My bodyguard is a Handsome Bum
Make up...

Vander's quick steps led him to come to Lara's workroom. And as usual, the man just went in without permission to meet his lover inside. From the corner standing, Vander could see clearly Lara who was sitting looking at him with her eyes glaring.

Did she cry? Thought Vander saw his lover's eyes were a bit puffy. He immediately approached the girl who was still sitting unmoved and continued to look at her.

"Hey, what's up?" Vander's heavy voice sounded so softly questioning his grieving-looking girl.

Lara who was still sitting in her seat immediately hugged Vander who was standing in front of her. "Vander I'm mint sorry, please don't blame Gavin, he's not wrong I'm wrong for going off without thinking long."

Van could feel Lara trembling body hugging her waist while crying. His hand even squeezed out the strong suit on the back of Vander. Why is he so sad?

Vander released Lara's embrace, and held her blushing female face towards him. "Why are you crying, I'm upset with you but don't cry like this, I can't see my beloved crying." Van ducked down on Lara's cheek and gently wiped the tears on her cheek.

Lara was a little relieved to hear Vander's words to her.

They were also talking on the sofa. After drinking water, Lara told him all the reasons for going alone at the time. "I know I was wrong for not asking Gavin to accompany me.

"So because of this watch you're willing to go alone?" Van looked at the watch that was coiled around his wrist.

Van smiled little.

"You're mad at me Van?"

"Yes, but now I'm trying to understand your position."

"But Mira she must still be mad at me" said Lara sadly.

"Mira's probably just mad because she loves you. As much as I'm sure he's very protective of you, maybe he's too worried that he's angry and upset."

"I hope Mira will forgive me soon" he concluded expectantly.

Vander rubbed Lara's head like a child. "Don't be sad, he'll forgive you!"

"Don't mess up my hair like that I'm not a kid!" Lara Protests.

"Yes you're not a child, you're an adult woman with a crying hobby," led Vander thawed the atmosphere.

"Oh yeah, you should apologize to Gavin right away, he's the victim here!" Lara.

"Yes..."

"Promise?"

"Yes...! I just hit him slow anyway."

"Slows said?! He's bruised and bleeding You said slow!" Lara did not accept.

"For Gavin it's normal, I used to invite him to boxing sparring so don't have to spoil him too much. Besides, your boyfriend is not me, why worry too much about him? Gavin has Miranda!" Vander seems to dislike Lara worrying too much about Gavin.

"Not so, the problem is that I feel guilty for Gavin" Lara said.

"Yes I understand.., don't be sad anymore" Vander hugged Lara into his chest.

After feeling that Lara was better, Vander left. He asked her not to read too many comments on social media, and not to go anywhere without permission.

"But—"

"Stt...." Vander put his fingers on Lara's lips. "This time be a good girl and obey me."

Lara nodded in understanding.

"Smart girl!" Said Vander sticking his forehead to Lara's eel.

"I'll go first..."

"Yes," Lara smiled.

"Oh I forgot something!"

Vander then turned back to approach Lara and immediately kissed her sweet lips. "I forgot my kiss ration" he said, glancing one eye.

Making Lara smile blush. "Thank you for keeping me calm, Vander."

At the Osthetic Vander's shop came to see Aron.

"You've come here at last" said Aron, who then immediately flipped the entrance notice board to 'close' .

Aron gives a can of cold drink to Vander who is already sitting with his legs wide open in one of the antique wooden chairs, where usually the visitors and buyers in his shop sit waiting.

"So now you know about what happened to Lara yesterday, right?" Aron sat down to face Vander.

"Yes" he said as he opened the can.

"Then?"

"I'll find out who the man who dared to frame Lara was" Vander said.

"How?"

Instantly Vander gave a sharp look at Aron who seemed to him to be underestimating him.

"Em— bu-no I underestimated your ability. It's just that Van you have to be realistic. With your current situation it will definitely be difficult in a quick time to find the perpetrator of someone's crimes, especially if someone is from the elite."

What Aron said was indeed true, Lara's enemies were definitely not the indiscriminate circles who were without protection behind her.

"You know Van, Lara's photo on the spot yesterday has spread in cyberspace, and honestly I read the comments of netizens in the comments column did not have the heart, what about Lara?"

"I've asked him not to look at social media much for now."

"Then what are you going to do now, the picture has already been spread in cyberspace."

"If the matter of the photo spread is no longer possible, because even if I am the greatest hacker in the world even if it is useless, because the traces must have been seen by thousands or even tens of thousands of people. Even if I kill those who have seen it one by one, the digital traces will not disappear at all, because the human memory is sharp and they must have had a copy." Vander then gulped down his canned drink.

"Hey Van no offense, but I think if you're just like this, Lara will never be protected as safely as possible" Aron said.

"What do you mean?"

"My point is, to protect Lara you're not enough to rely on your strength or abilities, however you must have the ultimate power and throne until you're sure no one can easily take you down."

Vander was silent, his sharp eyes staring in one direction. He then found a drink in his hand with one hand.

"You're right Ron!" said brief.

"Oh yeah, if from your own intuition who was the one who framed Miss Lara yesterday?" Aron was curious.

With his serious-looking face Vander seemed to be racking his brain, digesting info and pieces of clues, which could possibly lead him to the one name he suspected.

"It's no mistake that must be that damn female fox!" vander's sharp eyes seemed to give confidence to his answer.

"What do you mean?" Aron.

For Karina to see Lara slumped with hatred was happiness for her. "But this is just the beginning, after this I will make the woman more miserable." Karina's sly face seems to imply that she already has the next plan to bring Lara down.

Shortly after, Karina's secretary comes in and tells Karina that someone wants to meet her.

"Who?"

"Mr Vander Miss," said his secretary.

"Vander?" The look on Karina's face immediately flashed and her lips smiled broadly knowing the man she liked had come straight to her.

"All right, just get her into my room" Karina said.

Secretary Karina immediately excused and called Vander. Soon after, Vander enters Karina's room.

The woman looks to have brought a bottle of luxury wine for her to present to the man her heart adoration.

"Hello my handsome master, how are you?" Karina walked up to the man while taking him to sit down. "Let's sit down and drink some wine."

Vander sat down, his cold face with eyes that were unpredictable the man looked at Karina who was in front of him was pouring wine into a glass.

"Please," Karina let Vander have some wine. Vander certainly likes wine, he immediately swallowed it to the end.

"So... What's the matter with you coming here, baby?" Karina said in a sensual tone while teasing the man in her room.

"Why did you frame Lara?" Ask Vander straight to the point.

"Because I want to!" The reply was to feel no guilt at all.

"You guys no longer work together, then why are you still bothering him? Can't you stop bothering Lara!?" Vander said calmly but with great emphasis.

"No, I'll just stop if I see Lara really falling! Or... I could have stopped sih—" Karina walked up to Van and sat next to him.

"As long as you leave Lara and come to me" whispered Karina in Vander's ear.

Van laughed half and got up from his seat. "Miss Karina, I'm just a bodyguard whose status is clearly below yours, why do you want me?" Gagging Vander.

"Because you have everything I want from a man." Karina stood up.

"I'm not the right guy for you" Van intended to stay away from Karina but suddenly...

"Vander," Karina hugs Van from behind.

That man stopped. "Miss Karina let me go, I don't want to be rude to women" Vander said in a deep, heavy voice.

"No way, I've loved you, Vander, since I first met, I've been in love with you, I love you!"

Vander did not react to anything, he instead let go of Karina's hand which hugged her body and shifted away.

"Why don't you want to be with me?! What is my lack compared to that Lara!? You want the money I can give you, you want the job I'll give you, whatever you leave him and come to me!" Karina is full of emotion.

"I don't need everything you've mentioned, I'm just asking you to stop bothering Lara—"

"Whisper!" Karina Screeches. "I'm so sick of hearing you say that bad girl's name, I'm sick of seeing so many people complimenting her, I'm sick of seeing her act like a daughter I'm sick of everything about! And I'm sick of knowing you chose her over me!" Karina brought her body closer to Vander and looked at him.

"What do you want?!" Said Vander astonished to see Karina in front of him suddenly just unzipped his shirt.

"Vander I want you to sleep with me!" Said Karina who stayed wearing a bra.

Vander breathed. "Wear your clothes again because I'm not interested at all!" Van slung and then looked away but his hand was pulled Karina. "Why?Is my body no better than Lara's, I can satisfy you more than that cheap girl does!"

Vander immediately removed his hand from Karina rudely and warned the woman, "Never mention anything bad about Lara in front of me!"

Karina laughed mockingly. "When you yourself do not know what Lara did in the brothel yesterday, it could be that she has been spun by many men and— eghh!" Vander suddenly strangled Karina's neck, his sharp eyes as if giving the woman a warning. "I won't let anyone dare insult Miss Laraku!" Vander removed his grip from the woman's neck violently and turned around and sauntered away.

Karina's neck hurt, she didn't take it and shouted, "Vander listen, until whenever I won't stop messing with Lara's life before seeing her really fall down, and you like now will never be able to stop me, remember that!"

Van clenched his hand and left Karina's room.

Meanwhile, Miranda who just had a relaxing time took the time to open her social media. On arrival, he saw many news photos of Lara who was in the brothel at that time. Feeling curious he also opened the photo and it turns out the content of his comments has been a thousand more. Miranda then opened her comment column and she was shocked to read the contents of her comments a lot of bad speech ;

- "Woman j@lang!"🤮🤮

- "bad woman's CEO!"

- "can I book him hahaha!"

"Beautiful but shameful."

"it's just beautiful if you don't have self-esteem."

- "what is a player?" 🤮

- I'm a 19-year-old man does Miss Lara want to be with me?* lol* laughed mockingly.

as a mother I am ashamed to see it!

- just drop the position he does not deserve to be CEO!

"Oh my God, why are they so evil? Even most of the commenters are also women." Miranda became even more guilty of Lara for yelling and cornering her.

"She must be in a slump right now, and I'm not there for her?" Miranda was truly sorry. "I have to go see Lara and apologize to her..." Feeling so sorry, Miranda goes to Lara's room to apologize.

Lara who was in her room was suddenly shocked to see Mira who came to her room and looked at her meaningfully.

"What's wrong with Miranda?" Ask Lara confused.

Mira cries and hugs Lara. "I'm sorry... Sorry for scolding you. I who's more mature than you should be wiser, I should have advised you instead of scolding you emotionally."

Lara felt overwhelmed by Mira's words. "Had Mira it's okay it wasn't your fault."

Miranda let go of her embrace and opened her glasses and wiped her tears.

"Already Mira do not cry, I became sad to feel," said Lara while wiping tears on Miranda's cheeks.

Miranda finally stopped crying and put on her glasses again. "I'm sorry to you again."

Lara shook her head, "I'm grateful to you, because thanks to you I've learned to not be careless and more careful in acting, thank you Mira I love you." Lara smiled sweetly at Miranda who was already like an older sister to her. They both finally embraced.

"Oh yeah, you... You haven't opened social media today, have you?" Miranda hopes Lara hasn't had time to read bad comments about herself on social media.

Lara's eyes looked sad. "I already know, and I've had a little time to read some of the bad comments that were thrown at me."

Miranda hugged Lara again. "You take it easy, those damn netizens who make bad comments don't know you so don't think about it!" Miranda tries to make Lara casually respond to what is, because she knows her friend is the type of person who is quite easy to overthinking.

"I'm not okay Mira..." Lara said casually, although in fact she was quite disturbed by opinions on social media, but Lara tried not to think too much about it.
