Chapter 422 - Escape
Due to the charity event that took place in the building not far from the camp site, Alan had not been able to do his will to Anne, even though he was impatient but he still tried to restrain himself. Alan did not want anyone to disturb his intimacy with Anne, including the sound of cars from the businessmen who were present at the event. That was why he chose to talk with the tour guide who previously had helped him find his campsite.
"Honestly, Mr. Clarke, I can't do anything about this myself. The charity event was initiated by Mr. Antonio Jared who is a well-known businessman in this city. He is also famous for his kindness to others. That's why when he wanted to use this place as a place for charity event, we can't do anything. Once again, I apologize for your inconvenience, Mr. Clarke," said the tour guide, apologizing again to Alan.
"It's okay. Don't worry about it. It's beyond your control, Madam," Alan replied softly.
"But calm down, sir, after this event is over, everything will return to normal. So when you enjoy the aurora later on with Madam, you won't be disturbed."
"I hope so," Alan answered quickly, full of hope. As he spoke, he turned to Anne, who was still standing looking around the camp.
Soon, the tour guide excused herself to pick up other guests. Because the camp tour was limited, the manager hired a tour guide to guide the guests who would stay, and escort them to their respective rooms. In addition to the convenience of the guests, this was also to prevent illegal guests, who had no right to stay, to suddenly barge in. That was why every night, the guests who would stay overnight must be guided by a tour guide, just like tonight.
"Come on in. How long are you going to stand outside like this?" Alan asked suddenly, breaking Anne's thoughts.
Luckily, Anne was concentrating so she wasn't nervous when Alan spoke to her like that. "I still want to be outside, the sky is beautiful."
"You can see everything from inside the camp very comfortably too," Alan answered quickly.
Anne looked into Alan's eyes intently. "I still want to be outside," she said again, refusing Alan's invitation to enter the tent.
Alan clenched his jaw. His patience was really being tested every time he was together with Anne
"Okay, but not more than ten minutes. After that you're coming in, like it or not."
"Yes, I understand, thank you."
Alan ignored Anne's words. In his heart, he cursed Anne, who dared to delay his invitation to make love. His determination to make Anne regret was even greater. In his heart, he vowed to make Anne groan loudly under his body. After taking a deep breath, Alan then entered the tent. He assigned Nicholas and his men to keep an eye on Anne while he was in the tent.
Anne's eyes flashed with enthusiasm when she saw Alan enter the tent. Although at the moment she was still being watched by Nicholas and the four bodyguards, Anne felt a little relieved. At least, the main monster was no longer around. Now she racked her brains so she could sneak away from Nicholas and the bodyguards.
"You're staying here too?" Anne asked Nicholas quietly.
"Yes Ma'am, but our camp is quite far from this tent. So you don't have to worry, we won't disturb you both tonight," Nicholas answered quickly.
Damn it!
Anne cursed in her heart after hearing Nicholas' words, she did not understand why Nicholas and the bodyguards were also invited to stay at the camp. Her plan to escape is even more difficult because of the presence of Nicholas and the other bodyguards, Anne is like a rabbit being watched by 5 guard lions right now.
"Don't you want to go into the tent, Madam? The master is waiting for you," Nicholas said quietly.
"Later, I still want to enjoy the air outside."
"You will be more comfortable if you enjoy the aurora with the master in the tent, Madam." Nicholas added his words again.
Anne waved her hand in front of his face. "I want to feel freedom. Being near your master constantly makes me suffocate."
"But you two are legal husband and wife, you should..."
Nicholas did not finish his sentence when he saw Anne's sharp gaze that seemed to be swallowing him alive. The man slowly stepped back away from Anne. The rest of the bodyguards followed what Nicholas did. Dealing with an angry woman was a very bad idea.
After seeing Nicholas walked away, Anne took a deep breath. She was really annoyed by the men who had been around her for the past few days. While she was trying to fill her lungs with new oxygen, Anne's eyes suddenly turned toward the suddenly bustling arts building. The charity event being held there seemed to have ended.
"I want to see the other side of the camp," said Anne suddenly, tying her hair in a ponytail.
"I'm going with you, Madam."
Anne raised her hand forward. "I can do it myself."
"But Madam..."
"I won't run away, believe me. Don't be afraid, I just want to know how this camp site was built. That's all," said Anne quickly.
Nicholas took a deep breath. He then allowed Anne to go around the tent alone as she wished. After getting approval from Nicholas, Anne did not wait long. She immediately rushed to the other side of the tent past Nicholas and the bodyguards, who were standing staring at her without blinking.
"I'll just be around the tent," said Anne again, urging the bodyguards not to follow her.
The bodyguards nodded their heads in unison in response to her words. They didn't want to get into trouble with the madam. At first, Anne was just walking around the tent. She was watching the tent while looking for an opening to escape. Although Anne's eyes seemed to be focused on the tent, but the corners of her eyes were still looking for another way to get away from that place. Her goal this time was the crowd in the arts building not far from where she was now. Anne felt the crowd in the arts building was the only way for her to escape at this point.
Anne's hope suddenly came when she saw several people passing behind the tent to the path that connected the road to the arts building. Instantly, Anne rushed to follow the people while walking quickly on her left so as not to be seen by Nicholas and the bodyguards, who were still standing in front of the tent.
When she made it to the courtyard of the arts building, Anne immediately slipped among the crowds. She was the only person dressed casually for the place. Luckily, Anne had a beautiful face, so no one chased her away. Anne kept walking, mingling among the people to see if any of them were going to England. It wasn't clear what's going on in Anne's mind right now, her goal was to get out of Norway no matter what.
"Anne, Miss Anne, stop!!"
