Fiona always hated having a hangover. However, this time she felt like having a headache and focusing on the pain was better than thinking of what she did last night. It wasn’t only embarrassing. It was definitely something she never expected to do.

 

“Hey! Are you listening to me?” Candy’s voice brought her back from her stupor. She held the phone closer to her ears.

 

“No. I am having a terrible headache.”

 

“Well… I have been waiting in the office for the last thirty minutes. Did you forget? We were supposed to meet with the client today!”

 

“Client?” Fiona frowned before she facepalmed. “Oh! I remember.” She knew Candy was rolling her eyes on the other line. “I— I will take a quick bath and see you at the private villa. Send me the address.” Without waiting for Candy to say something, she ended the call and turned off her phone. Then she laid back on her bed and stared at her white ceiling.

 

She closed her eyes, hoping to forget her aching body, probably from doing it after a few years of celibacy. Fiona covered her face with her hand, muffling her scream. Aside from her headache, her body felt sore. Her legs could barely move. Her arms felt like she did some push-ups. She felt terrible.

 

Fiona didn’t know how the hell she was able to run away at four in the morning without waking him up. Maybe it was the fact that she acted like a cat running away with her ruined dress and no make-up on her face or maybe it was because just like her, he also felt all his energy vanish.

 

It was probably because they did it in every corner of that suite room.

 

She grimaced and jolted up before she tiptoed towards her bathroom. She needed a long… long hot bath. After thoroughly cleaning herself, Fiona chose a gray turtleneck, pairing it with white jeans and gray boots. Then she grabbed a scarf that could further cover her neck. She curled her long hair, making it drape over her shoulders. Obviously, she didn’t want anyone to notice the hickeys.

 

Cursing inwardly, Fiona didn’t know why she didn’t stop him from doing that to her body. She knew it would take at least two days for the hickeys to disappear and that might be an inconvenience for her job. After checking her perfect make-up, Fiona nodded in approval and grabbed one of her designer clutches before leaving the house. At this point, she knew that Candy would strangle her for being too late. However, she felt it was all justified.

 

She just had her first one-night stand!

 

Alright, maybe she should hide this fact from her nosy friend. Fiona arrived in her parking lot and chose a small pink Volkswagen. It was girly, something that she always used every time she met some women clients. She turned on her phone and checked out the address before frowning. She actually recalled the address that Candy gave her before her birthday. And this wasn’t the address that she sent now.

 

“Where are you?” Candy’s voice was almost like a whisper. “It’s been an hour! Are you— “

 

“This isn’t the address that you gave me the last time.”

 

“I know. Change of plans. He just arrived… but he looked a little tired? I don’t know! Just come here before we lose the client. The payout is pretty good this time.”

 

Fiona snickered. This woman really knew how to make her interesting. Since she hadn’t read the contract yet she had no idea about the payout yet. “Alright… I’ll see you in a few minutes,” Fiona said. She knew it should take her a while to arrive in the penthouse because of the traffic. But who cares? Usually, their clients knew how exclusive their bodyguard company was.

 

WILD and WICKED is a private security company owned by Candy and Fiona. At first glance, it looked like an escort company. However, beneath its name, was a very private security company composed of women. WILD and WICKED is a company who employed women that would be perfect for a bodyguarding job.

 

Most of their employees were women who retired from the military. Some were like Fiona who was trained in martial arts and gun handling since she was young and would like to start a new life in the US. Of course, the company was a legal one.

 

Their clients were pretty big-time people too. Most of their clients didn’t want anyone knowing that they have bodyguards. So, they hire someone from WILD and WICKED and make the woman act as their secretary, driver, among other things. Some would want the women to become their child’s bodyguard and make them act like a nanny.

 

It was like an undercover bodyguard. It was fun and challenging which Fiona absolutely loved it.

 

The thick traffic made Fiona sigh. She bit her lips before she opened her phone and checked the email that Candy sent her about this client. Inside the email was the reason why he wanted to hire her. Apparently, his grandfather was dying and people were now fighting over some inheritance.

 

Weird but totally common for rich folks especially the ones in the East. After reading the client’s background, Fiona couldn’t help but start to feel a little interested to know about this man’s family. So… he was from Hong Kong and he was the CEO of Han Interiors and Constructions International or HICI. He was thirty this year and still single. Apparently, he wanted her to become his secretary to protect him from people who wanted to harm him and women who wanted to marry him.

 

Weird.

 

Why did he need a woman to chase away the women who liked him? Just as she laughed inwardly, she scrolled down and froze. Her eyes widened as she stared at the familiar gray eyes that made her squirmed last night!

 

Lu— Luca? Luca Han?

 

It was as if a cold bucket of water was thrown at her head as she gulped. Memories of last night once again resurfaced in her head. Without having second thoughts, she dialed Candy’s number.

 

“Fiona? Where the hell are you?” Candy answered.

 

“Candy… I…”

 

“Is there something wrong?”

 

“No. I just have a very bad headache. Please give this job to another person. I don’t think I will be able to do it.” Fiona immediately switched off her phone and decided to head back home.
