311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatMNUHkdkt
"Oh, come on. Can you just call me Denzel, please? We've graduated from college already," he complained.

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs92Off7cRk
"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.

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0tcQ5M0rC
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVy0jWzGrf
After graduation, they went on their separate ways and didn't keep in touch, even on social media. Their lives had become more busy.
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXLdUL7Efu
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9QtSBkbDp

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqYji6q2RE
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.

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0tXF9pLIU
"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?"
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgadxc85UrZ
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zb07M3PWS

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nzR71j6wB
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Kjf9suHmO

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.
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemqFNrn9dh
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ7uBGYNRH
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7Ou9jNlMy
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.

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TZFEbJPJJ
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLogUtnbhFl
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.

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip4KmMJ2Q5
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTBiIlRTsL
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MBE3MZbqX
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.

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuDNZB5v5Z

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq52lBJe4uF
"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.
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcDSVAX9JW
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QYyOOUKMf

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYIBUhDPho
"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.
