The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 918

Haynes assigning this task to Foreman was only natural.

Stella asked, “How’s Haynes doing now?”

Foreman replied, “He’s out of danger, but still unconscious. Honestly, the fact that Haynes managed to take on five attackers and still get Callie out safely is nothing short of remarkable.”

Stella remembered what Benson had said about a mole, and hesitated, but ultimately decided not to mention it to Foreman.

...

Sandford was Foreman’s territory, so with Haynes incapacitated, Foreman took it upon himself to protect Stella. To make sure nothing happened to her, he personally drove Stella to and from competitions almost every day, accompanied her at meals, and even followed her on shopping trips. He was more present than Joshua ever had been in the past.

After a while, Stella started to feel a little awkward about it.

She finally said, “Foreman, Neville’s team still has people watching over me. If you’re worried about something happening, just assign a few more skilled female bodyguards. There’s really no need for you to escort me everywhere yourself.”

Bodyguards can keep out threats you see coming, but there’s no guarantee against the unexpected. History is full of well-protected leaders—kings, presidents, prime ministers—surrounded by the best security, yet still falling victim to an assassin’s blade. Even with round-the-clock protection, there’s always a chance something could slip through.

She didn’t want Foreman’s work to suffer because of her.

But Foreman just smiled. “Don’t worry about me, Star. I’ve already cleared my schedule and taken care of everything important. Haynes asked me to do this. If something happened because I was careless, what would I say to him when he wakes up?”

With Haynes’ name brought up, Stella had nothing left to say. Haynes was still unconscious; she couldn’t reason with him, and could only let it go.
