Choosing the Right Companions


    ?


    Although her pronunciation was quite awkward, it was evident that she understood my words and responded urately. I felt happy about that.


    I told her, "Tonight, you''ll leave with me and stay at my house. We''ll set off tomorrow."


    This time, she seemed a bit puzzled. Thinking she didn''t understand, I gestured and repeated myself.


    She nodded, pointing to herself, "I''m going... to your house?"


    I nodded. "Yes, I came to pick you up."


    She looked somewhat excited. After contemting, she said to me, "Then, let me get my original clothes. I want to wear them when we arrive there."


    I agreed with a nod. However, I cautioned her, "Just tell them I''m here to take you with me. Don''t tell them where we''re going."


    The reason for this caution was to avoid her saying too much. The people here might inform As, who could then hinder my journey. The individuals here were all elite soldiers, astute and sharp.


    She hesitated momentarily, and I quickly rified, "I''ll inform them myself."


    Anya immediately understood and rushed back.


    I went to the main building, nning to inform the person in charge of my purpose foring here.


    Before I reached the main building, a young man came running toward me. "Madam, do you have any instructions for us?"


    "I want to take Anya to Pleca Park. Mr. As is on a business trip, so I came to pick her up myself. I thought I could ask Anya about the situation there since I can''t contact Mr. As right now."


    "Okay." He responded respectfully. Anyone would know about As''s fondness for me, so I was confident he wouldn''t oppose my wishes.


    Anya, carrying a small bag, ran out. She didn''t seem like she was going far.


    "I''ll take her back now. We''ll be back in a few days." I told the person in charge.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    He nodded, "Okay, Madam. I''ll open the door for you."


    He followed me quickly into the car. Taking Anya with me, I drove to the entrance. The young man exited the car and opened the concealed door for us. I honked as a farewell gesture, then entered the tunnel, leaving the storage area.


    Anya''s expression was quite exaggerated. I guessed she hadn''t expected there to be such a hidden road here, so I didn''t exin too much to her. When we arrived at Pleca Park, I drove into the front hall''s parking lot and told her, "We''re home. Come, follow me."


    She cautiously exited the car, held her bag, and followed me tentatively. She looked somewhat reserved, and I took the lead toward the elevator.


    It was veryte, and the surroundings were silent. Thendscape lights in the garden had already been turned off, making it hard to see. Anya seemed a bit nervous in this new environment.


    I held her hand. "Don''t be afraid. This is my home, and it''s very safe. You can trust me."


    She forced a stiff smile and nodded, saying, "Okay."


    Taking her to Molly, I nned for her to stay in the room opposite hers After all, she wasn''t familiar with this ce, and I was a bit worried. I didn''t have time to take care of her either.


    "Molly, she is Anya. She''ll stay with us for a while. Please make arrangements for her and take good care of her."


    As soon as Molly saw that it was someone brought back, she became very enthusiastic. "Oh, this little girl is so pretty. Mrs. Chloe, you leave her to me. I''ll arrange everything. Don''t worry."


    "Okay." I told Anya again, "This is Molly. You will stay in the room opposite her. If you need anything just tell her. Don''t be afraid, and treat this ce as your home. I''ll be upstairs. Rest well, and I''lle find you tomorrow morning."


    She nodded vigorously, looking at Molly with a nervous smile.


    After entrusting Anya to Molly, I returned to my room. I quickly called Arton, and the call went through immediately, showing that he had been waiting for my call.


    "Arton, are you still at the construction site now?" I asked directly.


    "Yeah."


    "I''m going on a trip tomorrow, and the ce is a little shady. I want you to apany me."


    "Okay, I''ll return to Foswood right away." Arton didn''t hesitate at all. He didn''t even ask where we were going and immediately agreed.


    "You don''t have to be in such a hurry. Juste back early tomorrow morning." I told him, as I still had some things to arrange in the morning, and this time was toote.


    "Okay. Shall I wait for you at Tanum tomorrow morning?" Arton asked.


    "Sure, but aren''t you asking where I''m going?"
