- 3.
I opened my eyes, meeting Sarah’s eyes next
to the hot tub.
When she was a bodyguard, she was with
Tony all the time. I had had my suspicions.
But when I thought about how she was my
decoy, protecting me, the guilt pushed those
doubts away.

I looked at her, confused by her innocent act.
What did her being hurt have to do with me?
The next second, Sarah exposed a red mark
on her collarbone.
“Mrs. Moretti, if you still feel bad, you can
always drug me like you used to, if you want.
It really doesn’t matter.”
Her fake act made me realize
She had me pegged as her servant?
Before I could say anything, Sarah had
already expertly got the medicine cabinet.
My eyes landed on the red mark, and my
heart sank.
“Sarah, are you sure this is really from
avoiding gunfire?”
She gasped, covering her wound, her face
flushed.
“Mrs. Moretti, you misunderstood me, it really
is just a wound…

But as I looked up, I met her smug eyes, and I
く
was even more sure that it wasn’t a wound,
but the marks of Tony spending the night
with her.
When I thought about how she had used this
as a reason to let me put medicine on her so
many times, I felt disgusted.
I got up to run to the bathroom, but Sarah
grabbed me:
“Mrs. Moretti, you can finally see it now,
right?”
“Actually, I really did get hurt in the
beginning, but it was for Mr. Moretti, and Mrs.
Moretti was so worried about putting
medicine on me, so I said yes. As for these
marks now, I blame Mr. Moretti, he even said
that he wanted all of my body to have his
marks…”
As she stroked the marks on her body, her
eyes filled with happiness.
I pushed her away, but she immediately fell in
the hot tub.
“Mrs. Moretti, what did I do wrong? Why did
you push me?”
My heart tightened, and when I looked back, I
met Tony’s angry eyes.
He got out of the hot tub and took Sarah into
his arms.
He walked up to me in anger.
“Jenny, what are you doing?”
Before I could say anything, Sarah leaned
against Tony, and acted all innocent.
“Mrs. Moretti might just be upset, so she
suddenly got mad at me, it’s all my fault, I
shouldn’t have bothered her.”
I looked at Tony, and lost the desire to
explain.
After putting on my robe, I was heading back
to my room.
Tony grabbed me. “Jenny, are you… mad?”
He completely let go of Sarah, and pulled me
to him. “I, I was being mean just now, but it’s
because I was worried about you. After all,
it’s not easy to find a shield like Sarah, so
you won’t be in danger.”
I looked up at Tony. “I don’t think she’s good
enough! Get somebody else.”
