Chapter 674: Be My Bodyguard!

Bianca arched her eyebrows into a deep frown. If someone was following them then Alveena and Clifford might be in danger. And it's not only one man, but men. Several men.

"Are the men still here? Could you still see them?" Bianca asked Clifford while roaming her eyes at their surroundings. She was trying to survey the area to see if there were suspicious people lurking around them.

Clifford turned around, sweeping his gaze around the place.

"Strange. I saw them a while ago. But they suddenly disappeared when I started to become cautious." Clifford mumbled.

"Did you make it obvious that you already knew that they were following you?"

"Maybe? I don't know. I asked Alveena if she knew those guys. And I met his gaze while I was talking to Alveena."

Bianca sighed deeply and smacked Clifford's head.

"Aww! Why did you do that?" Clifford asked her irritatedly.

"You dummy! They probably sensed that you already knew that you were being watched and followed. So the men probably retreated for now, to avoid suspicion."

"Next time, don't make it obvious that you know or you see them. You have to pretend that you still don't know. Then think of a way how you will corner them to prove that they are indeed following you." Bianca started lecturing Clifford.

"If you experience that again, you and Alveena should move in a crowded place. We don't know what they are planning to do with both of you. It's dangerous so better to report this to the police or hire some bodyguards."

"Make sure that you and Alveena will always bring protective equipment for self-defense, like stun guns or pepper spray."

Clifford was just listening to her attentively as if she was his master and he was her disciple receiving a lecture from her.

"Do you have someone in mind who will have the motive to follow you and monitor your movement? Is it you or Alveena? Have you offended someone? We don't know who are their true target so both of you should be careful."

Clifford bobbed his head obediently as he kept her words in his mind.

"But in our circles, while doing business, we can't avoid offending someone. So there are many to mention. So how would I know?"

"That's why you should be cautious and careful with the people around you. If possible, you should keep a tracking device so that if someone tries to kidnap you or Alveena, we can always track your location in times of danger."

"You should buy equipment that will secretly notify the police or your men about your whereabouts and location. In times of danger, they can easily find you to rescue and save you."

Clifford was amazed just hearing her advice. It was really helpful. She was indeed an expert in this field. No wonder, Tristan Davis gave her the responsibility to protect and safeguard his wife, Zhen-Zhen.

"Now, you know what to do. Keep that in mind. I think we should buy those devices now. You and Alveena both have a great background. If you offended some powerful people with connections in the underground then you might be targeted by them using dirty methods and underhanded techniques." Bianca suggested, her voice was filled with worries and concerns for Clifford and Alveena.

After she was done talking, Bianca noticed the strange look Clifford was giving her.

'Eh, why is he looking at me like that?' She suddenly felt conscious because of Clifford's intense gaze.

"What? Do I have some dirt on my face?" Bianca asked him awkwardly. Clifford's suddenly changed into something she couldn't describe.

Then suddenly Clifford held her shoulders while staring at her eyes.

"Bianca… you are currently free, right? How about you become Sy's bodyguard in the meantime?"

Bianca: "..."

Bianca's jaw dropped upon hearing that sudden proposal from Clifford.

'Eh, what? Me becoming Sy's bodyguard? This is like betraying my Master who fed me! The Davis Family is the one who hired me. And I know the disputes between Boss Tristan and Clifford. How can I allow myself to become their bodyguard?'

Bianca was looking at him with disbelief. But Clifford didn't stop convincing her.

"Just tell me your price. I am willing to pay any amount. I will also talk to Tristan and Lillie to borrow your service in the meantime."

"Eh, seriously Cliff? Why me? I know the Sy Family also has family bodyguards just like the Davis Family." Bianca said, reasoning out with him.

Clifford was taken aback for a moment. Bianca had a point. But he couldn't understand why he suddenly got this crazy idea of hiring her as a personal bodyguard after hearing those pieces of advice from her.

He had to admit that he was truly amazed by her skills as well as her wisdom. She knew what she would do in times of danger. She was someone whom you could depend on.

"Well.. you are talented! You are smart and you have skills suitable for the job. Besides, you are close to Alveena," Clifford responded.

Bianca was still hesitant to accept his offer. Though she was free right now, she didn't know if it was a good idea to work for Clifford Sy.

'What if he will grab this opportunity to bully me? Or is he just making some excuses? But his eyes and his expression, it doesn't look like he is lying.'

Then her inner self had spoken. 'There's nothing wrong about this. Alveena is my friend and Clifford is her brother. I should help them.'

Clifford was still looking at her intently, waiting for her response. There was a hopeful look in his eyes.

"Bianca, please. I will be more at ease if it is you."

Bianca was at a loss for words. The cold and rude CEO was now begging in front of her, lowering his pride. Did she have the heart to refuse this gorgeous man who was asking for her help?

"Just work for me until I confirm and catch those men. I need to find out if we are being followed and watched. Who is the culprit  and what motive do they have for doing this?"

Bianca heaved a deep sigh. "Alright, I will do it!"

Clifford's lips twitched into a mischievous smile when Bianca agreed. He immediately concealed his smile when Bianca gazed up to look at him.

"Okay. You can start tomorrow! Come to my office at 7:00 am, don't be late!"

Bianca: "..."
