Carlos just gave a faint smile, "Now get up, cold floors are not good for your health, madam."
Hearing that, Anna nodded then slowly rose from her position.
"Thank you, Carlos."
"You're welcome, Madam," the man replied, rising from his position.
"Then wait for me a moment. I want to wash my face first," said Anna then turned and entered her room, the man did not notice the faint smile that appeared on the woman's face.
"Yes, madam," Carlos returned to his upright position, waiting for the woman to reappear. He knew that what he was doing was wrong, but on the other hand, he also felt a little sorry for Mrs. Anna. Maybe once in a while, it wouldn't be a problem, especially since he would always be behind her, and watching her, as well as some of his friends down there hanging around, was what Carlos was thinking at the moment.
The man does not know that what he is doing now is something that will endanger his life tomorrow.
The bedroom door opened again and revealed Anna complete with a cardigan that wrapped her body.
"Come on," said the woman to Carlos, and only the man nodded.
Using the elevator to the first floor, Carlos followed behind Anna without making a sound.
"Madam, where are you going?" Elena suddenly appeared making Anna who was walking casually suddenly startled, stop her steps and turn to the source of the voice.
"Madam wants to take a walk to the park, Elena," Carlos now spoke, ahead of Anna who seemed to want to answer the woman's question.
"To the park? Has Mr. Brian given permission?" asked Elena with one eyebrow raised.
"As far as I know, Mr. Brian doesn't allow you or your son to leave this mansion at the same time, Madam," he added as he looked in the direction where Anna was, only briefly then lowered her gaze.
"Only in Elena's garden, not out the gate," replied Anna.
"But madam..."
"Don't worry Elena, I will take care of Mrs. Don't forget my existence," said Carlos.
"Okay, it's up to you. But if something happens later don't take my name, Carlos. Remember this time, I already warned you and even reminded you," replied Elena.
"Do not worry. I take full responsibility for Mrs. Anna."
Hearing Carlos' words, Elena just nodded.
"Then please madam," said the woman slightly shifting her body.
"Thank you," replied Anna.
Until a few moments later, the first time Anna set foot in the courtyard of the mansion other than on her wedding day the other day, she felt as if her muscles suddenly flexed, even though it was the middle of the day where the sun was shining brightly, but it didn't become a barrier for her. The shady fir trees filled several spots around the garden and that was more than enough to give her a slightly cool sensation.
Along the very thick green grass, Anna took off her footwear.
"Madam..." said Carlos.
"No problem, I just want to know what it's like to set foot on this thick grass," Anna replied with a smile.
Carlos did not respond to the woman's words again, instead, he bent down and grabbed Mrs. Anna's pair of shoes and carried them while silently following.
At that moment, all eyes immediately turned to Anna and Carlos. Sometimes they bow to say hello.
The expanse of green grass is very wide, there are also several spots filled with flowers of different types and colors.
Seeing the empty gazebo right next to the flower garden, Anna suddenly turned her tiny body to face Carlos, looked up, "I want to go there, Carlos," she said, pointing at the empty gazebo earlier.
Anna immediately turned around and walked back leisurely towards the small building that entered her view.
Anna just sat there, leaning casually on the pillars of the small building.
Seeing the woman relax slightly with her eyes closed, Carlos then called Elena and only a few seconds later, two maids walked towards them carrying a glass of cold menuman and some snacks.
"Put it in front, madam," said Carlos commanding.
"Okay."
Anna faintly heard the conversation immediately opened her eyelids, and already found some snacks that filled the mini table in front of her, as well as a glass of avocado juice that smelled so delicious tickled her senses.
"Please, Madame," said the Maid then took a step back, "I'm sorry," she added again then turned and walked away from there.
Anna just stared at the place, seeing the Maid suddenly appear in front of her until it disappeared again from her sight.
"I asked it for you madam, so you don't get bored," said Carlos again. The man's position was still standing straight outside the gazebo.
"Oh, then thank you, Carlos," Anna said then tasted the drink in front of her.
"You come in and sit here," she added, placing the glass in her hand on the table.
"It's hot in there."
"No problem, madam. I'll just be here," Carlos replied.
Hearing that, Anna took a deep breath, "It's up to you."
Leaning back on the gazebo pole, the woman's eyes filled everything that reached her sight. From her position, she could see the window of the room where she used to stand.
Silent for a few minutes, Anna was busy with her thoughts. Think of a way to get out of this yard without being caught by the bodyguard.
"Is something bothering you, madam?" Carlos asked suddenly and managed to break Anna's focus. No one knows how many times Carlos heard the woman sigh harshly, making him wonder.
"Ah, nothing. I just miss my son. I don't know, even though she just left a few hours ago," Anna replied.
"Ah yes, Carlos can I ask you something?" Anna asked again suddenly turning her gaze to the man.
"Please, madam."
"Where did Brian go? How come it took so long?" She asked.
"Why do you ask such a question, madam?"
"Yes, because I feel unnatural. He married me and then left me without giving any news, just a myriad of rules that make me feel sick," replied Anna in one breath.
"Don't the newlyweds usually spend more time alone together?" she added again.
"Mr. Brian is busy madam. You have to be patient."
"What is he doing now? I mean is it something more important than me?"
Carlos was silent hearing Anna's sentence as at a loss for words, he did not have the right sentence for the woman's question. Because it's not his right to assess what is and isn't important to Mr. Brian.
Seeing the silence of the man, Anna took a deep breath, "Ah forget it," she said to Carlos then looked around.
"Since the first time, I came here, I could only see the garden from up there, behind my bedroom window.. At first, I was surprised and confused by the number of men hanging around the Mansion, but as the days go by I feel more and more used to it, is this mansion always guarded like this?" Anna said pleasantly, ending with a question.C
