My bodyguard is a Handsome Bum
Back to that place?

Lara and Miranda were surprised to hear that.

"Why are they doing this demonstration?" Miranda looked upset.

"What I hear is they're angry because they think the company will cut their paychecks, and do a massive PHK to cover Miracle's losses."

Lara was shocked not to play to hear it. Because he as a leader actually has never agreed to such a policy in the near future.

"Where did the issue go?" Miranda curious.

"I don't know Miss either" said Ana who still looked panicked.

How'this? This is the first time Lara has been CEO. No, this is even the first time there has been such an incident in Miracle.

"Miss Lara, you must meet them so that the atmosphere does not get more chaotic. However they are still your responsibility" Mira suggested.

Lara nodded in understanding. He was accompanied by Mira immediately went down to meet the officers who were protesting.

Her arrival under Lara could hear the voices of the protesters shouting and calling Lara's name and saying objections.

I was afraid to see them angry but anyway I had to meet them and hear firsthand what they were complaining about. Lara set her breath and stepped forward to meet the dozens of angry employees.

Finally Lara appeared before the officers who protested. He immediately tried to conducive the employees, and asked one of their representatives to talk about what they wanted.

Through the loudspeaker, one of the representatives of the officers also expressed the contents of their heads. "We want justice, we don't accept if the company has to cut our pay by fifty percent. What do we want to eat, my wife's son? And the matter of PHK, how is it possible that for forty years Miracle stood suddenly there was a massive PHK! We don't accept that!"

As calmly and wisely as possible Lara replied, "Everything. But I'm trying to stabilize Miracle's financial condition so you don't get any invalid issues."

"But in fact the company is steadily declining!"

"We need certainty! Miss Lara you can't just make promises!"

"Please be sure, we don't want to be PHK!"

"Yes Miss Lara!"

"Think of us being just regular employees! Show your competence!"

"If Miss is not able to lead the company down!"

The demonstrators are not conducive. It seems that the employees have been inundated with the issue to experience a crisis of confidence in Lara's leadership.

Amidst the noise of the employees who protested, Jeden suddenly appeared. The man appeared as a hero at that time, he immediately calmed down the servants and tried to dialogue with them. And who would have thought, after dialogue with Jeden the angry employees became calm and willing to understand the current state of the company.

To the extent that Lara and Miranda did not expect to see Jeden could calm the protesters.

"So everything I beg you, work well first. Regarding the PHK salary, all of you trust us Miracle officials. While I personally have been able to ensure there will be no PHK," said Jeden.

The officials believed in Jeden and they cheered each other's names.

Long live Mr Jeden Lee!

Hail Lord Jeden!

Hail lord Jeden!

And soon the officers disbanded. There Lara looked at Jeden with a suspicious look.

"Miss Lara why see me that? Shouldn't you be thanking me for helping you disperse them?"

"Is this you?" Tanya Lara did not believe what Jeden did. Seeing the man come suddenly like a hero as if making Lara suspect that Jeden is behind this all happening.

"Oh come on Lara, are you suspecting me? Have you really turned into a cruel, ungrateful woman?"

"I'm grateful that you've helped disband everything, but that doesn't mean I trust you completely." Lara still has faith that Jeden must have other intentions behind her.

The man chuckled while laughing at Lara. "If you don't believe I don't care, you obviously owe me this time Lara" Jeden said with a swagger and left Lara and Miranda.

Lara's room seemed confused this time. Why at this moment? Why is it when he is trying to stabilize the company even suddenly this kind of thing happens?

"I don't understand why such an issue is so widespread?" Reveal Lara never thought of making it.

"You sit down and calm down first," Miranda's pinta, who has also recently experienced an event like this during her work at Miracle.

Lara sat leaning back in her chair calming down while massaging her temple so as not to strain.

"God! So it's all Tara and Dona!" Mira said in a shocked tone.

"What's Miranda?"

Mira explained to Lara that the issue that circulated about the PHK and salary, it turned out to start from Dona and Tara's statement on social media related to her dismissal some time ago.

"So they purposely slandered me for heartache because I fired it?" Lara is upset.

"Maybe, and..." Miranda's face again shocked to see Dona's social media profile. "Dona and Tara, it turns out they're now working for Appletree" Miranda said.

"What?!" Lara who had been leaning back relaxed immediately turned to sit straight gasped and furrowed her brows. "So now they work for Karina?" If they work for Karina it's obvious they'll be hostile towards Lara, considering they and Karina both don't like her.

I have to how is this? With Dona and Tara a former Miracle employee who was fired directly by Lara it is not impossible that the two women will divulge the issues that are in the office at this time. The huft! Lara sighed and pinched her tired head thinking about all of this.

"Miss you okay?" Tanya Mira was worried.

"Yes Mira, I'm okay!"

"So what are you going to do now Miss?"

"Come on Mira, but..could you just leave me alone for now? I need some space to myself first" Lara said.

Miranda tells him she leaves and leaves Lara alone to calm herself down. The girl took water and drank it to feel better. Shortly after, Vander entered Lara's room with an anxious look on his face. The man immediately approached the lover who was sitting alone on the sofa with a chaotic feeling.

"Miss you're okay, right? I came straight here when I found out there was a demo in your office. You're not hurt or sick, are you?" Said the worried Vander while hugging Lara.

"I'm fine Vander you don't have to panic, no violence at all just..." Lara then told Van the details of the incident as the demo went on until it was over. "I don't know if I feel right or wrong, but I feel suspicious of Jeden."

Lara then sighed and said, "Why Van, even though I was trying to increase the trust of employees, by working with the garden owners in RK but even something like this happened, like the universe didn't bless me?"

Gently Van stroked Lara's face gently and kissed her lips briefly." Already, you don't think too hard about it, I don't want you to get sick. You better calm down now and then we'll think about all this. And about Jeden, actually I also think of you," said Vander

Lara touched the back of Vander's hand that touched her reddish cheek.

"Come on!" Van suddenly stood up and stretched out his hand while inviting Lara along with him.

"Where are you going?" Ask Lara curiously.

"Have come," concluded Vander convinced his girl.

And finally Lara grabbed Vander's helping hand and went wherever the man walked to lead her.

*

"Whose motor is this?" Ask Lara.

"Mine, quickly put on the helmet!" Decree Vander.

"Um— where are we going Van?"

Van immediately put on Lara's helmet while saying, "Have not asked much, you just follow okay...!"

Without much protest the girl followed what Van said. They also go riding a motorcycle.

Where's Vander taking me? But riding the bike hugging and leaning against his wide back felt so comfortable. At least make Lara calm.

After almost an hour of driving, Vander suddenly stopped his motorbike at a beach area. Both of them get off the motor take off their footwear and hold it while walking on the beach enjoying the wind that gushed against the skin.

"Ah to the beach this month, isn't it wrong? It's going to winter" Lara said, rubbing her cold arm in the wind. Fortunately today Lara was wearing a trouser suit with an arm top, but still the cold wind could pierce her white skin.

"Wear this!" Vander immediately gave her a suit to wear Lara.

"How are you?" Seeing Van wearing only a shirt, he became worried Vander had the flu.

"I'm used to the cold and the heat so I don't have a problem with either" explained Van who seemed to have no problem at all with the cold wind blowing.

The two of them joined hands and walked on the clean white sand of the beach. Vander did deliberately invite Lara so that the girl was not too stressed to think about the problems in her office at this time.

"Why did you bring me here?" Ask Lara.

"I don't want to see you stressed, you remind me of this place anyway?"

The half-wavy long haired lady smiled sweetly. "Yes I remember, this is the place where you expressed your feelings to me."

"Ehem, didn't you say you liked me first?" Tempting Vander until Lara's face reddened made because of shame, considering he was the first to express his feelings.

"Yes I did say it first" he said shyly admitting.

"But I fell in love with you first" concluded Vander who then faced Lara and looked at her while stroking her beautiful hair.

Lara caresses Vander's face and tiptoes kiss him affectionately. "I love you Vander."

"I love you too, this time please just for a moment forget about something else and focus on the two of us" Vander replied then hugged Lara and kissed her gently.

Vander's soft lips clung to his lips. They kissed until for a moment Lara seemed to forget a little about the problem.

**

Karina and Jeden are seen together at the bar, it seems like the two have indeed made a pact. There they laugh freely while enjoying drinks and music played by DJs.

"Cheers!" The two also toast, celebrating as far as the success of their plan to bring down Lara.

"You see Mr. Jeden, news of the demonstration at Miracle has spread everywhere. Everyone is thinking now how incompetent and bad the image of a Lara Hazel as CEO is" Karina laughed and sipped a drink back in her glass.

"You're right, actually I feel sorry to see my beloved woman. But..." Jeden squinted his eyes as if annoyed.

"But what?"

"But he prefers that rotten Vander!" Said Jeden frustrated and then downing the drink in his classroom.

Karina who was getting a bit drunk laughed. "Vander he rejected me for Lara's cheap jal*ng! Though I have nothing less than Lara," he said, looking drunk.

"It looks like we're the same fate as Miss Karina, but..." Jeden looked at Karina and said, "Unfortunately you're not Lara so I'm not interested in you!"

Karina half laughed mockingly and blusteryly, "You're not Vander either! Vander is more handsome and his body shape is much more athletic than you!"

"Curtain! He's just trash in front of me!" Omel Jeden pouring drinks.

"You're jealous of Vander physically, right? Hayo admitted it, "Ledek Karina who started slurping because of the influence of alcohol.

"Omong empty!"

"Yes yes... The point is Vander he's handsome and will soon be mine forever." he said in a dragging tone.

Jeden was running out of words seeing Karina who was already drunk at this moment. "You're drunk Karina!"

"Yes I'm drunk! Drunk love Vander," he concluded as if sad.

And who would have thought the man sitting next to Jeden wearing the hat was Aron. Since the beginning of sitting down to order a drink, Aron had heard Karina and Jeden's conversation. He paid for his drink and left.

**

Outside when Vander was enjoying a cigarette outside around the apartment, he was suddenly called by Aron.

Aron : Hello Van

Van: What's wrong?

Aron: You know, I'm in a bar right now, and I see a woman named Karina and a man named Jeden.

Van: What are they talking about?

Aron: They're talking about.(.Aron recounts all the talk of Jeden and Karina that he heard)

Van : Shit! So my guess is right, they conspired to take Lara down! (Listen to mara)

Aron: Van, they're not ordinary people. Inevitably you have to ask for help to overcome them. Because even though you're strong and smart, you still need the help of others who have positions and authority.

Van: I know that.

Aron: Well, then, since you know, I hung up.

Van : Yes! Thank ye.

Vander closed the call. His face looked cold as if he was thinking about something.

"May I have to go back to that place?" Vander thought about Crux. "But if I come back into contact with the organization, what about Lara?"

In the midst of his anxiety to think of himself and Crux where Vander used to live, before long his phone again vibrated. This time the number wasn't in his cell phone contact.

"Whose number?" Van was curious and immediately picked him up.

"Hello...?"

Hello Vander you're still my ear, aren't you...?

These sounds? Vander's shriveled line of eyes seemed to hint at something after hearing the voice of the woman calling him at this moment.
