Versailles Series Book 4: The Bodyguard [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 2

=== P A T C H ===

The next day, I went to the province with my boss, Winter. 

"C'mon, cheer up will you? Are you not happy to be in a new mission?"

I crossed my arms. "What's there to be happy about?"

"Well, this dude is not your typical politician. You know..."

"This is still a boring ass job, Winter."

"Hey, a life is at stake here. It's not your typical mission. I told you, somehow, it matters that you do this job well. It's just a few months before the election. How hard can it be? It will pass by in a jiffy."

"At least give me the things that I requested."

Tumango ito. "Yeah, yeah. I had the guns you wanted. Even that Ducati you wanted. For someone who is suspended, it looks like I'm even spoiling you."

"At least that makes this mission a little bearable."

Tumingin ako sa labas at namangha sa ganda ng probinsya na iyon. I was used to cities or vast wastelands in my missions. But this place...there were urban areas but majority of it was still untouched. The mountains were beautiful and the plains at the bottom were a sight to see. Maraming puno at bulaklak sa gilid ng kalsada. 

Maybe this is what I really needed. 

Hindi ko na maalala kung kailan pa ako huling nakapunta sa ganitong lugar. Peaceful. Kung ide-describe niya ang buhay niya, malayo iyon sa pagiging peaceful.

"Here we are."

Lumabas ako ng sasakyan at tinignan ang property. The house looked like a typical mansion. It had some old vibe in it with the capiz windows and all that.

Sumabay ako kay Winter papasok ng bahay. The house was huge. There was enough ventilation inside because of the big windows. Maaliwalas din sa loob dahil na rin sa natural na liwanag na pumapasok. 

The maids were lined up on the side probably to greet us. They weren't dressed like typical maids. They are just in normal looking clothes. Napansin niya na matiim na nakatingin ang mga ito sa akin.

Nilapitan kami ng isang lalaki. "Sir Winter."

"Hey Erwin. Here is my agent, Patch. I'm sure you've heard of her."

Tumango ito. "Hinihintay na po kayo ni Madam Inocencia sa patio."

Sinundan namin ito papasok. I just put my hands inside the pockets of my leather jacket. The home was beautiful indeed. Even if the outside looked old, the furniture and interior designs were very modern. It screams wealth and fortune everywhere I look.

Nang makarating sa patio ay nakita namin ang isang babae at dalawang lalaki. Tumayo ang mga ito nang makita kami. Erwin did the introductions. Both of us just shook their hands.

"So, this is your agent who will pose as my son's girlfriend?"

I can feel the scrutiny of the woman's eyes on me. From my hair to my toe. Kulang pa iyon dahil inikutan pa ako nito.

Sheesh lady, what's the problem?

I feel confident with my appearance. My straight hair is long and silky it reached my butt. With my Chinese heritage, my skin was as smooth and white like a porcelain. I am tall compared to an average Filipina.  I speak English eloquently since I kinda grew up in the States. There's no hint of accent in my speaking, not that it matters. Men tried to flirt with me every now and then but gets turned down the worst way possible.
