I Love You, My Bodyguard
Chapter 11

Jasmine's remark instantly made Marshel put on a thin smile, how could Jasmine instantly realize that this time Marshel ordered something different when the two of them were eating a hotpot at Jasmine's favorite restaurant.

"Well, right now I just want to eat vegetables, young lady." Marshel nodded his head thinly. "I didn't expect at all that you would order three sets at once. Meat, chicken and vegetables." The man tried to melt the atmosphere, as well as maybe if lucky to make Jasmine smile at that time.

In keeping with what Marshel had expected at the time, a soft laugh came off Jasmine's tiny mouth, accompanying a slow blow on the man's shoulder. "You just exist, sometimes I want to eat as much as possible like there's no tomorrow, you know?"

"But your diet will fall apart, young lady?" Marshel felt a little confused, apparently he did not understand the concept of a day off that is usually applied in some types of diet. 

"If it's just one day, I think it's okay, Marshel."

"All right."

Their order came, where Jasmine just ate most of her order while occasionally chatting about some small things with her interlocutor. "Marshel, you know? I'm actually still wondering who's behind this scandal."

Marshel who was swallowing spicy sauce then wiped clean his mouth first. "Yes, actually I also feel a little curious, why can a scandal like this happen, especially right after you were chosen to be the main character of the woman instead of Raphael, your best friend." 

The man let out a long sigh, before he continued, "here to be honest I feel a little curious, is it true that Raphael is the main mastermind behind this scandal, he said, besides some other celebrities who don't like you either."

The words issued by Marshel instantly made Jasmine pause for a moment, as if she was thinking about some possibilities that existed over what Marshel had said. It is true, where the scandal actually happened to Jasmine coincided after the announcement in which Jasmine was set as the female lead in a colossal film, defeating her best friend Raphael and several other artists. 

In addition, actually when Jasmine was present to celebrate Melody's birthday, Raphael who usually went with the woman who had a caucasian face this time seemed reluctant to go with Jasmine, instead, he was reluctant to go with her, Raphael instead went alone, and Jasmine did not even find him at the same table as Melody.

However, of course Jasmine refuses to believe where the possible mastermind of the scandal is Raphael, her best friend, because it was impossible for Raphael to stab him in the back in such a really painful way.

"Ha-ha-ha, there's no way, Marshel, there's no way Raphael would betray me like that, because we've been best friends ever since I started walking into this cruel world of entertainment with him!" reject Jasmine in a fairly firm tone, making Marshel raise both of her eyebrows as high as possible.

"But .. if that were true, why would Raphael betray me and stab me in the back like this?" jasmine asked in an increasingly shrill tone at the end, feeling completely unable to believe the possibility that it could be Raphael who actually betrayed and stabbed him from behind by becoming the main mastermind behind the scandal that is happening to Jasmine and Amon at that time.

Marshel could only shake his shoulder to answer that one question. "Well, if you ask me my personal opinion, maybe my answer is out of envy? Or maybe Raphael does not like and is reluctant to accept the fact that instead of her being elected, it is you who are chosen to be the main character of the woman."

Jasmine fell silent again, for some reason her previous appetite had exploded as if it had vanished and disappeared just like the earth swallowed it up, where Jasmine suddenly felt no longer lust to eat her favorite hotpot. "If it's envious, why doesn't he just say it directly? I'd like to step back and reject the offer if Raphael really wants the position as the female lead."

The man who had a tall and stocky body and brown hair and green eyes let out a long sigh, realizing that her words just now had ruined Jasmine's mood in the best and worst way ever. "Sorry, young lady, just forget what I said."

"No, it's okay, Marshel, I know you said something like that so I can think of some people who might be the cause of all this trouble." Jasmine placed her chopsticks on the table. "I don't have appetite anymore, you're the only one who's spent all this."

"Miss ... I'm really sorry." Marshel patted Jasmine's shoulder gently. "Let's eat the hotpot, the meat will cry if you don't eat."

Yes, remind Marshel that it is a bad idea to try to comfort Jasmine in such a way, as Jasmine instantly gives the bodyguard a strange look.

"You can say that?" Jasmine looked at Marshel, giving the man a strange look as well as disbelief. "I can't believe you're saying a sentence like this."

"Eh?" Marshel tilted her head slightly, feeling completely confused over Jasmine's remark a few seconds ago. What's so weird about Marshel's words? It felt normal, at least according to Marshel who was raised by his parents in such a way. "What is ... strange about what I said?"

Jasmine chuckled softly, feeling slightly comforted by the sentence that Marshel had spoken earlier. "There's nothing funny about what you said, it just sounds different when you say it, that's all, nothing more and nothing less" Jasmine said, taking back her chopsticks. "But it's okay, thank you, my appetite so increased again after hearing your words earlier." 

After continuing her sentence, without waiting for any time at all, Jasmine immediately bribed a large mixture of meat, chicken and vegetables that she got with just one pinch, put all the food in her mouth until Jasmine's cheeks expanded.

Leaving Marshel who was staring at the young miss with a look of disbelief that Jasmine was doing so.
