Narda is in awe when she saw the suv parked in front of the foundation when she arrived from home, she tried to knock the body of the car but the security detail knock her hand off
"Aray naman kuya, tinitignan ko lang naman kung matibay yung sasakyan" Narda said as she caressed her hand that was hit
"Sino ka ba? bawal mong hawakan ang sasakyan ni Atty. Vanguardia" the security said in firmness
"Okay, kay Regina naman pala, akala ko kay mayor" she said sarcastically
"Sige na, lumayo ka dito" he said trying to shoo Narda away
"Sunget" Narda whispered clearly annoyed and pouting
----
Regina is having a fit since Narda hasn't come up to her office yet, she's been busy with a lot of paperworks and she asked Ali to do something for her at the city for some stuff she needs. She looks at her watch and realize that it has already been 2 pm and Narda's shadow is not seen since early in the morning. She opened her phone that is silent since she's reviewing her case when she saw that there is no message from her favorite person
"What the heck is happening? Where is Narda?"
She called the girl and by the fifth ring she hears a panting EMT
"Love!"
"Narda! Where are you, why are you out of breath?"
"Sorry Regina, nagka emergency kasi, pero papunta nako sayo ngayon, kanina kasi hinarangan ako ng security mo, medyo nagkasagutan lang kami kasi dala dala ko yung pagkain natin kanina, kaya lang natapon dahil sa pagpupumilit kong pumasok sa office mo. Sakto naman nagkaroon ng emergency at tsaka dumaan muna ako ng fast food kasi wala tayong kakainin, sige na Love, medyo mabigat tong dala ko"
"My gosh, ok Love, you take care ok!?"
"Oo, Love"
They end their call and while Narda is explaining what happened to her, blood rushed in her head due to anger. How dare they put a hand on her Narda. She dialed Ali's number and waited for him to answer while her heels is relentlessly tapping on the tiled floor
"Regina"
"Ali, have you endorsed Narda to the head of security?"
"Naku!"
Regina heard the mistake, she knows Ali by the sound of his frustration that he forgot to tell about Narda
"Did you know that its 2pm and I haven't eaten yet since the security did not let Narda pass my office doors?"
"Sorry, Regina"
"Isn't it ironic that the person who insisted that I get a security detail is the one being held back by them?"
"Oo, Regina, pasensiya na, tatawagan ko na yung head ng security"
"No need Ali, I'll be the one to tell them right now"
Ali is cursing himself on the other end of the line, he's going to make apologies to the securities who's going to be scolded by Regina, how could he forget about this very important detail
----
Regina called every security detail into her office, as in everyone, all of them is standing in front of Regina's large office table, looking at them like a hawk. All of them are quiet when suddenly the office door opened and revealed Narda smiling and holding their lunch up
"Love! andito na lunch mo!" she said happily since there's no one who blocked her way towards Regina's office
There are three security details who looked surprised, Regina noticed, Narda too looked surprised when she saw them. It made her face fall, she slumped her shoulders forward and started to move back outside
"Hep, hep, hep, Love... where do you think you're going?"
Narda sighed heavily
"Eh, andito pala mga security mo, kanina pa nila ako pinapaalis eh, akala ko nga naisahan ko na sila kasi wala sila sa hallway" she said pouting
Regina sighed and shook her head in amazement at her girlfriends' reaction
"Well, since we are all here" Regina stood up and pulled Narda beside her and then address her head of security
"Mr. Johnson, I'm introducing to all of you my girlfriend, Ms. Narda Custodio, please exclude her from your security checks, even though I'm your main client, I want to extend your protection to her when we are together, is that understood?"
"Yes Ms. Vanguardia" everyone replied
"You are all dismissed" she said as they return to their positions while the other three security men went towards Narda
"Maam pasensiya na po sa nangyari kanina"
"Okay lang mga sir, alam ko namang ginagawa niyo lang ang trabaho niyo"
The three bowed and left, Narda and Regina are now alone in the office
"Love, sorry at hindi nasabi sa head about you, you must have had a hard time getting to me"
"Hehe, medyo lang, pero yaan mo na yun, at least alam kong protektado ka, hindi na ako mag aalala, lalo na pag hindi kita kasama"
"Sabi ko nga kay Ali, kung sino pa ang nag suggest na magka security ako yun pa yung hindi pinapalapit sa akin" she smiled widely
"Ok na yun, eto nga pala kumain ka na at alam kong kanina ka pa gutom"
Regina sat at their usual position in her couch and started eating with Narda, all smiles and heart eyes with each other.
