Her Seven Little Bodyguards

Chapter 249

Jacob is an example of that, Hanson thought to himself. Hearing that the boy had agreed for Vania to help him sort out his clothes, he subconsciously touched his wallet. Luckily, I've got plenty of cash.

With that, the four kids and Hanson left the room right away before sitting face to face on the couch.

James asked, "What would you like to say? Shoot."

Hanson smiled at the four kids without his usual commanding air as the president of the company. He suggested, "Why don't you make a list of how much you're gonna charge me? I'll pay you guys in advance."

The instant he said that, Jacob immediately lost himself in thought.

Seeing how he frowned as though he had yet to reach a conclusion, Jack spoke. "Go outside and wait for us. We'll discuss it for a moment before telling you our conclusion."

Hanson cooperatively stepped aside to leave the space for the four kids.

Jacob asked thoughtfully, "What do you guys think?"

"Why don't we agree to it first? We don't have to worry that he'll really do anything in our presence, anyway," James replied as he analyzed the situation.

Jack agreed as well. "That's right. Let's get his money first before anything else."

Jude nodded as well.

After some discussion, the four kids finally reached a unanimous decision. Jacob called Hanson over from the outer room, saying, "We agree to your conditions for the time being. We'll send the list to your cell phone later on."

Jack then added with a frosty expression, "Be sure to keep it a secret. If we find you snitching on us to our mom, we'll definitely snitch on you to her in return. By then, you won't be able to keep on staying here anymore."

Hanson immediately put up his hand in agreement. "That's of course. This is a secret between us men."

Seeing that the immediate danger was averted for the time being, he stood up to leave. Just as he was about to leave, however, he recalled something and asked puzzledly with a smile, "Could you guys tell me why you are so hostile toward me?"

Because you're a jerk, that's why, thought the four kids to themselves, but they didn't say it out loud. Instead, they replied frostily in chorus, "Nope."

"Alright then, I'll wait patiently. You guys are gonna tell me the reason sooner or later, anyway," Hanson replied. These four little kids saw everything in black and white, so he didn't believe that they'd pick on him for no reason. There must be some misunderstanding behind this, he thought.

Meanwhile, the instant Hanson and the four kids stepped out of the room, Vania, who was putting his things in order, received a text message on her cell phone. It was a text from Melanie that read, 'Are you going out with Hanson?'

Vania sneered for a moment. Then, not bothering to answer Melanie's boring question, she locked her phone right away.
