Dustin was in a dilemma. “Dahlia, you know I’m only average at martial arts. I’ve never been a Chief
Security
Officer before. Don’t you think I’m not suited for that post?” He was good at fighting and treating
illnesses, but he had no experience holding an executive position in apany. It just didn’t feel right.
“You just need to be good at fighting.” Dahlia smiled at him. “You don’t need to do anything. You just
need to oversee safety matters and, at the same time, protect me from harm.”
“Dustin didn’t know what to say.
“Hmph! If you don’t want to do it, fine.” She pulled a long face. “I’ll just die a quick death if someone
wants to harm me. It’s no big deal.”
“Come on, it’s not that serious.” His eyes twitched.
Dahlia responded, “You’re right, it’s not that serious. Nicholson Corp. has tens of billions in assets. Of
course, I don’t need any protection as the newly appointed chairman. It’s not like anyone is after their
shares. Please. just remember to collect my body when I’m assassinated.”
“Stop speaking like that. Alright, I’ll do it, okay?” He smiled bitterly. This woman had started learning
some tricks.
“Don’t force yourself. I don’t want you to regret your decision.” Dahlia said.
Dustin shook his head continuously I’m not forcing myself. And I won’t regret it.”
“Alright! You’re the one who said it; I didn’t force you.” She immediately shed a beautiful smile.
He was helpless. “I feel like I’ve fallen into your trap.”
“You should be grateful. There are people waiting for the opportunity to be trapped.” She looked up at
him proudly.
“Not to mention, I’ll treat you well. I didn’t prepare any gifts today, so I’ll give you a small reward first.”
She stood up on her tiptoes and swiftlynded a peck on his cheek.
As she drew back, a waft of a light fragrance followed. Dustin froze and looked at her funny. “Dahlia,
you seem to have turned into a delinquent.”
“Don’t guys like delinquent girls?” Dahlia retorted wittily. However, her face turned bright red. In the
end, she wasn’t able to act freely without restraint like Natasha could.
Dustin was thinking of a response when his phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Patrick.
“Hello, Dustin? Sorry for bothering you.”
“It’s okay. Is there anything I can help you with, Patrick?” Dustin’s tone was pleasant.
“Well, the thing is, even though my grandfather’s condition has stabilized, he’s been coughing nonstop
these past few days, and he doesn’t seem to be in good spirits either. I recalled that you mentioned he
needs to take some medicinal wine?”
“Medicinal wine?” Dustin was confused for a moment before it hit him. “Oh, I’m sorry! I’ve been so busy
these
past two days that I’ve forgotten about it. But no worries; I’ve had it brewed beforehand. I’ll get
someone to
deliver it to you immediately.”

“I see. Sorry for the trouble.” Patrick breathed a sigh of relief.
“It’s no trouble. It’s an oversight on my part.” Dustin felt embarrassed. Because of the Harmons‘ annual
family
gathering, he’d forgotten about the Hill family.
After he hung up, he made a call to Edmund. “Hello, Mr. Robinson. Can you help me check if the
medicinal wine I left in the kitchen is still there?”
Very soon, Edmund responded, “It’s here. What should I do with it, Mr. Rhys?”
“I’m unable to leave at the moment. Could you please help me deliver the medicinal wine to Patrick Hill
at the Hill family residence?”
Edmund agreed immediately. “No problem. I’ll go right away!”
30 minutester, a Mazda came to a slow stop in front of the gates of the Hill family residence. The car
door opened, and Edmund got off carefully while carrying the medicinal wine in his arms.
“Hey! What are you here for?” The guard by the gates yelled.
Edmund smiled apologetically. “Sir, I’m here to deliver wine to Sir Patrick Hill on Mr. Rhys‘ orders.” For
an affluent family like the Hills, even the guards thought that they were above others.
“Mr. Rhys? Which Rhys?” the guard questioned.
