Hedrine's pov.

I wake up the following morning excited to get started at work.

I awake to the smell of bacon in the air which provokes a fierce growl from my tummy.

Guess I should have eaten more than a marmalade sandwich for supper.

I scurry up from under the sheets to take a look at my room, realising i didn't do that yesterday.

The room is beautiful. It's floors covered with a beige coloured carpet that brings out the rose colour of the walls. It has a beautifully crafted table with a mirror which am guessing is my make up area.

I smell the aroma of what is been cooked down stairs again and this time I quickly scurry out of bed and go down stairs.

I step in the kitchen, and Diana addresses me without even turning to see me.

'Good morning Miss Kesler'

'How did you know it was me?' I ask completely surprised.

'Because its just us two in this house!' She answers as she swirls around to look at me as if to say isn't it obvious?.

'And here I was thinking you were such a badass body guard. ' I retort painting a disappointed face and Diana gives a giggle as she slides me a plate of bacon, which I happily accept and dig in.

I quickly gobble up my breakfast and give my compliment to the chef. Or in this case the bodyguard, and I go back to my room to get ready for my first day at work.

In the bathroom attached to my room I take a quick bath , put on a Grey suit paired with silver stilettos and I pull my hair into a ponytail and step out of my room .

I hear Derrick laugh from out front and as I edge closer,I see Diana laughing as well.

'Cheerful this morning aren't we?' I say as they both flinch and Diana pulls out a black iron from the side of her waist.

Is that a gun??!!

"It's just me" I yell as I wave my hands in surrender and my body goes rigid from having a gun being pointed at my head.

'Sorry about that madam it's just a reflex' she says as she returns the gun back to it's spot on her waist.

'You need to calm down Diana. I just wanted to get in on the fun.' I blurt out as I readjust my suit and move towards the car. Diana tries to open my door for me and I stop her.

'I got this. You have more reflexive issues to deal with don't you think?'

She retreats and gets in her usual seat across Derrick as he ignites the car and takes me to work.

Why do I even need a bodyguard. Am just an assistant in a real estate company. How much danger does that put me in!!

We arrive at a beautiful building but this one is smaller than the tower I was at yesterday.

I step out of the car and walk up to the receptionist. As am about to speak to her, Miss Sullivan steps into the room.
I turn and she spots me.

'Right on time Miss Kesler. I see you really don't slack off. ' she say offering me a warm smile. 'Well I better introduce you then.'

She claps her hands in mid air and gets the attention of the entire room.

'I wish to introduce our new financial advisor and my assistant Miss Kesler.'
