Mr Bodyguard, Protect Your Heart!-Chapter 186: WHAT SHE WAS RUNNING FROM

A few hours later.

Gavi bade his goodbye joyfully to his mom and Dante, before walking inside the school gate.

The two adults in the car looked at their son lovingly as he disappeared from their sight slowly. And before they could do anything else after that, both of their phone buzzed simultaneously.

They took out their phones, to check on the messages.

Lisa had messaged Dove for the thousandth time, so that she doesn’t forget about their dinner together today. And she sent the address, where they will be meeting in the evening.

While, Dante recieved an important message from Calix about work.

Both of them replied to their respective messages. Then Dante asked if they should go, and Dove gave a small nod in affirmation.

The next couple hours, none of them.ralled much. It was mostly like the day before, where no one could tell if anything was wrong, but the atmosphere between them was definitely tense, and they both knew it but did not know what to say or do.

Well, after a while, it was no longer remembered, as both of got engrossed in their respective works. Dante too got busy with his laptop.

While, they were working, Dove raised her head and glanced at Dante to find him engrossed in his work, his eyebrows furrowing together, as he stared intently on the computer screen, before his finger went typing about on the keyboard.

’He sure is a very busy man.’ Dove thought to her self, as her lips pressed into a straight line. ’So why does he need to stay around us being a bodyguard? He really has a international company to run. Grandpa is not so stubborn to not understand it if he explains it to him.’

Dante on feeling a gaze on him, raised his head to look up to see Dove already looking at him. And that second, caused his heart to skip a beat, and then his heart beat started increasing slightly.

Meanwhile, Dove froze as she did not expect Dante to look up all of a sudden. She was obviously flustered, but did not want to show it on her face, though that was no very successful. Clearing her throat, she spoke, "I have a dinner plan with a friend today evening. Gavi will be accompanying too."

Dante blinked his eyes, as his phone pinged on his side. Then hearing Dove say, "I sent you the address. The dinner is by 7." He checked the address, as his brows went up slightly.

Dove looked up at his face, biting her inner lips, contemplating whether she should also tell him that he was also asked to join.

And just when she was fidgeting in her mind, she heard him say, "Sure. No problem at all."

Dove smiled a little, nodding her head. And just when she was about to concentrate back on working, when he all of a sudden asked, "Who is the friend with whom you would be sharing dinner?"

Dove raised her head, blinked her eyes, and was about to answer with Lisa’s name, but then she halted and then for some reason, she did not say. "It’s a friend, who is very close to me."

And then she lowered her head, continuing what she had been doing.

Dante stared at Dove’s figure, and her face looking down at the files before her. And his lips clearly upside down.

He did not like that. Though, he almost knew everyone who had been around Dove, and was considered her friend. And that also meant that, he knew there was no one he was to feel insecure about. But still, the ’what ifs’ irritated him.

"But I still have to know." Dante demanded. Dove pursed her lips, before she sighed and answered, "I have a lunch with Lisa. She is one of my closest friends." Dove said meeting his gaze.

The intense aura that was enveloping him instantly vanished, as he blinked his eyes. "Oh." He replied. Of course, he knew who Lisa was. How would he not know. And it was not for the fact that, that woman was a known personality in the entertainment industry. But because, she would hover around his woman all the time whenever she was there.

And the worst part was, the affection and dedication she showed Dove was so much, Dante started doubting if that woman had impure intentions towards his Dove!!

Thankfully, after much thought and keeping an eye on them, Dante could calm down some what. Though, he still had some lingering doubts in his heart, but what put his heart in ease was that, at least his Dove didn’t sway that way.

"Sure." Dante said. Dove nodded her head, and then she continued with her work.

Dante stared at Dove, and he could not help but feel a very unsettling ache in his heart. He could already feel something very wrong with Dove about their relationship. And with every second it was getting even more worse. And it all started yesterday!

Dante now made up his mind, that he needed to talk to her straight about it.

And just when he was about to say something, Grace entered the office wanting to discuss about some work related matters.

After that, it was as if something or the other continuosly was placed back to back, giving Dante no opportunity to have a talk. There were meetings continuously lined up one after another.

After finishing two consecutive meetings, Dove heard Dante reminding her, that it was time for lunch. Dove looked at the time and saw that it was indeed late. She nodded her head in realisation, before asking if he had already eaten.

Dante causally shrugged, before saying, "No. I was waiting for you. You had not eaten. How could I ?"

Dove froze on her track, her eyes subtly widening, as she turned to look at Dante in disbelief.

Those words... They felt really absurd but at the same time, warm and comforting!

This... This was the exact same feeling that Dante infused in her, that Dove was scared of. What she was trying to run from.
