A Billionaire In Disguise novel Chapter 154

By three o'clock, Rome entered the living room, and the moment Blaze saw him, he stood to his feet and said, "Boss, the guys and I were talking, and we think it would be best if we all go with you on this trip."

"Why?" Rome calmly asked.

"Well, what happened yesterda..."

"Weren't you guys' fault. So if you three feel the need to babysit me, don't because I'm capable of handling myself."

"But boss, if that knife would have gone any further into your side, you would have been seriously hurt. Ma…"

"But it didn't."

Unable to let go of the feeling of guilt, Blaze made eye contact with Rome and said, "Pardon me for this, boss. But even though you are on top of your game and train constantly, last night only proves that you can't let your guard down."

"You guys seriously had a meeting on my name," Rome casually said, taking a seat on the couch.

"Scar can't forgive himself for what happened, and K won't do the same. We need you to have enough backup, especially if you are dealing with a man like Earl."

"Fine. Scar, Brook, and K can come along, but not you."

"Boss, I…"

"You should stay here with Catherine and make sure she stays away from the Earl family!"

It fell silent as Blaze stared intensely at Rome. Then he lowered his brows and asked, "You want me to keep Miss in check?"

"Yes," Rome said, noticing the look of hesitation on Blaze's face. "Will that be a problem?"

'A problem? Of course, yes. You want me to tell, Miss, what she can and can't do. What if I make her mad in the process or hurt her feelings? I respect you, boss, but I respect the woman that has your heart more!" Blaze thought, feeling anxious.

Then he focused on Rome, gave an awkward, brief smile, and said, Of course, not, boss. Miss is safe under my watch."

"Good. If anything goes wrong, call me immediately." Rome said, standing to his feet.

Without responding, Blaze looked at the tiles and thought, 'Now you want me to be a snitch too. Damn, boss, you are putting me in a tight spot.'

"Blaze!" Rome firmly called out.

Snapping out of his head, Blaze stared at him and hastily said, "Yes, boss."

"My wife's safety is in your hands. Don't mess up!"

"Yes, boss! Rest assured that I will stick with my mission until you get back."

At four-fifteen on the dot, Rome and Catherine were seated in the backseat of his limo as Orlando drove them to the airport, and driving in a jeep, a few distances behind them were Scar, Blaze, and Brook.

The car was silent for a while, then Catherine looked up at Rome and mumbled, "Promise me tha…"

Staring down at her, Rome noticed the look of hesitation in her eyes and asked, "Why did you stop?"

"Mmm, you have to come home soon, and call me when you get there, okay?" Catherine softly intoned as her eyes lit up. "I will miss you."

"I will be back home as soon as possible. But in the meantime, you have to stay by Blaze's side and stay away from Earl, okay?"

"Mmm, yes."

When Rome raised his brows as he doubtfully gazed at her, Catherine nervously smiled and said, "I know that you are worried about me. But I promise not to get myself hurt and be safe. So try not to stress about me and focus on the issues at hand, alright?"

"Call me if anything happens, and I will be on the next flight, coming home to you. Also, don't hold back if anyone messes with you or forgets who your husband is."

Sharp five on the dot, the plane Rome was on with Scar, Brook, Mr. Orlando, and K took off, and then it was just Catherine and Blaze seated in a black Jeep.

With tears setting in her eyes, Catherine stared at the windshield and softly sniffed, fighting her urge to cry.

"Is everything okay, miss?" Blaze asked as he gazed at her, feeling awkward that she was crying and he had no idea on how to handle the situation.
