Love Unexpectedly

Chapter 6

This day is getting worst. I woke up feeling like a raging headache is coming. Then my dress which I plan to wear today is nowhere to be found. Perks of having to live alone. I thought sarcastically. Even after three years of living alone, I'm still not used to being without a maid following me around and under my beck and call.

I do have a personal assistant that I usually call every time I need anything. Tina usually manages my daily calendar and communicates with everyone who wants to see me or meet up with me. She arranges whatever is need in my penthouse which comprises cleaning, storing food in the fridge, fixing my bedroom especially my closet, and other things.

Unfortunately, she's not here today because I ask her to take a few days off with her family. Now, I'm totally in chaos. My schedule is in total *pardon my french* fucked up, I missed a lot of appointments and my clothes are in disarray and I don't know where I placed the new ones or the ones coming from dry-cleaning. I'm starting to regret my decision.

Every night I'm always tempted to call her and tell her to come back. But I tried to resolve myself that I can do this. I can manage my life with less hassle. Well apparently, I was being too assuming.

And now, my driver called-in sick so I have to be with my Dad's driver Lucas who drives like someone is always chasing him.

I don't how Dad handles it or maybe because he's always on the phone either typing or talking that he never notices how Lucas drives. Mom and I would end up having a headache or feel nauseated after he drives us around.

"Huff" I plop down on my bed. "Can this day get any worst?" I say aloud.

I shouldn't have asked that because an hour later I was standing in front of Dad's bodyguard. "Hey, Rob! How are you? May I know what you're doing here?" I asked perplexed.

"Carl called in a favor to accompany you for a week since his wife just gave birth. Said, he wants to take care of them himself."

"What? Really? I didn't know his wife already gave birth." Now I feel like a self-centered person, I didn't even know what's happening to my employees.

"Oh, he said he messaged you late last night." Well, that explains why I haven't checked my emails and messages on my phone. I didn't have time since I've been busy looking for a dress to wear today.

"I need to call him and congratulate them on the new baby." I told Rob excitedly.

"Oh and Rob we need to pass by a gift shop to buy some presents for his wife and the baby and maybe I can visit them this weekend." I said distracted by while thinking about what to buy for the new addition to their family.

"Wait, you said you'll be my bodyguard for the whole week?" I stop and look at him. I know he is but I'm still hoping that Dad would find me a new replacement for a while and not his trusted bodyguard.

See, Rob is the most loyal and obedient bodyguard of my father. You can't hide anything from him. If he finds out something amiss he would directly report to my father. And he follows you everywhere you go. Even if you go to the bathroom he would wait outside. One time I told him not to follow me in the toilet since I find it weird and awkward. He simply said I'm sorry I can't, I'm just following orders, Miss. Your father said I should tail wherever you go and I would, even if I look like a pervert man standing outside the women's bathroom. He said to me with a smile. He's a nice guy really. I've already met his kids and they were delightful but when it comes to personal space Rob's not the best guy for me.

"Yes Miss, your father instructed me to be with you for the whole week until Carl is back." He assured me.

"Oh uhm great! I'm happy you're accompanying me." I told him smiling widely. But deep inside I feel deflated.
