Chapter 17 - Ma'am

"I won't be able to rest." Kelly said. 'how could I possibly rest or calm down without knowing where Anna is' she thought, and shook her head again when she saw that Toby is about to ask her to rest again.

Toby could only sighed and give up, he can't do anything to change her mind right now.

They went to the Toby's car as Toby drove them away. He took his phone and call some people to look for Anna. When he turned to his side he found Kelly is already asleep in the passenger seat.

"Such a stubborn girl" Toby muured and shook his head a little. He then adjusted the seat so that Kelly can sleep comfortably.

Kelly groaned a little in her sleep and murdered something. Toby looked at her and saw her sleeping peacefully, he then sighed and lean his head on the chair.

Sean is sitting on a massive chair in his study room. The room is big and had a dull colour paint. Their is a big shelf with lots of books and files on it. The study is huge and we'll decorated in an exquisite way.

"Here are the files you asked for" Ren said as he handed Sean a file.

Sean hummed and collected the file, he opened it and go through it. "Anything else?" Sean asked, his voice cold and domineering.

"Miss Hart, the current project manager of the Hart group is the one who sprayed the rumors" Ren gulped and reported his findings.

Sean's expression darkened and the room dropped in temperature as it became dark and suddenly cold.

Ren felt his body trembling a little from the dangerous aura that his boss is giving out, but he composed his self and waited for his boss's order. 'It seems like the Hart group are in trouble' he thought and felt a little pity for them.

Sean smirked and said nothing for a while. "No one should work with them for a while, I want to destroy them slowly" Sean finally said in a deadly and ruthless tone.

"Yes sir" Ren said and nodded. He waited silently for his boss next order.

"Investigate the issue of the plagiarism. I want the result tomorrow morning" Sean said again in his commanding tone.

"Yes sir" Ren said.

"You can leave" Sean's commanding voice come again.

Ren nodded, then bowed a little and left. He release a deep breath after coming out of the room, his boss aura is so cold and intimidating that it can freeze one to death.

Sean enveloped his self in his work again after Ren left.

Anna woke up in the morning,she slowly opened her dazed eyes and blinked twice to make her eyes adjust to sunlight peeking through the window.

She woke up after a while and sat down on the bed. The covers on the bed is so soft and it feels nice.

Anna held her head when she felt a slight pain in her head, 'seems like I got a headache' she thought and sig, and then she sneezed twice 'and a cough' she thought.

Anna looked at the massive room and then she realized that she is not in her room. The room is massive with well furnitures, and it is we'll decorated in a perfect and delicate way. Anna couldn't help but admire the room, 'the owner of this house must be rich' she thought.

Anna looked down and saw that she is a wearing a different clothe, which is not even her size. Even though she is in a suspicious situation where anyone would panic she still looks calm.

The dress is a little bit bigger than her size but also comfortable and warm.

She is in her thoughts when she heard a knock on the door, and then the door slightly opened and a maid dressed professionally came in.

The maid seemed a like a middle aged, maybe in her late thirties. She is dressed in a professional dress.

"Good morning Ma'am" the maid greatest and entered the room with a food trolly with her.

Anna blinked her eyes, she is been treated like a princess. Now she wants to know how she ended up here. All she could remember is that she nearly got hit by a car yesterday, and then an unknown man dragged her, he took her to some place and they had some discussions together, with her revealing some of her problems to him.

'He must be the one that brought me here' Anna thought, but she wanted to ask the maid to make sure.

She turn her head around and saw the maid preparing the food on a table across the room. 'I didn't noticed that before' she thought, well, the room is so big and she just looked around while seated on the bed, so she wouldn't noticed it.

"Uhmmm...excuse me." Anna said and stopped. The maid turn and smiled at her,

"Yes ma'am" the maid said.

"Please call me Anna" Anna said, she felt uncomfortable been called ma'am. The maid just smile at her without saying a thing. 'I will take her silence as acceptance then' anna thought. She then held her head again when she felt the slight headache.

"Should I call the doctor ma'am" the maid asked when she saw Anna holding her head slightly.

"No I am fine" Anna said and waved her hand dismissing the maid's thought. "And please don't call me ma'am. Just call me Anna. Anna is my name" Anna said but the maid didn't say a thing again and just smile at her.

"Are you sure, you seem like you are in pain. I can call the doctor if you felt uncomfortable, it's my duty" the maid said again in a nervous and also professional tone.

"No, I am fine, really" Anna said again.

"Are you the one that changed my clothes" Anna asked the maid.

"Yes ma'am" the maid replied.

Anna sighed because she figured out she can't change the way the lady addresses her.
