Chapter 154 It Is Her Then

“Sure,” Amelia and Tiffany said in unison.

The six of them moved to another venue. Riley, Howard, and Xander had also changed into their training uniform. “Riley and Howard, shoot,” Gary commanded.

“Roger.”

Standing on two sides with a gun in their hand, Riley and Howard readied themselves. Within ten seconds, the loud bang of a gun being fired sounded.

Riley and Howard had both shot bullseye on their target. Amelia and Tiffany clapped and cheered enthusiastically on the side.

As they were shooting indoors, they had a lot less space to perform.

“Howard, Xander. MMA sparring. Keep in mind—you must display everything you know. I’m asking for the best of your abilities,” Gary urged.

Howard and Xander nodded and answered sternly, “Gary, rest assured. There isn’t a single mission that we didn’t give our best for. Besides, Ms. Winters is an important friend of yours. We’ll risk our lives to protect her.”

Gary nodded. “Good that you’re both aware.” He turned to Amelia and said, “Amelia, what do you think of the three of them?”

“They’re impressive,” Amelia replied. “Their skills are remarkable. However, I’m normally a homebody. Hiring a bodyguard is only a preventative measure. To hire three at once seems like a waste of talent for them. Why don’t I pick just one?”

Gary thought about it and agreed. “Of course. It’s your decision.”

Amelia smiled. “I’m a woman. Having a man follow me around is a little inconvenient. Besides, my husband would be suspicious as well. Therefore, I’ll pick Riley. Howard and Xander are talents. They should be where they are needed most. For three of them to protect me alone sounds like too much of a waste of their potential.”

Gary turned to look at Riley and said, “Riley, Amelia will be your employer from now onward. Remember our company’s objective—Give the right protection, at the right time, for every side.”

“Yes,” Riley answered seriously.

Tiffany clapped her hands and said, “Gary, you don’t have to make the atmosphere so tense. Relax. You made us sound as if we’re ferocious shrews when we’re actually nice people. Let’s not make Riley misunderstand us.”

Everyone laughed.

Riley took a glance at Tiffany, her hostility lessening as well.

“So, can we sign the contract yet?” Amelia questioned.

“Of course,” Gary answered. “Riley, Howard, Xander, you’re dismissed for now.”

The three of them silently nodded their heads and turned around to leave.
