Under His Protection

Laura and Michael reluctantly tore their gaze from each other to Japhet, with a forced smile “No problem japhet, thanks for coming” she was aware of Michael stern gaze at japhet.

Japhet smiled widen ” Michael I hope you protect my Laura and keep her safe from danger….. Michael’s shoulder became stiffed as his jaw harden when he heard japhet called her ” My Laura” japhet continued ” …. His Excellency Jadua had entrusted her under your protection so you must keep her safe” his word was more of a command than pleading.

“Son of a fucked bitch! Your Laura indeed” Michael sneered and rolled his eyes, if only japhet would repeat that statement again, if only.

Japhetnoticed Laura was ready to leave the studio ” so babe! are we still going to the dinner tonight? He smiled as his arm curled round her shoulder.

Michael threw him a dirty look as his eyes followed japhet movement, he hoped Laura would not agree to go out with him, how will this one protect her?

Laura shifted gently in bid for him to remove his arm “uhm….

“I don’t think miss Laura would like to go” Michael cut in immediately.

How he wanted to hit japhet so bad! Michael was is in dire need to ruin japhet perfect dentition so he would see how he would laughed and flirt with different women.

Japhet softly laughed at Michael’s eagerness to speak for Laura ” Well Laura is not a kid and doesn’t in anyway need your permission to go out, actually we have already discussed that before you came and…

” Japhet….” Laura cut him off ” yeah I know we discussed about it, but I don’t think I can make it anymore…. you see I have a lot of things to do and also prepare for my runway in two weeks time” at the corner of her eyes she could see Michael triumphant smirk.

Japhet handsome countenance became sour ” but you promised Laura, I had already made reservations for us”

“Oh japhet!’ Laura exhaled heavily.

They had agreed to have dinner tonight before Michael came in and now it seems Michael did not like the idea, Laura thought it could be his instinct as a guard. But who cares? he cannot just come out of nowhere to ruin her plan, it is her life not his……… Not that he hadn’t gone out on dates with other women.

It would not be a bad idea giving japhet a chance since he has been giving her hint of his feelings but on a second thought japhet is a bit too mature for her, he should have been married but japhet had pleasure in chasing after women to settling down. No doubt japhet is handsome but not as handsome as the devil standing opposite them with his hands crossed watching them.

“Okay japhet, I will have dinner with you” she smiled at him adorably.

Michael’s eyes widen with shock, ” what’s wrong with this young woman for godsake?!”

“Has she forgotten that her life is in danger? and going out to have dinner with a man is not ideal at all? His hard gaze lingered on Laura who did not spare him a glance atall.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Really?” Japhet beamed with happiness did a playful childish turn.

Laura laughed at his antics.

“Alright Laura, I will come pick you up babe’

She nodded.

” I need to go now, see you later” he leaned in slowly and kissed her cheek while with the corner of his eyes he watched Michael starring at them.

“Let me see you off” Laura held his arm as she walked him to the door.

Michael exhaled heavily as he watched them walk to the door, he could not believe Laura agreed to go on a dinner date with this man.

How can he protect her with his manly power without calling the cops?

Ever since he sets his eyes on japhet he had gotten a prickly bad vibe about him, this fellow is someone he must look at for, Laura should not been seen going out with a man he did not know.

Anger coarsed his vein seeing them talk and laugh outside her apartment as japhet held her hands, Michael turned back, pinched the bridge of his nose trying to keep his anger in check.

The sound of Laura heels floated the silent room as she walked towards him bringing him out of his thoughts, “why did you agree to go out with him laura? ” You need to be careful I know you have not forgotten that you need to watch out for who is stalking you and that your friends is not an exception”

Laura glared at him as she giggled the studio keys she held, “it is not too late to go back to France Michael, I don’t need your protection thing” she turned walking towards the inner door making sure it was closed.

Michael pinched the bridge of his nose, her action and words is really getting on his nerve, “Laura I have a bad vibe about that guy, nobody is your friend Miss”

“You’re making no sense Michael, and I don’t see anything wrong with going out with my friend for a harmless dinner, and I don’t want to hear you insinuating that japhet might be the stalker…” her gaze harden giving him a warning look.

“…. This man you are talking about is the only guy that has ever been close and dear to me in this industry, you should stop thinking negative things about him. I have told you countless times that I don’t want a bodyguard and Wether you like it or not I’m going to dinner with him and you certainly cannot do anything about him”.

She picked her bag, with few clothes she had been working on before he interrupted her work.

Michael walked closer to her with a devilishly smik on his face ” well sweetheart, tell your date to make reservations for three”
