Chapter 280 - Hey, are you crazy?!

Feeling jubilant about her achievement, Marga immediately rushed to her room. However, she stopped not far off from her room seeing Ace leaning beside the door with his hands in his pocket; looking bored.

Not knowing what's this bodyguard's intention was, Marga's vigilance heightened as she began to slow her steps and composed herself while putting her phone behind her. When she was a few steps away from him, she took a full stop and thrust her chin forward.

"Why are you here?"

Ace who was bored as for him, Marga took forever to reach her own room even though she was literally sprinting her way back there. Raising his head unenergetically, Ace's perilous gaze met hers -- which made Marga unconsciously step back.

He languidly held out his hand from his pocket as if he was asking for her to hand him something. Without a word, Ace tilted his head on the side seeing the oblivious expression on Marga.

"Wh -- what?"

"Give it back." Ace's words were too complex to comprehend which made Marga a little confused. Alas, part of her guessed what he was referring.

"Give what back?"

"The thing you stole -- give it back." Ace frowned as he was pushed to say more words to Marga. To him, it should be easy to guess what he wanted back as he only worked for Seraphina and Sebastian Yue. Hence, as a bodyguard, he must protect his employer's privacy.

"Huh, stole? Just who do you think you are?" Being accused of something that she seemed she did not do, Marga raised her brows. Moreover, does this bodyguard know his disposition in life?

"I am the Chairwoman bodyguard…"

"Exactly! Just a bodyguard. So, how dare you accuse me of stealing?" Marga sassed; filled with confidence and mockery. Marga and her father already s_u_c_k_e_d too much humiliation from Seraphina's indirect and direct insults. Hence, she won't allow some lowly servants to trample the pride that left in her.

For a moment, Ace didn't utter a word as he put his held out hand back to his pocket. Scrutinizing the slightly relieve expression of Marga, a subtle smirk form on the corner of his lips. Soon, he took slow strides towards her which made Marga took a step back.

Every step Ace takes, Marga step back until the cold railing of the mezzanine inside balcony touched her lower back -- indicating she had nowhere to run.

Yet, Ace didn't stop as he continued taking his steps towards her. When the gap between them was too closed -- enough for her to feel extreme discomfort, that's when Ace stopped.

Under his extreme dominating gaze, Marga gulped a mouthful of saliva as she looked away. "What do you think you're doing?"

"Miss Yue, you do know what bodyguards are for, no?"

She could feel the surprisingly fresh and minty breath of Ace which distracted Marga for awhile. She was used to the manly and faint fragrance of Dragon with a touch of tobacco which was also surprisingly enticing yet, Ace's smell gave her another refreshing vibe. Distracted by the alluring smell, Marga heard him resumed.

"Bodyguards shield and protect their employer…" placing his hand on the railing beside where she was standing, his other hand ins_e_n_s_i_t_i_v_ely travel from her back before roughly pulling her phone she was holding from behind.

When he got what he wanted, Ace smirk widen with a touch of mockery to the spacing out Marga. He took a step back so there will be insufficient space between them, he added.

"So, including their privacy." waving the phone in front of him, he informed in a trivial tone.

"Hey, Are you crazy?! that's mine!" snapping back to her senses, Marga apprehended as she clenched her hand into a fist -- digging her manicured red nails on her palm. She could not believe that she got distracted and complimented a lowly bodyguard inwardly.

Despite that Ace was a good-looking man and was a waste to be a bodyguard as an occupation -- never in her whole life she would turn her head to someone who doesn't have anything to back up his impudence. Moreover, the most beautiful man she had seen was Dragon -- no doubt. How can a mere bodyguard harass her?

"Don't worry, Miss Yue. I'll give it back to you once I got the photos of my employer deleted." Ace smiled in contrast to the ugly shade of red plastered across Marga's face. He then nonchalantly slid the smartphone on his pocket like it was his. When he turned his back against her, preparing to leave, Ace abruptly stopped.

"No -- give it back!" out of desperation, Marga desperately tugged his well-ironed suit -- creasing it a little. Alas, she can't be bothered. Thinking about Seraphina's response when she knew that she captured her intimate moment with Liam -- Marga felt fear. After all, Seraphina was slowly showing her demonic horns; not to mention, she now the biggest shareholder of the Yue International Enterprise.

"Please… I'll delete them -- right now." backing up her pleading, Marga set aside her pride as her luxurious life is on the line.

Ace wordlessly reached out on her hand that was holding on the hem of his jacket suit before turning his inexpressive expression back to her. This time, he was not smirking or interested in her pleas. Instead, he was bored with the dramatic act Marga was displaying.

"Miss Yue, with all due respect, let me do my job. It's your fault for conducting such schemes behind my employer's back. As you said, I'm just a mere bodyguard. I need a job to feed myself and I'm afraid if I let this slide, I might lose it."
