Chapter 573 - The Guard's Arrival
"Madam..."
Anne's steps stopped as she was just about to climb the stairs when she heard a familiar voice calling her. She slowly turned her head around and was very surprised when she saw who the owner of the voice was.
"Luis!!"
Anne screamed loudly when she saw the figure of Louis standing not far from her, Without thinking, Anne then ran to the assistant of her late grandfather, who was now smiling warmly at her. Several maids who didn't know Luis looked a little confused when they saw the madam was running towards the man who was almost the same height as the master.
"Don't run, Madam. You have to maintain your dignity in front of the maids," said Luis quietly when Anne was in front of him.
Anne, who was holding her breath after running, just smiled at Luis' words. After a while, she finally could breathe calmly and immediately grabbed Luis' hand, which now looked even more wrinkled. How could this man grow old so quickly, after Anne had not seen him in three years? How strange.
"When did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me first? Who did you come with? How are Noah and the others doing? Are you well? Why are you getting older, Luis?"
Anne threw a barrage of questions at Luis, who now only smiled. The man had purposely wait until Anne finish all her words. After she arrived at her last question, Luis just started to open his mouth.
"How can I speak when you keep asking me questions like that, Madam?"
Anne chuckled amused at her mistake. "Sorry, I got too excited."
Louis smiled. "You haven't changed. You're still the same as before, cheerful and full of energy. If the old master was still around, he would be very happy right now."
The smile on Anne's face disappeared instantly when Luis mentioned David, her late grandfather, because not long after Grandpa David passed away, she left the house because of her big fight with Jack.
"Grandpa must be happier in his new home, Luis." Anne tried to be wise when answering Luis' words, although her eyes couldn't lie that she also missed the kind grandfather very much.
"Yes, you are right, Madam. Oh yes, where is my little young master?" Luis asked quickly when he remembered Christian's whereabouts.
"Jack brought him into the office, he wanted to show off his son to all the staff."
Luis immediately clenched his fists. "It can't be allowed. How could Master take little young master to the office? Wouldn't that make little young master uncomfortable in a strange environment, especially since he has to be far away from his mother?"
Anne smiled. "There's Erick and Nicholas helping Jack look after Christian, so you don't have to worry, Luis."
"No, Madam, those are two different things. Little young master is still very vulnerable to be taken to the office. There are a lot of people that we don't know. We also don't know what viruses and germs these people carried from the streets or from their homes. I can't be quiet and let this slide. We'd better pick up little young master now and bring him home, Madam."
Luis' words made Anne frown. She felt that what Luis said was true. What's more, Christian had never met too many strangers at one time. Anne's face immediately changed. She was suddenly worried about her beloved son who had just been taken away from her.
"But if I forced Christian to be taken from the office, wouldn't Jack be mad?"
Luis glared at Anne. "You are the mother, you have far more rights than Master. Moreover, this is concerning the safety of the little young master, so we had better act quickly, Madam."
"Okay, wait for me. I'll be ready."
After saying that, Anne then hurriedly left Luis to her room which was on the second floor. She didn't care about the number of stairs she had to go through when she got to her room. What's on her mind right now was to go and pick up Christian from the office immediately. She didn't something bad to happen to Christian.
Arriving at her room, she immediately changed into clothes that she thought were appropriate to go to the office. She also did her face a little using light make-up. By adding lipstick on the lips, Anne looked completely different. She looked very beautiful and elegant. Her makeup was enhancing her already beautiful appearance with the knee-length dress in peach color which had a ribbon collar that makes her very elegant. The dress that Anne was wearing looked harmonious with the rose gold necklace that had been attached to her neck, the pendant with the letter C which was Christian's initials was now clearly visible. After spraying her favorite vanilla scent, Anne rushed down to Luis with a white clutch that matched the high heels she was wearing.
Luis smiled when he saw the madam starting to descend the stairs. Without being ordered, Luis then approached Anne to help her down the stairs. Luis reached out his hand to Anne with a smile.
"Thank you, Louis."
"This is my job, Madam."
Anne smiled. She then spoke to the maids to introduce Luis to all of the maids. The reason was that Luis had never come to Switzerland. He chose to be busy taking care of the big house left by David Clarke while Jack was in Switzerland.
"Welcome, Luis." About twenty maids greeted Luis politely. Luis refused to be called by any name. He was still the same as before, more comfortable if called by his name.
"Nice to meet all of you, please cooperate and please pay attention to your respective works. Remember, serving a family is not just a job but a calling, so I ask for your sincerity while working in this house," said Luis slowly, giving a little input to the maids standing in front of him.
"Yes, sir, we understand."
"Very well, then you may return to your respective jobs. After Madame and I return from the office, I would like to speak to all of you."
The maids nodded their heads in response to Luis' words. Before long, they then returned to work, leaving Anne and Luis.
"You haven't changed, Luis," said Anne quietly, commenting on what Luis had just done.
"I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do, Madam. I have to make sure the workers in this house don't have any ill will towards you and your family, because my main duty is to look after the heirs of the Clarke family according to the orders given by the late Master while he was still alive." said Luis firmly.
Anne smiled again. She knew that Luis was like this because of his grandfather's orders. Because of that, Anne did not forbid what Luis did. Because the car that would take them to Muller Finance International was ready, finally Luis invited Anne to leave immediately. They had to get to the office soon to bring back Christian, the multi-millionaire baby who is now the center of everyone's attention. Christian would be the heir to the big companies owned by his father and his late great-grandfather in Luxembourg. Therefore, Luis must make sure that no bad person intended to harm this handsome baby who was already very famous in Luxembourg.
