***

We walked straight in to the place, and was greeted by a freezing blast of cold wind.

Dayna shuddered and Donovan shrugged.

Guys, they can be so uncaring.

I'd never understand them.

The place was quite spick and span, with a reception and two glass lifts.

There was a young woman at the counter, with her hair bunned up so tightly that her smile was almost in pain.

"Hi there, welcome to the Bodyguards' Association! I'm Sherry and I'm your receptionist for today!" Sherry said those lines in such a well-rehearsed manner that it sounded like a broken recorder, rewinding again and again.

She stole a glance at Nick.

Nick nodded.

"We're the new recruits." he said.

Sherry grinned like a Cheshire cat.

"Go to Lift A and proceed to the fifth floor. Mr Lopez will meet you up there with your employers."

She kept staring at Nick and Dayna bristled.

Protective, huh.

"Let's go," I ushered them into Lift A.

The lift had no buttons.

"I've set it to go to the fifth floor. Have fun!" Sherry said and the doors closed.

Donovan rolled his eyes unexpectedly.

"She's such a fake." he commented and all of us laughed.

"Totally," Corr replied.

"Hey, we shouldn't be that mean. If I was Sherry, I would be hurt." Dayna protested.

"Yeah, bet you're doing that for Nick's sake." Corrine shot back.

Dayna blushed furiously.

"There's nothing between Dayna and I," Nick said quietly, but I detected a hint of sadness in  my childhood friend's voice.

Aww, Nick.

Dayna bobbed her head.

"Nothing, yeah right," Corr said.

The lift doors opened and there was a grey door in front of us.

"Let's go in," I said, and opened the door.

We all went in and the first thing my eyes laid on was that guy in the centre of the room, dressed in a white shirt and red jeans.

Benjamin Walker.

My mouth must've dropped open and Benjamin's eyes widened with slight anxiety.

He was sandwiched between his girlfriend, model Eliza Hartes and Sean Walker, his brother.

Sean's eyes roved over Corrine and Eliza was curled up in Ben's lap.

Benjamin just stared at me.

Eliza frowned and tilted Benjamin's head to hers and kissed him.

A man and a woman sat at a corner, patiently observing us.

What was this, an analysing test?
