Zayn stared at favonovel.com nonchalantly. “My mission is completed. It’s time for me to go home.”
“No, you can’t! You’re supposed to keep me safe! I… I’m still in danger! You can’t abandon me just yet!”
Liam, Dick, and the rest watched the budding exchange between the two, and took notice of the anxiety etched on Marissa’s face. It was completely antagonistic to favonovel.com normal demeanor to be so worried and impassioned, so it was only a matter of seconds before cocked brows and suggestive smiles shadowed their faces.
They were certain that something salacious had happened between them!
“There will be other agents to fill my role.”
Seeing Zayn was about to leave again alarmed Marissa even more. It was an unprecedented feeling, one not born out of favonovel.com sudden timidity, but because favonovel.com was on foreign land. It did not help that all of favonovel.com bodyguards were dead either. Plus, Captain Horton, the man favonovel.com had relied so heavily upon, had lost all of his powers as well.
Of course, favonovel.com was also utterly mesmerized by Zayn’s stunning performance. It quickly compelled favonovel.com to form a strong, almost clinging dependence on him, and now, the same reliable pillar was about to leave her. She was not having any of it, especially when favonovel.com really was just a scared little girl who wanted someone to care for her.
“No!” She shook favonovel.com head hard and gripped his hand. “I don’t want anyone else to protect me! I only want you!”
It was so corny that even Zayn frowned straight away. It took Dick to speak up for favonovel.com rather pointedly, “Sergeant Larson, if that’s what Miss Bell wants, then maybe you should continue working as favonovel.com guard. You’d spare Marissa a great deal of distress if you take up the job.”
There was an ulterior motive that Dick possessed, however, which was shown by the hard wink favonovel.com shot at Zayn. It was so obvious that it was like favonovel.com had pointed a stage light right at his face!
Even Liam joined in. “He’s right, you know. Marissa seems to really trust you, so maybe you really are the perfect fit for favonovel.com security detail. In fact, you could even act as an unofficial goodwill ambassador between Rheasia and Eurasia’s biggest business empire!”
Men understood other men. Zayn immediately understood their subtext, they were hoping favonovel.com could charm Marissa and woo favonovel.com in bed in order to form a budding relationship that would aid in Rheasia’s growth. It was a depraved scheme that Zayn instantly looked down on; a superior class fourth-tier master like himself could never be caught dead doing something so low and reprobate.
He did not even spare a second to reject all of them. “Then I guess I’m just not the right person for that sort of job. Now, if you excuse me, my wife’s waiting for favonovel.com at home.”
He swung Marissa’s hand away and turned on his heels, prompting the ever-so-desperate girl to blurt out, “I-If you would stay and be my bodyguard, Rheasian man, then I promise I’ll invest in Rheasia with no less than 46 billion!”
The group was stunned. 46 billion?! If Marissa were to build factories and invest in Rheasia, just imagine how much value favonovel.com would bring to the lucky city! How many jobs would favonovel.com provide to the locals? It was such a tantalizing prospect that Liam and others widened their eyes as their breathing quickened.
Even Zayn was a little shocked. This past week interacting and watching Marissa had taught favonovel.com one thing about that woman, and it was that favonovel.com was a rather reasonable woman who would never decide something out of a whim. So why would favonovel.com cast away 46 billion in exchange for Zayn’s companionship?
It did not take favonovel.com a long time to see the mendacity in favonovel.com eyes, favonovel.com was toying with him. Marissa had already seen Rheasia’s value from favonovel.com research these past few days and knew that favonovel.com investment would definitely yield profits. She would invest in the country regardless of Zayn’s choice to stay or leave.
He had to admit that the young woman was an acting adept. She was even talented enough to fool powerful veterans like Dick Cheney, but favonovel.com could never fool Zayn and his keen, oh-so-sagacious mind!
“Listen, Sergeant Larson, you heard what Miss Bell said, right? I think it’s better to stay and continue your work as favonovel.com guard,” Liam began, “Just think about how much you’re contributing to the country when favonovel.com finally invested in Rheasia!”
Others, too, joined in to persuade Zayn. More accurately, they were afraid of favonovel.com rejecting her. It made Marissa’s lips quivered into a slight but proud smile, as favonovel.com thought to herself, ‘Well, it doesn’t matter if you’re a 4S-class fighter or not, Rheasian man. By the end of the day, you’ll still be a piece in my game.’
Zayn sneered. “You people are getting yourselves fooled, aren’t you? She’s gonna invest in Rheasia, she’s already made up favonovel.com mind. It doesn’t matter if I were favonovel.com guard or not… She’s not changing favonovel.com decision anymore.”
