Suddenly, Katherine heard a familiar voice from a distance.
313Please respect copyright.PENANABqfckC0rbS
313Please respect copyright.PENANAJOvTYEvmwY
"Hey, Miss Yuzon! Long time no see."
313Please respect copyright.PENANAwemKtnfgXC
313Please respect copyright.PENANAgSJ5KpfgUM
313Please respect copyright.PENANAZHCnJVFSQI
As she turned around, it surprised her of what she saw. "Haze?”
313Please respect copyright.PENANA0a2zjLswX8
313Please respect copyright.PENANAXuzkrz7Lij
313Please respect copyright.PENANAwb7L15dcBZ
"Oh, come on. Can you just call me Denzel, please? We've graduated from college already," he complained.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAKhB9GVBLX4
313Please respect copyright.PENANAfJpTz7CtXw
313Please respect copyright.PENANALCJrwliV8A
“How long have you known each other?” Arianne interrupted as she noticed the closeness of the two.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAXwGjM3nqgz
313Please respect copyright.PENANAMKo50QtKrJ
313Please respect copyright.PENANAdQ1eTPVdyb
"Yes!" Denzel replied with enthusiasm, turning back to Katherine.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAGr8rbRsMv3
313Please respect copyright.PENANAulO3uApGXA
313Please respect copyright.PENANAd45Czj54N5
"That's why I saw you became very close," Arianne, stating of what she have observed from the two in front of her.
313Please respect copyright.PENANA0W3UliXvea
313Please respect copyright.PENANA6uIh9UYO95
313Please respect copyright.PENANAurruwFekd3
Denzel is just laughed. “How are you two related, anyway?"
313Please respect copyright.PENANA7bA4WwIll9
313Please respect copyright.PENANAhvcvARcFXQ
313Please respect copyright.PENANAGNbUenJZ7B
"We're first degree cousins," Katherine responded to the guy.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAtk1TtbFaoy
313Please respect copyright.PENANAxdf1EMsdYw
313Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZeFtl9Srq
Denzel shook hands with Katherine's cousin. "Nice to meet you, Arianne."
313Please respect copyright.PENANAHLDi8whyTW
313Please respect copyright.PENANA2x9fPbNjjC
313Please respect copyright.PENANApzIvGEBlBE
"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.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAqo1C2njtAy
313Please respect copyright.PENANA2ho5rZ7gA0
313Please respect copyright.PENANAXJhPCkrxT0
The guy turned his attention back to Katherine.
313Please respect copyright.PENANA2SEX7jWGDG
313Please respect copyright.PENANAf6n20893hj
313Please respect copyright.PENANATRXf06rbwu
"Okay! Why are you here, anyway?" she asked to change the flow of conversation.
313Please respect copyright.PENANA7c2LqmTYB9
313Please respect copyright.PENANAsGOFbDrXTv
313Please respect copyright.PENANAQqY6Kj6DoL
"Wanna guest?" A guy smiling as he was making questions.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAos086WOF5N
313Please respect copyright.PENANAAEiPF24pBd
313Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZOGonjI4j
"I do not know since we haven't talked in a long time, eh," Katherine answered.
313Please respect copyright.PENANARwrAvv4ufQ
313Please respect copyright.PENANATINAmen8JO
313Please respect copyright.PENANA0Vz7SCukYq
After graduation, they went on their separate ways and didn't keep in touch, even on social media. Their lives had become more busy.
313Please respect copyright.PENANA5HaHuFlBbt
313Please respect copyright.PENANA2Y5aZ9zZKW
313Please respect copyright.PENANApg90LlNXzT
One smile lingered on the guy's face.. "Well, I'm here for the award."
313Please respect copyright.PENANA3iprl4ZoDG
313Please respect copyright.PENANAwCz7RbgtOA
313Please respect copyright.PENANA5j5w3svU7T
Katherine's gaze shifted between Arianne and the guy.. "Don't tell me you-"
313Please respect copyright.PENANADyOcX5NdkF
313Please respect copyright.PENANAeQRtcovWyk
313Please respect copyright.PENANAzAb4pYn4vk
"I won an award for being one of the best recording artists this year," Denzel said, cutting her off.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAoSC3AwCJp2
313Please respect copyright.PENANAM0QctioMPc
313Please respect copyright.PENANAQxFW9tMv2l
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.
313Please respect copyright.PENANA3wmbzDV4ye
313Please respect copyright.PENANA8DpjSxnELl
313Please respect copyright.PENANAhx9NU3449Z
"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?"
313Please respect copyright.PENANAq8h2AcgHNn
313Please respect copyright.PENANAjlL1bE9ci7
313Please respect copyright.PENANAVyKMQ9TvvK
"I received an award too, for being a best-selling author," she said directly, causing the guy to furrow his brow in surprise.
313Please respect copyright.PENANA046l2YAT8d
313Please respect copyright.PENANAk1IImGbSnm
313Please respect copyright.PENANASFIRiP0JhC
"Really?" Denzel asked. "I didn't know you desired for writing too. I only knew you liked only singing like me."
313Please respect copyright.PENANAiDvBu5D67D
313Please respect copyright.PENANAXImxqEAGIP
313Please respect copyright.PENANAQQmG72kcQY
"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."
313Please respect copyright.PENANA3jJK5b7YTV
313Please respect copyright.PENANAYC2mpMYSEB
313Please respect copyright.PENANAecxCScjYnT
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.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAc43paSQLpP
313Please respect copyright.PENANAkZCquZNxKM
313Please respect copyright.PENANAeMBfjBQWCD
"But you still singing?" asked the guy.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAZcbowp8CIq
313Please respect copyright.PENANAeggFUbugiT
313Please respect copyright.PENANAW2CcZBuBQw
"No, I'm more focused on the novels I write, so my voice isn't used for singing anymore," she stated.
313Please respect copyright.PENANA4xG8jH7dmD
313Please respect copyright.PENANA8sxAfNIQlF
313Please respect copyright.PENANAwkdMu86KIZ
"It's a shame because you had a beautiful voice back then, but I will support you in your writing career."
313Please respect copyright.PENANADYYlweSLG2
313Please respect copyright.PENANAuRoY8a6FjD
313Please respect copyright.PENANAZvRFbOxNAC
The girl smiled. "Thank you, and I will also support your music career."
313Please respect copyright.PENANALHOER4Mryb
313Please respect copyright.PENANADLHBLTEhEm
313Please respect copyright.PENANAKxLIOIKLu7
"Anyway, are you going home now?" the guy asking Katherine.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAD6rfBXTHE2
313Please respect copyright.PENANACpAtJd2A5V
313Please respect copyright.PENANAoNBfJpUMzo
"Yes, why?" she responded.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAuti1AMPOds
313Please respect copyright.PENANAJYQj9p58bw
313Please respect copyright.PENANARXNbZ1ENVZ
"Don't go yet, because I want to invite you both for a meal outside. My treat!"
313Please respect copyright.PENANARec5rkuUFj
313Please respect copyright.PENANAN0iqWlzwgN
313Please respect copyright.PENANAXjERtQgmDP
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.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAkwZhwhdvjL
313Please respect copyright.PENANAguDRtubpXc
313Please respect copyright.PENANAs6ZiIpM7gv
"Sure, but can you please wait for a second? I need to inform them first," Katherine said.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAcvZ6hLe9Yc
313Please respect copyright.PENANAOkoi9v8Y3L
313Please respect copyright.PENANA4V7sQABiy3
"Who?" Denzel asked with a puzzlement.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAASQVAaMfGG
313Please respect copyright.PENANAY28Hgo6Qcw
313Please respect copyright.PENANA2U8Z2NWxWI
"My personal bodyguards," as Katherine hesitantly mentioned them to Denzel.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAdpXTrIhNI5
313Please respect copyright.PENANAfsvfpojfyw
313Please respect copyright.PENANAvlkb1ETYoS
He grinned at her statement, "For real? I didn't expect that you have bodyguards now."
313Please respect copyright.PENANAHAWKZFH1tj
313Please respect copyright.PENANAr0nmwNdUqN
313Please respect copyright.PENANA2GZVpbFwtx
"What else do you think? It's my grandfather's preference," Katherine replied.
313Please respect copyright.PENANASreD72if8T
313Please respect copyright.PENANADn8Se6hHaz
313Please respect copyright.PENANACSuQm4WJkB
"It's so tough when there's someone seems beautiful like you," Denzel teased.
313Please respect copyright.PENANA4d6re33cTz
313Please respect copyright.PENANAGFjJCRmmH9
313Please respect copyright.PENANArrySIPj4U1
"Tzk, whatever, Haze," Katherine reacted with a sigh. "Well, just stay here. I have to talk to them first."
313Please respect copyright.PENANAYV0RtiFtqO
313Please respect copyright.PENANA1LyxWIg30D
313Please respect copyright.PENANA0FaU3Qyrl9
"Sure," Denzel replied while looking at the direction Katherine was heading.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAfN9Ia3DmlB
313Please respect copyright.PENANAgXRWaiLjqC
313Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1JSj6ldig
Their conversation didn't last long as the guy had somewhere else to go. They just quickly returned to the mansion.
313Please respect copyright.PENANA1oZDm2KBpP
313Please respect copyright.PENANATAkDMfNIbr
313Please respect copyright.PENANABjDzjMstoJ
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.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAaLhasQZkNM
313Please respect copyright.PENANA4S5eaIxd8y
313Please respect copyright.PENANA5RIqkvlURU
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.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAXc7ERYtUq3
313Please respect copyright.PENANAQbt3ayeqfw
313Please respect copyright.PENANAeUTYo8Wutx
"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.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAoCgboS4GZ0
313Please respect copyright.PENANAlhSfIaDgME
313Please respect copyright.PENANA9HovZArQOt
Katherine turned a page before speaking again, "Who?"
313Please respect copyright.PENANAZUxK6iImIB
313Please respect copyright.PENANAiRVk7bIUKC
313Please respect copyright.PENANA6NWfECwrot
"The guy you were with Arianne." the guy replied.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAdqTxGkrjJp
313Please respect copyright.PENANAggQKY0KCu8
313Please respect copyright.PENANAsc3jdemUlk
"Uhh, Haze. What about him?"
313Please respect copyright.PENANA53aBmrBPvs
313Please respect copyright.PENANAHi7inO2Gvs
313Please respect copyright.PENANAWk37Vd6vm4
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.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAhJVaYchn6e
313Please respect copyright.PENANAvx9VyYVhIx
313Please respect copyright.PENANAWOqNnTrV1n
"I just want to know if you've known each other for a long time or if you just met today."
313Please respect copyright.PENANAtyZl0MQO2l
313Please respect copyright.PENANAJY1ZOujWGd
313Please respect copyright.PENANAqinMCljvyt
"Haze and I have known each other for a long time. We're old friends from college."
313Please respect copyright.PENANAEMkbxYfEmn
313Please respect copyright.PENANAJALLWeIUIX
313Please respect copyright.PENANAq80kLy1eAH
Gabriel furrowed his brow, analyzing every word that Katherine will say.
313Please respect copyright.PENANApcO7ZPjhzQ
313Please respect copyright.PENANAFC85O8G9a9
313Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ8g2nx1l3
"Really?"
313Please respect copyright.PENANAYjt2VPxpat
313Please respect copyright.PENANA9c3Rjakvl4
313Please respect copyright.PENANAyGy2sH3wf7
The girl paused reading and faced Gabriel. "We just haven't talked much after college. We had our own lives and became more busy."
313Please respect copyright.PENANAtRe6JEbwvg
313Please respect copyright.PENANAqOz20KJmM9
313Please respect copyright.PENANAdOuWFeXtI2
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.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAB5lC9jemwQ
313Please respect copyright.PENANAS3nQkfhBmy
313Please respect copyright.PENANAvhKjh80I8y
"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.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAzHm3zhEy5a
313Please respect copyright.PENANA1Pjengeb8F
313Please respect copyright.PENANAPj6rgtVKKV
"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.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAnCTGihG7z8
313Please respect copyright.PENANAMA9hMdbKlm
313Please respect copyright.PENANAtZMcyzqhLz
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.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAkHy5UgFaBF
313Please respect copyright.PENANAimH3tlf3ll
313Please respect copyright.PENANAGMR3duvr36
"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."
313Please respect copyright.PENANApNtFzhlh5Q
313Please respect copyright.PENANA7UjCyLHsDR
313Please respect copyright.PENANAoGoSqgZ0Ks
"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."
313Please respect copyright.PENANAGfBtBZuDEv
313Please respect copyright.PENANA1IAVjSJmLG
313Please respect copyright.PENANAm90bmA5aEt
After that, Katherine took the lead. She stood up and went back to where she had left her book.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAbYr3Q2TlFr
313Please respect copyright.PENANAZSb2bxkgbM
313Please respect copyright.PENANARu649MWbXR
"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."
313Please respect copyright.PENANApNZDWpBM03
313Please respect copyright.PENANAw6rqIvm2by
313Please respect copyright.PENANAiJexNhlBZj
Katherine still annoyed when she walked away. She didn't want to argue with Gabriel anymore. It would lead nowhere.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAwebeXOCd4O
313Please respect copyright.PENANAsfGkmj7no1
313Please respect copyright.PENANAO0kotwyj6p
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.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAFyp04aZlsW
313Please respect copyright.PENANAxLtqYxOwxb

313Please respect copyright.PENANAsZiy6GhuUi
313Please respect copyright.PENANAaTfOIwDD3W
Katherine: Yes, because I'm also getting bored here in my grandfather's mansion. I also want to feel new environment.

Alright, I'll also inform Rian and my bodyguards about this so they can prepare.

Yeah, see you tomorrow!
313Please respect copyright.PENANAAAEgEQjyNa
313Please respect copyright.PENANANWtnng7Ayk
313Please respect copyright.PENANAnmYHJm3oxI
After their conversation, Katherine immediately went to Arianne to tell her about the conversation she had with Denzel.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAWahUmfO0xf
313Please respect copyright.PENANAPG2fIq0isc
313Please respect copyright.PENANAnEdOvKpkDa
"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?"
313Please respect copyright.PENANAMFY6D86ifa
313Please respect copyright.PENANAD5Bb1mI4NE
313Please respect copyright.PENANAPkLywY9y89
"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.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAaH5NHmkkXS

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.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAcOsZy4nwmT
313Please respect copyright.PENANAPbgGxoUOLn
313Please respect copyright.PENANARMybVExPHi

313Please respect copyright.PENANAtox6qCkBI0
313Please respect copyright.PENANAniVUIEjQ4H
313Please respect copyright.PENANAZL9LFmuBwg
"Just a moment, let me change," Gabriel replied with embarassment.
313Please respect copyright.PENANA4u0Psnc1Fc
313Please respect copyright.PENANA8qgruPDLlx
313Please respect copyright.PENANAr1orEssbKi
He quickly went back inside to change his clothes.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAGjHqHAop6c
313Please respect copyright.PENANANlLNiBQbJC
313Please respect copyright.PENANAh8Y0rrGckk
"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.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAEjjOvgVKY0
313Please respect copyright.PENANAJEBLdrLovr
313Please respect copyright.PENANAdMJ5OnvYmg
"Why did you come here?" Gabriel asked.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAlxnpgGIVup
313Please respect copyright.PENANADW5CcY523Q
313Please respect copyright.PENANAlVKMV6U9rR
"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."
313Please respect copyright.PENANAMyYW1GPhF7
313Please respect copyright.PENANAEe3NR4OR4s
313Please respect copyright.PENANAzrobdpXpr0
Katherine put up a convincing act. She even added a little playfulness at the end to persuade Gabriel.
313Please respect copyright.PENANA7tUnoh8xTk
313Please respect copyright.PENANAG9XxuIc6ts
313Please respect copyright.PENANAwoZlxBPGb0
It took a few seconds before the guy answered, "Why is the plan so sudden?"
313Please respect copyright.PENANA11yeZyEkJY
313Please respect copyright.PENANAN0q3BsU1JI
313Please respect copyright.PENANA9FBH4wagss
"I just thought of it earlier," Katherine reasoned while looking straight at him.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAuFbzLGPDC0
313Please respect copyright.PENANAbVetRONGZC
313Please respect copyright.PENANAhjCnhsYRAf
"Okay, fine. I agree to go for an outing tomorrow," Gabriel replied with a certainty.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAYLOxzMYLep
313Please respect copyright.PENANApOrnNNRYrU
313Please respect copyright.PENANAS8mpjG9kpO
There's nothing probably in granting Katherine's request, even if it's just once. He felt some pity for the girl.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAOwumO0M4IL
313Please respect copyright.PENANAFV3SiHosbT
313Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZV1G49cf0
"Thank you for agreeing," Katherine's smile widened at Gabriel's consent.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAT0NvKJcKbT
313Please respect copyright.PENANA0jJ1dlzjHc
313Please respect copyright.PENANAcZYOu0E8wS

313Please respect copyright.PENANAJLtHNiFtjz
313Please respect copyright.PENANAZlDOZH2HtI
313Please respect copyright.PENANAFf8qKxYESj
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.
313Please respect copyright.PENANA44BEgw5pxQ
313Please respect copyright.PENANAiv6du17o3b
