Chapter nine

“Lisa, you need to be more cautious next time. All bad things happen in just a day!,” Peter warned.

“Kann Ben is just a crazy bastard. However, he has strong allies backing him up. I’m not going to do anything about this yet. I'll plan well before going to ask him what's going on!"

Lisa narrowed her eyes. It would be rash to attack right now. She would take all of them down in one blow with Peter!

“As long as you have a plan, that’s alright.” Peter nodded.

"Peter, you've done so much, more than expected, I have no way to pay you back.” Lisa fluttered her eyelashes sexily, running her hand through her hips.

“It’s no trouble at all,” Peter replied carelessly.

“No, we owe you too much! I must return the favor!” With that, Lisa shot him a sexy smile whining her body gently like a slow motion snake.

“Can I repay you first of all with my body before we marry?

“What?” Peter was as shocked as hell.

He never thought this is what Lisa would say. Taking a closer look, he found that her beauty was different from Mary’s. She was more slender, had bigger boobs and ass, long straight hair, her face was very smooth, her skin glowing like she used a body treatment from space. She could ensnare men with her bewitching charms.

“Why are you so shocked?” Lisa’s breasts heaved as she laughed heartily at Peter’s face. Her scent caught him in this seduction. It was all Peter could do to tear his eyes away from her voluptuous curves. The more he looked at her, the harder it was not to gawk at her figure. He was being tempted so hard.

“Peter, back to the issue at hand. I need to ask a favor from you again.” Lisa ’s expression grew serious, like she wasn't the one that just tried to seduce him.

“What is it?” Peter asked.

“You know that all my bodyguards are stationed at the hospital, so I don’t have anybody to protect me. Now that this incident has happened, no one knows when the next attack could occur, will you be my personal bodyguard?"

"I need you to go with me to cases where I don't need too much people securing me, like gala nights, Atkin meetings held outside of the palace and so on, and you will have to walk along with my assigned security whenever I need you to," Lisa said so eager to have him around her.

“Personal bodyguard?” Peter raised his eyebrows. “Lisa, wouldn’t it be better to go with armed guards?”

“They might be less effective than you. A good place to come with me is today. The Atkin family will be organizing a charity gala night where a lot of personalities would be present. I'm the chief host, representing Mr. Thompson, my dad , so I can't walk up all alone and I'm single." She used this chance to let him know she was free.

"Without you, my hero, such a pretty damsel like me would be vulnerable to any attack."

“Well…” Peter hesitated for a moment and nodded. “Alright, I’ll protect you.”

She giggled, jumping on his body. Peter had to reluctantly support her by grabbing her ass, lest she would fall. She was in bliss.

It was evening at the Atkin Event Center. This was the greatest luxury event center in the whole state and it belonged to the Atkin family. This was where the ceremony was taking place. This hall was a pure heaven on earth with the lovely garden, park close to it, and unique flowers planted at strategic points. It even has a man-made lake and a water fountain which blows different colors of water.

A black Benz stopped at the entrance of the hall. A gorgeous woman dressed in a black evening gown got out of the car. She had flawless skin and legs that were so sexy. Her charming features struck the eyes of many already seated and made them turn to look at her. They began to complement her graceful motions.

“What a beautiful woman! Is she a famous model?” Some who came from other states asked.

“No, she's the managing director of the Williamson group!" The indigenes replied.

"Her face and figure are out of this world!” They commented.

“She is one of the three most beautiful ladies in the state!" One of the men remarked.

People milling at the entrance whispered among themselves, marveling at Mary’s beauty. However, none of them went forward to introduce themselves as they were too intimidated by her elegance and poise.

Mary went to sit with her love interest, Roland and her secretary, Eve who arrived here before her. After pleasantries, conversation started.

“I heard rumors that the Verizon Group is shortlisted to be one of the Atkin family’s partners. It’s not easy to be partners of such a powerful group, especially for Verizon Group. That’s why I’m here to put in a good word on your behalf. This will boost the possibility of signing a contract with the Atkin family aside being a managing director!” Roland boasted, his voice filled with confidence.

The Verizon Group was the company sponsoring Mary, it was a custom to have an outstanding company sponsor a potential politician to office.

“That would be great! Thank you, Mr. Roland!” Eve was glad for her boss.

If the Verizon Group became direct affiliates with the Atkin family, not only would this elevate the company’s reputation, her status as managing director of the Williamson group would rise significantly as well, she might even be given the head of conglomerate of the country someday.

“You’re welcome. Granting my relationship with Mary," he winked at her. "..... this is no trouble to me at all.” He then shot her a deliberate smile.

“Of course, you both are in love.” Eve returned the gesture.

Mary became distracted, her mind was no longer in their conversation but on a luxurious car in the distance. A familiar man was standing by the car.

“Could that be Peter?”
