Keep your eyes on Veronica

You don’t trust this bitch. She is nothing but a greedy, arrogant bimbo. If your father loses interest in her son, she loses her carefree lifestyle. Not even she can be stupid enough to not see this. You know she is going to influence your father to increase her son’s status. And even if this is not very likely that she outsmarts you somehow, you can’t risk walking unknowing in one of her traps.

Quite and always a floor behind them, you follow your Father and Veronica up to the upper floor. There you follow them to a big door with an impressive daemon head in the middle. You are sure this is your father’s office. It’s soundproof, but you are sure you can hear something through the keyhole. But to your disadvantage, a tall guard in black clothes waits in front of the door. He is around Eric’s age, maybe a year or two more, but about a whole head smaller.

“Hello girl,” he greets you friendly, “you are Ashley, right? The boss’s new daughter? How does it feel to discover being some kind of princess?”

“Amazing,” you answer kind, “and you are the guy who guards my old man’s office, right? I hope that’s not a problem.”

“Because I called you a princess?” the guard asks smiling, “I haven’t meant to insult you. I serve your family for about six years now. It’s a good job and I earn enough to send my child to a good school. But I’m afraid you can’t talk with your father right now. He is talking with the bit… I mean with your brothers’ mother.”

His words leave no doubt that he knows exactly why you are here. And you are sure he almost called Veronica a bitch on purpose. He wants to play with you. Well you can do this for him.

“I’m shocked,” you say grinning, “I must be wrong but for a short moment I got the feeling you don’t like Veronica, this kind hearted, selfless angel on earth.”

“How could everyone not like a greedy, arrogant bitch with more silicon in her boobs than brain in her head?” the guard mumbles amused, “but it doesn’t matter. I can’t let you inside or leave my guarding point. My … honor as a guard forbids it.”

Well, this was clear. He obviously wants you to convince him somehow. You are not sure what he wants exactly, but you have a few options to bring him on your side. You can bribe him, seduce him, threaten him or trick him.
