Suddenly, Katherine heard a familiar voice from a distance.
311Please respect copyright.PENANA2SiEbBXqdI
311Please respect copyright.PENANAWh39L0vPTQ
"Hey, Miss Yuzon! Long time no see."
311Please respect copyright.PENANAilisPfEZ1g
311Please respect copyright.PENANAbg3JjePi0Q
311Please respect copyright.PENANAyyfIkMXQwY
As she turned around, it surprised her of what she saw. "Haze?”
311Please respect copyright.PENANAqipD9BdCJu
311Please respect copyright.PENANA1XL1FRACJl
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.PENANANHfY50HLSO
311Please respect copyright.PENANAuTsDTNORdp
311Please respect copyright.PENANAsBLeTzSYJT
“How long have you known each other?” Arianne interrupted as she noticed the closeness of the two.
311Please respect copyright.PENANA9zD9oUtWkS
311Please respect copyright.PENANA0EgHHDzt20
311Please respect copyright.PENANAF1rgKj84Al
"Yes!" Denzel replied with enthusiasm, turning back to Katherine.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAOS37l60XSH
311Please respect copyright.PENANA4AOVJZEexS
311Please respect copyright.PENANAOXGjaQN7jT
"That's why I saw you became very close," Arianne, stating of what she have observed from the two in front of her.
311Please respect copyright.PENANA9MotRk8HY2
311Please respect copyright.PENANA35V66oFFwt
311Please respect copyright.PENANAnNOlxPyOwB
Denzel is just laughed. “How are you two related, anyway?"
311Please respect copyright.PENANAuRaumVqVNS
311Please respect copyright.PENANA7GuoLoaq12
311Please respect copyright.PENANAZDSGqjZz0E
"We're first degree cousins," Katherine responded to the guy.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAoh4N2t5H4V
311Please respect copyright.PENANAc3svRbM78o
311Please respect copyright.PENANA0K7Q8UIRM0
Denzel shook hands with Katherine's cousin. "Nice to meet you, Arianne."
311Please respect copyright.PENANAj4B5Y6xJrp
311Please respect copyright.PENANAq0zvW85Mp0
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.PENANArgP6QUrBt5
311Please respect copyright.PENANA1qE3cU0Q32
311Please respect copyright.PENANAcXEqRuetol
The guy turned his attention back to Katherine.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAMFgcIiMMeq
311Please respect copyright.PENANACWamt39pwV
311Please respect copyright.PENANAGqFlrlt7t2
"Okay! Why are you here, anyway?" she asked to change the flow of conversation.
311Please respect copyright.PENANABLfVBTby4Q
311Please respect copyright.PENANAMeIknTPtKN
311Please respect copyright.PENANAtqZzKCS8Mu
"Wanna guest?" A guy smiling as he was making questions.
311Please respect copyright.PENANArygMTXAiZP
311Please respect copyright.PENANAHxwtCbLDZF
311Please respect copyright.PENANAtru65lcnIm
"I do not know since we haven't talked in a long time, eh," Katherine answered.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAcEa8u3RMNX
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.PENANA9KcQcwqDms
One smile lingered on the guy's face.. "Well, I'm here for the award."
311Please respect copyright.PENANA7BFUzbgMBw
311Please respect copyright.PENANAfv3Mb5Ql2Q
311Please respect copyright.PENANAg8pax5PSRi
Katherine's gaze shifted between Arianne and the guy.. "Don't tell me you-"
311Please respect copyright.PENANA90gusdLdj9
311Please respect copyright.PENANAHyXtzc8LqU
311Please respect copyright.PENANAGI2ZnKdGYc
"I won an award for being one of the best recording artists this year," Denzel said, cutting her off.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAZYauSRB1Zp
311Please respect copyright.PENANAMGhC4hwwMc
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.PENANA2ltfRThc8g
311Please respect copyright.PENANARXKtf2cYh9
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.PENANAHyD2WJc5xA
"I received an award too, for being a best-selling author," she said directly, causing the guy to furrow his brow in surprise.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAn8H3f466wX
311Please respect copyright.PENANARn23fbQRlT
311Please respect copyright.PENANAiThwBefg1Z
"Really?" Denzel asked. "I didn't know you desired for writing too. I only knew you liked only singing like me."
311Please respect copyright.PENANAnNlyOVUz6g
311Please respect copyright.PENANARHzaXH3OS8
311Please respect copyright.PENANAMZgQK4ZTHg
"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."
311Please respect copyright.PENANAt4PGUJnZSd
311Please respect copyright.PENANAZskiKsC63W
311Please respect copyright.PENANA0IQBwyxFEi
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.
311Please respect copyright.PENANA2x358nLhNs
311Please respect copyright.PENANAVAzm0Bygfv
311Please respect copyright.PENANAbg1X4nTzbm
"But you still singing?" asked the guy.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAP3cvsxhNWA
311Please respect copyright.PENANAapXgOkD11w
311Please respect copyright.PENANAHrKtKk2pFI
"No, I'm more focused on the novels I write, so my voice isn't used for singing anymore," she stated.
311Please respect copyright.PENANA4Nzu4oKUVG
311Please respect copyright.PENANAZM3wStBp41
311Please respect copyright.PENANA3LnCe7gmrJ
"It's a shame because you had a beautiful voice back then, but I will support you in your writing career."
311Please respect copyright.PENANAWLrpOUv9CT
311Please respect copyright.PENANAkLdFlEM0mL
311Please respect copyright.PENANA76zg81Ud5G
The girl smiled. "Thank you, and I will also support your music career."
311Please respect copyright.PENANAXkZhw63QyH
311Please respect copyright.PENANAMrmf9BlBg5
311Please respect copyright.PENANAJYpJhw1dxy
"Anyway, are you going home now?" the guy asking Katherine.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAzGtFz6y8Z8
311Please respect copyright.PENANAgZs4D7Qvzi
311Please respect copyright.PENANADu9n2MPVPN
"Yes, why?" she responded.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAMi4DcYsWG7
311Please respect copyright.PENANAFMTiUcdWl8
311Please respect copyright.PENANAP2T4zJqcJ8
"Don't go yet, because I want to invite you both for a meal outside. My treat!"
311Please respect copyright.PENANAJ58it6kLUy
311Please respect copyright.PENANA66wLavr9rS
311Please respect copyright.PENANANKBsbOiFKR
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.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAqjuXkL3Kht
311Please respect copyright.PENANAaTU8wuP14E
311Please respect copyright.PENANAsrdcdYJgZX
"Sure, but can you please wait for a second? I need to inform them first," Katherine said.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAPmSbcqh10x
311Please respect copyright.PENANA3xkJrsWbNZ
311Please respect copyright.PENANAGR4X6SNmR5
"Who?" Denzel asked with a puzzlement.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAsg963B7kmK
311Please respect copyright.PENANAI3JNFhuIxN
311Please respect copyright.PENANALnH4JxkJAk
"My personal bodyguards," as Katherine hesitantly mentioned them to Denzel.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAzYA9anOdYm
311Please respect copyright.PENANA6nzR71j6wB
311Please respect copyright.PENANA0Kjf9suHmO
He grinned at her statement, "For real? I didn't expect that you have bodyguards now."
311Please respect copyright.PENANAdrzQN85Yhl
311Please respect copyright.PENANA27jttq5J13
311Please respect copyright.PENANATrf5eJQjPl
"What else do you think? It's my grandfather's preference," Katherine replied.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAOVU2DeRxvX
311Please respect copyright.PENANAX6q9jJITIF
311Please respect copyright.PENANAPyq1UEaROo
"It's so tough when there's someone seems beautiful like you," Denzel teased.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAyk5zXEQP7J
311Please respect copyright.PENANAPbXrj5Kalg
311Please respect copyright.PENANAYYINmrKhUr
"Tzk, whatever, Haze," Katherine reacted with a sigh. "Well, just stay here. I have to talk to them first."
311Please respect copyright.PENANAHeeG60fxE4
311Please respect copyright.PENANAHJyMSGiBKX
311Please respect copyright.PENANALG7iDBc2MC
"Sure," Denzel replied while looking at the direction Katherine was heading.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAm6axm0AbtD
311Please respect copyright.PENANA1WQb6IJqKv
311Please respect copyright.PENANAiTcCYTKAeA
Their conversation didn't last long as the guy had somewhere else to go. They just quickly returned to the mansion.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAYvtQyOtIFK
311Please respect copyright.PENANACCAN4vHcHy
311Please respect copyright.PENANAs0V3FOyliu
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.PENANAMNZ4AtBwMs
311Please respect copyright.PENANA6eA1WQN4Ho
311Please respect copyright.PENANA7XpVEkORaO
"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.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAMAtXjKS8on
311Please respect copyright.PENANAToAqUQPnFL
311Please respect copyright.PENANAYVSaG4iXDZ
Katherine turned a page before speaking again, "Who?"
311Please respect copyright.PENANAUuliLXSsJT
311Please respect copyright.PENANAeKsTqWlwss
311Please respect copyright.PENANAkCyDk8fENQ
"The guy you were with Arianne." the guy replied.
311Please respect copyright.PENANA0X9bXYXr4u
311Please respect copyright.PENANAqtfrqT1J8t
311Please respect copyright.PENANAC9ELXVPexM
"Uhh, Haze. What about him?"
311Please respect copyright.PENANAVzNQzuYmIt
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.PENANAJKntSu1OMr
311Please respect copyright.PENANACK8gx8jgQD
311Please respect copyright.PENANA4a2P5Yv3Cd
"I just want to know if you've known each other for a long time or if you just met today."
311Please respect copyright.PENANAARsKacD30s
311Please respect copyright.PENANAcNMxH32AEC
311Please respect copyright.PENANAwpafZwkuuF
"Haze and I have known each other for a long time. We're old friends from college."
311Please respect copyright.PENANA0eLdEzC2Z5
311Please respect copyright.PENANAaXIZOfteSe
311Please respect copyright.PENANAzWtNUqJUGk
Gabriel furrowed his brow, analyzing every word that Katherine will say.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAAMcO9zGf7Z
311Please respect copyright.PENANAa6TIqWsAqZ
311Please respect copyright.PENANA7QCIE4rvna
"Really?"
311Please respect copyright.PENANArztBOl3cBB
311Please respect copyright.PENANA7VjA611bIx
311Please respect copyright.PENANAv1wtW7pgS0
The girl paused reading and faced Gabriel. "We just haven't talked much after college. We had our own lives and became more busy."
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.PENANAZfXlrz8IrJ
311Please respect copyright.PENANATuDNZB5v5Z
311Please respect copyright.PENANApdvejJdOZM
"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.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAkUlhdoi8S4
311Please respect copyright.PENANAbURJIoYtAL
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.PENANAMZZpC7jb33
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.
311Please respect copyright.PENANATiDxKHb3pC
311Please respect copyright.PENANAacXgAJomRn
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."
311Please respect copyright.PENANAGxAKxWVCge
311Please respect copyright.PENANA4se89Va9l5
311Please respect copyright.PENANA2cOYZbAuEK
"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."
311Please respect copyright.PENANA2gjZwy9X1p
311Please respect copyright.PENANAcKxSPWb69F
311Please respect copyright.PENANAkNIZDVrMjy
After that, Katherine took the lead. She stood up and went back to where she had left her book.
311Please respect copyright.PENANA2TTu3H8mhL
311Please respect copyright.PENANAHTofca4jHS
311Please respect copyright.PENANAgfyfJ4jlEY
"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."
311Please respect copyright.PENANAewhM8PCbSO
311Please respect copyright.PENANAIFWAOHSwAV
311Please respect copyright.PENANAp3ZIOgBVvL
Katherine still annoyed when she walked away. She didn't want to argue with Gabriel anymore. It would lead nowhere.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAY39cegFVK6
311Please respect copyright.PENANAKbnjPfEr32
311Please respect copyright.PENANA1vKfrbIZFj
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.
311Please respect copyright.PENANA4rOo6xapcg
311Please respect copyright.PENANAUZrkJj5uRE
311Please respect copyright.PENANAFAzrxttafr

311Please respect copyright.PENANAUj1gSdXOiW
311Please respect copyright.PENANAk3CfGxN35V
311Please respect copyright.PENANAimOLoq5gTc
Katherine: Yes, because I'm also getting bored here in my grandfather's mansion. I also want to feel new environment.

311Please respect copyright.PENANAd4lk4iv0cf

311Please respect copyright.PENANA9CWbpMWbOG
Alright, I'll also inform Rian and my bodyguards about this so they can prepare.

311Please respect copyright.PENANAgltJA6PvNY
311Please respect copyright.PENANArnXzF7D5T3
311Please respect copyright.PENANA58PQqLgYfm
After their conversation, Katherine immediately went to Arianne to tell her about the conversation she had with Denzel.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAe6F5aYWmqP
311Please respect copyright.PENANAeZeRpLgc1B
311Please respect copyright.PENANATpkJ4j7Y09
"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?"
311Please respect copyright.PENANAH8F94KS6Nt
311Please respect copyright.PENANAGcoVPg9RfO
311Please respect copyright.PENANANQFgQ8Z34E
"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.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAbCTyy1bjW4
311Please respect copyright.PENANAn1FiD5K3Ug
311Please respect copyright.PENANAKoIBjbnfcM
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.
311Please respect copyright.PENANA8WUhXwbM5u
311Please respect copyright.PENANAABkzxO0KAw
311Please respect copyright.PENANAgH15BFDzw5
"Ah!" she got startled by what she saw, so he quickly composed herself.
311Please respect copyright.PENANA0UQPmbIw0s
311Please respect copyright.PENANAmKqe7GGqIT
311Please respect copyright.PENANAdEu0GmK1uO
"Just a moment, let me change," Gabriel replied with embarassment.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAjNYduikJwV
311Please respect copyright.PENANAnOPmfkFbo0
311Please respect copyright.PENANAFn6YgXP0OV
He quickly went back inside to change his clothes.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAwyToebSFn7
311Please respect copyright.PENANAXwh3JlYeBK
311Please respect copyright.PENANAYOXFJuY98H
"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.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAEXfACqKUM3
311Please respect copyright.PENANAL5hGLXG9RB
311Please respect copyright.PENANArV37TPLODI
"Why did you come here?" Gabriel asked.
311Please respect copyright.PENANABVzzoDOhD7
311Please respect copyright.PENANAoab5URj23p
311Please respect copyright.PENANAjjF9Pr3gYP
"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."
311Please respect copyright.PENANAGEsIzhftPM
311Please respect copyright.PENANAanz5OZOAh6
311Please respect copyright.PENANAvJAJh5XXuf
Katherine put up a convincing act. She even added a little playfulness at the end to persuade Gabriel.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAXwk7DPl0Jw
311Please respect copyright.PENANAeKdrGobYcJ
311Please respect copyright.PENANAyZAOdFW5pe
It took a few seconds before the guy answered, "Why is the plan so sudden?"
311Please respect copyright.PENANAq5RmKIurBK
311Please respect copyright.PENANAGC6UUSI5WT
311Please respect copyright.PENANArGgPoWDHt5
"I just thought of it earlier," Katherine reasoned while looking straight at him.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAJgWnQcD9f2
311Please respect copyright.PENANAeozX1rKNtP
311Please respect copyright.PENANAkYAAHXANyl
"Okay, fine. I agree to go for an outing tomorrow," Gabriel replied with a certainty.
311Please respect copyright.PENANA5AehpmGzyH
311Please respect copyright.PENANAlwWBWIcyoS
311Please respect copyright.PENANAXwNp20g76q
There's nothing probably in granting Katherine's request, even if it's just once. He felt some pity for the girl.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAXdp7NEUc16
311Please respect copyright.PENANAktf45eO8Ow
311Please respect copyright.PENANAgpuM1624RY
"Thank you for agreeing," Katherine's smile widened at Gabriel's consent.
311Please respect copyright.PENANASiibOaRfAQ
311Please respect copyright.PENANA8wBelfTEwd
311Please respect copyright.PENANAMXo364Eshd

311Please respect copyright.PENANAuy4fRPnwDE
311Please respect copyright.PENANA8oXIRWHehu
311Please respect copyright.PENANAmIckkAOrLe
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.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAAdSnDqS6Pl
311Please respect copyright.PENANANcE7COxYo4
