Chapter 187:

Alice felt like she had picked the worst possible time to come in.

It was the first time she saw Caden with another woman. What did their agreement say again? They wouldn't meddle in each other's personal lives. Their business was over, and they weren't in a relationship.

So, she wasn't supposed to get involved, right?

Alice tried to calm down as she looked for a place to sit.

Despite this, she kept glancing around the office. She couldn't help but wonder what was going on inside. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

At the office, Hank led the woman to Caden's desk. “Mr. “Ward, you’re here.”

Caden looked up and frowned.

"I asked for a bodyguard. What the hell is this?"

Although her tone was harsh, the woman remained unfazed and indifferent. She was undeniably beautiful, but she had an intimidating presence.

Hank leaned in close and whispered, “I felt the same way when I first met her, but…” He cleared his throat, lowering his voice even further. “She's bigger in size than you.”

Caden was taken back. He looked back at the woman before asking, “A man?”

Hank shook his head. “No, I meant his muscle mass.”

Caden was speechless.

Hank urged the woman to show her abilities. She took off her coat, revealing muscles that could rival those of any bodybuilding champion. She looked like a female bodybuilder in plain clothes.

His appearance was surprisingly different with the coat on than without it.

Caden's demeanor softened. “Please put your coat on.”
