Suddenly, Katherine heard a familiar voice from a distance.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA0DUdQ6JInS
163Please respect copyright.PENANAx8uznpJdOa
"Hey, Miss Yuzon! Long time no see."
163Please respect copyright.PENANAPvntwuCNR6
163Please respect copyright.PENANADOgOayMGE2
163Please respect copyright.PENANAQNpt2DpIzT
As she turned around, it surprised her of what she saw. "Haze?”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAaK7pKX3UXH
163Please respect copyright.PENANADRo9CtS6M5
163Please respect copyright.PENANAfkeZdA1dzJ
"Oh, come on. Can you just call me Denzel, please? We've graduated from college already," he complained.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAlCGusmQ50K
163Please respect copyright.PENANA4pFXhk4t9K
163Please respect copyright.PENANAD8JjBmZtVC
“How long have you known each other?” Arianne interrupted as she noticed the closeness of the two.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAxLiTIHtPuk
163Please respect copyright.PENANA566KXGOiAV
163Please respect copyright.PENANA0FPAoteUN3
"Yes!" Denzel replied with enthusiasm, turning back to Katherine.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAvXgMoivgyN
163Please respect copyright.PENANAFrPqTd7EFr
163Please respect copyright.PENANAkRGYIwYROV
"That's why I saw you became very close," Arianne, stating of what she have observed from the two in front of her.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAHKgolTrKyv
163Please respect copyright.PENANAiVB1z51BzB
163Please respect copyright.PENANApIYXlM0zj3
Denzel is just laughed. “How are you two related, anyway?"
163Please respect copyright.PENANA7EUPrrjiKJ
163Please respect copyright.PENANA4y6PejNtoM
163Please respect copyright.PENANAiksahEc0RW
"We're first degree cousins," Katherine responded to the guy.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAg0H1xCRlHJ
163Please respect copyright.PENANAzyaBjmVGUY
163Please respect copyright.PENANAS6iV0lEb60
Denzel shook hands with Katherine's cousin. "Nice to meet you, Arianne."
163Please respect copyright.PENANAYm5zFYf7oE
163Please respect copyright.PENANAXx6vWCBkWQ
163Please respect copyright.PENANAHKrJ4FN5Yb
"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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAzbOhDgTSRS
163Please respect copyright.PENANAXU5vfK8eiF
163Please respect copyright.PENANAJl2wkek5Sv
The guy turned his attention back to Katherine.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAbvI58rWm93
163Please respect copyright.PENANAXv5Jg26hZB
163Please respect copyright.PENANAk1zuWXe0Ng
"Okay! Why are you here, anyway?" she asked to change the flow of conversation.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAwU37Gl72Kl
163Please respect copyright.PENANADCgcphRuE9
163Please respect copyright.PENANA35poYjP0kV
"Wanna guest?" A guy smiling as he was making questions.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAAH000t3RkQ
163Please respect copyright.PENANAWZZYNlILlK
163Please respect copyright.PENANAgjpEKgcqIr
"I do not know since we haven't talked in a long time, eh," Katherine answered.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAE7pjIuDOvb
163Please respect copyright.PENANA2nQWBfoFOS
163Please respect copyright.PENANA1NyKbPVWG5
After graduation, they went on their separate ways and didn't keep in touch, even on social media. Their lives had become more busy.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAjS2gmYPV2x
163Please respect copyright.PENANAnLA4jdbLdi
163Please respect copyright.PENANA6li75pGObj
One smile lingered on the guy's face.. "Well, I'm here for the award."
163Please respect copyright.PENANA5uV7NtValk
163Please respect copyright.PENANAqfwqbFGJ7L
163Please respect copyright.PENANAT1mDr7vu3C
Katherine's gaze shifted between Arianne and the guy.. "Don't tell me you-"
163Please respect copyright.PENANAc0PH91lzgP
163Please respect copyright.PENANA9BDXeKw6g9
163Please respect copyright.PENANAsrR79s5L07
"I won an award for being one of the best recording artists this year," Denzel said, cutting her off.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAPQg4eT93Hz
163Please respect copyright.PENANAcdGelCwIpl
163Please respect copyright.PENANAT6h6wD6htz
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAr3hpH3T8Qe
163Please respect copyright.PENANAx5Lf27nV9z
163Please respect copyright.PENANAsSFHc4xDwk
"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?"
163Please respect copyright.PENANAS2UROzScFg
163Please respect copyright.PENANAgB6ZvdK4Qn
163Please respect copyright.PENANAltNwYZtzqP
"I received an award too, for being a best-selling author," she said directly, causing the guy to furrow his brow in surprise.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAYRoLltEg7S
163Please respect copyright.PENANAygQcffqEh1
163Please respect copyright.PENANA2ujRdCK1fw
"Really?" Denzel asked. "I didn't know you desired for writing too. I only knew you liked only singing like me."
163Please respect copyright.PENANApuIbwkRQry
163Please respect copyright.PENANA5GSTLt8kFk
163Please respect copyright.PENANAbRFYAIQltu
"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."
163Please respect copyright.PENANAY0CON1CL6x
163Please respect copyright.PENANAx0fKOPSOJi
163Please respect copyright.PENANA3SO7devp2u
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAtGY2xDaX2h
163Please respect copyright.PENANAtJQ6vrHHAD
163Please respect copyright.PENANA0XioPE7S5j
"But you still singing?" asked the guy.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAKZ46gSMqu1
163Please respect copyright.PENANA1JN8r0H4yA
163Please respect copyright.PENANAUUgSXdhOrw
"No, I'm more focused on the novels I write, so my voice isn't used for singing anymore," she stated.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAFLQsTS16QK
163Please respect copyright.PENANAScHrIbWkNK
163Please respect copyright.PENANARAdUAa2yVv
"It's a shame because you had a beautiful voice back then, but I will support you in your writing career."
163Please respect copyright.PENANA9pUsgOJHKC
163Please respect copyright.PENANA336G0ZjE0h
163Please respect copyright.PENANAcCKOlTlaUl
The girl smiled. "Thank you, and I will also support your music career."
163Please respect copyright.PENANAsKJc9b7JT2
163Please respect copyright.PENANAyv0K5Wy0LY
163Please respect copyright.PENANA65JsKMESmT
"Anyway, are you going home now?" the guy asking Katherine.
163Please respect copyright.PENANATMPsbHiti7
163Please respect copyright.PENANAp9K3EcMegM
163Please respect copyright.PENANAg7ddFwtmvk
"Yes, why?" she responded.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAFXgDfsRGmR
163Please respect copyright.PENANA6WAKW0kWKT
163Please respect copyright.PENANAhe952bbsW0
"Don't go yet, because I want to invite you both for a meal outside. My treat!"
163Please respect copyright.PENANAKpp9XQdRck
163Please respect copyright.PENANATunylHArls
163Please respect copyright.PENANAeGBEo7VY75
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANANzkghjMQe2
163Please respect copyright.PENANADfl2oQXjjF
163Please respect copyright.PENANAPtjyNFYmwQ
"Sure, but can you please wait for a second? I need to inform them first," Katherine said.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAlRyNJYHAYV
163Please respect copyright.PENANAuEVbQ8esUY
163Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1sn67tgrg
"Who?" Denzel asked with a puzzlement.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAVUUstanHRW
163Please respect copyright.PENANAQSv2uKBG4N
163Please respect copyright.PENANAkU8KGI3x3L
"My personal bodyguards," as Katherine hesitantly mentioned them to Denzel.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA8UYcmXiGw2
163Please respect copyright.PENANALU4HrMSoMv
163Please respect copyright.PENANA0MxlqoyavH
He grinned at her statement, "For real? I didn't expect that you have bodyguards now."
163Please respect copyright.PENANAap6TZPVLha
163Please respect copyright.PENANAIGsyvJBKMV
163Please respect copyright.PENANAx8dGMLp7NH
"What else do you think? It's my grandfather's preference," Katherine replied.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAeggU5XdEvr
163Please respect copyright.PENANAI1kRJ4U9sD
163Please respect copyright.PENANARZ3hKkha0n
"It's so tough when there's someone seems beautiful like you," Denzel teased.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAvx9HTYvypH
163Please respect copyright.PENANARoKlCcsIpu
163Please respect copyright.PENANACuX6E0vOt3
"Tzk, whatever, Haze," Katherine reacted with a sigh. "Well, just stay here. I have to talk to them first."
163Please respect copyright.PENANAeRUGu1jEQR
163Please respect copyright.PENANA2OFI1PaRw6
163Please respect copyright.PENANAiG1WdPqcrR
"Sure," Denzel replied while looking at the direction Katherine was heading.
163Please respect copyright.PENANArgPWrn0BiX
163Please respect copyright.PENANADDV5uEMmC3
163Please respect copyright.PENANADkgvGx18TT
Their conversation didn't last long as the guy had somewhere else to go. They just quickly returned to the mansion.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAm0mMPtJWsf
163Please respect copyright.PENANAr3I0PE47Hy
163Please respect copyright.PENANAypcgCgvCgM
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAwjyK0MUe7K
163Please respect copyright.PENANA6v3qAkgzUl
163Please respect copyright.PENANAmRuIoKFmBF
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAJwDGmMWboE
163Please respect copyright.PENANA8JkOto4eBv
163Please respect copyright.PENANAZuHXRjC23n
"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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAH7J258nKpD
163Please respect copyright.PENANAwmCfPHUsYk
163Please respect copyright.PENANA2hL9Lc5zgb
Katherine turned a page before speaking again, "Who?"
163Please respect copyright.PENANADBLvQWUpau
163Please respect copyright.PENANAV5X1vW8JyE
163Please respect copyright.PENANAGCRL9A0oZd
"The guy you were with Arianne." the guy replied.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAQ84OtBddPG
163Please respect copyright.PENANACKZfgXT7Bq
163Please respect copyright.PENANApI91IhwFr8
"Uhh, Haze. What about him?"
163Please respect copyright.PENANA4QYBra0qu4
163Please respect copyright.PENANALXH9n7j1i8
163Please respect copyright.PENANAaOkXMwEENt
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAaumS3Dtmpx
163Please respect copyright.PENANAl5o7AJZG6r
163Please respect copyright.PENANAX3YGypcF7O
"I just want to know if you've known each other for a long time or if you just met today."
163Please respect copyright.PENANAUEg88Xj2vD
163Please respect copyright.PENANA5AGiP3LKra
163Please respect copyright.PENANAD5dzNFDrR1
"Haze and I have known each other for a long time. We're old friends from college."
163Please respect copyright.PENANAwWpJZTxw05
163Please respect copyright.PENANANmEqpkYzpy
163Please respect copyright.PENANAZtbLI1Jh5V
Gabriel furrowed his brow, analyzing every word that Katherine will say.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAtAqvGV6tSC
163Please respect copyright.PENANAg3EUeUFeo4
163Please respect copyright.PENANAdZ8LPDzbrN
"Really?"
163Please respect copyright.PENANAm6rlipdWEc
163Please respect copyright.PENANAFdfNsYHY4W
163Please respect copyright.PENANA4BznKdrXAV
The girl paused reading and faced Gabriel. "We just haven't talked much after college. We had our own lives and became more busy."
163Please respect copyright.PENANAf3DitA99lN
163Please respect copyright.PENANAYN8Qo5M80P
163Please respect copyright.PENANA2bZVmAeyC5
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAitoPSUVr38
163Please respect copyright.PENANACDrKDB73BU
163Please respect copyright.PENANACCAmYCXSQB
"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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAMYlnOep3yC
163Please respect copyright.PENANAiF8JsTiHjK
163Please respect copyright.PENANA8VJbzksipn
"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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAxJhjAqbT55
163Please respect copyright.PENANAsfD1KEgY6D
163Please respect copyright.PENANA8qYZMRdhEP
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAfLkEXoSVfL
163Please respect copyright.PENANAQHL31012H0
163Please respect copyright.PENANAIOhEc0Pnpu
"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."
163Please respect copyright.PENANASS7zmYp8c4
163Please respect copyright.PENANAPlT96TtFbR
163Please respect copyright.PENANAACBOiB247G
"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."
163Please respect copyright.PENANAYhKj9TDIqm
163Please respect copyright.PENANAE2nc7b8rlA
163Please respect copyright.PENANAAcGlOWFLCr
After that, Katherine took the lead. She stood up and went back to where she had left her book.
163Please respect copyright.PENANApYokw7Y2xT
163Please respect copyright.PENANAVQqkTDQNKf
163Please respect copyright.PENANA8ylTlKIjda
"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."
163Please respect copyright.PENANAM5ne4IKNTq
163Please respect copyright.PENANALoYBYophVk
163Please respect copyright.PENANApTxj6MvhQp
Katherine still annoyed when she walked away. She didn't want to argue with Gabriel anymore. It would lead nowhere.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAYAeiWYkV7M
163Please respect copyright.PENANAm7ff7wn6Es
163Please respect copyright.PENANAZs8OEZtGwG
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANADKjyxOnAyU
163Please respect copyright.PENANA8L6ZPCPZx4
163Please respect copyright.PENANALVxiooGQek

163Please respect copyright.PENANAgpHrYGZ7Ov
163Please respect copyright.PENANAj4uM4ig8wi
163Please respect copyright.PENANAz2mldT9CWb
Katherine: Yes, because I'm also getting bored here in my grandfather's mansion. I also want to feel new environment.

163Please respect copyright.PENANAzHh9uA3Z6y
163Please respect copyright.PENANAaApHXJPTXS
Alright, I'll also inform Rian and my bodyguards about this so they can prepare.

163Please respect copyright.PENANAeSIwj37z1x
163Please respect copyright.PENANAhwLgGRFwAl
163Please respect copyright.PENANAyHDVIa0U4N
After their conversation, Katherine immediately went to Arianne to tell her about the conversation she had with Denzel.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAjEDouW8aTU
163Please respect copyright.PENANAxB5gWaXrtk
163Please respect copyright.PENANAWEyPCDk9b4
"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?"
163Please respect copyright.PENANA64ChfJAIGK
163Please respect copyright.PENANADSA98aJsSm
163Please respect copyright.PENANAp9owizwUhu
"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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAsGH5ztjBOH
163Please respect copyright.PENANAnr9lStwRZB
163Please respect copyright.PENANAorJQtzHify
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAfMM5jOXJHI
163Please respect copyright.PENANAX3dqiaEiGN
163Please respect copyright.PENANAoHLXYKEaEK
"Ah!" she got startled by what she saw, so he quickly composed herself.
163Please respect copyright.PENANARoiB8W9Ddx
163Please respect copyright.PENANAbXp75zpD5R
163Please respect copyright.PENANAwocBcHQxdi
"Just a moment, let me change," Gabriel replied with embarassment.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAJrS1M0Hwar
163Please respect copyright.PENANAACDQH2DXLT
163Please respect copyright.PENANAfINii4MlaD
He quickly went back inside to change his clothes.
163Please respect copyright.PENANASM9V4KDtqX
163Please respect copyright.PENANAG7srgCN55r
163Please respect copyright.PENANAATjKxO9Uxc
"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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAjku9D18UUr
163Please respect copyright.PENANAjlXEmI8JKt
163Please respect copyright.PENANAF804pBI4dA
"Why did you come here?" Gabriel asked.
163Please respect copyright.PENANALnzEyD670M
163Please respect copyright.PENANA3zji3PhSka
163Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2sVq7stgZ
"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."
163Please respect copyright.PENANAG8TKNssydr
163Please respect copyright.PENANAyJaLf6SNMy
163Please respect copyright.PENANAcea2cU9QKV
Katherine put up a convincing act. She even added a little playfulness at the end to persuade Gabriel.
163Please respect copyright.PENANALigrl3F5O6
163Please respect copyright.PENANAcg0Zy1zkCJ
163Please respect copyright.PENANADqCRm2oxv5
It took a few seconds before the guy answered, "Why is the plan so sudden?"
163Please respect copyright.PENANApPV3geVYj8
163Please respect copyright.PENANAQKXmgIDiO1
163Please respect copyright.PENANASif3UTFgOE
"I just thought of it earlier," Katherine reasoned while looking straight at him.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAfeU9P36cAR
163Please respect copyright.PENANAZipNGdAP1Z
163Please respect copyright.PENANA0TscGVuSpq
"Okay, fine. I agree to go for an outing tomorrow," Gabriel replied with a certainty.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAGntJ1yCtk6
163Please respect copyright.PENANAVKv84uWnkP
163Please respect copyright.PENANAtWmxjSyCBS
There's nothing probably in granting Katherine's request, even if it's just once. He felt some pity for the girl.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAcBHz6778ws
163Please respect copyright.PENANAq6L7OkK4yc
163Please respect copyright.PENANAkrIJW8cDXe
"Thank you for agreeing," Katherine's smile widened at Gabriel's consent.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAdPfBLZFgtV
163Please respect copyright.PENANAMMGWsD5nVd
163Please respect copyright.PENANAAQMh7Pifsg

163Please respect copyright.PENANAt8KzIYeUVa
163Please respect copyright.PENANAMznn2yyuX9
163Please respect copyright.PENANANSWhEu5agc
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAjiTrhhk3hI
163Please respect copyright.PENANATPqUZZdhth
