Chapter 26 - A Plan
"Are you going to the party with me?" asked Dean, who occasionally glanced at Bryana who was sitting beside him.
"Of course," Bryana replied without turning her head.
"I'm embarrassed, it doesn't feel right for me to attend the party as your partner," said Dean as he continued to drive at an average speed. He is very relaxed and does not like speeding when it is not in a pinch.
"Why you shy?" Bryana asked.
"I don't know, I just don't feel confident. I just a bodyguard," said Dean.
.Bryana exhaled roughly, then turned to look at Dean who was still handsome wearing a black bodyguard suit, complete with a set of security equipment. The man looks very manly and just getting stout. because every night he still often exercises in his room at Bryana's house.
"Everyone's the same for me, Dean. Don't feel insecure just because of your professional status, you even really deserve and look like the boss I often meet when wearing a cool suit," Bryana said, starting to dare to praise Dean's good looks.
Immediately Dean smiled blushing. he looked shy for being praised by his beloved employer, but if he felt like he was hit when realized who he was. 'Remember, Dean. You can't get your hopes up with her. She's a big boss and you're only a bodyguard for her! ' he thought reminded himself.

Arriving home, Bryana immediately got out of the car and walked straight to the main door through the terrace where Calvin was waiting for her. She squatted and spread her hands and her son immediately scattered to hug her. Ah, what a beautiful sight it was, able to make Dean who had been walking following Bryana, dumbfounded.
'Oh my God, is it possible that I can get a wife who will love my daughter? I saw that figure in my employer,' thought Dean complaining to God. He just couldn't contain his admiration for Bryana.
Then, when will all these defenses remain strong? Could he not confess his feelings? Or even Bryana, who couldn't bear to express her feelings for the insecure bodyguard?
Calvin released his hug to his mother then kissed her cheek. Ughh. The boy is so cute.
"Why, honey? It's so unusual for you when mommy comes home and hugs immediately?" Bryana asked, raising an eyebrow, then kissing Calvin's slightly chubby cheek.
"Miss you, mom," Calvin replied with an amused smile, feeling his mother's smooth cheek.
"There's got to be something," Bryana guessed. "What do you want, Hem?"
"Watch a movie at the cinema," said Calvin.
"What to watch?" Bryana asked, frowning.
Dean is still standing behind Bryana, as well as Louis who is still standing behind Calvin, while Lauren has returned to the house.
"Watching new anime's movie," Calvin replied.
'To the cinema? What I have to do? I have to go to the party.' Bryana thought silently as she stared at herbs. She felt that she would be very disappointed in herself if she didn't do what Calvin wanted, but she also wanted to come to the party. Moreover, everything has been prepared neatly, you can't fail that!
Dean saw Bryana's restlessness. He understood for sure that his employer was in a dilemma. The man turned to glance at Louis, who could always be counted on to seduce and calm Calvin.
"Jill, maybe Louis can accompany Calvin to the cinema," said Dean.
Bryana rise to her feet and glanced at Dean who gave her advice and made her like that bodyguard even more. She glanced at Louis, who was standing casually putting his hand in his trouser pocket.
"Louis, please accompany Calvin to the cinema later. Lauren will be with you too," Bryana exclaimed.
Louis immediately smiled warmly. "Yes, Ma'am."
Louis smiles at the thought that he will sit with Lauren and be satisfied with her while Calvin will not be distracting because focused on watching a movie. My God, what is he going to do for that beautiful baby sister?
Bryana turned to look at Calvin, then led him into the house. Dean is still on the porch with Louis. And what they are talking about is?
"Why are you smiling?" asked Dean while looking strangely at Louis.
"Because I'm going to be together with Lauren," answered Louis with a mischievous smile, then sat on the edge of the terrace, staring at the sky slowly turning orange as it was getting late.
"Together, are you leaving Calvin? Don't miss!"
"Hey, that's not what I meant!" Louis stares in surprise at Dean who immediately accuses him of abandoning Calvin.
"So what?" asked Dean.
"I was able to chat a lot with Lauren when Calvin was watching, because all this time when we talked, that boy always bothered us," explained Louis.
"Hahaha ... Because your job is to protect him!" Dean chuckled with amusement.
Louis glanced irritably at Dean who was laughing at him. he remembered that his colleague had called Bryana by her real name, not by the title of bodyguard to his mistress, thus making him keep a lot of questions in his mind about the bodyguard's closeness to his boss.
"Anyway, since when did you call Bryana by her real name?" asked Louis with a probing gaze.
"Not long ago," said Dean.
"Woww, this is progress."
"What do you mean progress?" asked Dean, surprised.
"I felt the closeness of the two of you. You like her, right?" Louis even asked back.
Dean paused and immediately bent his face, looked at the floor, and saw a black and walking along with several other ants. 'I do like her, but I won't be able to tell. I have to introspect myself, 'he replied to himself.
"Hey, why are you silent?" Louis patted Dean's shoulder.
"We are only close as friends, don't think weird," said Dean then glanced at his watch, which showed the time at 5:45 p.m. He immediately got up.
"I have to prepare because within 30 minutes I must be ready to escort Mrs. Bryana," he said
Louis also stood up and walked towards the house together with Dean.
"Where are you going?" asked Louis.
"To the wedding," replied Dean.
Louis was silent and remembered yesterday seeing Dean come home from work wearing an expensive tuxedo. "Are you going to come to the party ??" he asked enthusiastically.
Dean only responded to the question with a smile and nodded. Secretly, he felt happy because he could be Bryana's partner.. But sometimes a feeling of inferiority still comes to his heart and makes him self-conscious that he is only being used as a temporary party partner.
