Chapter 23 - My Security Men
People told stories about the two men who entered behind me that day.
They imagined threats.
Weapons.
Intimidation.
None happened.
Marcus Lee and Thomas Greene were licensed executive-protection professionals employed by my company.
They had accompanied me from a business meeting.
When I entered the patio, they stayed near the gate.
They never touched Vanessa.
Never touched Daniel.
Never blocked anyone from leaving.
When Vanessa later claimed their presence made her feel intimidated, I accepted that perception.
Two large men in black suits can change a room even silently.
So future family pickups happened without them unless there was an actual security reason.
My wealth and authority could create pressure even when I did not speak.

That was another lesson.
Power needs restraint before someone else has to request it.
