"I personally asked your brother to have you take the job because you have been recommended by some of my business partners. And they said nothing but good praises about you, that you are excellent at your job and that you take it so seriously. So why, Mr. Raptis? Why is it that I don't seem to have the same sentiments as them? Why is it that I feel like you are not what all my friends and my business partners had told me? Why is it that I feel like you are not doing an excellent job like I expected you to be?"

I clenched my fists. "I apologize if I haven't met your expectations, Sir," was the only thing I said. I made sure to meet his eyes as I hid my nervousness and put on a brave look instead, wanting to give him the impression that I am not someone he could easily break.

Honestly, I don't know if the way I was acting would put me on his good side. There's a huge probability that it would instead make me dislikable in his eyes, as he might think that I was being arr

  • GUARDED HEAT   CHAPTER 80 - LAYLAND

    The sleeping face of Gunner was what greeted me the moment I woke up and opened my eyes.I stared at him for a couple of minutes in wonder, confused why he was in my bed, sleeping with me. It was until the memories of last night slowly filled my still hazy brain that I finally remembered why he was with me.It was because I asked him to dry my hair and to lie down and sleep with me.A smile automatically appeared on my face as I continued to remember the things that happened last night—from how he joined me in the shower and gave me the much-needed hug I've been dying to get from him to how he dried my hair, holding and caressing each of my strands so gently as if he was afraid he would end up hurting me, down to sleeping beside me and hugging me so tightly as if he wanted to keep me safe from any harm. Gunner did not say anything that much. The words he spoke after joining me in the shower did not even total twenty, yet they were enough to comfort me and provide the peace and tranqui

  • GUARDED HEAT   CHAPTER 79 - GUNNER

    Lance and I did not exchange that many words. He did not ask many questions since most of his potential questions have already been answered by the report I have been giving him while the four of us—Layland, Ana, Stephanie, and I—were having dinner. And I am sure that Stephanie's parents have told him the same words I had reported to him.So after he informed me that he and Stephanie's father had already set a date for the next date of their children and told me that I will be accompanying Layland again, doing the same thing I was doing just a while ago, he had already let me go.I went to my room and stayed there for only a couple of minutes because I went out again and headed towards Layland's room. Of course I made sure no one was around to witness me going inside Layland's room.The door was locked, but thankfully, I have one of the spare keys to his room, so it was no problem for me. Once I was done opening the door, I immediately went inside—but not before making sure no one was

  • GUARDED HEAT   CHAPTER 78 - LAYLAND

    "We'll see you guys soon,” I said in a loud voice to Stephanie and Ana while waving at them as their car started driving away.Surprisingly, the dinner ended with the four of us smiling, which was not what I imagined when my father commanded me to attend this date. Stephanie is a lovely girl, and so is Ana. They are both fun and very comfortable to be with. I was not lying when I told Stephanie that they looked perfect for each other because they really are. I don't believe in destiny or in soulmates, but meeting Ana and Stephanie somehow made me want to believe in it."Are you ready to leave?"I turned my attention to Gunner behind me. Like me, it was obvious that he also had fun with the two girls that we had just met. There was a wide smile on his face. But it wasn't just that. His whole aura when he and Ana came over to our table exudes happiness, confidence, and sureness. It's like he just found something or someone that he really liked.Could it be Ana? They were having quite a

  • GUARDED HEAT   CHAPTER 77 - GUNNER

    "How long have you two been dating?" I asked Ana.She put down the glass of wine she was holding. "Two months now.""And I take it that her family doesn't know?""If her family knew about our relationship, I wouldn't be here with you, pretending to watch over their beautiful daughter to ensure everything goes well when the truth is, I'm here to make sure her date doesn't try anything inappropriate," she answered seriously.So she is also a bodyguard assigned the same task as mine.Having that thought, it was only then I decided to take a look at her properly. She's not wearing anything that screams "bodyguard" or "security" to me, but her whole aura exudes it. Then I realized it was probably she who informed Layland's father when we hadn't yet arrived."Well then, now that you've witnessed how they act around each other, what do you think?" I asked again.She glanced at the two, and a smile danced on her face. "I don't think I have to worry anymore. Especially after hearing the conver

  • GUARDED HEAT   CHAPTER 76 - GUNNER

    Layland and the woman, named Stephanie if I remember it right, are talking to each other with smiles on their faces.Both of them were feeling awkward just a while ago when they first met, and yet they looked so comfortable with each other now. It's like the awkwardness just a couple of minutes ago did not happen at all.And I did not like it.I couldn't hear what they were talking about that made Layland smile so wide. But whatever it was, I already don't like it.I like Layland smiling. I enjoy seeing him happy. I enjoy seeing him being comfortable with people, ones that won't potentially hurt him. But this one's different. Stephanie's different. She's not just any other person. She's someone who has a chance of marrying Layland. She's someone Layland could spend the rest of his life with.I knew she could never attract Layland. But I also knew that there was just a very slim chance, at least for now, of Layland not agreeing to marry her. And it's not because he's fine with marrying

  • GUARDED HEAT   CHAPTER 75.2 - LAYLAND

    "You're happy?" Stephanie asked in confusion.I nodded. "I am.""Why?" she asked again."Because I can see that we're on the same page regarding this date." My smile turned into a grin. "You don't like this, do you?"Stephanie did not answer right away. She just stared at me blankly, and for a moment, I thought I was wrong. But then her emotionless face turned into happiness and excitement, causing me to take a deep breath out of relief.It seems that I wasn't wrong after all.Stephanie opened her mouth and was about to finally speak when she suddenly stopped and looked around. Her gaze landed on a table just a couple of steps away from us, with a woman sitting on it.Their eyes met, and then they smiled at each other. And I was not naive enough to not know what kind of smile they exchanged. It's a smile that you do not normally give to someone. It's a kind of smile that you usually give to someone special.From there, it did not take me long enough to realize what was going on or to
