My bodyguard is a Handsome Bum
Opium Substance

Upon arrival at Miracle Lara entered the office first because he had to immediately check the incoming email, while Van went first to park the car.

Just as Lara was about to wait for the elevator to open, suddenly Jeden from the side shouted, "Lara Hazel!"

Lara turned to look at Jeden, from the look on her face the man seemed to be emotional. "Did he call me that?"

Jeden approached Lara and immediately pulled the girl's hand to come with her. "Come with me!"

Lara was startled and immediately angry, "What the hell are you, let go of my hand!"

"No! You need to come with me right now, there's something we need to talk about!"

"What talk? Can't you be more polite, Mr. Jeden Lee!" Lara said as she continued to try to release the grip of Jeden's hand. Unfortunately Jeden did not care at all and continued to firmly grip Lara's wrist.

"The dress I said let go, my hand hurts!" The girl exclaimed in pain as she continued to try to let go of her hand.

"God! Sick? How about this?" Jeden even more strengthening his grip to make Lara scream.

"Aw sick Jeden!" Lara used one of her other hands to remove the grip of Jeden from her wrist. "Jeden you're crazy! Quickly release my hand aching—"

"Whisper!" Jeden yelled at Lara loudly. Lara was shocked and embarrassed. This is the first time in Lara's lifetime to be publicly yelled at. Even Lara could sense that all the servants in that place were now looking at her while whispering to each other. Silly even though there were guards, but no one dared to interfere because both Jeden and Lara both had shares and high positions in Miracle.

"Take me off now or—"

"You know what Lara Hazel is!"

"Or you're dealing with me!" Van shouted that appeared suddenly. Van with his savage gaze looked at Jeden as if the prey he was about to snatch. Jeden was made to shudder with Van's gaze.

"Take Miss Lara off!" Shouted Van, but Jeden still did not want to let go as well. Until finally Van came to Jeden and immediately twisted one hand Jeden to make him groan in pain. "Aragh!"

"Take off Miss Lara or within seconds I'll break your hand!" Threaten the Van seriously.

Jeden finally released his grip from Lara's hands. Van who still did not accept Jeden's treatment on Lara was getting harder and harder to twist Jeden's hand even almost broke his bone. Luckily Lara was still kind and asked Van to let her go. In the end Van obeyed Lara and released Jeden and pushed her down.

Jeden is in pain, he does not accept it and then gets angry at Van and berates him. "You rotten rancid man, who are you how dare you interfere in my affairs!?

Van again looked at Jeden with a sharp look full of anger. "I am Miss Lara's bodyguard. My job is to protect her, so whoever dares to hurt Miss Lara to the end of a fingernail, then she won't live quietly!" Assertive Van at that time in front of other employees who might also, many who just knew that he was Lara's personal bodyguard.

Damn it, so this is Lara's bodyguard?

"Van let's get out of here, and for all of you to disperse, get back to work!" Tell Lara who then went escorted Van into the elevator.

"Well Miss," said the employees who then returned to their respective workplaces.

So did Jeden, while holding her painful hand the man left with a feeling of resentment. Feeling humiliated by Van whose status is not much different from subordinates, Jeden also vowed to retaliate. "I'll reward you rancid man, just wait!"

In the office bathroom, Dona, the gossip ringleader from the marketing division, was talking about the incident in the lobby. "Hi Tara, you saw that the atmosphere was really tense" said Dona, tidying up her lipstick.

"Yes, but thanks to the incident I found out that the handsome man we were tempted at that time was Miss Lara's bodyguard."

"Yes, you're right! But it's a pity with the face and the body as such that he's just our boss's bodyguard who still stinks it," dona said, mocking Lara, who she considers only a girl yesterday afternoon, who was forced to become CEO only because of the late son of Yuka Hazel (Lara's Father)"

"Well, Dona, how dare you talk so much about our Miss Lara who can't do anything about it" Tara replied in mockery.

"It's also true hahaha..."

"But at least the boss you guys are gossiping about isn't as trash-mouthed as you!" Miranda.

Tara and Dona were shocked, their faces immediately pale to the sight of Miranda who suddenly appeared. "No-Miss Miranda since when did you—"

"When you two are still scavenging for money from this company, how dare you insult a boss you don't even know very well, are you sane!" Tegur Mira's.

"Pardon us Miss Mira please don't bring us to Miss Lara, we admit to being wrong" she pleaded.

Mira looked down and smiled wryly at the two employees of the gossip. "You're lucky to have a boss like Miss Lara, if I were Miss Lara maybe I would have kicked you long ago! Now go on, remember if I hear you dare to say bad things about Miss Lara again, I make sure you get out of the Miracle at the same time, okay?!"

"Pa-know Miss Miranda, then we'll excuse you first."

Miranda sighed throwing away her angry emotions. "The base officer does not know himself! You don't know how hard working and trying that little girl you're teasing is. He was even willing to bury his ideals and instead chose to be CEO here." Mira knows exactly how tough Lara is to serve her duties as CEO, which is why Mira is so angry if anyone dares to insult the girl who is considered her sister.

Lara entered the room accompanied by Van, since in the elevator Lara continued to rub his wrist that was gripped by Jeden earlier.

Must have hurt his hand and it's hot.

Van took the compress directly from the fridge in Lara's room and asked the girl to sit down. Lara whose hands hurt, according to.

"Miss please get your hands."

Lara lansung held out her hand that was reddened by the grip of Jeden to be compressed. Gently and carefully Van compressed Lara's slender wrist. The scar of the grip was very clearly visible on Lara's smooth white skin. Van was very angry to see the hand on Lara's skin. If Miss Lara hadn't banned me, I would've broken both of Baj*'s hands!

Meanwhile, instead of feeling pain in her wrist Lara was more focused on looking at Van who looked so carefully compressing her hand, as if she was a little afraid of hurting Lara. Lara's eyes suddenly sad, her heart rippled but also felt tight at the same time.

The redness on Lara's skin starts to fade "Miss, do your hands still hurt?"

Lara shook her head, "It's better, really" said Lara gently.

"Miss, I'm sorry again I didn't take good care of you, I really sucked" Van said regretfully. "You know, Miss, when I saw that man hurt you my soul was like being burned, I didn't know what to do at that time, which I knew I wanted to keep you away from that man. Then I want to tear the man apart mercilessly."

"Vane..." Lara suddenly held onto both of Van's cheeks and looked at him with a gentle gaze adorned with her sweet thin smile. "Thank you for always wanting to protect me" said Lara followed by a sweet smile.  At once Van's face flushed red, and his body temperature heated up.

Lothawat!

Van can not if linger like this touched Lara, he can be out of control, let alone Van's emotions are currently peaking. Van finally pulled himself out of the touch of Lara's delicate hand and said, "Miss I'm sorry but it looks like I should excuse me now." The van left Lara's room as quickly as possible.

On the other hand, Lara actually looks sad to see Van who instead left. "Why does she avoid me so many times when I get close to her?"

**

Van went to the toilet and washed his face, his breathing was still irregular. He looked at the mirror in front of him and touched his cheek. "Even the touch is still felt even though it has been washed. Argha! It really torments me!"

For Van, the smell of Lara's body, her face, and her touch, everything in the girl is like an opium substance that can make her intoxicated to forget herself in just a matter of seconds. This is difficult for Van because the more he holds him the more excruciating it feels. But if it is not fought then it can never be released again.
