238 I'd Like To Have Coffee Please

Leon raised his ready to slap her when another hand stop him.

"This may not be our home but this is not yours either, don't go hitting the guests of the master of the house when you yourself came uninvited," Timothy said after stopping his hand.

Both he and Xander stood in front of Amber, in a protective way.

Leon sneered, "You even seduced these two? I'm amazed at how much you brandished your claws."

Amber smiled sweetly this time, "I say old man, your mind is quite imaginative isn't it?"

Though she was grateful that she already had the habit of wearing her mask even inside the house.

This surprise visit didn't place her into a difficult situation.

"Old man?!? You rude bi***," Leon said in greeted teeth.

"Grand father please, didn't you say we would come here for a talk. Let's not get into a fight," Carla finally spoke up.

She was clutching unto her dress like she was truly pitiful.

Alissa and Samantha looked at one another before both rolled their eyes.

"Carla dear, she had been belittling you all these time. Don't show any sympathy towards her," Leon looked down at her before looking back at Amber.

"I am telling you this one last time, apologize to her and leave at once. Don't show yourself in front of us or the Wrights ever again. Then I would let you off the hook. But if you don't..."

His eyes turned cold as he said his last words.

'How cliché, if this is their home or ours I think guards would suddenly show up and surround us,' Amber thought as she shook her head.

She was about to answer when she saw the man standing by the door step, she decided to purse her lips instead.

Leon took this as her being intimidated, "You seem to finally understand where you stand. I am warning you one last time, Carla is the one who will marry Ashton not you or anybody else."

Amber still didn't speak as she just look at Leon.

"Now leave!!" he commanded pointing outside.

"I say, aren't you too sure of yourself here. Throwing out the guests of the master of the house despite this not being your own," finally the man by the door step spoke up.

All of them other than the pair actually saw him, that's why no one spoke any more words.

Carla and Leon were shock, both looked back and what they saw made them swallow hard.

Ashton was leaning on the wall by the door watching them with cold eyes.

"We are just doing you a favor, these people are obviously trying to climb the ladder by using your family," Leon regained his composure and said boldly.

"Climbing the ladder?" Ashton said his voice devoid of emotion.

Before looking to the side where the maid remained standing, she was the one who let the pair in.

The maid felt shivers run down her spine as she looked at him.

She was used of Carla visiting and she was gentle towards them unlike these people who just came and even dared to sleep until late.

"Cedric," Ashton called.

Cedric was with him in his errand today so he obviously was with him standing just outside.

"Understood young master," Cedric said before pulling the maid by the arm.

"It seems you have forgotten who you should be serving," he said.

"Wright may be the kindest but that doesn't mean they are lenient. You have insulted not just the young master who commanded you but even the future young madam. Your punishment shall not be light," he added.

That's when realization hit the maid and she started begging but no one cared.

"Now, shall we start by you explaining why you have come to visit especially when everyone was out except for them?" Ashton started as he walked towards them.

Xander and Timothy walked back to Samantha and Alissa's side as Ashton stood in front of Amber.

Amber puffed her cheeks before walking to his side instead.

Ashton hid it well but deep within his eyes there was glee at the way she do things.

Leon looked at her sharply but she looked at him with a raised brow and a playful smile.

"Can't we come despite what that woman did to my granddaughter?" Leon looked at Ashton when he took a little step forward shielding Amber's view from Leon.

Amber could only pout, he really is showing that he will protect her no matter who he will face.

Then slowly a smile appeared on her lips, despite being capable enough to face these people it is still fun to see your man protecting you from them.

"You are a major shareholder of the company, we would normally meet each other on meetings, I wonder why sir Ansel came all this way to meet us, knowing full well that it is time for work," Ashton answered back.

"I already told you, that woman injured-"

"I have heard it the first time, then do you want us to recollect what had happened that night? How your daughter almost killed an unborn child? Putting the mother's life in danger as well?" Ashton interrupted and said.

Leon didn't know what to reply.

"Please sir Ansel, see yourself out. Someone who uses his authority to bully others is not welcome in this house. The door is open for you to push your granddaughter outside," Ashton added.

Leon pointed at him, "You dare. Just you wait, I'm pulling out all those shares. See what the others would say about you and that woman in the meeting tomorrow."

In angry steps, he pushed Carla out.

She on the other hand remained silent but looked at Amber with blazing eyes.

Amber who was enjoying this waved a hand at her with a grin.

"Wow, those two really have the nerves. Just how much is their share anyway for them to act in such a way in front of you when you are the master of the Empire?" Xander was holding back all these time.

"They have the highest share other than the family. Higher than James Scott," Ashton answered as he sat down.

"Anyway, have you eaten?" Amber didn't bother with this and asked him instead.

She didn't know whether he left without eating or if he already ate but since he just came she asked him anyway.

"You haven't eaten?" he asked in furrowed brows before checking the time, it was already past lunch time.

"Well you didn't wake me up so I just woke up, then we have those intruders," Amber replied with a shrug.

"Come on, better eat now," he stood up and said pulling her by the hand.

The other four just watched the two of them.

"Look at these two, there was a matter at hand and yet they are all being lovey dovey right in front of us," Xander shook his head.

"As if this little matters would affect the two of them," Timothy rolled his eyes as he said this.

Samantha and Alissa giggled, with the matter at hand. One would consider it as a dire one already yet here they are witnessing two people treating it like it was nothing.

"Well, I think it is indeed nothing for they were already well prepared. They are just waiting for those two to embarrass themselves," Samantha said with a smile.

A few minutes later they heard a glass crashing from the kitchen where those two went.

*****

"I'd like to have coffee please," Amber said with a smile while sitting in the kitchen counter watching Ashton reheat the food that was prepared by Liana.

Ashton moved and started making some coffee and once it was done handed it to her.

"Oh, that smells real nice," she said as she took a seat.

Ashton turned around to continue reheating the food and Amber stood up to see how he was doing when suddenly her knees give way. Even her hands causing the cup to crash on the floor.

She didn't get the chance to even utter a single word when she fell to the floor her hand and leg ended up being wounded by the broken glasses.

Ashton heard the crash and when he looked back she was already lying on the floor.

"Thalie!!"

As he exclaimed, the other four entered as well.

He scoop her into his arms.

"No wonder I slept too much and was feeling lethargic, this completely slip my mind," she said in a weak voice.

She had completely forgotten, she still have this type of sickness. Since it's been half a year already and she had no attacks together with the fact that she was busy, the side effect slipped her mind.

Her clothes were stained by the coffee and she has a few wounds.

"Let's get you change and treated for now," Ashton said.

His voice were strained and she knew the reason for it. Unless the side effect is completely cured, her life will always be in danger especially when it appears during the times she was in the middle of a fight.
