Second Marriage: My Strongest Bodyguard

"Yes, sir," replied Beny, Bryana\'s personal chauffeur.

"I\'ll be back in two hours," Raymond said then quickly got out of the car. he smiled looking up at the not-so-majestic apartment building. \'Hopefully, she is here and will be angry at my sudden arrival. Her frown when she\'s angry makes her look so beautiful,\' he thought with a smile.

Because today is the weekend, Monica takes the time to clean up while listening to the music she plays not too loud. Because if it\'s too loud, other apartment residents will demo it.

Monica mopped the floor occasionally while dancing to the accompaniment of Selena Gomez\'s song, entitled "Rare". Wearing only thigh-length blue jeans combined with an oversized white t-shirt and ponytail her hair carelessly, the girl looks very cute and adorable. she danced as if she enjoyed her day off while cleaning the apartment.

Knock... Knock... Knock...

Someone knocked on the main door of Monica\'s apartment. Monica, who was busy mopping the living room floor while listening to music, didn\'t even hear the knocking sound.

Monica joined in singing even using the floor mop as a speaker.

Raymond, who entered because the door was not locked, smiled amusedly at Monica who was singing. Seeing Monica with a simple appearance with eccentric behavior made him even more excited. he kept silent while smiling until the viewer realized his presence.

"Raymond!" Monica looked at Raymon with wide eyes. She immediately turned off his MP3 with an unbelievably embarrassing feeling. \'Gosh, how long has he been standing there? Did he see what I did earlier? I don\'t think I have the face anymore to meet him,\' she thought while scratching her head that didn\'t itch.

Raymond walked over to Monica who was leaning the floor mop against the wall. "Why stop? Isn\'t it finished yet?" he asked with a warm smile.

"There\'s a guest, work has to stop," Monica replied then walked into the living room bypassing Raymond. "Erm... what do you need here for?" She asked nervously.

"Want to meet you," Raymond replied turning to follow Monica.

Monica sat on the sofa and saw Raymond who was now also sitting opposite her. She was still embarrassed and nervous. "Have you had breakfast?" She asked incoherently, failing to focus.

"Not yet," Raymond replied as he continued to stare at Monica very intensely. "Would you like to cook for me?"

"Hah!" Monica was surprised, then tried to stay calm and asked, "Um, what do you want for breakfast? Er, I mean, why don\'t you go to Kareen to make breakfast for you?"

"I don\'t have an appetite for her food anymore," Raymond replied with his gaze still focused on Monica who always caught his attention. "I want to taste your cooking before I go."

"Where you will go?" she asked.

"London," Raymond snapped.

Monica nodded in understanding because Raymond was a London national. She was silent as if she had run aground after knowing the man in front of her was about to leave.

There was silence and sometimes they looked at each other until Raymond said,

"I want you to do something for me."

"Do what?" she asked

Raymond sighed and bent his face as he remembered when Monica and some people said that Kareen was only using him as a tool to get close to Dean, but he didn\'t believe it and instead kept in relationships with Kareen until he realized something was wrong with her.

"I realized I was stupid, always choosing the wrong girl for me to be my life partner," he said regretfully.

"Why you say that? Did Kareen cheated on you like Elsa?" Monica asked with a pitying look at Raymond.

"No," said Raymond.

"Then, what has made you feel wrong to choose her?" asked Monica in surprise.

"She wants Dean. She only uses me as a tool to approach Dean. And just so you know, now she lives under the same roof with Dean and Bryana," Raymond explained with a sad look. He couldn\'t deny that his heart was also hurt by Kareen\'s love skit and instead ignored Monica who was a good girl for him.

"How could that be? How did she come to live in their house? This is a bad thing, Raymond." Monica asked in an attitude that was no longer awkward or relaxed. She even seems to be in a rage.

"I asked her," Raymond replied.

"It\'s crazy!" Monica groaned at Raymond.

"Monica, I did that to prove that she was not good I had no choice to bring her to live with Dean and Bryana," Raymond explained.

"Oh, you\'re going to use Bryana and Dean as tools to prove Kareen\'s kindness? what if she\'s dangerous and could break Bryana and Dean\'s relationship? Didn\'t you think of that?" Monica asked annoyed. She turned her face away from Raymond and stared at the flower painting hanging on the wall.

"She pretended to be terrorized," Raymond said.

Monica turned to look at Raymond who looked serious. "Terrorized? How do you know it\'s fake?"

Raymond immediately explained about himself having listened to Kareen\'s conversation with someone on the phone yesterday afternoon. he was sure that the one his girlfriend was calling was a mercenary who would pretend to terrorize her. The man was very sure of his opinion because his family\'s enemies had never carried out a cheap act of terror like the one that happened to Kareen last night.

"So, Kareen is paying people to pretend to terrorize her?" Monica confirmed.

"Yeah, that\'s how she got to live with Dean. At first, she pretended to refuse and said wanted to move here but I know it was just an excuse to pretend to refuse. because I know that her connection with you is very bad," Raymond explained with a hateful image of Kareen. "I asked her to move into Dean and Bryana\'s house because I wanted to know how determined she would be to fight her obsession with Dean."

"But it\'s dangerous for Bryana. She could be reckless because her mother once said that she had tried to end her life when Dean married another woman a few years ago," Monica said angrily he was very worried about Dean and Bryana who had just felt relieved after the incident of falling down the stairs caused by Carlos\'s men.

"I\'ve asked my trusted bodyguard to watch over her. I make sure everything will be fine until I find evidence of her cunning and deter her," said Raymond with full confidence.

"Then, what can I do about this matter?" she asked.

"Stay at Dean and Bryana\'s house. help me keep an eye on Kareen because I have to go back to London on important business," Raymond pleaded, then took Monica\'s right hand. "You\'re the only good girl in my eyes right now...."

Monica withdrew her hand from Raymond\'s. "I can\'t possibly live there. What\'s the reason? I hesitate."

"I\'ll think about it," Raymond said again. "Besides, Bryana would like it if you lived there."

Monica nodded in understanding and said, "I\'ll try to keep things under control and make sure Kareen won\'t be able to break Bryan and Dean."

"Yes, you should," Raymond exclaimed with a relieved smile. He is increasingly attracted to Monica who is willing to do anything for Bryana without expecting anything in return.

"By the way, you said you\'d cook for me? How about I help you and we\'ll have breakfast together?" Raymond asked with a smile.

"No groceries, because I\'m just going shopping this afternoon," Monica said with a shy smile.

"If there are no groceries, why ask for breakfast? That\'s weird." Raymond glanced at Monica in surprise.

"That was...." Monica didn\'t continue her words. "Eh, I\'ll just order fast food in front of this apartment. I\'ll treat it," she said with a smile so sweet.

"Okay, there\'s nothing wrong with accepting an offer to be treated by a beautiful and kind girl like you." Raymond nodded and smiled glancing at Monica.

Monica blushed with her rosy cheeks like boiled crab ready to eat. She was so embarrassed by Raymon\'s compliment that she failed to focus on getting her smartphone in her room and instead walked to the kitchen.. of course, it made Raymond smile amused, and exasperated at her natural demeanor.
