Chapter 304

She figured it was no big deal, but to her surprise, Owen actually brought a whole team of people home the next day for Autumn to choose from.

“These are all professionally trained bodyguards. They can handle any kind of emergency.”

“You can pick a few of each, men and women. Don’t worry about it being a hassle.”

It wasn’t that Autumn found it a hassle; it was more that this whole production felt like she had a massive

entourage.

“Do I really need this many?”

A quick glance around the living room told her there were at least forty people standing there.

Felt like she was picking out her own Secret Service detail.

Autumn was totally overwhelmed, feeling like Owen was going a little overboard.

She understood that what Robert Williams had done was bone–chilling, but this was the Bennetts‘ home turf. Could they really do something to her here?

They couldn’t be *that* powerful, could they?

“If you think it’s too many, just pick four or five.”

“The point is, someone has to be with you at all times. And pick two female bodyguards for close protection.”

“I won’t be able to relax otherwise.”

Since Owen put it that way, Autumn could only nod.

She chose a few that she had a good feeling about, asked for their names, and had them stay.

Once that was settled, Owen finally felt at ease enough to leave for work.

Autumn didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

She couldn’t bring herself to say

He couldn’t possibly keep this many people following her around forever, right?

If he did, she could never leave the house again.

“You all can… just make yourselves comfortable out here.”

Autumn had no experience dealing with bodyguards. She only took the two female guards back to her room, leaving the men to wait outside.

The bodyguard, whose name was Ella Miller, clearly understood how Autumn felt and proactively suggested waiting outside.

Autumn thought for a moment but declined.

“No, it’s okay. Let’s just get used to each other.”

“It’ll be much easier to get along once we’re comfortable.”

With that, Autumn looked at the other female bodyguard. “And you’re… Grace?”

“Yes, Ms. Lopez.”

“Ella and I are from the same security company. We’ve protected female celebrities before, so we have a lot of experience dealing with paparazzi and stalkers.”

“And, of course, if you need it, we can also run your social media fan pages for you.”

Autumn: ?

Whoa. Were bodyguards‘ skill sets really this broad these days?

“Ahem, the fan page thing won’t be necessary. I was just wondering, when you say ‘close protection,‘ what exactly does that entail? For example, if I go to the restroom when we’re out, what’s the procedure?”

*Are they going to follow

me right into the stall?*

“After that, one of us will guard the main entrance while the other guards the door to the inner area, ensuring no one can harm you.”

Oh, so that’s how it worked.

Autumn breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as they weren’t going to be watching her use the toilet, she was fine with it.

This level of security, Autumn could grudgingly accept.

“And what about the male bodyguards‘ daily duties?”

“They can drive, carry your bags, and, if necessary, act as a human shield for you, Ms. Lopez.”

Listening to them, Autumn found herself growing curious about the life of a bodyguard.

Autumn saw her struggle and asked with even more curiosity, “It’s fine, you can tell me.”

Besides, she was looking for material for her future directing career anyway.

“Grace and I once had an assignment protecting the mistress of a CEO.”

Autumn’s eyebrows shot up.

*Damn, that’s some juicy drama.*

“Why did she need protection? Did the CEO have enemies?”

Grace said, “No, it was… the CEO’s wife came from a very complicated family.”

Autumn immediately got it.

*So the CEO’s wife was a powerhouse, and he was worried she’d hurt his pampered little lover, huh?*

“So what kind of things did the wife do?”

To make the CEO hire bodyguards for his mistress, she must have been something else.

“Any method you can think of, Ms. Lopez, she tried it.”

“Kidnapping, car accidents, poisoning…”

“That mistress’s life was basically a modern–day survival thriller.”

Autumn’s eyes went wide.

“And the CEO just let it happen?”

Ella, ever the straight–shooter, blurted out, “The CEO was a total gold digger who had to walk on eggshells around his wife just to maintain his lifestyle. Hiring us was pretty much the only time he ever stood up to her. There was no way he could control her.”

Autumn fell silent.
