Mr Bodyguard, Protect Your Heart!

Lisa stood there as she squinted her eyes towards the car that was disappearing from her vision. And she did not avert her gaze until the car completely went out, as if doing that would drill a whole through it, and directly hit the driver’s and the passenger’s head knocking some senses in their heads.

BIG FAT STUPID CREEPS, they were.

Lisa humphed as she remembered how Dove looked when that man mistook her for Dante’s wife. She was stunned to even correct that man. And thinking about that, Lisa’s heart broke for her friend.

She knew for a fact that no matter how much Dove tried to portray that her feelings for that man was just a passing thing, Lisa knew that it was more than that. It went deeper.

Lisa sighed. But then her beows furrowed again, when she recalled Dante’s face. Dove must be naive and innocent in love, having no prior experience about it ever. But Lisa? She was shrewd in this category!

The look in Dante’s eyes! Lisa could swear it was not so simple. Anyone who at that moment had looked at him could clearly tell that, that man did not look troubled or dissatisfied when his guest mistook Dove as his wife. Instead it looked like he was happy!

Not to forget the way his demeanor was towards Dove. Anyone with eyes and working brain cells would say that he was interested towards her.

But the situation?

In conclusion, either that man is lying or he has a big mental issue!

Lisa had just huffed and taken a few steps back without turning when she collided with something behind her back, her eyebrows furrowing as she yelped, "Ouch!" Where did this wall come from?

And right when she turned, her eyes met Calix’s who was walking with his eyes concentrated on a file in his hands. Calix raised his head too, with a same kind of frown on his face, and an instictive apology on his lips, "I am sorry."

And when he saw who it was, she raised his brows in mild surprise, saying, "You? You did not leave yet?"

He saw Dante’s car leaving quite a while ago. So it was surprising that Miss Dove’s friend was still standing here. Anyway, he did not think of it much and then said considerately, "Well, then Miss, it’s getting late, you should go home safe." And just after saying this, he was about to go in his path to his car, when he his sleeved was tugged and stopped.

Turning his head, he found Lisa tugging his shirt. Meanwhile, there was Lisa, who was in a trance while looking at that face!

She almost whistled out loud looking at him. Damn! Dear God, you make quite some premium pieces these days!

First Dante and then this one!

That is a different matter that Dante is liked by her bestfriend. And that man has some serious issues with his brain cells.

But this man here looks FINE!

"Miss?" Lisa only blinked back to reality when Calix called her a couple of times. Damn! His voice was sexy too! Lisa almost bit her lower lips!

Clearing her throat, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is your name?"

The frown between Calix brows deepened, not knowing why would she suddenly be interested in knowing his name.

But for some reason he just blurted out, "Calix. Calix Reign."

"Calix.." Lisa softly murmured the name under her breath, and oh heavens! How did she realise how enticing the name sounds from her mouth. And thinking of that, she but her lower lip, between her teeth.

Calix tilted his head to the side in confusion, finding this woman in front of him interestingly weird. He asked, "Is there anything else you want, ma’am?"

Lisa broke out of her stupor of impure imagination involving him, before she cleared her throat and said, "Yes, I do want something."

Calix nodded his head slightly to show that he was listening, and heard Lisa say, "I want your private contact number."

"...."

A quack of silence fell over them. Wasn’t this a little to direct and weird?

Calix for a moment did not know how to react, before he coughed awkwardly and said, "Ma’am, may I know for what good reason?"

Of course, he had to ask and handle it carefully, since a strange beautiful woman directly comes up to him asking for his private contact information. Not to mention this woman was very closely associated with the future lady Boss, who was also his sister in law. If he makes even a slight mistake, that demon of his cousin who be coming to take his head with a scythe.

Lisa blinked her eyes, wondering if her charming techniques are getting rusted. She mostly did not have to do much while asking someone for this kind of things, specially when she is the one being proactive, thanks to her popularity and looks.

But anyway, she answered as a matter of fact, "Many good reasons."

" ...." Calix had no clue what to say anymore. But somewhere deep inside him, a warning gong was ringing loud, ’a mess he wouldn’t be able to come out of it easily’.

Yet somehow, he did not think of it much. "Elaborate please." Calix blurted out.

Lisa rolled her eyes, already having a hunch that this man was a novice. Come on! I am being so direct! Was this man actually slow in getting it or is he deliberately trying on playing it hard?!

If it would be anyone else, Lisa would have just rolled her eyes, say, ’Whatever.’ and walk away on her high heels. But as she saw that handsome face of his, and the way her heart was pounding the more she looked at him, she knew she had to get him on her bed at least once.

So, keeping her cool, she stepped closer to Calix, invading in his space to share his air, and when she stood just a couple inches away from him, she looked up.

And for some reason, Calix should have backed away as decency and proprietary, but he didn’t.
