My bodyguard is a Handsome Bum
A Confusing Relationship

Jeden just got back from the toilet. "I'm sorry to keep you two waiting" he said and sat back down to join Lara and Mira.

"No problem," Lara replied casually while enjoying the food that was about to run out.

The atmosphere became a bit stiff to see Jeden who seemed careful when talking because he no longer wanted to be cornered by Lara or Mira. The man seemed to be just playing his food while dumbly thinking about something.

Is he thinking of a devious plan?

"Ehem!" Deham Lara broke the silence. "Mr Jeden, if you don't like the food, you better pack it up and give it to your pet."

Jeden immediately realized that what he did from earlier turned out to be just chopping meat without bribing it into his mouth. "Oh-this is because— suddenly I feel full, so I can no longer eat."

"Well then you just take it home, it's not good to have to throw away that much leftovers. Remember out there there are still many people who are hungry, unlike you who can anytime throw money," Lara said in a satirical tone.

Jeden squinted his eyes. What does he mean he's talking like that? This girl seems to be getting sharper with her tongue.

Jeden looked into his expensive watch clock. "Oh yes, ladies, I'm sorry, but it looks like I have to go first because I have some personal business to do."

"A rush?" Ask Lara.

"I-yes because it's sudden." Though it is clear that the motive was deliberately to leave the meeting at this time. "Then I go first."

"Wait, what are you back on?" Ask Mira. Jeden also came by Mira.

"That's why can I borrow your car Mira? The car keys are still on me anyway."

Mira who wants to answer even Lara who first answered. "You've used it anyway it's an office car, let Mira come home with me."

"Well then I'll see you tomorrow at the office." Jeden finally left.

"Did you see Mira? The man deliberately left for fear that I might ask further about his trip to tokyo!" Grouser Lara.

"You're right, miss, but take it easy. Sooner or later you're gonna make him no longer able to give up."

"Yes, hopefully. You see, I'm fed up with people who are just being lazy at Papa's company." Lara wants to rid the company of dirty people who like to act arbitrarily just because they have a position. But expelling Jeden is not that easy, because the man has a 20% stake in Miracle.

"Miss you daydreaming?"

"Eh, no! What's up?"

Mira asks if they will be back now or not. "On that..." Lara so remember Van who had not returned.

"Sorry to have Miss waiting for me" said someone who had just arrived.

"Van, where have you been?" Ask Lara curiously.

"I'm going to get some fresh air, I don't want to spoil Miss's lunch with Miss Mira and—?" Van saw there were 3 leftovers. There should be one more person with them right now. But where is that guy?

"Mr Jeden Lee has gone first" concluded Mira saw Van seemed to want to ask about it.

"Yes she's gone, so Mira will come home with us" added Lara.

**

After leaving the restaurant, he got into the car. Lara had been asked to sit in the back with Mira, but she instead forced to sit next to the Van who was driving.

How else, both Mira and Van certainly can not force their little miss to sit where.

**

On the way home from the restaurant, Lara did not seem to talk much, even she looked very calm. Mira who noticed it so felt strange, because Mira knows very well with the character of Lara who is rather chatty and likes to talk anywhere and anytime. Why is he so silent this time? What because...? Mira who was sitting in the back seat suddenly noticed Van who was focusing on driving. Mira thinks what because she is not too familiar with Van, makes Lara so not talk much as usual. I became curious about the communication between Lara and Van if it was just the two of you, is it the same as it is today?

"Miss Miranda, is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Van said suddenly.

Eh this man when it seemed like his gaze had been straight since, how could he know that I was watching him? This guy's terrible. "Oh no, maybe Miss Lara's gonna talk?" Miranda lures Lara to stay quiet.

"Eh? Ti-no, there's nothing I want to say right now," Lara said rather awkwardly. Since Lara thinks she likes Van herself, she likes to feel a little awkward around her bodyguard.

"So you don't know yet?" Mira Sahut. Oh yes Van had not seen Jeden, right when in the restaurant?

"He's the marketing director at Miracle, he was Miranda's old friend in high school and he was my senior in college" Lara explained.

"Oh, he must be a great guy, huh?"

"Huh?" Lara and Mira were astonished to hear the words from Van's lips.

"You've never seen it, how can you judge it?" Lara.

"Just guess."

"Hem, I'm not sure what you think" Lara replied.

"Is that so? But he must be handsome, right?" Van asked while glancing at Lara as if teasing her.

"Stop that..."

"So what does Miss like about Mr. Jeden Lee?"

"What the hell you're talking about, it's quiet!"

"All right, Miss."

In the back seat Mira who saw Lara and Van instead became confused himself. They were quiet and now seem familiar. Mira also sees Van as occasionally teasing Lara with his words even though it is not overt. They're actually related in communicating how the hell? Mira became more and more astonished.

Oh yes, Mira just remembered that this morning Lara had called him right. "By the way Miss Lara, this morning at about two in the morning you called me right, what's the matter? I'm sorry I fell asleep when I picked it up."

Lara Setika was shocked. God, why does Mira remember that? How do I answer that? Because there's no way Lara said in front of Van that Lara's real goal to call Mira early in the morning is not to sleep because the mind continues on her personal bodyguard. "Oh that's— um, about that I'm just a prank! You see, I had a little trouble sleeping last night" explained Lara.

"Is that so?"

"Yes so."

Mira feels Lara's answer doesn't seem entirely honest. Especially lately Lara also so like a bit strange. What's wrong with him, huh?

This time Van was just silent because he did not understand the language of Lara and Mira. But Van also became curious why the Nonanya was last night to not be able to sleep? Is it because of Jeden Lee's return? If so, why is this heart not happy.

In his apartment Jeden took off his wet clothes earlier, while continuing to blabber and curry at the annoyance given the incident earlier in the restaurant. "You can pressure me as soon as Lara Hazel! Who do you think you're dealing with?"

Although Jeden liked Lara, her desire to master Miracle seemed to be more than her passion for the girl. "You wait, I'll teach you a lesson for being brave to me!" Jeden seems to have a bad plan for Lara.

"Ughhh!" Suddenly Jeden held his shoulder. "Why the pain hasn't gone away, but it's just a casual collision, but the person who hit me just now had a really hard shoulder. Is he an athlete or a fighter?"

Speaking of fighting, Jeden remembered Mira saying that Lara now has a personal bodyguard. "I wonder what Lara's bodyguard looks like?"

**

At the office suddenly Lara got a call from the head of the Appletree brand, she said she would wait for Lara tomorrow at her office.

"You take it easy, tomorrow morning I will come alone as we promised" Lara said on the phone.

...

"Well, Miss, I'll see you tomorrow."Lara ended the conversation on the phone.

"Tomorrow, I should be able to make the head of Appletree confident to cooperate with Miracle!" Lara seems confident enough for tomorrow.

Seriate....
