“He’s got a mouth that never quits,” Mark quipped right back, teasing him. “If you let him stick around, forget about ever having peace again.”

“He’s just making stuff up,” Tom countered, eagerly pitching himself. “I’m the kind of bodyguard who can spot trouble a mile away, and when you’re down or swamped, I’ll be there to lift your spirits–not drive you crazy like he says.”

Mark said, “Don’t believe him.”

Tom said, “Check out my serious face.”

Mark gave him a sidelong glance.

Tom shot him a glare right back.

Neither of them was willing to back down–every glance sparked a silent showdown, both clearly refusing to yield.

Rebecca noticed their back–and–forth, gave it a little thought, then asked, “If I bring you along, what’s the point of having you around?”

“I think fast–if you run into anyone you don’t like, I’ll roast them for you,” Tom said, grinning. “But honestly, my driving skills are way better than Mark’s. I’ve got it covered, no matter what pops up.”

Rebecca looked over at Mark. When he didn’t argue, it was obvious–Tom wasn’t just bragging.

“Alright,” Rebecca said, deciding to give it a whirl. “You’re on driving duty from now on.”

Mark blinked, completely thrown off.

Still looking baffled, Mark muttered, “Boss?”

Rebecca shot him a questioning look. “What?”

Mark squared his shoulders, his tone as serious as ever. “Just a reminder–I’m supposed to be your bodyguard, assistant, and your driver.”

“I know,” Rebecca said, handing him the files. “You’ll still get paid.”

Mark replied, “Understood.”

Tom just stared at them, looking confused.

Tom raised an eyebrow, catching on. “Hold up, what do you mean he still gets paid? Is Mark getting paid for something else besides just being your bodyguard?”

Mark, for once, lied. “Nope.”
