CEO Daughter's Bodyguard

“Hey! My name is Sharon Lim, but you can call me Sharon. I am nineteen and will attend Lubellia University, majoring in Bachelor of Business Administration.”

Sharon said this loudly even though inside, she was nervous to death. It was her first time taking a modeling audition. Moreover, what she was currently participating in was for a well-known brand, Vorgue Magazine.

“I don’t have any experience in this field.” She admitted. Several people in the room were shaking their heads.

Of course. It was a modeling audition for a big brand, and they didn’t want to accept amateurs. “But I will do my best.”

Sharon smiled awkwardly. No one spoke in the room. They all looked disappointed. Even though she has a beautiful face, it won’t be enough to make her pass the audition.

A woman whispers to a fat man wearing a flex-fit cap. The man nodded after a while and turned his gaze back to Sharon.

“Everyone get out,” said the fat man. All the audition crew looked at each other as if they understood what was happening. “What are you waiting for? Get your ass out right now!”

Everyone rushed out of the shooting room except Sharon, a woman with an annoying smile, and the fat man.

The man leaned forward, “You are beautiful and have a great body. Your skin is also smooth. It’s a shame you have no experience in this field.”

“That’s why I said that I will do my best—”

The man gestured with his index finger, indicating Sharon to be quiet.

“I can see that you have a brilliant future. Your appearance alone is a precious seed, and I don’t want to waste it.”

Sharon was silent. She was clueless about what the fat man was trying to say.

“Maybe you are not suitable for this audition. But I have a great offer for you.” The man licked his lips and smiled broadly. “I can help you start your career.”

“Help me?” Sharon asked. She was still clueless about the situation.

The woman beside the fat man walked closer to Sharon while carrying a magazine. She handed the magazine to Sharon.

Sharon’s eyes almost jumped out of her head when she saw what the magazine was.

“This magazine doesn’t require any experience. Your body is more than enough. Moreover, your face is stunningly gorgeous. Your career will definitely skyrocket.” The man said it in an optimistic tone.

“You don’t need to worry about starting your career from the bottom,” said the woman standing next to Sharon with her arms crossed in front of her chest. “Just once you appear in this magazine, surely big companies will be willing to kill to get you.”

Sharon’s throat was dry. She couldn’t stop staring at the magazine’s contents in her hand.

It was an adult magazine that featured nude models. Most of them wore masks. The clothes they wore were very revealing. Some of them only wore straps wrapped around their bodies while holding various types of sex toys.

“I-I don’t think that—”

“You don’t need to think at all. Just do as I say, and your career will be brilliant in the future.” The man interrupted Sharon’s words again. His eyes looked fiery.

The woman near Sharon looked at her annoyingly, “I’m sure you’re not stupid enough to refuse this rare offer, aren’t you?”

The woman grabbed several strands of Sharon’s hair and pulled hard, making Sharon look up in pain. “You better decide quickly because tons of people are still queuing for this audition!”

Sharon could only endure the pain until the woman released her hair. She got up and ran out of the room. The fat man hinted something to the woman.

“You don’t need to worry. “I’ll make sure that little bitch won’t say anything outside,” said the woman and then walked out of the room leisurely.

Sharon ran as fast as she could, ignoring the stares of dozens of other audition participants who were lined up waiting for their turn. They thought Sharon ran away crying because she was rejected by the director.

“Even with that pretty face that she has?” asked an audition participant. Many people were surprised that a girl as beautiful as Sharon failed the audition.

She waved one hand to flag down a taxi and sat in the back seat.

“Just drive,” said Sharon, still crying.

The taxi driver nodded and drove the car. A crying sound was the only thing that they heard in the car for a few moments. The taxi driver was polite and did not bother Sharon.

When Sharon started to stop crying, the taxi driver smiled at her through the small mirror in front of him.

“Failed the audition?” he asked in a friendly tone.

Sharon wiped her tears, “Y-yeah.”

She didn’t want to talk about what she experienced in the audition room. This is the first time Sharon has attended a modeling audition. She left quietly without anyone knowing.

Why?

Sharon is Jaden Lim’s daughter. He is the CEO of Lim Superior Corporation, an American aerospace, arms, defense, information security, and technology corporation with worldwide interests.

Her father would kill her if he found out about sneaking out.

“So, where do you want to go?” asked the taxi driver.

“Take me to 902 Garrison Street.”

Sharon didn’t think twice about mentioning the location of her house. Her mind was in turmoil, and her heart still hurt.

The taxi driver nodded. For a few minutes, things were still usual. Sharon continued to look at the dense traffic of the city of Princeton. But when the taxi turned into a small street, Sharon began to feel uneasy.

“I’ve never gone this way before,” said Sharon. She felt wary.

She has been kidnapped twice before. The first was when she was still an elementary school student. Since then, her father decided that Sharon should be homeschooled. Then, the second was when Sharon went to the mall secretly to meet her online friend.

Both incidents were carried out by her father’s business opponents.

“This is a shortcut. Please feel at ease, Young Lady.”

Sharon secretly tried to open the door as the taxi drove slowly down the narrow street but failed because it was locked and could only be opened by the driver. She realized that she was being kidnapped.

“Sir, could you stop for a moment? I have urgent matters.” Sharon tried to convince the driver that she should get off.

Suddenly, her vision became blurry. Her head was dizzy, and she was having difficulty breathing. Sharon glanced at the taxi driver and saw that he was wearing an anti-poison gas mask.

Sharon fell asleep in an instant.

She didn’t know what would happen to her. In an unconscious state, her body has been carried somewhere.

“Have a good nap, Sweetie?” asked the taxi driver, who was wearing all black. Even though his face was covered by a mask, Sharon still recognized his voice.

Sharon looked around and found herself in a large and empty room. It looks like a building that has been uninhabited for a long time. There were seven other people dressed the same as the taxi driver.

In front of her, there was a handy cam. A flashing red light indicated that it was recording.

“Say hi to your father,” said the person while waving at the camera.

Sharon’s mouth was covered with duct tape. Her body and legs were tied to the chair she was sitting on. She couldn’t do anything.

“Maybe we should put on a little show to motivate that bastard more.”

The taxi driver motioned to one of his men to tear off Sharon’s clothes. The man approached while holding a combat knife.

“Where did you get that cool knife?” he didn’t get any answer. “Hey, are you fucking deaf—”

A second later, his neck was cut by a combat knife. Both hands held his neck. He tried to stop the blood from flowing from there.

Sharon was shocked because it happened right before her eyes.

The man who killed the taxi driver hit Sharon in the back of the neck. She lost consciousness again.

Before she passed out, Sharon heard the man say, “It’s okay. I’m here for you. But maybe you better sleep again because what will happen next is much worse. I don’t think you can handle it.”
