"Pretty ladies can take photos with me. Men may step aside," Nathan grinned mischievously. "Hear me? Pretty ladies only!" Mia reached out her chubby hand to make a gesture to everyone. "Quiet!

Meanwhile, Brenda had bought the tickets. "Guys, chere. I've got the tickets, and we can go in now." At the stime, Sadie was upstairs shopping. Noticing that a small boutique for children's clothing on the third floor was having a sale, she rushed over at once, made her way into the crowd, and started to select discounted clothes from the racks.
In the next second, a group of tall men in suits and ties cover orderly. Everyone stepped aside to make way for them.
Noticing the men, syoung mothers selecting clothes stopped involuntarily and looked over, discussing. "Who are they? What great pomp." "None of them are less than 6 feet tall. See how handsthey are in suits? Any one of them can be the most popular male escort at Night Club!" Sadie's heart skipped a beat especially when she heard the words "Night Club" and "male escort." She thought, 'Do these men have anything to do with that male escort?' "You're all wrong. They are bodyguards of the VIC Group's CEO," a young mother with a straight bang said complacently. "My husband works there. The group's CEO has 18 bodyguards, each with a golden 'S' emblem on their lapels, symbolizing their status!" After a pause, she added, "They're practically all here. Seems like the CEO is here, too!" "Gosh!" another young woman exclaimed, daydreaming like a fangirl. "Having those handsmen as his bodyguards? He must be perfect." "Sorry to burst your bubble, but pretty bodyguards usually work for ugly employers." "Seconded..." Micah's handsface emerged in Sadie's mind as she heard the women discuss. She thought, 'Ugly? Nah. He's not ugly at all.' The men in black set up a perimeter at a restaurant opposite the store and stationed at the door.

Nathan pouted, but he didn't go away. Instead, he took out a cartoon band-aid from his pocket and handed it to the man. "Here. Take this." The man rolled his eyes, thinking, 'I'm bleeding like hell! Is this ssick joke? Well, I'm not laughing!' "You'll die from bleeding too much. Go see a doctor," Nathan advised before turning around to leave. "Nathan! Nathan!" Coco flew over to Nathan, flapping wings.
