Chapter 21

"It's delicious when it's free!" After dinner, Krystaleen immediately commented. Even when a woman is acting like she doesn't earn millions.

"Your face is thick!" Ysa immediately blocked because it was the one who was free now. It no longer pays them because it naturally reserves the entire beach resort for their bonding.

They are currently taking a walk on the beach. The three were walking ahead while Kai and I were in the back. Lourine periodically looks around at the band as a couple and catches them taking pictures with her white canon DSLR.

"Airdrop the picture to me later, uh!" Shamia was surprised when the man next to her spoke.

"Sure! With pleasure." Lou said then wink at her.

"Post it on your IG, Kai uh! I'll check it later." Krysta instigated.

Kaiser scratches his forehead before answering. "Uh... I don't have any social media accounts."

"What? For real?" she asked in shock.

"Yes! But if it's needed to post our pictures I gladly make one." Kaiser answer that earned teases from her friends.

"Cheesy eh!" Ysa commented. "I'm sorry I just found out," she said accompanied by laughter.

Until the friends got home to the hotel, the girls didn't touch Kaiser anymore, as if they didn't know that yet. But the truth is that the man became more open with his companions, not like the last time that it was so quiet that if Krysta didn't talk, she wouldn't speak.

Maybe because he's the bodyguard but not now, so Kaiser has already shown his true personality. It's not like before that every move seems to be numbered. Maybe for being an ex-military guy.

When she entered the hotel room, she immediately went to the bathroom to take a bath. She feels so stinky because of sweat because they walk on the seashore. She didn't spend much time in the bathroom because her roommate would also use it.

She was drying her hair with a small towel when the young man greeted her and immediately hugged her. What the heck?

"Is there any problem?" she wondered to the man because all of a sudden he would hug her.

"Can we stay here for another day?"

What? They'll be going to extend the vacation? "Why?"

"I just want to be with you even for just a day. Just the two of us ..."

"But I have a lot of work in the office. I will be piled up with papers there again."

"Please ... maybe when we get back to the city I won't be able to approach you again, I won't be able to talk to you, and I won't be able to hug you!" he said with a cracked voice.

Is he crying? Shamia's question was answered when she felt the wetness of her shoulder with only a thin cloth covering it.

"What are you saying? Why? W-why?" she was confused by the man's actions. They've been talking well lately.

"Your bodyguards will be returned to your family and you will be locked up again. I can't approach you and talk to you again. Will I come back just to look at you?"

"Of course not! We're going to meet even we're going back to Manila." She explained to the man and gave him a tighter hug. "Have I now realized that love still weighs more than anger? No! We will still meet."

Shamia saw the glow in his eyes because of what she said. "Really? How about your parents?"

"They don't interfere in my decisions Kai, you know that! And if they interfere, I will fight you! " he hugged her very tightly again.

Embarrassed, the wind didn't even pass between the two of them.

"I love you, babe."

"I love you too, Kai." And with that, she kisses him with passion and longing. But it was interrupted when they heard a knock on the door.

"That's a nuisance ..." she laughed at the man's punch.

But she immediately went to the door to open the nuisance. He also immediately returned and pushed her towards the bed.

"Or what? Who's that?" Shamia asked as she lay on his chest.

"Ysa just said goodbye to them to travel home first. Are we?"

"Let's go home too. I know you have a job too."

"It's okay for me to be absent for even one more day, my uncle will understand that, and then the CEO is with me so it's okay," he said still grinning.

It was courageous because Ysa took the vacation. The woman is also what this CEO says is with. At DM Entertainment it works which is, Ysa runs it.

A few minutes later the couple came to a peaceful silence. Enjoy each other's presence. The man hugged her tightly as if she would disappear anytime. She lay down on the man's chest and listened to Kaiser's rapid heartbeat. It seemed to coincide with the intensity of Shamia's heartbeat.

"Babe?" later it cracked into silence.

"About the past, I just want to clear my name to you, and uh," he's hesitating.

"No-no. Stop right there Kaiser. I don't want to -"

"Babe, hear me first huh!" Kaiser said to get up from the bed so even he woke up as well. "I just want to clarify that ---"

"No! That's done, babe. I don't want to hear about the past. That's done! Let's move on... let's understand the future, please I don't want to hear about what happened!" restrained the maiden from properly explaining it. "We're happy again now so please ... let's leave the problem we had in the past huh!" she said then touched Kaiser's face. She caressed it as he watched her fondly. "I love you!"

She understands this agrees with his will. "I love you too."

Shamia was the first to kiss her boyfriend. She wanted to let the man know how much she missed him.

"Ysa talked to your parents to let you go on vacation. And she reasoned that the resort is reserved only for you and nothing bad will happen to you because he will assign guards for the safety of your friends."

"Liar!"

They are currently traveling home to the city after they extend another day. Kai tells her the tactic of how Ysabella allowed her parents to walk without bodyguards. So turn around and ease them as he says goodbye. They simply do not know that the person they are avoiding being with and see is an accomplice in the plan.

Kaiser laughed. "I was shocked when he invited me to go on vacation with his friends. At first, I wondered why I would be included. Then he says he wants to be Cupid. So he is working on a way for us to get along. "

"And why did you follow me on the trip?" she suddenly remembered.

"I followed you when you left your parents' mansion. I am outside the gate waiting for you to come out and travel to be followed and watched over you at the same time."

"It's a good thing I got to know Ysa's car that you're using. Alas, if I don't call the police and report you."

"I did everything I could so you wouldn't notice me following you. It was just unlucky and you noticed I hadn't even arrived at the resort yet."

They're decided to convoy on the trip because even if he wanted to drive her, he said she couldn't leave Ysa's car at the resort because his cousin would get angry. So now they talk on the phone. Her cell phone was connected to the car speaker so she could hear the man's voice loudly. It allegedly uses a blue tooth earpiece.

"Mia baby ... drive slowly!"

She just laughed at what he said. "Not really!"

They soon arrived at the mansion Shamia owned. She no longer went to the hacienda to avoid the sermon and investigate from her parent. She can't afford to lie to her mom especially that her mother is emotional because she is pregnant.

"Come in first Kai." She's with the man when she got out of the car, he did the same. One of her men immediately took the car and parked it in the garage at the back of the mansion.

"I'm going to work now, maybe Madam CEO will fire me. You know already!" jokingly he said then rode again and drove away.

Shamia entered the house with a smile. She's even surprised when she saw Yaya Leny standing in the middle of the living room with a big smile on her face. "Looks like you greeted that man ah? Your face is clear."

"Hmm," it just made her smile. "I'll just go up to the bedroom, I'll go to work tomorrow because it's already noon."

Yaya took her suitcase and carried it as they went upstairs. "Congratulations to you because your face is beautiful! It doesn't always seem sad and thinking."

Shamia nodded. "All right, thank you!"

Yaya Leny nodded then walked down the stairs. She used to volunteer to help her fix the clothes but since she told her that she can do it and doesn't need help.

The day and night passed quickly. She is currently dressing and preparing to go to the office. Many papers need her attention.

She was going downstairs when her phone rang.

"Hello?" She answered it without even checking who the caller is.

"Good morning babe!"

"Oh! Hi"

"Are you scared?" he said on the other line accompanied by a loud laugh. "Office already?"

"Nope. I'm still here at home." Shamia said as she continued down the stairs. And went straight to the kitchen.

"All right, Mia baby, eat first, I'll call you later."

She quickly finished the meal and brushed her teeth then went outside the mansion. She was startled by the car parked and waiting. The Lexus LM Minivan.

Why this car? There are many others in the garage. "Is there no other car in the garage?" Shamia asked the driver standing on the side of the car.

"Ma’am, today is carwash day and the day to inspect your cars, Ma’am. This is the only van that does not need to be inspected because it is not always used." Long explanation from her driver.

There are days when vehicles are inspected at the same time for the safety of the user. But the simultaneous carwash? Not really but why even now think of them?

Shamia looked at the watch on her arm. It was only fifteen minutes and she was too late to enter the office.

No choice. Shamia got into the car she had been avoiding for a long time. She used to love to use this car because of its comfort, but after the accident, she couldn't even look at it because.

But maybe time heals all wounds.

Now that she can talk to Kaiser again like before, maybe it's also time to forget all the bad things that happened in the past.

THIRTY minutes later she arrived at the company lobby. She was greeted by the receptionist.

"Good morning Mom, your friends are in your office." She informed the boss.

"Okay, thank you."

She only expected to see Krysta inside the office but she was surprised when even Kaiser was there as well. She was sitting on her swivel chair behind the table.

"What the!"

Kaiser immediately stood up to greet her. "Good morning again Mia baby. How was the trip?" he said as he simply walked over to her and dropped her arms around her waist.

"Breezy moves cousin but we saw!"

Lourine and Krysta laughed as they lay on the sofa. Even Kaiser grinned as well.

"So how are you?" she avoids the topic.

"How are you?" Krysta immediately asked again to settle down on the sofa. She even hit Lourine with a pillow to make her sit up as well. The two even got engaged and then turned their attention back to the two of them.

Shamia sat on the single sofa near Ysa. Kaiser sat down next to Lourine.

"What's the real score between the two of you?" Ysa ask seriously.

"We're together," Kaiser answered.

"The confidence eh!" Krysta interject. "We're asking Shamia!"

"Yes." Her answer was short. Confirming their relationship.

"Huh? What yes?" Krysta's confused curiosity.

"You're slow Krystaleen." Lourine's teasing who received Krysta's nape that it reached. "Yes means they are together! They are okay! They're back! Oh, what else do you not understand? "

Krysta stood up and reached for Lourine's hair again and the two tugged on the sofa. Fortunately, Kaiser was able to move between the two. Otherwise, the man would have been caught in the chaos of the two madwomen who were now rolling on the carpeted floor of her office as they fell from the sofa.

"Let them go, let's go back to the interrogation," Ysa said. Dismissing the presence of the two. "Are you okay, Mia? Aren't you just surprised?"

"Ysabella what kind of question is that!?" Kaiser smirked at the cousin.

"Oh, you know he was forced, it's good that you're clear on us!"

"Babe tell her you're not just forced, tell her!" Kaiser said, still shaking Shamia's arms.

"Yes. True! I'm not just forced. I just learned that love weighs more than anger. And I want to move on from the past."

"Didn't you pass Kaiser too?" Krysta replied that the tweak was over.

"Yes. He's my past,"

"Babe!?"

"Present and future." she continued. That earned oh's and ye's from her friends.

Kaiser immediately hugged her while sobbing. "I love you."

"Cry, baby!" Ysa yelled but they ignored it.

"I love you too baby"
