"You ready?" She nods as she looks at her mom, "can I take a seat with my mom?" I nodded, "sure," I opened a passenger door, and I'll be her driver today, "good afternoon, Mrs. Gabriela. Where are we going?" She laughs.
"Mall," I nodded, "Let's go, love bird! I'm starving!" We laughed, and I help her to get in, I closed the door, and I saw that car again, gladly it's not my main house. I get into the car, "what's wrong?" I shook my head.
"Nothing," I sighed, "did you remembered the car that was following us?" Rose nods, "does the car following us again?" I nodded. So, if it's not Sam who was following us, then who? The options were three. The first option is Jane, the second is Eva, and the third is a guy who delivered a package last month. I already ask Hanks, but he still can't track the car down.
"I was curious with you, young lady." I'm listening, "did you have an enemy?" She hums, "she has a lot of enemies, including his ex, friends, investors, haters." I nodded because I agree with Rose. "But most of them want her to be their spouse or relatives," I heard Mrs. Mary hums.
"So, you have a lot of crazy fans?" I nodded, "it's because I keep secrets about my personal life," I took a glance at Rose. 'And about that incident, mom. She told the world that she loves me. And her friend, Jane. She is obsessed with her. I don't know what she will get from taking other people's happiness?" She always thought about herself.
"So, you not afraid with the next threat?" I shook my head, "I'm willing to die for protecting both of you, ma'am." She hums. "So we got protection everywhere?" I nodded. "I already called Hanks to protect both of you at the mall," she looks at me. "What do you mean by both of us?" I sighed.
"It's wrong a mother asking a time for quality time with my daughter!? If you do not want that, it's fine! I can search for another daughter," I'm smiling. "Your mom told me that she misses you. So I let both of you spending time together," Rose hums. "Are you okay with that?" I nodded. "I'm fine, but here take one of my black cards, and you know my PIN was." She picked my wallet, "are you sure?" I'm smiling.
"We can search it another time. If you want, we can search catering or building reservations?" I give her my chopstick's ring. "It's my ring size. I want it simple and silver." She smiles, "I know," I parked my car in the lobby, and I saw Hanks.
"Picked us 2 hours later, okay?" I nodded, "yes, ma'am!" Rose looks at me, "thank you, Lobak." I'm smiling, "I want to show you that I love you, and it's not lust." She kissed my cheek, "thanks hubby," I touch my cheek and smile. Hubby, huh? "You want me to buy something?" I shook my head.
"I shouldn't ruin the surprised, right?" She laughs and nods. "See you later," I nodded as she closed the door. I'm smiling, "okay, I should go somewhere," I saw that car who was following us, following me. So, I'm your target, huh? You picked the wrong damn car, fool!
I call my another bodyguard, and I took a deep breath, "I want you to meet me at my warehouse! It's important!" I hung up the call, and I drive my car to the warehouse.

It's easy to catch a rookie stalker. One stopped the car, approach him, smashing through the window, and bring him here. I can't beat him because Rose will leave me if I'm using unnecessary strength, but if they attacked me first. It's legal for me. So, I will choose another tactic, I blindfolded him and let him scared. "His name is Ken, and this is his phone," I picked the phone.
"He the one who stalks you at the supermarket, and It's from your ex, Jane" I looked at Reg, "great, thanks." That's why even Hanks can't find this man. The car was a rental car. "Wait here," I walked approach him as I'm wearing my gloves.
"'So this is our stalker?" He looks scared. "My wife doesn't know about this, Ken. You want to choose an easy way, or I beat you to death, and it's your choice." He was peeing on his pants.
"I-I followed orders from Eva!" I'm smiling, "sh-she sents me, I-I'm her friend," huh, never heard about your name, "so, Eva or Jane?" I want to kill him, "J-Jane," I looked at Reggie, "He's right?" Gladly Reggie was a hacker. "He was telling the truth," I sighed.
"How much she paid you?" I rub his cheek, "I will not hurt you because my wife and I have an agreement," and my left arm is injured. He tries to calm, "m-my family in danger," she threatening your family. "So, can you..." I heard his phone ringing. I answer the call. "Jane, what's up?" I press the loudspeaker button, "L-Lobak? H-how you get this number?" I sighed. "You know who I am, right?" I heard Jane growled.
"I'm not accepting that you and Rose engaged! It should be me, not her!" I sighed, "Listen to me carefully," I took a glance at Reggie. "If you hurt someone else, Jane. I will haunt you, and you will never saw me again. I love Rose, Jane. You not there when I need someone, so, please. Let me live in peace." She growls, "I never forgive you!" She hung up the phone.
"You got her location?" Reggie shook his head. I took a deep breath, "bring him to the police, tell them what happened, and you can tell my wife the report," I walked to my car as I took off these gloves. I want to spend a Sunday with her, but he interrupts my date because his family is in danger? It's a lie. I don't hear any yelling in the background. I hope he understands what he's faced after this.

I took a deep breath, and I saw Rose and her mom bring a lot of paper bags, "Let me take this," I grabbed their shopping bag, and she kissed my cheek. "Are you okay?" I nodded. "I'm not beating him. He was targetting me, not you," she hugs me tight. "Okay, how's your shopping?" I saw Hanks bring a lot more of their shopping bags.
Glad we live in 2021 but, what if you lived in the '80s or '70s as a rich person? You should bring 3-4 maids to accompany them. I open the trunk, and I put their belongings in the car trunk "you need help, Hanks?" I grabbed their shopping bags, and I wanted to cry.
My money, but if they are happy, I will do it! "Here's the receipt," I picked the receipt, and I dropped my jaws. "I'm not dreaming, right?" Hanks shook his head. Okay, work harder! "So, they wanted to eat at Excelso," I nodded. I'm a membership of Excelso, the most loyal member. I've bought their stocks.
I closed the trunk, and I sighed. "Okay, meet me at my office when we were home." I walked to the driver's seat and get into my car, "so, how's your shopping today?" Rose kissed my cheek and hug my left arm, "you not mad?" I shook my head, "no, that means. I should work harder and spending more time with my family?" She smiles.
She hugs my left arm tight, "I miss you," I'm smiling, "I miss you too," I heard Mrs. Mary clearing her throat. "I should focus on track, okay?" She's giggling.

I heard Rose's footsteps walk to my office as I put my scrapbook on my desk, "Hey, I wanted to give you this," she put a present, and I looked at her, "please, open it," I unwrap the gift. "You know, I was thinking to bought the same bracelet as me, but I remembered you hate the same model and colors," I opened the box.
"So I gave you this bracelet," I picked the anchor Bracelet with my name in it, "I told them to put your name on it," I'm wearing the bracelet, and I hugged her. "don't lose it and don't break it!" I nodded. "I will take care of this bracelet." I hold her hand.
"Hey, you keep your promise, and I'm sorry I spend your money too much," I shook my head, "no, you don't," she looks at me, "we can find another money, but it's hard to find a real happiness," she hugs me, "it's time to change your bandage," I nodded.
