Although he doesn't have any relationship with Anna or the two figures who are with him, as a normal human, he can't bear to let Dave and Naila just like that.
Silence, no sound or any more talk from the two of them.
Both Leo and Naila were busy with their thoughts.
Glancing at the clock in the car, it was already a few minutes past one. A tired sigh escaped Naila's lips, how do Anna's condition now? The bodyguards must have known that she and Dave had disappeared.
***
Brian's Mansion
Anna had not moved a bit from the side of the window, her eyes never left the bodyguards who were still passing by under there. No one seems to have noticed that Dave and Naila have managed to escape. Because those down there still look fine.
Knock...knock...knock...
The sound of a knock on the door broke her focus, immediately Anna turned to open the door.
"Good afternoon, madam," said Elena right after she opened the door. Carlos was there too.
"What is it?"
"I've had lunch, you're not going to ask me to take a nap too right?" Sarcastically Anna, even though the woman had not said the intent and purpose of visiting at a break like this.
"Sorry if I interrupt your time, madam."
"I just want to ask for Naila's contact number," said Elena trying to look as natural as possible.
The woman had learned of what had happened at the amusement park, Mrs. Anna's son and the babysitter had disappeared, nowhere to be found. She wanted to call the girl's contact but didn't have her number, let's say this was one of her carelessness. She finally decided to ask Anna for it, acting, as usual, afraid that she would find out that her son was missing.
"Naila's contact?" Anna's brow furrowed.
"What for?"
"I just wanted to ask her, madam. Just in case something happens," replied Elena with her head down.
"Really? You don't have anything to hide from me, do you?" she asked.
"Nothing, madam. You don't have to worry."
"Okay, wait a minute," Anna said then turned back into the room, took the flat-shaped object.
"Okay, madam," replied Elena.
Anna walked back to Elena while looking for Naila's contacts. Lucky before she had asked the girl to deactivate the dual sim on her cellphone. So that only one number can be contacted while the others are not active.
And what Anna intends to give to Elena is Naila's inactive contact.
"Here," Anna said as she turned her phone screen towards Elena. There was already the contact the woman had asked for.
Seeing this, Elena quickly took out her cell phone and copied the number on the screen.
"You're not hiding anything from me are you?" Anna repeated, and that made Elena pause for a moment with her finger movements.
"N-no, madam. It won't do me any good to lie to you," Elena stuttered slightly.
Anna responded with a nod, "Um, that's good. I hope what you say is true," Anna said casually.
Anna guessed that maybe Elena already knew that Naila and Dave were missing, just by seeing from her arrival who suddenly asked for the girl's contact number.
"Yes, madam. Thank you," said Elena as she put her cell phone back into her trouser pocket.
"Um, okay," replied Anna.
"Is there more?" she asked when she didn't see her leaving the door.
"Ah, no, no, madam. Then I'll excuse myself," she said resignedly.
"Okay," replied Anna.
Watching the woman disappear at the end of the corridor, Anna still stood in her position not moving an inch.
"What is it, madam? Do you need anything?" Carlos asked when he saw that the woman just stood speechless.
"My son and babysitter haven't come home yet, I'm bored Carlos," replied Anna turning her gaze to Carlos who was looking at her.
"Maybe they'll be back soon, madam. You have to be patient."
"Hmm, may I take a walk in the park?" Anna asked the man.
"No, madam."
"Why? Don't you feel sorry for me? Every day just in this room, doing nothing. What are you afraid of anyway? There's no way I can run away, it's no use to me. And also is there you who are always near me? not only you, but several bodyguards hanging around down there," said Anna at length, trying to persuade Carlos, her eyes were filled with tears.
Carlos who saw this took a deep breath, deep down he couldn't bear to see Mrs. Anna like that. It's just, what can he do? If he obeys the woman's wishes, it means he is violating the rules that have been set on him.
"Come on, just once. Brian isn't here anyway. I won't tell him this," said Anna, still trying to persuade Carlos.
"But madam...." Carlos' sentence hangs.
Anna immediately dropped her body to the floor, sitting cross-legged in front of Carlos with her face down.
"Please, just this once. I'm so bored in my room," she said again and started sobbing.
"Madam... what are you doing?" Carlos immediately equalized his position with Anna, both hands wanted to hold the woman's shoulders but couldn't because they felt very shy.
"It's OK, right? Just this once, until my son and babysitter come home, I'll come back in," said Anna, tears starting to fall from her eyelids, her head slightly raised and looking at Carlos pleadingly.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Carlos felt a little pity. He then took a deep breath. Maybe letting Mrs. Anna out once in a while wouldn't be a problem. After all, there are a lot of bodyguards below.
If it was him, it might as well feel the same way as that woman. Even though the room looks very spacious and luxurious, being in the same place constantly is not a good thing.
"Okay, madam," said Carlos, finally complying with Anna's request. Yes, this was the first and last time he gave up. He couldn't bear to see a woman showing such an expression to him.
Immediately Anna rubbed her wet cheeks, "Really? I'm allowed to go out and take a walk in the park?" Anna asked to be sure.
Carlos nodded gently, "Yes madam," said Carlos.
"But you have to promise me one thing," the man added.
"What's that? Tell me," Anna replied, her hands still busy rubbing her cheeks.
"You can't walk further, only in the garden. You can't even go near the gate," Carlos said.
"You don't have to worry, won't you always follow and watch over me wherever I go?"
"You can rebuke me if I cross the line," Anna added again.
Carlos only gave a faint smile, "Now get up.. Cold floors are not good for your health, madam.
