The Robin Hood Society

Chapter 44 - The New Place

J continued walking towards her apartment. She just visited Diana and Timothy after her shift. She was actually surprised to see Leo not far away from Diana's house.

When she reached her apartment, she was welcomed by Beauty and Beast. Apart from them, the whole place was empty. Jacob must've gone to the hospital while she was in Diana's house.

"Good morning Beast. You've been a good boy huh? How about you Beauty? Are the pups ok?" she talked to the golden retrievers like they were humans.

She headed to her bedroom but she noticed the food on the table. It's been a couple of days since she started her night shift and every time, she got home in the morning Jacob had already prepared her breakfast.

This whole experience is new to her. She can't remember when was the last time someone cooked her breakfast. Her apartment feels more like home in the presence of someone except her. Plus, the addition of the two golden retrievers.

She ate her breakfast then take a shower before she goes to sleep. The two golden retrievers stand guard in the living room.

....

At the Evergreen Villa, Madam Kelly arrived to check out on the house. She was received by Jacob's caretaker.

"How's the villa Lulu?" she asked the old lady.

"Everything's fine Madam Kelly," Lulu replied.

"Mmm... I see." Madam Kelly nodded as she scanned the whole living room. She thought something is strange. Something's missing. She thought for a while then her eyes widened as she remembered something.

"Where are Jacob's dogs? I haven't heard them. Usually, every time I came to visit, I would see one or two of them playing around." Madam Kelly went to the kitchen then at the poolside where the golden retrievers usually stayed.

"Dr. Jacob took them with him, Madam." Lulu casually said.

Madam Kelly shot the old lady with a confused look then asked, "Took them with him? Where?"

"Ah... a couple of days ago I noticed that Beauty is acting odd. So, I called Dr. Jacob thinking that she might be pregnant. Dr. Jacob came and took both of them to the vet and found out that Beauty is pregnant. He called me and said that he will be taking both of them to his new place so he could take care of them." Lulu said while preparing a tea for Madam Kelly.

Madam Kelly who was seating in a chair in the kitchen counter suddenly stand up and asked, "Jacob has a new place?"

"Y-you didn't know Madam?" Lulu asked confusedly.

"Will I be asking you this if I knew? Where did he say his new place is? How come I didn't know about this?" Madam Kelly asked Lulu indignantly.

"I-I have no idea, Madam. I don't have the habit of asking him about his personal business." Lulu was petrified.

Madam Kelly understands Lulu so instead of asking her she got her phone and dialed Jacob's number.

She tried a couple of times but Jacob was not answering his phone. She was pacing back and forth then he decided to call James.

After a couple of ring James finally answered.

"Where is Jacob's new place? Why did he suddenly leave his villa? Where is he? He is not answering his phone." Madam Kelly asks him outrageously.

James was speechless. "M-madam... I think you just ask him yourself."

"I've been calling him but he is not answering my calls!" Madam Kelly is getting pissed off.
