"Ms. Alvaro, can you call my bodyguard? Let him in on my office. " Shamia spoke to Pia using the intercom.
"On it, Mam."
The man soon entered. "Yes, Sweetheart? Miss me?"
"I need to talk to you about something."
Kaiser approached her and kissed her on top of her head. And she finds that gesture sweet.
"About what? Hmm?"
"I thought because ---" She could not continue what she was saying because she was still reading papers and signing.
"And?" she could hear the slight irritation in Kaiser's voice. "If you're busy, talk to me later I'm just outside."
"Ah no!" She's holding her boyfriend hot-headed now. "We can talk now, Babe."
Shamia stood up then started walking towards the sofa that was also inside the office.
She sat on the single sofa but the man pulled her towards the long sofa and sat her down next to him then hugged her.
"What are we going to talk about, Sham?"
"Wait! Why does your head seem hot? We left that house earlier!" She couldn't help but criticize his irritability.
"Why can't I be irritated? Did you close the door on me in your room last night? Then I went through the veranda the door was also locked? f**k!" He said but even though he was irritated, he was still not let go of his hug but he tightened it even more.
Shamia laughed. "That's all you're angry about?"
"I am not angry! I'm just irritated. You promise me that we're going to sleep together but you lock your doors."
"I didn't know I have locked it up. And for the veranda door, I always lock it every time I leave, I just forgot to open it when I arrived."
"Ugh, excuses!"
She just laughed at the man then retaliated with a tight hug.
"What are you going to say?"
"Ah, I remember what was discussed yesterday at the hacienda. And I want to do something about it."
She remembers what her mother said that it is not good to see that until now her bodyguard is him and at the same time boyfriend. Her Mom and Dad talked to her privately about it.
But because she's not comfortable with the man especially when she needs to attend some meetings and social gatherings. When she introduces her boyfriend the judgmental inevitably looks Kaiser gets.
Because he looks like a bodyguard because he's wearing a uniform and all, even if she doesn't want to dress the man like that, it is necessary because it was their protocol. So she decided to just remove it but maybe another employer would give it to him. The man may not agree if she will ask him to quit his agency. But she wants to try, she needs to try.
"What about it?"
"Uh ---" she doubted if he would say or what? "A-ah!"
"What is it?"
"Ah, because yesterday we talked with mommy and it's about our relationship."
He did not comment but she felt relieved when he hugged her.
"It's not what you think, babe!" Shamia immediately appealed. "Because Mommy said - a-ah it doesn't look good for you to be my bodyguard and boyfriend, too."
"So what do you want?" He finally let go of her and moved away.
"I-i'm firing you as my bodyguard ---"
"—The f**k !! -"
"And hiring you as my boyfriend."
He looked at her with wide eyes and when he understood what she said he immediately worshiped her with a tight hug.
"s**t! Damn it! You made me the worst there."
She just laughed at him. She immediately let go and walked away from her, so he laughed even more at her attitude.
"Don't laugh at me. What you did is not funny! " He growls.
"It's just that you don't have an agency? Maybe they will give you another employer, babe!"
"Don't worry I file a resignation tomorrow if that's what's worrying you."
"How about your family?" Shamia worries about his family because as far as she knows, the man provides for the family, and he the one supporting his siblings' study.
"It's Ok. I'll try to find a job that is not a hassle so we can always meet."
"I have an offer Kai'babe."
"What is it?" he approached again and walked over.
"There are vacancies here in the company, and if you want I'll hire you for that position."
"I have no experience, babe!"
"You can train, right?"
He seems to be forced to agree. "Okay."
Kaiser and Shamia decided to go home after filing a resignation letter with his agency. And when they return, Kaiser will start training in Shamia's Magazine. She wanted to personally assist and instruct the man.
And now, the couple is in the room packing things that Shamia will take when she goes to the province with Kaiser. And he says he also has something important to say when they arrive in the province. And it kind of bothering her a bit.
Shamia told the man that they would only use the company's helicopter to travel but he declined, saying it was too much attention. So the couple will just travel by land and he will be the volunteer driver. The vehicle they will take is the Lexus mini-van for comfortable travel.
"Be careful Shamia, Kaiser be careful on driving!" ordered by Manang Leny. Earlier the old woman ordered as they were leaving the mansion and they were just going to get into the van with the same instructions.
Be careful on driving, stop for a moment to rest if they're feeling tired, do not starve on the trip, and many more. Kaiser said that he will be able to take a break from driving because he will have to take a boat to get to the province, then drive again for about 2 hours.
Shamia just called her parents earlier to say goodbye.
