The Man I Became... Because of You (Completed)

Evidence Of A Stalker

Ae

A couple hours into my vigil with Pete, there's a knock on the door and my boss sticks his head in.

"I want you to meet some people."

I glance at Pete to see him still sleeping so I head out and see a doctor and a man with a teen by his side. It surprises me that he would have a kid out with him this late but what he says shocks me even more.

"This is Rend and his husband Montree. They own Midas Security. This is Montree's sister. She's older than she looks."

"Hi there. I'm Montree Tuntayakul." The name makes me suck in a breath and side eye my boss who looks super relaxed.

"A pleasure to meet you." I shake his hand as well as his husband's. Despite being a doctor I can sense that Rend is a bit like Phana Kongthanin who I have met already. He's a very confident and self contained man.

"Now I understand that your husband was targeted and attacked today at his office?" I nod. This is leading somewhere and I wonder how this girl will be involved.

"Does Pete have a personal assistant?"

"Um he has a secretary but he shares her with another person if I remember correctly."

"Excellent. From now on, Thalia here will be working with Pete. You might be concerned but I assure you that Thalia is capable of protecting Pete."

I size her up and I can see the lean muscle cording up her arms and the sharpness of her gaze. The moment we lock eyes, hers turns doe soft and innocent but I've already caught sight of the danger and I'm impressed.

"You sure she shouldn't be protecting our Prime Minister?"

"As if he could afford me. I only help my brother's friends because they're my friends now too."

"Well thank you for that." I nod to her because I feel like anything else and she might take it personally and kill me.

"It's chill. Besides your like the first person outside of this lot who looked at me and didn't see a cute chick." She pops her gum and rolls her eyes spectacularly.

I look at her again and shake my head. "How did you let this happen?" I tease Montree because somehow this mood needs to lighten. Rend and Forth snort while Montree looks at her with dismay.

"I would never. She came this way. Literally. Her dad is a famous mercenary." I look at Forth again. He smirks. Once he had told me that he knew some very interesting people. He was so right. I don't know why I ever doubted him.

We talk for a bit more and Montree promises to be back to chat with Pete in the morning. After all, he's the one who has to accept these possible new changes and since he can speak, I wouldn't make this decision for him.

"Besides Thalia, there are security persons in place right now. In fact Thalia has her own team of 5 including a sniper and they will be monitoring for intruders."

"They're the best I could find and that's high praise from me." I just bet it is.

I watch them go and step back into the room to find Pete watching me.

"Oh. If I knew you were awake I would have asked them in."

"Who?" He turns more towards me as I explain the visitors we just had.

"Actually it's a good thing you let them go. I need some time to ponder this. I know that these people have a job that means they face danger 24/7 but I have never been in a position where someone risks danger because of me. I need to reconcile myself with that."
