Chapter 457 - Starting To Heat Up

Since Erick entered the house, Nicholas did not take his eyes off of Erick, who was now sitting in front of Alan, together with his girlfriend. Nicholas did not like Erick because he had bravely offered to work as Alan\'s assistant. Yet he was clearly Alan Knight Clarke\'s only assistant, all these years.

"Aren\'t you the CEO, Mr. Maguire? How could you be my assistant?" Alan said softly with a smile.

"I\'m only a temporary CEO, sir, later on when my master returns, I will return the position to him," Erick answered honestly.

"Temporary CEO?"

"Yes sir," Erick answered briefly with a smile.

"Where is the ..."

"Alice, come on." Anne suddenly appeared from the stairs interrupting Alan\'s conversation.

Alice, who was sitting down, immediately stood up because she was called by Anne. She couldn\'t wait to leave the room, because she felt uncomfortable with Alan, who kept asking questions repeatedly about Erick. Alice felt like she was being interrogated by Alan.

"Where are you going?" Alan asked quickly to Anne, who was now standing beside him.

"To my room, I want to take Alice to her room on the second floor," replied Anne excitedly.

"Wait? Are they going to live here with us?" asked Alan surprised.

Anne smiled widely. "Yes, they will stay in this house while in Luxembourg."

"Why? They have money. They can afford to stay at a hotel, Anne. After all, this house is not a shelter, and again, you have to ask my grandfather for permission. I\'m sure Grandfather would not agree if strangers stay in this house like this. Wait for Grandfather and Luis to come back. After that, you can ask permission from him," said Alan curtly, trying to warn Anne not to do things on her own.

"I\'ve asked Grandpa, and Grandpa permits them to stay here. If you don\'t believe me, just ask Noah. When I asked Grandpa yesterday, Noah was there." Anne immediately answered quickly.

"Noah..."

"That\'s right, Young Master. When Madam asked for permission, I was by the big master\'s side." Noah, who happened to be standing not far from where Alan was sitting, immediately answered quickly.

Alan turned to Noah and glared at him. He was very annoyed at Noah, who was supporting Anne. In fact, he wanted to threaten Noah not to speak the truth, but he hadn\'t had the chance to give him a code when Noah suddenly spoke. So now Alan had no reason to refuse his wife\'s two guests to stay at his grandfather\'s big house.

"Well, if Grandpa really allows you, then I can\'t do much," said Alan flatly.

Anne smiled widely at Alan\'s words. She quickly grabbed Alice\'s hand and led her up to the second floor. Seeing Anne went straight to the second floor, Alan slowly got up from the sofa and intended to follow Anne, but Erick suddenly wanted to take his hand. Luckily, Nicholas was immediately alert, so Erick couldn\'t touch Alan.

"Keep your decency here, Master is a person who can\'t be touched like that," Nicholas fiercely snapped.

"What\'s wrong?" Alan asked in confusion.

Nicholas immediately let go of Erick\'s hand and stood up straight looking at his master who was looking at him in confusion. "It\'s okay, sir, I just want to familiarize myself with our guest, sir."

"Oh, I see, then you accompany Erick. I want to follow my wife upstairs," said Alan quietly.

"Yes sir."

Alan smiled at Nicholas\' words. Slowly, he patted his assistant\'s shoulder and rushed up to the second floor to catch up with Anne. He had many things he wanted to talk about with Anne regarding her two guests who had just arrived today. Alan felt a little suspicious of Anne. He still couldn\'t accept Anne\'s reasoning that she wanted to repay the kindness of the two people who had helped her on the Camp North Tour a few days ago. Alan felt that Anne already had a relationship with the two people, so he wanted to confirm this directly with Anne.

"Tell me, what do you really want?" Nicholas snapped in a rising voice at Erick when Alan was no longer in the room.

Eric pursed his lips. "What do you mean? I don\'t understand."

"Don\'t pretend, I know what kind of people you are, Mr Maguire. There is one thing you must remember carefully, as long as I am alive, I will not allow anyone to harm my Master or take advantage of his kindness. I will do everything possible to protect my master, so you don\'t mess with Mr. Alan, because you don\'t know how crazy I am," Nicholas replied in a rising voice, his eyes glaring at Erick full of hostility.

Erick smiled at Nicholas\' words. He then stepped closer to Nicholas. "I also have a Master I serve, Nick, you don\'t have to worry. I came here precisely because I was waiting for my Master, so you can take it easy. I\'m not doing anything."

"Whatever! Whether you\'re doing this for your master or yourself, what\'s obvious is don\'t ever dream of being able to take over my position. I\'m the only assistant for the young master," Nicholas said curtly. He was sure that Erick had other intentions and goals in coming to Luxembourg.

Erick chuckled when he heard Nicholas\' words. When Erick was about to open his mouth to respond to Nicholas\' words, suddenly Mr. David Clarke, who was sitting in a wheelchair came with Luis who pushed him from behind. The big master apparently had returned from Doctor Leo\'s place. Seeing the master had arrived Noah immediately approached his master quickly.

"Welcome, sir," Noah greeted politely.

"Are there guests?" asked Mr. David Clarke curiously.

"Yes sir. There are two people coming. They are the couple who have helped Miss Anne in Norway a few days ago, sir," Noah answered quietly in a voice only Luis and Mr. David Clarke could hear.

"A couple has helped my granddaughter-in-law?"

"That\'s right sir, they are..."

"I\'m Erick Maguire, the interim CEO of Muller Finance International, sir. I came here because I received an invitation from Mrs. Clarke who wanted to show the beauty of Luxembourg to me and my girlfriend," said Erick, quickly cutting Noah\'s words.

Luis and Mr. David Clarke were silent. Hearing the name Muller Finance International made the two of them immediately glared at Erick.

"So you came at the invitation of my granddaughter-in-law?" asked Mr. David Clarke quietly, trying to remain calm.

"That\'s right, sir."

Mr. David Clarke then gave the code to Luis. Luis, who understood the code from his master, then approached Erick.

"I\'m Luis Cobb, Mr. David Clarke\'s assistant. Nice to meet you, Mr. Maguire," Luis said quietly as he extended his hand towards Erick.

Erick immediately accepted Luis\'s outstretched hand. "I am also very pleased to be able to visit Luxembourg and meet Mr. Clarke and you too, Mr. Luis."

"Call me Luis. I\'m not used to being called Master. I\'m just a servant in this house."

"Okat, then just call me by the name, just Erick. I\'m also just a servant who is trying to do the best for his master," Erick said with a big smile.

Luis smiled at Erick\'s words. Because Anne had notified him of Erick and Alice\'s arrival, the former special police officer did not say much. Likewise with Mr. David Clarke, he had allowed Anne to do what she wanted for the good of his grandson, including calling the people closest to his grandson in the past.

"Come with me, Erick. We have a lot to talk about," said Luis quietly.

"Okay Luis, I understand," replied Erick politely.

After saying that, Luis then walked back to Mr. David Clarke and pushed him away towards the garden, where they used to chat about all important matters. Seeing Erick went after Luis and Mr. David Clarke, Nicholas\' jealousy grew. He was increasingly afraid that his position as Alan Knight Clarke\'s assistant was replaced by Erick.

"Young master is mine. No one can take him as my master, including that damn Erick," Nicholas said to himself.
