Chapter 4. Seeking Attention

In the morning, Bryana is having breakfast with Calvin and Raymond. She was neatly wearing a black dress combined with a white blouse top with ribbons on her sleeves. The young mother looks even more beautiful because of the thin make-up and her untidy hair that is partially pinned back.

"When are you going to Jakarta again?" Bryana asked between breakfast activities.

"I have no idea." Raymond shrugged his shoulders, then brushed the hair of Calvin who was sitting beside him. "If my work is not busy, I will come. Because surely this boy will make me miss," he said anxiously to his nephew.

Bryana smiled faintly seeing Raymond who loved Calvin. For some reason, since yesterday she was amazed by Dean who loved his daughter and now his brother also shows affection for her son. There is a sense of wanting to have a husband like them again, but that feeling is always hindered by the trauma that befell her due to Alex's treatment. it made her reluctant to have a relationship with anyone until now.

"Uncle has to come here often, so I can play with uncle," Calvin said as he looked up at Raymond. He also loved his uncle so much.

"Uncle will try to come every month, Cal," Raymond replied, then spooned the soup into Calvin's tiny mouth. Because since earlier he was the one who fed his nephew.

"Jill, if there is anything suspicious or anything you think is strange, you should immediately take refuge in Dean or Louis, Likewise Calvin, can't play too far." Raymond was wary.

"I don't think Alex will bother anymore because he must have moved to Paris with his new wife," said Bryana.

"He is already gone, but he has people ordered to harass you again. I'm disgusted by him because I deceived you with love and intend to kill you. If we could find evidence when he stabbed you until the future brother Calvin died, surely I would imprison me."

Bryana sighed while remembering the incident two years ago. The memory seemed never to fade, it was still very clear and it seemed as if she could feel the pain of being stabbed and thrown from the car bleeding too.

"I'll be vigilant," said Bryana as she finished her meal.

Raymond nodded in relief, then his gaze fell on Dean who had just finished breakfast at the maid dining table. The bodyguard is wearing black jeans combined with a white t-shirt that displays his burly sleeves. Even though he was dressed casually, the man had sophisticated equipment attached to his ears and provided a gun that was attached to his pants.

Feeling his name was called, Dean immediately approached his employer, then stood in front of him across from the dining table. He was standing right beside Bryana who had finished breakfast.

"Have you read all your assignments?" asked Raymond.

"Yes, sir," replied Dean.

"Good. You have to work extra carefully and don't let my sister get hurt," said Raymond.

"There's no need to overdo it. I'll take care of myself too," Bryana replied.

Dean just nodded and didn't budge again, waiting for Bryana to get out of the chair.

"I'm leaving first." Bryana got up from her chair and walked over to Calvin. "Cal, don't play too far. Mommy wants to go to work first," she said, then kissed her slightly chubby son on the cheek.

"Come on, Dean," said Bryana as she walked out of the house across the living room. Dean walked behind Bryana with a flat gaze.

Arriving at the yard, Dean immediately opened the car door for Bryana to enter, then closed it again. He immediately got into the wheel because he was Bryana's driver as well. This burly man immediately drove his employer's sports car to the office.

While in the car, there was only silence. Now and then, Bryana glanced at Dean, who remained silent with his gaze focused on the road. Even the man didn't put on music to break the silence. Bryana always played music in that car.

"Ehm." Bryana tried to break the silence.

However, Dean remained focused on driving.

"Dean." Finally, Bryana called.

"Yes, Ma'am?" Replied Dean with his formal call.

Bryana sighed in exasperation and glanced curtly at Dean who was calling him like a master again. "Why call like that? I told you, we can be friends. Not just employer and bodyguards!"

"But we are currently at work, Ma'am. I'll just assume we're friends at home," said Dean without turning his head.

"It's up to you." Finally, Bryana gave up. she got up from her seat and leaned forward, then stretched out her hand to press the mp3 button while glancing at Dean who was still looking forward.

'He's very different, unlike last night. Why is there a man as level as him, even I don't care like this,'

Suddenly Dean saw a cat about to pass, he immediately stepped on the brake pedal suddenly so that the car stopped avoiding hitting the cat.

Bryana immediately fell and hit the front of the car seat. because she was too busy glancing at Dean and the car stopped suddenly. Her intention to seek attention instead made her fall and embarrassed at the handsome bodyguard.

"Jeez." Dean turned his head to look at Bryana who had fallen. he immediately pulled the sports car over, then helped the employer get up and get back into the back seat.

Dean looked at Bryana who was straightening her hair so that she could see that her forehead was slightly scratched. The man swiftly took the available first aid city and took the plaster, then put it on his employer's forehead.

"Sorry, a cat suddenly passed by," said Dean exasperatedly. his face was very close to Bryana's. until several times he realized who he was dealing with and felt it was inappropriate to get too close. The man immediately returned to the steering seat.

"It's okay, it's just a little scuff," Bryana replied, fixing her hair. she felt nervous because the look in Dean's eyes, who had stared at her so intensely, seemed to be able to break her heart which had always been cold to every man.

Dean immediately drove Bryana's sports car back to the office. and again there was only silence in the car until it reached its destination.

A very faced man with thick beards stared at the photo of Bryana and Raymond. He took the match in his pocket, then burned the photo while staring at it filled with hatred.

"I will never let you escape my pursuit! After what Darlene has done to my daughter," said the man as he stared at the photo of Bryana and Raymond which was slowly burning to ashes.

Raymond asked Dean to guard Bryana very tightly maybe because there was danger from the man burning the photo. It seems that there is resentment that started with Stevan Darlene, Bryan's father.
