So let us boil this down a bit.
Charlotte has been around superstars her entire career. She is in fact a supermodel. She's seen too much and heard it all. Zack has NO CHANCE getting to her. He has nothing to offer that she hasn't turned down before and she's not going to be taken in by his bullshit.

Emma is certainly naive but there is also NO WAY the MC is going to let anyone take advantage of her. After all Zack could be her stalker. Not going to happen. Period. The only question is how much free reign is the MC going to allow Emma before he steps in. My guess is that she'll get bruised, but he'll be there to "adjust" Zack's behavior long before she's actually harmed. That is, after all, his job.

Most of the action around Zack, assuming he's not the stalker, is random noise. Apparently there are threats to Susie, Emma, and Charlotte. Those are the story threads that matter. Those are the threats that the MC has to neutralize. Hopefully the next update will start to clear away the smoke and we'll get insight into those threats.

His job is to protect them, not protect the daughter's cherry from the man she desperately want to pop her cherry.
Since when does a bodyguard stops what in essence would be a couple, from having sex?
I'm not arguing Zak's an asshole, but, protecting a young girl's cherry from the one she's wet about non stop, is not part of the job's description

I agree with those who say it's inhuman to want something bad to happen to Emma but I also agree with this, MC was hired to keep her safe from the stalker not to protect her innocence, now if its rape then yes that's where MC steps in but in this case Emma is so desperate to be with Zak she'd probably spread her lil legs in a heartbeat for him, that of course is not MCs problem. So if Zak does get his way with her(which obviously he won't, I highly doubt dev would let anything like that happen to Charlotte or Emma or any of the LIs without giving us as the MC an option to prevent it from happening) but in the instance where he does get his way and she was willing then that has buggerall to do with the MC and one can't say he failed as a bodyguard.

Sorry, I've reached my quota of reaction on the site apparently... didn't know there was such a thing, but yesterday was a busy day on several threads

 

[AngelsAfterDark]

he's not yet the father figure, or involved with the mother either.
As such, while he can object on security grounds to some things, he's got nothing to say regarding how they deal with their private life

Facts, however let's not deny that MC stopping Zak from getting his way with Emma will instantly get him brownie points with Charlotte lol.

You taking having a wank WAY too seriously...

Arguable.
It entirely depends on the situation, and what Charlotte told him before the date.

Let's assume the writer goes for the "worse outcome": Zak arrives, meets Charlotte, somehow silver tongues her (she is after all now, a lot less on guard with men, especially if the MC is around and she feel safe).
Now, assuming the mother ends up "liking Zak", which she would have no reasons not to at this time, as neither her or the MC knows what a fuckhead he is. She'd had to go on whatever happens during her meeting him.

Now, the date happens, MC was told to either keep an eye out for protection, or not to follow them by Charlotte. Zak is invited by Emma in her bedroom, she spreads her legs and pussy lips, and he pops her cherry...

Alternatively, since as far as we can tell, he's more interested in Charlotte, he'll give her plenty of TLC and "love", without popping her cherry or doing anything indecent, to get closer to Charlotte (which in all respect, would be a lot smarter to do.)

At which point would the MC have anything to do or say in this?
Zak's good at getting women to let him fuck him, can't blame him for that ^_^

 

[Deleted member 2755092]

Wtf

I'm not even kidding Woke up at 7am today, checked the forum, did one reaction, and then this lol.

 

[Canto Forte]

MC knows Zak is a drug rapist and he knows from his peers.
He knows Zak is no sweet talker, he just takes the girls who idolize him.
Girls come to him, he never got anyone by pursuing her.
His game is that which charly knows all too well - the rapist kind.

If the mc knows that, he should have already told Charlotte about it. If he hasn't there's a big fail on his part there, since that would put Zak very high on the suspect list.

The mc isn't the brightest bulb. He let that paparazzo walk based on just his word that he'd delete the pics lol. Didn't even think to question him on who the stalker was even though the paparazzo knew. Literally brainlet

In all fairness, paparazzis are an integral part of a star's life.

Not condoning how they do their business, but they're usually only a threat to one's reputation, hence, aside from keeping them at a certain distance, not really part of his bodyguard's duty either.
Also, the story does need to happen and move forward, we do need to allow some leniency here and there

 

[Canto Forte]

A bodyguard stops the incoming assault.
This game is not the avengers end game part 2,
only after thanos literally killed your family, gamer!

A bodyguard is not a vigilante or a hero like magik mike to stop ongoing crimes,
MC needs to improvise and prevent the action, not what he did all throughout - damage control.

Zak is famous, he's not a Casanova, the only reason why girls want him is because he's a movie star, that instantly makes him the most wanted guy at school...however Charlotte is not a niave teen girl who'd fall for shit like that, honestly it would make no sense for her to be fine with Emma dating Zak even if he comes off as the greatest guy to walk the planet. Yes MC made her more comfortable but really tho she's only more comfortable with him not with men in general and her being okay with an actor dating her daughter after everything she's been through would be odd. Even if he comes of as a sweet guy, I mean MC was nice to her since day 1 but she hated him so for her to just start trusting every guy just because she trusts MC is a bit stupid and Charlotte is not stupid. But of course judging by the preview she seems fine with him which makes no sense given the fact that Charlotte hates men, just because shes starting to warm up to MC doesn't mean she'd automatically trust any other guy especially an actor, I mean Char is surrounded by actors and agents and she knows how scummy some of em are.

 

[Canto Forte]

She cannot be confy as she keeps being harassed hard in every event she goes to.
She needs to let MC in because he cannot prevent any harm if he is a mile apart from his VIP.
The bodyguar movie works in explaining you cannot keep your protection detail in the cellar.
By the time MC gets up and wonders the house looking for assailants, the house is burning.

At present, we can only speculate on what'll happen from the couple of shots we've seen and what has happened so far.

I believe you are letting your own personal view and the player's knowledge of Zak influence "Charlotte's/MC's" view in game (sorry, hard to write it better or clearer there ).

I mean, I'll agree that he's a star and pussies are dripping when he's around just because of that. I'll also agree that his character is arguable detestable... BUT, he's certainly not much worse than most of our similar real life stars around his age with his body, and we know how much pussies those guys do get.

As for Charlotte, I believe she is in her weakest moment mentally, where she is learning to trust men again, and has constant conflicting doubts in her mind (should I/Was I wrong/etc), which is probably the "worse time" for her to meet Zak, because even if something ticks her off, she's likely to think "Am I imagining things? Do I let my past experiences crush Emma's love...?"

It is quite a plausible scenario with what we have seen and what we know so far. Just my opinion of course, but it's likely this could happen.

Yippe, I had ONE reaction to give it seems! Guess it's from hours to hours or something.
Yes, yesterday I was busy on three threads, with a rather larger than usual activity

It's not about my personal view actually it's rather logic based on Charlotte's behavior and experience. Logically if you were in her situation and went through the shit she went through would you then trust you innocent daughter who knows buggerall about the real world to date an actor? As you point out most actors act the way Zak acts and Charlotte obviously is aware of that being in the entertainment industry herself, now if Zak was just some normal kid at Emma's school I'd say Charlotte being fine with Emma dating Zak would be plausible but her knowing that he's an actor and knowing how innocent her daughter is would be dumb from her part.

Yes Charlotte is vulnerable at the moment and what you say does make sense but really tho a woman who've been avoiding men and hating men for years to just automatically be fine with her teen daughter dating some kid she doesn't even know, who also happens to be a celebrity (can't stress that enough) just because one dude showed her that she can trust him(the MC) is just odd in my opinion.
Of course I'm not basing this on general but rather on what the story has told us about Charlotte thus far and how closed off she is towards men with the exception of MC(and even with him she's not entirely open yet)

Alas this is all just specs I guess, honestly discussing what happens next just makes me even more anxious about the next update and it couldn't come soon enough

Honestly I had no idea one can exhaust the option to reacti don't often "react" so I guess thats why.
