Chapter 281: Three line of defenses

The Next Day...

[Pierson Corporation: CEO’s Office]

"Mr. Pierson, your worries are now gone! As long as we’re here, we will never take our eyes off you — we won’t even blink!" _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}

Benjamin jumped back when the men standing before them shouted in unison. His eyes widened, and his heart raced nervously as he took in the sight of the men in black suits and sunglasses standing at full alert. His face twitched until it looked entirely twisted.

’Why do they all look like a bunch of troublemakers?!’ he cried internally.

Some of the bodyguards had clean-shaven heads, while others had tattoos. Since their uniforms didn’t include ties, the first three buttons of their shirts were unbuttoned, revealing large tattoos on the sides of their necks. Some had so much ink on their bodies that it extended past their wrists.

And to top it off, there were even some older men — old enough to be his uncle or grandpa — in the group!

This was not what he expected, nor was it the same as the bodyguards she deployed to other important figures! Benjamin and the CEO’s team had done their research, after all. Most of the people the Prime Group deployed to assist or guard an individual looked professional and respectable.

But this group seemed lacking in every way!

Was this her revenge on him?!

’What is going on?!’ Benjamin mentally wept. ’She said she would give us her best guys, but they look like a bunch of gangsters who turned into loan sharks!’

"Miss Penelope!" he exclaimed in dismay when he couldn’t take it anymore. "What’s the meaning of this?! Do you think we’re a joke to you?!"

Penny, seated on the long divan, arched a brow. "What do you mean by that, Mr. Vitt?"

"Who are these guys?!" Benjamin harrumphed, pointing at the group of rogues in the room. "You said you would give us your best men! But what is this?! They don’t look like they could do a good job! Moreover, if people saw these guys walking with my boss, they would think he hired some small-time gangsters off the street!"

Penny frowned and cast Zoren a look. "Can I kick him out?"

"What?!" Benjamin gasped. "You can’t just —"

"Kick him out."

Benjamin’s breath hitched as Penny waved slightly. As soon as she did, some of the men in the front line marched toward Benjamin.

"Wait, wait..." Benjamin took a step back, nervously darting his eyes between the approaching men. "Wait — no!"

SLAM!

Penny smiled in satisfaction when Benjamin’s voice stopped abruptly as they threw him out and closed the door.

"I’m sorry about him."

Penny chuckled. "Don’t worry. I understand, Mr. Pierson." She then snapped her eyes back to the men standing before the set of couches where she and Zoren sat.

"So? What do you think?" she asked, and Zoren kept his gaze on her.

"I feel much more reassured now," he said, thinking that was the question.

There was no way she was asking him what he thought of their appearance, considering his current eye problems.

"Hehe." Penny couldn’t help but giggle triumphantly. "If you could see them, you’d probably have the same reaction as your assistant."

"I doubt it." Zoren squinted at the men before them, then rose from his seat. "Thank you for accepting this job. I entrust my life to you."

Zoren’s smile stretched. ’I never thought of that, but it sounds convenient.’
