Emma had left Xavier Group, and Meredith didn't say anything to that.
She spent the whole morning dealing with the backlog of more than ten days. In the afternoon, a woman in a black coat with short, neat hair and delicate features came to her.
"Boss, I'm Nikita."
She was the bodyguard that Derek hired for her, who would protect her all day long and live with her at night.
In fact, Derek had wanted to hire a bodyguard for Meredith long ago. But he was afraid that Meredith would not like that, so he didn't do anything. But this time, he made up his mind.
Meredith was sensible. After so many accidents, he didn't reject having a bodyguard around her and silently accepted the arrangement.
Inside a cafe in a mall.
"Meredith, I've been so busy these days because of a project at the company that I didn't even know you were taken to the police station last month. Why didn't you tell me? What's going on?" Penelope's face was full of anxiety.
"It's not a big deal. The company had made a mistake." Meredith did not want to go into detail about this matter。
Penelope didn't think much about that. After all, in her opinion, Meredith couldn't suffer any losses since Derek was the boss of the Xavier Group.
Taking a sip of coffee, she glanced at Nikita, who was sitting on the side straightly with a serious face. She asked Meredith,
"Who is she?"
"The bodyguard Derek hired for me. Her name is Nikita."
Penelope's eyes widened and she looked at Nikita with sparkling eyes. Awesome, she was a female bodyguard. No wonder she looked so cool.
"Hello, Nikita. My name is Penelope. I'm Mer's friend. Well, you're a bodyguard. You must be really good at martial arts, right? I've admired martial artists since I was a child. You're awesome."
Meredith, "..."
Nikita ignored Penelope's hospitality, and continued to observe the surrounding.
Penelope smiled awkwardly and took back her hand without getting angry. Well, it was understandable that a bodyguard was cold and aloof.
Meredith shook her head, "Okay, stop. I haven't asked you what's wrong with you? You heard heartbreaking on the phone. What happened?"
The woman who was screaming for help on the phone just now waved her hand. "It's nothing serious. I rented a man to be my boyfriend, and I want you to help me evaluate him."
"What?" Meredith looked at her in astonishment. Her words were quite surprising.
After Penelope's explanation, Meredith finally understood.
It turned out that Penelope's parents arranged a lot of blind dates for her since she was almost 30 years old but still didn't have a boyfriend.
Penelope was so annoyed and she thought of this way to get rid of the blind dates.
Well, people could get everything online. Renting a boyfriend was trendy, so Penelope also paid to rent one.
After paying the deposit on the Internet, she would meet him face to face, and if she felt he was good enough to act as her boyfriend to deal with her parents, she would pay him the rest money. Meredith was surprised by this deal.
"Let me tell you, this man I rented is as handsome as stars. I'll show you the photos."
Penelope said excitedly, taking out her phone and handing it over.
Meredith glanced at the photo and raised an eyebrow. She was not very interested in the man, but indeed he looked really good. He was comparable to the male stars.
