Fane thought that the fact that these girls were driving such nice cars meant that they neither needed nor lacked money. He thought that it was odd that they were here just for a wage of two thousand a month.
As for his mother-in-law, he was rendered speechless by how she caved in just because a couple of twenty- something -year -olds called her “big sister'. In fact, it looked like Elaine was even younger than Selena.
"Alright, this is my first time seeing such a youthful auntie!" Elaine said cheekily.
"This girl is so sweet-mouthed. Since you're our bodyguard now, I don't want to unnecessarily complicate your life. Just show me what you're capable of. For example, you can spar and show me if you can do a backflip. If I feel like your performance is okay, then stay!"
Fiona was so happy that she did not want t o make life any harder for the young women.
Unexpectedly, Elaine said, "That's way too simple. We should perform something that has a little more difficulty!" As soon as she finished her remark, she walked to the corner of a nearby wall, picked up a red brick, and asked Orchid to hold it up high i n her hands.
"Don't tell me you're planning to split the bricks?" Fiona swallowed. She thought that if the ladies could do this, it would be really impressive. She knew that not many bodyguards would be able to do something like that.
"Ah!"
Elaine stepped forward lithely, using one hand as a knife, and slashed the brick with one arm. Sure enough, the brick split into two right down the middle. "Beautiful auntie, how's that? By the way, I find all these acts way too easy for me! Now do you think I can protect you?"
Sure enough, that piece of brick was split i n half. "Auntie Beauty, how about it? These are all trivial, but is it enough to protect you?"
"Yes, yes, you can. You silly girl, you look so delicate and tender. I didn't expect you to b e so amazing!" Fiona was already up in seventh heaven after being served so many compliments by Elaine. At this point, Elaine was already the apple of her eye.
"Auntie, do you want the nine of us to all split a brick for you?"
Orchid looked around her, she could not even find that many bricks.
"No need! I believe you now. Looks like I really lucked out this time!"
Fiona waved her hand, looking at Fane, and laughingly said, “Your friend truly picked some capable bodyguards. Furthermore, these ladies can go shopping with us and even help us pick out clothes!”
Fane did not know if he should laugh or cry. He could not believe that just a while ago, she almost kicked these women to the curb, and now she had changed her mind s o fast. 'These women are just really strange creatures!' he thought.
"Mother, didn't you say earlier that women bodyguards aren't good enough? They aren't my pick!" Fane bitterly smiled and said to her on the side, “If you don’t like them, I can just ask for men!"
"No way, men will not be able to follow us o n our shopping trips. That's not convenient! I think these women are pretty good!” said Fiona sternly. She saw Jenny coming and immediately waved at her. " Jenny, the bodyguards are here. Take them with you and arrange their accommodation. They need to have a good rest so I can take a few of them out shopping with me tomorrow, and they can protect my safety!”
