Suddenly, Katherine heard a familiar voice from a distance.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAtTNoJj6PQM
209Please respect copyright.PENANALLqyhA5Sgd
"Hey, Miss Yuzon! Long time no see."
209Please respect copyright.PENANAsB3k2fyOaR
209Please respect copyright.PENANASDPVXxlYYg
209Please respect copyright.PENANA7BhEZF6sOH
As she turned around, it surprised her of what she saw. "Haze?”
209Please respect copyright.PENANAu7J14bSOEC
209Please respect copyright.PENANA6OxoPKqiJm
209Please respect copyright.PENANAkwO1VQ42H0
"Oh, come on. Can you just call me Denzel, please? We've graduated from college already," he complained.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1OuXAKmi0
209Please respect copyright.PENANAuwWGmw16J1
209Please respect copyright.PENANAZTo2mHVS2u
“How long have you known each other?” Arianne interrupted as she noticed the closeness of the two.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAwgOiOfMcgB
209Please respect copyright.PENANAH9LP5uc2UN
209Please respect copyright.PENANAHEcBQ9rXpa
"Yes!" Denzel replied with enthusiasm, turning back to Katherine.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAMmGqOUbVcs
209Please respect copyright.PENANA2uIkBAnUI7
209Please respect copyright.PENANAndX4Oi6KD3
"That's why I saw you became very close," Arianne, stating of what she have observed from the two in front of her.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAramTTVBobe
209Please respect copyright.PENANAaO8dqCimHD
209Please respect copyright.PENANAb7Os6gs1qJ
Denzel is just laughed. “How are you two related, anyway?"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAG5aBI46Seg
209Please respect copyright.PENANAP3ejpM4x8y
209Please respect copyright.PENANAbvtURVgFqE
"We're first degree cousins," Katherine responded to the guy.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAPFuk2O0ZtE
209Please respect copyright.PENANAb1HRofuV4T
209Please respect copyright.PENANAkUFtX8Qk37
Denzel shook hands with Katherine's cousin. "Nice to meet you, Arianne."
209Please respect copyright.PENANA3w74JDuOWe
209Please respect copyright.PENANAogePMsMIFP
209Please respect copyright.PENANA5oRO60Lmly
"Same here," Arianne replied with a smile. She couldn't believe that they were already friends before. Arianne wondered if there had been a romantic relationship her cousin and Denzel.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAXqPVihdIxS
209Please respect copyright.PENANAaRbvtM8Bza
209Please respect copyright.PENANAoUjusH4XUJ
The guy turned his attention back to Katherine.
209Please respect copyright.PENANA6lEjwJLWyU
209Please respect copyright.PENANAs5Jj6zvodX
209Please respect copyright.PENANA10v3DfQOZo
"Okay! Why are you here, anyway?" she asked to change the flow of conversation.
209Please respect copyright.PENANA7ak2Cutz7o
209Please respect copyright.PENANA2uE4yoxOxv
209Please respect copyright.PENANAdY93msK7CP

209Please respect copyright.PENANAaOWz2dxAGB
209Please respect copyright.PENANASPecSAJVfD
209Please respect copyright.PENANAFnrt3yLQG7
"I do not know since we haven't talked in a long time, eh," Katherine answered.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAua45zJH2bb
209Please respect copyright.PENANAmmiMmscXUf
209Please respect copyright.PENANAHFfTSFoMO7
After graduation, they went on their separate ways and didn't keep in touch, even on social media. Their lives had become more busy.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAUPfSYwblr7
209Please respect copyright.PENANATGaNYebZkd
209Please respect copyright.PENANA96rrHGmLCR
One smile lingered on the guy's face.. "Well, I'm here for the award."
209Please respect copyright.PENANACBEFsm1kW5
209Please respect copyright.PENANAyyYNArECI8
209Please respect copyright.PENANAx792c2sU0h
Katherine's gaze shifted between Arianne and the guy.. "Don't tell me you-"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAq6A7YrDtV4
209Please respect copyright.PENANAP2rsY5ejm0
209Please respect copyright.PENANAQH9tZRcBdV
"I won an award for being one of the best recording artists this year," Denzel said, cutting her off.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAfvJDIcM0Kc
209Please respect copyright.PENANAIE8aSMqlZw
209Please respect copyright.PENANA4VagdFfNes
The girl couldn't believe of what she heard. They had talked before about their goals and priorities in life. She couldn't believe that her friend had pursued his passion for music. There had been many changes between them since they graduated from college.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAm2IV62oo5e
209Please respect copyright.PENANAI3XXu7ZqSS
209Please respect copyright.PENANAxejnYwxtoE
"I realized I love music, so I still want to pursue it even though that wasn't my major in college. Music is life for me," Denzel explained again. "This is also the way I will express my thoughts and feelings for something. What about you? Are you here just to update about your favorite celebrities?"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAN2SdOXjGmV
209Please respect copyright.PENANA3Gk8EPzm4u
209Please respect copyright.PENANAkRfpewk9CC
"I received an award too, for being a best-selling author," she said directly, causing the guy to furrow his brow in surprise.
209Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZyEaHjAmr
209Please respect copyright.PENANAeDAMpWnqVT
209Please respect copyright.PENANAaXmTwMvLoQ
"Really?" Denzel asked. "I didn't know you desired for writing too. I only knew you liked only singing like me."
209Please respect copyright.PENANAdcxyljczyH
209Please respect copyright.PENANAGHIU8pQlnH
209Please respect copyright.PENANAqShfOkD7C8
"I'm also interested in writing during childhood and our teenage years, but I didn't take it seriously because I tried to explore my skills in singing."
209Please respect copyright.PENANAjDai4PI9Ac
209Please respect copyright.PENANAmAEAcZUy54
209Please respect copyright.PENANANcACJPSE3P
Both of them spending together in a corner of their classroom during break time or when there’s no professor for some subject.. They would just sing using a guitar.
209Please respect copyright.PENANASC8CB5gXOp
209Please respect copyright.PENANAXcnXielHg6
209Please respect copyright.PENANAOGUOHlyaX3
"But you still singing?" asked the guy.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAOAsh0OphT8
209Please respect copyright.PENANAMv2mvWgqF1
209Please respect copyright.PENANAt9gIoYPIQK
"No, I'm more focused on the novels I write, so my voice isn't used for singing anymore," she stated.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAi3K1brmQ6O
209Please respect copyright.PENANAROJVJ0Vt8q
209Please respect copyright.PENANAxT4fLU6oGP
"It's a shame because you had a beautiful voice back then, but I will support you in your writing career."
209Please respect copyright.PENANANCGYMjN1wV
209Please respect copyright.PENANA8as7PVExfI
209Please respect copyright.PENANAYCdFMfnLhb
The girl smiled. "Thank you, and I will also support your music career."
209Please respect copyright.PENANAp5rt22iI17
209Please respect copyright.PENANA0d2CFiwAtu
209Please respect copyright.PENANA3HGwrAl8id
"Anyway, are you going home now?" the guy asking Katherine.
209Please respect copyright.PENANALWlsD90OAo
209Please respect copyright.PENANAKAo5Qe6fbp
209Please respect copyright.PENANAIJuGmBaWFY
"Yes, why?" she responded.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAfL1mczRDxe
209Please respect copyright.PENANAfafjJTA3VQ
209Please respect copyright.PENANAyGfRiMZHwo
"Don't go yet, because I want to invite you both for a meal outside. My treat!"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6fbyBORpp
209Please respect copyright.PENANAPvyiqjzYoy
209Please respect copyright.PENANAdBhxahVmqc
The guy's face showed his eagerness to spend time with his old friend again. It was the start of a new stage for their friendship after years of being apart.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAaX8I5K9gnw
209Please respect copyright.PENANAntPnngUL8S
209Please respect copyright.PENANAiFYPjkLezh
"Sure, but can you please wait for a second? I need to inform them first," Katherine said.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAiiBxLIDnMp
209Please respect copyright.PENANAlHusHzhQdY
209Please respect copyright.PENANAoGHg5jGFl7
"Who?" Denzel asked with a puzzlement.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAxXVXjxH1kF
209Please respect copyright.PENANAXKYljszDsQ
209Please respect copyright.PENANASNONxGnX5c
"My personal bodyguards," as Katherine hesitantly mentioned them to Denzel.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAhculwfhCw2
209Please respect copyright.PENANAGjzLRDHPaQ
209Please respect copyright.PENANADkRSZjbj1o
He grinned at her statement, "For real? I didn't expect that you have bodyguards now."
209Please respect copyright.PENANA32668TFNrs
209Please respect copyright.PENANASAudfxWAhv
209Please respect copyright.PENANAXTHa70aF9F
"What else do you think? It's my grandfather's preference," Katherine replied.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAQCyFxiwos4
209Please respect copyright.PENANAzX07toqwdp
209Please respect copyright.PENANApAXbveazwT
"It's so tough when there's someone seems beautiful like you," Denzel teased.
209Please respect copyright.PENANA3AYOw5S5IC
209Please respect copyright.PENANA8iyhjBqOw6
209Please respect copyright.PENANAzvIUgDZjtO
"Tzk, whatever, Haze," Katherine reacted with a sigh. "Well, just stay here. I have to talk to them first."
209Please respect copyright.PENANAbzmbMFcpMg
209Please respect copyright.PENANA1JzrQIOFzv
209Please respect copyright.PENANAYUmSs9pSBm
"Sure," Denzel replied while looking at the direction Katherine was heading.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAH1B97zfVub
209Please respect copyright.PENANAAW9xbRzGQk
209Please respect copyright.PENANAVPQP7DmGPl
Their conversation didn't last long as the guy had somewhere else to go. They just quickly returned to the mansion.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5O6oNRWxD
209Please respect copyright.PENANAAFWFimYl4f
209Please respect copyright.PENANAcSXLvUpUih
In the evening, Katherine decided to go to their mini-library to do some research for her novel. She picked up one of the Psychology and philosophy books.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAqQTKr6bOht
209Please respect copyright.PENANA0a7ja6hWDo
209Please respect copyright.PENANANBiec9MRit
After a few moments, her personal bodyguard, Gabriel, entered the room. She didn't pay attention to him and continued gathering information from the book she was reading until Gabriel was the one who initiated the conversation.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAsMC1pzSMeQ
209Please respect copyright.PENANAg14k10otkY
209Please respect copyright.PENANAW4WK52XHgB
"How well do you know him?" Gabriel asked her directly. She was not interested at the beginning however, attempted herself that seems interested at the end.
209Please respect copyright.PENANA9OoaEhM4Zb
209Please respect copyright.PENANAr2fO7bHOvF
209Please respect copyright.PENANAB9zkuZ63FF
Katherine turned a page before speaking again, "Who?"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAFE4a6iBD9g
209Please respect copyright.PENANA8mR7R3R0hW
209Please respect copyright.PENANAzkxfbyMfp3
"The guy you were with Arianne." the guy replied.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAZJ9ed2oShQ
209Please respect copyright.PENANAT6QiurqPgs
209Please respect copyright.PENANAwtBwWe5nV0
"Uhh, Haze. What about him?"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAF5dCMMCMVE
209Please respect copyright.PENANAs92nJvPMPF
209Please respect copyright.PENANAtQC6e9Rewz
Katherine pretended to be busy, but she sensed a strange atmosphere between her and Gabriel. It felt like he was investigating the identity of her old friend.
209Please respect copyright.PENANA10LYeDW2Li
209Please respect copyright.PENANAtL6nuGmJCy
209Please respect copyright.PENANAQBVbsQqlOI
"I just want to know if you've known each other for a long time or if you just met today."
209Please respect copyright.PENANAg3o4KUqVrm
209Please respect copyright.PENANA2RgU8cjm7h
209Please respect copyright.PENANAEKnFp6aVek
"Haze and I have known each other for a long time. We're old friends from college."
209Please respect copyright.PENANAjFkDUvcjXe
209Please respect copyright.PENANAKQQpSJF7NC
209Please respect copyright.PENANAGe4Gcd9N4H
Gabriel furrowed his brow, analyzing every word that Katherine will say.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAQ42VMofGKw
209Please respect copyright.PENANAggeL8RT04e
209Please respect copyright.PENANAsZtRDkKtia
"Really?"
209Please respect copyright.PENANApKZTv5Eonw
209Please respect copyright.PENANA5wQpahIhVb
209Please respect copyright.PENANAyBOKNM1NvP
The girl paused reading and faced Gabriel. "We just haven't talked much after college. We had our own lives and became more busy."
209Please respect copyright.PENANA5Tje7yQIP2
209Please respect copyright.PENANAobExSnzf8G
209Please respect copyright.PENANAPkWjcPulyA
There was annoyance in Katherine's voice as Gabriel kept asking her personal questions. She had to hold back because she didn't want her grandfather to scold her.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAK2hXWyTSsf
209Please respect copyright.PENANAJZqGgvpkKk
209Please respect copyright.PENANARcL3Grw0WF
"So it's been a long time since you were not talking to each other right?" Gabriel said in a sarcasm, the reason that Katherine frowned her head upon him.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAXRxczRnPlL
209Please respect copyright.PENANAZeDQQEYRrw
209Please respect copyright.PENANAFHUe8mlNlK
"Well, why you're supposing to ask so many questions about him? I've noticed your investigative nature, uh. You're just my bodyguard, not my best friend or even a boyfriend," she explained in a irritated voice.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAA4k7Pn4Jak
209Please respect copyright.PENANAucRISAp0ZG
209Please respect copyright.PENANAOu1RkDilzK
Katherine couldn't control her annoyance towards Gabriel for longer. He was too strict, poking his nose into other people's private information and questioning her about it.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAmZ4Dbcj0VL
209Please respect copyright.PENANAVaqhlRYLPb
209Please respect copyright.PENANAhDpmzKeLUZ
"Yes, I just met you now, but my grandfather has known me for a long time, and above all, he trusts me," Gabriel said seriously but he remained calm. "That's why he assigned me to this job because he knows whom he can trust. I've been doing my job right as your personal bodyguard."
209Please respect copyright.PENANAHRzXI1sSrM
209Please respect copyright.PENANAKRTgXrqbsR
209Please respect copyright.PENANAC5D0EiXXLW
"What are you trying to prove on me? Besides, I don't care if you're close to my grandfather. I just want to do what I want and no one can stop me from making friends with anyone."
209Please respect copyright.PENANAnWOiD3Sy06
209Please respect copyright.PENANAohJbiR4yOX
209Please respect copyright.PENANAxnPwOcfJDd
After that, Katherine took the lead. She stood up and went back to where she had left her book.
209Please respect copyright.PENANASgSebca6vC
209Please respect copyright.PENANALWbNvaxorP
209Please respect copyright.PENANAPnqBbcGUSV
"But sorry, Miss Yuzon, it's my job as your personal bodyguard to protect you from any trouble or problems, whether you like it or not. Your grandfather hired me to do this, so you have no choice but to follow me."
209Please respect copyright.PENANAzDANQ7pz8F
209Please respect copyright.PENANAgxE9xBT8XI
209Please respect copyright.PENANAtKK7VU478O
Katherine still annoyed when she walked away. She didn't want to argue with Gabriel anymore. It would lead nowhere.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAbv8I3EUYxU
209Please respect copyright.PENANAGTYBLWkSmc
209Please respect copyright.PENANAe0oy187juu
Katherine locked herself in her room for a few days to finish writing her novel and submit it to a publishing company. She was eager to see the outcome of her new work.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAg1whFxwl9A
209Please respect copyright.PENANAW5b74lH058

209Please respect copyright.PENANA9tCeFmrmp2
209Please respect copyright.PENANALFiE33hgU8
209Please respect copyright.PENANA9tXYxHx1l8
Katherine: Yes, because I'm also getting bored here in my grandfather's mansion. I also want to feel new environment.

Alright, I'll also inform Rian and my bodyguards about this so they can prepare.

209Please respect copyright.PENANAuWPStrXM4S
209Please respect copyright.PENANAtePB6rdFSi
209Please respect copyright.PENANAs2bCmKwLXv
After their conversation, Katherine immediately went to Arianne to tell her about the conversation she had with Denzel.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAR71yc6IFDi
209Please respect copyright.PENANAsdvdwPrrx2
209Please respect copyright.PENANAJz7nmUaB4S
"Is that true?" Arianne asked in surprise after Katherine mentioned the outing tomorrow. "Omg, this is exciting! But the problem is that if your strict bodyguard will allow us?"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAMR8saquoFm
209Please respect copyright.PENANAiUldTshaOc
209Please respect copyright.PENANAW60OTNpPh4
"Of course, I won't tell him that we'll be accompanied by others, right!" Katherine replied. "I'll take care of it. Just trust my impressive strategy." she added, full of confidence in herself.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAF2hzkGnC0r
209Please respect copyright.PENANAvTGPUlaqkv
209Please respect copyright.PENANAQkjUWRO0oP
The girl gained the courage to go to Gabriel's room. She knocked twice before he opened the door while the guy only wrapped his body by a towel.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAoY3JEyEInl
209Please respect copyright.PENANAr0xz4zYvOz
209Please respect copyright.PENANA6w5260CD1j
"Ah!" she got startled by what she saw, so he quickly composed herself.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAXtIkxRQUtw
209Please respect copyright.PENANAsBjk0J3xvs
209Please respect copyright.PENANAmXi79ZnNfW
"Just a moment, let me change," Gabriel replied with embarassment.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAy5AcBhJveY
209Please respect copyright.PENANA3eIFpcGBPe
209Please respect copyright.PENANAgZPp9Difrj
He quickly went back inside to change his clothes.
209Please respect copyright.PENANA7W4uwTPX0R
209Please respect copyright.PENANAOuFLosOj9M
209Please respect copyright.PENANAj7T8bKonej
"I thought it was Patricio. I was surprised to see that it was you knocking on the door." The guy's discomfort with that system was evident.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAMq0LQEEm0k
209Please respect copyright.PENANAwqfOx5HlGv
209Please respect copyright.PENANAMJppEkoikb
"Why did you come here?" Gabriel asked.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAunknbqhxPy
209Please respect copyright.PENANANnWksmlyW4
209Please respect copyright.PENANAf4xMwLB9pj
"I wanted to ask for your permission. I'm planning to go for an outing tomorrow because it getting bored myself here, and I have almost get sick in the next few days."
209Please respect copyright.PENANAbFHFh3FVkz
209Please respect copyright.PENANAx9hH99YsPh
209Please respect copyright.PENANAq7xJph1yMH
Katherine put up a convincing act. She even added a little playfulness at the end to persuade Gabriel.
209Please respect copyright.PENANARTEAauSWIj
209Please respect copyright.PENANAXBiGSfLMbs
209Please respect copyright.PENANAoABnz5IMpM
It took a few seconds before the guy answered, "Why is the plan so sudden?"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAB9LXq5dtEr
209Please respect copyright.PENANAfXXhZdZLZC
209Please respect copyright.PENANA8O7yFbNrIM
"I just thought of it earlier," Katherine reasoned while looking straight at him.
209Please respect copyright.PENANALCIsveG2gk
209Please respect copyright.PENANApuIkvM9agx
209Please respect copyright.PENANAgno6HkBjNY
"Okay, fine. I agree to go for an outing tomorrow," Gabriel replied with a certainty.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAabpmnj20DZ
209Please respect copyright.PENANAtQa3e8eYSQ
209Please respect copyright.PENANAyolqeaynKq
There's nothing probably in granting Katherine's request, even if it's just once. He felt some pity for the girl.
209Please respect copyright.PENANA4W86gt1drW
209Please respect copyright.PENANAdKCEznvKvu
209Please respect copyright.PENANANCCfzEuXur
"Thank you for agreeing," Katherine's smile widened at Gabriel's consent.
209Please respect copyright.PENANA3GSTDUgXeC
209Please respect copyright.PENANAlhPF5UNWLh
209Please respect copyright.PENANAyhtAonvmuZ

209Please respect copyright.PENANARYLX7lK8Bv
209Please respect copyright.PENANAyq4J6jaWel
209Please respect copyright.PENANAOehWWwCZfq
Agreeing to Katherine's plan for outing was the good favor to do. He also felt bored then because he was almost confined to the mansion and couldn't go out anywhere. He did nothing but monitor Katherine's every move in her room and keep an eye on her wherever she went because that was his job.
209Please respect copyright.PENANApZvcq7Q5oR
