Me And My Bodyguard

CHAPTER 4

                  I just woke up in the morning. Wait. No. It’s already in the afternoon, I get used to it. I stretch my body, cracking my stiff bones and ready for the bath. Suddenly, someone knocks on my door. "Come in," I asked. Then, it was my loyal butler, Sophie Scars. She's the one who takes care of me ever since I was a little. I already thought her as like my mother and she’s dearie to me. "Oh, it was you." I glanced at her.

"You are late, my dear. Do you want me to make a hot bathtub?" She asked softly with a gentle smile. "Yeah, of course," I said as she makes her way to my bathroom.

No longer after that, I went into the elevator and push-button to the dining floor. The adrenaline starts to kick in, knowing Papa will start nagging a lot of things later. Just I arrived to the dining room, seeing Papa is there. Here we go again.

"Good 'morning', Ellise," Papa sarcastically remarks. "Don't even mock me, Papa," I groaned, taking my seat opposite him that it was only fifteen feet from him.

"I heard you just fired, your bodyguard again. Isn't?" Papa asked before he takes a sip of his glass of juice. That must be that jerk told him. "He's taking advantage. Do the wrong thing with my friend, he deserves it," I spoke.

Papa glanced at me as he crossed his arm. "I don't understand about you. You've always fired them with a ridiculous reason. Now, I have to find a bodyguard for you."

"Then, you don't have to! I can take care of myself!" I snapped. "Don't you even raise your voice at me! I know what best for you! Now, you will have a new bodyguard by tomorrow. Is that clear?" Papa sputters.

Boy, I never saw Papa was too upset with me.

I just ignored as he left just like that. Then, the servant serves me a lunch. "Have your lunch, Miss, Ellisiana," As he bows at me and walked away. Now, I'm alone without anybody. I observed at my dining table which fifteen people can fit for having lunch on this table. 

I just ate my lunch until I leave the dining room to the foyer. I asked my driver to take me to the mall and meet Annabeth there. I wondered who'll be my bodyguard? Does he willing to be my bodyguard?

After arriving at the mall, as usual, Annabeth already there at the café shop. Then, I saw Rachel was there too. I didn't know she will be coming with Annabeth. 

Rachel saw me and ran to me. Immediately she engulfed me in a hug. "Rachel? What's wrong?" I asked, confused and pulled back. "I'm sorry from last night. I shouldn't have a date with Flint. I know you will be mad at me," She whimpered.

"Rachel, don't worry about it. Why am I supposed to mad at you? You are my best friend. I just love to fire my bodyguard with no reason." I said to ease her. Thankfully, she believed. Annabeth walked toward us and lean her arms around us. "So, who wants to go shopping?" Annabeth bluntly asked as we agreed.
