Tricky Personality

Nicole stood still as she ordered her bodyguard to carry her. She was waiting patiently but her face was showing the opposite as she was frowning. 

Fadz didn't know how to respond right away. Looking at how annoyed his Little Boss was, he wasn't sure where to touch or hold her. He was scratching his head, totally clueless of what to do.

She looked up at her bodyguard as she felt like he wasn't moving at all. 

"Why do you make me wait?" Nicole snapped. "Didn't you offer to carry me?" 

Her tone was no longer calm and soft. She was annoyed that she was standing in front of her house and Fadz is making her wait for something he himself had offered to be done.

Fadz's face had turned pale. He really wished to rather be on a battlefield with bullets raining and bombs exploding in times like this. In times when his Little Boss is demanding for unusual things, like carrying her in his arms when she used to hate being touched. He didn't know how to be careful and his cautiousness was holding him from taking any move to execute the order. He was praying to all gods and deities to help him get through this battle. He believes he can survive any war and alike, easier than this tricky personality of his Little Boss. He was moving his arms up and down, halfway, repeatedly, annoying Nicole even more.

"Boss..?" He called out very, very cautiously. He looked at her face and he was even more frightened to see her displeased. She was angrily staring at his face. Their eyes meet and Fadz quickly looked down. 

If anyone from afar would be watching without knowing Nicole's personality, they would think this view is comical. Fadz is a big, bulky, well-built man while Nicole is petite and stands only to the guy's shoulders in height but the guy appears to be looking scared of the girl. 

"What..?" Nicole answered with her arms crossed, glaring dagger eyes at her bodyguard.

She was going to accept his offer of help but seeing how he was reacting right now was starting to piss her off. She no longer wants to walk on her own. She wants him to carry her, not because he offered but because she demands him to carry her.

"How... can I... mmm.. is it okay if I...?" Fadz was like a stupid boy stuttering in front of Nicole right at the bottom of the entrance stairs leading to the door.

"What?! Is it okay if you touch me?" Nicole wanted to jump down his throat in annoyance. But she exhaled a breath and asked again. "Do you have any ways to carry me without touching me? If you do, fine!"

Fadz thought briefly, he is going to really lose his job if he fiddles or acts aimlessly. She said she didn't want a piggyback, so his options are to carry her like a sack of potatoes or like a baby in a cradle. The first option will surely decide his death, but the second is also a bit more awkward and scary. But then she demanded it. He will have no choice but to obey. And obey right away. He summoned his courage and bent on a half squat position to make his left arm reach the back of her knees while his right arm securely holds her behind her neck.

Then he slowly and carefully moved to lift her up. Nicole did not move her arms folded above her chest. She did not bother making herself secure. She knew so well her bodyguard will never let her fall. Not unless he wants to end his life very soon. Nicole isn't heavy at all. With Fadz's big body built, she is like a baby in his arms. Another reason he was even more careful. He is scared her single move would make him crush her in his hold. He cannot grip her tight, but he is too scared to hold her loosely. To top it all, he was even more nervous because she was glaring at him the whole walk, from the very first step stairs up to the very last step to her room door. A walk that lasted about a hundred steps. He had to walk two flights of stairs, one from the entrance and the other was the stairs going up to the second floor, where her room was.

Fadz was not bothered with her body touching his body, he could not feel any arousal at their contact, his mind was more preoccupied with fright about committing another mistake. He had never seen Nicole as a woman to lust for despite her beauty and unrevealed personality. He respects her as his employer. He even fears her. 

The bodyguards arrived just right behind Nicole's car. They saw the whole incident, but they cannot come close to hearing what Fadz and Nicole were talking about. They can only see what is going on, but they don't know for sure. They started to get more confused when their lady boss held their leader by his arm and walked with her hands holding it. They did not notice Nicole having difficulty walking. They suddenly stopped, and their leader scratched his head. He was looking like a clueless boy in front of their young little boss. They would have cracked laughing had it been a different person Fadz Ling was with right now, but being well aware he is acting the way he is because he is also scared to lose his job, the situation didn't really amuse them. They were worried. Her mood changed very strangely after meeting with that crazy new guy.

Mike is labeled crazy by Nicole's bodyguards because he ran to Nicole, the scariest witch a sane man would surely run away from, not run into. And right now, their team leader is like walking on shattered glass. They are so curious about what makes Nicole upset and what makes their team leader act like a fool. They couldn't help exclaim their surprised reaction when they saw Fadz Ling carry her like a newborn baby lying in his arms.

"Oh, my god! He's going to die soon." One fearfully exclaimed. 

He meant the die word in many different ways. Losing his job, tortured, and literally ending his life.
