Agent Jeff And The Governor's Daughter Part 3

We soon met up with Lydia who hugged Blessed happily before nodding at me as she probably wondered who I was.

‘’I hope he isn’t security?’’ she asked Blessed with a smile. ‘’no, he’s a family friend. Does he look like a security guy?’’ Blessed answered while Lydia laughed.‘’he doesn’t look like security but I haven’t seen him before. Have we met before?’’ she asked me.‘’oh my name is Jeff, a family friend. The last time we met was years ago when we were still very little. I think we were still in primary school back then’’ I lied like Blessed earlier advised and of course Lydia bought it.

‘’oh Jeff. Hmmmm nice name. hope you will be as sweet as your name?’’ she joked, making me a bit relaxed with her playful nature as we exchanged glances while Blessed rolled her eyes as she listened.

‘’I hope you are not hitting on him because he is mine?’’ Blessed finally added, while Lydia laughed. ‘’of course not my dear, I’m not’’ she playfully answered as I helped her carry her big travel bag.

Deep down I couldn’t help but wonder if Blessed meant her words or was just playing around. Yes as a young guy, silly ideas always tend to

get into my head. Only time will tell.

To be continued

Lydia and Blessed chatted endlessly as we headed back to the governor’s lodge from the airport. I simply focused on my driving while listening to all they discussed. I really was enjoying my job and Lydia wasn’t really as

troublesome as they painted her to be.

In no time we got to our destination without any issue. Of course I was happy. I passed the first stage of my job very easily.

‘’hey Lydia, please I will like to be with you when ever you are leaving the house to keep your company. All you have to do is just to notify me on time. So let’s exchange phone numbers please’’ I begged as we got out of the car. She silently stared at me for a while before throwing a quick look at Blessed who shrugged. There wasn’t any doubt she was trying to make out the reason for my gesture.

‘’come on, you have done pretty much enough by picking me up at the airport. I’m very much fine by myself. I really don’t need anyone to watch over me. I can give you my phone number but I clearly don’t need your protection or company, whatever you call it.

Okay?’’ she answered with a smile while I scoffed. ‘’jeez I wasn’t talking about protection. I have nothing much doing and I’m always bored. So the best thing you can do for me is to take me with you whenever you are leaving the house so that I can at least have a breath of fresh air’’ I pushed on. She rolled her eyes and smiled once more.

‘’so you mean you have no job or something?’’ she asked. ‘’yes things are very hard in this country. It’s been two years I left school, yet no good job is forthcoming and that’s really why I’m here. Perhaps your dad could help me out if he sees how close we are’’ I answered faintly.

For the first time, Lydia looked at me with pity in her eyes. She drew close and held my hand. ‘’it’s very hard to see an honest guy these days. Fine I will always take you with me wherever I go. Relax, I will force my old man to get something for you’’ she promised, exchanged numbers with me and headed to the mansion with Blessed. I swallowed hard as I watched the two ladies disappear. I really felt very bad lying to her but then I did it to protect her. I was only doing my job.

The rest of the evening was very uneventful as Lydia spent the evening with her family while I rested in my room, wondering how the next day would be like. However at exactly 9:05pm, Blessed showed up at my room, surprising me with her presence.

I quickly sat up, thinking that I was in for another assignment but she smiled and sat at the edge of the bed.

‘’hmmm relax, I only came to check on you’’ she breathed, flashing her charming smile on me..
