Vendetta: Mysteries that surround it

Chapter 21

" So what is my name again?" Logan Lee questioned raising his eyebrows in disbelief at Alexa.

She sighed," Freddy Dobermann ."

"WHAT THE HECK IS THAT NAME? DOBERMANN, AS IN THE DOG?!!" he shouted at her, very confused.

Alexa put a finger in her ear to cut off the protests of the man standing in front of her.

" Look, Lee, if you want to get an entry in that house. The best way is through Bianca. I know I am risking a lot by setting you with her, but I can't risk you being my bodyguard. Grandpa keeps a close eye on all my men."

"I get it I have to work for your annoying sister. But why that weird ass name?!" He asked her whining a little.

"Because you need to get into her good books. And Bianca loves goofy people, for that you need a funny name and a funny personality."

There was a pregnant pause in between. Logan was giving Alexa an icy glare, while she was trying very hard to look anywhere but him.

" Alexandra Angello, let me ask you one thing. Are you hiring me as your sister's bodyguard or her personal joker? Me?" he continued pointing at himself," Do I look hilarious to you from any angle?"

Alexa was getting annoyed now because of him.

"Look here logan, Bianca's one word, and her father makes that happen. If she does not like you then she can get you fired on the very first day. I am dead serious when I said you need to act more likable."

" But that is so difficult and out of character for me."

"Lee, if you want your fucking revenge then get your act started. And if you will continue being a pussy like this then go back to living your miserable life." Alexa said growling a little while pointing a finger at his chest.

" And by the way try to change your voice a little when you talk to her," Alexa added

"To be goofy?" He asked her, being so done with all of this.

" Mister she is in love with your voice and recognizes it." Alexa snorted a little

A few hours later...

" Freddy Dobermann at your service, Señorita!!" Was the first thing that came out of Logan's throat when Alexa introduced him to Bianca.

It came out in a very high-pitched voice. Very high-pitched.

Alexa's eyes enlarged and she turned towards Logan with the corner of her lips twitching.

Even though she asked him to act like that, this was very unexpected, even for her. She disguised her laugh as a cough and turned her back towards them.

Alexa could feel Logan throwing daggers at her. Facing Bianca again, she noticed something.

Bianca was weirded out.

Alexa panicked quickly, did she not like him?

"Umm, Bianca is something wrong?"

" Uh, Alexa isn't he supposed to be a bodyguard? Like all intimidating and everything." Bianca whispered in her sister's ears.

But it still did not go unnoticed by Logan's ears.

" And Freddy Dobermann? " Bianca continued," What sort of weird name is that? I am telling you Alexa he is not a very reliable bodyguard."

" But aren't all your bodyguards like this? All funny?" Alexa questioned her, very awkwardly under the intense stare of Logan Lee.

" My bodyguards are funny. But this dude? He is supper weird, I had rather have an intimidating one."

Suddenly they heard someone clear his throat.

Heads of both the sisters whipped towards their apparent bodyguard.

" Thank you Miss Bianca for not forcing me to be funny. Unlike your sister."

Alexa tilted her head and raised her eyebrow, what the fuck are you doing?

Bianca was also very confused, waiting for him to explain himself further.

"Let me reintroduce myself, ma'am." He said with his head bowed down a little, in respect and his tone suddenly very professional,

"I am Lucas. A highly trained bodyguard with an experience of seven years. I was informed by Miss Angello, that you like humorous people hence she commanded me to act like one. I am glad you were not fond of that act and I am very apologetic for making a disappointing first impression."

Alexa felt her hand twitch, she was ready to punch him. She knew he saved their ass but,

I spent hours coming up with that name, and this piece of shit disposed it of in a few seconds.

But what was more important was Bianca's reaction to this.

She turned her head slowly to look at her cousin, and she saw a wide-eyed Bianca standing there trying to process what just happened.

And then her feeble voice came out, "Alexa?"

"Yes?" Alexa waited for her to continue.

"I swear I have heard his voice somewhere."

Shit.

 Both Alexa's and Logan's eyes widened in panic.

"Haha. Ha." A very awkward laugh came out of Alexa," Where would you hear him, Bianca? I just got him from Spain, right Lucas? Ha." Alexa said gritting her teeth, now her turn to glare at him.

"Yes ma'am. There is no way you ever heard my voice before, I grew up in Spain my entire life." He replied changing his voice a little, trying not to be suspicious.

Alexa said that country because Spain was one of the few places Bianca had never been to.

"Then why don't you have an accent?" Bianca threw another question at him.

Has she always been this brainy? Alexa cursed her cousin in her head.

" He just doesn't! Stop it already. Aren't you late for college Bianca?" Alexa said while diverting Bianca's attention.

"Oh my god! You are right! That cranky professor will kill me!"

"Lucas will go with you and Robin. Won't you Lucas?"

" Will I?"

Alexa gave him a tight-lipped smile and nod her head.

"Yes, of course, ma'am. If you please." He motioned Bianca to go first.

They both left the house, leaving Alexa behind.

Alexa finally let out a breath of relief.

She sat down on the sofa and rested her head against the headrest when her phone rang.

Lazily lifting her phone she saw the caller id, it read: Headache 2 (AKA her uncle)

Shit. Why now of all times?

Alexa groaned in frustration," Uhhh, why can't I have peace for once!?"
