“Just remember, don’t let your heart soften and make you forget everything that happened before,” Mark added, noticing her confusion.

Rebecca’s curiosity only grew. “Have you ever been hurt by love?”

Mark shrugged, “I’ve always been single. No one’s had the chance to break my heart.”

Rebecca teased, “Then where’d you pick up all this relationship wisdom?”

“A true pro always has a countermeasure ready before trouble even starts,” Mark said, without a hint of emotion. “I’ve read just about everything out there, binged all kinds of movies, and gathered wisdom from just about everyone. That’s how I know.”

Rebecca glanced at him a few more times, unable to hide her curiosity.

Mark grinned, “If you had to score me as a husband, what would I get out of ten?”

Rebecca shrugged, keeping it real. “No idea–I’m not your wife, so I can’t exactly judge.”

“Just imagine I’m your husband,” Mark pressed, refusing to drop the subject. “So, what would my score be?”

Rebecca gave him a skeptical look. “Got your eye on a girl?”

Mark blinked, thrown for a loop. “Huh?”

Rebecca teased, shooting him a cheeky grin. “Or maybe it’s a guy?”

“If you’d rather not answer, that’s totally fine. But you shouldn’t go around assuming what your bodyguard is thinking,” Mark replied, totally straight–faced. “Since it’s your first time, I won’t hold it against you.”

Rebecca thought for the umpteenth time, ‘Mark’s mind really runs on a different track than everyone else’s.

To this day, she still couldn’t figure Mark out.

“Where will I be staying over the next few days?” Mark asked. His logic was a little unusual, but when it came to assignments, he never let Rebecca down.

“Third room on the right, first floor,” Rebecca replied. She’d already had Victor set everything up for him. “If you need anything, just let Victor know.”

Mark nodded. “Got it.”

Rebecca just hummed in response.

Rebecca had barely walked a few steps when Victor approached, looking hesitant, like he had something to say but couldn’t quite spit it out.

Noticing his awkwardness, Rebecca cut right to the chase. “You need something?”
