Bumping Accident | Englot

Chapter 35

Engfa's POV

It's been a few days since Chompu's birthday. My father called this morning and asked to see me. I haven't seen him since the event, so I agreed.

I grab my car keys and open my front door. As I walk to my car, I hear noises behind me.

"P'Sun, I spotted you the moment I stepped out," I say, still facing my car.

I've known P'Sun for a few years now, since our time in Italy. When I left, he came back with me. Even though he's only four years older than me, he acts much older, always wearing a serious expression. He takes his job seriously, and while he might never admit it, I know he has a soft spot for me.

"Did you now?" he asks.

I turn around to face him as he walks towards me.

"I learned from the best, what do you expect?" I reply, which he already knows. The night of Chompu's party, when I held up two fingers, it was a signal to be extra vigilant. Now, of course, I have to tell him why.

"Get in, we can talk on the way to my parents' house." He nods and goes to the other side and gets in.

I also get in and start the car. I drive to the main road and try to gather my thoughts on what I'm going to say.

"I want two bodyguards on everyone, and I mean everyone."

"Is this about that Jack guy? You seem on edge," he asks.

"I just have this uneasy feeling. I know everyone has one bodyguard right now, but I want to be safe." We reach a red light, and I look at him. We make eye contact, and his piercing brown eyes soften.

"Okay, boss, I'll make it happen by tomorrow."

I look forward again as the light turns green.

"Should I call P—"

"No, don't call her," I quickly interrupt. I glance at him to see his serious face again.

"She sent me with you to protect you, and if you're in danger, I have to tell her."

"We've been back for four years, and you still can't admit that you wanted to come. She didn't force you, you were just going to miss seeing me." I give him a playful smile and look back at the road.

From the corner of my eye, I can see him roll his eyes.

"Don't tell her, please. If you do, she'll come here, and she's already on my ass about not visiting."

"What's so bad about her coming here? She'll bring I—"

"Stop saying their names. They both have a habit of showing up when you say their names," I interrupt again.

"P'Sun, you follow me like a hawk 19 hours a day, you know why they can't come here. No one here knows."

"But they've been here before, so I don't see the difference," he says.

"I haven't been to Italy in three months. Three months, which means when they come here, a certain someone will probably try to kill me for not visiting every month."

"You're dramatic, but she will probably smack you," he says, slightly laughing.

"You know you work for me, so I shouldn't even be begging you not to call her."

"You're like my second boss, and if something happens to you, she will probably kill me, so I like to be safe rather than sorry."

I so badly wanted to say that he doesn't care about her killing him; he's just going to be sad if something happens to me, so he's trying to prevent that. He denies it every day, but I saw him cry when I was in the hospital.
