Naughty Lucian

As soon as we entered the mall, we immediately went to the clothing station. I tried on everything I liked inside while waiting outside. The first thing I tried on was a white high-low dress. It was pretty but I needed Lucian's approval if it was really pretty.

I came out of the dressing room and saw Lucian sitting alone in one of the empty seats while watching something on his cell phone.

"Lucian! Does this dress suit me?" I asked him.

He looked at me and took out his cell phone and examined me from head to toe.

"Turn around." he ordered which I followed.

I faced him who was now just staring at what I was wearing. I was nervous about this man. Was he still checking my clothes or was he judging me?

I waved my hand in front of him. "Hey! Are you still there, Lucian?"

He looked at me with his forehead furrowed. "You're so noisy! I'am currently thinking about how I can say this without hurting you!"

I raised my eyebrows at what he said.

"Why? What are you thinking?"

He scratched his head and smiled while still looking at me. "Ahm...to be honest, that dress you wore is beautiful. It just doesn't suit you. You look like a ghost."

I bit my lip hard and turned away.

"I'm going to try on new clothes. Thanks for your honest review Lucian. It's motivating." I said sarcastically and went back into the room I had changed into earlier.

While changing into new clothes, I heard him laughing outside. "Sorry, Miss! I was born honest! Let it be. You're still prettier than a ghost in the province!"

I just rolled my eyes and answered him. "You did an honest review, however there's also a mix of teasing and mockery! You're making fun of me!"

"No! I've never tried to make fun of anyone. I'm kind, very kind."

I coughed because of what he said. He looks like he's kind, right? The air and the thick face. "Who told you? Your mom?"

"Yes, even Grandma!"

I laughed softly because of his answer. He's so childish! He's so old but he still believe on that?

"Ah! You're Mommy's boy and Grandma's boy, right?"

"It depends. Why? Do you want me to be Celestine's boy? After all, we are not related. The only agreement is that you're the boss, and I'm your bodyguard. But, you can also take my last name. So that we will be related."he replied with a laugh at the end.

"You're so naughty! If you keep doing that, I'll really fire you from your job Lucian!" I kept an eye on him.

I didn't hear any of his answers so I went out of the room I was in. I was wearing a black lace-trim slip.

Lucian grinned and stood up as he walked around me. "That's it! You finally look like a human, Miss!"

I immediately stepped on her black leather shoes, making them fall off.

"Why are you stepping my feet, Miss? You're still wearing heels! Oh no! I'm in so much pain!" he said while holding his foot.

Instead of answering him, I went back inside and took off the clothes I had tried on. I was going to buy this and buy more.

When I came out, I saw Lucian sitting there still holding his feet. He looked at me and spoke.

"That's an honest review, Miss! Why are you stepping on me?"

"Is that an honest review? Well, that's just a tease Lucian! Remember this. We have boundaries, I'm the boss and you're my personal bodyguard. Not my personal life corrector. Okay? Let's go, let's buy more." I said and walked away.

"Hey! Wait for me, Miss!" he shouted behind me.

After we bought, I immediately walked to the parking lot. Upon arrival, I immediately got into the back seat while Lucian had just gotten into the driver's seat.

I saw him fastening his seatbelt while his mouth was pouting. What's wrong with this guy?

"You're so rude, Miss. Why are you sending me all your luxuries and carrying it all? They're so heavy! That's 10 bags in total, oh!" he complained while pointing at the things I bought that were all in the driver's seat.

I heard him start the car so I chose to keep quiet and not speak.

"Miss, it would have been better if you hired your own assistant. In short, someone who will carry your luxuries. I'm the one who watches over you but I'm not the one who will carry your luxuries." I heard Lucian complain.

I adjusted my seat and looked at him from behind. As if it was my fault? Lucian's body is big. Is he weighed down by ten bags? He's weak.

"You're complaining about your job, Lucian. Who's the boss between the two of us? Isn't it me? And besides, it's only your first day on the job but you're already complaining. Honestly, what exactly did you come here for? Work or to be a complainer at work?" I asked him.

"Just a suggestion, Miss. By the way, are we going home yet?" he asked while looking back at me through the rearview mirror.

I nodded in response. I was about to lean out the window when I saw Lucian smile and wink at me before looking straight at the road.

What a flirt!

All I could think about was what Lucian had done to me. What kind of person did grandma hire to be my personal bodyguard? Wasn't this already under grandma's interview? It's like grandma just directly hired someone who could be my bodyguard without any serious questions. Then, aside from that, grandma always smiled at him? What was that? Is there something between them?

I just shook my head because of what I thought. You shameless Celestine! Why are you thinking like that? Your grandma is such a senior citizen and after all, your grandma looks at Lucian as her grandson!

I just closed my eyes. Argh! Why is it Lucian? The man is feeling close to me! Disgusting!

"Are you okay, Miss?" I heard Lucian ask.

I opened my eyes and looked at him. "I'm asking you, Lucian. Did grandma just hire you without an interview?"

He looked at me in the rearview mirror with a serious face.

"I'm being asked, Miss. I got hired because I deserve to be a bodyguard. No one else. Besides, it's hard to find someone like me who is kind, has a long patience, and can watch over you 24/7. I'm a rare species, Miss. So, instead of asking me too many questions, just be grateful instead. Okay?"

He winked at me after a while.

A species. Yes, a very rare species! I'm annoyed!

"Here we go, Miss. Get out." he ordered me.

I raised my eyebrows at what he said. Wow, huh? If you could give orders, he'd be the boss! Wow, huh? You're so naughty,Lucian!

Instead of answering him, I decided to get out of the car. I heard him slam the car door.

"I'll go first. Bring everything I bought at the mall. Put it in the living room, on the sofa. Make sure no clothes fall out of the bag. Understand?" I ordered him while looking at him as he took out the bags.

He looked at me and gave me a salute while smiling. "Yes Miss! I'll follow you, my dear Queen!"

I just turned around because of the nonsense words he was saying. No matter what, he was always talking nonsense. There was no way I could stop him.

When I got to the living room, I found Grandma still reading the newspaper. Oh my. She kept on reading. It was like she was planning to get the world record.

I sat next to Grandma on the sofa. She looked at me so I immediately waved to her. I saw Grandma looking behind me. It was like she was looking for someone?

"Why Grandma?"

"Where is Lucian?" she asked me, her gaze still fixed on my back.

Lucian is really a star! Even Grandma has already won her heart! So, this is how it feels when you have competition. Okay, okay! That's how you are, Lucian! Then, I'll do my revenge.

Eh? I paused when I realized. That's childish of me. No! No! I won't take revenge. Besides, it's not Grandma's blood that flows through Lucian, Grandma will still go home with me.

"Lucian! You're here now! Oh my gosh, you're carrying so much!" Grandma shouted when she saw Lucian. Grandma immediately stood up and ran to Lucian.

I followed them with my gaze until the front of me. Lucian put the things he was carrying on the table and looked at me.

"Grandma, this Celestine, your granddaughter, is the naughty one. She doesn't pay me, but she made me carry her luxuries." she complained to Grandma.

Grandma looked at me with a frown. "Is that true Celestine?"

She was still looking at me with a pout. Lucian sat on the sofa in front of me and crossed his arms while smiling.

"He's my personal bodyguard Grandma. I don't like useless people either, Grandma, that's why I let him carry those bags. He's not a skeleton to break. Look! He's still fine!" I said.

I was startled when Grandma suddenly hit me on the head with a rolled-up newspaper. I held my head while there was intense pain in my face. I looked at Grandma full of shock. What was that for? That hurt!

"Don't talk like that towards your bodyguard Celestine! He may look fine, but he's still a human!" he said angrily.

I looked at Lucian who was now smiling and said something. "That was a good show."
