252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50ybtfa3kQ
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtQBH4u6Su
"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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHWOL4Jp4Z
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWvy0Nm4jd

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu8qPyE1RM
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLEYSVY5Sg
After graduation, they went on their separate ways and didn't keep in touch, even on social media. Their lives had become more busy.

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMqpK9SDeQ

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQaPJN2TDZ
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcChdebznS7
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AQoaUK44S
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkFV9LMFTN
"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?"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwZIpVxUbi
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFV15WSVcO

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.

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTak6T8kUE0
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2azIzG79y
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt64GpWjwC

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAfHGbbBZt
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gFyAFqIL8
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVsXl45HHd
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRUVpDRmig
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.

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKgLN5kwVU
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrehGJ7VfE
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvvoVKXXMY
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.

The girl paused reading and faced Gabriel. "We just haven't talked much after college. We had our own lives and became more busy."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuySWLDqwD
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh8Eg7zCw3
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKshxmDsA4i
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u1LI0kdZ9
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrojWBvFA7
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbY9SPJKA4

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp9pPq48eO
"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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTx1c9xzRB
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTQLDWspXj
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HNmEblXD0
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.

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF0jEMVAbE
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2LeQZVJXR
"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."

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxEWIYQEbL

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.
