Chapter 221
Her eyes widened, and she looked confused. However, she only allowed herself to stay like this for a second before regaining her composure. She grabbed her things and hurried off the plane. She had to catch up with Darius.
When Kate saw them moving, she got ready to get off the plane as well. Before she could do so, someone appeared before her. It was a man with blond hair and plain features. She knew who he was-Darius’ bodyguard, the surgeon.
The captain practically worshipped him and treated Darius nicely because of him. So, she told herself to be nice to him.
She forced out a smile and said, "You're Edward, right? May I know why you're stopping me from getting off the plane?"
Edward looked at her seriously. "Because I'm a bodyguard. I can tell that you want to get close to Mr. Reid, and that's not something that I can allow."Kate resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She was starting to dislike Edward already, but she couldn't show it. As she pondered this,
Edward said, "Mr. Reid will be in Almiron City for a long time. I don't think you need to express your thoughts right now. Also, if my memory serves me right, the Anderson Group is very influential here. I suppose it's something for you to think about."
He stretched his neck, then continued, "I think I've overstepped my boundary as a bodyguard, so this is the end of our conversation. I hope that you won't show up before Mr. Reid for the time being. Also, I hope that you'll learn proper communication before the next time we meet.
Otherwise, I'll exercise my right and duty as a bodyguard."
Without waiting for Kate's reaction, he turned and left. Kate remained rooted to the spot, only returning to her senses once Edward was out of her sight. She shrieked angrily, "Edward, you're just a bodyguard! You have no right to speak to me like that!"
It was too late, though. Neither Darius nor Edward heard her.
