His Nanny Mate (Moana and Edrick Morgan) novel Chapter 205

#Chapter 205: …But Satisfaction Brought It Back

Edrick

With an exasperated sigh, I picked up my phone to call my chief security officer.

“Afternoon, Mr. Morgan,” he said when he answered. “Everything alright?”

“Yes,” I replied. “But I need a favor. Do you have any female bodyguards you could send over for an interview?”

The chief security officer paused for a moment, thinking. “I do,” he replied. “I can send them over tomorrow. Is there anything you need them for specifically?”

I sighed again, thinking back on the incident with Moana and the male bodyguard that I had assigned to her. She clearly felt uncomfortable with him, and it was obvious that the other teachers and students were uncomfortable as well. All I wanted was for Moana to be protected, but it wasn’t going to help any if she kept pushing away the bodyguards.

“I need someone who can work closely with my… fiancee,” I replied, still feeling strange about referring to Moana as that. Even though we had marked each other and had become a lot more affectionate since it had happened, we were still technically not in any sort of official relationship. At least, we hadn’t talked about it yet. “She needs someone who can be helpful with kids, and someone who’s easy to get along with but who will also provide good protection. Do you have anyone like that?”

For a few more moments, the security officer paused. I could hear him typing on a keyboard on the other end, like he was looking something up. After a little while longer, he finally said, “Aha! I found someone.”

“Who is it?” I asked.

“Her name is Katherine,” he replied. “She’s twenty-eight, has experience working on one-on-one jobs in family settings, and it looks like she performed excellently on all of her physical and intellectual exams.”

I nodded, letting out a small sigh of relief. “Send her over to the penthouse tomorrow,” I replied. “I’d like to have an interview with her.”

I felt infinitely relieved by the time I hung up with the security officer. Perhaps having a female bodyguard who was good with kids might lift Moana’s mood and make her feel a bit more comfortable. Not only that, but maybe I could finally rest easy during the day knowing that Moana had an experienced bodyguard by her side in case of an emergency… Although part of me felt as though I would never really rest easy. Not as long as I still had to worry that Moana could shift at any point out of nowhere.

For the rest of that day, I prepared what I would say to Moana. She hadn’t exactly been out of line with how she handled her first bodyguard, per se, but I needed her to understand why it was so important for her to be more open to this new bodyguard. When she came home that afternoon, however, judging from the angry expression on her face and the way that she stormed toward me it seemed as though my pre-planned speech might fall on deaf ears.
