Shield- Protecting the one you love

Chapter 3

Tanet is unable to focus on anything since their meeting with the security services team. That guy's face flashed on the screen every time he tried to do some work on his laptop. He is getting agitated and kept taking his anger out on his staff.

Tanet: Is this the file that I asked for? Why can't you do even a single work properly?

Staff: But Sir.

Tanet just glares at him and that stops him from talking further.

Tanet: GET OUT

That person quickly takes the file and walks out of the cabin as Rune and Daw enter the cabin.

Rune: Why are you being a tyrant right now?

Tanet: I am not being a tyrant. They just don't know how to do their jobs.

Daw: Oh! really?

Tanet just nods his head.

Rune: I thought it has something to do with the fierce eye guy that we met earlier today.

Tanet: RUNE

Rune: What? I wasn't the one who is blushing like a tomato when he kissed your cheek today.

Tanet looks at Rune in shock.

Tanet: I...I am not blu..blushing. I am just angry.

Rune: And now Mr.Confident Tanet Wang is stammering.

Both Rune and Daw start to laugh seeing Tanet's embarrassing face.

Tanet: argh

Daw: Relax Tanet. He is just joking.

Tanet: I don't like such jokes. I don't want to see that jerk again.

Daw: But he is your bodyguard. He needs to be with you 24/7.

Tanet: Why don't we exchange?

Daw: No way. I like Kla. He is funny.

Tanet gives Rune a pleading look but he just shakes his head in no.

Rune: I am not giving mine to anyone. He is my private property.

Tanet and Daw together: PSUN

Rune just gives them a sly smile.

Tanet: I knew it. That's why you were so interested in Shield Security Services.

Rune: Aha

Daw: But how?

Rune: PSun is Mr.Li's nephew and the head of their security services.

Tanet: You sly fox.

Rune: Well the heart needs what it needs. I have been eyeing PSun since our university days. He has always been a good senior but I need more. This is the only way to keep him close by.

Tanet: Hmm. You seem to have thought this through.

Rune: Of course. I am a businessman. I always have a plan.

Tanet: All the best.

Rune: ThanksTanet: But I am stuck with that idiot.

Rune: Well you will find a way to tame him. You always do.

Rune and Daw look at each other and smile seeing their friend's irritated face.Later that day:It is already 10 pm and Tanet still had some pending work. He decides to take the work home as he is unable to concentrate in the office. He saves all the data and turns off his laptop. He collects all the required files and his laptop and leaves the cabin.As the elevator reaches the ground floor, there is an eerie silence in the parking lot. All the people in the building had already left for their home and Tanet is the only one left behind. Tanet was trying to open the car when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He starts to shriek like a little girl but the person holding Tanet clasps his hand over his mouth to stop the loud noise. Then he hears a familiar voice in his ears.

"Don't shout. It's me Veera."

Tanet turns to look at Veera in shock. Soon the shock turns to anger and he pulls Veera's hand off his mouth.

Tanet: What the hell are you doing?

Veera: I was waiting for you.

Tanet: Why?

Veera: Because I am your bodyguard and my duty starts the moment the contract was signed.

Tanet: I don't want a bodyguard right now.

Veera: Well it doesn't work that way. As per the agreement, clause 3, you need to have a bodyguard with you 24/7.Also, as per clause number 6, you need to listen to your bodyguard without any questions if the situation demands your protection.

Tanet just shook his head in despair as Veera looks at him with a smirk on his face.

Tanet: Okay. Get in.

Veera: No. I will drive. It's part of my job.

Tanet just shrugs and gets into the passenger seat.Veera gets on the driver's seat and looks at Tanet. He then leans towards him.

Tanet: Wha...What are you doing?

Veera keeps on moving and now his face is close to Tanet's face. Tanet closes his eyes tight and holds his breath. Suddenly he hears a click sound and he opens his eyes to find Veera back in his seat looking at him with a smile.

Veera: Seatbelt Sir. Safety first.

Tanet: You could have just asked me to wear the seatbelt.

Veera: Maybe next time. Can we go now, Sir?

Tanet: Hmm

Veera starts the car and drives towards Wang Mansion. Tanet was impressed by his driving skills. He hardly said a word and kept his eyes focused on the road. Maybe he was wrong about him. He may prove to be a good employee.

Veera: Sir

Tanet: Yes

Veera: We have reached your home.

Tanet: Huh

Tanet was shocked to see that they were already home.

Tanet: How do you know my house?

Veera: Research. I like to study my client well before taking on the job.

Tanet: Huh.. okay.

Veera: Tomorrow what time would you like me to come and pick you up?

Tanet: 8.30

Veera: Okay. I will be here at 8.15 sharp sir.Veera parks the car and hands over the key to Tanet. Tanet then walks towards his house.

Veera: Sir

Tanet turns around to find Veera standing just behind him. Veera quickly gives a kiss, shouts a goodnight, and runs away from there. Tanet stands there in shock for a second.Tanet: WHAT THE...Tanet knew at that moment that Veera meant trouble.
