The State Governor’s Daughter
Episode 2
.
.
An hour later,
Agent mike and I arrived at the governor’s lodge. I was super excited
and nervous at the same time. I knew my new assignment had lots
of benefits and risks as well. I really didn’t know what the future
had for me but yes I was so ready for my new assignment.
‘’please don’t screw this up. It’s my job and yours that are on the
line here. This assignment is a very difficult one I know but make
sure you are focused and make use of the training you got. Be
focused and never lose guard’’ Agent mike advised as we got out of
his car while I nodded quickly like a new student.
I was led straight to the governor’s sitting room where the governor’s
wife was anxiously waiting for us. The smile on her face clearly
showed how happy she was to see me. We barely had settled down
before the governor joined us.
(We all stood up to greet the governor who surprisingly offered his
hand for a handshake).
‘’here is agent Val sir. He is the best agent for the job’’ agent mike
addressed the governor who left his eyes on me for few seconds.
‘’you look very familiar young man. Have we met before?’’ he asked
curiously. I nervously nodded.
‘’yes sir, before the governorship election, I was among the agents
that cleared you when you showed up at our office’’ I answered.
‘’ah no wonder, I guess you have been briefed on the nature of your
new assignment?. My daughter Clara isn’t an easy person to deal
with. You need to be enduring and very smart to deal with her. She
may not want you by her side but always find a way to be at her
side. I can’t allow her to move around on her own like she does in
U.S. Please protect her for me’’ he pleaded, smiled and left us
without another word while his wife who had been silent all along
cleared her throat.
‘’you will have everything you need provided for. Just make sure you
keep my daughter safe. You will pick her up at the airport by 4pm’’
she said softly as young beautiful girl walked in on us, smiling
pleasantly.
‘’yes meet Vivian. She’s the daughter of my husband’s brother and
she’s equally very close to my daughter Clara. She will assist you in
getting close to my daughter. She knows everything about your
assignment. She will also go with you to the airport this evening.
Consider her your partner’’ she calmly introduced the young lady who
quietly sat beside her.
Minutes later, I returned to my apartment in town to pick up few
things and equally prepare myself for the new assignment. I really
didn’t have enough time to mentally prepare for the job but deep
down I felt it was going to be dangerously fun and a great
experience. Vivian looked like a nice and understanding lady and I
couldn’t help but wish that the governor’s daughter could be at least
half understanding as her.
I nervously prepared, got my stuffs ready and headed back to the
governor’s lodge where Vivian was dutifully waiting for me. The
smile on her face as our eyes met was enough to put silly ideas into
my head but I quickly shut it out of my mind because I knew
perfectly well the risks involved in having silly ideas.
By 3:30pm, we headed to the airport. I did the driving while Vivian
sat beside me asking lots of curious questions which I answered
calmly. There wasn’t any doubt she was a very friendly person and
the way she related to me made me very much relaxed.
‘’so is there anything else I need to know about Clara?’’ I kind of
asked as we approached the airport.
‘’hmmmm well, she’s a very difficult person to be with but believe
me she can equally be very friendly and jovial whenever she feels
like. She takes time in choosing her friends and I pray she accepts
you, if not her dad won’t have any other choice than to look for your
replacement. She also has tons of admirers which doubled since her
dad became the state governor. You know she’s a very good catch’’
she answered freely while I smiled.
‘’so how long have you been an agent?’’ she asked.
‘’just a year and few months’’ I answered.
‘’I never knew the department has young fine guys like you’’ she
complemented while I blushed.
***@THE AIRPORT***
After waiting for almost an hour, the plane we were expecting finally
landed, bringing our nervous wait to an end. I couldn’t help but
make the sign of the cross as we waited for Clara to show up.
‘’are you nervous?’’ Vivian asked with a smile.
‘’not really ‘’ I lied. She offered her hand which I took.
‘’just relax’’ she breathed with concern before pointing at the girl we
came to pick up.
‘’here she is’’ she added excitedly.
We soon met up with Clara who hugged Vivian happily before nodding
at me as she probably wondered who I was.
‘’I hope he isn’t security?’’ she asked Vivian with a smile.
‘’no, he’s a family friend. Does he look like a security guy?’’ Vivian
answered while Clara 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 Val, 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 Vivian earlier advised and of course
Clara bought it.
‘’oh val. 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 Vivian rolled her eyes as she
listened.
‘’I hope you are not hitting on him because he is mine?’’ Vivian
finally added, while Clara 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 Vivian 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…….
