My bodyguard is a Handsome Bum
My soul is in your grasp

Lara was stunned to hear Van's reply. Does he really need money so much that he doesn't care about the contents of his contract?

"But, what if it turns out that the contract is written, that you have to exchange your life for me?"

Van grinned, "You know Miss Hazel, the moment I agreed to be your bodyguard, I gave up my soul completely in your grasp, it means your life is even more precious than mine, too," van seraya swore.

Lara immediately gasped with Van's answer. Why are you suddenly so nervous? What's the matter with me, actually?

"Miss Lara?"

"W-W-why?"

"Why are you daydreaming?"

"Oh it's okay kok—" Lara must still look classy in front of her bodyguard.

"Well Van, from today on the contract, you must take care of me whenever, wherever, and whatever I tell you to do."

"Whatever it is for you Miss Lara" replied Van in her gentle husky voice. Instead, Van's eyes looked intimidating. "But there are things you should remember Miss, you must provide everything I need."

"No problem!"

"Then you sign this," Van pulled out a piece of paper and a pen.

"What's? I have to sign it too?" Lara doesn't know she has to sign either. Actually I don't want to but he seems to be trustworthy. Lara read the points in the contract that Van made outlines the contents of the contract points like this :

Things that must be met by the first party for the second party as follows;

>Providing a place to stay

>Paying salary cannot be late one day

>Providing personal needs (cellphones, vehicles, and the like)

>Give time enjoy the occasional pleasure.

"Oh just points like that don't matter, I'll sign it right now." Lara finally signed the contract. He is now officially the boss who must always be guarded by Van.

"Well then Miss what should I do now?"

Lara actually also did not know what to tell now, as she had never had a personal bodyguard before. But what Lara certainly had to do was give the phone she had bought to her bodyguard. "It's a phone for you" Lara gave Van the ready-made phone.

"I've put all the important numbers into his contacts so you just use them. And as for where to stay, I'll have a discussion with Miranda."

Lara still has to work, she tells Van to go out by giving her a credit card. "You go buy whatever you need with it, limit the card to a million dollars, assume that's the first paycheck and the bonus, so you can use it as you please."

Waw! Van didn't expect this boss of his to be so royal to him. "Well then excuse me Miss Lara, call me directly if you have any problems or anything."

"Key..."

Finally Van left Lara's room.

"Yourf!" Lara breathed a sigh of relief. "Finally the contract is done, I just think about where to stay for him. Oh yeah, that's when Van spoke in a soft tone why my heart so beat fast huh?" Lara felt strange about it.

Van went to use the car that had been given by Mr. Jah as his vehicle. Van really still can't believe that working as a personal bodyguard can be this fun. "I should have met Miss Lara a long time ago. But it's okay, maybe it's only now that it's the right time for us to meet. But the first thing I have to do is to call Aron and get my business done with him." I don't know who Aron is? What clearly seems to Van is not just an ordinary tramp seems to have a fairly complicated background.

Miranda met Lara in her room to report her meeting with Appletree, one of the leading clothing brands in the country. Miracle itself is the largest and most successful textile company in the city of ZR, almost all premium fashion houses in the country use Miracle services as a distributor of raw materials for making their clothing products.

"So have you been able to convince the company to become our permanent partner?" Ask Lara.

Mira fixed her glasses before explaining the results of her discussion with Appletree's leader. Mira explained if, the company had not thought to establish a permanent cooperation with Miracle.

"Why is it so hard to get Appletree to work with?" Lara complained.

"Except—"

"Except what Miranda?"

Why would you want to meet me? Who is the current head of Appletree? But who cares. "Well how else it's their will so I have to. Miranda, you please arrange my schedule to meet with the Appletree chief next week."

"Well Miss I'll set the schedule."

"Oh yes Mira, besides there are things I want to discuss with you."

"What is Miss about?"

"Absolute house to Van." Lara wants to talk about a place to stay for Van, because Lara has agreed from the beginning that she will provide a place to stay for Van. "So Mira what do you think?"

"Uhm, I don't think you need to give that to a bodyguard."

"But I already agreed and agreed to Mira..," whined Lara who even confused herself because of her words that she did not think first.

Miranda who saw it just smiled a little to see Lara whining. If you are confused and the speech starts to whine, Miss Lara really looks funny like a little sister who is confused.

"Mira, you don't even smile and be quiet, you have to help me because I don't know what else to do, I can't bring Van to my house... Huhuh." Lara continues to whine and undermine for help from Mira who she already considers her own sister.

"Miss calm down for a minute."

"All right..." Lara tried to calm down

"Aah! I know."

"really? So how?" Lara with her round eyes looked at Mira expectantly.

"Let him live in your apartment unit that you bought last year."

Lara rounded matan. "Oh yeah, I just remembered that I had bought an apartment unit, how could I forget that?"

"That's because you never occupied it."

"Who said I've occupied it!" Lara's Refutation.

"Yes but only one night, and you asked me to come with you at last."

"Goal it—" With a blush face Lara finally could not dodge anymore. Because he was at that time even until now did not dare to stay alone. "Have forgotten about it, the point is Van will live in that apartment."

In a small club, Van was sitting enjoying a glass of wine in front of the bar table. Shortly afterwards came the figure of a leisurely dressed adult man about thirty years old approaching Van and patting him on the shoulder. "Hi king drunk, how many bottles have you finished with me?"

Van only responded with a grin accompanied by a small laugh. "How are you Aron?" Van said to the man sitting next to him.

"My news is good, are you alone?"

"You think?"

"I think your appearance seems very changed compared to the last time we met last year on the side of the road. And now you—" For Aron Van's appearance is very different. The last time Aron met Van his looks looked so pitiful, that he borrowed a hundred dollars to him for a meal.

"What changed from me?"

"Everything! Except for your face, you've always been good-looking a long time, and now you're even more handsome."

The van again just smirked a little.

"Then what is it that you suddenly want to see me? If you want to borrow more money, I'm sorry I can't because I'm poorer now than you."

"Just the opposite" Van took out a few hundred-dollar bills and gave them to Aron.

"What's this money?" Aron asked in shock

"That's the money I borrowed from you so I give it back."
