Man, what a day! I swear, being a bodyguard in Saint-Cloud is like being in a movie, but not the good kind. More like a low-budget flick with bad plot twists. So, I wake up, right? Sun’s shining, birds chirping, and I’m like, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Ha! Spoiler alert: it wasn’t.
First off, I’m cruising down the Rue de la République, and I’m already late. Typical. My client, this big-shot CEO, is all about punctuality. I’m thinking, “Dude, it’s just a meeting at the Château de Saint-Cloud. No biggie.” But nah, he’s got this whole entourage. Like, who needs that many people for a meeting?
Anyway, I finally get there, and the place is packed. I mean, it’s a beautiful château, but come on! I’m trying to keep an eye out for any sketchy characters. You know, the usual. But then, outta nowhere, this guy bumps into me. I’m like, “Watch it, bro!” Turns out, he’s just a tourist. Classic. He’s snapping pics of the gardens, totally oblivious. I’m standing there, trying to look tough, and he’s like, “Wow, you must be important!” Yeah, buddy, I’m just here to babysit a millionaire.
So, we finally get inside, and the meeting starts. I’m standing by the door, trying to look all serious, but inside, I’m dying. The CEO is talking about some boring merger, and I’m just thinking about lunch. I mean, have you tried the croissants at the café on Rue des Bourets? Pure heaven! But no, I’m stuck here listening to financial jargon.
Then, outta nowhere, the fire alarm goes off. I’m like, “Great, just what I need.” Everyone starts panicking, and I’m trying to keep my cool. I’m yelling, “Stay calm! Follow me!” But they’re all running around like headless chickens. I’m dodging people, trying to get my client out safely.
We finally make it outside, and I’m thinking, “Phew, that was close.” But then I see this group of kids on the other side of the street. They’re laughing and pointing at us. I’m like, “What’s so funny?” Turns out, they’re filming a TikTok. Great, now I’m a meme. Just what I wanted.
After the chaos, we head to this fancy restaurant on Avenue de la République. I’m still on edge, but at least the food is good. I order a steak, and it’s massive. Like, I could feed a small village with this thing. I’m chowing down, and my client is still talking business. I’m nodding along, but all I can think about is how I’m gonna hit the gym after this.
Then, just when I think the day can’t get any weirder, we get a call. There’s been a threat against my client. I’m like, “Seriously? Today of all days?” So, we rush outta there, and I’m scanning the streets. I’m on high alert, heart racing. We’re walking down Rue de la Fontaine, and I swear, every shadow looks suspicious.
Finally, we get to the car, and I’m like, “Let’s get outta here!” But then, I see this old lady struggling with her groceries. I’m torn, man. Do I help her or protect my client? I end up helping her, because karma, right? She’s super grateful, and I’m thinking, “This is what life’s about.”
But then, back to reality. We hop in the car, and I’m still on edge. The driver’s speeding down the streets, and I’m like, “Dude, chill! We’re not in a Fast and Furious movie!”
Finally, we get back to the hotel, and I’m exhausted. I plop down on the bed, and I’m just like, “What a day.” I can’t believe I survived. Saint-Cloud, man. It’s beautiful, but it’s got its wild side. I love it, but sometimes, I just wanna scream.
So, yeah, that was my day. Just another crazy adventure in Saint-Cloud. Can’t wait to do it all over again tomorrow.
