The moment the door to her father's office opens, Emily turns and mentally prepares herself for what's to come. She thinks; "Stay strong, this is only temporary so stay cool" as a mantra.
She turns and looks at the woman who walks in. The moment their eyes meet, it takes her breath away. A feeling arises in her stomach that she has never had before. In addition to her brown eyes, she has medium length blond hair, she is a head taller than Emily and, as she sees now, she has an enormously trained body. She's dressed cool and casual as if she doesn't care what anyone thinks of her. But what she immediately feels is the authority she radiates. The moment she sees her lips move, she shakes herself awake and hears what she is saying; "Miss Anderson, nice to meet you I'm Liz Wilson your bodyguard".
She takes the outstretched hand and says "Hi, nice to meet you"
"Omg Emily... nice to meet you?" she thinks sarcastically.
Liz then goes to her father and introduces herself to him. Emily now realizes that this is one of the few times someone introduces herself to her first. Usually her father is the one in the spotlight.
At that moment, she hears her father cough to get her attention. And she realizes that both are looking at her.
"Emily, from now on Liz will walk with you 24/7. No exceptions. She comes to your apartment and guides you with everything," says her father with his businesslike, stern tone.
Despite knowing this, she feels the blood drain from her face and has to swallow for a while.
"Hey, I know this is difficult but I'll do my best to make it as easy as possible for you. We'll work it out together and I'll keep you safe, trust me" she hears Liz say to her calmly.
"Trust?" Emily thinks as she looks at Liz and suddenly she gets the feeling that the bodyguard's words may well be true...
