Chapter 34: Manuel's Last Will?

Kate: [I miss you already]

Reading Kate’s text made Carlos smile.

Carlos was in his New York penthouse, ready to leave for his meeting with Officer Baker. The other day, when he left, he gave Kate a secured phone, and the same gadget already had his new number saved.

Before taking the lift, he took the chance to send Kate a text back: [I miss you too. I’ll be back before you know it.]

The sound of the elevator doors opening caught his attention. His eyes landed on Lemuel, his head of his security.

“Sir, this way,” Lemuel said, guiding him to the back entrance of his penthouse building.

“Have you added bodyguards to follow Kate around?” Carlos asked.

Lemuel cleared his throat and replied, “Sir, um. Miss Wright has six soldiers following her around. She doesn’t even realize it. Plus the two we have commissioned from the security agency, she now has eight protectors.”

“Good,” said Carlos. “Nothing is more important to me than Kate.”

“Understood, Sir,” Lemuel acknowledged.
