Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

"All the rules that Elena gave me bored me. I just do the same thing every day over and over again, as if I'm not free to do anything," Anna said in one breath.

"And then?

"Give me some freedom, just a little bit."

"No."

"Oh come on. I'm not going anywhere anyway. I love my son, I don't want him to get hurt, so there's no way I can do something you don't like," Anna whined, in her heart, she felt disgusted with herself for speaking like this to the man.

"If you still love your son, you must obey the rules, Anna."

"Come on dear." Already, it felt like at this moment Anna wanted to drown herself for saying such a cursed word.

Brian chuckled at Anna's words.

"What do you want?"

"Can I go out with Dave once in a while? We're bored in this house."

"No."

"Come on, just once, you can ask Carlos or anyone to follow us wherever we go if you don't believe me" Anna whined once again.

There was no answer from the other side.

"It's OK right?"

"Okay, but you can't go out with your son," Brian said again.

Anna was silent for a moment. "B-but...."

"If you don't agree, that's fine. You and your son stay in the Mansion," Brian interrupted immediately.

"What are you going out for anyway, I've got everything you need."

"I'm just bored, understand."

"That's all I can give you, the rest if you mind..."

"A-alright. I agree. Thank you," said Anna immediately cutting Brian's words.

"Erm, it's fine as long as you do what I say."

"Ah, I almost forgot to tell you why I called you, honey," Brian added.

"What was it about?"

"Regarding your job, I've had my people take care of it. You don't have to think about it anymore," Brian replied.

Anna froze, sometimes she forgot about her work. Earlier she wanted to ask the man for permission to go to the office. Only, since Brian had already brought it up and said it, she didn't have to worry anymore, then she would have complied.

Anna suddenly became curious, how would Devan respond when he found out that she was no longer working?

"Honey... do you hear me?"

"Have you slept?"

Suddenly Anna's thoughts were interrupted.

"A-ah yes, I'm sorry," Anna stuttered when she heard Brian who was still talking to her.

"What did you say?" Anna repeated.

"Looks like you're already sleepy, honey. Alright, then that's it, I'll call you back later. Remember not to sleep too late," said Brian warning his wife.

"A-alright."

"Okay, Good night."

Tut...

Anna immediately ended the call without replying to the man's words.

She immediately threw her body onto the bed, staring at the ceiling, trying to unravel one by one the contents of her thoughts that were jostling with each other.

Brian had permitted her to leave the mansion, and so had Dave. The only problem here is that they are not allowed to exit at the same time.

Anna racked her brains, trying to find a way out of her impasse.

"Should I just tell Naila everything?" Anna muttered in a dilemma because it seemed impossible for her to escape from this mansion without telling the girl what had happened.

Lost in the chaos of her thoughts, Anna fell asleep without her noticing.

***

The next day. The sound of the clock ticking filled the room, making Anna, who was still wrapped in a blanket, squirm slowly.

Her eyelids slowly opened, the lighting in the room was still the same as before. Usually, Elena would wake her up by throwing the curtains wide open.

Glancing at the clock on her right, it was now seven in the morning.

It's still very early in the morning.

Anna then slowly got out of bed, opened the window blinds, immediately the light raced into the room.

Anna decided to take a shower.

She had to finish her ritual in the bathroom before Elena and the maids arrived.

Anna wants to take a bath alone, she doesn't like it when someone else is in the same bathroom as her, even if it's a girl.

Not to mention soap, scrub, and the like she must use in an amount that is very unnatural for her.

Anna felt embarrassed. She thought it was a waste of time.

What she usually only takes a bath time of at most five minutes can now take up to half or even an hour.

Even though she had only been living in the mansion for a few days and had been treated like that, she was already feeling very upset.

After bathing, Anna immediately chose a dress that might fit her body and put it on.

Knock...knock...knock...

Elena entered the room without waiting for Anna's response. She thought that maybe Mrs. Anna was still asleep.

"Shouldn't you wait for me to let you in first?" Anna's voice was heard and managed to make Elena's steps slow down, looking for the source of the sound, she found Mrs. Anna who had woken up.

"Ah, my apologies, madam. I thought Madam was still sleeping," replied Elena with her head down.

"Lucky I had clothes on, otherwise you might have seen me naked."

"I'm sorry again, madam," said Elena, bowing apologetically.

"Um, forget it."

"I've taken a shower, I've also changed my clothes to new ones, so you and the maids don't need to help me anymore," said Anna with the tip of her chin pointing at the several women standing behind Elena.

"Eh?" Elena immediately raised her gaze, glanced at Anna, and then lowered her gaze again…a little.

"Next time, you can't do it yourself, madam. That the rules are.."

"Rules are written on paper?" cut Anna while continuing Elena's words.

"Never mind, stop doing useless things and wasting time. I can take a shower myself. Didn't I?" added Anna again.

"Okay madam, it's up to you. Tomorrow I will come earlier than today. You are not allowed to protest, because this is my duty, madam. Hope you understand," replied Elena.

"Hhhh. it's up to you."

"Then it's time for your breakfast madam."

"Could you just take my breakfast to my son's room? I'd like to have breakfast with them," Anna asked.

"Okay, madam. I'll ask some maids to take it there," replied Elena.

"Thank you," Anna said and got up from her position. She wanted to go to Dave's room. Hopefully, Naila and her son have woken up.

"Where are you going madam?" asked Elena again and managed to stop Anna's movements.

"Huh?"

"Your hair is still wet."

"So? Where's the problem?"

"Let the Maids help you dry it," replied Elena.

"No need, it will dry itself later.
