Second Marriage: My Strongest Bodyguard

In Bryana's office, Monica was sitting on a chair at the desk. She was busy replacing the position of her boss who turned out to like to order her more than when she was secretary. Big salaries are promising, but being the most reliable is exhausting. luckily that woman was a typical person who was relaxed in handling everything her boss ordered.

Right now, Monica is on the phone with someone. "It must be sent to that address this afternoon because tomorrow morning the invitation must be distributed," she exclaimed firmly.

"Yes, ma'am," replied someone from the phone.

Monica disconnected the phone and turned to stare at Kareen, who had just come into the room with a pile of files that Bryana had to sign.

"Like it or not, you have to go to Mrs. Bryana's house to ask for her signatures," Kareen exclaims with a mocking smile at Monica who looks troubled.

"Luckily you are her assistant because it turns out that Mrs. Bryana likes to play truant and it will make you work hard," she continued as she sat in the chair while putting down the pile of files.

Monica sighs then smile a glance at Kareen who thinks she's dizzy. "I take it easy because this is easier than being a secretary. And so you know, Mrs. Bryana is very disciplined, but today she skipped because she was prepared for a birthday celebration for Dean's daughter," she said with amusement.

"She prepared Sofia's party?" Kareen immediately frowned.

"Yes, I just ordered the invitation. Mrs. Bryana is at Dean's house and I'll be there too, I want to see if they are really in a relationship or there is love between them," Monica said, then got out of the chair.

'I thought she did approach Dean on purpose,' Kareen thought irritably.

Monica immediately put the files that Kareen brought, into a special black bag for file containers. After that, she left the room and left the daydreaming Kareen.

"Monica!"

Kareen was startled and immediately followed Monica who had just arrived at the door.

"Why?" Monica asked turning towards Kareen.

"I'm coming, it's lunchtime," Kareen exclaims.

"You'll be late here again because Dean's house is too far away." Monica looked doubtful.

"Don't worry, I won't be late," Kareen assured.

"Wait, I'll take my bag for a moment!" she exclaimed, patting Monica on the shoulder.

Monica sighed and nodded in agreement. But she wondered why Kareen always wanted to get involved in Dean's topic? even her cousin chose to stay with Dean's house, even though she had enough savings to buy an apartment or could live with her.

'Who will Dean choose? I am being curious.' Monica also walked towards the lobby of the magnificent office building. Kareen also followed her jogging a little until she arrived at the elevator.

At Dean's house, Bryana was pasting a series of shiny colored papers with the words "Happy Birthday" on the living room wall. Dean and Louis put the ropes to hang ribbons of various shapes and colorful inflated balloons, while Calvin played with Sofia in the living room accompanied by Lily.

Who knows? Calvin likes meeting Sofia. he didn't even mind when his mother was considered a mother by a little girl who was a few months away from him. Lily also felt happy to see the intimacy, she even admired Bryana's humility who considered everything like family.

"Lauren," Bryana called out, putting up a large "H" cut of paper.

"Yes, Ma'am," said Lauren, who pasted a piece of paper in the shape of the letter "A".

"Why was it taking so long? Do you have to go home first?" Bryana asked investigating.

"Ah, no. That was ..." Lauren was suddenly nervous.

"Earlier we stopped to buy food for a while and pressed it in the car because I was hungry. Calvin didn't know because he was sleeping," explained Louis, who was still standing on the chair to put nails.

"Oh." Bryana nodded in understanding, but she still felt that something was hidden from Louis and Lauren. "Next time if it's a little slow, contact me. I'm afraid something will happen because Calvin is always the target of his father," she exclaimed later.

Dean who was on the other chair beside Louis, only smiled faintly glanced at Bryana who was back to acting firmly on Lauren and Louis. He likes it when the woman is assertive, formal, but behind it is very cute and wild. the image of dancing and moments accidentally close together seemed to always flash through his mind, making him unable to stop smiling.

"Dean!" Called Louis while glancing at Dean who smiled glancing at Bryana who was with Lauren.

"Ah, yes. why?" Dean turned back to focus on Louis.

"I feel... someone is in love." Louis glanced at Dean with a seductive smile. He handed over the hammer and nails that Dean was going to use, while he was going to tie the ropes to the nails that were already attached to the dots near the ceiling.

"Don't be silly!" exclaimed Dean back to being flat.

Bryana who is downstairs smiles and realizes who Louis is teasing. 'I'll see, how long you can stop yourself from falling in love with me,' she thought, smiling.

When the time is 12:15 p.m Monica has arrived at Dean's house. Of course, she was with Kareen, who seemed to always want to take part wherever Dean was around. She walked towards the open main door carrying a briefcase filled with work, while her cousin walked behind her.

"Good afternoon," Monica said with a friendly smile. she glanced at those inside who were busy decorating the living room, then her eyes looked for the figure whose birthday tomorrow was but could not find it.

"Monica." Bryana turned to look at Monica.

"There is a file that you must sign, ma'am. that's why I came here," Monica explained, then walked over to the sofa.

Bryana stopped the activity of putting up wall hangings. She turned towards Monica, but her steps stopped when she saw Kareen also come and smiled greeted her.

"You also come here. Isn't it a hassle in the office?" Bryana asked. Somehow she didn't like it when she saw Kareen.

"Lunchtime, ma'am. Incidentally, I forgot to bring my cash, that's why I joined Monica who was coming here," explained Kareen, full of lies.

Monica shook her head and glanced at Kareen with displeasure. she did not know since when her cousin was good at composing words.

Bryana nodded in understanding and walked over to Monica, while Kareen went straight into the living room toward her room.

Dean and Louis were still focused on decorating the room by attaching balloons to the ropes they had stretched from each side of the wall.

Until a few moments, Bryana was busy reading the files that needed to be signed by her. Suddenly Sofia came from the living room with Calvin. the two boys simultaneously called Bryana the "Mommy"

"Mommy, I want ice cream!" exclaimed Calvin.

"Me too, Mom," Sofia exclaimed.

Monica is dumb founded, staring at Sofia, who calls Bryana a "Mommy". She looked down at the little girl who looked very close to her boss. Lauren and Louis were surprised too.. And they all thought Dean and Bryana were going to be in a serious relationship.
