Drew walked into the arena next day and saw her standing outside of the door in front of Stephanie's office. She was clearly waiting for something and he figured Corbin was inside the office talking to the boss. She turned her head and looked at him and suddenly she hurried towards him. He saw the blue mark under her eye and by instinct put his hand on her cheek and traced his thumb underneath the mark.
"Oh love, it's all my fault," he said.
"No, it's not," she said.
"I shouldn't have done what I did yesterday," he said.
"Just shut up. I don't have time for this. You said I could trust you," she said while looking over her shoulder, clearly afraid that Corbin would come out any second and catch her talking to him.
"You can," he said.
She took a deep breath before handing him a piece of folded paper.
"Then help me," she said.
He looked her in the eyes. Her eyes were begging. She didn't say anything else. She just hurried back to wait in front of the door. Shortly after Corbin came out and they disappeared together down the hall.
He unfolded the paper and looked at it. There was written a link to a webpage and underneath the word "bodyguard." He leaned up against the wall, took out his phone and typed in the link. It took him to a webpage where people could search for jobs. Nothing sketchy about that. He typed in the word "bodyguard" in the search bar. Only one ad came up. He clicked on it and read it. As he read through it, he got mad. Corbin was searching for a bodyguard to stay by her side whenever he wasn't near. Of course he wasn't honest in the ad explaining his jealousy and rage. Instead he made it out as if she had a crazy stalker he wanted to protect her from.
He pushed himself off the wall and walked to an empty room. He took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Joseph? It's Drew. I need your help."
Corbin's phone rang shortly after. He took a couple of steps away from her but kept his eyes on her at all time. She could hear he was talking to someone about the job as her bodyguard. She hated it. The only protection she needed was from him, not from Drew or anyone else. He hung up the phone and smiled.
"Let's go. Someone's coming by the hotel for an interview," he said.
She walked over to him and they went back to the hotel. Around 30 minutes later there was a knock on the door. Corbin opened.
"Joseph Conners," the voice sounded.
Corbin stepped aside and let the man in. She looked at him. His eyes were hard and he looked mean. She got scared. No way she wanted that man to be around her.
"She's the one?" Joseph asked as he saw her.
"Yes. I need someone to stay by her side at all times whenever I'm away. It's a couple of hours most days," Corbin answered.
"Shouldn't be a problem at all," Joseph said.
"Don't let anyone near her at any times," Corbin said.
"No problem. Should I stay here with her or am I allowed to take her out?" Joseph asked.
"You can go wherever you want as long as you make sure she doesn't talk to anyone but you," Corbin answered.
Joseph nodded and looked at her. The fear was showing on her face. He felt for her. He wanted to tell her everything was gonna be alright but he couldn't break character in front of Corbin.
"Can you start tonight?" Corbin asked.
"Yes," Joseph answered.
"Good. Be here at 7 then," Corbin said and reached his hand towards Joseph.
Joseph took Corbin's hand and shook it before leaving the room again. Corbin closed the door, turned around and smirked at her.
"Good luck getting near Drew again," he said.
As soon as the door closed, Joseph took out his phone and called Drew.
"I'm in."
