My bodyguard is a Handsome Bum
Thanks Kiss

In his apartment Van opens his shirt violently, his athletic body with some real plastered scars. The man took a can of beer and drank it to the end. "Haizz!" Van sat on the sofa and placed the empty drink can on the table in front of him.

The man spread his hands across the back of the sofa while staring at the ceiling of the room. "Why did you do that to me, Lara?" Said Van in a huffed tone.

Van held onto his left cheek, "Even a kiss on his lips as if it still felt." Van was still reminded when his cheek was frowned upon by Lara

#Flashback

After being satisfied with the streets, Van finally drove Lara to his residence. Upon arrival at the luxurious and large Lara residence, Lara then did not immediately get out of the car, she was silent for a moment.

"What's wrong Miss?" Ask Van curiously.

"Pulse... Van thank you for coming with me for a walk" explained Lara.

"Together Miss, I'm glad to be able to accompany you for a walk."

Lara turned to look at Van and smiled. "Van I want to give you a thank you gift" said Lara.

"What gift?" Van curious.

"Try here a little closer," Lara asked.

Van came closer and put his face. Then Lara opened her seatbelt and kissed Van's left cheek. "Thank you, yes" said Lara, then straight out of the car.

Van's face immediately flushed. He touched his kissed left cheek. "No-miss Lara she really kissed me?"

#flashback off

Van ruffled his hair. After the incident in the van was crazy. All this time he held back on Lara, but in reality Lara was approaching. "If it had been this way it would have been more difficult for me to refrain from it..," Van said in frustration.

**

Not much different, in her room Lara also looks smiling considering the incident in the car. Lara blushed in embarrassment then, she covered her face with a pillow while lying down and rolled over on the bed.

"Van what are you doing now? Does she feel the way I feel?" Ask Lara curiously.

He woke up and looked towards where his phone was. "Not a phone?" Lara wants to call Van but is embarrassed.

"That's okay, but...?" Lara wondered what Van was thinking at the moment. Van wasn't angry because he was kissed by her earlier?

"Ah, at least he did not care much about what I did earlier in the car," said Lara covering her anxiety. Honestly, Lara was afraid that Van actually didn't like Lara kissing her cheek earlier.

***

The next day, Karina Foster of Appletree is seen approaching Lara's office.

Isn't she Karina Foster the owner of Appletree's rising brand huh? Said some Miracle employees who recognize Karina, considering Karina also often comes to fashion shows so quite a lot of people know about it.

Karina approached the reception desk accompanied by her female secretary.

"Is there anything I can do for you Miss?" Ask the receptionist to Karina who approached her.

"I want to see Miss Lara Hazel."

"Sorry, did you make the schedule before Miss?"

"Not yet, but just tell him that Karina Foster came to his office."

The receptionist then called Lara who was now in her room.

"Hello Miss Lara sorry to interrupt your time. I just wanted to let you know if there's Miss Karina Foster in the lobby right now, she said she wanted to see you."

...

"Well Miss then I'll tell you."

The receptionist then tells Karina that Lara told herself to meet Lara in her room on the eighth floor.

"OK," said Karina then left with a style that seemed a bit haughty.

Karina then goes into the elevator with her scheduler to Lara's room.

**

Meanwhile, in her room Lara became curious about the sudden arrival of Karina without telling her first.

"Did he come here to discuss my offer of cooperation?" Guess Lara.

Soon the bell in Lara's room rang, and it looked like it was Karina.

"Come in..," concluded Lara.

And it turns out Lara's guess was right, before long the door opened Karina appeared and went straight into Lara's room.

"Welcome to my office Miss Karina," greeted Lara as formally and leisurely as possible.

Karina looked around the details of Lara's room. "Your interior design choices are good too" Karina said.

"Thank you for the compliment," Lara replied and then let Karina sit down.

"What do you want to drink?" ask Lara.

"What's the best you've got."

Lara then poured her own cup of chamomile tea.

"Please drink."

"Thank you," Karina drank the tea in a graceful manner. "Hem! This tea is delicious, did you make it yourself?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Wow!" Karina impressed.

Lara immediately asked about the intention and purpose of Karina's sudden arrival to Miracle.

Lara could hardly believe hearing that. "So, you're saying you agree Appletree's working with Miracle?"

"Yes like that,"

"Ta-but..why did you suddenly decide to agree so soon? Wasn't it just two days ago that you weren't interested in working with Miracle?" Ask Lara to make sure.

"Oh come on, Miss Lara, you should already know that the business world is sometimes unpredictable, right?"

"Yes, you're right." But Lara is still not convinced that the reason Karina agreed to cooperate with him is only because of business. But even so, by agreeing Appleetree in collaboration with Miracle it will be good for the continuity of the company.

On the other hand, of course, Karina's goal is to agree to work with Lara not because of business alone, but there are other things that become her goal.

Of course there's a point behind all this, and it's all because of Van. Karina said in her heart.

"Okay, since you've agreed, then when do we discuss our cooperation contract? Do I need to come to your company?" Ask Lara.

"Oh no need, contract matters later let me just call. The important thing is that we have a deal, and tomorrow I'll give you a contract to study for you."

"Oh, fine if that's what you want."

Karina seems uncomfortable, because in her mind right now is she wants to talk about Van with Lara, but she does not know how to ask. Nah! I have to ask Lara right now about Van! "Um Lara, yesterday afternoon I accidentally saw you in the city park sitting with a man, um— what man is your acquaintance?"

Lara's astonished, "Man, you mean Van? Yes he works for me, why suddenly ask that?"

"Oh, I don't just want to ask. So he's your staff in what division? You see, I saw him in my office that day."

Lara became even more strange with Karina's question. Why is he suddenly asking about Van? What was? Does Karina know Van?

"Sorry Miss Karina, but I don't think our cooperation has started yet so I can't tell you anything about my staff."

"Oh, is that it?" Damn you Lara! And just say it, use all the secrets!

"So Miss Karina about—"

"Oh well then it seems like I should leave immediately, my secretary is already waiting in the lobby. Then I'll see you at Miss Lara Hazel's next meeting" Karina interjected Lara's unfinished remarks.

"Yes of course," Lara replied and reached out to shake hands. Both women shake hands.

*

Lara escorted Karina out of her room. And who would have thought when they came out, there was a Van in front of Lara's room. Seeing the figure of Van, Karina was immediately excited, the reason is indeed Karina's main goal from the beginning to Miracle is to meet Van.

"Van this—"

"Hi Mr. Van we meet again!" Greet Karina with sumringah.

"Oh, you were the lady back then, right?" Van doesn't remember Karina's name.

"Yes, and this is our accidental meeting for the third time. People say that if you meet three times accidentally it can be a soul mate," Karina said.

Just sober Lara immediately frowned hearing Karina's words just now.

"I don't know about myths like that" Van replied.

"Oh yeah, you remember my name, right?" Ask Karina.

"Your name..." Van glanced towards Lara who was next to Karina was putting on an unhappy expression.

"Van you have to remember, my name is Karina Foster, and I just found out that you're a Miracle employee."

While Karina was busy babbling, Van was busy watching Lara who had a jutek facial expression.

It seems like Miss doesn't like this woman too much? Think Van.

"Oh yeah Van you work in what division?" Ask Karina again.

"I don't work for the division, I work as Miss Lara's personal bodyguard" Van replied firmly.

"What?! So Van you're a bodyguard?" Karina was shocked to hear that. Damn, how could Lara have such a handsome bodyguard? "

"Yes, Van is my personal bodyguard" explained Lara proudly. "You know my bodyguard Miss Karina?"

"Yes I know him, he's the bravest man I've ever met in this world." Karina then tells about the first time she met Van to Lara.

"So Lara, since this van is your bodyguard, then can I take her out for a meal? Let's just say my thanks to Van."

What the fuck is this woman! Lara's grouse doesn't like to see Karina getting along with her bodyguard. "That's why you ask Van directly, does he want you to take him away?" lara said while glancing at Van.

As if understanding Lara's eyes, Van immediately replied, "Sorry Miss Karina, but I can't come along, because my job is to take care of Miss Lara, so I wouldn't step outside the Miracle without Miss Lara."

"Oh, is that it?" What's?! She rejects me? The insolent!

"Well then maybe next time. Then I'd better excuse me first," said Karina then left with a feeling of annoyance at being rejected by Van's invitation.

Instead Lara was instead made happy with Van's answer just now.

"Miss I answered correctly wasn't Miss Karina's invitation just now?"

"Come here and bow your face a little" Lara ordered.

Van did what Lara asked. Then Lara closed her lips to Van's ear and whispered softly, "I love the way you answer Karina and refuse her invitation."

Brushed so by Lara Van's face immediately flushed red. She recalled the incident yesterday in the car when Lara gave a kiss on her cheek suddenly.

"Oh yeah you're here to see me, right, what's up?" Ask Lara.

"Um, that..." Van soon forgets his goal of meeting Lara.
