Chapter 20

Kenzo and Yara arrived at the trekking area. There were group of friends and families and even lovers who were waiting for the guide to start the trek.

"Ken? Bro!" Someone called Kenzo's name and when he looked back he felt a little annoyed.

"Ryker? What a coincidence?" Kenzo faked his smile. They shook hands and Ryker faced Yara.

"Good to see you again Miss Yara." Ryker said with a bright smile on his handsome face.

Yara remembered how arrogant this man was but she had to treat him nice because he is their client.

"Hello, Mr. Castillo." Yara said.

"It's Ryker." The man said and offered a handshake to Yara but the latter is hesitant but later accepted out of respect.

"So, you're going to trek? You can join us if you want. The more the merrier." Ryker said.

Yara is hoping that Kenzo will not accept the invitation but to her dismay, the man agreed. They walked towards the group of Ryker that is made up of his friends.

"Guys, I want you to meet Engineer Kenzo Vasquez and Yara Gomez." Ryker said to his friends.

"Wow! The famous Engineer in town." One of Ryker's friend said and gave a handshake to Ken.

"Hi, handsome!" One of the girls said.

"I'm Maeghan, nice to meet you, can I call you Ken?" The girl said seductively while holding Kenzo's arms. Ryker smirked.

"Maeghan, take good care of Engineer Vasquez. We still a have a project to do." Ryker said and looked at Yara.

"Let's go, I will be your guide." Ryker continued and put his arms on Yara's shoulders.

Yara tried to remove Ryker's arms on her shoulders but she failed. The man tightened his embraced. She wanted to give him his own medicine but she knew it would only create a scene.

On the other hand, Kenzo wanted to punch Ryker for taking advantage of Yara. He wanted to pull Yara back to his side but Maeghan stopped him.

"Is she your girlfriend?" Maeghan asked.

"Not yet." Kenzo said.

"Really? So she's single now? Ryker might take this chance to get her." Maeghan said that made Kenzo frowned. He removed Maeghan's hands on his arms and walked towards Ryker and Yara.

"Hey!" Maeghan said but Kenzo didn't looked back.

"Ken, where's Maeghan?" The trek might start now." Ryker said.

"I've changed my mind. Let's go." Kenzo said and pulled Yara away from Ryker.

"Hhhmmm, Engineer Kenzo Vasquez. Who's Yara Gomez in your life? Don't worry, the game has just started. You're in the lead now, but I will make it sure that I will win." Ryker said to himself while smirking.

Kenzo is pulling Yara harshly making the latter tripped sometimes. His grip is also tight making Yara feel a little sore on her wrist.

"Hey!" Yara said to get his attention but Kenzo didn't stopped.

"Kenzo!" Yara shouted and that's when Kenzo looked at her.

"What!?" Kenzo said with anger in his tone. Yara felt a little scared but have the courage to speak.

"Look, I'm really thankful that you pulled me away from that bastard because if you didn't, I might punch him because of his advantages and it will endanger our project from him. But, even I escaped him, you! Look at my feet and this!" Yara said pointing the redness on her wrist.

Kenzo's face softened seeing Yara's little cuts on her feet and the mark of his hands on her wrist. He sighed deeply.

"I'm sorry. I'm really pissed off a while ago. But why did you let him put his arms on your shoulders? He even holds your hands and you even talked to him!" Kenzo said irritably again remembering how Ryker took advantage of Yara.

"Didn't you saw that I tried to remove his arms but that bastard didn't let me! He's your client and I'm just your secretary! If I will not be nice to him, he might withdraw the project from Abstract Worx! Yara said annoyingly.

"The hell with his project! I don't care if I lost a client like him! You're more important than him!" Kenzo said shouting.

Yara blushed and Kenzo kept quiet after saying those words.

After a while, Yara looked around and there are few couples walking back and forth. She furrowed her forehead seeing a couple that was drenched with water.

"Where are we?" Yara asked that made Kenzo looked around.

"Ah, Haven's Cave." Kenzo said.

"Why are they wet?" Yara asked curiously.

"There's a pool inside the cave. You want to see. I'm sure you'll like it." Kenzo said smiling. Yara excitedly nodded.

"Wow! It's beautiful!" Yara said when they were already inside the cave. Kenzo smiled seeing Yara's reaction.

"You want to swim?" Kenzo asked.

"Wearing this?" Yara asked pointing her shirt and pants.

"Yes. We can dry up later." Kenzo said and in an instant he jumped to the pool. Yara laughed seeing Kenzo became cold.

"Come, it's fun." Kenzo said. Yara put down her cardigan and phone.

"Where's your phone?" Yara said.

"Don't worry, this is water proof." Kenzo said holding his phone.

Yara breathed and then counted 1-3 then jumped.

"It's really cold." Yara said and Kenzo laughed.

"Yeah!" Kenzo said.

"Why didn't you tell me? It's like an ice cold water." Yara said hugging herself.

"Don't worry, you'll get use to it after a while. Come." Kenzo said and pulled Yara to embrace her and it was a wrong move.

Kenzo gulped feeling the softness of Yara's body. Yara blushed when she felt Kenzo's manhood starting to stand on its own.

"Still cold?" Kenzo said. Yara shook her head for a NO answer.

"Yara?" Kenzo said and Yara looked up.

"Remember, you're not only my secretary. You're the mother of my child. You're more important that those assholes. Promise me, you won't sacrifice yourself for the sake of Abstain Worx, understood?" Kenzo said.

"Yes, Boss." Yara said and smiled.

Kenzo felt he was bewitched. He holds Yara's chin and slowly moved closer but when he was already near Yara's lips, someone cleared his throat.

It was the guide that will remind them that their time was already finished, the next couple is behind him. Kenzo helped Yara to get out from the water and when he saw Yara's clothes, he immediately got the cardigan and put it on Yara. His ears were bright red and Yara saw it.

"Pervert!" Yara said and Kenzo laughed.
