chapter 3 dream

"And Mr. Colt just said, Ravager saved your life!"
"Someone as capable as him being a bodyguard, how could I not want him?"
Liora, being a woman, had a natural advantage in speaking.
At least Necris wasn't forcing the issue anymore.
But to verify if Liora was telling the truth, he still looked at Ravager. "Ravager, what's your decision?"
"I did come here to interview with Miss Curry first, and she did interrupt the interview just now!"
"But since Miss Curry said the interview passed, I'll stay here for now!"
"Thanks for your kindness, Bro Necris!"
Ravager said calmly, omitting some details.
"Well then!"
Hearing Ravager's words, Necris stopped competing for him. After all, he was a reasonable person, respecting the principle of first come, first served.
"Since you've agreed with Miss Curry, I won't take what's yours!"
After saying that, Necris turned and walked away.
Liora instinctively thought Necris was ending negotiations because of the competition over Ravager.
She quickly spoke up, "Mr. Colt, we haven't discussed the contract yet!"
"The contract?"
Necris smiled faintly. "Miss Curry, what contract is there to discuss? Out of respect for Ravager, I'll waive the five percent profit!"
"You should thank Ravager!"
"I have another business negotiation to attend to, so I'll take my leave!"
Finishing his words, Necris, as if recalling something, slapped his forehead, took out a business card, and handed it to Ravager. "Ravager, this is my business card. If you need any help, give me a call, and I'll do my best to assist you!"
Ravager took the card. "Thank you, Bro Necris!"
Liora watched as Necris left with his entourage, stunned on the spot.
All the preparation for negotiation.
Gathering the elites from various departments of the company.
Discussing projects for several nights.
All the negotiation outcomes had been considered in advance.
But no one expected it to be resolved so easily.
So much so that Liora pinched her cheek to confirm if she was dreaming.
The slight pain made it clear that she wasn't dreaming.
And the reason everything was so smooth.
All because of the involvement of an outsider.
A young man who nearly wasn't wanted by Golden Age Group when he applied for a bodyguard position one morning.
That was right, just such an inconspicuous young man.
Yet he made all this happen.
"Let me reintroduce myself, Liora, President of Golden Age Group!"
This time, Liora politely extended her right hand to Ravager.
"I'm Ravager!"
Their right hands clasped together.
Ravager felt the smooth, boneless skin in his grasp.
Liora felt the calloused, tough skin in her palm, a bit rough but oddly comforting.
"Thanks for today!"
Liora continued with the pleasantries.
Ravager gave a slight smile. "If you want to thank anyone, thank Bro Necris, not me!"
He remained calm and composed, not in a rush to take credit.
This Ravager suddenly made Liora, who had seen countless people, a bit unreadable.
"Oh, by the way, you mentioned earlier that you just retired. Which unit did you serve in?" Liora asked.
Ravager stood straight, answering with just two words, "Secret!"
"Tsk!"
Liora rolled her eyes at him. "Fine, keep it a 'secret' then."
"Miss Curry, can you brief me on my job? It's a bit uncomfortable being stared at by so many people here!"
Seeing Ravager's expressionless face, Liora, for the first time, lacked confidence in her charm.
Even the CEOs of those conglomerates all bowed down to her, flattering her, and obeying her every word.
How did she end up with such a tough nut to crack?
"I hired a bodyguard, and naturally, you follow me. Where I go, you go!"
Liora said angrily, then turned and walked away.
Ravager remained silent, following behind her.
After leaving the Golden Age Group's gate, Ravager didn't understand their destination. "Miss Curry, where are we going?"
"Since you're going to be my bodyguard, come home with me first and let my parents take a look at you!"
They arrived at the parking lot, where a white Maserati stood out in the sunlight.
Luxury cars and beautiful women were enough to make any man's hormones surge.
But Ravager still sat quietly in the passenger seat without any reaction.
Liora, sitting in the driver's seat, contemplated for a while, then turned to Ravager. "Take off your clothes!"
"Huh?"
Ravager's mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg.
After being dumbfounded for a while, he awkwardly said, "Miss Curry, although you're beautiful, isn't this request a bit too much?"
"But I think matters between men and women should be seriously considered!"
"After all, we've just met!"
Upon hearing this, Liora's face turned red and white in embarrassment.
"What are you thinking?"
"What's on your mind?"
"I told you to change! Quick!"
Liora threw a bag from the backseat to Ravager. "When meeting my parents, shouldn't you dress more formally?"
Ravager felt like Liora's request made some sense.
But why should he, a bodyguard, change into a formal suit when meeting his boss's parents?
It felt somewhat like meeting the in-laws.
Couldn't put his finger on what felt off, but it was odd.
"Change if I say so! Hurry up!"
With that, Liora got out of the car, giving Ravager some privacy.
Five minutes later, Ravager stepped out of the car in a tasteful suit. His years of exercise made the suit fit perfectly, highlighting his muscular physique and giving off a vigorous aura.
It truly reflected the saying, 'Apparel makes the man.'
Seeing him, Liora was stunned for a moment, then realizing she had lost her composure, quickly looked away. But she couldn't help but compliment, "You look quite handsome!"
"Yeah, quite handsome, but I don't understand, why do you have men's clothes in your car?"
"And I look so decent wearing them too!"
This question arose when Ravager changed his clothes.
"A secret!"
Liora only said two words before beckoning Ravager, "Get in the car, we should be on our way!"
As the car started, the exhaust let out a roar, attracting the attention of passersby.
With a press of the accelerator, the Maserati turned into a streak of white light, speeding away.
Emerald Villa Area.
Located in the Kingsbury suburbs, surrounded by 400 acres of native forest, it was filled with detached villas, belonging to the affluent area of Kingsbury.
The Maserati finally entered the gates of the Emerald Villa Area.
It came to a stop in front of a three-story garden villa.
Ravager got out of the car, looking up at the villa. "Miss Curry, this house must be expensive!"
"When it was first sold, it was 30 million per unit, now it must have gone up by 20 million!"
Ravager sighed, "When will I ever have such a big house!"
"Work hard, and you'll have your bread and butter too!"
Liora laughed, leading Ravager into the villa...
