“I’m willing to go through fire and water for Ms.
Wilcox, climb mountains of swords, and dive into pots of boiling oil, just to ensure her safety!” Yusuf Zuck patted his chest vigorously, not for anything else, but for that 720,000.
He was ready to strike wherever he was pointed.
“I’m speaking seriously, Yusuf, don’t always be so unrestrained in front of me, or I’ll no longer need you as a bodyguard!” Ruth Wilcox was somewhat angry.
This Yusuf was good in many aspects, but it was his mouth that really needed a slap.
“Yes, yes, I’ll follow Ms.
Wilcox’s orders.
Don’t fire me; I was just trying to show my loyalty,” Yusuf nodded repeatedly, agreeing with her.
“There’s no need for you to show any loyalty.
Listen carefully,” Ruth thought for a moment before saying, “Starting from today, I will inform the security department that you’ll be my full-time driver.
You’ll take me to and from work on a daily basis, and when I go out for business talks, you’ll accompany me as well.
Essentially, you’ll just be responsible for my safety.”
“What about at night?
After I drop you off at home, where will I stay?” Yusuf asked anxiously.
“Oh, right, where will you stay.” Ruth was momentarily stumped as well.
She often worked late into the night, sometimes not returning home until midnight.
If she let Yusuf take her home and then have him drive back to the company, it would be daylight by then, wouldn’t it?
And in the mornings, when traffic in the capital was at its worst, it was impossible for Yusuf to get up in the middle of the night to drop her off and then get up again at five or six to pick her up.
That would indeed be too exhausting.
“Then you can stay at my place…” Ruth suddenly said.
“Good, good, that’s great!
That’s great!” Without even thinking, Yusuf nodded vigorously.
This idea was just too damn good; to be able to live under the same roof as the beautiful boss was a dream, and at night, he might be able to use telekinesis to sneak a peek at her showering!
“Sin, sin, am I being too despicable?” Yusuf reproached himself internally.
Why did his thoughts immediately leap to peeping on her taking a shower?
“What’s so good about that?
I don’t think it’s good at all.
No, it won’t do; you can’t stay at my place!” Seeing Yusuf nodding his head so eagerly, Ruth’s scalp went numb.
Why did she blurt out letting him stay at her place?
Wasn’t she inviting trouble into her home?
Upon hearing Ruth change her mind, Yusuf immediately sat up straight and said seriously, “Ms.
Wilcox, are you doubting my character, or insulting my dignity?
Although I might speak without thinking, my intentions are always honest.
Let’s not mention the hot pot incident—what about the bomb?
That bomb had nothing to do with me, but didn’t I still find it as soon as possible, for you, for the company?”
“About me…”
“I don’t trust you one bit!” Ruth looked at Yusuf coldly and said, “Besides, having a man living in my house wouldn’t sound right to others.
No more arguing, I’ll try to get off work earlier in the coming days.
We’re not discussing this further; I’ll give you 60 thousand a month.
If you’re tired, you’ll just have to bear with it!”
“Oh, and has the HR department notified you about the part-time electrician job yet?”
“No, am I also a part-time electrician?
Does it mean my salary has gone up?” Yusuf asked excitedly.
Ruth rolled her eyes; all Yusuf cared about was money.
“You don’t need to do that part-time job anymore.
If you keep working as an electrician, I’m afraid it’ll cut into your availability.”
“Oh, okay then, if I’m not doing it, I’m not doing it.
I’ll follow whatever Ms.
Wilcox instructs!” Yusuf was still bathing in the thought of a monthly salary of 60 thousand; he felt like he had struck it rich.
“Right, there’s one more thing—aren’t you in the company’s WeChat group?” Ruth suddenly asked.
“WeChat group?
No, I’m not,” Yusuf shook his head.
The company had a WeChat group which was often used for things like meeting notifications.
Ruth nodded, “Then you should join.
It’ll save me the trouble of calling you.”
“I can’t join, Ms.
Wilcox; I’m really not good with that kind of stuff,” Yusuf said with a distressed look on his face.
“If you don’t know how to use it, learn.
Now go.
At one o’clock this afternoon, you need to be prepared to go to the police station on Chaoyang Road,” Ruth waved her hand, indicating for Yusuf to leave.
“But I can’t join the WeChat group; my phone doesn’t have that function,” Yusuf stood up and pulled out his mobile phone, which was an old flip model, probably from the early ’00s, and likely cost around a couple hundred yuan. freewēbnoveℓ.com
“You’re using such an old phone?” Ruth was taken aback and looked at Yusuf as if he were some oddity.
Yusuf was a young man, too.
Young people who don’t use QQ, don’t use WeChat, don’t surf the internet on their phones?
Yusuf nodded, “Yeah, it’s a bit old, but as long as the phone can make calls, that’s fine.
I’m a simple and frugal person.”
“Alright, alright, just go,” Ruth said, thoroughly helpless.
Yusuf certainly was an odd character, but he really was great at chatting nonsense.
She had met many guys, but none who could talk so much nonsense, who were so audacious in her presence.
He was the first!
Perhaps it was because she was usually cold and imposing, so all the men she came in contact with were extremely cautious around her, afraid to even breathe loudly.
Only Yusuf wasn’t afraid of her at all.
Her usual act of being cool or getting angry didn’t intimidate him!
But she found it quite interesting.
Yusuf might have been talkative, but he was a decent person, at least he wasn’t pretentious, he wasn’t hypocritical.
Those men who were deferential to her face, which one of them wasn’t acting high and mighty on the surface while being filthy and lecherous inside?
But Yusuf didn’t pretend to be lofty—if he looked up your skirt, he really did and would even shout that he didn’t see anything while looking.
So Yusuf Zuck was much more endearing than those who pretended to be upright gentlemen.
“Yeah, cute!” After seeing Yusuf Zuck leave, Ruth Wilcox couldn’t help but chuckle because she remembered the scene where Mia was sneakily looking up her skirt.
“Buzz buzz buzz~” Not long after Ruth Wilcox sat down, she received a text message, and when she checked, there was a deposit of seven hundred and twenty thousand into her private account.
Mia didn’t transfer the money to the company account because it would be difficult to explain at the end of the year during the financial review, so putting it into her private account was the best choice.
Soon after the message arrived, Lara Tuff called.
When Ruth Wilcox answered, Lara said angrily, “Is that little security guard still there?”
“He left,” Ruth Wilcox replied.
“I’m so angry, so mad, I’ve never taken such a loss before, he blatantly looked up my skirt, what kind of security guard is that?
Too damn lecherous, right?
Too damn arrogant, right?”
“I told you to put it down, but you didn’t…” Ruth Wilcox whispered.
“How was I to know he would do that?
But Ruth, your security is guaranteed now, that guy knocked out Leo King with one punch, he really did it with one punch, he’s too damn powerful,” Lara exclaimed excitedly.
“Where’s Leo King?
He’s not around you?” Ruth Wilcox asked in surprise.
“He packed up and left.
If he can’t even beat your little security guard, he has no shame, but damn it, I still do,” Lara said, pursing her lips.
“So what will you do now?” Ruth Wilcox asked.
“I’ll move in and live with you, and let him work as my part-time driver.
Haha, and I’ll take the chance to discipline him a bit more, I have to straighten him out!” Lara laughed heartily.
“You might be disappointed, but I didn’t plan to let him live in my house, he’s only responsible for driving me to and from work,” Ruth Wilcox said with a smirk.
“Ah, he’s not living with you?” Lara was stunned.
“Do you think I’m like you?
Just letting a bodyguard live in the house?
It’s inconvenient.”
“But given the circumstances, if you don’t let him stay over and a thief breaks into your house, what will you do?
So it’s best to let him stay until the case is cracked by the police, besides, your house is big enough, what’s one more person?
I’ll come over and join the fun too.”
After hearing Lara’s words, Ruth Wilcox’s heart began to panic.
Indeed, someone was targeting her, and she was living alone; what if that person really did break into her house?
So after thinking for a bit she said, “If you’re also coming over, he can stay at my place until the case is solved.
But aren’t you afraid he’ll look at you?”
“I want to see if he’s got the guts.
I’m going to buy a stun gun and pepper spray, dammit, I’ll mess him up, haha!”
“By the way, I’ve just finished calling North America.
My cousin knows people at the American Blackwater Company.
It won’t take long for me to get a couple of tough guys over to protect me.
Then he’ll see what he’s up against!”
“Hang on, I’m going home to pack; wait for me to shower and get ready tonight!” said Mia, blustering through the conversation before hanging up.
Ruth Wilcox was left with a helpless look on her face.
Mia’s temperament was always like that; she never just took a loss lying down.
…
Meanwhile, today, police officer Ember Vance took a half-day off.
She turned her villa upside down but couldn’t find her service pistol.
She was in a panic, very nervous.
Losing her firearm was no small matter.
Even though her family had connections, if she couldn’t find her gun, she’d definitely not be allowed to stay on the police force.
So she searched her house top to bottom, her car inside and out but could not locate her weapon.
Before going back to work in the afternoon, she realized the gun was definitely lost, but she didn’t want to report it to the station and hoped to find it herself.
Thus, in desperation, she ran to the store, bought a high-quality fake gun to put in her holster, and also began recalling places where she might have lost the weapon and who could have stolen it.
After all, being a detective, she was able to think straight once she calmed down.
Before the afternoon shift, she thought of several people, including Yusuf Zuck, the bomb suspect she had dealt with the day before.
