284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIukTUyMNi
"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.

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.

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRBhghoGrf
"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?"

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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAssTa78KPK
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01WKPF4Z4L

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAV3Dm95Ks
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEPHK0Bk6N
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.

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXd2iYBmW0
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKGKctgtRR
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.

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTuxo1ewQg
"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."

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.

He was only doing this now to accommodate Katherine, and after that, there would be nothing more. He didn't need to give in to pity and sympathy because it would only lead to failure in helping his family. The income he earned from this job was much greater than his previous which was more difficult and also put his life at risk.
