The four of them summarized the day's situation, devising a general plan to protect Huangfu Shaohua, with each person having a clear division of duties.
Daisy deliberately chose tasks that didn't require her to be too close to Huangfu Shaohua, focusing on external observation to avoid awkwardness.
She left the security company and waited at the bus stop for her ride home.
However, she watched the bus she was supposed to take drive past without boarding, her mood somber and her desire to go home diminished.
She was currently living with her parents. Although they made a conscious effort not to mention Huangfu Shaohua in front of her and pretended nothing had happened,
they were constantly trying to cheer her up when she returned home. In reality, they were no less distressed than she was.
Therefore, she always acted as if nothing was wrong in front of her parents, showing great enthusiasm for starting a new life. Yet, only she knew in her heart that the unforgettable pain was impossible to forget.
Feeling down and finding nowhere to go, she sent a message to Susu: "Are you free to meet up?"
But after waiting for a long time, she received no reply from Susu.
Just as she was about to find a place to have a drink alone, her phone vibrated with an incoming call.
Thinking it was Susu, she looked and saw it was the company's manager.
She pulled herself together and answered.
"Daisy, the client you are protecting needs to go out for a business meeting. You need to go to the hotel where he's meeting the client to protect him."
"Now?" Daisy hadn't expected to see him again less than two hours later, with her emotions still unsettled.
The manager said, "Yes, the client has the right to summon you at any time, twenty-four hours a day. Do you have a problem again?"
"I don't have a problem. Send me the hotel address, and I'll head over right away." Daisy knew that the high salary in the bodyguard profession wasn't easy to earn. Not only did they have to prioritize the client's safety above their own lives, but they also had to comply with the client's various requirements and commands related to personal safety.
The manager quickly sent her the hotel's location.
Daisy arrived at the hotel restaurant but didn't see any of her colleagues or anyone from Huangfu Shaohua's entourage.
At that moment, a restaurant server handed her a room key card and asked, "Are you Ms. Daisy?"
"Yes."
The restaurant server said, "Mr. Huangfu asked me to give this to you. He has finished dinner with the client and has returned to his room."
"He wants me to go to his room?" Daisy did not take the key card.
The server replied, "When Mr. Huangfu instructed me, he said this was the key card to the room next to his, and that while we are to protect him, we must not interfere with his private life."
Daisy then took the key card and asked, "When he was dining, did you see anyone else with him?"
The server thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Huangfu probably had two or three people with him. I didn't pay much attention."
Daisy wondered if her other three colleagues had arrived earlier.
Holding the key card, she prepared to go to the room to find out.
Leaving the restaurant, she glanced around before entering the elevator, ensuring she wasn't being followed, then entered the elevator and went directly to the floor of the rooms.
As soon as she exited the elevator, she received Susu's reply: "Sorry, I was just with the kids in the playroom and didn't have my phone with me. Yes, where would you like to go?"
While looking for the room number on the key card, Daisy replied to Susu: "Something came up, let's reschedule."
As soon as she sent the text, she reached the room number indicated on the key card. Without thinking, she swiped the card, pushed the door open, and walked in.
However, she didn't see any other colleagues, only Huangfu Shaohua standing there, staring at her with deep, intense eyes.
Daisy felt that something was wrong, very wrong.
Huangfu Shaohua had deliberately lured her to this room. She tried to remain calm, her expression blank, and said in a professional tone, "Mr. Huangfu, I am here to protect you. If there is no danger in the room, I will stand guard outside."
After speaking, she intended to leave the room.
However, Huangfu Shaohua pulled her towards him, closed the door with a swing, and locked it.
Daisy warned him, "If you don't let go, don't blame me for being impolite."
Huangfu Shaohua's face was flushed. He had drunk quite a bit before she arrived and said indifferently, "If you want to hit me, go ahead. Hit me, hit me hard."
Daisy pushed him away and said, "Don't think I won't dare to lay a hand on you. I'm not afraid even if you complain about me."
But Huangfu Shaohua not only didn't release her, he directly kissed her lips.
Daisy thought she would punch him until his teeth were scattered, but she couldn't resist his passionate kiss.
She thought she had forgotten his scent, but it turned out that deep down, she had missed his scent.
In the past, their kisses were always filled with affection, a desire to become one with each other.
But now their kisses carried resentment, unwillingness, and the release of longing.
Huangfu Shaohua's kisses became more and more frenzied, as if he wanted to absorb her entirely into his body.
He pressed her directly against the wall and, no longer content with just kissing her, began to tear at her clothes.
She suddenly came to her senses, kicked him away, and questioned, "You deliberately tricked me into coming here just to do this with me. Mr. Huangfu, if you want to vent, I can call specialized service personnel for you."
Huangfu Shaohua stared at her, not with anger, but with heartache and confusion, and asked, "Why didn't you tell me..."
"How many specialized service personnel do you want?" Daisy was afraid to face his gaze. She didn't need his sympathy or pity.
She fumbled for the hotel service guide next to the room's landline, wanting only to quickly call and arrange special services for him.
Huangfu Shaohua rushed over and knocked the service guide out of her hand, asking loudly again, "Why didn't you tell me you were framed and set up? Why!"
Daisy realized he knew, he knew everything.
She had also thought countless times about how he would react when he knew the truth, and what he could do, but in the end, she felt it was better that he didn't know all of it.
"That thing has already happened. What can you change by knowing it?" Daisy said faintly. "I have indeed become very dirty. What is the point of you questioning me now?"
Huangfu Shaohua embraced her again, his voice gentle as he said, "I'm sorry. I didn't know anything and I got angry with you and said those hurtful words. What dirty? I don't despise you. I'll prove it to you right now."
Saying this, he kissed her nape.
Daisy's heart filled with sorrow. She pushed him away forcefully and said, "Mr. Huangfu, you are drunk. I am just your bodyguard now. Let me escort you back."
"Daisy, what do I have to do for you to stop being angry with me?" Huangfu Shaohua asked helplessly.
Daisy said seriously, "I am not angry with you. We are already divorced. My affairs have nothing to do with you anymore. Please stop this. If you don't want to go back now, then rest well in the room. I will stand guard outside to ensure your safety."
