Chapter 372 - David Clarke's Order
Anne's screams stopped when the man who had just entered imdiately covered her mouth with his big hand.
"Hush, I've co to save you, Miss. Don't scream or the young master's n will know I'm coming," said a middle-aged man who was none other than Luis Cobb, David Clarke's assistant.
Anne's eyes, which were wet with tears, stared at Luis expectantly and Luis, who seed to be able to read the eyes of the girl in front of him, nodded his head slowly.
"Trust , I have no bad intentions," he repeated.
Anne nodded her head. After she cald down, Luis then removed his hand from Anne's mouth. As a forr special police officer, it was not difficult for Luis to take her away from Alan's private villa. With a bulletproof car, Luis left the villa with Anne, who looked very frightened. Even though she had managed to free herself from Alan's place, she was still afraid. She had not cald down before she managed to return with Linda and her friends..
"Don't be afraid, Miss Marianne, I'm not a bad person. So you don't have to worry," Luis said softly with a smile when he saw through the rearview mirror that Anne was shaking in the back seat.
"H-how do you know my na?" asked Anne, stamring in fear.
Luis smiled, impressed by Anne's politeness. Even though he had only said a few words, David Clarke's personal assistant could tell that Anne was indeed a good girl. "I am Luis, personal assistant to Mr. David Clarke, Miss."
"Sir David Clarke, he's... ahh," Anne imdiately covered her mouth when she said David Clarke's last na. "Clarke... h-he..."
"Yes, Miss, Mr. David Clarke is Mr. Alan's grandfather. Don't worry, he is a good person, you don't have to be afraid. I saved you too because of his direct orders." Luis interrupted Anne, trying to explain who David Clarke was.
Even though Luis had said that David Clarke was a good person, Anne was still afraid. The person who had ruined her life was a Clarke and now she was about to et another Clarke, Anne was really confused. She didn't know what to do now and surrender was all she could do.
From the rearview mirror, Luis looked at Anne who looked very pitiful. She felt pity when he saw how chaotic Anne's condition was. Luckily, the master ordered him to pick up Anne from Alan's place, because if he didn't, who knew what the fate of the kind girl would be. Luis then increased the speed of his car so that he could reach his master's house as soon as possible. Since Anne had already wearing a seat belt behind, Luis did not hesitate to take the car at high speed. He had to get ho soon before Alan realized that his woman was no longer beside him.
The distance from Alan's villa to David Clarke's residence felt very fast, because Luis didn't slow down at all when driving on the highway, so Luis and Anne arrived at the billionaire's residence in 45 minutes, though usually under the normal circumstances, it would take more than one and a half hour.
"Co on down, Miss," said Luis politely to Anne.
"B-but I..."
"Believe , Miss, Mr. Davis is a good man," added Luis quickly, trying to convince Anne for the umpteenth ti.
Anne bit her lower lip trying to hide the great fear that was in her. She slowly stepped out of the car. The majestic building in front of her failed to attract her attention. Instead, she turned her gaze to another direction. She looked around trying to find a way out, but because of the size of David Clarke's yard, the gate she had just walked through seed very far away.
Luis, who was very good at reading soone's body language, seed to be holding back from laughing. He knew what Anne was looking for right now.
"Uhum ... Let's go in, Miss, we'll go up these stairs," said Luis slowly startling Anne.
"Y-yes..."
Luis held out his hand to signal for Anne to enter first. Anne, who didn't want to look for trouble, chose to obey the orders of the man who had just saved her from Alan. When Anne walked up the stairs, Luis' eyes narrowed, he didn't realize that Anne had not been wearing footwear. There was a great sense of guilt in him at the mont when he saw Anne's feet were red when she stepped on the hard stairs. Because she had arrived in front of the main door, Anne stopped her footsteps and turned to Luis, who was still below. Realizing that Anne was waiting for him, Luis rushed up the stairs, he quickly touched the door handle and pushed it slowly.
"Please co in, Miss."
Anne shook her head in disapproval of Luis' orders, her eyes showing both confusion and fear at the mont.
"The master is waiting for us, Miss," said Luis again.
Anne was still unmoved. She was not used to entering a stranger's place before the owner entered first. Luis finally realized his mistake. He slowly entered the house and again asked Anne to co in. With a little fear, Anne stepped into the super large house and played with her fingers while in the main room of the Clarke family residence. Her heart was racing again when she saw the photo of Alan Knight Clarke standing proudly beside his grandfather, Mr. David Clarke, who was sitting on an oversized chair. Unknowingly, Anne even stepped back because she felt like she was facing Alan face-to-face, when clearly what she was looking at was a large photo hanging on the wall.
"Are you okay, Miss?" asked Luis in confusion. He felt that there was sothing strange with Anne.
"May I go, Luis?" asked Anne in an almost inaudible voice.
Luis raised an eyebrow at Anne's words. "We have arrived at the Clarke family residence at the mont and the master will be coming down to et you soon, so how could you possibly leave?"
Anne lifted her face and looked at Luis with teary eyes. "I'm scared..."
"Scared? Why are you afraid, Miss? I didn't do anything to you, I didn't hurt you. I didn't do anything to harm you either, so why should you be afraid?" Luis imdiately cut Anne's words quickly. Luis felt that there was sothing wrong with the girl in front of him.
Anne raised one hand and pointed at the large photo of Alan and his grandfather that hung majestically on the wall. "To him, I'm afraid of that monster."
Thump!
Luis was astonished when he heard Anne's words. Never before had a girl shown such a great expression of disdain and fear towards her young master.
"Young master, are you afraid of him, Miss?"
Anne turned and looked at Luis with a face that was already flooded with tears again, the fear was evident in Anne. "H-he's a monster..."
"Are you calling my grandson Alan a monster, Miss Marianne?" Mr. David Clarke, who apparently had heard the conversation between Anne and his assistant, imdiately cut Anne's words.
Hearing soone else talking, Anne imdiately raised her face and looked for the source of the voice. Anne spontaneously covered her mouth when she saw the man she previously saw in the photo with Alan was now approaching her in a wheelchair pushed by a man who was the butler of the Clarke residence.
"Help , God," said Anne quietly without realizing it.
Luis, who was standing right beside Anne, smiled at her words. "It's true as Master said, this girl is really a good girl."
