Chapter 116 - 116. Ask For Help

"Too much fear is lodged in me, making it difficult for me to make decisions," he added.

"And if Brian hadn't locked you in this house, maybe you would still have kept it to yourself?"

Anna smiled blandly.

Naila rolled her eyes, "Okay, forget it."

"So what do you want me to do?" she asked.

"Brian won't be coming back for a while. I want to use that time to run away with Dave," said Anna starting to say her plan.

"Then? But... Didn't that guy restrain you with his 1001 rules?"

"I contacted him yesterday, he let me out of the mansion, so did Dave. It's just that we weren't allowed to go alone. In other words, Brian wouldn't let us out together."

"I want to ask you to take my son away, Naila."

"But, what about the bodyguards? Dave and I will not be left out of this mansion alone."

"That's why I want to ask for your help in getting Dave away from them. There must be a gap where the Bodyguards will let their guard down."

"Then what about you?"

"Don't worry about me, I can catch up. As long as Dave is safe, then I'm fine," Anna replied.

Then Anna explained her plan in detail to Naila.

What Anna needed to prioritize was her son's safety. Because Anna knew that Brian was behaving badly on her because she was in control of Dave. As long as her son is away from that jerk, then she can do anything because she no longer has to worry about anything and anyone when she has to refuse or disobey Brian's words and wishes.

"But you promise to follow right?"

"You have to promise me, Anna," Naila repeated.

"Erm, I promise. Besides, there's no way I'll stay here any longer."

"Alright, don't turn off your phone. I'll send you our address later. You just let me know if you've managed to get out of this mansion," replied Naila while nodding.

"Sure. I just need to distract them," said Anna again. Yes, all this time she was afraid to move because she was worried about her son's safety.

"Is that all?" asked Naila again.

Anna nodded. "I'm sorry for bothering you, Naila."

"Maybe after you get out of here, you should find another job, because I don't have enough money to keep paying you, But don't worry, I'll give you the remaining salary later, but gradually, it's okay right?"

"Don't think about it, Anna. The most important thing now is that you and your son can get out of here, I'm quite happy if it can be of use to you," replied Naila.

"Thank you in advance."

"You're welcome," replied Naila with a smile.

I didn't realize that time had passed so quickly, an orange light began to glow on the western horizon, a sign that it was now the end of the day.

Neither Anna nor Naila realized that they had been sitting for hours without moving an inch.

Anna turned to the side of the room to see the clock that was there, it was already five o'clock.

"Behave, as usual, Anna. Don't be nervous. Don't let Carlos suspect you," Naila said when she saw the woman's hands in front of her tremble slightly.

"I'll try," replied Anna nodding and getting up from her position, walking towards the bed where her son was still fast asleep.

Naila who saw Anna away from her immediately took a deep breath. The woman she knew had a very cheerful personality turned out to be carrying such a big burden.

Even if she was attentive, Anna never showed a sad expression and the like, because every time their eyes met, the woman always smiled and invited her to joke once in a while.

It is true that the saying goes, that you should never judge someone based on their outward appearance.

Because maybe the one who smiles the most is the one who is the worst.

And that's what Naila found in Anna's figure.

***

The next day.

Anna woke up earlier than usual, for the same reason, she didn't want to accept all the troublesome things the maids would do to her.

.knock... knock... knock...

Anna was just getting out of bed, and suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Good morning, madam," apparently Elena also came earlier than usual.

Immediately a harsh sigh escaped from between Anna's lips. It seemed that her hopes of taking a bath on her own were dashed with Elena's appearance.

"Emm...good morning," replied Anna, sounding very lazy.

"I came early to help you, madam," said Elena.

"Up to you."

Anna gave herself back, reluctantly letting the Maids help her.

***

"Elena..." Anna called to the woman who was tidying the back of the dress she was wearing.

"Yes, madam? Do you need anything?"

"I want to go out for a walk with my son today," said Anna again.

"Mr. Brian won't let you do that, madam."

"I already asked his permission."

"Mr. Brian has also contacted me, madam."

"Is that true?" replied Anna.

"He gave me permission, didn't he?"

"That's right, madam. As long as you don't go out with your son then it's fine," replied Elena.

"Can't you just close your eyes this time? My son and I are bored in this house. Sometimes we also want to go out for fresh air," said Anna with a rough sigh.

"If that's all, you and your Son could go out on different days, madam," suggested Elena.

"Ah yes, why didn't I think about it? But... what if something happened to my son in my absence?" asked Anna in an enthusiastic tone of voice.

"You don't have to worry about that, madam. Some of the bodyguards will escort him when he's outside and so will you," replied Elena, she had said what Mr. Brian had told her a while ago.

"Is that true?" Anna asked to be sure.

"Yes, madam. If you want out, you just have to say it," replied Elena.

"How about today?" she asked.

"Let Naila and Dave out today, will you?"

"Sure, madam."

"Okay, I'll ask Naila to take Dave for a walk today," said Anna again.

"Very well, madam. I will ask some people to escort them," said Elena.

"Um," Anna replied shortly, nodding.

She had been planning this since yesterday with Naila.

And earlier, she had invited Elena to talk just to make small talk. No more.

"Yes, madam," said Elena taking a step back.

"Um, thanks," Anna replied then turned around.

Looking at the clock, it was already eight in the morning.

It turned out that the time she spent from bathing to getting dressed was almost two hours.

A very time-wasting activity.

Even though in that period, she could do many things together with her son.

"Where would you like breakfast, madam?" asked Elena.

"As usual, in my son's room."

"All right, madam.. Then I'll excuse myself."
