Chapter 1:

TIME: 6:00 AM

LOCATION: DARUMAYA, SECOND FLOOR

"Work! Work! Work!" I energetically yelled as I got up from my bed. I've been living at the second floor of Darumaya and the boss and his wife are really kind to me.

*phone rings*

"Yes?" I answered, "Now!? Alright!" I quickly changed my clothes and combed my long black hair and tied it up.

"You going already!?" Okami-san yelled as I sprinted through the hallway

"Sorry! I'm in a hurry okami-san, boss see you later!" then I went out. My heart began racing as the cold winter wind touched my cheek. This time I'll definitely protect the boss!

TIME: 6:35 AM

LOCATION: SOMEWHERE IN TOKYO, PTC OFFICE

"Mogami-san you are quite early today huh?"

"I told you I was never late," I stood up tall and straight in front of this tall and sleek man whom I call the boss. He's a tall and sleek man who has brown hair and round glasses. He never looks like a boss from one look, "I'm quite early, 30 minutes to be exact boss!"

"I told you to call me Yashiro-san," he sighed, "anyway we have a new request for this morning,"

"Aye, aye sir!" Yashiro-san glared at me, "Aye-aye Yashiro-san,"

Yashiro-san presented the picture of our current client

"Takarada Lory, a big name in the business and entertainment industry, he is the current president of LME and has a granddaughter named Maria,"

"Oh such a cutie" I said in a high-pitch voice

"Ahem, as I was saying, he contacted us a few minutes ago, he'll be landing shortly in Japan after his press conference in Korea, so I guess that gives you roughly 2 hours to prepare, the press will be waiting for him outside the airport," he sat at his glass table while fixing his name plate, "your job is to protect, Takarada Lory-san just until he get's to his company building safely, you will be accompanied by two of our guards,"

I nodded, "so what makes him in need of our protection?"

"As you know our agency has been founded by his son and we only protect high profile personalities that are always in the sight of danger", he showed another picture of an unidentifiable person who was wearing a black hoodie and a cctv footage of him following Takarada-san, "This has been going on for a few months now, this person actually follows him everywhere and he has been receiving death threats all around,"

"I see, a stalker huh?"

"He is more than just a stalker, our investigation team's assumption is that unidentifiable person is an ex-employee of LME but the motives of his stalking is still unknown as of the moment,"

"So, three agents will be coming from us?"

"Yes, and the others are his own personal bodyguards," he looked at me intently, "are you ready to protect the client?"

"I sure am," I smirked

*Phone rings* Caller ID: Shou-chan

"excuse me for a sec,"

I went out of the office and answered the call

"Shou-chan? What's the matter?" I asked "What!? I'll send you the money, okay, just don't buy everything that you do not need!...okay okay fine!" I ended the call

"You're still babysitting that idiotic friend of yours?" Yashiro smirked, I just glared at him, "I tell you Mogami-san, he will surely drop you off somewhere when he gets the chance after he debuts,"

"He won't" I confidently whispered.

"You'll see,"

I hope he won't. I just hope he won't.

Tsuruga-Ren's POV

LOCATION: LME Building

TIME: 8:30 AM

"What's with all the commotion?" I asked Yashiro.

"Don't worry, Ren, it's just the president coming earlier than planned," he whispered to me "the grand entrance was always his signature style,"

"Hoping that stalker of his would just stop," I replied, "can you believe he has a stalker in that age!?"

As the boss of the company entered my eyes caught a woman who was dressed with a sleek black uniform pushing through the entrance that is being blocked by the reporters, "Whoah, one tenacious woman huh,"

"Who?"

"That one," I pointed at the black-haired lady who was protecting LME's boss, "the one protecting that old man,"

"Oh," Yashiro whispered, "tenacious indeed"

As that old geezer safely made it into the building the lady bowed her head then shook his hands and left together with two others. "That's odd,"

"What is?" Yashiro asked while he was busily checking my schedule, "Ren, you have an interview later with Japan News Daily for your upcoming drama, at 10 you'll have a press conference for your movie release, then lunch with the your co-stars, then after that would be the evening ball event of LME,"

"Was that today?" Yashiro nodded, "so that's why he came home earlier,"

"I guess so, he just loves preparing stuff related to that," Yashiro replied, "Anyway, let's go, you don't want to be late for your interview"

Kyouko's POV

Time: 8:45 AM

Location: In Front of LME BUILDING

"Boss, mission accomplished, client was successfully transported" I called Yashiro-san through the phone, he is busy working for his part-time job. He is actually a manager of Japan's hottest actor – TSURUGA REN. The mission was accomplished, we transported Lory-san safely and also caught the stalker.

Well the stalker was actually a she who was a longtime fan of Lory-san, so she was actually kind of obsessed with him. I looked at my watched. "Shoot! 15 minutes before my first class! This part-time job is really taking a toll on my studies,"

You may be wondering why did I chose this kind of part-time job? Two reasons. First, I wanted to finish my studies in Tokyo University. Second, I'm actually supporting my friend Fuwa Shotarou, yeap the rising star Fuwa Sho, he will debut as a singer tomorrow morning and I have been paying for his expenses ever since he went to that industry. Well, let's just hope he won't betray me like what Yashiro-san said.

2 months later

Time: 7:00 pm

Location: Somewhere in Tokyo, PTC office

"Tokyo Music Awards, best newbie award FUWA SHO!"

"Fuwa Sho, the star of the next generation of J-pop!"

"Fuwa Sho just topped the Billboard chart!"

"Fuwa Sho-"

"That man! That man! That man! ARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHH!" I yelled as I throwed the remote to the ground. My blood is boiling. After he debuted two months ago he stopped contacting me and even changed his number! I had to use Yashiro-san just to find him, and when I saw him he said "I just hate that plain boring local girl who attaches to me like a leech,"

And yeap, the pandora's box was break lose. He has been in every tv commercial and I just hate hearing his name.

"I told you he'll drop you off once he gained his own popularity," smirked Yashiro-san as he amusingly looked at me.

"Fine! Just shut up okay!" I angrily yelled at him.

"Easy, Easy, here's your next job" he stood up and showed me a photo of the new client, "we need you,"

I stared at him asking if this was a joke. He looked dead serious. "There is no way that I'll be guarding him, right?"

"Sorry but we really need you, your skills are quite formidable," he smiled

"But-but"

"The paying amount will be doubled compared to our clients before,"

My eyes lit. Ah! Yes, school fees! I need to pay for my school fees, damn that Sho, "but this is really dead serious right? He is…" my voice faltered

I asked as I stared and looked at the picture of Japan's most desirable man

"Uhuh, Tsuruga Ren-san" Yashiro continued.
