Chapter 2

Elliot's POV

"Are you serious DAD? This is my bodyguard?" Mr. Maxwell's son said something like this is a mistake.

Why is his reaction like that? Like having me as your bodyguard is the most horrible thing that has happened to him.

His dad nodded to confirm his question.

"No. You can't be serious with this Dad. He is not capable of protecting me. Look he is so small like a dwarf; he's not that humongous like I could punch him. He might not be able to protect himself against me Dad!" he said bluntly.

Huh. My eyebrow rose so high that I could feel it in the end of my forehead. Wow. LIKE SUPER WOW. Did I hear it right? I am not capable of this job? Who the hell he thinks he is?! Is he really the son of Mr. Maxwell? Gosh why are they so different? I get it I'm not brawny like them but hey! I'm not slim. I still have muscle in my body. So what if I'm not tall? Does the performance of protecting him will affect it? LIKE DUHHHH?! If you don't like me then I don't like you too, times to infinity!

Liam looked at me and I looked at him. Communicating through the eye about why he is acting like this. Like the heck I know the answer to his question. I just replied to him with a shrug. I don't like this man. He is hot, sexy or whatever you call it but he is also arrogant and barbaric yet sexy. The hell! I should stop complimenting him.

"Dmitri, don't say that! Have a little respect for them. Especially since they are here. Elliot is one of the best in fact, he ranked number one. He is absolutely the best person to protect you from this threat. What's wrong with having a small bodyguard? He is cute and smart plus I will not assign to you a person that will not be able to protect you. Don't judge him right away. You haven't seen him protect you yet." Mr. Maxwell said.

HA! Good to you Mr. Dmitri, scolded by his Dad. HAHAHAHAHA. That happens when you insult someone for being small. Hmphh! I handled a lot of clients even bigger than me but no one, I MEAN NO ONE, except now, complained about me being too weak to be their bodyguard. He is so judgmental. Concluding without even first trying! Is he really a son of a CEO? Where's the professionalism here?

But I kept myself to have a poker face without any emotion. They pay me to protect them so even though I want, I still have no right to complain. I'll just do my job and finish it.

And looking at him, they're still keeping his ego and pride so high, higher than his forehead.

"I'm so sorry Elliot, my son is just overwhelmed because he hates this idea but please bear with him." Mr. Maxwell apologizes.

I smiled at him "Of course, Mr. Maxwell. It's nothing really. I guess, I will just have to prove to him that I can do this job better than anyone else and that you're not wrong Sir in choosing me." I said while putting a fake smile on my face.

He returned the smile "Thanks, Elliot." Then he faced his son "We need to talk to Dmitri Maxwell. But for now, I think, we should eat before you start. I'm getting hungry. Please join us Elliot and Liam this serves as an apology gift for you Elliot."

"Thank you, sir." Liam and I replied as I received a hateful glare from his 'oh-so-kind' son.

***

After a while, the food that Mr. Maxwell ordered arrived. Liam was sitting beside me and in front of Mr. Maxwell while me unfortunately I was in front of the 'oh-so-kind' son.

We stared at each other for a while then he immediately averted his gaze. He's really showing me that he hates me. Well the feeling is mutual. I don't give a damn. I just have to remind myself that I'm here for what his father requests and be the mature one.
