Do I still have to be a security guard?

"I'm telling you, make me CEO and I'll double the company's value in three days!" Gibson said seriously.

But Sonia was losing her patience. She snapped her folder shut and said, "I don't have time for this nonsense! Get downstairs and report in. You think just anyone can walk into a security job at my company?!"

Wind Group, as one of the top ten companies in Starfall City, doesn't just hire anyone. Even the cleaners need college degrees, and the security staff must be college athletes!

Gibson didn't leave right away. Instead, he walked steadily towards Sonia, staring intently at her collar.

"What are you doing?!" Sonia clutched her collar and hissed.

Whoosh! Suddenly, he had a small knife in his hand and deftly popped open the top two buttons of Sonia's shirt.

Her chest was briefly exposed, but Gibson wasn't looking at that. He was focused on the buttons.

"What the heck!!"

He put a finger to Sonia's lips and shushed her. "Look closely, what's this?"

He squeezed the button hard, and a tiny spark of light flashed from it, mixed with tiny wires. Sonia gasped, "What is this...??"

"A bug!"

"A bug? You can fit a bug inside such a small button?!"

"Heh, don't believe me? Hire a private investigator to check it out. Your life, from the company operations to your personal details, is being monitored!"

"..."

Last night, after the girls had fallen asleep, he had found nine tiny bugs in the room. Now, to find even more in her office!

Ten minutes later.

A private investigator walked in, and after a thorough check, he confirmed, "You're right! This is Eldoria's latest surveillance tech. You need a triple scan to detect it. Miss Juarez, you've got a real expert here!"

"An expert?!" Sonia furrowed her brows, turned to Gibson who was smoking by the window, and asked in a deep voice, "How did you know there was a bug in this button?!"

"It's simple, I just took one look and knew something was off. Is it that hard?" Gibson shrugged and chuckled.

That comment really put the private investigator to shame. These guys usually need a whole toolkit to detect a bug, yet here he was, spotting it with just a glance.

Having someone this sharp on hand and still needing to bring in a private investigator felt like a real insult.

The detective gave a deep bow and said, "If there's nothing more, I'll take my leave. It looks like you've got everything under control here."

"Wait!"

Gibson suddenly stood up, and the man hesitated for a moment, then carefully bowed with a forced smile, "... is there anything else?"

He can tell where the listening devices are just by listening and looking!

He walked up to the man and pulled a pen from the man's shirt pocket, "As a private detective, you've been bugged. How are you supposed to solve other people's problems?"

Sure enough, when he dismantled the pen, several small, still-flashing components fell out.

"This..."

It was embarrassing. 

Originally, Sonia had intended to pay him a visit fee, but the private detective didn't want to stay a second longer and hurriedly fled.

After the man left, Sonia looked him over seriously, "Can you really use your eyes and ears to detect where bugs are?"

"My ears can hear sounds below two hertz, any faint electrical noise, I can sense it," Gibson explained calmly, his expression as if he was explaining something as simple as two plus two.

"That's impossible, a two hertz current, how can a normal person do that?"

Sonia shook her head as if she'd heard a ridiculous joke.

But Gibson just smiled slightly at her, "So, you still think I'm ordinary?"

His gaze was cold, chilling to the bone.

At that moment, Sonia began to vaguely realize that this man was extraordinary, otherwise her grandfather wouldn't have sent him to protect her.

"Alright, go and check in," Sonia waved dismissively.

"Do I still have to be a security guard?" Gibson asked, looking incredulous.

"What else?"

"Ha, woman! You'll lose me like this. Don't come crying and begging for a chance to chase me later!"

"Get out!!"

"..."

With that, Gibson turned and walked out the door.

Not long after he left, Sonia's phone rang. It was her grandfather.

When he found out she had sent Gibson to the security department, his voice rose sharply, "Are you crazy? Sending him to be a security guard? He wasn't upset, was he?" the old man said anxiously on the phone.

Sonia frowned slightly, speaking sternly, "Grandfather, he has no education, no background, and he's been in jail. It's already a favor that he could work at my company because of you. Is being a security guard really that demeaning?"

"Being a security guard is fine! That way he can't pay us back and will have to stay with our Juarez family forever. I heard you're already living together, right?!"

"Grandfather, it's not what you think, we're just..."

"No need to explain! Lock him down, have his child as soon as possible, don't let anyone steal him away! As long as he stays with the Juarez family, he'll bring fortune to our family for three generations! Don't be ungrateful, this is a huge opportunity!"

"..."

After a bit more scolding, her grandfather hung up the phone.

WTF...

Why does her grandfather like this guy so much?! No money, no power, no background, and he's even been in jail. It's like the Juarez family is supposed to be courting him.

The more she thought about it, the more it didn't sit right with her. After hanging up, Sonia went straight to her contacts and dialed a number.

"I need someone checked out! "

A sultry voice from a woman came through on the other end, "Miss, our services aren't cheap, you know!"

"Do it! I want everything. How many hotels he's booked, how many women he's been with, who was his first, every detail you can find, don't miss anything!"

"As long as the payment is right, I can dig up even his past life for you!"

"..."
