"Are you okay, Miss?" Rex, the caretaker, asked nervously after seeing Miss Kaylin nearly hit by a car.
"I'm fine," although her elbows were stinging from abrasions, at least she was still alive. Remembering how fast the black car was that almost hit her.
"Thank goodness, Miss. Luckily, there was a gentleman—" the caretaker searched for the whereabouts of the man who had saved Miss Kaylin.
"Who, sir?"
"The man who saved you, he was here just now, but..." he looked in all directions. "Well... That man who saved you," he pointed to a man who was walking away from their location.
Kaylin stared at the straight back of a man wearing a black suit. But before she could call out, the man had already entered the car.
"Why do I feel like I know him?" Kaylin whispered to herself.
The next day.
News about Kaylin almost getting hit by a car finally reached the ears of Kenan Meyer and Cleopatra. The two immediately returned to Jakarta, even though their work in Bali was not completely finished.
"Starting today, I am assigning a personal bodyguard who will accompany you wherever you go!"
"I don't want to, brother!" Kaylin said with the typical face of someone who just woke up.
"We're not negotiating, this is an order!"
"But I don't want to," Kaylin yawned several times while trying to hold back her sleepiness. How could she not be sleepy, it was only nine in the morning and she had been woken up to listen to her brother and sister-in-law's nonsense. "I don't need a bodyguard, I can still take care of myself."
"Can take care of yourself? Did you forget that you almost got hit by a car yesterday? If no one had helped, who knows what would have happened." Kenan decided to have his sister guarded by a special personal bodyguard not without reason. Because accidents like yesterday's had happened three times in the past month. Kenan was afraid that his sister would become a target of his competitors who felt resentful for always losing in winning a tender.
"Almost, but look, I'm fine, right?"
"Kay!" Kenan snapped.
Cleopatra, who had been silent all this time, began to win her husband over as he appeared to be getting emotional.
"And one more thing! You said you can take care of yourself? You can't even take care of yourself properly!"
"What? What do you mean, brother?" Kaylin's sleepiness turned into emotions all of a sudden.
"Tsk, look at yourself in the mirror! No woman wakes up at this hour, and even your drool stains are still visible."
"Really, brother?" Kaylin reflexively wiped her lips and cheeks, then smiled when she realized how messy she looked. "That's not right, brother. I just woke up and was dragged here. My mouth must still stink, thankfully there's no one else here."
"You..."
"Enough, why do you two always argue?" Cleo, who had been quiet until now, spoke up when she saw Kenan getting more emotional. She didn't do it to help Kaylin but because she wanted their matter to be settled quickly so she could rest. "Kay, are you sure you don't want a personal bodyguard?"
"Of course," Kaylin answered firmly.
"Sure? He's very handsome, and—"
"Good morning, Sir, Madam."
Everyone in the room turned to the source of the voice, including Kaylin. They looked at the handsome, dignified man who was now standing in the same room as them.
"Alexander..." Kaylin's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as she was surprised by the arrival of the man who used to be her lover.
Meanwhile, Cleo almost laughed when she saw the surprise on her sister-in-law's face. "Alex is going to be your bodyguard? Are you sure you want to reject him?" Cleo whispered.
Kaylin herself ignored her sister-in-law's whisper because she was still shocked by Alexander's arrival. Especially when she found out that her ex-boyfriend would be her personal bodyguard.
