"Finally, I'm here!" Eric mumbled to himself as soon as he came out of the airplane.
Jack is already waiting for his boss with the driver at the airport. He comes half an hour before the time to be there on time when Eric arrives.
When he saw Eric entering the entrance and now turning towards them with his guard where he and the drivers stood, he shortly walked with the driver towards him and at the same time.
"Welcome Back Boss!" Jack welcomed him, while the driver took the suitcase from the guard's hand who was just behind Eric, holding his luggage in his hand.
"Boss, this way!" Jack showed the way towards car parking.
Eric walked first while Jack and others followed him behind.
As soon as they went to the car parking, Jack opened the car's back door for Eric.
Eric got in the car and asked Jack to meet him the next morning at his house.
Jack nodded and said, "Yes Boss!"
The driver put the luggage in the car and then rushed to the driver's seat.
Soon the car started to go back home, while Eric thought to check on his phone as it was in airplane mode all the flight time. And he didn't get the chance to watch home footage.

"Hey! Stop there!" As soon as Angela walked toward the main iron gate, one of the guards immediately came behind her and stopped her with a strict voice.
Angela felt her body shudder with nervousness at this moment. Her heart thumping fast while she doesn't want him to recognize her by any chance. She adjusted her mask before turning to him nervously.
Guard checked on her from head to toe and recognized her uniform as a home servant.
Only then did he raise a question.
"Hey girl, Where are you going late at night? And why do you cover your face like this?" The guard looked at her with a strict gaze while his words made her heart nervous. However, still, she responded in a calm tone as well as she could in this difficult situation.
"S-Sir, I'm going back home as my duty is over and I caught a cold. That's why madam told me to wear a mask when I come to work, so, because of my coldness, no one could get infected! That's why I'm wearing it!"
The guard nodded but still didn't tell her to leave or on the other side, he ordered her to open the mask the next moment.
"W-What?" Angela asked in a shivering tone.
"I said open your mask and let me see your face!" The guard's eyes are full of sharpness.
Angela felt she can't run anymore. If he saw her face. And if Eric knew about her trying to run again she doesn't know what punishment he got for her. She can't risk anymore.
'No. It can't happen.' She shouted inside her brain. While the guard got irritated to see her taking so much time to show her face and at the same time he felt a little suspicious of her.
"What makes you so long to show your face? Just open the mask! I want to see your face!" The guard's forehead creased while he shouted angrily.
Angela can't let herself fail like this, so she tried to show a weak act while starting sobbing," Sir, please let me go! My mom's health is not so good. I need to take her to the hospital with me or else she can die if I get there late!"
The guard gets annoyed to hear her suddenly sobbing.
"Hey! Stop crying! I'm just asking you to show your face and then leave. Why are you wasting your time on talking if your mom is ill? Just show your face and go! I'm not going to make you stay here!" The Guard angrily yelled, feeling the girl is annoying in front of him.
Angela felt she lost her chance as she can't avoid him anymore. If she tried to make more chaos. He will definitely pull the mask on his own and she doesn't want that so, the next moment, her hands trembling moved to her face, and held her mask.
The Guard's eyes coldly gaze at her and wait to see her face.
Angela looked around before she slipped her mask slightly but before she could pull it completely the other guard's voice made her stop removing her mask and her eyes moved to see the other guard who was coming toward them.
The guard who ordered her to remove the mask, he also turned to look at the other guard.
Angela got this chance to slip the mask again perfectly.
While as soon as The other guard came in front of them asked in a normal tone.
"What are you doing here?" His eyes move from guard to Angela.
"Nothing big! This maid was wearing a mask and I just wanted her to show her face but she started crying because she needed to run home to save her mom whose health had gone wrong and she needed to go to the hospital at the right time with her." Hearing the guard's words, the other guard watched Angela with silent eyes.
While Angela silently prays within her heart that they let her go and don't remove her mask. This is the only chance she got.
"You can go!" Suddenly the other guard's words made another man arch his brows.
"What are you saying?" He angrily said.
"Hey, we can't waste our time on a maid! Don't forget we need to watch the house and you are standing here losing your position for a long time. What if something happens at this moment?"
The man fell silent as he knew, his friend saying right.
Angela patiently waited to hear yes from the other one and finally, she got that next moment.
"Alright! You go girl!" As soon as he said that, Angela acted to look teary and thanked them before leaving from the iron gate immediately.
Angela didn't turn back until she was a few meters away from the house.
As this mansion is far from the main road. She needed to run before she got caught in mid-way. As in the night, she can't get any vehicle. All her escaping depends on her legs.
