Suddenly, Katherine heard a familiar voice from a distance.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAwEVwwSEMFN
308Please respect copyright.PENANAumZgt903hq
"Hey, Miss Yuzon! Long time no see."
308Please respect copyright.PENANAoglVF6LhWn
308Please respect copyright.PENANAW5NtjkUqN3
308Please respect copyright.PENANAkr8q9OFxXI
As she turned around, it surprised her of what she saw. "Haze?”
308Please respect copyright.PENANAZs4q4xOtkz
308Please respect copyright.PENANAwvo2Jr6woQ
308Please respect copyright.PENANA7rqIN3oTkS
"Oh, come on. Can you just call me Denzel, please? We've graduated from college already," he complained.
308Please respect copyright.PENANArVg3zJgPVm
308Please respect copyright.PENANA7LJKbtFK4x
308Please respect copyright.PENANA9vO2jxeOOE
“How long have you known each other?” Arianne interrupted as she noticed the closeness of the two.
308Please respect copyright.PENANA8HkAED60lg
308Please respect copyright.PENANAVPtBPHEFnn
308Please respect copyright.PENANAkmGW8gvaR4
"Yes!" Denzel replied with enthusiasm, turning back to Katherine.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAUMK1HbIdpT
308Please respect copyright.PENANApZrIykSAbZ
308Please respect copyright.PENANAbYAs3NBKaU
"That's why I saw you became very close," Arianne, stating of what she have observed from the two in front of her.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAbVcAlcF2tN
308Please respect copyright.PENANAclD8d2VeXy
308Please respect copyright.PENANAbnJIggK5hj
Denzel is just laughed. “How are you two related, anyway?"
308Please respect copyright.PENANAfGdJRqZAa6
308Please respect copyright.PENANALSJHZcNG00
308Please respect copyright.PENANAktkHk3Xtut
"We're first degree cousins," Katherine responded to the guy.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAsuCmjXZsq6
308Please respect copyright.PENANAJnEfzvsFgz
308Please respect copyright.PENANAd7qTKgC0cV
Denzel shook hands with Katherine's cousin. "Nice to meet you, Arianne."
308Please respect copyright.PENANAQS64xv6oyb
308Please respect copyright.PENANAgcw0GKgeSo
308Please respect copyright.PENANAenltB7PZmC
"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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAQcQNrlz976
308Please respect copyright.PENANArcrVO7nuzd
308Please respect copyright.PENANAF78fr9ivxN
The guy turned his attention back to Katherine.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAD0rum47Fn6
308Please respect copyright.PENANAGDc1k7gAri
308Please respect copyright.PENANAJH74ThT7nx
"Okay! Why are you here, anyway?" she asked to change the flow of conversation.
308Please respect copyright.PENANALXhPr00h2U
308Please respect copyright.PENANAKxOIqUVI1y
308Please respect copyright.PENANATdxu8gWBHI

308Please respect copyright.PENANAenokViXdyB
308Please respect copyright.PENANAfZojGFQNIW
308Please respect copyright.PENANA6VEIITFqcv
"I do not know since we haven't talked in a long time, eh," Katherine answered.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAJnAA7el7Ac
308Please respect copyright.PENANALwDMtT3nEy
308Please respect copyright.PENANAEMjfrbA2rf
After graduation, they went on their separate ways and didn't keep in touch, even on social media. Their lives had become more busy.
308Please respect copyright.PENANA0vHq6xfOxi
308Please respect copyright.PENANActiLSEUqia
308Please respect copyright.PENANAu8c3WJ8IH8
One smile lingered on the guy's face.. "Well, I'm here for the award."
308Please respect copyright.PENANAvD4DyPMODI
308Please respect copyright.PENANATgqYCRuNpL
308Please respect copyright.PENANAu3iVLcYOZ4
Katherine's gaze shifted between Arianne and the guy.. "Don't tell me you-"
308Please respect copyright.PENANASvHcgwCw0n
308Please respect copyright.PENANAifQVJVr4mC
308Please respect copyright.PENANAU4zPcJXrDh
"I won an award for being one of the best recording artists this year," Denzel said, cutting her off.
308Please respect copyright.PENANArgtIV52q8n
308Please respect copyright.PENANAZTxN9QEwoU
308Please respect copyright.PENANAvOOjMLvyU8
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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANA0GgprbR3EP
308Please respect copyright.PENANAVrAmDhCQxW
308Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5t8leQ052
"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?"
308Please respect copyright.PENANA8l70BwoAph
308Please respect copyright.PENANAJHo7bkNKpO
308Please respect copyright.PENANAtZL4feK8t1
"I received an award too, for being a best-selling author," she said directly, causing the guy to furrow his brow in surprise.
308Please respect copyright.PENANA6G7CbSt4oy
308Please respect copyright.PENANAES8A40kmLg
308Please respect copyright.PENANAyeEJcdJFwd
"Really?" Denzel asked. "I didn't know you desired for writing too. I only knew you liked only singing like me."
308Please respect copyright.PENANAOxBCeZ5oqe
308Please respect copyright.PENANA6cfVkxkFCp
308Please respect copyright.PENANA0ufpqOQ41D
"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."
308Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8prHUrLEW
308Please respect copyright.PENANAmdlVETHAfP
308Please respect copyright.PENANACBU7ogf8Ge
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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAdlQitUcTC9
308Please respect copyright.PENANA8nhM6wjHd9
308Please respect copyright.PENANAoCwYqkhqK9

308Please respect copyright.PENANA3gpWFgMH2w
308Please respect copyright.PENANAwxPc9nNQL9
308Please respect copyright.PENANA4hzPtvBRVc
"No, I'm more focused on the novels I write, so my voice isn't used for singing anymore," she stated.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAWAASwJxhTX
308Please respect copyright.PENANAHe5ZFW1eui
308Please respect copyright.PENANAk4HXiQc7G7
"It's a shame because you had a beautiful voice back then, but I will support you in your writing career."
308Please respect copyright.PENANApEs4CC3uVZ
308Please respect copyright.PENANAwPLU2JuBAm
308Please respect copyright.PENANAIIevyd7qFs
The girl smiled. "Thank you, and I will also support your music career."
308Please respect copyright.PENANAxdLmEuzv61
308Please respect copyright.PENANAUykwjwbjWF
308Please respect copyright.PENANA08y14oU5Fs
"Anyway, are you going home now?" the guy asking Katherine.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAss9DSxUXHW
308Please respect copyright.PENANAQosuRgS4bv
308Please respect copyright.PENANAWoaFuPLLqy
"Yes, why?" she responded.
308Please respect copyright.PENANA4JrEEAow0j
308Please respect copyright.PENANA6ECwVt4XVD
308Please respect copyright.PENANAQ227FXlscR
"Don't go yet, because I want to invite you both for a meal outside. My treat!"
308Please respect copyright.PENANA8mS5nFGaKD
308Please respect copyright.PENANAQHsocbTz53
308Please respect copyright.PENANA810NgaJIyl
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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAIC7NQJbyzH
308Please respect copyright.PENANAZQDI2UXAXg
308Please respect copyright.PENANAoDTenTDl0Y
"Sure, but can you please wait for a second? I need to inform them first," Katherine said.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAl8CYUsgkev
308Please respect copyright.PENANAPP5f92Dor5
308Please respect copyright.PENANAHmBQimnldR
"Who?" Denzel asked with a puzzlement.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAICIwqToMDf
308Please respect copyright.PENANArr1qXQrAmC
308Please respect copyright.PENANAzrDbV9ciMu
"My personal bodyguards," as Katherine hesitantly mentioned them to Denzel.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAyTYBMTYVyx
308Please respect copyright.PENANA1Eg7lyP4t1
308Please respect copyright.PENANACQG4Pv9BX4
He grinned at her statement, "For real? I didn't expect that you have bodyguards now."
308Please respect copyright.PENANAJMEFOEWXWd
308Please respect copyright.PENANAlwP9cpE6cc
308Please respect copyright.PENANAO74YlOCvW6
"What else do you think? It's my grandfather's preference," Katherine replied.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAZIntMLL8qj
308Please respect copyright.PENANAsoJpQRlYP1
308Please respect copyright.PENANAk5bOmttV7G
"It's so tough when there's someone seems beautiful like you," Denzel teased.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAWoWlVx0ImB
308Please respect copyright.PENANA6S8IIEo9ow
308Please respect copyright.PENANAv8WpT4YeRt
"Tzk, whatever, Haze," Katherine reacted with a sigh. "Well, just stay here. I have to talk to them first."
308Please respect copyright.PENANAI2n5PjVJ9u
308Please respect copyright.PENANAaaCACViCgD
308Please respect copyright.PENANAa1LBkPmTcL
"Sure," Denzel replied while looking at the direction Katherine was heading.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAlct5El4t9S
308Please respect copyright.PENANAAO3VcguYFW
308Please respect copyright.PENANAP15nj8WMUh
Their conversation didn't last long as the guy had somewhere else to go. They just quickly returned to the mansion.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAI8RMYNRr5q
308Please respect copyright.PENANAbPWxE0qHeX
308Please respect copyright.PENANAmXuZ22XSa3
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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAC4baIFVEdR
308Please respect copyright.PENANAPZQ9Gi98St
308Please respect copyright.PENANAVfJOuRxF08
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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANA0hsdj1UmKO
308Please respect copyright.PENANAFmghNzgNZM
308Please respect copyright.PENANAZLegP0OTuw
"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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAIEOGg2JkZQ
308Please respect copyright.PENANACQyWY6jWIQ
308Please respect copyright.PENANAqQhyLJI2FP
Katherine turned a page before speaking again, "Who?"
308Please respect copyright.PENANAqowEUIB0sm
308Please respect copyright.PENANAl7UMCo4vue
308Please respect copyright.PENANA4NI9wNWEWv
"The guy you were with Arianne." the guy replied.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAJZlrt9wgXY
308Please respect copyright.PENANApTJZCJ3D4P
308Please respect copyright.PENANAZTiY24jZj0
"Uhh, Haze. What about him?"
308Please respect copyright.PENANAIp9FlxVHO2
308Please respect copyright.PENANANP0BPLDXms
308Please respect copyright.PENANA556LC5WR2g
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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAyfV4neRAVp
308Please respect copyright.PENANAaX4bnPMW6O
308Please respect copyright.PENANAkZu6DStSCk

308Please respect copyright.PENANAy7AwgJRFWy
308Please respect copyright.PENANAeoBaOhRxhk
308Please respect copyright.PENANA06u67e4oJo
"Haze and I have known each other for a long time. We're old friends from college."
308Please respect copyright.PENANAtpNcT8WK4z
308Please respect copyright.PENANAojijIAnGdI
308Please respect copyright.PENANApVSo3lLKvR
Gabriel furrowed his brow, analyzing every word that Katherine will say.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAky7dWxioMn
308Please respect copyright.PENANAhDG12MLOEx
308Please respect copyright.PENANAA6lhyI7CPl
"Really?"
308Please respect copyright.PENANAY1nnjdGQ2M
308Please respect copyright.PENANA3n0Tpj13IH
308Please respect copyright.PENANAfG9mNLO6Ji
The girl paused reading and faced Gabriel. "We just haven't talked much after college. We had our own lives and became more busy."
308Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZPtcsYxAh
308Please respect copyright.PENANAskJgLqekvP
308Please respect copyright.PENANAccemTmm4Mw
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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAWWga5psulU
308Please respect copyright.PENANAvsnX4ZeC8S
308Please respect copyright.PENANADHhyRUsGUm
"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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAN9TUMfntUh
308Please respect copyright.PENANA61Dvm9GQqU
308Please respect copyright.PENANAQp8yW7mOhC
"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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAM1k5a4b4gY
308Please respect copyright.PENANAn30ih8WDmj
308Please respect copyright.PENANALtxUlvQdI9
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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAbIyNnULgcC
308Please respect copyright.PENANAITymXnQy9D
308Please respect copyright.PENANAC3Asi88d8K
"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."
308Please respect copyright.PENANAzacHllcopp
308Please respect copyright.PENANA7MRcLmuB8g
308Please respect copyright.PENANANiyphXDHjX
"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."
308Please respect copyright.PENANAQNNXcvcnJ8
308Please respect copyright.PENANAUhtRec0mEJ
308Please respect copyright.PENANAAk6NSt6xFD
After that, Katherine took the lead. She stood up and went back to where she had left her book.
308Please respect copyright.PENANANrHPgBU0MW
308Please respect copyright.PENANAF5558GHER0
308Please respect copyright.PENANA65zDWsDcCu
"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."
308Please respect copyright.PENANAV1fZuWBAjs
308Please respect copyright.PENANABoMBHYr5kJ
308Please respect copyright.PENANAIEk11txNTW
Katherine still annoyed when she walked away. She didn't want to argue with Gabriel anymore. It would lead nowhere.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAR7zmFUIfSs
308Please respect copyright.PENANAJVErFM7j1i
308Please respect copyright.PENANAn3SX9yCwKt
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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAE9tw4mriEK
308Please respect copyright.PENANA7Jo0vIGEJq

308Please respect copyright.PENANA3kGoEepgDL
308Please respect copyright.PENANAAlfA5sb9l5
308Please respect copyright.PENANAgR6MVfVSv9

308Please respect copyright.PENANAYbk5Lxyh9k
308Please respect copyright.PENANApsfIUN2tcX
308Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ0gMhFgNr
After their conversation, Katherine immediately went to Arianne to tell her about the conversation she had with Denzel.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAZPCJOxAge6
308Please respect copyright.PENANAuzMDrzh8k4
308Please respect copyright.PENANAIB1mboQqEW
"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?"
308Please respect copyright.PENANAczxgCfYnJe
308Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZoiDH1gKb
308Please respect copyright.PENANAOioSMijRAi
"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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANA0y0tuTpWmV
308Please respect copyright.PENANADR0Ix0n15f

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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAKqWRu3UibW
308Please respect copyright.PENANAYMXbxQ9O1W
308Please respect copyright.PENANA4EATGmxEqw

308Please respect copyright.PENANAfpLHhGBrFA
308Please respect copyright.PENANAeL0tDfAJSX
308Please respect copyright.PENANA1MtOQtjfc0
"Just a moment, let me change," Gabriel replied with embarassment.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAZZCgxpy2qC
308Please respect copyright.PENANA5OOicDwD6V
308Please respect copyright.PENANA4O4PGmu0lE
He quickly went back inside to change his clothes.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAslQN58sMTu
308Please respect copyright.PENANAIcDc4qi0Xp
308Please respect copyright.PENANAKly0wXHmPV
"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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAHdBC04GjOk
308Please respect copyright.PENANAEF2HvSodN1
308Please respect copyright.PENANAasCOCFRNo4
"Why did you come here?" Gabriel asked.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAmp4OAERuAL
308Please respect copyright.PENANAQJdd2MSSfm
308Please respect copyright.PENANAzwPEenGee6
"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."
308Please respect copyright.PENANA5xTpvF4NpA
308Please respect copyright.PENANAsF9axxH1gi
308Please respect copyright.PENANAwnDpFiJvRF
Katherine put up a convincing act. She even added a little playfulness at the end to persuade Gabriel.
308Please respect copyright.PENANArQccwVI3IT
308Please respect copyright.PENANA9HKsdrXuKr
308Please respect copyright.PENANAEjCDirZ4kx
It took a few seconds before the guy answered, "Why is the plan so sudden?"
308Please respect copyright.PENANAjHHGwRmaqZ
308Please respect copyright.PENANAAjWlIhv4FZ
308Please respect copyright.PENANALG1IcTMgFg
"I just thought of it earlier," Katherine reasoned while looking straight at him.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAvHPQxb4TX4
308Please respect copyright.PENANAd3F89pitET
308Please respect copyright.PENANAAhco2ABRdY
"Okay, fine. I agree to go for an outing tomorrow," Gabriel replied with a certainty.
308Please respect copyright.PENANARYy7Uj069i
308Please respect copyright.PENANAL4YGdR19IP
308Please respect copyright.PENANAtX9eIyebXB
There's nothing probably in granting Katherine's request, even if it's just once. He felt some pity for the girl.
308Please respect copyright.PENANA84AVWCJUd4
308Please respect copyright.PENANAdrA4BF7vqy
308Please respect copyright.PENANA39mkRdqcQ2
"Thank you for agreeing," Katherine's smile widened at Gabriel's consent.
308Please respect copyright.PENANA4IQc3ebCq2
308Please respect copyright.PENANA9QxF7AVYjP
308Please respect copyright.PENANAQSy98BJCAC

308Please respect copyright.PENANA8J5X8BtCwa
308Please respect copyright.PENANAFUPro8Ls0E
308Please respect copyright.PENANApFwXjMBDMb
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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAXDKHYMgRSe
308Please respect copyright.PENANAB0ofKTeAIL
