Everleigh looked at the busy street. She stretched her hands out and zipped up her jacket. Then, she walked towards her car.
Before she got to her car, a honking sound came from behind, so she turned around. She saw Theodore sitting in the driver's seat of a car, his gaze set firmly on her.
She did not hesitate. She walked over and opened the car door. Then, she got into the car.
"Shouldn't you be at home by now?" She asked.
"I was waiting for you." He spoke in a charming voice which reverberated throughout the car.
She was surprised. Although his words seemed normal, she just couldn't suppress her feelings.
"Let's go." Her cheeks were flushed, and she didn't know whether it was because of the wind outside, or out of shyness.
Neither of them spoke, but her stomach rumbled.
"What do you want to eat?" After Theodore heard the growl, he turned his car around and headed towards a restaurant.
"Anything, as long as there's something to eat." Everleigh lowered her head after she spoke. She was pretty embarrassed by the loud rumbling sound coming from her stomach.
He peeked at her and noticed her expression, but he remained silent. He knew that she was feeling embarrassed, but he just couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.
They arrived at a restaurant. Just as they were about to enter, he stopped moving and glimpsed to the left subconsciously.
His eyes were like flames as he narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous aura.
When she saw him staring motionlessly in that direction, she couldn't help but ask, "What are you staring at?"
"Nothing. Let's go in." He didn't tell her the truth.
She knew him very well. He didn't look fine at all. However, she didn't ask any further since he wasn't willing to say anything.
Inside the restaurant, Everleigh ordered a few dishes. Afterwards, she gobbled down her food.
Theodore didn't mind at all. He filled her plate with food, and even helped her to peel shrimps.
She ate a lot. Her side of the table was already clean, but his side was still full of food.
"Aren't you going to eat?" She asked.
"Nah, I'm not hungry. Everleigh, has someone been following you for the past few days?" He didn't want to scare her, but it was better for him to be straightforward.
He didn't want her to be caught off guard.
Her expression froze. "Were you staring at the two guys outside just now?"
"Yes." Theodore nodded seriously. His eyes were filled with concern.
"It's a misunderstanding. They were sent here to protect me," Everleigh had almost forgotten that Cecil had hired two retired members of the special forces to protect her, so that they wouldn't affect her daily life much.
She must have been too busy to forget about it.
He was slightly startled and asked, "From who?" "It's Lenold, Cecil's brother. He sent them over to protect me. They are military veterans, so I believe that they are good at it. I forgot to tell you about it just now," she explained.
Upon hearing that they were there to protect her, Theodore was much more relieved.
In fact, he was also worried that Wilson might do something bad to her. It was indeed a good thing that she had people protecting her.
After they ate dinner, they left the restaurant. Everleigh and Theodore both glanced in the same direction. The two bodyguards were no longer hiding. They walked out from the dark corner.
They were both tall and well built, giving off a murderous vibe. It was easy to tell that they were professionals in their field.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Trevino," they greeted her.
"Hello." Everleigh couldn't help but tremble a little as she heard their hoarse voices.
"I'm Caleb Scott, and he's Reid Meaker. We are both here to protect you. We were supposed to meet you once you walked out of the hospital, but this man here picked you up, so we decided to follow you here," Caleb explained.
