Savannah frowned. She guessed that Dylan expected the bodyguard to stay with her until she became pregnant.
He wouldn't give her any access to any birth control pills.
She could not take a tough stance. Dylan would probably not allow her to go out if he was aroused.
It seemed that the only way was—a honey trap!
She put her palms together, giving the most miserable performance, and said to the bodyguard, "Sir, please…I won't make it difficult for you, I just beg you to stay away from me. I don't want anyone to know where I live or who I'm with. You're so tall and so handsome. If you're too close to me, everyone would know the story! Mr. Sterling only asked you to follow me, and he didn't say how close to me, did he? You are still following me when you are twenty feet behind me!"
Savannah's cheeks were delicately flushed, and her eyes bright and sparkling. She looked pitiable but appealing when she gazed at the bodyguard with her limpid eyes.
The young bodyguard's heartbeat accelerated. No wonder Mr. Sterling chose this girl from so many women, keeps her in Beverly Hills, and cares so much for her.
This Miss Schultz is looking luscious and attractive in this way.
However, as a professional, the bodyguard at least could resist the allure of the pretty woman. "Sorry, Ms. Schultz, I cannot promise you. Mr. Sterling would not be pleased to hear that."
Savannah raised her eyebrows, and her lips quirked up in a half-smile. She took two steps forward and said, "What if I am not pleased? That's terrible too! Do you really want that?"
"Ah...?" The bodyguard was stunned.
Savannah cocked her head to one side and said innocently, "If you don't agree, I'll tell Mr. Sterling that you took advantage of me when you followed me!"
"Ms. Schultz, how dare I take advantage of you? You can't set me up!"
"That depends on what you decide." Savannah shrugged and quipped.
The bodyguard took a deep breath. That's a threat!
Everybody could see that Ms. Schultz was now Mr. Sterling's woman, beloved, and cared for by Mr. Sterling.
Otherwise, last night, Mr. Sterling wouldn't have been in such a hurry and took him and another bodyguard to search for her everywhere.
Never before had Mr. Sterling been so attentive to a woman.
If Mr. Sterling thought that he had taken advantage of Savannah, wouldn't he break his hand?
A woman's pillow-talk could not be disregarded.
Sterling Group's welfare was so good that he did not want to be driven away from the Sterlings!
"Well... Ms. Schultz, but remember, never try to play tricks or do anything that will upset Mr. Sterling, or I won't be able to help you, and you will be punished too." The bodyguard finally gave in.
After the two reached an agreement, Savannah went out of the door first. The bodyguard drove slowly behind and followed her at a certain distance.
Savannah went to the nearest ATM to withdraw her salary, and then took a taxi and headed for the Hospital.
At the Hospital.
When Savannah cautiously entered Alban's mother's room, she saw a middle-aged man sitting by the bed, feeding an old woman.
She had been to the hospital once before, and on that day, Alban was pale and kept sighing deeply, worried about being unemployed and his mother's illness.
But today, Alban seemed to be a different person with a better spirit, talking and laughing with his old mother.
Savannah went over and greeted, "uncle Alban."
Seeing her, Alban put down the food and stood up. "Savannah is here."
Savannah drew him aside to the front porch, took out the money from her backpack, and put it into his hand. "Uncle Alban, I know your mother is going to have an operation, and it involves a lot of expenses. You should take this money first."
Alban quickly returned the money. "No, how can I take money from you again? You have already asked Lee to give me a sum of money before. I can't take your money anymore."
"Uncle Alban, take it. You're out of work now. How can you afford the expensive operation fee without money?"
Alban's face glowed with pleasure. "Savannah, don't worry, I haven't had a chance to tell you. This morning, the doctor said my mother's operation would be done free of charge. What's more, after the operation, she could live in the Hospital until she has completely recovered, with no hospitalization expenses, nor nursing expenses!"
Savannah couldn't believe it. "That's impossible! The Hospital is not a charitable organization; how could it provide you free treatment?"
"The director of the hospital came to us on his own this morning." Alban said jubilantly, "He said that the Hospital planned to use my mother's operation as a case study to complete an academic paper. I don't know what that is, but we're lucky!"
Savannah had heard of such cases, but she still doubted if Alban was so lucky to be chosen by the Hospital.
Alban continued, "Just before you got here, a half an hour ago, I received a phone call. A factory decided to hire me as a workshop director, and the treatment is similar to the Schultz's factory. By the way, the factory needs more workers, so I recommended Baker and Chuck, and they will go to work with me after a while. Savannah, you don't need to give us more money. We've gotten through it!"
"Really?" Savannah looked at Alban in disbelief. There was no such thing as a free lunch, not to mention so many good things happening at a time.
Could it be?
Walking out of the Hospital, Savannah stood by the side of the road, took out her cell phone, and dialed Dylan's number.
He did not answer the call. She guessed he was in a meeting, or too busy right now.
After a moment's hesitation, Savannah waved to stop a taxi, "Sterling Group, please."
