✨Chapter 7✨

Two days later

A knock on the door was what woke Julia from her sleep that early morning. She was planning to go a bit late to work because she was feeling tired, but this person had to ruin her sleep.

She opened the gate with the remote and waited to see whoever it was.

When the person came in, it turned out to be a handsome-looking man. He was handsome but also looked like he was in his thirties.

"Good morning, ma'am! I guess I woke you up, and I'm sorry about that. I'm going to be your bodyguard starting today," the man said, and Julia's mouth curved into an "o."

She made the payment the previous day and signed the documents but she didn't see the man. She was only told that he would be resuming work today.

"You are Peterson?" Julia asked

"Yes. I'm Peterson, and I'm thirty-seven years old". Peterson answered

"That's great! Please come in." Julia gestured and went in

"This is the main building, but it's not where you are going to be staying. My room is upstairs, third room on the right, and you can see the kitchen there" Julia pointed.

"I'm going to get ready for work and take you to where you will be staying, so wait here," she added.

"Yes ma'am," Peterson said

"Ma'am makes me feel took hold. Just call me Julia, or you can add Miss to it if you are not comfortable. Just call me Julia," Julia said and went upstairs.

She returned about forty minutes later and took Peterson to the other building that was behind the main building.

"You can pick any of the rooms you want," Julia told him.

"Alright Miss Julia" Peterson said

"I will be going to work now. You can drive right?" Julia asked

"Sure" Peterson answered.

"Okay, you will be driving from now on. And just so you know, I'm pregnant, so please be careful when driving," Julia said

For the following months, Roy stayed away from Julia because of her bodyguard, and just like Julia promised Dylan, she didn't show up before him.

Dylan was taking his drugs properly, but nothing seemed to change until three months was over.

"I promised we were going to get married if I don't regain my memory within three months. You can announce our wedding now and start preparing for it," Dylan said to Nicole that morning

"Really? Oh my God! I love you so much," Nicole screamed excitedly and hugged him tight.

For some reason, Dylan couldn't say he wasn't happy with the wedding. He didn't feel like getting married to Nicole because no matter how much he thought about it, he had no feelings for her.

The reason why he has no choice but to get married to her is because he promised her already and besides, age has been the only one by his side.

Dylan already knows how to manage his company properly again, and he was very active at work, but he still couldn't remember anything from his past.

The wedding announcement got many hateful comments, and only a few people supported it. Dylan didn't understand why they were against his marriage with Nicole even though they'd been dating for over two years but he let it go. He decided not to care about whatever people say about him.

Julia's company

"W... what did you say?" Julia stuttered

"Mr. Dylan announced his wedding with Nicole, and Nicole wants to get their wedding clothes here," Mia said again.

"When are they coming?" Julia pulled herself together and asked

"This weekend. Their wedding is going to take place next weekend," Mia said

"Okay, thank you. You can leave now," Julia said

Julia called Peterson to her office as soon as Mia left.

"You called for me," Peterson said when he got in.

"Yes, I need you to book a plane ticket to Paris. You can book two if you also want to come with me. I'll be spending nothing less than three years there, and it might be more than that," Julia explained.

"It's fine, I will come with you" Peterson said

"Okay. The ticket should be for Monday. Once you've been told the amount, let me know so I can send it to you," Julia said and dismissed him.

Saturday morning

"We will be going to try on our wedding clothes? You never told me about it before," Dylan said

"I wanted to surprise you," Nicole said

"I had plans for today, can't we postpone it?" Dylan asked

"We can't postpone it because it's a very big fashion company. You have to book an appointment at least five days earlier, so if we cancel it now, we will have to go elsewhere," Nicole pouted.

"Fine, let's just go," Dylan said

They got into the car and drove for a while until they arrived at Julia's company.

"J and D fashion company? Why does it have the same name as my company, and how come I've not heard of it before?" Dylan asked

"It shows just how much she's obsessed with you," Nicole said

"Julia?" Dylan asked

"You still haven't forgotten her name. Anyway, let's go in," Nicole said

The workers took them to the clothing section so that they could pick whichever one they wanted.

"Welcome to J and D fashion company, it's so nice to have you here. We have so many designs, but these two are the most preferred for wealthy couples like you," Julia said

Nicole was surprised that Julia was attending to them herself. She wasn't expecting it, and she started getting nervous.

Dylan couldn't take his gaze off Julia because of how pretty she looked. She seemed to have gotten prettier after the last time they met, and her cheeks looked chubby.

"We will go with this then since wealthy people wear it a lot. Also, I hope you know we will be getting married, I guess it's obvious already. This is the wedding invitation. I'm officially inviting you to our wedding, it will be an honor to us" Nicole said and stretched the card to Julia.

"I'm sorry, but I will have to politely decline your request. You can choose to try your dress or not and pay the money once you're done," Julia concluded and returned to her office.

"Are you okay? You should have just let me attend to them. I never knew Nicole was this evil, to think she came here to try on her wedding dress. She's purposely adding salt to your injury," Mia said angrily.

"It's fine Mia. I will be traveling on Monday, and I won't be back for three years. I can entrust the company to you, right?" Julia asked

"Why are you traveling? If it's because of their wedding

........."

"It's not because of their wedding. I need a change of environment, and I need to be strong. I know I can trust you, so I'll just let you report the details of everything to me," Julia said

"Okay. But I'm really going to miss you," Mia said sadly.

"It's not like I will be gone forever. Three years will come and go like a flash, and I'll be back," Julia said

"I will patiently wait for your return then. I guess today will be your last day at work before you leave?" Mia asked

"Yes, I will inform the rest of the workers before I leave today," Julia said

"What time is your flight?" Mia asked

Julia told her the time for her flight, and Mia promised to see her off.
