Rebecca felt her worries lift a little after hearing that. She asked, “So, what did you do before all this?”

He was tough as nails, easy on the eyes, ran things smoothly as an assistant, and made Meditech work look like a walk in the park.

Rebecca couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Why would someone who’s got his act together choose to work as a bodyguard?‘

Just trying to be myself,” Mark replied, a hint of reflection in his tone.

Rebecca stared blankly for a moment, confused. “Wait, what?”

Mark repeated, “Just living like a real person.”

Rebecca quipped, “So what, you’re not being yourself these days?”

“These days, I’m your bodyguard, your assistant, and your driver,” Mark said, his thoughts turning to cash again. He suddenly called out, “Ms. Jensen.”

Rebecca glanced up.

Mark handled the car smoothly. “So, are you gonna give me a driver’s bonus too? I’m pretty damn good behind the wheel.”

“Deal, Rebecca said easily. ‘If he’s this capable, paying him extra is only fair,‘ she thought.

“Was he just dodging my question on purpose, or did he really not notice?‘ Rebecca couldn’t help but wonder

to herself.

Mark chuckled. “Ms. Jensen, you’re honestly the best.”

Rebecca sat in the car for a while before finally getting out and heading inside. With every step forward, she felt her chest tighten uncontrollably, anxiety building up inside her.

When Rebecca got to Jeffrey’s private floor, she didn’t even step into the room before she could hear Marcus and Candice Hanson arguing inside. Her heart tightened even more.

“Jeffrey, please wake up for me,” Candice cried out, her voice shaking with emotion.

“All because of that Rebecca! If it wasn’t for her, you wouldn’t be in this mess,” Marcus said with fury and blame dripping from every word.

“Now you’re lying here, completely out cold, and she can’t even be bothered to show her face! I just don’t get how you ever ended up falling for someone so cold and cruel!” Candice snapped.
