Anna’s POVI was not surprised to see his shocked glance. It was natural since the whole saga was unexpected.“You want me to fire my secretary and employ you instead? I am sorry but it is very shocking…” Smith said calmly. He looked at me inquisitively. I knew he would be thinking about ‘what the hell is going on in this pretty girl’s brain?’It was totally normal. I could have done the same if I was in her shoes. No one would have thought that I would make such a proposition.“I know it would sadden your current secretary that I am about to take his/her job but it needs to be done,” I said slowly. “I have thought about it and there are only two things that I have wanted to do passionately. The first is to be involved in business. I love being an entrepreneur. The shrills and chills in crucial decision-making excites me a lot and I think I am cut out for it!”“That is understandable…” he replied. “How about the second thing you wanted to do passionately?”I smiled. What I was about t
Anna’s POVI could feel my heart jumping out of my chest already. I had thought of a lot of things in that same moment.“I left my hateful stepmother and my less-capable father and got married to the love of my life with no expectations that my life would be cut short after I defied his wants and forged my way into having a career. The man aimed for my heart so I would be unable to survive…”But the bullet never touched me. The car was bullet proof so the bullet could not get in. I was so glad when I saw this. I felt like running into the hands of Smith but it was very unusual that he had not asked me if I was fine. I let this go as we waited for the security personnel to come over.Our security personnel came first and I expected them to remove their guns and fight it out with the gangsters. I was surprised to see that they were smiling at each other. This shocked me as ever.“Don’t tell me that our security personnel have joined the gangsters!” I exclaimed. Smith said nothing and wa
Smith’s POVAnna started to chase me around. I knew this was the aftermath of my tricks. I had to brave it and hold her tightly. She gave up after a few seconds and rested her head on my chest.“I am sorry, darling…” I said carefully. “Don’t bother!” she replied. “I know you won’t leave me in danger if this happens in real life. I think you should get a bodyguard as well. At least, because of unforeseen circumstances.”“I will think about it…” I replied. I brushed her hair with my hand and we remained there for a moment. The policemen had started leaving and my car would not move unless the bad tyre was replaced. I could see my private security men making some calls. I would truly consider getting a bodyguard. It would relieve me since Anna wanted to be my secretary.---------- The security personnel took Anna and me in their van while my car was being repaired.“You spent a lot on that test, didn’t you? I don’t think it is quite fine for you to do that. I believe money should be sp
Anna’s POV“Let’s compare our product to Empire Group’s product. If it is the same, we should find out who leaked it among our staff and sue Empire group for some other cash…” I said carefully. This was a chance to put himself up on the radar and I was fully ready to grasp this chance with both hands.“Makes sense!” Smith supported. “The problem has been highlighted and the solution has been found. I do not know why but I think the implementation would be the most serious part.”“Let’s contact headquarters!” Alexander, the operations manager said carefully. “I feel like this won’t be done only with our manpower. We need more assistance!”“Not now, Alexander…” I said carefully. “There is a spy in the headquarters. It is not among the workers in the factory. It has to be someone higher up and it would be in the headquarters. Let us discuss the solution here and implement it right here. Headquarters should never know our full plan.”“I would have loved to do that but it is quite impossib
Anna’s POVFrom the way he had reacted, I knew he wanted to tell me something very important. I did not oppose when he claimed he wanted to see me. I had got to work the moment I got to the office. I didn’t even know where my workspace would be. However, before I entered Smith’s office, there was an office there. Charlotte, as the personal assistant, used that place. Well, she needed to be close to him.I entered his office and he closed the door. He made sure he locked it because of intruders.“The walls are soundproof. We are safe to say whatever here,” he told me carefully. He went to his seat while I sat on the chair opposite him. The first thing I did was to rest my head on his table. I was acting exhausted from the meeting I had with the employees.“It is so tiring!” I exclaimed.“It is what you wanted, darling…” Smith said calmly. “You could have been a pretty housewife who spends her time reading books and knitting sweaters for the family. Well, you wanted to be wild and indep
Anna’s POV“I am willing to show you around, Miss Anna,” the manager told me carefully. “This organization has been existing since the past thirty years and we hold the reputation for having the most successful bodyguards in the United States.”“But I haven’t heard of this organization in my life…” I said carefully.“Yeah, I don’t think you are someone who has hired a bodyguard in the past!” he told me savagely. I managed to smirk after he said this. I could not state this but it hurt me deeply.“Well, you are fairly right. I have been living an ordinary life…” I said slowly.“You should be grateful for that!” he told me simply. “Some people can’t step out of their home without a bodyguard. There are threats inside their homes and they need to be so cautious. The person who recommended you to our organization is a returning client. I have been here for over fifteen years and I have heard tales and seen some things for myself.”I sighed.“What do you do in this organization?” I asked c
Anna’s POVThis was a very big decision for me. I had the best of the best bodyguards in the world with me but it would lay in my hands to pick someone who would stand by me in life and death. It had to be somebody worthy. Such a person had to be ready to die for me and with me as the circumstances allowed.“I guess you are having a hard time. Would you like to tap into my inner intelligence? I am wiser than you can imagine…” the manager told me shortly. I was determined to wave this off. I would not be influenced by whatever he said.“I think this has to do with me more than with you!” I exclaimed. “I will make a befitting decision so just stand down and watch me.”“Do it your way,” the manager replied. I could visibly tell that he felt bad by how I was counting him out of such a fun activity. I simply smiled and decided to make him feel good.“Tell me who I should eliminate first among all four of them. I need to eliminate two, you know…” I said to him carefully. I could see him smi
Anna’s POVTheir work had started instantly. I had to call Smith to ask for directives but it turned out that the manager had informed him already.“They are your bodyguards, Anna,” Smith told me over the phone. “I have been alone for some years but you are new to this. I feel like you might have more enemies than I would. Or rather, you would get attacked more than I would. Your position is more sensitive than mine. You are the only thing in the world that can be used to threaten me.”I took a deep breath before the call ended. Andy drove the car while I rode in the back. Williams was beside Andy in the front seat.“There are rules and regulations here…” I said carefully.“Go on, miss,” Williams urged me. He sounded quite eloquent and vigilant. This must be because he had spent time with the military.“You once served with the military. What was your rank before you retired?” I asked him carefully.“Lieutenant!” Williams replied.“Why did you retire?” I asked again. It seemed he woul
