“And why come to a security firm only now?”
“She’s about to go on tour with Sweets Tyler. You know, one of the biggest pop stars now...” Sandra says.
Brody’s eyes go wide, acknowledging who she’s talking about.
“It hasn’t been publicly announced yet, but we’re worried this might become a bigger problem. The stalker could more easily hide in such a huge crowd and there will be even more visibility around Lily’s every movement and whereabouts.”
“Hum.” He murmurs, hands on his chin. “How big of a security detail are we talking about?”
Sandra begins to move her hands in the air violently, as if trying to clean the air of any confusion. “Justonebodyguard. For now.”
Brody looks at her, as if expecting more.
Sandra cocks her head. “But I can see if the talent agency will take your company on as their full-time security team.”
He smiles widely, now looking genuinely interested.
Of course, he has sexy dimples too.
“Let’s see…” He pulls up a tablet from his desk drawer and quickly peruses some sort of database. “When would you need us?”
“We’ll be recording a music video in two days.” I say, and he shakes his head with a frown.
“We’re fully booked for the next two months.”
“What?” Sandra lets out incredulous gasp.
“We’re hiring nonstop, but there’s training to do, and there is a high turnover in this business. Although, our new screening process is improving that dramatically.”
He seems annoyed, but apologetic, “Maybe I can point you to another company?”
“No!” Sandra protests. “I only trustyou, Brody! There must be something you can do?”
Brody places his hands under his chin again, and pauses for a second, thinking. “Just one person at first, huh?”
Sandra and I both shake our heads in agreement, eager for a positive response. “Since this is for you Sandra, my little sister, I suppose I can take care of this myself.”
Sandra squeals, stands, and rushes around the huge table over to Brody, kissing him on the temple. However, he seems more interested in reaching for my hand across the table, giving it a reassuring squeeze.
My heart leaps at his touch, but I play it cool.
“What happens now?” I ask, pulling my hand back gently, still shaken by his touch.
Sandra opens her purse and brings out some folded papers, “Here is the contract the talent agency’s legal team put together.”
“I’ll have my legal team look it over,” Brody says softly, taking the papers from Sandra’s outstretched hand.
He stands from his chair and moves to the direction of the door, a hand gently squeezing my shoulder on the way out, “I’ll be right back.”
Once he leaves, I start to giggle quietly. Completely confused, Sandra winks profusely and asks, “What now?”
“He touched my hand and shoulder,” and I tense, my face turning red.
Sandra crosses her arms and shakes her head, “Just because my brother did that, it doesn’t mean he’s into you, Lily.”
“Can I still be happy about it, Ms. Killjoy?” I shrug.
“Go ahead. Thoughts are free.” She dismisses me with a wave.
