My bodyguard is a Handsome Bum
The Cunning Man

Miranda looked straight at me.

"Hi how are you?" Greet the man with a smile.

"Sir Jeden where did you come from?"

Jeden Lee, he is a director in the marketing division of Miracle Group. The 26-year-old man was Miranda's age friend during high school and senior Lara different majors at the campus first. Jeden can be said to be quite handsome and 180 centimeters, only...

"You've been Miranda for a long time, I've been waiting for you."

"I'm sorry I was a little late because there was a road repair so I had to turn around" explained Mira.

"You drive yourself?" Ask Van.

"Yes, my father is no longer allowed to work by Miss Lara."

"Lara fired him?"

"Oh open it so, said Miss my father is old and lately often declining health, so he did not have the heart to hire him and tell him to rest alone."

"Then who's driving Lara?"

"That's nothing to worry about, Miss already has her own bodyguard."

"What's? Personal bodyguard?" Jeden remembered his last conversation with Lara yesterday via a short message. There Lara had discussed about personal bodyguards. I became curious about Lara's personal bodyguard, what was she like?

Mira patted the dumbstruck Jeden. "Mr Jeden!"

"Why Mira?"

"We must leave immediately, Miss is already waiting for us at the restaurant."

"Oh yeah you're right, I almost forgot" Jeden said.

**

Lara had arrived at the restaurant about ten minutes ago. He is now accompanied by Van waiting for the arrival of Mira and Jeden. Van just sat straight while continuing to look at Lara who had just turned back the menu without ordering. To be honest Lara did that not without reason, she was deliberately busy looking at the menu book so that she did not come into direct contact with Van, considering that the incident this morning made Lara a bit awkward.

"Ehem, Miss why did you just flip the menu book back without any message?"

"Pulse... That's— I'm waiting for Miranda to just come by the message."

Van thought it seemed like Lara was a bit uncomfortable with him at this time, seen from the look in her eyes that seemed to avoid looking directly at him.

"Then, then..." Van moved out of his chair.

"Eh, where are you going?"

"I'm allowed to go to the toilet and smoke for a while, can't you Miss?"

"Oh, yasudah."

Van leaves Lara alone.

"Van suddenly permission left, is it because I'm tired of sitting with me?" Lara looks unhappy to be left behind by Van.

About two minutes later, Miranda and Jeden arrived. The two men approached Lara.

"Oh you guys have come, please sit down I just wanted to order some food."

"Hai Lara, good to see you again" Jeden said.

The three ordered food first before starting to talk about work.

Before long, the food orders of the three of them arrived, and the conversation began over lunch.

"So Jeden, how's your job in Tokyo?" Tanya Lara opened the discussion.

"Walk good, but— can we not directly talk about work, I mean why not start with a casual question first."

Lara gulped down her drink. "Unfortunately I'm not interested in discussing anything else, I just need to discuss the work with you" explained Lara with a flat expression.

It seems like the atmosphere is not very good, thought Mira looking at the conversation of Lara and Jeden. It is no secret that Lara does not like Jeden. Instead, Jeden seems very interested in Lara. I should how? In this situation Mirada is required to be neutral. "Sorry Miss Lara, Mr. Jeden. I guess we just need to relax a little bit about everything."

"I just don't want to waste Mira's time, you know I'm a leader so I can't waste my time, right, Mr. Jeden?" Lara seemed to be insinuating Jeden subtly.

Damnit damnit! This girl always looked down on me! "Yes, you're right, Lara." Jeden is offended by Lara's remarks but he must hold himself back, because however the current status of Jeden's position in the Miracle company is not too safe. He still has to be patient.

"Let's keep eating" said Lara. The three of them also ate while talking about the promotion made by Jeden in Tokyo, from the data report that Lara received there were some problems while doing marketing there. There was a lot of debate between Lara and Jeden.

"I've been marketing there as much as I can, but how else to get a market in another country is not easy," Jeden explained in self-defense.

"It is certainly not easy to do it while doing something else that is not important" Lara replied with a fake smile.

What does that smile mean? Is he insinuating me? "What do you mean, Lara, I don't understand?"

Lara glanced cynically. This guy is pretending to be innocent or what? Obviously from the financial statements some of the flow of funds that he issued is not for business purposes.

It seems Miss Lara already knew about the office funds flow that Jeden and his team were misappropriating, Mira thought. "Mr Jeden, if I may know why for two weeks in Tokyo you and your secretary always miss every time I ask about the work agenda report?"

Damnit damnit! Miranda, she cornered me too! Jeden seems to be getting cornered at the moment, he is confused to have no answer to that question. "Oh about it—" Jeden suddenly had a spilling of drinks, it was also used as an excuse for him to avoid the scorn of Lara and Mira. "I'm sorry I have to go to the toilet to clean this up first."

"Please," said Lara happily allowing.

Miranda glanced at Lara and smiled in admiration.

"Why do you see me like that?"

"I'm just in awe of you, Miss, the longer you look amazing to face people like Mr. Jeden."

Lara smirked, "I just want to protect the company that my family has built so hard from the cunning people who like to play dirty. You see that cunning guy, obviously deliberately nudging his drink so there's a reason to go to the toilet!"

"Yes you're right Miss."

Lara was determined; however Miracle now depended on my way of leadership, so I had to do my best.

**

Jeden to the toilet cleaned up the drink spills on her clothes. There he grumpily did not accept. "Damn! Damnit damnit! Damnit damnit! How could the girl be so much bolder now!" Jeden really did not expect that Lara could talk spicy and sneer like that. "It seems I can no longer underestimate him, plus there is Mira who always supports him. My goal, however, must not stop in the middle of the road!"

Just look at Lara I will get you and also your treasure, so sooner or later you will definitely come begging me! Jeden looked serious at the moment.

Jeden clothes have been cleaned, inevitably he must return to the dining table.

Bugh! Jeden's shoulder collided with another man's shoulder when he came out of the toilet "Hey stupid, are you blind!" Maki Jeden on the man who collided with her. The man turned to look at Jeden who had left and then gave a sly grin, "You won't be able to touch Miss Lara while I'm there vow*an rancid!" It turns out the man who collided with Jeden was Van.

Seriate...
