Richard waited for Emma, who was putting on makeup. He managed to borrow makeup from a restaurant guest who was about to go to the toilet. And Richard was waiting outside.
After finishing with her makeup, Emma came out of the toilet. She looked at Richard and smiled slightly stiffly at her bodyguard. Her embrace of Richard was still warm and imprinted on Emma.
"Are you ready, Miss Emma?" asked Richard.
"Yes, I'm ready," Emma replied.
"Very well. I will escort you. I have asked your parents to see Mr. Albert Mountain first."
"Yes," replied Emma. "But Jonas…."
Richard raised an eyebrow when Emma mentioned Jonas' name. "You don't have to worry, Miss. I've taken the bastard out of the restaurant," said Richard.
"Really?" Emma tried to ask for confirmation. She was really uncomfortable with Jonas' presence.
"Really," Richard replied. His eyes stared intently at Emma. Really, Emma was entirely captivated by this man's gaze. Richard never failed to make Emma's heart beat faster. Especially after hugging Richard earlier.
"Alright, Miss Emma. Please," said Richard.
They headed to where Albert was with Emma's parents. They look so relaxed chatting together. And Fera didn't hesitate to talk a lot about Emma to her daughter's boss.
Emma, who had just arrived, was confused because they were too familiar. She sat down and tried to be friendly. But it seems that John realized that his daughter had just cried.
John took his daughter's hand. He knew how hurt Emma felt because of what Jonas had done to her.
"Are you alright, Honey?" asked John.
Emma smiled and nodded at her father. Albert Mountain noticed how John was watching Emma, as if something had happened.
"What's wrong, Emma?" asked Albert.
"Nothing," Emma answered. Albert must not know about Jonas. It would be very complicated if Albert discovered that Emma had dated Jonas.
That night they had dinner with great enjoyment. Albert could talk to Emma's parents in a friendly manner. He also tried to explain to Emma's parents that all this was done for Emma's success in her career. After all, Albert gave reasons that the details of the contract that neither of them were attached to. As a result, John and Fera agreed that Emma would move to an apartment that had been decided by the agency.
Meanwhile, Richard stood by them and looked around. He is very central but also alert. He didn't even budge when the guests of this restaurant stared at Richard. Several women seemed to admire the dashing and handsome Richard.
"Okay, today Emma is going straight to the apartment with Richard," said Albert. "You both need not worry, Mr. Stewart and Mrs. Stewart. Emma will be safely guarded by her bodyguards. The company will always protect Emma. And ... I must say goodbye because I have other business."
Albert stood up from his chair. Likewise with Emma's parents. Richard had also started to prepare.
"Mr. Richard Karl, you take them home. After that, go to Emma's apartment," Albert ordered Richard.
"Very well, Mr. Mountain. I'll do my job," said Richard.
Albert hurriedly left after tonight's dinner. While Emma was still sitting. It seemed the girl was still in shock.
"You want to go home now, Emma?" Fera asked her daughter.
"Mom, I'm sorry. I want to sleep at home actually ... " Emma felt unable to leave her parents' house. She had lived there for years. Now suddenly, Emma has to move. It feels cumbersome. Plus, Emma's meeting with Jonas earlier.
John knew this was not what the princess wanted. But John knew this was for the best. Emma is now a superstar. He can have a life of his own. John stood up and took Fera's hand. "You go back to the apartment. Mom and Dad will take a taxi home," said John.
"Dad, no. I'll take you home," Emma said. She couldn't have blinded her parents to take a taxi at night.
"It's okay. We're not kids. You hurry home and get some rest. I'll prove my cake shop again. And you can calmly do your job. I hope you're happy now, Emma," John said.
Since splitting up at the restaurant with her parents, Emma became discouraged. When she arrived at his new apartment, she just sat in the living room and was silent.
Richard also felt a little awkward because it was his first time looking after a woman, and they had to live together. But Richard had to be professional. Protecting someone is not a new job for him. But not with pretty girls and living together. It's really awkward.
"You don't want to rest in your room, Miss Emma?" asked Richard. He saw Emma just silent on the sofa.
Emma glanced at Richard. Look at the handsome man. It was unthinkable in her life that Emma would be living in the same place with strangers.
"Don't you find this strange?" she asked. "We don't know each other, and we must live together. This isn't right."
Richard snorted when he heard Emma's words. He was also trying to act like everything was fine. But Richard could integrate emotions, so it wouldn't be noticeable if he was nervous.
"It's already my job. You don't have to feel awkward," Richard replied.
Emma looked at Richard. The man who would always be with her for a time that Emma did not know. "Why don't you ever smile?" Emma suddenly asked Richard something quite frontal.
But Richard didn't take Emma's question too seriously. "Because I am a bodyguard. I have to control my expression," Richard replied.
Emma did not accept Richard's answer. I feel dissatisfied with such an ambiguous answer. She chose to stand up and face Richard. Right now, there are only two of them. And Richard certainly didn't have to show Emma his stiff expression.
"Keep smiling," said Emma.
"What?" Richard didn't understand why Emma was suddenly acting like that. "
"In this place, just you and me. You can relax. I know you're on duty to look after me. But now there's no one. Now, keep smiling," said Emma.
Richard didn't smile at all. He looked at Emma very intently. Until the girl became awkward. She could never fight Richard's gaze.
"Get some rest, Miss Emma. I have to rest too," said Richard.
"Oh yes." Emma suddenly felt embarrassed that Richard had ignored her. But he wanted to be friendly. She didn't want to be awkward around Richard all the time. She doesn't like awkward situations.
Emma moved into the room that was prepared for her. Meanwhile, Richard was sleeping in the room next to Emma. But Richard was not used to sleeping in bed. As soon as he entered the room, Richard took off all his clothes and rushed to take a shower.
Emma had finished changing when she suddenly wanted to pee in the bathroom. She ran out and opened the bathroom just like that.
"Oh, My God!" Emma screamed as she opened the bathroom door.
