As if he was aware of being followed, Henry increased his pace further. He got to the elevator while I quickly rushed and slid in before the elevator closes, leaving just the both of us inside the box that felt small because of how intense the atmosphere was. "Why are you a pest?"

"I'm your bodyguard. Of course I'm like a human pest." I just couldn't hold it in me. His arrogance was just too much.

"Did you just talk back at me?" Henry turned to me, his nose flaring up in anger. "You're fired."

Hope is a very beautiful girl, well atleast that's what she tells herself. But being beautiful isn't all there is knowing money ruled the world.

Spotting a job with a hundred thousand naira seems like a 'too good to be true' phase to Hope. And it proved her point when her eyes sets in on the pronoun. He/him.

Much bad news surfaces when she realizes such pronoun suits the job perfectly. Being a body guard.

Hope being the hustler she sets herself to be isn't going to let a gender stop her as she finds means on making the opportunity work in her favour.

They say, nothing a man won't do for money. Especially when being strapped.

Right now, Hope is the definition of STRAPPED.
