Coolest Girl in Town

As soon as Elise and Alexander entered the building, they saw the two men who followed Elise struggling against the rope tying their arms behind their backs.

"Boss, Ma'am."

Two loud voices came from the living room, prompting Elise to turn her head to look. She first recognized Clement, that bodyguard of Alexander's who had never liked her much, and her eyes fell to his side on a muscular man half a head taller than Alexander.

"Raymond?" she guessed.

Alexander once mentioned to her the Four Guardians of Smith Co., namely Johnny, Melody, Clement, and Raymond.

Johnny and Melody were responsible for handling business affairs, Clement secretly made sure Alexander was safe, whereas Raymond was assigned to develop business in Africa back then. He was the best fighter among the four. That brawny body of his made him easy to recognize.

"As expected of you, Ma'am. One look was all it took for you to know who I am," Raymond grinned.

His honest appearance made him look much warmer than the robotic Clement next to him.

"The two of them will be responsible for protecting you from now on," Alexander mentioned, to which Elise nodded.

"I'll have to trouble you both, then."

"It is our responsibility to protect you, Ma'am. No trouble at all. Please feel free to instruct us if you need anything." Raymond earnestly patted his chest.

Being a bodyguard was nothing compared to the tough time he had in Africa.

He had already decided that this was a job he wanted to keep until his retirement!

Affected by his enthusiasm, Elise couldn't help but smile. "Don't worry. I won't hold back."

"Did you get anything useful out of them?" Alexander interrupted lightly.

"Not yet." Raymond walked over. "We were waiting for you to interrogate them yourself, Boss."

As he spoke, he leaned over and tore off the tape on the bound men's mouths.
