Suddenly, Katherine heard a familiar voice from a distance.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAxuydZU26bb
164Please respect copyright.PENANAvSJSasJ4bX
"Hey, Miss Yuzon! Long time no see."
164Please respect copyright.PENANA1pKPXZeM03
164Please respect copyright.PENANAYxt8Svj3a9
164Please respect copyright.PENANA31cuncUswQ
As she turned around, it surprised her of what she saw. "Haze?”
164Please respect copyright.PENANATmWIWLvGtC
164Please respect copyright.PENANAndzNM3EKM2
164Please respect copyright.PENANAmbmLzDZx2M
"Oh, come on. Can you just call me Denzel, please? We've graduated from college already," he complained.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAxvr9nUOLpv
164Please respect copyright.PENANA89XXWAv9CF
164Please respect copyright.PENANAZAOTTLYpyS
“How long have you known each other?” Arianne interrupted as she noticed the closeness of the two.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAms75w7quDo
164Please respect copyright.PENANAImyb9OWGMh
164Please respect copyright.PENANAfA8127OxRM
"Yes!" Denzel replied with enthusiasm, turning back to Katherine.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAiazbyuvpVo
164Please respect copyright.PENANAgw7XhEBUGM
164Please respect copyright.PENANA6faGvi44pT
"That's why I saw you became very close," Arianne, stating of what she have observed from the two in front of her.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAi1hOJ8NCEV
164Please respect copyright.PENANAEeB9fyrBvI
164Please respect copyright.PENANA6bxxpt3NF8
Denzel is just laughed. “How are you two related, anyway?"
164Please respect copyright.PENANAb6s1BDcHcZ
164Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7Igrev2Ns
164Please respect copyright.PENANAGj5uYLvdtk
"We're first degree cousins," Katherine responded to the guy.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAPAegco8TAI
164Please respect copyright.PENANAi8P8M5YseC
164Please respect copyright.PENANAl9SILJPhOK
Denzel shook hands with Katherine's cousin. "Nice to meet you, Arianne."
164Please respect copyright.PENANAZNF46nNcSz
164Please respect copyright.PENANA2VhJ2D60y9
164Please respect copyright.PENANACqJ9UIwiyj
"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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAVz8MAIRV6I
164Please respect copyright.PENANAn3Q3V2JUGa
164Please respect copyright.PENANA32BeO6haDl
The guy turned his attention back to Katherine.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAqJZksx9bxt
164Please respect copyright.PENANAO48YNvY9VI
164Please respect copyright.PENANAT2SAb3zZXo
"Okay! Why are you here, anyway?" she asked to change the flow of conversation.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAzhm2RFnExA
164Please respect copyright.PENANAD8LogC3sXl
164Please respect copyright.PENANAxNTAUGY36k
"Wanna guest?" A guy smiling as he was making questions.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAYm7WuiybQA
164Please respect copyright.PENANAPnOulZXB4X
164Please respect copyright.PENANAP57QlDouva
"I do not know since we haven't talked in a long time, eh," Katherine answered.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAPXI97yv8Tp
164Please respect copyright.PENANAeRFabzfzSq
164Please respect copyright.PENANAh1lDNItAQJ
After graduation, they went on their separate ways and didn't keep in touch, even on social media. Their lives had become more busy.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAvntiWQUuku
164Please respect copyright.PENANAxYKzUeXM1I
164Please respect copyright.PENANA0iNiWyBIat
One smile lingered on the guy's face.. "Well, I'm here for the award."
164Please respect copyright.PENANACJn48fuYsF
164Please respect copyright.PENANAeGMfn4Ubwc
164Please respect copyright.PENANA3DUcekZKtO
Katherine's gaze shifted between Arianne and the guy.. "Don't tell me you-"
164Please respect copyright.PENANA2WRTSpEWvM
164Please respect copyright.PENANAUxDnxArd1M
164Please respect copyright.PENANAY2L02Ae4bo
"I won an award for being one of the best recording artists this year," Denzel said, cutting her off.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAcVxk8LvOWI
164Please respect copyright.PENANA83Y6Fry9df
164Please respect copyright.PENANAc3FRvTCzu9
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANA40G06AIawf
164Please respect copyright.PENANARTdwXTmwxN
164Please respect copyright.PENANAlbVDPocvFj
"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?"
164Please respect copyright.PENANARuqa4XGS7K
164Please respect copyright.PENANA3BdU2TmURe
164Please respect copyright.PENANAc5PjlQUJZK
"I received an award too, for being a best-selling author," she said directly, causing the guy to furrow his brow in surprise.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAMWSrCucfjD
164Please respect copyright.PENANAPr7FH31O4l
164Please respect copyright.PENANASl75saVA81
"Really?" Denzel asked. "I didn't know you desired for writing too. I only knew you liked only singing like me."
164Please respect copyright.PENANA0k5jGTcbLa
164Please respect copyright.PENANAgaqXotQIZ8
164Please respect copyright.PENANA9oCIld1JQr
"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."
164Please respect copyright.PENANAQdSGPXDqLg
164Please respect copyright.PENANAOHTYYmaDVw
164Please respect copyright.PENANAZKZTzXerN2
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAmiafHpU81e
164Please respect copyright.PENANAhrPFF5dkqq
164Please respect copyright.PENANAUwPOfNw8j1
"But you still singing?" asked the guy.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAM0M9A8dacP
164Please respect copyright.PENANAt7asfMw6YZ
164Please respect copyright.PENANAbaEBD5t1aG
"No, I'm more focused on the novels I write, so my voice isn't used for singing anymore," she stated.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAkhqAxjt4mi
164Please respect copyright.PENANA9vHJCjVo60
164Please respect copyright.PENANACyVKQxFrL9
"It's a shame because you had a beautiful voice back then, but I will support you in your writing career."
164Please respect copyright.PENANAPIPGaJ53wF
164Please respect copyright.PENANA1flHOFHpEe
164Please respect copyright.PENANADlaETU6Pib
The girl smiled. "Thank you, and I will also support your music career."
164Please respect copyright.PENANARiSoEVEKAS
164Please respect copyright.PENANAuoycaM6XJm
164Please respect copyright.PENANAqa7EVw4wLB
"Anyway, are you going home now?" the guy asking Katherine.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAfhsJ7rEhPt
164Please respect copyright.PENANAvR4BJKgKFU
164Please respect copyright.PENANAxaYAOxYTmj
"Yes, why?" she responded.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAIjAYGsMVy4
164Please respect copyright.PENANAqT5pxY00Bn
164Please respect copyright.PENANAXnJJJzPwLa
"Don't go yet, because I want to invite you both for a meal outside. My treat!"
164Please respect copyright.PENANAYq64c1JoL9
164Please respect copyright.PENANAAMtDqxJtPm
164Please respect copyright.PENANAdtFRXMkVE2
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAkhttvKONrc
164Please respect copyright.PENANAzGJ5rcaKeh
164Please respect copyright.PENANA9MQWj05vgh
"Sure, but can you please wait for a second? I need to inform them first," Katherine said.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAHDbKD3nkan
164Please respect copyright.PENANAf65JsTRzXG
164Please respect copyright.PENANAqv849RbaJ3
"Who?" Denzel asked with a puzzlement.
164Please respect copyright.PENANA3q2yh9fNir
164Please respect copyright.PENANApK7VsxXGfx
164Please respect copyright.PENANA4bMf6LzK0F
"My personal bodyguards," as Katherine hesitantly mentioned them to Denzel.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAEMWrFWreFj
164Please respect copyright.PENANACMsjSaPaKP
164Please respect copyright.PENANAS2BYzhmBwM
He grinned at her statement, "For real? I didn't expect that you have bodyguards now."
164Please respect copyright.PENANAG2fjkUrzqz
164Please respect copyright.PENANAdzGYe6i4rN
164Please respect copyright.PENANA8tidBNb6dv
"What else do you think? It's my grandfather's preference," Katherine replied.
164Please respect copyright.PENANARC55T1k3Ed
164Please respect copyright.PENANAkZbVmfJWnB
164Please respect copyright.PENANApXmZDlpCrd
"It's so tough when there's someone seems beautiful like you," Denzel teased.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAJSRk5vL7IS
164Please respect copyright.PENANArgwxV9I0rG
164Please respect copyright.PENANAtuN3NIXbNO
"Tzk, whatever, Haze," Katherine reacted with a sigh. "Well, just stay here. I have to talk to them first."
164Please respect copyright.PENANAsm1uzrjbqR
164Please respect copyright.PENANATnJ8OES1tr
164Please respect copyright.PENANAIsCf7tNMf7
"Sure," Denzel replied while looking at the direction Katherine was heading.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAMGlSci8b25
164Please respect copyright.PENANAVYVq6HUw4B
164Please respect copyright.PENANAnA6qf9XGU5
Their conversation didn't last long as the guy had somewhere else to go. They just quickly returned to the mansion.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAHCLWDxtJy9
164Please respect copyright.PENANA3iEe410caA
164Please respect copyright.PENANAKFsSVKx0xp
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAEFMymW0VBj
164Please respect copyright.PENANAdGTxlynskJ
164Please respect copyright.PENANAsRJQzYGoue
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANA8OBi89EpCD
164Please respect copyright.PENANAOotj32XUXU
164Please respect copyright.PENANAs8JAcAa1EB
"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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAju5Na7URLr
164Please respect copyright.PENANAudXsYM8n2R
164Please respect copyright.PENANA66UCzkCWOq
Katherine turned a page before speaking again, "Who?"
164Please respect copyright.PENANAkrpRQ8xIsi
164Please respect copyright.PENANA7dG48WrkE6
164Please respect copyright.PENANAJI7z8833rY
"The guy you were with Arianne." the guy replied.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAWAatgxnuFQ
164Please respect copyright.PENANALSP0rnt197
164Please respect copyright.PENANAzu0iOyBMJz
"Uhh, Haze. What about him?"
164Please respect copyright.PENANAiLgU3sjIUK
164Please respect copyright.PENANAdvNu1ImwTU
164Please respect copyright.PENANAaFjbCz9nZN
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANArTmg70jVbe
164Please respect copyright.PENANAZd5ln42YP2
164Please respect copyright.PENANAEIJcsQVRLl
"I just want to know if you've known each other for a long time or if you just met today."
164Please respect copyright.PENANAYnOQN3ZKpP
164Please respect copyright.PENANACfC0btWDbW
164Please respect copyright.PENANA4CdOFYWYjD
"Haze and I have known each other for a long time. We're old friends from college."
164Please respect copyright.PENANAn7CRbuC4f5
164Please respect copyright.PENANAqEmHaWE0LW
164Please respect copyright.PENANA811hnmRVd1
Gabriel furrowed his brow, analyzing every word that Katherine will say.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAWUzO28rWz2
164Please respect copyright.PENANAmio9vXAmjf
164Please respect copyright.PENANAHwOtT9gWBZ
"Really?"
164Please respect copyright.PENANAS7RCuvSFyg
164Please respect copyright.PENANA3m1i9RoEgO
164Please respect copyright.PENANAWxMie8whGY
The girl paused reading and faced Gabriel. "We just haven't talked much after college. We had our own lives and became more busy."
164Please respect copyright.PENANAeETQhwoNav
164Please respect copyright.PENANAOD64vZxeLM
164Please respect copyright.PENANAmccZyqoTam
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAtxvMsjMAsm
164Please respect copyright.PENANAHKZfvE1jnC
164Please respect copyright.PENANAqQJArJOLvn
"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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAgBIsXRGCiz
164Please respect copyright.PENANAlXEuROTtx4
164Please respect copyright.PENANAEDlSZnpLtr
"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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANApQdIvuhYWv
164Please respect copyright.PENANAtmc6GAYUBA
164Please respect copyright.PENANAkM5ILHTgz7
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANA6rxHMgG2x3
164Please respect copyright.PENANASkMtUjhu8e
164Please respect copyright.PENANA95JGhcHmDe
"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."
164Please respect copyright.PENANAP7XXadKlCH
164Please respect copyright.PENANAxtZlnVHdZu
164Please respect copyright.PENANAYGSI9HxH8u
"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."
164Please respect copyright.PENANAgQF7I48W6D
164Please respect copyright.PENANAXUPOqbuVMW
164Please respect copyright.PENANAswTtEUjodP
After that, Katherine took the lead. She stood up and went back to where she had left her book.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAhw74kHXL8Q
164Please respect copyright.PENANAFzODwIf65m
164Please respect copyright.PENANAHyHAb2YJqb
"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."
164Please respect copyright.PENANAmHP3JqeJas
164Please respect copyright.PENANA37tKEWXpi7
164Please respect copyright.PENANA0qSA4P1ksV
Katherine still annoyed when she walked away. She didn't want to argue with Gabriel anymore. It would lead nowhere.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAtps7LXC9gv
164Please respect copyright.PENANAmdtTkFK8nQ
164Please respect copyright.PENANAsrdDZB09vl
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAvvTJQY8bPL
164Please respect copyright.PENANAIeeC3IqR6T

164Please respect copyright.PENANA0jVUxCcTwV
164Please respect copyright.PENANADEZse4gx4v
164Please respect copyright.PENANAahd58tYQB9
Katherine: Yes, because I'm also getting bored here in my grandfather's mansion. I also want to feel new environment.

Yeah, see you tomorrow!
164Please respect copyright.PENANACrvhspUDnk
164Please respect copyright.PENANAOglQG6Qp2O
164Please respect copyright.PENANAYod7rfYITI
After their conversation, Katherine immediately went to Arianne to tell her about the conversation she had with Denzel.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAtRoQGkIBdo
164Please respect copyright.PENANAAMVN9foXwP
164Please respect copyright.PENANAFW3GtGThrQ
"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?"
164Please respect copyright.PENANAAlLex4KetG
164Please respect copyright.PENANAETIprQI917
164Please respect copyright.PENANA4FruTFNiNm
"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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAtlYsLw6ZXs
164Please respect copyright.PENANAhh7wuUb2Wu
164Please respect copyright.PENANAYM5NHX9p9v
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAUYKpNT88yU
164Please respect copyright.PENANA8vIAAgYbyq
164Please respect copyright.PENANAmIFUpJB2Xv
"Ah!" she got startled by what she saw, so he quickly composed herself.
164Please respect copyright.PENANA6uJqmtpOKY
164Please respect copyright.PENANA1Vj79tfGPC
164Please respect copyright.PENANAGAHCxJsKpk
"Just a moment, let me change," Gabriel replied with embarassment.
164Please respect copyright.PENANALDsJ8w2cYD
164Please respect copyright.PENANAYmzYpNQ231
164Please respect copyright.PENANAldILXM2t0r
He quickly went back inside to change his clothes.
164Please respect copyright.PENANASeYTfl6oL8
164Please respect copyright.PENANAkALiJDaja6
164Please respect copyright.PENANA74kwD0dABn
"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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAzyzuc6vczM
164Please respect copyright.PENANAJtfXue2HON
164Please respect copyright.PENANAmxYAe1am1i
"Why did you come here?" Gabriel asked.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAfaH2TzwaTF
164Please respect copyright.PENANAfGEoNCqT0c
164Please respect copyright.PENANAM4bqfCCcn3
"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."
164Please respect copyright.PENANAReKxRtGtWG
164Please respect copyright.PENANA2YAC0nhG2c
164Please respect copyright.PENANA5HbZ5j21dT
Katherine put up a convincing act. She even added a little playfulness at the end to persuade Gabriel.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAGHBYsCTaig
164Please respect copyright.PENANAi1LECEoMmw
164Please respect copyright.PENANAOEsHBFxacu
It took a few seconds before the guy answered, "Why is the plan so sudden?"
164Please respect copyright.PENANA7JHCnjv2M0
164Please respect copyright.PENANA1g0cpalL7x
164Please respect copyright.PENANACFkF0YSZcv
"I just thought of it earlier," Katherine reasoned while looking straight at him.
164Please respect copyright.PENANACU9kTBzjrr
164Please respect copyright.PENANA1Qi16FeUmP
164Please respect copyright.PENANAMVT4PyjMyZ
"Okay, fine. I agree to go for an outing tomorrow," Gabriel replied with a certainty.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAFPl6ijWptD
164Please respect copyright.PENANAVSRBLFHMSn
164Please respect copyright.PENANAVZRM2LPtQ8
There's nothing probably in granting Katherine's request, even if it's just once. He felt some pity for the girl.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAUgZt6AStbg
164Please respect copyright.PENANAShYI7CTLBv
164Please respect copyright.PENANAhobTFksQ1X
"Thank you for agreeing," Katherine's smile widened at Gabriel's consent.
164Please respect copyright.PENANA5Gk07a0q4J
164Please respect copyright.PENANARnNx68Fb4b
164Please respect copyright.PENANAnFDSsx8mZi

164Please respect copyright.PENANAfN6YUYSk2L
164Please respect copyright.PENANAGNWjNJLjTm
164Please respect copyright.PENANAqJpaLwj0hL
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAfihDofCHpB
164Please respect copyright.PENANAczXtAiFGNT
