Suddenly, Katherine heard a familiar voice from a distance.
307Please respect copyright.PENANA5JX5fZOQ5R
307Please respect copyright.PENANAyNdlVLUgqh
"Hey, Miss Yuzon! Long time no see."
307Please respect copyright.PENANAcTvBZzDtt5
307Please respect copyright.PENANASBmVaCcJ5H
307Please respect copyright.PENANAercLr7S3B8
As she turned around, it surprised her of what she saw. "Haze?”
307Please respect copyright.PENANAvHrUUckp9y
307Please respect copyright.PENANAcrWTM4VV7A
307Please respect copyright.PENANABYE6EnixZV
"Oh, come on. Can you just call me Denzel, please? We've graduated from college already," he complained.
307Please respect copyright.PENANARAXzcsVv5A
307Please respect copyright.PENANAt0gJZPOQk7
307Please respect copyright.PENANA6LI2gTio9W
“How long have you known each other?” Arianne interrupted as she noticed the closeness of the two.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAuqLvg5DVUj
307Please respect copyright.PENANA5M8KnQw20a
307Please respect copyright.PENANAozpnY2mTIp
"Yes!" Denzel replied with enthusiasm, turning back to Katherine.
307Please respect copyright.PENANA7IaPEgsv4n
307Please respect copyright.PENANA7oATTc3Htz
307Please respect copyright.PENANApKtlMcWGyC
"That's why I saw you became very close," Arianne, stating of what she have observed from the two in front of her.
307Please respect copyright.PENANA55ZB5sj4BC
307Please respect copyright.PENANAnEaNXlCjb4
307Please respect copyright.PENANASdYqvrkjx8
Denzel is just laughed. “How are you two related, anyway?"
307Please respect copyright.PENANATLv7TZIGDe
307Please respect copyright.PENANAuzaRG1uC7G
307Please respect copyright.PENANAeNSO3V8vnY
"We're first degree cousins," Katherine responded to the guy.
307Please respect copyright.PENANALfvuDX7RWs
307Please respect copyright.PENANADHf1nVkr4l
307Please respect copyright.PENANA0l49scLlHN
Denzel shook hands with Katherine's cousin. "Nice to meet you, Arianne."
307Please respect copyright.PENANAmA2jCPHCf9
307Please respect copyright.PENANAm2f4W00Ip2
307Please respect copyright.PENANAVkhjAuGEQX
"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.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAQabhr6pulJ
307Please respect copyright.PENANACOxY8Vftka
307Please respect copyright.PENANAdEro0o85eD
The guy turned his attention back to Katherine.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAVXtoZcGbCX
307Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZQ6V5wpx3
307Please respect copyright.PENANAYIu60jHhfP
"Okay! Why are you here, anyway?" she asked to change the flow of conversation.
307Please respect copyright.PENANANLd25GC8ZL
307Please respect copyright.PENANAyIrKRLJa4r
307Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ8ZWBhQjN
"Wanna guest?" A guy smiling as he was making questions.
307Please respect copyright.PENANA5BMIahC3En
307Please respect copyright.PENANAagZaQeHzAV
307Please respect copyright.PENANAGnOQOvT2Mw
"I do not know since we haven't talked in a long time, eh," Katherine answered.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAPlVjbMvUUX
307Please respect copyright.PENANA0pXC7fdFBB
307Please respect copyright.PENANALuk58Qqehc
After graduation, they went on their separate ways and didn't keep in touch, even on social media. Their lives had become more busy.
307Please respect copyright.PENANABNx1ky6YAE
307Please respect copyright.PENANAOnfykzsvfM
307Please respect copyright.PENANAKadnL5XnkR
One smile lingered on the guy's face.. "Well, I'm here for the award."
307Please respect copyright.PENANAm5vrTSBYyK
307Please respect copyright.PENANAc6sg5j1LoR
307Please respect copyright.PENANAA2U0gDNBQr
Katherine's gaze shifted between Arianne and the guy.. "Don't tell me you-"
307Please respect copyright.PENANAD1p3Dciy9I
307Please respect copyright.PENANAiZ2uDezMyw
307Please respect copyright.PENANAHoWy4W9itR
"I won an award for being one of the best recording artists this year," Denzel said, cutting her off.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAv7xsYZrIcy
307Please respect copyright.PENANA0fFqg65tC7
307Please respect copyright.PENANAvKqzeHLZtq
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.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAdLNaV9SpfU
307Please respect copyright.PENANA1KIVVbxhVh
307Please respect copyright.PENANAIgY0O5CspE
"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?"
307Please respect copyright.PENANAkXjkOwbFEh
307Please respect copyright.PENANA3pre82T1CB
307Please respect copyright.PENANAQNMDwBmDOo
"I received an award too, for being a best-selling author," she said directly, causing the guy to furrow his brow in surprise.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAMFCgnnDZ1T
307Please respect copyright.PENANAxNOi4cMO2I
307Please respect copyright.PENANArQWunx6qXU
"Really?" Denzel asked. "I didn't know you desired for writing too. I only knew you liked only singing like me."
307Please respect copyright.PENANAt9aap7Q1nN
307Please respect copyright.PENANA8kioQME6ID
307Please respect copyright.PENANAk5lQXs7F64
"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."
307Please respect copyright.PENANAHbhsPb9nL0
307Please respect copyright.PENANAH7yF0Qwlmn
307Please respect copyright.PENANAZNFxA7DKPi
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.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAWLBpo6ZnGV
307Please respect copyright.PENANAF54jB9YT3q
307Please respect copyright.PENANAFMMfN4Cltm
"But you still singing?" asked the guy.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAL0b2uycrZ2
307Please respect copyright.PENANASfg9qkiPjo
307Please respect copyright.PENANAobyZmp2SrD
"No, I'm more focused on the novels I write, so my voice isn't used for singing anymore," she stated.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAHZUjmuAMsk
307Please respect copyright.PENANAlQy61F9sqH
307Please respect copyright.PENANAVZ1YLCc26N
"It's a shame because you had a beautiful voice back then, but I will support you in your writing career."
307Please respect copyright.PENANAhkioZ0ndzZ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAejOa1hoYWD
307Please respect copyright.PENANAeRviF8Purb
The girl smiled. "Thank you, and I will also support your music career."
307Please respect copyright.PENANAuChnKM8RYU
307Please respect copyright.PENANAsD9PIUH6qG
307Please respect copyright.PENANAlIzdZhvEZu
"Anyway, are you going home now?" the guy asking Katherine.
307Please respect copyright.PENANArWE12zYwTp
307Please respect copyright.PENANAwtmOC3UtXA
307Please respect copyright.PENANAEVbTRk3PEW
"Yes, why?" she responded.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAiBo6uoI2Ud
307Please respect copyright.PENANADCGYV4kF8z
307Please respect copyright.PENANAvaqpMdpQ8T
"Don't go yet, because I want to invite you both for a meal outside. My treat!"
307Please respect copyright.PENANArQFOxvfwCW
307Please respect copyright.PENANA3NqQLi3ifW
307Please respect copyright.PENANAmvW9Zxuf4G
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.
307Please respect copyright.PENANArQFNegnWmM
307Please respect copyright.PENANABwxQxybMNB
307Please respect copyright.PENANAGIgNMjOtQJ
"Sure, but can you please wait for a second? I need to inform them first," Katherine said.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAunDjAM2Y98
307Please respect copyright.PENANAeuKp71TSn5
307Please respect copyright.PENANAfe5PoYSwpv
"Who?" Denzel asked with a puzzlement.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAjPYTE8Cooc
307Please respect copyright.PENANAsHTnlNJ19p
307Please respect copyright.PENANAUfYkQoaesk
"My personal bodyguards," as Katherine hesitantly mentioned them to Denzel.
307Please respect copyright.PENANARgrKmEIuaw
307Please respect copyright.PENANA81B1e6kghT
307Please respect copyright.PENANAJCs1N0uuD4
He grinned at her statement, "For real? I didn't expect that you have bodyguards now."
307Please respect copyright.PENANATUeniTh76R
307Please respect copyright.PENANAhQ7UdHdPsg
307Please respect copyright.PENANAb5i4uwReuy
"What else do you think? It's my grandfather's preference," Katherine replied.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAynZ1SIkAjb
307Please respect copyright.PENANA6Zug42DLcM
307Please respect copyright.PENANAqFsm125xsh
"It's so tough when there's someone seems beautiful like you," Denzel teased.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAOopMRDeneT
307Please respect copyright.PENANAH8m0XTjKra
307Please respect copyright.PENANApZ7iven9QB
"Tzk, whatever, Haze," Katherine reacted with a sigh. "Well, just stay here. I have to talk to them first."
307Please respect copyright.PENANAadkJGCWeUT
307Please respect copyright.PENANANW2uZKjlIb
307Please respect copyright.PENANAkNzqPGXUqB
"Sure," Denzel replied while looking at the direction Katherine was heading.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAueVk3DXS59
307Please respect copyright.PENANAMRwSJn39dC
307Please respect copyright.PENANAXJlkB57vv3
Their conversation didn't last long as the guy had somewhere else to go. They just quickly returned to the mansion.
307Please respect copyright.PENANA6FnBRAlprR
307Please respect copyright.PENANANLT5P2E5vt
307Please respect copyright.PENANAllUhCS67VL
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.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAuJ1ctI4yQT
307Please respect copyright.PENANATsrEz0YcWC
307Please respect copyright.PENANAuir8z3RcTS
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.
307Please respect copyright.PENANA62PN0ZTDPq
307Please respect copyright.PENANAQCh8O7hSRd
307Please respect copyright.PENANA3eqLo0PyF9
"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.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAP8KLwLDjNt
307Please respect copyright.PENANAuAYPCzII8e
307Please respect copyright.PENANA4Jz3SSwvNV
Katherine turned a page before speaking again, "Who?"
307Please respect copyright.PENANAieI2OXlnn7
307Please respect copyright.PENANAq1v1uFfqV7
307Please respect copyright.PENANA3mQWaNBV3B
"The guy you were with Arianne." the guy replied.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2IM8pXudI
307Please respect copyright.PENANAMHLOZWBqw7
307Please respect copyright.PENANAfcqhpdGj0h
"Uhh, Haze. What about him?"
307Please respect copyright.PENANAFThh4pz4hb
307Please respect copyright.PENANAf7n0uZmS3D
307Please respect copyright.PENANAfFsypvl2s4
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.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAEcwC7LqyUi
307Please respect copyright.PENANAcNJZe02TkP
307Please respect copyright.PENANAkgeoknGVgw
"I just want to know if you've known each other for a long time or if you just met today."
307Please respect copyright.PENANASM4JOlYoml
307Please respect copyright.PENANAWhFuIP6snq
307Please respect copyright.PENANA7vKNGqz8vl
"Haze and I have known each other for a long time. We're old friends from college."
307Please respect copyright.PENANAzqSzYsCwLx
307Please respect copyright.PENANA5OfR4t6xoI
307Please respect copyright.PENANAATQadDo2XV
Gabriel furrowed his brow, analyzing every word that Katherine will say.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAq8zUhXO43d
307Please respect copyright.PENANArelwKzV6eo
307Please respect copyright.PENANAEr5gqV2kRd
"Really?"
307Please respect copyright.PENANAiugdUPZ90y
307Please respect copyright.PENANAdM7er27cFR
307Please respect copyright.PENANApX9ThA8iCa
The girl paused reading and faced Gabriel. "We just haven't talked much after college. We had our own lives and became more busy."
307Please respect copyright.PENANAObYSM3eYDI
307Please respect copyright.PENANA15IIV9lNlr
307Please respect copyright.PENANAylSpd8zVCM
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.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAu1uxNcfg8z
307Please respect copyright.PENANAexCcfYp4Vw
307Please respect copyright.PENANAuYa11CSGpi
"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.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAlMzMIab0IQ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAaXxd17zJEx
307Please respect copyright.PENANA3A7G5OBRkX
"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.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAbHAx0aD66S
307Please respect copyright.PENANAAkeprqPr9M
307Please respect copyright.PENANAbyBs6YufhU
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.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAtC45saxNCs
307Please respect copyright.PENANAsWt7Fgm7ul
307Please respect copyright.PENANA3AEBujeztX
"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."
307Please respect copyright.PENANAQZMDjbcbUj
307Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ4rN2n0JS
307Please respect copyright.PENANAzJfjnSgxYP
"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."
307Please respect copyright.PENANAdgkUX0f3Xe
307Please respect copyright.PENANAdc9rRIPE84
307Please respect copyright.PENANA5wZKGJqseH
After that, Katherine took the lead. She stood up and went back to where she had left her book.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAlzPmnwjBDD
307Please respect copyright.PENANASE0wUbh78Z
307Please respect copyright.PENANAb3GDc3jnXf
"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."
307Please respect copyright.PENANA0NDmltKd60
307Please respect copyright.PENANABH7vP0P5zt
307Please respect copyright.PENANADbuYy1UA9U
Katherine still annoyed when she walked away. She didn't want to argue with Gabriel anymore. It would lead nowhere.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAe0h5TgFBbu
307Please respect copyright.PENANAQOLyRIWAq0
307Please respect copyright.PENANAc323JXshTX
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.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAaq7dpMs0kn
307Please respect copyright.PENANAIul9REw1pE
307Please respect copyright.PENANArsq6fVSogv

307Please respect copyright.PENANA7d7L2G0SOf
307Please respect copyright.PENANAcVyWd730Eb
307Please respect copyright.PENANAgnoamasHKs
Katherine: Yes, because I'm also getting bored here in my grandfather's mansion. I also want to feel new environment.

307Please respect copyright.PENANAFJ5HeFRzsR
307Please respect copyright.PENANAmdxZ0eoXR3
Alright, I'll also inform Rian and my bodyguards about this so they can prepare.

307Please respect copyright.PENANAAOa6n7LY6l
307Please respect copyright.PENANAu7jE9MZZ8i
307Please respect copyright.PENANAHgwcb4luZ6
After their conversation, Katherine immediately went to Arianne to tell her about the conversation she had with Denzel.
307Please respect copyright.PENANATLslJzurOf
307Please respect copyright.PENANAfAn0lcFFQC
307Please respect copyright.PENANA3UFKbUqNLH
"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?"
307Please respect copyright.PENANA70WdfyUO2V
307Please respect copyright.PENANA2qIuCqYPlk
307Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ2PUTCwsR
"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.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAEBWIA6fLVZ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAy9PRTblUMF
307Please respect copyright.PENANATnMErmEvDn
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.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAvSXzeXB46v
307Please respect copyright.PENANAaO48Eig4Z8
307Please respect copyright.PENANAPRPMdbIJVl
"Ah!" she got startled by what she saw, so he quickly composed herself.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAErRKwA8dap
307Please respect copyright.PENANAnviiLoGbH8
307Please respect copyright.PENANA14wzEVoS8n
"Just a moment, let me change," Gabriel replied with embarassment.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAsPKjKleTiA
307Please respect copyright.PENANAavQYcsXDr8
307Please respect copyright.PENANAiSzeq09e4x
He quickly went back inside to change his clothes.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAlF1MrZAI7X
307Please respect copyright.PENANAPT7bFYvdRm
307Please respect copyright.PENANAFYOs4vu9Wq
"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.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAzu1jZEr9bO
307Please respect copyright.PENANALAF0mg3YIE
307Please respect copyright.PENANAURPy2a2nNj
"Why did you come here?" Gabriel asked.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAew7acEErkL
307Please respect copyright.PENANAoMeWYi88e9
307Please respect copyright.PENANAXnbYiDC9rC
"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."
307Please respect copyright.PENANAfnxWEx2TVa
307Please respect copyright.PENANAsf5nxVdZ7o
307Please respect copyright.PENANAscLU8j6Fp4
Katherine put up a convincing act. She even added a little playfulness at the end to persuade Gabriel.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAjH8gasdyTk
307Please respect copyright.PENANAJQJDPowT7G
307Please respect copyright.PENANAL3bOF73wHF
It took a few seconds before the guy answered, "Why is the plan so sudden?"
307Please respect copyright.PENANAUibISDNbjo
307Please respect copyright.PENANAiBiujiEnXg
307Please respect copyright.PENANADJOBDH1jnY
"I just thought of it earlier," Katherine reasoned while looking straight at him.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAijRnSLiysU
307Please respect copyright.PENANAjTSdWmCZhX
307Please respect copyright.PENANAKSfuXXq5kQ
"Okay, fine. I agree to go for an outing tomorrow," Gabriel replied with a certainty.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAxTnKNmHgp9
307Please respect copyright.PENANAqXDkpH8gJo
307Please respect copyright.PENANA9q32Cn1HSv
There's nothing probably in granting Katherine's request, even if it's just once. He felt some pity for the girl.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAMZD91aNl1w
307Please respect copyright.PENANA2BKcrRXSos
307Please respect copyright.PENANALrlwl4IQYJ
"Thank you for agreeing," Katherine's smile widened at Gabriel's consent.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAqTaCuco5kv
307Please respect copyright.PENANAlSCtsRa2KH
307Please respect copyright.PENANASRMj6UtTve
He simply smiled back at the girl and went back to his room.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAqzkJ2ZETnp
307Please respect copyright.PENANAYdQDVfefTj
307Please respect copyright.PENANAtiiP7GMlH7
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.
307Please respect copyright.PENANA9jbTjWTUlX
307Please respect copyright.PENANACrMtJdn9u2

The conversation he had with Mr. Rodelio suddenly entered his mind.
