Chapter 10 - Over Protective
The itinerary to Bali has arrived. Now, Dean and Bryana, and Carlos are at the airport to check in.
"Mrs. Bryana, I have ordered you a ticket," said Carlos.
Bryana frowned. "Why? I can buy tickets myself."
Carlos smiled faintly, then said, "I invited you, so I'm also the one responsible for paying for everything, Mrs. Bryana. You don't have to be."
Bryana let out a rough breath then turned her head to glance at Dean who had been silent behind her. "Dean, I'll buy a ticket just for you. Because I already bought it," she said later.
Dean only responded with a nod and then let Bryana buy tickets for him because she was busy yesterday and forgot to book tickets. He glanced at Carlos who seemed to be looking at Bryana with a look full of suspicion, he felt Carlos deliberately asked Bryana to be alone.
'The way is very ancient. Just watch out if he dares to mess around, I'll break his neck!' thought Dean secretly disliking Carlos from any side.
until a few minutes of waiting, they were invited to immediately board the plane with the other passengers. Bryana sat right next to Carlos, while Dean was far behind her. the two of them sat in the business class section and for some reason, Bryana felt uncomfortable because Dean wasn't around.
"Why Mrs.?" asked Carlos, watching Bryana look nervous before the plane took off.
"It's okay, I just think of my son," Bryana answered lied because she wanted to be near Dean.
Dean walked over to Bryana then sat on the chair next to her which was still empty, he glanced at Bryana who looked surprised because of his move.
"You moved here?" Bryana made sure.
"Yes, Ma'am. because my job is to protect you. So I should be here, near you," explained Dean with a flat look. Now and then he glanced at Carlos, who seemed to be deliberately sitting close to Bryana.
"But you were behind, why did you move here?" Bryana asked.

"I upgraded the ticket," replied Dean. Somehow he cleverly worked out his way to move near Bryana too. At least Bryana was feeling comfortable again and Dean could also watch Carlos's movements.

After nearly two hours of flight, Bryana's plane finally landed at a famous airport in Bali. Dean immediately took Bryana's hand to guide her off the plane, whether what made the man overprotective, because of work or because of feelings of jealousy? which he certainly didn't like the way Carlos looked at Bryana.
"Dean, I can walk myself," said Bryana.
Immediately Dean let go of his grip on Bryana's hand. "Sorry, I just want you to be safe it's too crowded here and it looks like Mr. Carlos has other intentions," he said later.
Bryana frowned then looked back to see Carlos who was walking after her.
"What other intentions do you mean, Dean?" she asked, looking up at the taller Dean.
"I don't know, you have to be careful," Dean replied then turned to set foot on the stairs.
Bryana thought too much about Carlos' intentions, so she didn't realize that she had reached the stairs and almost fell because her feet weren't quite right. lucky Dean caught it.
'Oh damn! I can't let myself get caught up in her charm,' Dean thought as he stared fixedly at Bryana's cute eyes.
"Mrs. Bryana." Carlos arrives worried because Bryana is about to fall.
Bryana immediately stood back up and Dean took off her grip.
"Thanks, Dean." Bryana was awkward again. Dean's cold gaze as he helped her as if she couldn't just forget about it.
"You're all right?" Carlos looked worried.
"As you can see, Mr. Carlos. I feel fine because someone is always taking care of me."Bryana glanced at Dean, who is always her helper.
"Thank God, let's go to the hotel where we are staying. The hotel is also the meeting place for the CEOs later," said Carlos.
"All right, come on Dean."
Bryana took Dean's hand and continued down the stairs. Bryana's soft hand seemed to make Dean's body tremble. Who knows how long he hasn't felt the touch that made him feel a tremor in his heart, because after Clarissa died, he closed himself to anyone.

Upon arrival at the hotel, Bryana was escorted by Dean to room number 324 while he would sleep in room number 340. the distance is very far compared to Carlos who will sleep in room number 327.
"If you need anything, I'll be in front. You can call me," Dean ordered before leaving.
"You go back to your room, Dean. I'll be fine here," Bryana replied. "Anyway, soon I will attend the meeting, you better take a shower and get ready to come with me there," she continued.
"Okay, excuse me." Dean immediately came out of Bryana's room. he rushed to her room which was far from Bryana's.
upon arrival, he immediately took off his clothes and stared at himself in front of the bathroom mirror. 'Dean, you should be self-conscious, you should take care of your feelings more so you don't fall for her more, remember yourself! Remember that you are only a guard for her. you are just a grain of dust to her, she has everything whereas you are only her bodyguard! '
Dean's inner god seemed to keep reminding. Dean turned on the shower, let his burly body poured over the cold water, as cold as his heart which had long been untouched by the warmth of love.
"I have to control myself!" Dean emphasized himself.
After taking a shower, Dean immediately changed into his signature black bodyguard, installing safety equipment to fight back when someone suddenly attacked or put Bryana in danger.

Bryana stared at her reflection in the mirror. She already looks charming wearing a white top combined with a maroon blazer and wearing a skirt with a color matching her knee-length blazer, pinning some of her hair back, make-up that is not too thick. The woman looks very charming even though she will only attend formal meetings.
"Perfect!"
Bryana got up from the chair and then walked over to pick up a white branded bag. sHe walked towards the door and immediately opened it. Right then Dean will knock on the door.
"Dean."
Dean stared at how charming Bryana was until he choked for a moment.
"Dean." Bryana smiled at Dean who was just silent.
"Ah yes, are you ready? I am ready to take you wherever you go," said Dean after waking up from his reverie, he was nervous and embarrassed because he could not control himself to admire how charm his employer made him stunned.
"I have to meet Mr. Carlos first, we approach him now," said Bryana then walked to Carlos's room which is only two rooms away from her.
Knock ... knock ... knock!
Bryana knocked on the door. Dean was still standing behind her.
Check ...!
Open door. Carlos looked at Bryana who already looked neat and beautiful, he was stunned and looked at her with a sensual gaze.
"We'd better go now, Ma'am. Because I heard from the employee, many guests from the meeting have already arrived," said Dean glancing at Carlos, displeasingly.
Bryana could only smile at Dean's attitude, who had been showing his dislike for Carlos. "Ah yes, we better go there now," she said.
Bryana deliberately walks with Carlos, while Dean stays behind him.
"I'm sure he likes my mistress, his eyes are really bad." Dean stared coldly at Bryana and Carlos in front of him.
'What if he likes your employer? He is a rich man as well as handsome, you have no right to ban or control. You are just a guard, you are nothing! maybe she didn't be like Clarissa who accepts you for who you are.' Inner god Dean reminded him again. Ah yes, it was Dean's mind trying to remind him who he was.
Is it wrong for a bodyguard to like his employer who is so charming, even able to vibrate his body just when he saw her smile? Dean was getting caught up in Bryana's charm ever since he first saw her.
