My bodyguard is a Handsome Bum
Classmate

Nine o'clock in the morning Lara leaves to visit Appletree's office escorted by Van. From the beginning get into the car, Van is not ceaselessly stealing glances at Lara who is sitting next to him. Van felt somehow Lara's appearance today was more beautiful than usual. Plus the red lipstick makes Lara look more mature and sexy. What the hell am I thinking? The man tried to stay focused, but the smell of Lara's sweet and fresh-scented perfume made Van completely impervious. Several times Lara's fingers tucked her beautiful hair into her ears. Van could clearly see the beautiful nape of the girl's neck that made her swallow several times.

"You thirsty huh?" Ask Lara-sudden.

"Ti-no Miss I'm not thirsty."

"But I saw you swallow a few times, I thought your throat was dry?"

"No Miss I'm not thirsty,"

Shit I got caught, come on hold on Van! Maki Van in her mind.

Van was a normal adult, however, so it was natural to react like that seeing a very attractive woman nearby.

Lara finally arrives at Appletree's office, and is escorted by Van until she enters the elevator that will take her to Appletree's office.

In the elevator, Van asked. "Miss, is it okay to be alone?"

"It's okay, after all, it's my important meeting with the Appletree chief, so I have to meet him myself."

"Then I'll wait for Miss in the main lobby, but if there's anything weird just call me right away."

Lara nodded in understanding. There was no feeling the elevator was almost aimed at the 9th floor, where it was the floor where Appletree company leaders were located.

"Oh yeah Van before the elevator opens I'll ask."

"Ask what Miss?"

Lara tidied her hair and clothes. He looked at Van and asked, "What do you think I'm beautiful today?"

"What?" Van was a bit stunned at Lara's question.

"Why is it so shocked? I'm ugly, aren't I?"

Van chuckles and puts his lips in Lara's ear and whispers, "Miss Lara, one fact you should know is, Miss will always be the most beautiful anywhere."

Lara was stunned, her face immediately red blushing with Van's words just now.

Before long the elevator door opened, "Miss is already open."

Lara woke up and immediately got out of the elevator.

"Hopefully it goes well Miss," said Van.

From the side of the elevator door that Lara closed could see a small smiling Van staring at her. Lara's mood is getting better. At once he was optimistic that he could get a cooperation contract with Appletree.

Lara walked towards the leadership room. Near the room was a secretary's desk, where Lara was immediately greeted by the secretary. "Miss Lara Hazel, please enter Miss Karina Foster is waiting inside" the secretary said.

Karina Foster's? Lara seemed familiar with the name.

"Good thanks." Lara enters the Appletree's office. Upon arrival in the room Lara was immediately greeted by the voice of a woman. "Welcome to my room Miss Lara Hazel, nice to see you again."

Lara's eyes were immediately fixed on the figure of a beautiful woman with a height of 170 centimeters who welcomed her. "Ka-Karina?"

"Yes, it's Karina Foster, your senior back in high school. You remember me, right?"

Lara smiled in anguish. "Maybe I forgot my most popular senior brother, and now he is the head of one of the best-selling clothing brands in the country. Whoa!"

"Thank you for the flattery, what an honor Lara Hazel has been praised by the most famous schoolgirl since she first entered school."

Looking at the way they spoke, it seemed like Lara's relationship with Karina used to be not very good.

The woman in front of Lara is currently Lara's upperclassman and head of Appletree, one of the local luxury brand companies that is now on the rise. Lara also quite admired the clothing brand.

"How are you Miss Lara Hazel?'

"Good,"

"Please sit down" Karina invited Lara to sit down and brought her a drink.

"So you're saying inviting me in right away is, wanting to see me as if I need you that way?" Ask Lara to the point.

Karina gave a small laugh as if confirming Lara's question. "Not really, but that's one of them. I want to see you as if I'm begging you."

Lara smiled wryly, "You still don't like me huh senior?"

"Everyone should like you like in our school?" Karina said cynically.

"Not really, but we're adults now. So I think things like competition in school should not be remembered again."

Karina looked at Lara cynically. She remembered where she had once been considered the most popular school queen, but in her third year suddenly her popularity was shifted due to Lara who was then a new student immediately became an idol at school. It makes Karina feel her pride has been trampled by Lara who incidentally is her junior at school. And since then Karina has become unhappy with Lara until now.

Lara sighed, "Let's say, Miss Karina I'm sorry that you don't like me. But this time I hope we can be both professional by not bringing personal problems into the business. Because honestly, I came here with my company name to offer cooperation with your company."

"Therefore I bring you a proposal of cooperation that you can learn first." Lara submitted the proposal she had brought for Karina to read.

In Miracle Jaden's office, he walked into Lara's room. Mira who happened to pass by the front of Lara's room asked, "Master Jeden, do you want to meet Miss Lara?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"I suggest you come back later, because Miss Lara is currently going to a business meeting with Appletree's company chief."

"Is that so? Oh right Miranda, you seem to be very close to Miss Lara? I remember the story of a company that had been bankrupt for a long time. There are many employees who work only because they have a close relationship with company officials. It also led to a culture of massive nepotism, resulting in chaos in HR recruitment and eventually the company was bankrupt."

Suddenly Mira's eyes sharpened staring at Jeden. The woman knew exactly that Jeden Lee was now trying to insinuate her.

"Hey why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's okay Mr. Jeden, I'm just looking at you as if you're insinuating yourself."

"What do you mean!?"

"Ah is nothing. Excuse me"

"Wait a minute!" Jeden blocks Mira from leaving. "Listen Miranda, no matter how close you and your family are to Lara, you're still just a subordinate here, so you should know yourself!"

"Thank you for reminding me, sir, but I also want you to know that, even if you are also a shareholder of Miracle, Miss Lara is still its CEO" Lara replied and left.

"Curtain! Damn assistant! Just look, I will also teach you a lesson for daring to defy me." It seems Jeden is getting serious about doing his crafty plan to Lara and her people.

**

Karina had just finished reading the cooperation proposal offered by Lara.

"So how is Miss Karina, interested in becoming one of Miracle's partners?"

Miranda leaned her body against the sofa. "Um, honestly your proposal is interesting, but honestly I still need consideration to cooperate. Therefore give me three days to decide."

"Is that so? But you're not like this because you don't like me, are you Miss Karina?"

"Of course not, even if I don't like you, but I'm a business professional." Actually, because of dislike.

"Thank God then." Lara smiled fakely while grumbling inwardly. This woman sucks! To be honest Lara was annoyed with Karina's arrogance, but no matter how this business was so had to be faced with a cold and rational mind.

Van who was bored also chose to go around the Appletree office for a while, but when he went around suddenly Lara called him.

Van: Yes Miss

Lara: I'm done and now I'm going to the toilet for a while, you wait for me in the lobby...

Van: Well Miss I'll be waiting for you there.

Van hung up and rushed to the lobby before Lara came out of the toilet.

Karina who had just returned from the toilet was suddenly taken aback as she passed by a man who seemed familiar to her. "That guy, right?" Karina immediately turned her head back and called the man "Hey Master wait!"

Feeling that there was no other man besides him, the man who was none other than Van turned his head. "You call me Miss?"

"Yes, I called you" said Karina.

"What's wrong Miss?"

"You remember me, right?"

Van squinted his eyes, remembering the figure of the woman before him. "Oh yeah I remember, you're kan—" Van finally remembered too.

"Yes you're right, I'm the owner of the pick-pocketed bag that you helped back then. What are you doing here, by the way?"

"I'm just accompanying someone. Miss, I'm sorry but I have to go!"

"Wait a minute!" Karina pulls Van's hand.

"Miss please let me go!"

"I'll let go but at least tell you your name."

"My name is Van, excuse me!" Van said as he took his hand off Karina and left.

"So her name is Van" Karina said with a smile.
