Mrs. Anne got out of her car, she wore 5cm high heels and walked gracefully carrying a lot of groceries. Behind her there was Azzhura who also got out of the car while playing with his cellphone in hand.
They children and mothers really like to go out just to eat or shop, they don't think about Mr. Brandon who is lying sick in bed. Although indeed Mr. Brandon's pain was their fault.
Footsteps were getting deeper, Mrs. Anne's eyes scanned one by one the maids who were still guarding Grandma Lecy's coffin. I don't know how long the coffin will be left without being buried. "Tskckck.. this Mansion smells like a funeral. Buy another air freshener, I'm really sick of smelling that coffin." Mrs. Anne said to the butler, Then she went up the stairs one by one to the top floor.
As she almost reached the top floor, her eyes caught sight of a woman who was quite unfamiliar. From the way she was dressed, she didn't look like a maid in this mansion at all. But in the woman's hand there is an empty plate and an empty glass used. "Who are you?." Mrs. Anne asked the woman.
"Good evening Mrs. Anne, I am Laila. Miss Choon-hee's personal assistant and bodyguard. Nice to meet you." The woman's words were quite rude.
"You have enough with me? To say this casually? After all, why does that mercenary use a personal assistant at all? She feels so busy and famous?" A tone of envy could be heard clearly from Mrs. Anne's mouth.
"I was ordered directly by Mr. Edwards. I previously worked at the Douglas family's main firm as head of corporate security." Hearing the last sentence, Mrs. Anne and Azzhura immediately stared in disbelief and swallowed their saliva with difficulty. So this woman in front of them was one of the company's top brass, and in the security sector? Mrs. Anne knows well enough that the top brass of the Douglas company, consists of several great people and secret agents whose intelligence cannot be doubted.
"I see, nice to meet you." Mrs. Anne said she didn't want to get into trouble with important people like Laila, because they were just what Edwards said. Because Edwards was the holder of power in the company, even though Mrs. Anne was Mrs. Douglas. But based on the existing regulations, Mrs. Anne is not someone who can scorn the high-ranking members of the company.
Because in large companies, there are members who each help to keep the company running well. Its members can come from shareholders, government, or secret agents. They work under the leadership of the holder of power, namely Edwards.
That's why Mrs. Anne wanted so badly to get the right to be in power, so she could get those great members.
But all these things must be done slowly, because it is not easy to get rid of Edwards who has full rights in the Douglas company.
Thanks to the large stake that Edwards currently holds, even Mr. Brandon cannot replace Edwards. Even though Brandon is his father and Edwards is only a child. But that's how power speaks, the corporate system is not the royal system. In a company only the largest shareholder is the leader.
"Excuse me madam, I'm going to the kitchen." Said Laila again, Mrs. Anne shifted her body slightly and let Laila go from in front of her.
Anne and Azzhura immediately stepped again, they walked quickly to the room and closed the room door, even Mrs. Anne locked the door so that no one could enter there.
"Mom? How can a high-ranking member of the company become Choon-hee's Assistant? We're dealing with someone extraordinarily great here." Azzhura whispered softly, because she felt that the current situation was not fine. Which means they can't touch Choon-hee at all, now that someone is looking after her.
Not to mention that the fact that Choon-hee is a child of the Berenice Family, Mrs. Anne's business is complicated in this life.
"Mommy doesn't know either! This is what Mommy is worried about! If it were like this, Mommy would never have brought Choon-hee into our house! Mommy thought she was just an ordinary woman and could only sell herself. Mommy had never seen Edwards care so much about women. Like this! Violet has never been given a personal assistant, how come Choon-hee can? And her personal assistant is not from the common people! But the company's top brass! This is crazy, We can be destroyed before the war, Choon-Hee has fate and a strong grip. That damn woman! It really gave me a headache!" Mrs. Anne was already muttering in annoyance that everything about Choon-hee lately was making her health not good.
"We have to be careful now Mom, I don't want us to get into a lot of trouble because of our carelessness. Tell Doctor Mona to speed up Daddy's illness, make Daddy incurable again. So let him breathe, but his body is paralyzed forever. I don't want to until Daddy gets better and we'll be thrown out on the streets again. I'm sure Choon-hee will want Daddy to get well. I'm sure that sooner or later Choon-hee will put us in a dilemma." Azzhura was already looking at Mr. Brandon's face, who was already staring back at Azzhura.
"Mommy knows, But now Mommy has to find another way so as not to be suspected by Choon-hee or Edwards. If Choon-hee already knew about the poison that can burn the skin, she will surely blame us if Daddy's skin is really blistered. So now We have to find another poison, with other effects too. We have to stay away from it for a while, the most important thing is that we focus on our business first. We can take care of Choon-hee later." Said Anne.
"Yes Mom, I believe in Mommy. But we also have to make sure that Daddy will give his Shares to Mommy." Azzhura gently stroked her father's head and smiled slyly.
"Speaking of shares, Mommy also doesn't know where Grandma Lecy's shares went after she died. Did they also give them to Edwards?" Anne asked herself.
"We'll find out soon after Granny Lecy is buried, but the truth is until today Edwards hasn't wanted to bury her." Azzhura said annoyed, she was confused as to why Edwards could be so relaxed about letting a body that was about to rot, in this big Mansion.
"Ahhhh! Edwards and Choon-hee are now making me have to work even harder. Come on, Mommy wants to rest for a bit. You go to your room." Mrs. Anne chased her daughter away, Azzhura just nodded and opened the door to leave her mother's room.. Just let her mother rest for a while.
