“Hey lil’ thug looks like I won’t be buying you strawberries from now on” Ziggy approached Xhemin as

soon as he reached the strawberry field.

“This is really good news Xhemin” Said Huzey while bending over a vine full of strawberry fruits. Indeed,
fruits are sprouting.

“Little Miss I bet this will make up to the local news and then to national news!” Ang who was overjoyed
exclaimed “You are the only person who was able to grow strawberries in this country!”

“Oh no! that couldn’t be… you know our house rules. Anything that goes here in the ranch we should
keep it a secret” Xhemin reminded Ang.

She too is thrilled about this victory of hers, but they need to keep it to themselves for now. After what
happened the last couple of weeks, Xhemin thought it would be best to keep a low profile.

“But this is news is worthy of national attention Little Miss, it is a breakthrough in our agricultural
industry” Ang mumbled with a crumpled face. His joy earlier was now replaced with dismay.

“I know… I know… but I am still not yet done with my experiments yet” Xhemin tried to cheer him up.
Apart from her, Ang had also exerted so much effort helping her with these plants “We will wait for the
fruit to ripen and I still need to taste it”

“I see…” Ang understood as he let go of a tentative smile.

“For now, lets keep this a ranch thing only” Xhemin added. “Outsider should not know”

“Not a problem little Miss” Ang agreed to the little Miss’ conclusion. Being with the Dughmoh’s for long
a long time, he understood that the grandfather and daughter always want to make a low profile.

“Xhem, this looks cool” Ziggy uttered as he dropped to his knees to check on the vines. “I never did think
you will be able to successfully grow these”

“Strawberries in Hampshire” Huzey squared his shoulders as he made such positive remark. “I told you,
so you can make it”

“You have so much confidence in me Señiorito!” Xhemin delightedly pronounced and run to give Huzey
a kiss on the checks. She later bended over to give Ziggy his kiss too.

The three were so happy about the success of the strawberry experiment. They were still having fun in
the field when Ellie, the Montreal’s butler, came in.

“Youngest Master, Señiorito, Little Miss” Ellie extended his greetings as he bowed to the three.

“Ellie!” Ziggy called onto him and added “What brought you up here?”

“You of course!” Xhemin said with a thin laughter “Who else would Elie check on here?”

“Well Ellie I’m fine…I’m fine... don’t force again to live in the villa… I want to stay here…” Ziggy tried to
brush Ellie away without listening to him first. He is soo done with his family’s appeal to make him stay
in the Montreal Villa.

“That is not what I am here for youngest master” Ellie answered.

“What is it then?” Ziggy confused and slightly annoyed asked as he glanced on Ellie.

“Your father has decided that since there is a threat to your life, it would be better if you have a body
guard.” Ellie said casually, as if the news he just laid down is nothing serious.

With all the training and experience all these years as a butler, he developed a neutral tone to make it
sound that everything he says are all orders from his superiors and that he has nothing to do with it.

“ What?” Ziggy asked in surprise. His eyes grow wide as he aggressively run hands thought his hair. “A
bodyguard? Ellie, you know I don’t like anyone baby sitting me. Also, a body guard only makes me a
fool? What will people say? That I the youngest Montreal cannot protect my own life?”

“Young master, I know that you are not comfortable having employees around you. The one that your
uncle recommended is someone who will be just your company. I assure you people will not see him as
your body guard, he will just be like a companion or a friend” Ellie explained to his master patiently.

“I don’t care!” Ziggy replied in an almost a scream. “I don’t need any other friends…don’t you think I
have enough friends? Tell my father I am not going to accept this”

“Youngest Master” Ellie continued. “Due to the threat in your life... you father insisted you should have
this companion”

“No!” He shouted back. How the heck did his father came up with this idea?

“He said if you reject this proposal, then he will be forced to let you stay in the capital until its safe”

“What?” Another news made Ziggy more irritated “How about school?”

“I am sorry youngest master, but your life is more important than school” Ellie replied with the same
tone. However, no matter how neutral his voice is, Ziggy’s best friends understood that Director
Montreal is blackmailing his son. This means that the threat to the youngest master’s life is serious. His
father no choice but to hire someone to protect him.

“Ziggy…listen” Xhemin who already had a gasped of the situation started persuading him. “To have a
companion is not bad”

“Your father is worried about you” Huzey spoke trying to help Xhemin convinced the Youngest Master.
“Don’t anymore reject this one. It’s for your safety”

“Fine. Ellie just make sure you find me someone people will not suspect as my bodyguard. I don’t want
people to call me a weakling” Ziggy who listens to no one apart from his best friends and doctor Miles
agreed suddenly.

“Yes, youngest master. Don’t worry I’ve seen the person personally and he can easily conceal himself as
your companion” Ellie felt relived. Indeed, it was best to tell the youngest Master in front of his best
friends. If his best friends say so, he consents to it easily.

“Really and who is that?” Suddenly he got curious. Someone who can pretend as his companion and a
friend? Meaning the same age bracket as him?
“Me” A familiar voice answered. A minute after a young man went forward and extend his greetings.
“Hello again youngest master!”

“You!” Ziggy froze in an instant. He couldn’t believe how fate mocked him today. This couldn’t be!

“Hello Señiorito and Little Miss” The young boy bowed down to Xhemin and Huzey politely as if he
didn’t hear Ziggy’s call.

“You are Samuelle right?” Xhemin knows this boy. He was the boy who rescued Ziggy from the accident.
“Hello Samuelle” She extended her arms to make a handshake.

“Little Miss, you can call me Sam” He said as he welcomed Xhemin’s handshake.

“Oh, that’s better I guess… Sam” Xhemin answered with a smile.

“Ellie! How could you do this to me! That person cannot protect me! That person even molested me”
Ziggy who just recently recovered from his shock started screaming.

“……….”

Ellie and Samuelle froze. What is the young master talking about?

“ Cough..cough..cough..” Xhemin aware of what is happening tried to shift everyone’s attention to her.

Huzey suddenly grabbed the hysterical Ziggy and started dragging him away from the strawberry field.

“Ellie let me speak to the youngest master first.” Huzey said as he locked Ziggy in his arms.

“Of course, Señiorito” Ellie, not knowing how to react, replied in an instant.

“Let go of me Huzey! It’s the truth! He molested me!” Ziggy tried to escape from Huzey’s hands.
However, no matter what squeeze and flips he does, Huzey was just too strong for him. He was dragged
on like a little kid trying to run away.

“I’m sorry, the youngest master is not well enough yet” Xhemin reasoned out to Ellie and Sam before
following the two “Ellie, don’t worry, we’ll talk to him about Sam”

Xhemin ran away embarrassed by Ziggy the gorilla’s sudden outburst. She followed the two and helped
Huzey drag Ziggy away.
