Chapter 123
“You must be the missus, right?” The woman stepped forward and smiled at Diane. “We’re the bodyguards Mister Severin hired!”
“Bodyguards?” Diane had a contorted expression on her face when heard that. Those women all had good figures–some had the girl–next–door look, some had a cold character, and others were very sultry. They were the complete opposite of how bodyguards were supposed to look.
“Severin!” Diane gritted her teeth and could not resist yelling out loud.
“What’s the matter, honey?” When Severin rushed out, he was stunned to see several sexily- dressed women. “Uhh…who are they?”
“Oh? Aren’t these the bodyguards you hired? Are you seriously telling me you don’t know them? Who are you trying to fool?” Severin’s bewildered face angered Diane even more. She suspected that he had been searching for lovers instead of bodyguards, and they looked like women who were just waiting to be taken care of rather than women who were capable of taking care of others. In her mind, Severin was already straying away. She was fine with living in a big villa and having insane amounts of cash in hand, but searching for women and hiring them as ‘bodyguards‘ was something she could not accept. After all, who knows what intentions he had in private?
“The bodyguards I hired?” Severin frowned and felt a headache coming on as he looked at those
women.
“Yes! Warren sent us here!” One of the girls stepped forward and said with a smile. She looked relatively young, and exuded a youthful air all over her.
Severin finally understood what was happening and explained to Diane with a smile. “Oh yeah! I called a friend to get me some bodyguards after the Stones come to cause trouble with us today. I was worried that the family might be in danger, hence why I decided to hire a few bodyguards as protection!” At that juncture, Severin scratched his head in embarrassment, and continued, “II didn’t expect my friend to hire an all–female team of bodyguards!”
“You can’t be thinking about asking to leave, right?” The girl suddenly had a pitiful look on her face.
“Yeah! Do you know how difficult it was to get someone to hire us? Just do us a favor and accept us!” Another woman also stepped forward.
Some distance away, Judith and Maurice came out and tried to find out what was going on there. “These are the bodyguards you hired, Severin? They’re all girls! Will they competent at their job? And how much did it cost to hire them? We don’t reed these bodyguards, do we?” Judith came over and asked. She was clearly concerned about the money that would be used on them.
“Ma’am, this friend of our boss has already paid our wages. To be precise, we’ve been paid ten years of wages upfront!” A woman with permed hair smiled slightly and continued, “And besides, you can’t look down on women. We can go up against a hundred men without any problem!”
Severin was speechless. He was well aware that Warren hired a group of skilled individuals, but there was no need to specifically choose beautiful women. He surmised that Warren was unaware that he had a wife and a daughter, or else six men would have been sent over instead of
six women.
“Ten years‘ of wages…paid upfront?” Judith frowned, looked at Severin, and asked, “Severin, what’s your relationship with that friend? How is it that they could afford to pay so much money?”
“Our friendship is one that’s built on fate!” Severin could only say.
“You have the final say, honey! If you want to chase them away, then I’ll chase them away. If you want to keep them around, then we’ll do just that. I’m sure they’re strong enough either way!” Severin looked at Diane and added, “Then again, I think having female bodyguards are a good
