It's been two days since Key stayed with Ervan in his villa.
Originally, Key's intention was to say goodbye to Ervan today, because she wanted to return to Oxford. After all, a few days away from Oxford was enough for her to relax herself after the incident that happened between her and her lover-her current ex-boyfriend.
It was just that since Ervan had not returned from the grocery store, Key remained faithfully at Ervan's villa.
"Mmm, why is uncle taking so long," Key whispered with mixed feelings as she stomped her feet.
Key was tired of waiting for Ervan, who was not sure what time he would return to his villa.
''Ish, I should have just asked for uncle's number so I could call him,' Key grumbled while pouting her lips, which looked adorable without her realising it.
Just as Key was about to sit back down on Ervan's large sofa, the doorbell of Ervan's villa rang several times.
"Uncle!!!" Key squealed excitedly.
Key ran a little towards the door of the villa, until finally she stopped her steps because she felt something strange to her.
'Why did you ring the bell? Can't you open the door yourself? Then who is visiting? Do you have guests?'
That's what suddenly occurred to Key's intelligent brain.
Her goosebumps suddenly stood up.
'Uncle... where are you? Uncle didn't leave me, did he?' Key's mind started to panic a little.
With some hesitation, Key opened the door of the villa.
Two young men in black suits with well-built bodies were seen in front of Key.
'Who... - who are you? Uncle's not around, if you want to come over next time when uncle's around,' Key squeaked nervously.
Instantly the two young men's faces that had originally appeared with cold expressions, now softened, and a slight smile could be seen on both of their faces.
"We were assigned by Mr Galen to look after you, miss," the two young men said almost in unison, as if what they said had been rehearsed.
"Mr Galen? Do you mean Uncle?" asked Elle hesitantly.
The young man in front of Elle smiled, and answered briefly by saying 'Yes' to Key.
"Then where is uncle? I want to go back to Oxford," said Key.
"I'm sorry miss, for the time being, Mr Galen has told us not to allow you to return to Oxford and regarding Mr Galen's whereabouts we cannot tell you miss. Mr Galen will contact you himself later."
Key furrowed her brows.
"He knows my number?" asked Key confused.
One of the young men gave Key a goodie bag that he had been holding.
"Mr Galen said to give this to you, Miss."
Key looked dumbfounded, she really didn't understand why Ervan was treating her like that, as if she was being closely guarded by him.
'Exactly who wants to target me?' Key monologued in her mind while taking the goodie bag that the young man gave her.
Not long after, the mobile phone in the box inside the goodie bag rang.
Suddenly Key immediately brought the goodie bag closer to his ear.
"Is this the mobile phone that rang?" Key said innocently.
After confirming that it was indeed the mobile phone in the goodie bag that rang, Key immediately picked up the mobile phone, and picked up the phone.
"Hello."
"Hello Key, have you met your new bodyguard?"
"Bodyguard? Ah, already uncle."
Key looked at the two young men who were still standing in front of her.
"Alright from now on you will be taken care of by them, if there is anything you need just tell them, or you can contact me on this number."
"Hng, Oh yeah uncle...-"
Key seemed to pause her sentence for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
"Where are you? Why aren't you at the villa?"
"I have an urgent matter, maybe I'll come back tonight or tomorrow. Take good care of yourself, other than my two bodyguards you shouldn't trust anyone else."
Key's reflexes squeaked in surprise and spontaneously asked Ervan the reason directly, but Ervan was reluctant to tell Key and told Key to follow his words.
Key hesitantly ended up just buzzing softly like a child, while nodding her head playfully. But unfortunately it could only be seen by Key's two bodyguards instead of Ervan.
"Good, don't go anywhere first."
"Tsk, why is uncle so chatty now?" croaked Key complaining about Ervan directly.
Ervan who was on the other side of the phone seemed to be holding back his laughter at Key's complaint.
After the conversation, Ervan hung up the phone.
Now Key's eyes were busy looking up and down at the two young men who Ervan said were her new bodyguards.
"Mmm, uncle said you're my new bodyguards. What should I call you?" asked Key innocently looking at the two young men in turn.
"My name is Chan ma'am," said the young man with a half-Asian face who stood about 180 cm tall.
"My name is Ethan Miss," said the young man with blue eyes.
The two young men immediately introduced themselves.
"Alright Uncle Chan, and Uncle Ethan you better come inside, today I'm not allowed to go out with Uncle," Key said as she invited the two bodyguards.
Both of them nodded their heads in unison and of course, followed Key's footsteps that led them into the spacious villa that seemed uninhabited.
Key casually sat back down on the sofa she had previously sat on, while Chan, and Ethan remained standing near Key.
With a confused look Key stared at the two bodyguards.
'Why aren't Uncle Chan and Uncle Ethan sitting down?' asked Key in her mind, busy watching the two bodyguards.
"Ahem, Uncle Chan, Uncle Ethan please sit down. I feel bad seeing you standing, I'm younger than you," said Key as she looked at the two.
Chan and Ethan glanced at each other and ended up agreeing with Key.
"So, do any of you know who the person who's targeting me is?"
Silence...
No answer from either of them!
Like a stray bullet that was suddenly released from her gun which was now targeted at Chan and Ethan simultaneously from Key's unexpected question that had not previously mentioned it.
"Hey, did you guys not hear my question?" Key asked again when she got no answer.
"We're sorry, miss. We were forbidden by Mr Galen to tell you about this."
Key reflexively pursed her lips busy grumbling at Ervan's attitude that seemed to be playing a puzzle with her.
***
"You didn't try contacting her?"
The young man who was previously thrown by the question spontaneously stopped his footsteps.
"Who?" asked the young man casually looking at the girl who had been holding his hand.
The girl twisted her eyes lazily. She was too lazy to mention the name of the girl who could be called her best friend and rival.
"What do you think?"
A quiet chuckle escaped the man named Kenzo Albert Coen.
'I'm lazy, anyway it's time for me to enjoy my time with you, isn't it?' said Kenzo casually rubbing the cheek of the girl beside him.
Stella, the girl that Kenzo now seemed to be intimate with, who some time ago was still in a relationship with Key--Cailey.
'I'm sorry Key, it's not like it's my fault that your boyfriend is more interested in me.'
Both of them look very intimate walking into a hotel that is still in the Oxford area towards one of the restaurants there.
