Suddenly, Katherine heard a familiar voice from a distance.
162Please respect copyright.PENANArH2BClZEOh
162Please respect copyright.PENANASRb1dszpXL
"Hey, Miss Yuzon! Long time no see."
162Please respect copyright.PENANAuJUguniECl
162Please respect copyright.PENANALFpi8GeDpa
162Please respect copyright.PENANAu0YgyxoFT4
As she turned around, it surprised her of what she saw. "Haze?”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAy3ct0Vyrys
162Please respect copyright.PENANAoNITlkbPR0
162Please respect copyright.PENANAq2BtXN0a9L
"Oh, come on. Can you just call me Denzel, please? We've graduated from college already," he complained.
162Please respect copyright.PENANADsx1wuuXOU
162Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3Uqz51EMp
162Please respect copyright.PENANAqAOyTevnWU
“How long have you known each other?” Arianne interrupted as she noticed the closeness of the two.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAjJsGftQPlo
162Please respect copyright.PENANAATeQlRZTGQ
162Please respect copyright.PENANANMzIsfleeF
"Yes!" Denzel replied with enthusiasm, turning back to Katherine.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAMaUob6GrxF
162Please respect copyright.PENANAcynLk4LhN0
162Please respect copyright.PENANA3SuWwPIriI
"That's why I saw you became very close," Arianne, stating of what she have observed from the two in front of her.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAsong58l3AQ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAq55yaig1dy
162Please respect copyright.PENANAY3gCfM5Frv
Denzel is just laughed. “How are you two related, anyway?"
162Please respect copyright.PENANALTJYIS4Mgc
162Please respect copyright.PENANAL5LAUdbYnL
162Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6Ie9z5fOc
"We're first degree cousins," Katherine responded to the guy.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAsuNpoW7WeI
162Please respect copyright.PENANAg8GizdssVg
162Please respect copyright.PENANAfheiZVSi4C
Denzel shook hands with Katherine's cousin. "Nice to meet you, Arianne."
162Please respect copyright.PENANA2XYN8Z9S1f
162Please respect copyright.PENANAul9GtwgD4k
162Please respect copyright.PENANArA08jzFNkV
"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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAF6Flwd3okc
162Please respect copyright.PENANA6aEX7KDbHO
162Please respect copyright.PENANAHyePqFRuEv
The guy turned his attention back to Katherine.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAJSahcFWZ5e
162Please respect copyright.PENANA1aEd6OzK90
162Please respect copyright.PENANApWHqKIfkm8
"Okay! Why are you here, anyway?" she asked to change the flow of conversation.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAUGKuHPM5bh
162Please respect copyright.PENANAwAnZKaZrXy
162Please respect copyright.PENANA8UWhr9XmEB
"Wanna guest?" A guy smiling as he was making questions.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAaYwRiVntxD
162Please respect copyright.PENANARYBQ27QLne
162Please respect copyright.PENANAZv2vdYVB4a
"I do not know since we haven't talked in a long time, eh," Katherine answered.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAjJYofv5rm0
162Please respect copyright.PENANAV8jC7X1Vxi
162Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3T0Eu3FwV
After graduation, they went on their separate ways and didn't keep in touch, even on social media. Their lives had become more busy.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAdOCXHYdc1J
162Please respect copyright.PENANA304K3NYs7h
162Please respect copyright.PENANACqZJCHt68x
One smile lingered on the guy's face.. "Well, I'm here for the award."
162Please respect copyright.PENANAjEgE1TFH0H
162Please respect copyright.PENANArKUZPW9lrZ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAbdyEcT5VF2
Katherine's gaze shifted between Arianne and the guy.. "Don't tell me you-"
162Please respect copyright.PENANA8uNixW6835
162Please respect copyright.PENANAqHH4yGVzq7
162Please respect copyright.PENANAO8gAb2GtBy
"I won an award for being one of the best recording artists this year," Denzel said, cutting her off.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAOmKdUtLnoj
162Please respect copyright.PENANA5HA85kedcY
162Please respect copyright.PENANAF2dCmIusXc
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAIdkl3LZLPE
162Please respect copyright.PENANAQIbJZPVSzc
162Please respect copyright.PENANACkigstIKw5
"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?"
162Please respect copyright.PENANAQZfvStmXKd
162Please respect copyright.PENANAvl2wpcTLwb
162Please respect copyright.PENANAxtxEMOuPQw
"I received an award too, for being a best-selling author," she said directly, causing the guy to furrow his brow in surprise.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAM6LCVA7EVf
162Please respect copyright.PENANAL9yNj7jssE
162Please respect copyright.PENANALF32hXoRa1
"Really?" Denzel asked. "I didn't know you desired for writing too. I only knew you liked only singing like me."
162Please respect copyright.PENANAN3V1ENVwML
162Please respect copyright.PENANAWaPfnl5TEQ
162Please respect copyright.PENANApn5APo4RDE
"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."
162Please respect copyright.PENANAYwFwBKvYjM
162Please respect copyright.PENANAcAEiUMxufi
162Please respect copyright.PENANARxiVtXuoLM
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAfVQ4gKVLZO
162Please respect copyright.PENANAvqiKVj5Cdq
162Please respect copyright.PENANAthvmFkgZxa
"But you still singing?" asked the guy.
162Please respect copyright.PENANA9rpGVO0lOo
162Please respect copyright.PENANAWk9IlykRHQ
162Please respect copyright.PENANA71WvU4fZmN
"No, I'm more focused on the novels I write, so my voice isn't used for singing anymore," she stated.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAu8DFBjCAva
162Please respect copyright.PENANAlvbl7yNtGl
162Please respect copyright.PENANA7yJLzvWccx
"It's a shame because you had a beautiful voice back then, but I will support you in your writing career."
162Please respect copyright.PENANAW15KBrpOQg
162Please respect copyright.PENANATDkERsn1ok
162Please respect copyright.PENANAyFg0nswyZv
The girl smiled. "Thank you, and I will also support your music career."
162Please respect copyright.PENANAVwKLgq3o6v
162Please respect copyright.PENANAVG0278ESUL
162Please respect copyright.PENANAxhHAV3GNmN
"Anyway, are you going home now?" the guy asking Katherine.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAQEqgJoHs0Y
162Please respect copyright.PENANABAZLL6lQe1
162Please respect copyright.PENANAIsBPb2W3UK
"Yes, why?" she responded.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAHSuJuDybXE
162Please respect copyright.PENANAVnThZkIwWz
162Please respect copyright.PENANA14VNBazzqg
"Don't go yet, because I want to invite you both for a meal outside. My treat!"
162Please respect copyright.PENANACwwZz9FnOe
162Please respect copyright.PENANAfobtC0hFW9
162Please respect copyright.PENANAlIdKRaoX6K
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANA3mQJVvOUHA
162Please respect copyright.PENANA79gj3lOHnq
162Please respect copyright.PENANAGDPmWFQUxH
"Sure, but can you please wait for a second? I need to inform them first," Katherine said.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAWpatTzGrEV
162Please respect copyright.PENANAXTx225JeGK
162Please respect copyright.PENANAuwdjJa5Fun
"Who?" Denzel asked with a puzzlement.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAOoiZk62jYN
162Please respect copyright.PENANADho0jqNIyJ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAT9v7TzrcBw
"My personal bodyguards," as Katherine hesitantly mentioned them to Denzel.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAk4hOdAoCHN
162Please respect copyright.PENANArfD3kmOnEJ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAoq7VU65FQN
He grinned at her statement, "For real? I didn't expect that you have bodyguards now."
162Please respect copyright.PENANAuJgPcU5Rh4
162Please respect copyright.PENANAgDBG97sSmq
162Please respect copyright.PENANAByYdcV08bw
"What else do you think? It's my grandfather's preference," Katherine replied.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAh0nrCqZcQW
162Please respect copyright.PENANAKC69fqYM3B
162Please respect copyright.PENANANpRIm6eVPg
"It's so tough when there's someone seems beautiful like you," Denzel teased.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAhilfViYC9J
162Please respect copyright.PENANAsZj9nDpWfh
162Please respect copyright.PENANAs1tz7N7rtb
"Tzk, whatever, Haze," Katherine reacted with a sigh. "Well, just stay here. I have to talk to them first."
162Please respect copyright.PENANAyOTuoEvSAy
162Please respect copyright.PENANA5JexoTirBQ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAngRDddXAWW
"Sure," Denzel replied while looking at the direction Katherine was heading.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAKeoKv1Y98u
162Please respect copyright.PENANAhnVMBxFJMD
162Please respect copyright.PENANAILUbS8w040
Their conversation didn't last long as the guy had somewhere else to go. They just quickly returned to the mansion.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAsPC3Le2SeL
162Please respect copyright.PENANAadjUz77x8o
162Please respect copyright.PENANA54E8I9CB7e
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANArzxlfeLluV
162Please respect copyright.PENANAP3qJU4wwnj
162Please respect copyright.PENANA0zD16pKVPb
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANA6W2jgClIeb
162Please respect copyright.PENANAfjO1xmRIvq
162Please respect copyright.PENANAN0BcOxvyE3
"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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAbGA80KvmEi
162Please respect copyright.PENANA9rf5Gq4poj
162Please respect copyright.PENANAwmWLIB0E4D
Katherine turned a page before speaking again, "Who?"
162Please respect copyright.PENANAsjfxVRUMRc
162Please respect copyright.PENANADcx9mzHdS8
162Please respect copyright.PENANA9WkP54iWP9
"The guy you were with Arianne." the guy replied.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAKcHPHNzzOa
162Please respect copyright.PENANA6yzFnvzGgr
162Please respect copyright.PENANA0jZ8fGZaMR
"Uhh, Haze. What about him?"
162Please respect copyright.PENANAHepIxUnOLE
162Please respect copyright.PENANAPDJjXMmhnH
162Please respect copyright.PENANAj0Iu2sDVKa
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANApJMca6H0MJ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAlIvv3d0TvD
162Please respect copyright.PENANA7a87gfARfg
"I just want to know if you've known each other for a long time or if you just met today."
162Please respect copyright.PENANAx0l8qTXkZ2
162Please respect copyright.PENANAzOJaJvfAeK
162Please respect copyright.PENANASmtqylP3XS
"Haze and I have known each other for a long time. We're old friends from college."
162Please respect copyright.PENANA68ARPTBV9D
162Please respect copyright.PENANAfbZw9VVM3R
162Please respect copyright.PENANArZjvpBraeB
Gabriel furrowed his brow, analyzing every word that Katherine will say.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAYseaQxzqC1
162Please respect copyright.PENANAFIiVA70wQk
162Please respect copyright.PENANAt6AQJsVUjO
"Really?"
162Please respect copyright.PENANAhpd2hWnVeH
162Please respect copyright.PENANAFbyHVLlwsg
162Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9zMcYQpuh
The girl paused reading and faced Gabriel. "We just haven't talked much after college. We had our own lives and became more busy."
162Please respect copyright.PENANATI9XtWd3f9
162Please respect copyright.PENANAd94QWMzrv0
162Please respect copyright.PENANAXBpnBXbPy8
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAD4RoHvNqH6
162Please respect copyright.PENANAFivA8B5HNu
162Please respect copyright.PENANAHMUJ5SkRLq
"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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAxmIeP1oCy6
162Please respect copyright.PENANAcnvJ33iwfa
162Please respect copyright.PENANAV9DAObsE9r
"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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAxHJF86lfhM
162Please respect copyright.PENANAFYJe3b2mUw
162Please respect copyright.PENANAj7kUpRkD9u
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAUxBYILvuy3
162Please respect copyright.PENANAGBY6tnucsu
162Please respect copyright.PENANArnwCl8E522
"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."
162Please respect copyright.PENANA0TjtjFr1Sk
162Please respect copyright.PENANAiCUsinYPr7
162Please respect copyright.PENANAc9wD1UbkX6
"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."
162Please respect copyright.PENANAIz68J88wsO
162Please respect copyright.PENANA3lGMtbT3rc
162Please respect copyright.PENANAhdzJQ8Ta7i
After that, Katherine took the lead. She stood up and went back to where she had left her book.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAQPYm75Am5e
162Please respect copyright.PENANAIrMEHg4PpP
162Please respect copyright.PENANABz4l3W42Sw
"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."
162Please respect copyright.PENANA29r8pI5MIo
162Please respect copyright.PENANA1jf0Yfd4vb
162Please respect copyright.PENANA367L5qeHZ4
Katherine still annoyed when she walked away. She didn't want to argue with Gabriel anymore. It would lead nowhere.
162Please respect copyright.PENANA5wOAv5icNK
162Please respect copyright.PENANA0DZ5aA5Med
162Please respect copyright.PENANAKxPduh5QMx
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAOyOxOZim4B
162Please respect copyright.PENANAiKSGwApGsX

162Please respect copyright.PENANAbHBfKWIqWl
162Please respect copyright.PENANAxgMbXtSgRY
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.

162Please respect copyright.PENANAKQ4NOkRkxN
162Please respect copyright.PENANAjTK6XYDvFn
162Please respect copyright.PENANAoZDZCAQrsk
After their conversation, Katherine immediately went to Arianne to tell her about the conversation she had with Denzel.
162Please respect copyright.PENANABeVXHcHcww
162Please respect copyright.PENANAeC3AEZit4f
162Please respect copyright.PENANAqb5cDiU1gx
"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?"
162Please respect copyright.PENANAPTh4W6uvKP
162Please respect copyright.PENANAyqbIYyamCY
162Please respect copyright.PENANAAd5ukISsI4
"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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAAEVHnOXdM1
162Please respect copyright.PENANAxZihxAZ9wA

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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANApkAcHRMxEs
162Please respect copyright.PENANAWdIZpu4l5S
162Please respect copyright.PENANAstOqKGcivb

162Please respect copyright.PENANAj8CWDD6KuZ
162Please respect copyright.PENANA6OeKlnW9Iq
162Please respect copyright.PENANA7Z3hay4T2j
"Just a moment, let me change," Gabriel replied with embarassment.
162Please respect copyright.PENANARm9jVSl134
162Please respect copyright.PENANAlR3e4SPeIm
162Please respect copyright.PENANAR32NudOgr5
He quickly went back inside to change his clothes.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAAcCAQcpSOw
162Please respect copyright.PENANACEXxKdn8rG
162Please respect copyright.PENANA1wpThArXlQ
"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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAKsxFfaSCDp
162Please respect copyright.PENANAUyJBj8luiP
162Please respect copyright.PENANAL85v0VgsiN
"Why did you come here?" Gabriel asked.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAkHb9BM5SqO
162Please respect copyright.PENANABw51DHaxrZ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAB9OthSmJh9
"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."
162Please respect copyright.PENANAYxdc0WsIhP
162Please respect copyright.PENANAXI6Bl4YLS5
162Please respect copyright.PENANA11G1XI9LMq
Katherine put up a convincing act. She even added a little playfulness at the end to persuade Gabriel.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAdNaBpVZyur
162Please respect copyright.PENANAnPd8z9D3h8
162Please respect copyright.PENANALvjYzizW6p
It took a few seconds before the guy answered, "Why is the plan so sudden?"
162Please respect copyright.PENANAWBUpL6zbYa
162Please respect copyright.PENANA4rohGS3swS
162Please respect copyright.PENANAUkAjmcw5E1
"I just thought of it earlier," Katherine reasoned while looking straight at him.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAJPiSmTl47B
162Please respect copyright.PENANAHj34BdqDLG
162Please respect copyright.PENANAgRRt90OCbg
"Okay, fine. I agree to go for an outing tomorrow," Gabriel replied with a certainty.
162Please respect copyright.PENANA18SAOnOsx9
162Please respect copyright.PENANAitR5L3hBGW
162Please respect copyright.PENANAE5ql9J9f8T
There's nothing probably in granting Katherine's request, even if it's just once. He felt some pity for the girl.
162Please respect copyright.PENANABCx3O32iLs
162Please respect copyright.PENANAtcuHCfS4g4
162Please respect copyright.PENANAKGeCfWcXde

162Please respect copyright.PENANA4lpkQxKtEq

162Please respect copyright.PENANAm9CrvgVQHF
162Please respect copyright.PENANAVVDV3h1ZNy
162Please respect copyright.PENANATL7kCzL6X1
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAQDaB0tUiie
162Please respect copyright.PENANAxdnAbAjvqE
