"Who are you?" the man asked. His tone was insulting. Even though there, Emma's parents were in front of him.
"Let me introduce myself, I'm Richard Karl. The Bodyguard of Miss Emma Stewart," Richard replied without losing his prestige. Richard stood up straight and showed his dominance over Emma to this man.
The man smiled and then turned to Emma with a mocking look. "You even have bodyguards now, Emma? I can't believe this." The man clearly wanted to mock Emma. See how the man talks. It seemed like Emma and the man knew each other.
"Jonas, can you get away from my daughter? Haven't you two broken up? Why do you have to bother her?" John–the father did not accept it because the man had abused his daughter in a public place like that.
"Uncle John." The man called Jonas smirked as he looked at John. "You must be happy now. Your daughter has suddenly become a superstar. You used to have a hobby of begging."
A hard slap landed on Jonas' cheek. "Shut your mouth! How dare you insult my father!" Emma slapped Jonas, her ex-boyfriend, in front of many people in the restaurant. Some people took Emma's picture. They don't want to miss a moment like this.
Richard immediately restrained Emma, who was very emotional. He immediately arrested Jonas and took him out of the restaurant.
"Let go of me, you bastard! Don't touch me! You don't know who I am!" shouted Jonas.
Richard stood up to Jonas' body just like that so that his body fell down. "I don't want to touch you either! But you've bothered my client! So I have to get rid of you!" Richard was very firm in front of Jonas.
Jonas Hugh, Emma's ex-boyfriend. They broke up two years ago because Emma had caught him with another woman in Jonas' apartment. He is the son of a reasonably influential official in this city.
Jonas was always dominant and looked down on Emma because she was poor, and her career was never promising. Even though Emma has worked a lot on many film projects. Even if only as an extra.
"I won't let you! Watch out. I'll do the math with you!" Jonas threatened Richard.
"Do what you want, Sir. I'll deal with it. I'm not afraid of anything. Although you're the son of someone who has some influence in this town. I don’t care!”
After saying that, Richard rushed in. He let Jonas do just like that in front of the restaurant. Richard broke very quickly into the restaurant but didn't see Emma. She only saw her parents sitting near the fountain, whose existence had indeed become an icon in the restaurant.
"Excuse me, Mr. Stewart. Where is Miss Emma?" asked Richard.
"She went to the toilet," said Fera. "She must be crying."
"Why? Why should she cry?" asked Richard.
"They used to love each other when they were in a relationship. But everything changed when Emma discovered that her boyfriend was having an affair." Fera tells the story of Emma's romance with Jonas. And Richard didn't want to worry. He immediately looked for me, Emma, in the toilet.
Richard walked very fast. He wanted to get to Emma quickly. Once in front of the women's toilet. Exactly, he couldn't come in. He waited in front of the toilet. Several women were seen going in and out of the bathroom. But Emma didn't appear either. And, of course, made Richard worried . Still one day being a bodyguard, he had already gotten into trouble with Emma. The girl is indeed full of misfortune.
Richard repeatedly looked at his watch. It's been twenty minutes, and Emma still hasn't come out of the toilet. Richard tried to get up the courage to peek. But some women screamed when they saw Richard.
"I am sorry, ladies. I don't mean to be rude. I was just waiting for Miss Emma Stewart. Is she in there?" Richard spoke a little loudly from outside the toilet.
The women looked at each other. They then looked into one of the toilet cubicles. A woman's voice was heard crying from the room.
"She's at the end of the toilet. She looks like she's crying," one woman replied.
"Could you guys come out and let me in, ladies? I have to coax Miss Emma out," said Richard.
The woman immediately went out of the toilet. They saw Richard standing in front of the toilet. At first, they were afraid. But after seeing how handsome Richard was, instead, they started flirting with Richard.
But, Richard ignored them. He went straight to the empty toilet. He purposely locked the door so that no one could enter.
"Miss Emma, are you in? It's me, Richard Karl. Are you alright?" said Richard from outside the booth. But Emma didn't answer. He was still crying in the toilet cubicle.
"May I come in, Miss?" asked Richard. He didn't want his client to be in a bad situation. Richard sauntered, reached out his hand, and set up the toilet door. When the door opened, Richard saw that Emma was sobbing. Her makeup was a mess too.
"Miss Emma? What's wrong?" asked Richard. He immediately grabbed Emma's body and carried her out of the toilet cubicle.
Richard grabbed Emma's body and looked at the girl's face. "Tell me," said Richard. Unfortunately, Emma didn't want to say anything. She was still sobbing. The heartbreak with Jonas hurt her too much to make Emma sad.
Richard hugged the girl's body. He tried to give warmth to the crying and to stop. He used to do this for crime victims from missions he had done when he was a secret agent.
"It's okay; you're safe with me, Miss. Don't be afraid," said Richard. He even gently stroked Emma's head. Until she can calm down.
Emma's tears subsided. But he didn't want to let go of Richard's arms. Though he had to immediately meet Albert. And his parents were waiting outside.
"I'll give you five more minutes to win you over, Miss Emma. We need to get out of here. People will think we're doing the wrong thing here," said Richard.
Suddenly, Emma woke up. He let go of Richard's arm. "Sorry!" Emma was speechless because she unconsciously hugged this man.
"It's okay. I am your bodyguard," Richard replied.
Emma looked at Richard for a moment. But a second later, she turned her gaze to the mirror. "Oh my God!" shrieked Emma. She saw that her makeup was messed with by her tears. "Oh, how is this?" Emma really panicked.
"What's wrong?" Richard asked because he didn't understand.
"My face is a mess. Albert would be mad if I didn't wear makeup," said Emma.
Richard wondered why Albert had to be angry? Isn't their current event a family event and very private? Why should Emma care about her makeup?
"You're still beautiful without makeup, Miss Emma. Just wash it off with water," said Richard.
"No! The paparazzi will write bad news about my face. I have to fix it."
Richard tried to use his mind. Soon there was a knock on the door outside. Richard rushed out to find a solution.
Women are surprised to see a handsome man come out of the women's toilet. But Richard ignored them.
"I am sorry. Did you bring me your makeup kit, Miss?" asked Richard.
"Y-Yes. Why?" asked the woman.
"May I borrow it?" asked Richard.
