My bodyguard is a Handsome Bum
Heavy load on his shoulders.

Van and Lara then read the article shown by Miranda.

In the article the title is written 'COOPERATION WHICH IS EVEN DETRIMENTAL' in the contents of the article written Karina's statement that says that, Appletree working with Miracle is a big mistake considering the performance of Miracle which in recent months has often experienced derivatives and internal problems.

"Damn! Karina could have said such a bad thing about this company!" Lara looks angry after reading the article.

While Vander after reading the article just now so feel that, this article is one of the threats that Karina meant. Damn woman is really sneaky, so you could say the initial purpose she wanted to cooperate with Miss Lara was to make Miracle as her weapon. The insolent!

"Then what should we do now Miss?" Ask Miranda.

As a result of Karina's statement in the media, Lara is sure that in the future there will be many investors who will not even cancel their intention to become investors in Miracle. It really harmed Miracle's side. Lara, who was disappointed and did not accept Karina's remarks in the media about her company, immediately grabbed her phone, and contacted Karina.

Lara: Hello!

Karina: What's wrong? (As if nothing happened)

Lara: What do you mean by saying in the media that working with my company is a mistake!

Karina: Oh you read yes, good then.

Lara: Karina is actually your goal what the hell! Is it not from the beginning that your goal is willing to cooperate with me not because of business, but there is another purpose?

Karina (Little Tertaws) Miss Hazel you are still stupid and naive. You should have known from the beginning that I wasn't interested in working with you. And with me suddenly agreeing to cooperate isn't that a strange thing? You should have realized that, you idiot!

Lara clenched her hands indicating that she was holding back her emotions that were now explosive.

Lara: So what exactly is your goal? (Lara's voice was suddenly low-pitched)

Karina: You just ask your bodyguards!

Lara: Ap- What do you mean?!

Karina: Later you also know after asking him. Yes, bye! Oh right, say my regards to your handsome bodyguard.

Tut tut tut!

After the conversation with Karina ended, Lara immediately turned to Van and looked at him with a soft and questioning look.

What was? Why is Miss Lara looking at me like that?

"Miss Lara what did Miss Karina tell you on the phone?" Ask Miranda.

"Mira help you check our stock index, and find out how many investors are still willing to hold on and report everything to me!"

"Ta-but Miss..."

"Just do it!" Lara with a serious face.

"Ba-well I'll do," Miranda left Lara's room.

Van who felt something strange asked what Karina had said on the phone earlier. "What did the lady actually say?"

"He said the reason he wanted to work with me was because of you" he explained.

Lara walked up to Van and looked at him and asked, "Van what is your relationship with Karina? Why, why does he seem to want you so much?"

"I have nothing to do with that woman, she does want me...."

"And you want it too?"

"No, I don't... I'm..."

"St..." Lara covered Van's lips with her fingers. "Don't say anything, right now I feel tired and scared. I-I'm afraid I can't fulfill my duties as heir to this company. Everything that's happening now, that fire, that stock is always going down. All that seems to explain that I have failed as the heir to this company," said Lara who can no longer stem tears out of her fertilizer. Lara was crying in front of the guard.

Seeing Nonanya crying, Van's heart seemed to be sliced. He hugged the girl into his arms and calmed her down. "Miss don't be afraid, I'll always be with you."

"But how is Miracle's fate now? Who can help me Van. I'm a real useless woman. Let alone make it bigger even keep this company as if it can not huhu..." With tesedu-sedu Lara continues to blame herself.

Van did not know exactly what pressure Lara was feeling at the moment. But just by listening to her say so with a trembling voice, making her sure that at this moment Lara's emotions were on the verge of limit. Thinking about the fate of the company, employees, and everything alone must be heavy. And after all she is still a woman who has a fragile side and needs a backrest.

But the truth is, just being a bodyguard is not enough to protect and keep Miss Lara completely. I can't just be a bodyguard to be able to protect this girl completely, I have to be at the point where no one is able to touch me. And unfortunately Van doesn't have that at the moment.

**

In her room Karina seemed satisfied after saying that to Lara on the phone. "You think I'm kidding? Vander, sooner or later you're gonna come yourself to hand yourself over to me. And Lara she's gonna be down."

It seems to Karina, Vander is both an obsession of her love and a way she uses to make Lara feel defeated by him. "I'm Karina Foster won't let this time the rotten woman win and laugh!"

**

Van is seen smoking his cigarette on the rooftop. He constantly thinks that he cannot just be like this. "If I give up on Karina is it possible that Miss Lara will be happier?" Reveal full of questions. Because just being a bodyguard certainly could not be enough for him to protect Lara from many enemies.

Van suddenly picks up his phone and calls Aron.

Van: I want to see you now!

Aron: All right!

Vander immediately went to meet Aron at a cafe not far from Miracle.

**

Van and Aron are seen sitting in the cafe. The two looked solemnly talking accompanied by a cup of coffee in front of each one.

"So, what do you want to say?" Aron asked after sipping his coffee.

"Eva, he's the mastermind of the Miracle warehouse burning."

"What's? So you're guessing that he did it?" Aron gasped at hearing it. He doesn't know why he did that.

"Since the beginning he did want to lure me out and one of them in this way." Van breathed.

"What's wrong? Looks like you're in some kind of worry?" ask Aron.

"I just feel, right now even though I'm Miss Lara's bodyguard, but in reality I'm adding more trouble for her."

Aron chuckled looking at Van who currently looked worried. "You've fallen in love too deeply with your Miss Lara it seems to make you so worried about doing something" Aron guessed.

"Fell in love?" Van laughed mockingly, "Yes, I did fall in love with her, but is it possible for a bodyguard like me—"

"Hey! Since when did Vander Liuzen the night wolf from Crux seem as insecure and as weak as this," Aron sneered.

Vander could only smile blandly. "I've long been no longer part of that organization."

"But unfortunately for this second, Crux still wants you back."

Van pensive, he thought if Van returned to Crux it would even make Lara more in danger. He no longer wants the people he loves to lose their lives because of him.

DRIP! vander's phone is vibrating. He reached into his pocket and raised the call from Miranda.

Van: Hello what's wrong?

....

Van : What? Well I'll be there soon!

Van's face immediately panicked after lifting the call just now.

"What's wrong? Don't you usually look panicked?!"

"I have to go now, please pay for the drink with this." After laying a fifty dollar bill, with a face full of worries Vander went quickly.

"What's the matter exactly? Vander almost never expressed worry or panic, except for the very precious things of his life."

Seriate...
