Chapter 937 - Back home with Kitty and Haru (1) (1/2)
~ Los Angeles, Cliffside villa ~
Tuesday afternoon…
Sarah and Aiden reached their home with Jesse, Haru and Kitty.
Gennifer, the main housekeeper, welcomed them. ”Master, Madam… welcome back.”
Sarah felt butterflies in her stomach. No matter how many times staff called her 'Madam' , she can't get used to that. But Aiden insisted because he does not want them to call her 'Miss Hill' , or 'Miss Sarah' with a reasoning that this is their home and they will get married soon, so it will be inconvenient for the staff to change the way they address them when that happens.
Aiden never had a problem with staff calling him 'Master' . He grew up being called 'Second Young Master' , so this is just a bit shorter.
”Hi Genie…”, Sarah greeted her back. ”This is Haru. He will be staying with us from now on. Did you prepare the room for him?”
”Yes, Madam.”, Gennifer confirmed. ”Everything is ready, as instructed.”
Sarah called from the plane and the staff had more than ten hours to make preparations. The room is ready, and they prepared toiletries as well as several changes of clothes.
Gennifer is very professional, she barely showed any shock at the sight of Kitty who was curiously observing surroundings from Sarah's arms.
”Thank you, Genie. Can you make sure that Haru meets the rest of the staff and show him around? He will be part of our permanent security staff so he should familiarize himself with the place.” Sarah turned to Haru when Gennifer acknowledged that she understands the instructions. ”Go and freshen up. Genie and Jesse can help you if you have any questions. You will join us for dinner with Jesse in the main house. There will be few more people you should meet.”
Jesse was not very happy at first with Haru, but during the long flight back, he got a chance to talk to him and see that Haru is not a bad person. Haru likes to say what is on his mind and is naturally curious about everything (to the point of appearing nosy) and that makes him seem rash, but he has good intentions.
Jesse thought how it will be interesting to see how Ade reacts when he meets Haru. Two of them have similar personalities. It will be a competition who can say more, and they could become best friends or biggest rivals… it can go either way. Jesse smiled while thinking that he does not need to wait long. He heard when Sarah and Aiden instructed the staff to prepare rooms because Ade and six others are going to join them tomorrow.
During the flight home, Sarah and Aiden had a good talk with Haru explaining their living arrangements, and he was very happy to become their bodyguard. He thought it sounds flashy.
Haru was fascinated to hear that Sarah and Aiden will test his knowledge in various areas and make sure he gets any education he is missing.
Haru's eyes sparkled when Jesse spoke about the game console and the flight simulator they have available.
Overall, Sarah and Aiden approved of Haru and his enthusiasm. His outgoing personality might get him into trouble, but it will also help him make friends easier.
Back to present…
Scent of freshly baked pastries filled up the first floor above ground. Sarah and Aiden exchanged knowing glances: Felix is in the kitchen! They love his pastries.
Sarah and Aiden were welcomed by Sophia in the family room.
Sophia's 'welcome back' was stuck in her throat at the sight of a black leopard cub in Sarah's hands.
After few seconds, Sophia exhaled and looked at Sarah helplessly. ”Don't tell me that this is Kitty.”
Sarah grinned and nodded.
”You know that I was expecting a kitten?”, Sophia asked Sarah.
