Olivia was still calm. She asked, “Are you in need of money? Is there anyone else in your family?”
Logan scratched the back of his head. “Yeah. My mother is living in my hometown, and there are also afew cows.”
“You’re not married?”
“People in my profession don’t have time for love. Even if I get married, my wife would be alone most ofthe time. So, I decided not to put any woman through that.”novelbin
Olivia continued to ask, “Where did you used to work?”
“I’ve been wandering around my whole life. My family was poor when I was young. I enlisted in thearmy later.
“After I was discharged, I worked in many different places. I’ve worked in casinos and pubs. I’veworked. as a personal bodyguard and hired muscle. I’ve worked all the hardest jobs for money.”
“Who was your previous employer?”
Olivia wasn’t the kind and innocent girl she used to be. Her expression was calm, but she exuded acommanding presence.
She became more mature, and she no longer trusted anyone.
Logan answered smoothly, “My previous employer was the owner of a casino. I was basically his hired.muscle that collected debts for him.”
“The job should’ve paid well, right? Why did you stop working there?”
“The pay was good, but I made a major mistake.”
“Oh? Tell me more.”
“When I went to collect a debt with some men, the debtor was struggling financially.
“According to the policy, if the debtor couldn’t pay up, we would have to bring the wife to our place towork off the debt.
“Their daughter knelt before me and begged for mercy. I helped them… So, I lost my job.”
Keith added, “Don’t worry, Olivia. I’ve looked into his background. He isn’t lying. He only came to usbecause he crossed the local gangs.
“A trusted friend referred him to me. He’s a very capable fighter. He’ll be able to keep you safe.”
Olivia nodded. “Okay. You can stay.”
Her attitude was cold. She also set some ground rules.
Logan wasn’t allowed to step foot into her room without expressed permission.
When he was not needed, he must stay at least 10 feet away. Also, he must not try to strike upconversations with her.
Basically, he was of no use when they were at home.
Logan was very obedient. He would lean against the wall with closed eyes, lost in thought when Oliviasunbathed in the yard.
He was exactly 10 feet away from Olivia.
Olivia looked at him.
His hands were crossed, and his head was lowered like he was asleep. It was a very casual stance,but it reminded Olivia of Ethan.
She frantically shook her head. She must be crazy to think about that man again.
Although the two of them were similar in build, their personalities were wildly different.
Besides, Ethan had pale skin, while Logan was tanned..
She had just seen Ethan’s cold and elegant demeanor on a live stream just last week. He wascompletely different from this rugged man before her.
Logan rarely looked at Olivia. He would be like a robot in hibernation mode if Olivia didn’t c… on him.
During meals, Olivia and Tasha would eat first. Logan would eat after Olivia returned to her room.
After Mona’s passing, Olivia didn’t want to get close to anyone else, even if it was her bodyguard.
If they got close, even if they were just friends, it would make saying goodbye that much harder.
The best way to handle it was to remain distant.
Olivia leaned back on the lounge chair as she was reading a medical book. Coincidentally, there wasalso a plum tree here. A plum blossom fluttered down and landed on her book.
She looked up with a wandering gaze. She would frequently think about Snowball, who used to lay onthe
A lot of her memories felt like they just happened yesterday.
She could remember every image vividly, but the people and moments had already passed her by.
There was no going back.
