The car soon pulled up to the restaurant.

Rebecca hadn’t said a word the whole way. She seemed indifferent to everything Jeffrey did, like a puppet

“What is it?” Jeffrey asked.

Gregory reported. The bodyguards for Ms. Jensen are ready. They’re good talkers, good–looking, and know how to fight. Do you want them to start today or wait a few days?”

It hadn’t been easy to find men who fit all those requirements. Gregory had spent quite some time on it.

Jeffrey paused, then quickly replied, “Send them to Rebecca’s Manor first. If she likes them when she gets home, keep them. If not, give them some money and either let them go or keep them on as bodyguards for the group.”

Rebecca ignored him, showing no interest at all.

When they got back to Rebecca’s Manor, she was stunned to see a neat row of young men, all about twenty, handsome and standing in the garden.
