Christy’s POV
Evans imdiately took action and the sound of bone breaking and the muffled groans of the Bodyguard filled the air.
"Kendrick, let explain" Celeste said as she quickly walked towards him arrogantly.
"And you are?" He asked her coldly.
She imdiately stopped in her tracks, her arrogant expression imdiately vanished.
"I am Celeste, Raina’s best friend" she said with a smile while staring at him with so much infatuation.
"Miss Martinez?" He asked with a raised brow and she nodded happily.
"It’s been three years since we last t, so it is understandable that you couldn’t recognize at first," she said with a shy expression.
I couldn’t believe she was the sa person that was threatening to tear apart a few minutes ago.
She seems like a totally different person in front of Kendrick.
"Let’s go," Kendrick said to , completely ignoring her.
"Are you going back to the capital? I am also going, so can I co with you?" She asked quickly when she saw us getting into the car.
"No, I don’t like strangers in my space" he said coldly before slamming the door shut.
On hearing his reply, her expression imdiately turned sour and she looked at with hatred but I just got into the car with a smile.
I sat in the back seat with him while Evans drove. I could feel her eyes on and I didn’t even bother to look in her direction.
She can go kiss a transforr for all I care, I thought and smiled.
"You look good" Kendrick suddenly said while staring at his phone.
I stared at him in surprise and smiled again.
"Thanks" I said as I have gotten used to his habit of not saying much.
"We are going directly to the airport, sothing urgent ca up in the capital" he inford without bothering to look at .
I didn’t have anything keeping here in the first place, so I didn’t have any objections.
"You don’t want to?" His voice pulled out of my thoughts and I turned to see him staring at .
"It’s fine, I was just lost in thought" I replied quickly and we fell into another awkward silence.
Before I knew it, we were in a plane going to the capital.I looked out the window and whispered a good bye to my past.
I felt soone’s gaze on but I didn’t bother checking, as I already knew who was staring at .
Kendrick has this weird habit of staring at , at first I was uncomfortable but now I have gotten used to it.
"Co here" he said with an emotionless tone.
I turned around to see him focused on , his eyes were roaming over my body and I imdiately felt hot.
"Co here" he repeated again and I slowly walked to him.
I slowly sat down on the seat opposite him and stared back at him without any fear.
He suddenly touched my face with his fingers, then he slowly moved it down to my collar bone.
"When we get to the capital, we will have to live and act like a real couple. That includes getting intimate in front of others, sleeping in the sa room and attending events together" he paused to observe my expression.
"But in private, there won’t be anything between us, no emotional attachnt and no gas, it is purely a transaction and you will get paid at the end" he concluded with a serious expression.
"I understand and won’t cross the line" I said before moving his fingers away from .
He seed to have forgotten that he was touching and cleared his throat awkwardly.
The rest of the trip was relatively quiet and when we finally arrived, we were surrounded by reporters at the exit.
"Stay back" Evans barked angrily at the clamoring reporters.
But they seed to not hear him as they kept pushing and shoving their mics in Kendrick’s face.
He was extrely quiet and just stared expressionlessly at them.
"Please stand back" he finally spoke up and the reporters imdiately quieted down but they kept pushing their mic forward.
I just realized that Kendrick might be more influential and wealthy than I had earlier thought.
"Mr Black, you have been gone for three years. Where have you been?
"There was a rumor circulating before you left, did you go into hiding because it was true?
"Is it true that you don’t like won but n?
The reporters just kept throwing questions at him while he just stood and stared emotionlessly at them.
I was tired from the flight and the voices of the reporters were starting to give a headache, so I decided to help out.
I moved forward and wrapped my arms around Kendrick’s waist, his body imdiately tensed up but he quickly relaxed.
"As you all can see, my girlfriend is tired and needs to rest," he said to the reporters who had different expressions on their faces.
From how so reacted, I figured that they might have been paid by soone to make Kendrick trend for all the wrong reasons.
"How are we sure she isn’t just soone you randomly picked up to combat the rumors?" A female reporter asked with a smile.
I took a deep breath and grabbed Kendrick’s collar before slowly kissing him.
I don’t know what ca over and wanted to pull away after I ca back to my senses but he held my head and deepened the kiss, sucking out all my breath.
By the ti he finally let go, my lips were already swollen and I was out of breath.
"Any other question?" He asked the reporters but they just stared at us like they had seen sothing extraordinary.
"Let’s go" he said to and Evans imdiately cleared a path for us to easily walk through.
I didn’t want to face him after what just happened, so I walked behind him.
"The new driver just called, he said he is outside" Evans inford him and led us to the direction of the car.
On getting to the car, the driver door opened and a man dressed in blue drivers uniform stepped out.
Mark?
I stared at him in shock, as he greeted Kendrick with a bow and swiftly opened the back door for him to get in.
I couldn’t believe that the job which he bragged about was to work as a driver and unfortunately for him, his new Boss turned out to be Kendrick.
"What are you doing here?!" Mark asked angrily when he finally noticed .
"Are you following around?"
I just stared at him as he blasted with several questions, without waiting for to say anything.
I ignored him and cat walked to get into the car but he blocked when I wanted to open it.
"This isn’t the place for soone like you, so leave before you are thrown out" he warned angrily but I just ignored him and got into the back seat.
He stared at in shock as I got into the backseat.
