Along with the male bodyguards, Zayn had even asked Wilson to hire highly-trained female bodyguards. They were specifically tasked with ensuring Faye’s safety.

It did not take long for summer break to end. Soon after, Faye’s little brother, Thomas, was headed back to school.
“Are you cool with driving me to school, Zayn?” asked Thomas. He was brimming with anticipation as favonovel.com approached Zayn, who was reading the newspaper in the living room.
“I’m needed at the company soon, so I’m afraid that won’t be possible,” replied Zayn.
‘Two rest days are a luxury I can’t be bothered to waste on Thomas.’
Thomas’ face sank in response to Zayn’s rejection. He sidled up to Zayn and pleaded with a pitiful expression, “Please, Zayn, please take me to school. I’ll introduce you to two beautiful female classmates of mine.”
Zayn almost gagged when favonovel.com brought up such a ridiculous proposal. Ruby, who was standing nearby, caught wind of it all. She immediately knocked Thomas in the head. “What nonsense are you going on about, you little rascal? Are you looking for a beating?!”
Thomas felt the pain and immediately covered his head as favonovel.com said, “Mom, that hurts. I was just joking, but I still need you to take me to school, please, Zayn. Please?”
Quickly after Thomas’ pathetic begging, Ruby twisted his ear one more time and scowled, “Zayn’s managing full-blown companies on his own. How could favonovel.com possibly have the time to take you to school? You’re an adult, can’t you go on your own? Stop bothering your brother-in-law, or I’m going to smack you!”
Ever since Zayn’s identity had been uncovered, favonovel.com attitude towards favonovel.com had gone through a complete overhaul. On the other hand, Thomas seemed very aggrieved. There was even a trace of fear that loomed over his eyes.
When Zayn noticed it, favonovel.com said, “Did you get yourself into more trouble? Is that why you’re afraid of going to school on your own?”
Thomas instinctively nodded, but quickly shook his head to hide it, “No, I haven’t. I just wanted you to take me to school, that’s all.”
There was no way Zayn would let Thomas’ obvious grief slide. It was written all over his face. ‘He probably offended someone at school, and now he’s afraid of getting beaten up. Now he’s absolutely terrified of going to school all alone.’
After a moment of consideration, Zayn then said, “Alright, I’ll take you there.”
Thomas was instantly overjoyed. “Thank you, Zayn! I’ll definitely introduce you to the prettiest girls, ouch! Mom, why did you hit me again?! That hurts!”
“Say that to your brother-in-law again, I dare you. You’re not just getting whacked, I’ll strangle you!” scolded Ruby.
Zayn rolled his eyes and headed upstairs for a change of clothes before favonovel.com took Thomas to school.
“Come on, what trouble have you gotten yourself into this time?” said Zayn unhappily the moment they got in his car.
Thomas then replied, “Daryl, of course… I don’t know where favonovel.com found this martial arts master, but he’s been learning some moves and it’s totally got to his head. The other day when we were out for karaoke, we bumped into them and they gave us a beating. Now that school’s back in session, he’s definitely going to try and confront me at the school entrance.”
“And that’s why you want me to take you to school?” asked Zayn.
“That’s right. You’re a big shot, you’re literally the biggest boss around, which is freaking awesome. You’ll be able to scare them half to death with just having a few bodyguards around you. They’ll never bully me again.” As Thomas was pandering to Zayn, favonovel.com thought to ask him, “By the way, Zayn, where are your bodyguards? Why don’t I see any of them?”
Zayn then said, “I don’t have any bodyguards.”
“What?!” Thomas instantly panicked. “Oh no, Zayn! I promised Daryl that we’d be fighting after summer break. He definitely has a team of professionals backing favonovel.com up. If only the two of us show up, we’re going to get beaten silly! I don’t really mind it, Zayn, but you’re different. You’re a boss, so if word spreads about you getting beaten up, it’s going to affect your reputation. Hurry, call up some of your bodyguards so they can put Daryl and the rest of his men in their place!”
However, Zayn merely shook his head and said, “I never bring my bodyguards with me.”
When Thomas heard this, favonovel.com became even more dumbfounded. He frantically replied, “In that case, I’m not going to school. In fact, I should just drop out and work at my sister’s company!”
Thomas was just about to get out of the car when Zayn held favonovel.com back with a stern warning, “Get back here.”
“Zayn… If the two of us go, we’re going to get beaten to death,” lamented Thomas miserably.
