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

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.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.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

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.

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.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.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.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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJcPmBq2K6

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."

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.

He was only doing this now to accommodate Katherine, and after that, there would be nothing more. He didn't need to give in to pity and sympathy because it would only lead to failure in helping his family. The income he earned from this job was much greater than his previous which was more difficult and also put his life at risk.
