Suddenly, Katherine heard a familiar voice from a distance.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAKBueCgZE1W
208Please respect copyright.PENANAoCbT7Hk6pm
"Hey, Miss Yuzon! Long time no see."
208Please respect copyright.PENANAzmZfKMoRVv
208Please respect copyright.PENANA12Mdda5Sgq
208Please respect copyright.PENANAvy9Iqxi6kx
As she turned around, it surprised her of what she saw. "Haze?”
208Please respect copyright.PENANAqC9raasqUG
208Please respect copyright.PENANAsYRzdJfzcG
208Please respect copyright.PENANAsJSxzA3Xme
"Oh, come on. Can you just call me Denzel, please? We've graduated from college already," he complained.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAWXjNdyelWL
208Please respect copyright.PENANAqV04LWVvyx
208Please respect copyright.PENANAhNjdmaZsZv
“How long have you known each other?” Arianne interrupted as she noticed the closeness of the two.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAFCoZgOrQIz
208Please respect copyright.PENANAEWJ8sYIbGV
208Please respect copyright.PENANAOLLnjgSPkJ
"Yes!" Denzel replied with enthusiasm, turning back to Katherine.
208Please respect copyright.PENANA6SjRiPs40J
208Please respect copyright.PENANAp3dGpy9KMJ
208Please respect copyright.PENANAAEXuUMRJ58
"That's why I saw you became very close," Arianne, stating of what she have observed from the two in front of her.
208Please respect copyright.PENANA4nCnFqv5qu
208Please respect copyright.PENANA1thtTlf0Hq
208Please respect copyright.PENANAKsY9Aw7pR7
Denzel is just laughed. “How are you two related, anyway?"
208Please respect copyright.PENANA1RcpsejvLM
208Please respect copyright.PENANA4YpuQPNTpp
208Please respect copyright.PENANAe6OI5g24Xw
"We're first degree cousins," Katherine responded to the guy.
208Please respect copyright.PENANATVqiVS9HJT
208Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6VuuWWl2L
208Please respect copyright.PENANAPJgrLv9o06
Denzel shook hands with Katherine's cousin. "Nice to meet you, Arianne."
208Please respect copyright.PENANAMPVk3Fs9Sk
208Please respect copyright.PENANAifEFwKCAPn
208Please respect copyright.PENANAaIlnIy6dM9
"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.
208Please respect copyright.PENANA8wVY7gXk0e
208Please respect copyright.PENANAk4FoWHfJed
208Please respect copyright.PENANAlKX9OzrLSi
The guy turned his attention back to Katherine.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAT1D8MEvHzB
208Please respect copyright.PENANAkTjxiz0Ggi
208Please respect copyright.PENANAdcDPzQlKJi
"Okay! Why are you here, anyway?" she asked to change the flow of conversation.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAgd0WTEUhQm
208Please respect copyright.PENANABYylfuyEGQ
208Please respect copyright.PENANAfW1wmKTCIZ

208Please respect copyright.PENANAvAbtVHl3th
208Please respect copyright.PENANAw0DbLRdZwN
208Please respect copyright.PENANATrtkULwel3
"I do not know since we haven't talked in a long time, eh," Katherine answered.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAYbGuYreE3F
208Please respect copyright.PENANArTp9IuGmEv
208Please respect copyright.PENANAczWxA4L60E
After graduation, they went on their separate ways and didn't keep in touch, even on social media. Their lives had become more busy.
208Please respect copyright.PENANASyBmycyVcE
208Please respect copyright.PENANAeeyEbWSRLG
208Please respect copyright.PENANAsV1SF1SySm
One smile lingered on the guy's face.. "Well, I'm here for the award."
208Please respect copyright.PENANA1SOJeVd5Yd
208Please respect copyright.PENANA8w9NtGICgp
208Please respect copyright.PENANA4n3CrbjlwF
Katherine's gaze shifted between Arianne and the guy.. "Don't tell me you-"
208Please respect copyright.PENANArC7Tnh2tLh
208Please respect copyright.PENANAWnRU6zTukB
208Please respect copyright.PENANAaDOUaNz2Mf
"I won an award for being one of the best recording artists this year," Denzel said, cutting her off.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAkSsRu501lN
208Please respect copyright.PENANA5dEkKUKX1V
208Please respect copyright.PENANAqJhy6KU5bq
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.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAZQBo9V7Nx5
208Please respect copyright.PENANATk1ZFBZigT
208Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4GqQvMeFn
"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?"
208Please respect copyright.PENANAjBdswJF4Fs
208Please respect copyright.PENANAfVQ6DKGAzb
208Please respect copyright.PENANA1XVSEiTQb9
"I received an award too, for being a best-selling author," she said directly, causing the guy to furrow his brow in surprise.
208Please respect copyright.PENANA5GCG0pd6KY
208Please respect copyright.PENANAKcdwMmYbG3
208Please respect copyright.PENANAmMUEOureqq
"Really?" Denzel asked. "I didn't know you desired for writing too. I only knew you liked only singing like me."
208Please respect copyright.PENANAjMFVTsLJ8P
208Please respect copyright.PENANA7Dl6VbDIwL
208Please respect copyright.PENANAr6uKGtfOco
"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."
208Please respect copyright.PENANAjIVlF1AEHX
208Please respect copyright.PENANAmhTvIkVnVa
208Please respect copyright.PENANAMRLULgeul6
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.
208Please respect copyright.PENANANnZQMUxDHG
208Please respect copyright.PENANA3wBU0aNS0k
208Please respect copyright.PENANAD33p9dgtF6
"But you still singing?" asked the guy.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAmYo58FpSzl
208Please respect copyright.PENANAN7OUL1SxA8
208Please respect copyright.PENANAV8n5gvQhmi
"No, I'm more focused on the novels I write, so my voice isn't used for singing anymore," she stated.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAAG9SqNIWcr
208Please respect copyright.PENANAFc0isjsLg1
208Please respect copyright.PENANACCjvc9gyrz
"It's a shame because you had a beautiful voice back then, but I will support you in your writing career."
208Please respect copyright.PENANAb1PAvaZuJc
208Please respect copyright.PENANAxAV5dCIayH
208Please respect copyright.PENANAXU0cEkgIsU
The girl smiled. "Thank you, and I will also support your music career."
208Please respect copyright.PENANAonTIIuEoav
208Please respect copyright.PENANAJvs2uFeqdb
208Please respect copyright.PENANAnaMzJFlMLR
"Anyway, are you going home now?" the guy asking Katherine.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAqNP2hta3ZX
208Please respect copyright.PENANAyPQRzcGIVb
208Please respect copyright.PENANAtcrFgGLBTc
"Yes, why?" she responded.
208Please respect copyright.PENANASjFnDUwuo5
208Please respect copyright.PENANAV62w5bnFDt
208Please respect copyright.PENANAMFMluRtjc3
"Don't go yet, because I want to invite you both for a meal outside. My treat!"
208Please respect copyright.PENANARd14QPCzQM
208Please respect copyright.PENANAy3FBLZxbwe
208Please respect copyright.PENANAPiWyEOqkIf
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.
208Please respect copyright.PENANADj8Eb5un4F
208Please respect copyright.PENANA4yn0DzMqB8
208Please respect copyright.PENANAB2bsHDarbA
"Sure, but can you please wait for a second? I need to inform them first," Katherine said.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAhRZ4mQwyWx
208Please respect copyright.PENANApeIhLnZfRR
208Please respect copyright.PENANAd53NT5iih8
"Who?" Denzel asked with a puzzlement.
208Please respect copyright.PENANA2voGqSjZOz
208Please respect copyright.PENANAbDHIJlryZh
208Please respect copyright.PENANARsMr2ByRZR
"My personal bodyguards," as Katherine hesitantly mentioned them to Denzel.
208Please respect copyright.PENANA8D4cpBtVfq
208Please respect copyright.PENANAt5Mh0nuPBY
208Please respect copyright.PENANAUMVNCeEiTN
He grinned at her statement, "For real? I didn't expect that you have bodyguards now."
208Please respect copyright.PENANANacbtIliVn
208Please respect copyright.PENANAY5cwwkRrJX
208Please respect copyright.PENANAntyMzBAwpk
"What else do you think? It's my grandfather's preference," Katherine replied.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAdV8wt45qvy
208Please respect copyright.PENANA6Q2sabDODy
208Please respect copyright.PENANASfnfmpwY1n
"It's so tough when there's someone seems beautiful like you," Denzel teased.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAbq3ZHAUl1i
208Please respect copyright.PENANAVwOFr0jGBQ
208Please respect copyright.PENANANfb0WVPdMv
"Tzk, whatever, Haze," Katherine reacted with a sigh. "Well, just stay here. I have to talk to them first."
208Please respect copyright.PENANA5bvJm1qsT4
208Please respect copyright.PENANAsrBvyT2DmH
208Please respect copyright.PENANAC4UuO6A3k8
"Sure," Denzel replied while looking at the direction Katherine was heading.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAkYDtKNuSDE
208Please respect copyright.PENANAiyd9rPdm3t
208Please respect copyright.PENANAJV6YEgBncb
Their conversation didn't last long as the guy had somewhere else to go. They just quickly returned to the mansion.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAQjbtT5oOHW
208Please respect copyright.PENANAhMxay31SDF
208Please respect copyright.PENANAknEPQbUP5D
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.
208Please respect copyright.PENANA4yrTYfEN0G
208Please respect copyright.PENANAgOeX24ROYc
208Please respect copyright.PENANACNLZfya07t
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.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAhndpiJJlpV
208Please respect copyright.PENANAP3bvEfY2Kd
208Please respect copyright.PENANAjhlrLMQTQU
"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.
208Please respect copyright.PENANA4BJaTpK7ci
208Please respect copyright.PENANAdZ84F4QBTN
208Please respect copyright.PENANAgNFbcn3LYB
Katherine turned a page before speaking again, "Who?"
208Please respect copyright.PENANA7fLzZGzEKD
208Please respect copyright.PENANAmc6VFRjIT2
208Please respect copyright.PENANAfv5hADzDlT
"The guy you were with Arianne." the guy replied.
208Please respect copyright.PENANA6cHJvLpDdz
208Please respect copyright.PENANANcIkGfvbeK
208Please respect copyright.PENANAca5ZdLhzQN
"Uhh, Haze. What about him?"
208Please respect copyright.PENANAXAGFRcjDo5
208Please respect copyright.PENANAq3zzisF0mB
208Please respect copyright.PENANAX8RSj7jL1l
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.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAvBZ8gdPNTp
208Please respect copyright.PENANANVS4qoKiou
208Please respect copyright.PENANATqugWfYvbd
"I just want to know if you've known each other for a long time or if you just met today."
208Please respect copyright.PENANAnflThjIGJq
208Please respect copyright.PENANAk9kngzwBRa
208Please respect copyright.PENANAh3tK8S5Xiw
"Haze and I have known each other for a long time. We're old friends from college."
208Please respect copyright.PENANAcv8ZbxKmx8
208Please respect copyright.PENANAXypxjzmZU3
208Please respect copyright.PENANAS15T3ReQ2H
Gabriel furrowed his brow, analyzing every word that Katherine will say.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAxSAqGt5CPZ
208Please respect copyright.PENANAillHZF0MB8
208Please respect copyright.PENANApEDaxpKtgz
"Really?"
208Please respect copyright.PENANAjdcr0ZAM9R
208Please respect copyright.PENANA44oTzUPLeN
208Please respect copyright.PENANAqsTTP8uLlC
The girl paused reading and faced Gabriel. "We just haven't talked much after college. We had our own lives and became more busy."
208Please respect copyright.PENANAt28oBxwztx
208Please respect copyright.PENANAnN1M481V5p
208Please respect copyright.PENANAZyRpQ7oBqO
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.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAdNiuR5KNUd
208Please respect copyright.PENANADhbrivla74
208Please respect copyright.PENANAMkPiKYVS1M
"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.
208Please respect copyright.PENANA44GvHJ6CGt
208Please respect copyright.PENANAtrG8XKGhGL
208Please respect copyright.PENANAKv9o1kX74q
"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.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAdLPxm6n1kW
208Please respect copyright.PENANAx3nN087I7A
208Please respect copyright.PENANAUUGoabE0Ol
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.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAtOFRD9XHCT
208Please respect copyright.PENANAzx2osHORL5
208Please respect copyright.PENANA9Xm47feiMR
"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."
208Please respect copyright.PENANAbSNlW3UNjV
208Please respect copyright.PENANA0g4YHDaLwm
208Please respect copyright.PENANAOlNYYF5iQJ
"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."
208Please respect copyright.PENANAfRdnWcZhTa
208Please respect copyright.PENANAnrE1WDVx6o
208Please respect copyright.PENANAw4GISWQf4L
After that, Katherine took the lead. She stood up and went back to where she had left her book.
208Please respect copyright.PENANA51j8ATj1gZ
208Please respect copyright.PENANAT2Nxmt3tbM
208Please respect copyright.PENANAAWSdt1XPM3
"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."
208Please respect copyright.PENANAbD81muQabi
208Please respect copyright.PENANAH0aeqMc1Ve
208Please respect copyright.PENANAswEcedcowK
Katherine still annoyed when she walked away. She didn't want to argue with Gabriel anymore. It would lead nowhere.
208Please respect copyright.PENANATQqrHjwyLU
208Please respect copyright.PENANAx2qXr8oB6R
208Please respect copyright.PENANAHqieiXowJS
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.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAig4UtJrVXq
208Please respect copyright.PENANAbufkfHJK6M

208Please respect copyright.PENANAcuCFx5K8s1
208Please respect copyright.PENANAIWQc5w1DBA

Yeah, see you tomorrow!
208Please respect copyright.PENANAaYPZbvuMKz
208Please respect copyright.PENANAsXDyLb33xg
208Please respect copyright.PENANAD2ix41Ih2T
After their conversation, Katherine immediately went to Arianne to tell her about the conversation she had with Denzel.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAwq1wIKBSSn
208Please respect copyright.PENANA66akV4oDop
208Please respect copyright.PENANAZZpD2t44a9
"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?"
208Please respect copyright.PENANAq7qOC1B3Wa
208Please respect copyright.PENANAQjcZYQ2EIh
208Please respect copyright.PENANALbXKQOtu8B
"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.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAVZJp29Mh9L
208Please respect copyright.PENANA1loX1SwsWP
208Please respect copyright.PENANARRxMyjIou7
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.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAdVo4K1V5QR
208Please respect copyright.PENANAP0RbeyxbtJ
208Please respect copyright.PENANA0M6kpkmzgF
"Ah!" she got startled by what she saw, so he quickly composed herself.
208Please respect copyright.PENANA0H0Iu4yqtv
208Please respect copyright.PENANAI5oMwjpA2C
208Please respect copyright.PENANAq9HlvLVwuz
"Just a moment, let me change," Gabriel replied with embarassment.
208Please respect copyright.PENANArBBDhsbnGn
208Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6Wgu94jXv
208Please respect copyright.PENANAd0RjkqMEzC
He quickly went back inside to change his clothes.
208Please respect copyright.PENANA7aBmw3lzgN
208Please respect copyright.PENANAhuMyH1w4Z1
208Please respect copyright.PENANAGRCNqtcZ35
"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.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAkXmqBqKXEZ
208Please respect copyright.PENANA7SBhnHJMwG
208Please respect copyright.PENANAFmm7LSJMED
"Why did you come here?" Gabriel asked.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAzmwLrIYpsC
208Please respect copyright.PENANAwZCdoQUwoG
208Please respect copyright.PENANABH7HkY2W7n
"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."
208Please respect copyright.PENANA9mH6c6W2Vk
208Please respect copyright.PENANA6Fq0qGlyTD
208Please respect copyright.PENANA2KMFwlbW1k
Katherine put up a convincing act. She even added a little playfulness at the end to persuade Gabriel.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAXZnWMSugWK
208Please respect copyright.PENANApTgbCpV6Qj
208Please respect copyright.PENANA8uoIcFREWt
It took a few seconds before the guy answered, "Why is the plan so sudden?"
208Please respect copyright.PENANAzKaoxhOIop
208Please respect copyright.PENANAlpBgF3r2T1
208Please respect copyright.PENANAtlaYuxLcmH
"I just thought of it earlier," Katherine reasoned while looking straight at him.
208Please respect copyright.PENANArcWrQyewuC
208Please respect copyright.PENANAKXg2UYdhD4
208Please respect copyright.PENANAwYz92hzmY7
"Okay, fine. I agree to go for an outing tomorrow," Gabriel replied with a certainty.
208Please respect copyright.PENANADYtmqrfRkX
208Please respect copyright.PENANALMMQXZiSeB
208Please respect copyright.PENANANsPsvDsvpt
There's nothing probably in granting Katherine's request, even if it's just once. He felt some pity for the girl.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAQjej5wajkC
208Please respect copyright.PENANAxinE3CtpJy
208Please respect copyright.PENANAZpvdjZcLyB
"Thank you for agreeing," Katherine's smile widened at Gabriel's consent.
208Please respect copyright.PENANACn8ChH8KWS
208Please respect copyright.PENANAdGwlzjAuCw
208Please respect copyright.PENANARCwYqdcSJe

208Please respect copyright.PENANAcSHxD9EalM
208Please respect copyright.PENANAr1g0GxVjJ4
208Please respect copyright.PENANACJPUciicVd
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.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAmsFCX7SoVp
208Please respect copyright.PENANAeBavJPQys8
