Chapter 43 - Worse Friend (1/2)

”Where are you heading to, Miss?”

Lena snapped out of her daydreaming. ”Ah… I am actually going to visit a friend. Here's the address.”

Lena handed her phone to Kye who put the address into the GPS navigation. The ride was quite long. Lena had never visit Gary before.

After a while, they were on the outskirts of town. When they finally arrived in front of Gary's apartment complex, the bodyguards were extra cautious. They were in a not so safe area.

To Lena though.. This was just a normal part of town. Lena got out of the car. There were a few people gathering around them. It is not every day that you see a rich people car and a pretty around here.

”Noah. Stay in the car, just in case.” Lena spoke and then entered the small apartment building with Kye. Kye was a big and tall man. His height was almost to the ceiling.

Lena stopped in front of apartment room #18. 'This is it. Gary's place.'

Lena knocked on the door a few times. There was no answer. She knew that Gary was home… this man never leaves his house.

She knocked again, this time a bit harder. ”Gary? It's Lena.”

This time she can hear some scuffing and noises. But after a while, the door was still not opened. Lena got impatient.

She pounded the door with both her hands, ignoring her manners and the noises she was causing for the neighbors.

”You open the door right now or I will have my bodyguard knock this open. I won't pay for the damages!”

As expected, the sound of locks clinking was heard and the door finally opened. Gary stood still, staring at a flawless Lena and a big macho bodyguard, and then back at the beautiful Lena.

”Are you sick?” Lena could see that Gary was still in his sleeping clothes, his hair was very messy, and his nose was red.

”Just a little bit.” He sniffed.

Lena quickly touched his forehead in which he flinched a bit. He quickly blushed but he was already so red that it was unnoticeable.

”Just a little bit? You are so hot. Have you taken some medicine.”

”It'll pass.”

Lena sighed. ”Kye, go buy some medicine.”

”Miss, I can send Noah instead. I must stay with you at all times.”

”It's fine. Noah can sit out and see the door just fine from here. Gary is a friend and he's sick, it's not like he can tackle me down.”

Kye was reluctant to go but he did in the end. He glanced inside Gary's place first to make sure it was safe before leaving.

Lena entered Gary's apartment and was amazed. His apartment was very clean compared to his messy behavior.

”Where is your kitchen?”

”Why?”
