My Bodyguard My Obsession
Keeping Secrets

The next day......

Leona woke up when she smelled a fragrant smell. Leona blinked her eyes, seemingly confused for a moment by the new place she saw but then realized that she was in Ethan's place last night. Leona got up and sat on the bed. He rubbed his face and yawned.

"Hey are you awake????"

The voice ripped Leona away. He turns and finds Ethan closing the refrigerator door. The man held the milk and poured it into the pot to warm it up. "Breakfast is ready, and I'll warm up the milk, you can sit for a while and then go take a shower, then have breakfast together.. Ah yes, Miss Kaia sent you clothes, there are work clothes and ordinary clothes, whatever you want to go to the office or to any other place, I will take you.. " Submit Ethan.

"Kaia's here??? When and how did he know???" Leona asked confusedly.

Ethan smiles. "She knows the problem that happened yesterday at your parents' house, she was very worried and searched and contacted you but your phone seems to be missing in the car, I've picked it up, it's on the desk.. " Ethan points at the table where Leona's phone is.

"Why didn't you wake me???" Leona Protest.

"You're very sound, I don't want to bother you, and yes, don't worry about Miss Kaia's vacation, today she'll still be leaving because if she doesn't leave, you'll definitely be mad at her... "

"It's good that if he leaves, I haven't given him a long time off...!"

"Go take a shower and change your clothes, before the breakfast is cold..!!" Tell Ethan.

Leona moved and she went to the bathroom. Leona knows why Ethan went out of the apartment last night, and the man found Kaia. Leona actually wakes up when she hears the alarm on the door opening, she realizes Ethan is away and she intends to leave the man's apartment, but she is irritated when she realizes he is in the lock from the outside. Then when the man returned to the apartment, Leona returned to the bed. He also sees Ethan walk into the bathroom, peeking at the words that pretend to be closed. Leona also hears Ethan's voice talking on the phone. Leona chose to get up and eavesdrop outside the bathroom. He very clearly deduces that Ethan is talking to Gemma.

Ethan apologizes to Gemma for canceling their meeting. Actually, Leona also knew from the second conversation in the chat, considering that Leona had tapped Ethan's phone so that he knew all the conversations of the man including the activities on Ethan's social media. Leona was monitoring him well. Ethan lies to Gemma about what really happened. For Leona it is natural because there is no way Ethan will say about his existence here, because it can make Gemma later be able to reject the love of the man. Leona doesn't think Ethan is smart enough to lie and find excuses.

***

Leona comes back to Ethan, who is sitting on the couch. At the table there was already breakfast and milk with oreo crumbs that seemed to be the man's favorite drink. Leona rarely sees Ethan drinking coffee, the man drinks juice, milk and plain water more often.

"Sit....!!! We eat together...! I only have milk so we'll have milk" Take Ethan.

Leona sat on the sofa. They will eat there considering Ethan does not have chairs and a dining table because his apartment is only a small apartment. Leona stared in the direction of Ethan.

"Why?????" Ask Ethan. "I didn't put that blue pill in so you could calm down... " Tap Ethan then the man laughed out loud. While Leona's face looked flushed with embarrassment.

"Sorry for my childish attitude last night..!" Leona muttered.

Ethan stopped laughing and looked at Leona. "What kind of childish behavior???" Ask Ethan.

"I'm too emotional and I can't help myself.. I'm sorry I cried, I rarely do that.."

"Leona...??? Why are you saying that??? Crying is normal for someone, not just you, I also sometimes cry for some things, cry not as long as it signifies we are weak, we are weak, but sometimes we need it to forget everything in us that we have been enduring... I really understand how you feel, so that's okay... " Tell Ethan then throws his smile.

"I'm sorry about the drug, too, I just gave it to you.."

Ethan smiles. "You shouldn't have done that, I'm disappointed but you did.. Forgetit.. Now spend the food, we have to go to the office, your work will definitely be a lot because Miss Kaia is away for a few days.. "

Leona nodded and she started to enjoy Ethan's breakfast. She is happy if Kaia decides to go on vacation, her best friend has not been on vacation for a long time considering always being busy with work in the office that is endless. And Kaia definitely needs to refresh her brain. Libr a few days will make him feel better.

"Ethan....!!!" Call Leona.

"Yes???" Answer Ethan.

"I hope you didn't tell anyone what I told you last night, I don't want Papa to hear it.. "

"Yes, I understand very well, no need to worry, I'll keep it neat.. Are you sure you're going straight to the office??? I mean maybe you need a walk.. "

Leona shook her head. "Kaia's gone, I have to take care of all the work, I'm fine, so take me to the office.."

"OK then.. "

Leona looked at every corner of Ethan's apartment. Last night he didn't pay much attention and it turned out that this place was pretty awesome. Although in the habitation of a man, this place is very neat, the right furniture arrangement, and the appropriate paint. Ethan is amazing at turning this little place into a comfortable place to live in.

Ethan puts down his spoon and smiles at Leona. "Is it like that??? I think your place is much better..."

"You make this not-so-broad place a very comfortable place to live in, I really like it... "

"I designed it myself.... You're right, it's very convenient hehehe... By the way I also really like Fine line, a very simple house, but very comfortable to live in, let alone not crowded, there is no frenzy of vehicle sounds, no frenzy, and we can only hear the sounds of nature, such as the sound of waves, birds and wind.. So peaceful, you chose a very nice place... " Tell Ethan.

"Fine line used to actually belong to an old grandmother, she used to live alone with her husband but then her husband died, she was alone and chose to sell it, because she wanted to spend her time in a nursing home, she said, he couldn't possibly live in such a desolate place alone, if he died surely no one would know.. When I found out that someone was selling the place, I immediately became interested and bought it, I just changed the furniture and the paint, which was old, replaced with new.. ". Leona. Fine line is his favorite place, quiet m, comfortable and has a very nice view.

"Your taste is unmitigated... Hehe... " Praise Ethan.

After finishing breakfast, Leona asks Ethan to wait for her because she has to make up first, and in addition to bringing clothes, Kaia also turns out to bring her makeup tools, along with shoes as Leona's equipment to the office. Kaia already knows very well what Leona needs without Leona having to ask her directly.

"I don't understand why women can be so understanding of each other's appearance.... Unasked, Miss Kaia brought you a makeup kit too.. " Ethan muttered while Leona sat on the couch, Ethan's work chair stared at the small mirror, and was busy polishing her face.

"Me and Leona have been together for many years, we understand each other, even for the unexpected things that I didn't think of, Kaia could immediately realize... He's a good friend and partner, we're like brothers... "

"That's very clear how you two have always been compact together. Even if you look around your face is very similar.. "

"You're right, a lot of people are saying that too... " Switch Leona. Kaia is indeed his best friend and the person who understands him the most. Leona never considered Kaia to be her subordinate, and considered her like a sister. There is nothing better than Kaia. Leona needed her the most, and they shared their joys and sorrows together for several years. Kaia is the son of her late Papa assistant, and they became acquainted with her and have made an extraordinary friendship to date.

His afternoon.....

Ethan drives a car to drive Leona home. Leona has been working all day and needs to rest comfortably in her apartment. Ethan's gonna take her home, and then he's gonna come home, too. Tonight he's back to set an appointment with Gemma. Ethan can no longer procrastinate because he misses Gemma so much. They're going to dinner together. And Ethan intends to take Gemma to a fancy restaurant. There must be more effort to get Gemma.

"Ethan....!!! You can go home after driving me, I don't want to go anywhere and just want to rest at home.. " Murmured Leona who was in the back seat. He knows that Ethan is going to dinner tonight with Gemma.

Ethan nodded. "Thank you..." Her speech. And in Ethan's heart he pranced happily because of this speech he had been waiting for. Leona told him to go home. So he can meet Gemma and let go of longing.

"Oh yeah how is Gemma??? I'd love to meet him, haven't seen him in a long time.. "

"He's good, I'll take you to meet him sometime.. "

Leona tried to smile. "Then what about your relationship??? Is Stuck gonna be there???" Ask Leona.

"I'll take another step forward, and Leona can I ask you something???" Ask Ethan.

"Wanted what???" Ask Leona back.

"Given that I will also keep your secret well regarding your parents, can you also take care of what the two of us have done before???? Keeping that from anyone especially Gemma, we do it consciously and to make ends meet, so can you keep that for my relationship with Gemma??? I want to express my feelings to her in the near future... "

"Oh that, hahaha of course not Ethan, I won't tell Gemma. Besides I myself have asked you to keep it from outsiders including other bodyguards why I also have to tell Gemma, it is the same as provoking a commotion later.. After all, in the fine line we are just the two of us, so what a woman and a man will do when both of us in a house, it's a very ordinary thing, really, they'll always end up making love, but when I'm in my apartment it's because I gave you that medicine, out of your control, right??? Just relax, don't worry.. " Murmured Leona lightly.

"I hope we don't repeat it later, if I'm already in a relationship with someone.... In my life there is no such thing as betrayal in a relationship.. " Say Ethan.

Leona was silent for a moment and smiled. "Yes, of course it is very important, we can no longer do it under any circumstances, consciously or unconsciously, I hate betrayal myself.. " Leona lied to please Ethan. For him if there is no official relationship like marriage is not important if there is a lie in a relationship. But it would be different if they were married. The same thing happened to both parents.

****

Ethan finally returns home after driving Leona. As is customary, he came home using public transportation which is taking a bus. In addition to leaving in Leona's car, also because the distance of his apartment to Leona's apartment is so far that it is not possible for him to pedal a bicycle as usual.

Ethan sends a message to Gemma setting the time at which they will meet. And Ethan has also determined which restaurant he and Gemma will go to tonight. Ethan begins to be loyal to someone who is very fond of him, and if Gemma later becomes his lover, Ethan would want their relationship to be more serious, and not just playing around. If you can, Ethan will also ask Gemma to stay with him as proof of his seriousness to the woman.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Gemma prancing happily gets a message from Ethan. They'll have dinner at an expensive restaurant. Gemma knows that Ethan like her is going to start being more srius with her and this is a great opportunity for Gemma. He can finally make Ethan melt with his charms. He must make excellent use of this moment and bind Ethan to get closer to him.

Gemma knows that Ethan turned out to be nothing like she had imagined. The man who looks simple and not neko-neko turns out to have a lot of money in his account. The nominations are pretty fantastic for a guy like Ethan. And Gemma knew it from an account she found in Ethan's closet while picking up a hairdryer in the man's closet. That makes Gemma must be able to attract Ethan's attention even deeper so that the man falls in his charm.
