Lamont was deep in thought when he heard Valeria talking to Howard, "William, you don't have to worry about my safety anymore now that I have Uncle Saunders as my personal bodyguard.He's a well-known master in martial arts, so I'm sure he'll be able to protect me well!"
"Really?"
William's gaze snapped to Lamont when he heard the news, "That's great! Please take care of her then, Mr.Saunders!"
William had humbled himself to call Lamont ‘Mr.Saunders’, and he had spoken to the latter without any hint of arrogance.
However, William should have already known that Lamont was Archer's bodyguard and it was weird that William was calling him ‘Mr Saunders’.
In fact, William should've referred to him as ‘Uncle Saunders' just like Valeria or ‘Mont’ if he knew that Lamont was Archer's personal bodyguard.
However, instead of using the two names, William had opted to refer to him as ‘Mr.Saunders’.
Did William know that Lamont was more than just a bodyguard? William couldn't have found out, could he? The only people who knew about his real identity were Archer, Natalie, and Lucian! Ignoring his thoughts, Lamont replied William with a smile, "I will.President Garcia has ordered me to protect Ms.Saunders, and I'll heed his instructions well.On behalf of our family, thank you for also protecting Miss Brown and taking care of her all this time, Sir William!"
William's smile froze a little as he knew that Lamont was referring to him as an outsider, "Of course I would take care of Valeria, she's my future wife after all!"
Valeria glanced at both William and Lamont before pouting, "We'll all be one big family in the future, so let's drop the formalities alright?"
"Alright, Miss" Lamont answered.
"Sure!"
William agreed immediately after he saw that Lamont had gone along with Valeria's request.
"Uncle Saunders and Lucian will be moving into our villa to keep me updated on my father's plans, would that be alright?" Valeria asked as she looked at William pleadingly.
"Of course, anything my wife says goes" William answered playfully.
"Alright, William and I will be leaving first then.See you later when you're ready to move in then, Uncle Saunders!"
"See you!"
Lamont stood up as William and Valeria left the coffee shop.
The couple was flirting affectionately with each other as they made their way out.
William had also thoughtfully bucked Valeria's seatbelt for her once they got on his car.
Lamont only got on his car after watching the both of them drove off with squinting eyes.He lit a cigarette and took a long puff from it to calm himself down before reaching out to his phone to call Archer.
Archer picked up his phone but his surroundings were noisy, "What's up?"
"Valeria is dating your nephew William, and this is why Hayden had wanted to get rid of her."
"What?"
Archer exclaimed in shock, "How did the both of them end up together?"
"Right? How did William even manage to catch Valeria's eye? He's just a pampered and useless brat that has nothing but his good looks!"
