“OK, Lorenzo do we need to have a conversation about how this is a work conference and I can look after myself? I seriously don’t want or like being rude, but tonight is about my career and I won’t have anyone screw that up for me because I hug a work colleague or a friend puts their hand on my back or arm while talking to me?”
“As long as it isn’t inappropriate, you won’t even know I’m there.”
“You’re not just another guard are you? Cousin? Long-time friend?”
He shook his head and smiled “Step-brother.”
I let out a breath and grumbled under my breath “Yeah, no more surprises.”
“You asked” he chuckled as the elevator door opened
