and took him to his new office.

Alistair acted flawlessly, displaying no unusual behaviour.

But the moment he saw a beautiful woman in the office, his eyes widened and his heart started beating faster.

'It's her! Sara Woods, the most capable person who worked for Rowan! In my previous life, it was this beautiful and charming woman who kept giving Rowan a lot of ideas, causing me to lose all my support in the underworld and flee the country!'

'In my previous life, it was a well-known tale among the elite. At present, Sara appears to have joined Rowan's team due to Laura Crown and her love for him. There isn't any friendship between Rowan and her at this point; in fact, there should be a hint of hostility between the two during this period.'

Alistair felt that if he could have her change sides, Rowan would lose even sooner.

'Also, she looks so good too…NO, everyone loses to my Zoya!'

'If I can hold her in my arms with peace, it will be the best thing in my life.'

The more Alistair thought about it, the more heartbroken he became.

Now, Sara assembled a document and remarked, "Here's some critical information about the Mills investment company. I've organized everything! Crucial details are highlighted in red; feel free to give it a read."

Rowan took the file and ordered, "Alright. Go make me a cup of coffee."

Sara rolled her eyes, "I'm your secretary and will help with only office work, I'm not in charge of these things. Go find someone else to do it."

Rowan: "..."

At this moment, Sara noticed a young man in a security uniform in the room, and asked in surprise, "Is he the bodyguard you chose?"

Rowan acted to be proud of his choice on the surface, "How is he? Quite handsome, right?"

Alistair held his head high and showed his best posture.

Sara nodded: "Not bad! The bodyguard you picked looks just like you, trash."

Alistair: "..."

"I'm going to sort the matters about your meetings for now, don't look for me if you have nothing to do. You might be free, I'm not."

Saying that, Sara walked out of the office.

Rowan smiled and told Alistair, " Haha, buddy, don't mind her. My newly recruited secretary is like this. She has a cold personality, and even a Vice President like me is nothing in her eyes!"

"Don't worry, Mr Mills, if I took something like this to my heart, I wouldn't be a bodyguard," Alistair said loudly.

In fact, seeing what happened just now made him rather happier.

This just showed that there was no friendliness between the two, and his plan was more likely to succeed.

"Got it Mr bodyguard. You are free for now, I'll call you if something happens."

"Yes, Mr Mills! I'll be standing near the door."

Afterwards, Rowan swiftly skimmed through the file Sara gave him and realized that it was no different from what he had seen in his previous life.

Soon, it was 2 in the noon.

Rowan packed his things up and walked out the door.

Sara saw Rowan leaving and called him out, "Vice President Mills, where are you going?"

"To the hospital. Why?"

When Sara heard the word "hospital", she thought that Rowan was going to look for her best friend, so she shouted, "Wait for me! I'll go with you too."
