Chapter 89

The bodyguard sighed with relief when he saw Ashley outside near the vehicle while laughing her heart out.  Her face was brimming with happiness.  'Thank you, Lord, and nothing happened to Ma'am Ashley, or else I cannot face Sir Tanaga.'

When the bodyguard passed the security guard, he stopped first and looked at him fiercely while not talking.  He only pointed his finger at the security guard's face, who was confused about what he had done wrong?

Ashley saw 'Tiny,' the bodyguard coming to her direction.  She quickly bid her goodbye to her family and promised to call frequently if and when time permits.  If she could help it, she would call every minute of the day, that's how much she misses them.

"Alright, Mom, Dad, brothers!  I promise I'll call whenever possible, so do not worry about me.  You can also call me anytime...Anyway, it's free! Bye! Tsup, tsup!"

After Ashley was done talking to her family, she turned around and put on a smile as she approached the security guard and Tiny, her bodyguard.  Tiny was standing not far away, giving her privacy while guarding and waiting for her to finish.

"Tiny!  I'm so' sorry! Hahaha! My family from the Philippines just missed me." She said with a smile while entering the open door.

"Ma'am Ashley, if you had changed your mind and wanted to go around the mall…?" He did not get to finish what he was saying because his phone started to ring.  "Excuse me!" He told Ashley as he moved away to put a distance between them.

When Tiny saw who was calling, his brow raised, and he became serious before answering the call.

"Yes, Madam Hanada? What can I do for you?" Tiny answered professionally and respectful.

Grandmother Hanada didn't bear around the bushes and began her inquisition. "Are you with Ashley?  Where are you now?  Why didn't you bring her back here at the mansion?

"Madam Hanada, to answer your questions...we are at the condominium.  Sir ordered me to bring Ma'am Ashley here. I'm afraid If I brought her there, I would get in trouble with the boss.  Do you need anything?" The bodyguard nervously asked.

He knew that Tanaga's grandmother is a grumpy old lady.  Given a choice, he doesn't want to face her at all.  He tried to stay as far away from that mean old lady.

"What kind of question is that?  Will I call if I don't need anything?  Make sure that Ashley will not get lonely.  Bring her to wherever she wants to go. Do you understand?" Grandmother Hanada ordered Tiny.

He nearly answered back to Grandmother Hanada to tell her that if she only knew, he was asking Ashley the same thing since a while ago because... that was what Tanaga had ordered him to do.

"Yes, madam! I will make sure of that!" He ended up answering that way, so their conversation would be finished.  When he hung the telephone, he went back to where Ashley was, who looked like she was about to ask a question, so Tint went ahead and explained everything without missing a detail.

After retelling Ashley the whole conversation, Tiny felt much better and happily waited for instruction.

"Ah, is that so?" Ashley said, and she didn't ask further.  She thought it was Tanaga who called, and she was planning to ask if Tanaga is on his way. But when she heard that it was Grandmother Hanada who called, she decided not to let it all go...

Meanwhile, Tanaga was arguing with Ohani because she wanted to borrow Tanaga's condominium.  She's complaining that Tanaga's Entertainment Company didn't provide her a suitable dwelling for a start like her.

"Please Tanaga, and you know that I'm not used to staying in small places.  Also, there is no privacy. What if you want to spend the night…" Ohani said while clinging on to Tanaga.

On cue, Grandmother came back after talking with Ashle's bodyguard, Tiny.  When she heard what Ohani was saying and asking Tanaga, the contour of her face suddenly shifted, and she angrily retorted.

"Tanaga, my beloved grandson... If you ever do that, forget that I'm your grandmother.  Do you understand?!" She then turned her back on them and called her assistant as she went towards Tanaga's office.  Her assistant quickly came, "Madam? Did you call for me?"

"Get ready!  We need to go somewhere! We need to get out of here, or else I might kill someone, and I become a murderer. Grrr!" Grandmother made sure Ohani heard her loud and clear so that she will realize that she is not welcome!

However, Ohani is a good actress, a very sly person and has a very thick skin.  She started acting in front of Tanaga for him to feel pity for her. 

"Oh, Granny...Why are you so mean at me?  Huh, huh, huh,' Tanaga… will you let your grandma treat me like this?"

Grandma Hanada saw this and became angrier.  She was ready to choke Ohani, but her assistant stopped her on time.  "Let's get out of here then!"  She slammed the door on her way out. *Bang!*

Tanaga did not know what to do and just looked at Ohani and sighed.  "Ohani, come here and let us talk." He pulled Ohani to sit on the sofa since Ohani was clinging to him like a snake and not letting him go ever since they left the dock.

Once they were seated, Tanaga gently removed Ohani's hands as if he was being burned with acid.  He stood up and moved to the other sofa so that they could talk seriously.

Ohani frowned because Tanaga left her and sat on another sofa.  "Honey, I know I was wrong for what I did before. But didn't I tell you, my friends in showbiz just persuaded me?  "Because I wanted to be famous, so I chose to be with him.  But I don't love him.. You know that!"

She stood up and sat at Tanaga's leg.  She kissed him with all her might. Because Tanaga was caught off guard, he was not able to react and just let Ohani do what she was doing….

Tanaga did not stop her from kissing him. Therefore, Ohani became bolder and assumed that Tanaga still liked her, so she started working at arousing Tanaga...

"Sweetheart, you know that deep in your heart... You are the only one for me.  Right?"  Ohani whispered to Tanaga while kissing his ears.   "There's no one else for me but you... Your the only one that could make my heart beating fast."  She took Tanaga's hand put it right on top of her b.r.e.a.s.t so he could feel her heartbeat.

Tanaga was confused and did not know what to do.  Because of what Ohani was doing to him while whispering sweetly, things started to get hot….
