Chapter 488 - Roger's Disruption
Even though he tried his best to tease Anne, Alan's efforts were in vain, because Anne ignored him. After slicing the meat for Alan, Anne then placed the meat on her own plate and ate it voraciously. Every now and then, she glanced at her husband who only played with his fork on the plate. He was annoyed at the two waitresses who were now standing right behind him, so he couldn't play with Anne anymore.
Until the dinner was over, Alan still hadn't really eaten the delicious food on his plate, while Anne, who really liked meat, didn't waste the opportunity. She and Linda even shared different types of meat, which made Mr. David Clarke, who saw the two girls' behavior, smile.
"Miss Linda seems to be really sincere to Miss Anne, sir," said Luis quietly. Of all Mr. David Clarke's staffs, only Luis who still called Anne as Miss Anne, and that was because, for him, the late Mrs. Yolanda Clarke was the only person who deserved to be called Madam.
Mr. David Clarke smiled. "Yeah, at least there's someone Anne can trust to share her ups and downs with."
Luis nodded his head. He then continued to enjoy his meal, like the others who were still busy with the delicious dishes that were being served one after another on their table. Finally, an hour had passed, and they had enjoyed almost all of the delicious dishes.
While sitting relaxing on the balcony of the restaurant in Shangri-La Hotel The Shard London, Nicholas' phone suddenly vibrated. He quickly checked his cell phone and was surprised when it was connected to one of his subordinates. And it wasn't only Nicholas who took the call, Luis did the same. He was also seen talking seriously with someone on the phone, and occasionally he would nod his head expressionlessly. After finished talking on the phone, Nicholas immediately went to Alan, who was sitting on the sofa with Anne.
"What's wrong Nick?" Alan asked curiously.
Instead of directly answering his master's question, Nicholas approached Alan's ear and whispered the news he had just heard from his men in Luxembourg. Alan's face had changed drastically.
Alan looked around, looking at Luis who was just talking to his grandfather. A small nod from Luis made Alan sure that Luis had also heard the news that Nicholas had just reported to him.
"Follow me, Anne," said Alan suddenly, standing up.
Anne, who was talking to Linda, was surprised. "Where are we going? W-we just had dinner, Alan." She had misinterpreted the invitation from Alan. She thought that Alan would ask her to make love right now, as Alan told her a while ago when they had just finished dinner.
"We're going home. I have important things to take care of right now," Alan answered briefly.
Anne looked at Alan in confusion. She still didn't understand what her husband was trying to say, until finally Mr. David Clarke spoke and then Anne understood.
"But shouldn't I be staying in London for a few days, Grandpa?" protested Anne softly.
"After Alan's business is over, you can return to London, Alan won't stop you. I guarantee that."
"Do you mean it?"
"Yes dear. Now you come home with me first. Luis, all your men will come with me and Erick along with The Warriors will stay here to take care of Grandpa," Alan immediately interrupted Anne's words.
"Yes, Young Master, I take full responsibility for the big master," replied Luis quickly.
"Good! See you in Luxembourg."
The second when Alan mentioned the word Luxembourg, he immediately walked quickly out of the Shangri-La Hotel at The Shard London restaurant while gripping Anne's hand followed by Nicholas and all of Luis' best men. They went straight to the elevator to go up to the highest floor so they could access the hotel's rooftop. . In the elevator, there was no conversation at all between Anne and Alan, only the voice of Nicholas, who was talking to the pilot of Alan's private jet to get ready. As soon as they arrived on the highest floor of the hotel, Alan immediately rushed out of the elevator and walked quickly to the helipad to immediately board the hotel's helicopter which was ready to take them to the airport.
"Let's go ..."
"Wait... my passport, clothes and ..."
"Nicholas will take care of it. He will take the second helicopter with your personal belongings. I'm not that stupid as to bring you home without passport, Anne," Alan said, quickly cutting Anne's words.
Anne immediately covered her mouth. She then got on board the helicopter obediently and sat right next to Alan who had just boarded, followed by Nicholas and Luis' two bodyguards. As soon as the door closed, Alan then fastened his seat belt after putting on the headphone to protect his ears and checked the seat belt that Anne had just put on herself.
"I can do it, Alan," sighed Anne, holding back her annoyance because she felt her ability was always doubted by Alan.
"Just want to make sure."
"I'm not a child," Anne snorted quickly.
Alan smiled. He then looked sharply at Anne's eyes, which were very close to him at the moment. "Indeed, but soon there will be a little baby growing here. So your safety must be prioritized," he said softly with a warm breath while touching Anne's stomach.
Anne's heart was racing. She immediately realized that she couldn't get pregnant before Jack's memory returned. Because of that, Anne quickly pushed Alan's body away from him.
"Sit down. This helicopter is about to fly." Anne tried to divert the conversation.
Alan chuckled. "You're my wife, Anne. Why should you be ashamed to talk about something like this?"
"Alan..."
"Okay, sorry. Okay, I'll keep my mouth shut now," said Alan quickly as he raised his hands in the air when he saw the flash of anger emanating from Anne's beautiful eyes.
Anne took a deep breath, relieved that finally Alan could calm down. But the tension came back when the pilot started the helicopter's engine. She grabbed Alan's arm reflexively. She had never flown on a helicopter before, and this was her first experience, which was why she was afraid. However, her fear disappeared when the helicopter managed to fly beautifully in the London sky and headed towards the airport. London looked beautiful from the air. The lights from the houses made the city even more beautiful. Alan's smile broke when he saw Anne looking down in awe.
"What happened in Luxembourg?" asked Anne suddenly, breaking the silence when they had been on the air for 5 minutes.
"I don't want to talk about it now," Alan replied curtly.
Anne immediately turned her gaze and turned to Alan, who was staring at her sharply. "I have every right to know why you brought me home when I still wanted to be with Linda."
"Roger Douglas, that bastard is trying to mess up the jewelry show preparations which are supposed to be held in two days."
"What...? Roger Douglas who..."
"Yeah, how many Roger Douglas do I know in this world? That bastard is trying to sabotage the mall where the exhibition is going to be held. I don't know how that bastard knew that Clarke's Jewel will be doing an exhibition there."
Anne grabbed Alan's fingers and held it tightly. "It's okay, everything will be fine."
"As long as you're beside me, no matter how big the hurricane is, I'm ready to face it, Anne," he said hoarsely with a look that Anne could understand.
The jet plane...! Oh my God...!
