My bodyguard is a Handsome Bum
This man is mysterious

In the morning Lara woke up from her slumber. The girl turned her head and found that there was no Vander next to her, she also saw the dagger placed on the nightstand was gone. "It looks like Vander is up and getting ready first."

Lara's phone screen shows at 07:15 a.m. "Jeez I'm late waking up" he concluded and then went down. After stretching the joints on her arms and neck Lara then tidied up the bed and rushed out of the room.

"Where is he?" Lara's looking for where her bodyguard is right now. The thirst eventually led Lara to walk towards the kitchen to fetch a glass of water.

That's her! Van turns out that the well-dressed ones are making something in the kitchen.

"Good morning," said Lara to the semi-formal dressed man.

"Good morning Miss, did you sleep well?"

"Yes," Lara answered, pulled up a chair and sat down, then poured water into a glass and drank it.

"Miss do you want me to make hot chocolate?"

"Can."

Van then brews hot chocolate for Lara.

"Oh yeah, why don't you wake me up early?"

"I dare not, when I see Miss so soundly sleeping."

Van brought the hot chocolate he had made to Lara. "This Miss please drink."

"Thank you." Lara then lifted the bagir and sipped the hot chocolate plan that Van had made for her. "Hem... It's delicious," concluded Lara.

Vander was delighted to hear that. "Sorry Miss I can't make you breakfast, but if you want I can order for you. Or you want me to make toast, if it's just toast I'm not too bad at making it."

Lara smiled as she held the side of her warm cup. "No, let me have breakfast at the office. Besides your cup of hot chocolate is enough for me."

Looking at Lara's smile that these few days in every morning, Van seemed to get energy many times over.

"Oh yes Van, thank you."

"For what?"

"For last night, because thanks to you wanting to stay in the room, I feel unafraid and can sleep well."

"Thank God, I should have done that anyway, right?"

"You take it easy, this morning I will transfer the money I promised you last night" explained Lara. He did not want to be counted just bragging to say will reward a hundred thousand dollars.

"Miss doesn't have to do that, the salary you've given me is more than enough."

"No, I promised you I could deny it." Lara remains determined to transfer the money to Van's account.

"Van, about last night... Why did you get that dagger ready for me, was—"

"Miss I told you, no matter how I'm a normal adult, so..." Van suddenly stared at the two large stands on Lara's chest whose sides appeared to be exposed due to the low cut of her nightgown. Realizing Vander's eyes glanced at the part of hers, Lara immediately covered it with her hand. Finally the girl understood the meaning of the word 'normal man' Vander meant.

"Then I— want to get ready first, we leave in half an hour," said Lara and then immediately left.

Vander smiled slanted while holding his forehead for being inexhaustible. "The girl often seems to dare to show her charm but in fact she is naive and stupid. How could he not realize that he was like a flower surrounded by a lot of ferocious insects that wanted to take his nectar."

Karina is seen walking into her room on crutches due to her injured leg.

"Miss are you sure you'll be working with that foot condition?" Said Karina's secretary seeing her boss forcing her to come in.

"You take it easy, I did deliberately force myself in because there was a need."

"But your feet don't hurt, do they?"

"Oh yeah, what gift did I order you all prepared?" Ask Karina.

"Already Miss, I have prepared the gift you requested."

"Good, because soon we will go to Miracle," said Karina smiling meaningfully. What plan was Karina thinking about right now?

Miranda who had just returned from a client meeting saw Van sitting in the lobby area alone. Mira also intends to approach Van while trying to pry the man's background information.

"What are you doing here alone?" Miranda came near.

"Enjoy life," Reply Van Flat.

Mira, who sat on Van's right side, looked to the left of where the man was sitting, and there were some empty coffee cups. "The coffee cups are yours?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Miranda was shocked, "It's still eleven in the morning and you've had that much coffee, are you crazy? Your stomach could be broken you know!"

Vander replied, "I'm sleepy."

"Are you not sleeping last night?"

"No!" The answer.

Miranda gets suspicious, what happened to not sleeping last night, did something happen in the apartment? Oh don't-don't you? Miranda remembers that Lara has been living with Vander since yesterday. "Hey tell me! Did something happen to Miss Lara?" Miranda is worried about interrogating Van.

Ck! Van clucked in annoyance."You're so noisy, after all what's Miss Lara's business with me not sleeping last night?"

"Yes, I mean you and Lara you guys are adult women, what might— um that.. ah that's it!"

"Well, what's the content of your brain thinking nothing of me and Miss, let's answer?" Goda Vander's.

Mira was immediately flushed in the face because she was ashamed of her brain read by Van. "Damn you Van!"

Van chuckles amusedly. "I didn't expect Miranda Jah to be so dirty with her brain."

"Shut up!" Reply Miranda felt ashamed of herself.

"Oh yes Miss Mira where have you been? What documents do you hold?" Van lately has become rather interested in studying the company.

"This is Miracle's financial report. Why are you asking, do you understand?"

"Can't I ask? I won't interfere anyway, unless Miss Lara gives instructions for me to interfere in her company's affairs. Although I'm actually worried about Miracle and Appletree."

Miranda was shocked, "Eh what do you mean talk like that?"

Van explained the meeting between Lara and Karina yesterday regarding the Miracle and Appletree cooperation contract. Van feels the cooperation between Miracle Appletree is currently arguably not too profitable Miracle, considering Appletree's current stock performance is much more stable than Miracle. Not to mention the supply of Miracle textile manufacturing raw materials that he knows are currently in a lot of trouble. Plus the quality of Miracle results every month instead of rising even decreased.

Miranda is astonished to hear Van explain the details and problems of the company in detail even more than Lara who is actually the CEO of the miracle.

This man is mysterious and unpredictable. "Van, where have you worked before? Don't fool me, from your analysis just now, it's clear that you're not a stupid, uneducated man."

"Why wonder, since there is no internet everyone can be smart," he replied casually.

"Yes, you're smart with Van's tongue,"

The van suddenly looked towards the entrance. "What's that woman coming here for?"

"Who do you mean?" Miranda asked then looked towards the entrance. "That's Karina Foster, right?"
