Song: cigarettes and honey by death by denim.

August 2022:

Scarlett's POV:

This isn't how my days in California were supposed to be. I have no bodyguards with me, leaving me feeling insecure and uncomfortable. My former asshat of the security management had "enough of me" after I caught one of them sleeping on the job. Anyways, I have a meeting to go to. My team is on it, hopefully I can get someone out here by dinner. I have to go to San Francisco for a day then travel through the Central Valley, which is the first for me and a bit odd. This travel is 50/50 of relaxing time but also includes all the business shit. It had to be the central valley, it's sooo dry there. Don't get me wrong I love my job but sometimes I just want to take a break from everything. Colin is with me for some 'company'.We've planned that it was his turn to stay at home with the kids. I don't know why he's here, we even had to leave the kids with my mom and Hunter.

5:00 pm and I was told that they have new security management. My team texted me the details with the profile of the security manager, quickly went through it. So Mx.Rodríguez, the temporary head of security and my personal bodyguard. They're non-binary with 6 years of experience. "Martial arts, boxer, and licensed to carry." The 'Licensed to carry' threw me off, confused with this uneasy feeling but they're only my bodyguard for the next 3 days. I texted Colin about the news and he's already misgendering them. I'm correcting Colin but it's useless to correct this stubborn man. Leaving Colin on read, I decided to text Mx.Rodríguez. I really hope they're not an asshole. Once I saw 'delivered', I returned my attention to this meeting.

Normal POV:

Staring at Mrs.Johansson text, I collected myself as I opened spotify and played my playlist on as I reversed. Her location is about 15 minutes out, so the drive wasn't horrible. I don't know why she's in San Jose, it's soo random and not my norm. Traffic is traffic, so I arrived at 5:45pm. Once I was parked, texting Mrs. Johansson my arrival.

To Mrs. Johansson: Good Afternoon Ma'am, I arrived to your location. I will be alerting the receptionist and seeing through the blueprint of the building. When you're ready to leave, text me a quick FYI and I'll be there.- R

Reply from Mrs. Johansson: Mx.Rodríguez?

Me: Yes? - R.

Reply from Mrs. Johansson: Please get me out of this boring ass meeting. Drop the 'ma'am', I'm not that old.

Me: What conference room are you located at? My apologies for the inconvenience but I prefer to continue with my formalities, ma'am. -R.

Reply from Mrs. Johansson: I'm at RM 225, 3rd floor. Why not and what's with the "R"?

Me: Roger that. You're basically my boss and that's my initial, ma'am. -R.

Texting her while I waited for the blueprints, which are unnecessary now. "Thank you but apparently I won't be needing them, my apologies." I faintly smiled as I headed to the stairs, putting my phone away in my blazer. 

A/N:

I didn't realize how short the few first chapters were, my bad.
