.The doors opened on ahallway carpeted with plush, green carpet and expensively decoratedwalls, and Brody s mouth dropped open at the sheer opulenceeverywhere.Not that he wasn t used to being surrounded by beautifulthings, he was; but it seemed that the Walker family wanted everyoneto know exactly how much they were worth.Which was apparentlymore than they knew what to do with.Whereas his parents were verymuch aware that their own good fortune had been hard-earned by thosewho came before them, and although they lived in a big house and hada cook and a housekeeper, they didn t have overly expensive taste.Turning right when he stepped out into the hallway, he walkedalong until he came to a desk with a blonde girl seated behind it, aphone pressed to her ear and her well-manicured fingers tapping keyson the keyboard in front of her. Yes, Mrs.Walker, she said, glancing up at Brody. Oh, it lookslike the last one is here now.I ll send him straight in. Interested blueeyes raked over Brody from head to toe and he blushed under theirscrutiny. You ll do, she muttered, not quite under her breath. Helikes  em big. I m sorry? Brody questioned, raising his eyebrows. Nothing, hot stuff. She lifted her hand and pointed to a dooropposite the desk, her expression immediately bored. You can go in,Mrs.Walker is expecting you. She is? Yeah& she is. The girl looked at him like he had dribbled onhimself and motioned with her hand. Go, you re already ten minuteslate. Unshakeable Faith 89Brody shook his head in amazement at the crazy-ass setup theyhad here and walked over to the door to what he assumed was Mrs.Walker s office.Knocking, he heard a woman s voice instructing himto enter.Oh well, in for a penny, in for a pound.Brody took a deepbreath and turned the handle, finding himself face to face with Nash smother.Olivia Walker was one of the prettiest women he had ever seen.Her blonde hair was perfectly coiffed and her smile was echoed in hertwinkling green eyes.Wearing a business suit in a salmon pink, shestood from her seat behind her desk and beckoned him forward. Hello, there, she said softly, holding out her hand. I m OliviaWalker, thank you for coming in, Mr&.?Brody crossed the office in long strides and grasped her handgently in his huge paw, engulfing her fingers in his. Brody, hereplied. Brody Tyler. Pleased to meet you, Brody.Have a seat. She waved to a chair,smiling when Brody waited until she was seated before sitting downhimself. Well, I m sure they briefed you at the agency, but I ll just goover matters again.Brody nodded, hoping the slight creasing of his brow made himlook interested, desperately wanting to create the impression that heknew what the hell she was talking about.Which was a little difficultwith Nash s eyes staring at him from this beautiful woman s face. The position is for a bodyguard to my son, Nash.He s thepresident of Walker Incorporated, and I m sure you ve seen the articlein the local paper about his disappearance and re-appearance.What wasnot in the paper is the fact that we believe the two  accidents   sheair-quoted  may not have entirely been a coincidence, and it is myjob as his mother to ensure that my son is protected.It would be yourjob to stick to Nash like glue and keep him safe.Do you think that ssomething you would be interested in doing, Brody? Keeping Mr.Walker safe is certainly something I would makemy top priority. Brody s heart beat faster in his chest.They weren taccidents? Was she saying that someone wanted to kill Nash? Had triedto kill him on two separate occasions? Nash needed a bodyguard? Hislife was in danger? Who would want to hurt a sweet person like Nash? 90 Lisa WorrallBrody s head was spinning.There were so many thoughts whirlingaround his head that he could hardly latch on to what she was saying. There is something else.Nash has no memory of what happenedor where he was during the last six months, and it s a very touchysubject.We know that he was in the hospital for three of those months,but after that, we re clueless.The doctors said that he may never getthose six months back, so it s something you would have to handle withsensitivity.After all, you would be spending a great deal of time withhim.By that I mean you would have to move in with him.I can assureyou that the salary would more than make it worth your while.Brody knew that when Nash saw him he wouldn t have to acceptthe bodyguard position, or any other position, because he was positiveNash would take one look at him and bam, his memory would comeflooding back like whitewater rapids and they would fall into eachother s arms like characters in a cheap romance novel.Okay, maybe notthe last bit they were men, after all, so the manly version of fallinginto each other s arms.Just one look, that s all it would take.Before heknew what he was doing, he d smiled at Olivia and nodded. Yes, Ibelieve it s something that I would be very interested in, ma am.Olivia leaned back in her chair and laced her fingers together, arueful smile curving her lips. There is one more thing.Nash can be alittle& erm& difficult.He s used to getting his own way, and you mayfind that your biggest challenge is Nash himself.But I like you, BrodyTyler, and I think you can handle him.Will you accept the position?Brody had to get to Nash.The anxiety in his gut was reachingboiling point and he desperately searched his mind for a reason to meetNash now, if not sooner.
