Ian was unsurprised by Laney's choice. He was certain that Laney wouldn't let anyone take his place just because of his gender.
"Mrs. Harding, this will be one of your wisest decisions ever," he said.
Laney couldn't help but smile at Ian's confidence and replied, "Looks like you're very sure of yourself." "I carefully examined all the information on you when I learnt that I was going to serve as your assistant," remarked Ian.
Despite his apparently modest demeanor, Ian couldn't hide the air of self-assurance that came with his words. "That's why I'm well aware of your allergies and your situation, Mrs. Harding."
"Really?" Ian's confidence gave Laney relief and she took a deep breath to relax.
Ian smiled slightly and said, "I believe I'll be able to serve you well. Of course, I'm also skilled in taking care of children."
Laney, laughed out loud, amused by Ian's words. The last bit of bias she had towards Ian's gender disappeared with his words.
"You are a very interesting person." Laney couldn't help praising him.
In the past, people also questioned her ability as a bodyguard just because she was a female. In reality, she was better than her male counterparts in many aspects.
Therefore, as she put herself in his shoes, Laney decided not to dismiss Ian based on his gender.
Meanwhile, while the two were talking, Garrett came in with Laney's favorite snack. He exclaimed, "Honey, look what I brought you..."
Before Garrett could finish his sentence, he saw Laney smiling and talking to a stranger, and his handsome face immediately darkened. He approached Laney while on high alert and questioned, "Who are you? What are you doing in my wife's ward?"
Ian slowly bowed his head in respect and said, "Hello, Mr. Harding. I'm Ian, the personal assistant that Mrs. Larson specifically hired for Mrs. Harding."
