83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5h13XpxId
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwdObDToYr
"Oh, come on. Can you just call me Denzel, please? We've graduated from college already," he complained.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV9bfGKRdf
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsEFLPaCVC

“How long have you known each other?” Arianne interrupted as she noticed the closeness of the two.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z5Ldxlfze
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1WvClBRXI
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpHggiEoqu

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOgKLVG1qK
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBIWu5ARgD
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDWkcT3bo3
"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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEcu0djiZI
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y4DPzpy27
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSTvZbb56O

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYvjhMOpDV
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJSW8KCfzL
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRTRTdLbSQ
After graduation, they went on their separate ways and didn't keep in touch, even on social media. Their lives had become more busy.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGVjIg5NMu
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDejaBtl7Jx
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVdmTHTNhi

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sk08fYoU1
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOcExyO6PU
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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYkbGoFrNs
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTNpJUqyJr
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8tPsasKv7
"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?"
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7cCFpVxiG
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1QFcBU0Yc
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6h2qH2DuN

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4meRdurdI

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzIaSceACp
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhQTWZmjjk

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREPN60IYry
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTF7ZeMt2H
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g8bZN0WsD

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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1jQKYih9T
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5NFf6co1w
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOFLr8RdL4
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.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9trDub8aXd
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcynkc4p0ZV
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.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKvlv8lEQi
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7zwgbfePy
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUuAdvUB2d
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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4KX7rkuzN
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1bPLNTwFt

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxUjEOeEyJ
"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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3gz1zKTqk
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HnjkJYAZc
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXTqeYqUqY
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.

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3ib4DK8ty
"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."
