Keira had someone to escort Bonnie in the secret house. They also have a maid with them and their phones were already bugged and monitored. This time, no one knows the security system and it's a house with enough rooms for the four of them. They were protected by Keira. They soon reached the office. She doesn't want to bother her husband so much so she gets to work and takes the coffee that Johanna serves to her.

"I already heated that and we have to get back to work immediately. We have a meeting with the team that is organizing Louise's Album."

Great. Keira put her purse down as she took her phone, her access and Johanna took her tablet as they exited her office.

"There were already people who requested a deluxe album."

"Great! That'll be put on the funds for the materials that we are going to use and the rest will be to her name."

Johanna pointed the lunch box to Conrad.

"Eat that and stay there." She told him. Conrad was confused. "We will only stay in the building."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, we won't take long," Johanna told him as Keira snickered.

"Oh my… overprotective lover," Keira whispered as Keira winked at her.

"He's not my lover," Johanna mumbled as they went to the elevator with MJ and the appointed new Head Guard of the security team that is protecting them.

When they reached the recording room, Keira listened to the polishing of the recording while looking at the photos that Louise took while she's in the rest house. There's also her photo with Bonnie and the video of how they make a sandcastle and other things.

"These videos were permitted by Miss Louise to use for her recording," Johanna said.

"It's good for the Sandcastle that she wrote," Keira confirmed, and then the meeting continued.

Back in the office, Conrad started digging on the food that Johanna prepared for him. He even took photos of it and sent it to Johanna with hearts and kisses. However, she hasn't opened the message. She must be busy with the meeting.

In the lunch box, some hearts and flowers were made of carrots and tomatoes. He ate it happily and Vanessa entered Johanna's office with a cold milk tea from the fridge.

"Hi, Conrad." Vanessa smiled.

"Hey," He gestured to the food.

"I already had my breakfast." She gave the milk tea.

"Thank you."

"So, do you need anything else?" Vanessa smiled.

"Uh, none." Conrad shook his head. "Thank you."

Vanessa kept that smile plastered on her lips.

"Are you dating, Secretary Jo?" She suddenly asked. Conrad thought for a little bit.

"Well, you can say that." He winked.

"It seemed like you were closer to each other for a very short time."

Conrad just realized that it was only weeks, maybe a month now since he was assigned to her. He's simply attracted to her at the very first. She didn't show much emotion or expression to everyone and she's always sharp and professional. He never thought that she had a good sense of humor in her bones. She's also sexy and beautiful and super smart. He just fell to her instantly without knowing. He's supposed to be professional and he had escorted more beautiful women but never fell for them even though they seduced him.

"Yeah," Conrad nodded.

"But wouldn't that ruin your work?" Vanessa asked.

Conrad was confused as he watched her lean on the table. That's not the look of jealousy. Or maybe she's jealous.

"What work?" He asked and continued eating like they were talking casually.

"As her bodyguard," Vanessa said as her eyes looked downcast.

"Oh, that? I already resigned. I am not working as her bodyguard. I'm just her sexy-hot boyfriend." He said as Vanessa chuckled. "I was still trying out to be a boyfriend to her but she always ignored me." He said, sounding a little dramatic. "But I am telling you the truth. She's the coldest woman that I've ever met."

"Then, you like cold-blooded women?" She asked.

Conrad chuckled.

"You can say that." Conrad winked. "So, how are you and your boyfriend?" He asked. Vanessa was quite surprised by his question. "I assume that he's your boyfriend since he's picking you up."

"Yeah, we are fine." Vanessa waved off. Her telephone started ringing. "Excuse me."

Conrad watched Vanessa and he knew that her relationship with her boyfriend wasn't going well. However, it's none of his business. Once that he's done with his breakfast, he sipped on his milkshake and went to the restroom just around the corner of the floor, and washed up the dishes. He looked at the dishwasher and there's a specific sink for washing dishes and so on. He neatly put it on the drying rack.

He dried his hands and went back to Johanna's office and turned on the air ventilator. He leaned on the wall as he took out his phone and checked if Johanna received his message. It seemed like she hadn't seen it. But he needs to walk. He took her car keys and went to the elevator.

"Boys, I'll just buy something." He told them. They nodded and then he used the VIP elevator. He went to the Jeep Wrangler, opened it, and changed his clothes using the things that Chameleon gave to him. It wasn't bad at all but he won't be using the car. He took out his belt bag and locked the Jeep.

He left the building and put his earpiece on to speak to the person who was taking care of the house.

"Hey, Connor!" A cheerful voice of a man called. "I already set up your new house. I already explained the security system, right?"

"You did." He mumbled.

"Well, the bedrooms are settled too. The house is in the safest subdivision on earth, I assure you!"

"Good to hear."

"I already left the details in your room and enjoy your new house."

"Thanks!"

The man was the cleaner of EPUA. He claimed not to be included in EPUA and works as a real estate agent. But he's the one who covered up everything and gave an agent who retired a new life as he wished. EPUA had trillions of money and income from the big shots that hired them. They somehow failed with few securities but they managed to protect the people as their subjects.

When he reached the shopping center. He stretched his fingers making a sound.

"Here we go." He mumbled.

First, he went to the women's section and admired the lingeries. His eyes were in heart shapes as he imagined Johanna wearing them.

<><><><>

Johanna was confused when she reached the office and didn't find him there. So, she called him and he answered after a few rings.

"Hey, babe!"

"Where are you?" Johanna asked.

"I'm in the mall. Doing my shopping."

"Oh," Johanna was curious. Do bodyguards shop during the time of their duty? "Why?"

"Babe, don't leave the office. Okay?"

"I have to leave the office if Keira wants to."

"Babe, come on. Just stay inside."

"Why the hell are you shopping?"

"I have to burn the calories that I intake. Also, it's romantic of you to prepare a romantic breakfast for me." Conrad's voice sounds playful as always.

"I didn't prepare for that. Mom did."

"Your mom said that you prepared it. Don't deny it!" Conrad teased.

She exhaled and shook her head.

"Whatever,"

"I already ordered lunch from Asian Season, it'll be delivered later with the same chef yesterday. So, you don't have to call them. And it's nearly lunchtime. They'll be there on time."

"Thank you." Johanna sighed. "Asian season then."

"Babe, I have to go. Okay? What do you want? Roses or Tulips?"

"I don't need those. I'll hang up now." She hung up and entered Keira's office. She's now busy with signing a few papers on her table.

"Uh, Conrad is not here in the building." She told her as Keira raised her head.

"Yeah, I just received a notification that Conrad is not a member of EPUA, or let's say. There's no Conrad from EPUA."

Johanna was even more confused.

"So, he's not my bodyguard anymore?"

"No. He's not your bodyguard anymore, formally."

"Okay," She nodded. "Then, I am free to go back to my penthouse?"

"No." Keira chuckled. "You will still stay with Conrad. I thought that the two of you are living together?"

"Keira, stop teasing me." Johanna approached her with a few more documents to sign. She already read it and verified it.

"Conrad requested to let you off early. He mentioned that it's around three."

She felt completely puzzled. Since Conrad is not a member of EPUA then what is he? Why does he still linger around? She's sure that it's completely connected from last night. And probably, his nightmare from the other night was the reason why he left EPUA. Or is it because he slept with her? There were the reasons that she had thought. But why did he still want to move into a place that he set up?

"Jo, I think you like Conrad too. And since the two of you have been doing that 'deed' I think you should just go with him."

"You think so?" Johanna creased her brows.

"Why not? He's protecting you and I can't say no to that." Keira grinned. "Plus, the two of you seemed to enjoy each other's company."

"Then, this is your way to tease me."

Keira laughed and waved her to leave.
