Suddenly, Katherine heard a familiar voice from a distance.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAgfhRFoiNBT
314Please respect copyright.PENANAXzG826vCn0
"Hey, Miss Yuzon! Long time no see."
314Please respect copyright.PENANADLM23gU4Di
314Please respect copyright.PENANAnMbP69FMhu
314Please respect copyright.PENANACHgmC9uOKq
As she turned around, it surprised her of what she saw. "Haze?”
314Please respect copyright.PENANAqksYqXT6XK
314Please respect copyright.PENANAnDIDlazb3P
314Please respect copyright.PENANAekutn7HFer
"Oh, come on. Can you just call me Denzel, please? We've graduated from college already," he complained.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAydM9B8qvMS
314Please respect copyright.PENANA6wdGSxXRtD
314Please respect copyright.PENANASr8MNAQPUR
“How long have you known each other?” Arianne interrupted as she noticed the closeness of the two.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAjA2PUHQNda
314Please respect copyright.PENANAl9J8xKSYvP
314Please respect copyright.PENANAq2x3vcS830
"Yes!" Denzel replied with enthusiasm, turning back to Katherine.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAu8Vzoqbdm0
314Please respect copyright.PENANAlliXTfFUpY
314Please respect copyright.PENANAmUthYrjKHe
"That's why I saw you became very close," Arianne, stating of what she have observed from the two in front of her.
314Please respect copyright.PENANA4dbdJwvYfU
314Please respect copyright.PENANANisDdoLshh
314Please respect copyright.PENANAIM2lu72x5Q
Denzel is just laughed. “How are you two related, anyway?"
314Please respect copyright.PENANAnCBP5VNzoV
314Please respect copyright.PENANA0eic64zEIR
314Please respect copyright.PENANA13xEUrgnsx
"We're first degree cousins," Katherine responded to the guy.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAl4zzjAxVWL
314Please respect copyright.PENANA815oxVnGJm
314Please respect copyright.PENANACjrSC2EkXm
Denzel shook hands with Katherine's cousin. "Nice to meet you, Arianne."
314Please respect copyright.PENANAwCoABUl34k
314Please respect copyright.PENANAI1yh1dNNqe
314Please respect copyright.PENANAYMu4DDQ2NQ
"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.
314Please respect copyright.PENANANK9mhHnetz
314Please respect copyright.PENANAiRbi7arEkr
314Please respect copyright.PENANAwiIrvObdDQ
The guy turned his attention back to Katherine.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAegVuDo0SLP
314Please respect copyright.PENANAyHrymYSoyA
314Please respect copyright.PENANAc3CM3h7tkr
"Okay! Why are you here, anyway?" she asked to change the flow of conversation.
314Please respect copyright.PENANA2cL7HngtQE
314Please respect copyright.PENANASQzishri0D
314Please respect copyright.PENANArWA4pk5GcA

314Please respect copyright.PENANAgGYng4X52S
314Please respect copyright.PENANAkJLCuVROim
314Please respect copyright.PENANATLBkFMGOmt
"I do not know since we haven't talked in a long time, eh," Katherine answered.
314Please respect copyright.PENANA4A8nzJFCVe
314Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7vDa8NwU8
314Please respect copyright.PENANAYb90rjv8oV
After graduation, they went on their separate ways and didn't keep in touch, even on social media. Their lives had become more busy.
314Please respect copyright.PENANALijMNRwi5N
314Please respect copyright.PENANAgoFutrC0Wp
314Please respect copyright.PENANAUQuyf7PeFq
One smile lingered on the guy's face.. "Well, I'm here for the award."
314Please respect copyright.PENANALAtoqlryCE
314Please respect copyright.PENANAb9AtQBeRD5
314Please respect copyright.PENANAkhPBWF8xT7
Katherine's gaze shifted between Arianne and the guy.. "Don't tell me you-"
314Please respect copyright.PENANAOLe1BnjHWy
314Please respect copyright.PENANA0B1CNcyd7A
314Please respect copyright.PENANANJaSqDAjrj
"I won an award for being one of the best recording artists this year," Denzel said, cutting her off.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAiEP1INzAVu
314Please respect copyright.PENANAENnNiVTWkT
314Please respect copyright.PENANAk2yYzjeDPg
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.
314Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZVAHHnW7b
314Please respect copyright.PENANA6zKil4cOkx
314Please respect copyright.PENANA3eD3noMuYb
"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?"
314Please respect copyright.PENANAdYNyy3KAIm
314Please respect copyright.PENANADoKXDssWbC
314Please respect copyright.PENANARq7TPMuwL3
"I received an award too, for being a best-selling author," she said directly, causing the guy to furrow his brow in surprise.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAkMJwagIPXN
314Please respect copyright.PENANAkwM0DEx7oX
314Please respect copyright.PENANAqkJcwKZhe2
"Really?" Denzel asked. "I didn't know you desired for writing too. I only knew you liked only singing like me."
314Please respect copyright.PENANAEVXPEYYko5
314Please respect copyright.PENANAAgi0z8FpBo
314Please respect copyright.PENANA5CIwbqov6d
"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."
314Please respect copyright.PENANAbbF3IojXh0
314Please respect copyright.PENANA1q7tUkCmaK
314Please respect copyright.PENANAa8F80apPlN
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.
314Please respect copyright.PENANA7joV8YencB
314Please respect copyright.PENANASkYAasmQ0f
314Please respect copyright.PENANAwNKQIqDlpT
"But you still singing?" asked the guy.
314Please respect copyright.PENANACMeKwnzJdE
314Please respect copyright.PENANAVuPxyWYH06
314Please respect copyright.PENANAiQa7t9xM1F
"No, I'm more focused on the novels I write, so my voice isn't used for singing anymore," she stated.
314Please respect copyright.PENANA2APD0hYYFh
314Please respect copyright.PENANASLYCNINwCm
314Please respect copyright.PENANAlED65ezDMW
"It's a shame because you had a beautiful voice back then, but I will support you in your writing career."
314Please respect copyright.PENANAu66ZCD27IS
314Please respect copyright.PENANAxlRmVGRAnN
314Please respect copyright.PENANA0BMjKlobML
The girl smiled. "Thank you, and I will also support your music career."
314Please respect copyright.PENANAkZHmjuvT56
314Please respect copyright.PENANAJlmjJvjvd1
314Please respect copyright.PENANA94LkyXCjD9
"Anyway, are you going home now?" the guy asking Katherine.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAVOsQqJLY1W
314Please respect copyright.PENANAajHZkhRdb5
314Please respect copyright.PENANA4T8GIDdcgj
"Yes, why?" she responded.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAciEUK7yM8V
314Please respect copyright.PENANA9vfMS1yhnp
314Please respect copyright.PENANA55OyODSb2f
"Don't go yet, because I want to invite you both for a meal outside. My treat!"
314Please respect copyright.PENANAE5zDuPZ76Z
314Please respect copyright.PENANAYjBej37umT
314Please respect copyright.PENANAy2lCevMw6F
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.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAO4a2I8UpZK
314Please respect copyright.PENANAgkQWe0JvLa
314Please respect copyright.PENANAwxybwTV225
"Sure, but can you please wait for a second? I need to inform them first," Katherine said.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAMl51LDHH5O
314Please respect copyright.PENANAJFHqI6Jk3V
314Please respect copyright.PENANAESE6lagSeu
"Who?" Denzel asked with a puzzlement.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAahEyb4PTF3
314Please respect copyright.PENANACRGSP2dn5t
314Please respect copyright.PENANAx0c2Ro42ts
"My personal bodyguards," as Katherine hesitantly mentioned them to Denzel.
314Please respect copyright.PENANALANK1V0PQ1
314Please respect copyright.PENANAHlTZ2B1SZn
314Please respect copyright.PENANAUflwIVmBok
He grinned at her statement, "For real? I didn't expect that you have bodyguards now."
314Please respect copyright.PENANA0mj6HW6jSl
314Please respect copyright.PENANAkRiTdnDoCb
314Please respect copyright.PENANAI1i6pULoHw
"What else do you think? It's my grandfather's preference," Katherine replied.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAu8SnIZqNHo
314Please respect copyright.PENANANTbQEQ4I7q
314Please respect copyright.PENANAhRIomEYj7y
"It's so tough when there's someone seems beautiful like you," Denzel teased.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAx2VMSsvIXY
314Please respect copyright.PENANArHqQYk29MP
314Please respect copyright.PENANAIQlWcNsd5z
"Tzk, whatever, Haze," Katherine reacted with a sigh. "Well, just stay here. I have to talk to them first."
314Please respect copyright.PENANAZPSCQzuZ4k
314Please respect copyright.PENANAyaZcXMsBsg
314Please respect copyright.PENANAyg0R0kpl3A
"Sure," Denzel replied while looking at the direction Katherine was heading.
314Please respect copyright.PENANApw1EHELkq5
314Please respect copyright.PENANARvSDcanWj1
314Please respect copyright.PENANAGtHicGWX9h
Their conversation didn't last long as the guy had somewhere else to go. They just quickly returned to the mansion.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAM2rwL6clHr
314Please respect copyright.PENANAZBroSnz4yj
314Please respect copyright.PENANAKs5e5UJP2M
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.
314Please respect copyright.PENANATApY9nEgIt
314Please respect copyright.PENANAQEwmXWGuQI
314Please respect copyright.PENANATFD6jP8B3i
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.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAI5esEtRWry
314Please respect copyright.PENANAt0gJeUxVT9
314Please respect copyright.PENANA9pf08ek5bs
"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.
314Please respect copyright.PENANALjJywQ70Ub
314Please respect copyright.PENANAVrToHdeOnu
314Please respect copyright.PENANAs43Fg7x1u0
Katherine turned a page before speaking again, "Who?"
314Please respect copyright.PENANA5Vr1bZUd6N
314Please respect copyright.PENANAR9mwFleI3A
314Please respect copyright.PENANAzjlUjLilmx
"The guy you were with Arianne." the guy replied.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAnffoOnSfbc
314Please respect copyright.PENANAXsgaykBWAQ
314Please respect copyright.PENANAypqPk4FBOk
"Uhh, Haze. What about him?"
314Please respect copyright.PENANA2JfpsxpLcq
314Please respect copyright.PENANAEg4ED8RCIZ
314Please respect copyright.PENANAXgDxb41Oi1
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.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAGfHW6d6SY0
314Please respect copyright.PENANAjH8aXxe5JH
314Please respect copyright.PENANAoYuBNyTmoK
"I just want to know if you've known each other for a long time or if you just met today."
314Please respect copyright.PENANAJZQml3C0e6
314Please respect copyright.PENANAskaaJ2iWVH
314Please respect copyright.PENANAfTaW6HHyiO
"Haze and I have known each other for a long time. We're old friends from college."
314Please respect copyright.PENANAPbw1hhyqnb
314Please respect copyright.PENANABDWyDRG7bL
314Please respect copyright.PENANAskXGfaQI18
Gabriel furrowed his brow, analyzing every word that Katherine will say.
314Please respect copyright.PENANA44DuEiGAI8
314Please respect copyright.PENANAfObeYb7Kg7
314Please respect copyright.PENANA9kvUZthLXz
"Really?"
314Please respect copyright.PENANAaNwp1l27Vw
314Please respect copyright.PENANA1BtGxDYXLE
314Please respect copyright.PENANAH126ZJaJEn
The girl paused reading and faced Gabriel. "We just haven't talked much after college. We had our own lives and became more busy."
314Please respect copyright.PENANADcikYLaSLI
314Please respect copyright.PENANArT5GAeLBvm
314Please respect copyright.PENANAIJA3NudUT7
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.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAsazVhyN9Ll
314Please respect copyright.PENANAqyWrdKMJOU
314Please respect copyright.PENANACwSIP7koXi
"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.
314Please respect copyright.PENANA1bX7e7bC9G
314Please respect copyright.PENANA9JgpRLaIXd
314Please respect copyright.PENANA8871qtm4Po
"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.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAmUT7fDMKUl
314Please respect copyright.PENANAcv98o33n4c
314Please respect copyright.PENANAW6ahtIL6B5
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.
314Please respect copyright.PENANARWr1PH0gb5
314Please respect copyright.PENANAryq1NsHMJ8
314Please respect copyright.PENANAxJ3xrkJvlh
"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."
314Please respect copyright.PENANANPg1bHfh5t
314Please respect copyright.PENANAcKdzgpJLdh
314Please respect copyright.PENANAiL93D49tls
"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."
314Please respect copyright.PENANAcABDTCB8AB
314Please respect copyright.PENANAo1cRxwQKPx
314Please respect copyright.PENANAQf9ZI25Nlu
After that, Katherine took the lead. She stood up and went back to where she had left her book.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAOSQuVIs4My
314Please respect copyright.PENANAbON85j0dEB
314Please respect copyright.PENANAWqQutF1GML
"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."
314Please respect copyright.PENANAxlOdKBJpY6
314Please respect copyright.PENANATulU9AO9RB
314Please respect copyright.PENANAi8exrrZ4OF
Katherine still annoyed when she walked away. She didn't want to argue with Gabriel anymore. It would lead nowhere.
314Please respect copyright.PENANALta45HU4fq
314Please respect copyright.PENANAcaYC5cj766
314Please respect copyright.PENANA1Sn4nNLmRF
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.
314Please respect copyright.PENANA7zTyZG5lWt
314Please respect copyright.PENANAOXfpmvSWdK

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

314Please respect copyright.PENANAPl9C5RA0GZ
314Please respect copyright.PENANAmfACoem2O7
314Please respect copyright.PENANA1Z4LJWXSg3
After their conversation, Katherine immediately went to Arianne to tell her about the conversation she had with Denzel.
314Please respect copyright.PENANA3J5wzKbm1e
314Please respect copyright.PENANAaVpvWHtOHb
314Please respect copyright.PENANAI6zTUUFsH2
"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?"
314Please respect copyright.PENANAROJ2WM78Gh
314Please respect copyright.PENANAHBDwGM8GIc
314Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2H2lo6i6v
"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.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAWuZOzWHe5m

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.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAnk94Ud329T
314Please respect copyright.PENANA58pWzOTcx8
314Please respect copyright.PENANATV2Nbgp4IC
"Ah!" she got startled by what she saw, so he quickly composed herself.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAyJ6CeHm1BH
314Please respect copyright.PENANA233NVw2BO1
314Please respect copyright.PENANAB9Gwvtloge
"Just a moment, let me change," Gabriel replied with embarassment.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAnBFtqtHuOe
314Please respect copyright.PENANA7LLyQZUXxD
314Please respect copyright.PENANACRmbvpHv6G
He quickly went back inside to change his clothes.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAazVhlT86lr
314Please respect copyright.PENANABj58RFp9NS
314Please respect copyright.PENANAVeU3avcPc4
"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.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAv9Vg4MBms4
314Please respect copyright.PENANAOYE0tSISP9
314Please respect copyright.PENANA1J7GqlLeAA
"Why did you come here?" Gabriel asked.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAu7q9Opf8Mq
314Please respect copyright.PENANACvzI4xdVgg
314Please respect copyright.PENANAfjpVoavio1
"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."
314Please respect copyright.PENANAyvZPRRmnn2
314Please respect copyright.PENANA2eblzsku0M
314Please respect copyright.PENANAE2d1M4i1Gx
Katherine put up a convincing act. She even added a little playfulness at the end to persuade Gabriel.
314Please respect copyright.PENANADTjXhC6T2K
314Please respect copyright.PENANANjt2EpGrEV
314Please respect copyright.PENANAF7Ehf0POKi
It took a few seconds before the guy answered, "Why is the plan so sudden?"
314Please respect copyright.PENANAMqgtyKGYNa
314Please respect copyright.PENANA8r0EwocaZ8
314Please respect copyright.PENANACzWh8YbGOa
"I just thought of it earlier," Katherine reasoned while looking straight at him.
314Please respect copyright.PENANAff1aOIMjOp
314Please respect copyright.PENANA8ehJ32B8eA
314Please respect copyright.PENANAaQkE4XtZj1
"Okay, fine. I agree to go for an outing tomorrow," Gabriel replied with a certainty.
314Please respect copyright.PENANArxul9w41KQ
314Please respect copyright.PENANA8mGkSNtKMv
314Please respect copyright.PENANAjCXikRkUEl
There's nothing probably in granting Katherine's request, even if it's just once. He felt some pity for the girl.
314Please respect copyright.PENANApdA1dKzaRl
314Please respect copyright.PENANAMFn1OJAVfW
314Please respect copyright.PENANAp671KoFlev

314Please respect copyright.PENANA2597uHXuvP
314Please respect copyright.PENANAnwDkwnjQh1
314Please respect copyright.PENANAfbcw4ToFxv

314Please respect copyright.PENANALl92zvjMmX
314Please respect copyright.PENANA4cHdoEFJQp
314Please respect copyright.PENANAr0dQxQJFc1
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.
314Please respect copyright.PENANA71pqN9eNMi
