Grace shot Anthony a fierce glare . She thought her warning would at least make Anthony show some restraint and keep his mouth shut . But his good behavior lasted only a short while . As soon as he saw Autumn Lopez's off mood , he reverted to his old ways . " Anthony ! " Both Grace and Ella looked at him warningly . Autumn Lopez wasn't the kind of employer you could easily fool . If Anthony thought he could treat her like his other clients and act recklessly , he was sorely mistaken .
Both Ella and Grace cherished the opportunity to work with Autumn Lopez and didn't want Anthony ruining it all . " Is that so ? " Autumn did need a place to unwind and relax her tense nerves . " You can go check it out . " She glanced at Anthony and said , " Go ahead . " Anthony had initially mentioned it offhand , hoping to show off in front of Autumn Lopez . It was obvious to everyone that Autumn favored Grace and Ella among the bodyguards . Who wouldn't want to secure a steady gig in such a prestigious family like the Bennett's ?
Working with the Bennett family meant fewer tasks and more pay . Although Anthony didn't approve of Autumn Lopez's behavior as Mrs. Bennett , he didn't want to give up this cushy job . The most important thing was to annoy Grace and Ella . These two women often mocked him , thinking they were in charge . If it weren't for Owen Bennett , he would have sent these two annoying women packing long ago . " Okay ! " " Ms. Lopez , just hand me the wheel ; I'll make sure you get to the place safely . " Anthony spoke , casting a smug glance at Ella and Grace .
He dared them to try to drive a wedge between him and the boss . In Anthony's opinion , Autumn Lopez wasn't all that special . Women who marry up often lack brains , making it easy for him . As long as he kept Autumn Lopez happy , staying with the Bennett family wouldn't be a dream . Maybe , apart from being a bodyguard , he could do other things for the Bennetts . He wouldn't be just a desperate follower anymore but someone people looked up to ! " Ms. Lopez , are you feeling alright ? " Grace and Ella , noticing Autumn's pale face , asked with concern .
Autumn was about to answer when Anthony cut in : " It's just a bit of fun ; what's there to feel bad about ? " " Grace and Ella , I need to tell you something. " " We are Ms. Lopez's bodyguards , not her family . If the boss wants to do something , we should let her , right ? Just because you're afraid of trouble doesn't mean you should stop others . " " Ms. Lopez is a free individual , our employer , and you shouldn't overstep ." " Don't meddle in other people's lives , okay ? " Anthony finished his rant and smiled at Autumn Lopez : " Apologies , Ms. Lopez .

Grace and Ella might be indecisive because they're women . " " If anything makes you uncomfortable , please speak up . " " We're professional bodyguards and won't do anything to upset our employer . " Autumn nodded , fully aware of Anthony's intentions . She glanced at Grace and Ella and reassured them , " Relax , I just need to find a place to clear my 2/5 Ch thoughts . " " Both of you can accompany me ; it'll be fine . " Grace and Ella knew Autumn wasn't one to act impulsively .
For someone as rational as Autumn to need a place to unwind , her emotions must have been stirred after meeting Mars Wright . " Alright . " The two could only agree , suppressing their worries . Anthony didn't realize the three had a mutual understanding . He thought Autumn's friendly demeanor meant he had impressed her . He started dreaming of soaring to new heights . Unaware of when to stop , he became arrogant with a little gain . Upon reaching the destination , Anthony boldly suggested : " How about I join you this time , Ms. Lopez ?
" " I'm also a professional bodyguard , and I know this place better . Perhaps I could even guide you ." But Autumn didn't entertain him this time and flatly refused . " No need , you can wait here ." Anthony's face turned ugly instantly . " Ms. Lopez ... " He tried to plead , but Autumn's cold gaze made his spine chill . " I understand . " Realizing Autumn wasn't easily fooled like other employers , Anthony clenched his teeth . For the first time , he felt humiliated by a woman .
Fury surged through him , but due to Autumn's status , he had to suppress his irritation and anger , forcing a smile as he watched Autumn , Grace , and Ella enter the café . 3/5 It was indeed a nice place . Quiet , with all facilities available . The average cost was in the four figures , allowing one to enjoy a full day . " Anthony certainly knows his ways around leisure , " Autumn found a booth and sat down . The waiter brought the menu , explaining that items without prices were complimentary , while those with prices required extra payment . " Thank you . " Autumn wasn't hungry .
Her phone was buzzing with messages , so she ordered a drink and some dessert and handed the menu to the sisters . " Order whatever you want ." The sisters accepted the offer unreservedly . After all , they had paid upon entry , so they might as well get their money's worth . With their large daily exercise routine , their appetite matched . They ordered a table full . By the time Autumn finished dealing with emails , the table was filled . Her previously heavy mood significantly lightened . " Do you guys eat so much without gaining weight?
" Seeing Autumn's improved mood , the sisters sighed in relief . As Autumn was pregnant , any mishap would be their responsibility . The longer they spent with Autumn , the more they liked her and genuinely wished her well . " Nope , we have a high daily exercise routine . " Autumn was intrigued : " Tell me about it . " Grace explained they ran thirty kilometers daily . Plus , they did weight training . If time permitted , they'd also box . " Boxing is great for muscle training and sweating , " " And you learn some self - defense skills , perfect for girls .
But be careful ; some gyms are scams, only aiming to make money . " Autumn nodded , acknowledging Grace's advice . " After I give birth , maybe I can box to get back in shape. " Ella suggested , " Ms. Lopez , it's better not to . Post - birth , you might not adapt to intense boxing . " " If you want to lose weight , we can create a plan to ensure you recover even better than before pregnancy .
