Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

Seeing the silence of the man, Anna took a deep breath, "Ah forget it," she said to Carlos then looked around.

"Since the first time I came here, I could only see the garden from up there, behind the bedroom window. At first, I was surprised and confused by the number of men hanging around the Mansion, but as the days go by I feel more and more used to it, is this mansion always guarded like this?" Anna said pleasantly, ending with a question.

"What you say is true, madam," replied Carlos.

"Since when? Has it been like this all along?" asked Anna again.

"Yes, madam."

"Why? I mean there's no one in there, Brian isn't here either. There are only maids inhabiting the mansion if the man isn't around."

"Is the area around here so dangerous that it requires close guard?" asked Anna again not taking her eyes off Carlos.

"I don't know, madam. We're all just following his orders," Carlos replied, and that didn't satisfy Anna's curiosity.

"Will the maids also have an escort if they want to leave this place? I mean, maybe they need to shop outside or do something like that?" asked Anna starting to investigate, her voice sounded relaxed but full of curiosity, the woman tried hard so that everything she did and said would not arouse anyone's suspicion, including Carlos.

"Yes, madam," replied the man.

"Not only that, but they are also not allowed to go out every day, and even then if they go out, the maid has a time limit," Carlos replied.

"Even maids are arranged like that? But why? They're just servants."

"I don't know, madam."

"Strange, everyone has to be escorted out of here, as if something big usually happens inside the Mansion," Anna muttered and managed to choke Carlos but only for a few seconds.

"I thought it was just me, it turns out that all Maids also receive such treatment when they leave. Were they delivered by car and escorted like my son earlier? If so, how excessive is that" said Anna again.

"No madam. What you just said was wrong."

"Eh?"

"Even though the maids receive an escort if they leave the Mansion, that doesn't mean they will also receive the treatment you said earlier," Carlos explained and that made the frown on Anna's forehead even more obvious.

"I don't understand what you just said," Anna replied with a shaky breath.

Carlos, who heard Anna's words, was silent for a moment as if he was thinking of a simple sentence that might be easy for the woman to understand.

"If a maid wants to go out for some reason, she is only escorted by one guard, madam. That is after she reports at the guard post at the gate."

"Oh, there's a guard post at the gate?"

"Yes madam."

"That means the maid has to walk there first?" she asked.

"That's right, madam. There, several bodyguards are specifically devoted to escorting the Maids, as well as escorting them to their destination," explained Carlos.

"Use a car?"

"Yes madam."

"Then what's the difference? For me it's the same," replied Anna.

"That's different madam," said Carlos.

Hearing that, Anna sighed, "Ah, it's up to you. There's no benefit for me to know that," said Anna.

Carlos only responded with a faint smile.

"Then what is it?" asked Anna again and at the same time Carlos looked up.

"Which one, madam?" Instead of answering, the man asked back.

"That's the one on your waist, I noticed you always wear it every day," said Anna with one hand pointing at the object hanging on Carlos' waist, what she meant was something that resembled a name tag.

"Which Madame? This one?" Carlos asked.

"Yes, it is."

"Oh, here's my ID, madam."

"Ha?" Anna's brow furrowed in confusion.

"Everyone who works under Mr. Brian's orders has this kind of thing, madam. The goal is to prevent intruders or outsiders from entering this place," Carlos explained in one breath.

"Everyone? Even the maids?"

"Yes, madam."

"Strange, is this really how rich people live?" he muttered but his voice still reached Carlos' ears. According to Anna, this was too much.

But here, on the other hand, she felt very happy, because she could obtain some information regarding the security in this place very easily, and Anna only needed to adapt her plan to the information she had just obtained.

Carlos who heard Anna's muttering instantly froze on the spot as if he had just realized that he had spoken to her a lot.

"Aren't you tired of standing? Come on in and accompany me to finish this meal," Anna said to Carlos.

"No need madam, I'm just here," the man refused without reducing his polite attitude.

Anna nodded and after that, both of them were silent, no more words could be heard from their mouths. Silence took over again.

The breeze blew, carrying the scent of flowers growing in clusters only a few meters away, taking another sip of the cold drink that was on the table, Anna then closed her eyes again.

Enjoying the air that feels so fresh, the occasional hair that she ponytails waved in the wind.

For a moment, he felt a little at peace.

"Carlos, don't you ever go home to your family?" Anna asked after a few minutes of silence, her eyes still closed, seemingly reluctant to open.

"I don't have family, madam," answered Carlos.

Instantly Anna opened her eyelids, sat up straight looking at the man very seriously, "Wh-what do you mean?" stammered Anna.

"I have no family, madam. My family is the only people here," Carlos replied, although his tone sounded very firm, Anna caught the sadness in the man's eyes.

"Ah, I'm sorry for asking like that," said Anna who suddenly felt guilty.

"No problem, madam," Carlos replied curtly.

Anna paused, and returned to her original position, "You know what? You're not alone, Carlos."

"Since my mother died, I've been living alone, my father left me in a state that can't be said to be good," said Anna, telling a little about herself.

"You are not alone, it also seems like you are luckier than me because you have people around you like now," she added.

"You can't say things like that, madam. Everyone has their luck," Carlos replied.

"Erm, I hope what you just said can happen to me too," said Anna.

Carlos who heard that didn't respond anymore.

While on the other hand, Anna was lost in her thoughts again. No one knows what fate will play in her life. It feels so sad and painful at the same time.

Yes, except for her biological son.
