Chapter 1064 - Event at the White Rock Lake (4) (1/2)
In the guesthouse…
Sarah and JoAnna found a spot to sit and observed other bodyguards. Based on the small groups which formed and the casual atmosphere, the two sisters concluded that many of them know each other already.
It didn't take long before one bodyguard approached them. ”You seem new. Who is your employer?”
Sarah looked at the tall bulky man and responded with a Russian accent. ”We are associated with the White family.”
”Marcus?”, the man assumed.
Sarah's frown told him that he is wrong. ”Jeffrey and Aiden.”
They went through the reminders about the Russian culture where females don't smile to men unless they are very familiar with each other or they want to be familiar. As part of pretending to be bodyguards with the Russian background, they need to act the cultural part as well.
The man gave a knowing nod. ”They are here the first time.”
”You attended these events more than once?”, Sarah asked.
The man didn't hide it. ”My boss does. I sit here with guys and play cards until he is done. It's rare to see females as a security, especially to this kind of events. The White brothers are either very confident in your skills or don't care if any harm comes to you.”
JoAnna tensed up and Sarah's eyes lit up. ”Harm? What kind of harm are you talking about?”
By this time, few more bodyguards approached the trio and were listening.
The man smiled, showing that he is missing a front upper tooth. ”You don't know what kind of event this is? It is the one where females are not safe. They bring in bunch of girls and the ones who are not willing at the beginning of the evening, by midnight will be too drunk or drugged to care what is happening to them.”
Sarah's emotions stirred, but she kept her calm demeanor.
”And how is that related to any harm happening to the two of us?”, she glanced at JoAnna.
The man frowned slightly, irritated that she didn't get it. ”You are females, at this party.”, he said matter-of-factly.
Sarah snorted arrogantly. ”I want to see who thinks that he can lay a hand on any of us.”
The man straightened his back and grinned. ”Do you want to take this outside?”
Sarah stood up. She is not the one to step away from the fight.
”What do I get if I defeat you?”, the man asked with a glee. How can he not defeat a woman who is half his size (widthwise)?
”Defeat me?”, Sarah sneered. ”If you land one hit, you can do whatever you want with me. But… what if I win?”
The man paused and blinked twice before breaking into a hearty laugh. ”If you win, I will quit my job and serve you.”
Sarah agreed but…”Why would I allow a man to serve me if he can't defeat a delicate girl like me?”
The man was taken aback. ”Hey… I am more than just a pile of muscles and skills. I'm with my employer for a long time. I'm sure that White brothers can make use of my knowledge.”
”Who is your employer?”, JoAnna asked.
”I work for the Morgan family.”, the man responded arrogantly. It seems that the Morgan family name should have some status in this circle.
JoAnna and Sarah exchanged glances. Morgan? Isn't that Penny's (aka Harriet's) family?
Well, it does not matter. Seeing how most of the bodyguards are looking at Hill sisters, both of them silently agreed that the show of strength is necessary.
Sarah and the man faced each other and JoAnna with other bodyguards made a circle around them. Except for few men who were engaged in their card game, everyone else came out to the lit-up tennis court behind the guesthouse to watch the show.
Sarah glanced at the audience. ”Anyone else?”
