#Book 2 Chapter 11
I watched Lem coast his boat near the sand while five of Keian’s men made their way towards him.
“What are you doing here? This is private property.” Said the man whom I talked to earlier to Lem.
Lemuel scratched his nape.
“Ah, your madame asked me to go here.” The men furrowed their eyebrows and they turned in my direction.
I’m currently sitting on the terrace of the house. I smiled at them and walked closer to clarify.
” Uhmmm”
” Maîtresse, Maître strictly ordered us not to let you leave this place.”
“Please, sir, I just badly needed to go to town.” Then I thought what to reason out next…
“I’m craving food that can only be bought in town… Are you going to let me and Keian’s child starve in hunger?” Lem winced and shook his head.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
“We can buy it for you, just state it to us and we’ll go get it for you?” I pouted.
Not good Nass.
“Being alone is making me and the baby stressed. Please, sir, you can come with us to accompany me, it’s okay.” The five men glanced at each other with my suggestion.
Ha!
You’re definitely incredible, Nass!
” Sure, maîtresse.” I smiled and went back to the house to get my bag.
I haven’t eaten breakfast yet, maybe I could just eat in town. My clothes are doing great so I didn’t bother changing them anymore.
I wore just a jacket and along with my things, I went out of the house and went to Lem’s boat.
He assisted me to ride on the boat along with three men in black who decided to join us.
Two men were left here on the island. But I’m pretty sure Keian has a lot more men around this island.
“Is everyone good?” I nodded at Lem so he started pushing the boat away from the shore.
—
I sighed repeatedly while walking across the seaside.
I look like some president’s daughter with three men in a suit following behind me, add up the fact that Lem is here.
Lem and I were talking while strolling but everyone whom we passed by can’t help but turn to us every time they see us.
“Hello,” I curiously smiled at two girls wearing bikinis who walked over to us. They’re probably around the ages of 18-21.
I caught Lem staring at the two ladies. This made me shake my head.
The two ladies are absolutely dashing and gorgeous.
“Hi!” I greeted back.
One of them brought out their phone.
“Can we have a picture with you? We feel like you’re someone famous, you also have bodyguards.” I raised my eyebrows at them but maintained the smile.
“Your companion, not to mention, is handsome too.” They looked at Lem who scratched his nape in shame and also cast a smile at the two girls.
I pouted.
“It’s definitely okay if you don’t want to.” The other said.
“Oh no, it’s alright.” I beamed at them.
“Really? Sure, thanks.” They both said and so the other girl raised her phone for us to take a selfie.
After taking… a lot of pictures, the two ladies squealed and even jumped in joy at the photos taken on their phone.
” Thank you again!” I nodded and smiled at the two.
” Welcome,” they waved their farewells and were looking at their cellphones while walking away.
I pouted and lowered my head as they were out of sight.
Lem laughed so I shot him a glare.
I was about to say something but I felt my stomach grumble.
I pouted while the guy beside me just continued laughing at my mishap.
“Come on. I know a great place to eat. Just to remove that pout off your face hahaha.” I rolled my eyes at him.
“Where is it? Could we hurry up, I’m so hungry.” I said, a bit irritated at the situation.
He smiled and grabbed my wrist to pull me alongside.
He brought us to a large hut that seems to be a restaurant. There are quite a lot of people dining here.
A waiter greeted our companion, along with a few residents and tourists.
Looks like he’s very well-known here.
“The food here is great but I never get to visit here a lot, the food is a little expensive.” We sat at a table in the very corner.
We looked around the people eating and back to the waiters and waitresses.
I sighed and sat on one of the seats.
“Oh well, at least you could eat now.” Lem smiled at me.
My grumbling stomach got worse because of the surrounding’s smell.
The food here all looks so good!
Finally, a waitress came to us and gave us the menu.
Keian’s men were just standing around us.
“What about you guys? What do you like?” I asked the three men who maintained a poker face. They looked at me at the same time and shook their heads.
” Non merci, maîtresse. Ne t’inquiète pas pour nous (No thanks, mistress. Don’t worry about us.)” I raised an eyebrow at one of the men who spoke. I never knew we have a French man on board. Now that I noticed him, I realized he doesn’t look like a Pilipino.
Lem and the two guards glanced at each other.
“Oh, maîtresse, we apologize. He’s just new here in the Philippines. He’s one of Maître Andre’s men from France who became one of Maître Andrew’s men now.” One of the men explained.
I studied the man who was once Tito Andre’s guard.
” Maître André m’a demandé de garder un œil sur votre mari, maîtresse (I was asked by master Andre to keep an eye on your husband, mistress)” I blushed at the part where her called Keian my husband.
” Uhmmm. Can you speak English? I think our maîtresse can’t understand” Said another man. I smiled at him who just spoke and shook my head.
” It’s okay, I can speak and understand French” I turned my head back to…
” Comment tu t’appelles?(What’s your name?)”
” Dominique, maîtresse” I smiled at him.
” Tu devrais manger avec nous, Dominique et merci de garder un œil sur Keian(You should eat with us, Dominique and thank you for keeping an eye on Keian). You guys too, you should order your food along with us. That’s an order” the three hesitantly looked at each other till they finally decided to sit down with Lem and me.
I smiled satisfactorily.
After saying their orders and mine, we waited for a little while till our food finally arrived.
While waiting for my companions to finish their food, my eyes roamed around the place.
It’s so beautiful here… I still can’t believe I got to travel here in Palawan with Keian. Which, I still don’t know where he is right now.
While thinking about that mafia boss, my eyes suddenly caught his figure not that far from this restaurant.
I’m not sure if that’s really him so my eyes skipped him but I quickly looked back just to confirm if that’s really him that I’m seeing.
My eyes widened.
It’s Keian! I did saw Keian!
Who’s also in a restaurant, along with a beautiful maiden who seemed to be of a different nationality, too.
My eyebrows immediately met.
I looked back at the men to see if they saw my reaction but they are still busy with their meals, that’s good.
I returned my eyes back to Keian. He’s happily conversing with that girl.
His eyes were shimmering. Not the typical cold expression he always shows to everybody.
This made me even more curious.
He seems…
My mouth gaped open when Keian held the girl’s hand and rubbed it as if to comfort her with something.
Who is that girl? Is she a friend of Keian’s? Aren’t friends supposed to do something friendly???
“Nass?” I turned to Lem who gave me a confused look. The three men also looked up to check on me.
“Is there a problem?” I smiled and shook my head at Lem.
“What? Oh, it’s nothing. Go on and finish your meals, don’t mind me.” He raised his eyebrow at me to indicate that he doesn’t believe me.
