Suddenly, Katherine heard a familiar voice from a distance.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAlukWqxBQ9J
350Please respect copyright.PENANA1p2jkMwl63
"Hey, Miss Yuzon! Long time no see."
350Please respect copyright.PENANAt3cRME9Xcm
350Please respect copyright.PENANA9Im3U06qu1
350Please respect copyright.PENANAnE0K7ffV5v
As she turned around, it surprised her of what she saw. "Haze?”
350Please respect copyright.PENANAxxFLnBafvU
350Please respect copyright.PENANAGetGe5PEqC
350Please respect copyright.PENANAE1tGE8yIOQ
"Oh, come on. Can you just call me Denzel, please? We've graduated from college already," he complained.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAsb1m5FGwcx
350Please respect copyright.PENANAjisM41UGh2
350Please respect copyright.PENANAWE1SgLQNEI
“How long have you known each other?” Arianne interrupted as she noticed the closeness of the two.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAwXG8TDQcJe
350Please respect copyright.PENANA9h9cRE9fxe
350Please respect copyright.PENANAb9NdUpMuMj
"Yes!" Denzel replied with enthusiasm, turning back to Katherine.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAzC09RVMiiQ
350Please respect copyright.PENANAnkTVseGScj
350Please respect copyright.PENANAN9XckmAyxc
"That's why I saw you became very close," Arianne, stating of what she have observed from the two in front of her.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAHXjliqQx7o
350Please respect copyright.PENANAXmJ0rLXz27
350Please respect copyright.PENANA76zsNphoVD
Denzel is just laughed. “How are you two related, anyway?"
350Please respect copyright.PENANAPY2mjnZAyu
350Please respect copyright.PENANA4vL5C9cX8b
350Please respect copyright.PENANAzGPgZA5KaQ
"We're first degree cousins," Katherine responded to the guy.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAL5nqRBAQYN
350Please respect copyright.PENANAeNLxjdxSGF
350Please respect copyright.PENANACbJYLlq17z
Denzel shook hands with Katherine's cousin. "Nice to meet you, Arianne."
350Please respect copyright.PENANAtoiaPzzbXm
350Please respect copyright.PENANAQeSqGljquC
350Please respect copyright.PENANAh3K7JjybLM
"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.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAgoXPbkFkrf
350Please respect copyright.PENANAgkriyXRjFI
350Please respect copyright.PENANAYvdLAbXJID
The guy turned his attention back to Katherine.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAxVIKsNDwfS
350Please respect copyright.PENANAjhLPFp1Qf3
350Please respect copyright.PENANAoUU3aVKUQh
"Okay! Why are you here, anyway?" she asked to change the flow of conversation.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAEldbCspI8k
350Please respect copyright.PENANAUj345wAvTN
350Please respect copyright.PENANApMvoL9j9tR
"Wanna guest?" A guy smiling as he was making questions.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAcQYwYczhqm
350Please respect copyright.PENANAACx0TytOQW
350Please respect copyright.PENANASLBEDc29ix
"I do not know since we haven't talked in a long time, eh," Katherine answered.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAxUipArYQ00
350Please respect copyright.PENANA3ljhMLgmiH
350Please respect copyright.PENANAavyQWaEJgR
After graduation, they went on their separate ways and didn't keep in touch, even on social media. Their lives had become more busy.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAnPeLvG2FPT
350Please respect copyright.PENANAOMYiYkyBeb
350Please respect copyright.PENANAmSOYRZOP2p
One smile lingered on the guy's face.. "Well, I'm here for the award."
350Please respect copyright.PENANAK47x0Syeeq
350Please respect copyright.PENANAPUIw4CbMxv
350Please respect copyright.PENANAj9229rLFpH
Katherine's gaze shifted between Arianne and the guy.. "Don't tell me you-"
350Please respect copyright.PENANAT7LzahLDJU
350Please respect copyright.PENANAEYH87LEWfU
350Please respect copyright.PENANAqnGx49XmTd
"I won an award for being one of the best recording artists this year," Denzel said, cutting her off.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAy9b3jCFSUe
350Please respect copyright.PENANA6OOAiJ07H2
350Please respect copyright.PENANAja1czDyLKt
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.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAztVUrGBid4
350Please respect copyright.PENANASp6neXgLv2
350Please respect copyright.PENANASwPRjNgu5L
"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?"
350Please respect copyright.PENANAWbO5E7FtHf
350Please respect copyright.PENANACXItbm4zMR
350Please respect copyright.PENANAB5BkUGPAnw
"I received an award too, for being a best-selling author," she said directly, causing the guy to furrow his brow in surprise.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAzU2Wd5dZ0K
350Please respect copyright.PENANACYxKLR5vH1
350Please respect copyright.PENANACpQIqeF58M
"Really?" Denzel asked. "I didn't know you desired for writing too. I only knew you liked only singing like me."
350Please respect copyright.PENANAHOWBLXZ3a9
350Please respect copyright.PENANAfcE61hRkTk
350Please respect copyright.PENANA4mm1Fdapcj
"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."
350Please respect copyright.PENANATllqVhb8z5
350Please respect copyright.PENANAXtmUHHE8ER
350Please respect copyright.PENANA7KRkzuN1HZ
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.
350Please respect copyright.PENANACNJqFQsEy3
350Please respect copyright.PENANAwiKxSzAC8t
350Please respect copyright.PENANA2zJVbv3tyn
"But you still singing?" asked the guy.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAwGYVuL2WlD
350Please respect copyright.PENANAXVkwC0XoUg
350Please respect copyright.PENANAhWA9ZHa7zB
"No, I'm more focused on the novels I write, so my voice isn't used for singing anymore," she stated.
350Please respect copyright.PENANABuJ3Zt0h6u
350Please respect copyright.PENANAbcScaOX2eY
350Please respect copyright.PENANA2wJPeBxtDE
"It's a shame because you had a beautiful voice back then, but I will support you in your writing career."
350Please respect copyright.PENANArBP5AENGB8
350Please respect copyright.PENANAiZsmo7fSgL
350Please respect copyright.PENANAzMbcPzLObW
The girl smiled. "Thank you, and I will also support your music career."
350Please respect copyright.PENANADisg1KrEka
350Please respect copyright.PENANAoDactXfHVv
350Please respect copyright.PENANAcYNQTP7tBF
"Anyway, are you going home now?" the guy asking Katherine.
350Please respect copyright.PENANA4IcAqT26SN
350Please respect copyright.PENANAhu7vZcrRiF
350Please respect copyright.PENANAfcSnPrL7gk
"Yes, why?" she responded.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAwgw1QeGtTm
350Please respect copyright.PENANAyrzINYLDOO
350Please respect copyright.PENANAabUbZgnhRf
"Don't go yet, because I want to invite you both for a meal outside. My treat!"
350Please respect copyright.PENANAMl9elRxmsm
350Please respect copyright.PENANAwbFsOsMaVn
350Please respect copyright.PENANAuufz5TPP6o
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.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAHcsuGf4D3U
350Please respect copyright.PENANANyG1KErtgd
350Please respect copyright.PENANAIxgZJnp8Vx
"Sure, but can you please wait for a second? I need to inform them first," Katherine said.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAQZtL3GuYHz
350Please respect copyright.PENANAghYHXyka4B
350Please respect copyright.PENANAaXeRsnUcLy
"Who?" Denzel asked with a puzzlement.
350Please respect copyright.PENANARpeVmP13R4
350Please respect copyright.PENANAUWOfguzvsz
350Please respect copyright.PENANAYMZ6HaY0bM
"My personal bodyguards," as Katherine hesitantly mentioned them to Denzel.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAxeNadIEWTg
350Please respect copyright.PENANAusXRbfPWO3
350Please respect copyright.PENANAZkpVhzVqsE
He grinned at her statement, "For real? I didn't expect that you have bodyguards now."
350Please respect copyright.PENANA8a4Tu6yKl5
350Please respect copyright.PENANAdjpbUMWW7u
350Please respect copyright.PENANAXJJ8IWrm5d
"What else do you think? It's my grandfather's preference," Katherine replied.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAbppTI3zjnz
350Please respect copyright.PENANAYb8m0BEITb
350Please respect copyright.PENANAu42LaJnSXh
"It's so tough when there's someone seems beautiful like you," Denzel teased.
350Please respect copyright.PENANA43W6s56kJC
350Please respect copyright.PENANAClKAHu1mYl
350Please respect copyright.PENANAJD1Asg1aut
"Tzk, whatever, Haze," Katherine reacted with a sigh. "Well, just stay here. I have to talk to them first."
350Please respect copyright.PENANAedcjs62QrJ
350Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZgJ1KvwW6
350Please respect copyright.PENANAhW8orLsf4M
"Sure," Denzel replied while looking at the direction Katherine was heading.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAoyK6Z3m6S8
350Please respect copyright.PENANA27qpLwuu1F
350Please respect copyright.PENANAlgzk6UrBVW
Their conversation didn't last long as the guy had somewhere else to go. They just quickly returned to the mansion.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAI5qGSBcCxA
350Please respect copyright.PENANAQXIcOZWTd9
350Please respect copyright.PENANAUmzaLgpGmN
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.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAUKWVPBDxp0
350Please respect copyright.PENANAguC582BjTD
350Please respect copyright.PENANAIGM15cowQH
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.
350Please respect copyright.PENANARCOqyEZpJV
350Please respect copyright.PENANAoQdU2jjPIA
350Please respect copyright.PENANArqB5GzBXa0
"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.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAiRqwQQykgP
350Please respect copyright.PENANAIgE7igQCPS
350Please respect copyright.PENANAuKfS96VffN
Katherine turned a page before speaking again, "Who?"
350Please respect copyright.PENANAwpvvyy0leJ
350Please respect copyright.PENANAX8byAwonlK
350Please respect copyright.PENANAiqRkYvi8gP
"The guy you were with Arianne." the guy replied.
350Please respect copyright.PENANA4vrOCMq4nM
350Please respect copyright.PENANAJZnjPbd6iT
350Please respect copyright.PENANA09mWlnBySt
"Uhh, Haze. What about him?"
350Please respect copyright.PENANAyDMo1sLEkh
350Please respect copyright.PENANArNYUj3Ek6e
350Please respect copyright.PENANArewIb7EDKw
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.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAvRRJfnMsv7
350Please respect copyright.PENANAzKsvGBspSV
350Please respect copyright.PENANAJZEVwLfXb5
"I just want to know if you've known each other for a long time or if you just met today."
350Please respect copyright.PENANA67EfMLNrSK
350Please respect copyright.PENANAKz8rbCoEeV
350Please respect copyright.PENANA9dwMk1L2v3
"Haze and I have known each other for a long time. We're old friends from college."
350Please respect copyright.PENANAwCaRJuxk3u
350Please respect copyright.PENANAcmc17IkCMp
350Please respect copyright.PENANAexP03VrQGi
Gabriel furrowed his brow, analyzing every word that Katherine will say.
350Please respect copyright.PENANA1uEj0EBcUm
350Please respect copyright.PENANAM6zzXDz2Q7
350Please respect copyright.PENANAaoTQceR1r1
"Really?"
350Please respect copyright.PENANATKRNhGeSWI
350Please respect copyright.PENANA7QIVb6j424
350Please respect copyright.PENANA1jiK6GW4FG
The girl paused reading and faced Gabriel. "We just haven't talked much after college. We had our own lives and became more busy."
350Please respect copyright.PENANA6VypJP7lie
350Please respect copyright.PENANAzxtuCrfQeW
350Please respect copyright.PENANAh3VeOtGQZi
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.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAoz5cFCZyAm
350Please respect copyright.PENANA5Mos7eIlYP
350Please respect copyright.PENANAyROcc961dP
"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.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAjJKYFjzxPU
350Please respect copyright.PENANAc7ILXWzPoZ
350Please respect copyright.PENANATUiqhSCFq1
"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.
350Please respect copyright.PENANASSG4oEirqD
350Please respect copyright.PENANAUJcPmBq2K6
350Please respect copyright.PENANAF1Q2dbwQwp
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.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAsvy94KcB1R
350Please respect copyright.PENANA4Fi8ffsak0
350Please respect copyright.PENANAmFLRdrJCQH
"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."
350Please respect copyright.PENANAluI9TlAIRf
350Please respect copyright.PENANAq9qf960D8X
350Please respect copyright.PENANAHItHKEm5Sa
"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."
350Please respect copyright.PENANAQkUgCr9s5K
350Please respect copyright.PENANA4BYU8DdcmH
350Please respect copyright.PENANAiiNK5OnIXA
After that, Katherine took the lead. She stood up and went back to where she had left her book.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAvVN3BSDSSC
350Please respect copyright.PENANA832qWSt8Ea
350Please respect copyright.PENANA4WqTuDBRUe
"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."
350Please respect copyright.PENANAmI8wLIct6v
350Please respect copyright.PENANAVN8WcFMnpW
350Please respect copyright.PENANAB96uRSpDtF
Katherine still annoyed when she walked away. She didn't want to argue with Gabriel anymore. It would lead nowhere.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAiZvkX7riUf
350Please respect copyright.PENANALUKrFXZMLY
350Please respect copyright.PENANApmUMQ28BS0
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.
350Please respect copyright.PENANA2JFsjVS1Zc
350Please respect copyright.PENANAp1btN7qScL
350Please respect copyright.PENANABL6VpfkRE1

Hey, how are you? I would like to invite you to go out tomorrow, like an outing. My boredom striking me if I go there alone again.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAWmd8rcKDHP
350Please respect copyright.PENANAPttTPwhhjA

350Please respect copyright.PENANAaYHUUaq8e8
350Please respect copyright.PENANAgRBHL5jt84
350Please respect copyright.PENANAT6VoklD4RZ
Katherine: Yes, because I'm also getting bored here in my grandfather's mansion. I also want to feel new environment.

Alright, alright. I'll let you know later what time we'll meet. Uh, wait! Can I just come to your place instead?
350Please respect copyright.PENANAlosGfCqKKR
350Please respect copyright.PENANAmxQDvpjEBm

350Please respect copyright.PENANAw9HWZVZ6cY
350Please respect copyright.PENANA0Jc17WYyN6
Alright, I'll also inform Rian and my bodyguards about this so they can prepare.
350Please respect copyright.PENANA6AisVYHxtm

Yeah, see you tomorrow!
350Please respect copyright.PENANAqWkEJR1Nsm
350Please respect copyright.PENANAaycmwAVSH2
350Please respect copyright.PENANAJL67SDY2vv
After their conversation, Katherine immediately went to Arianne to tell her about the conversation she had with Denzel.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAPuxTMbtIlJ
350Please respect copyright.PENANAXgOtvwPq42
350Please respect copyright.PENANAs2oYLTlcIP
"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?"
350Please respect copyright.PENANAmcibHsgzar
350Please respect copyright.PENANARdsZJEkgfY
350Please respect copyright.PENANA456AY8qBuO
"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.
350Please respect copyright.PENANA3D0AZifngH
350Please respect copyright.PENANAFBIpZM4A5K
350Please respect copyright.PENANAZGHVjCoFfR
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.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAHml7kyPdt5
350Please respect copyright.PENANAPmRCdMh8Ky
350Please respect copyright.PENANAYzHk8DN1hs
"Ah!" she got startled by what she saw, so he quickly composed herself.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAHenzcFngrz
350Please respect copyright.PENANAMCWDspv2Uj
350Please respect copyright.PENANAw6ILitJ1DB
"Just a moment, let me change," Gabriel replied with embarassment.
350Please respect copyright.PENANApeBBLowJQ7
350Please respect copyright.PENANAgcWElHR42x
350Please respect copyright.PENANAEFckjnHSoa
He quickly went back inside to change his clothes.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAT4H8qFr6w9
350Please respect copyright.PENANAvI5yKoR81Y
350Please respect copyright.PENANAHZ2CxlkXIC
"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.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAKpChAbid4W
350Please respect copyright.PENANAICfZmwNfgy
350Please respect copyright.PENANA8NV5FsdR8L
"Why did you come here?" Gabriel asked.
350Please respect copyright.PENANATEPcKM1RAM
350Please respect copyright.PENANABzMsSApJ2d
350Please respect copyright.PENANAX4h6afNVdV
"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."
350Please respect copyright.PENANA5zT87zAMvv
350Please respect copyright.PENANAI7pxSh6lTE
350Please respect copyright.PENANAHaIfuWEtvc
Katherine put up a convincing act. She even added a little playfulness at the end to persuade Gabriel.
350Please respect copyright.PENANA1PLARXPfKW
350Please respect copyright.PENANA2rdhtzhFmN
350Please respect copyright.PENANAoq9keAUf79
It took a few seconds before the guy answered, "Why is the plan so sudden?"
350Please respect copyright.PENANAc0gX8UbcOB
350Please respect copyright.PENANAe3L8ATmAcG
350Please respect copyright.PENANAJsTG8EHNBJ
"I just thought of it earlier," Katherine reasoned while looking straight at him.
350Please respect copyright.PENANA6olbXua8Kc
350Please respect copyright.PENANAf802oYUQSN
350Please respect copyright.PENANA8RqP12CkA0
"Okay, fine. I agree to go for an outing tomorrow," Gabriel replied with a certainty.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAouMo7LESk1
350Please respect copyright.PENANAyo0eAbSeqK
350Please respect copyright.PENANAykbV2ncHiu
There's nothing probably in granting Katherine's request, even if it's just once. He felt some pity for the girl.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAHYNFmnRUJX
350Please respect copyright.PENANAzA3lsXzkox
350Please respect copyright.PENANAmLglCDI7cP
"Thank you for agreeing," Katherine's smile widened at Gabriel's consent.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAzM9hATsiDR
350Please respect copyright.PENANADi32aawB0M
350Please respect copyright.PENANAKpYAV3nyo1
He simply smiled back at the girl and went back to his room.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAKekLEtnpys
350Please respect copyright.PENANAwHfY9hWW4t
350Please respect copyright.PENANACCbkNrLRvi
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.
350Please respect copyright.PENANAt95l50LnnD
350Please respect copyright.PENANAArAjnUkmgL
