Hollywood Zenith

" Young master, I know that you don't care what others think but too much personal display of affection could hurt your image." Amanda commented. Three of them were riding back home from the Ranch.

" Is that so?"

" What's wrong with it? He only carried me around because-"

" your leg gave out. I know, but I think him carrying you around was a contributing factor why Miss Kate couldn't recover. Am I wrong?"

" W-what? That's...not true."

" I will be careful." Samuel knew most of the people that worked in the Sanctuary were recently recruited. There was a chance of them spreading rumours. He wasn't afraid of it but it was right decision to take precaution as much as possible.

They soon arrived home and he got out to open the door. Kate looked at him with a mischievous smile and remained seated after unbuckling her seatbelt.

" My knees are still weak." She mumbled.

" Was the effect that great? I can tell why Amanda want me to cut down on it. I never knew all it took to turn women was to embrace them."

" Rascal!"

" I can still hear you know." Amanda cleared her throat to interrupt these lovebirds. It was great to see young master in the 'wild' seducing women left and right but at the same time it was uncomfortable to be the third wheel!

" Fine, fine." Samuel didn't want to prolong his teasing. He lift her up and started carrying her inside. Amanda could only chuckle, who would have believed the heir of Rothschild was such a sucker for women!

It was definitely an eye opening experience for her. Usually they wouldn't show such affection when she worked around the house and would always run away getting caught by her whenever they were doing silly stuffs.

It was good to see him grow up to be a confident man but at the same time, she felt it was affecting Nicole. Amanda had practically raised her which was why she could tell she wasn't acting like her usual self.

" Young master?" Suddenly they encounter the person in question. Nicole came out to see who arrived but was caught off guard seeing him carry Kate in his arms.

" Oh, Nicole. Can you fix something for me to eat? Nicole?" Samuel asked. He didn't think there was any issue with her seeing Kate in a princess carry, she had seen him do far worse than this!

" Nicole?" He asked again.

" Yes?"

" Ho ho..." Kate liked her reaction. Seeing the innocent maid getting flustered was aligning with her fantasies! Amanda who was standing behind them was even more surprised.

" Don't tell me..." She muttered finally figuring out what was the problem! She couldn't believe it but on the other hand she was too optimistic for it not to have happen.

" I should go and help her."

" It's you day off right?"

" I already did what I wanted to do. Nicole let's go." She dragged her inside. They swifty went inside the kitchen. Amanda mind was racing thinking about if she should interject or not but for now she wanted to observe and confirm if her suspicion was correct!

" What's up with them?"

" You are too dense to understand it." Kate said with a chuckle. He was brewing up a storm without even realizing it!

Samuel didn't know what she was referring to, he shook his head and went inside only to be surprised to find out that they already had guests inside.

" Oho, I was worried that you wouldn't take the vacation seriously but this is great!" The woman exclaimed clapping.

" Aunt Abigail? What are you doing here?" He was so surprised that he almost dropped Kate. Kate didn't know how these people were but she quickly composed herself and stood beside him.

" No need to be like this. We were waiting for you to come home but if I have known that you were on a date, I would've postponed this meeting." She said with a smile.

" I didn't mean it like that. Didn't we agree to take a break? Uncle Leonard will scold me, if he saw you are still working."

" Don't worry about him. Come inside, others are waiting."

" Others?"

" By the way, who is she? I didn't see her in the news yet." She ignored his questioned and asked about Kate first. She must have not seen the premier event where he took Kate as his companion. It was understandable because end of the year was always chaotic time for their business. They had to meet crucial deadlines as well as put out numbers report for both yearly and quarterly brackets.

" Ah, this is Kate. Kate this is Abigail, she is responsible for large portion of my business." He promptly introduced them.

" I know! I have seen her in business magazines and on television! I can't believe I am meeting her here!" Kate unexpectedly started fangirling over her. Considering she was in the food business it was surprised to see that she was aware of Abigail's identity.

" It's nice to meet you. Since you are the newest addition to his harem, I am sure we will have many chances to meet."

"Aunt!"

" What? Did I said something wrong? Beside, I don't believe that she will be last of it either. A little bird told me our young master have a very big appetite, hehehe." Samuel couldn't say anything back.

It was better for him to plead the fifth and wait for her to interest to die down. They walked inside, Kate was already embarrassed but she didn't want to miss the opportunity to know one of her idols.

He quickly spotted other guests, Andrew the head of the security company who was responsible for safety of most of his business along Marilyn Abigail's protege who was also kind of her right hand 'woman'.

Samuel was confused to see them. It was holiday as well as new year season, there must be something wrong or else why would they go out of their way to visit him?

" Boss, it's good to see you but why are you not answering your cell?" Marilyn asked as soon as she saw him.

" I never expected any business calls or is this more of a courtesy visit? If you wanted to give me a christmas gift, you could easily mail it." He shrugged.

" Boss- Oh? I see. You were busy." Marilyn spotted Kate and from the look of her disheavel clothes her mind instantly went there.

" It's good to see you boss." Andrew also stood up to greet him. He wasn't the prying type so he kept from making any remarks beside everyone knew Marilyn and Abigail had more friendly relationship with Samuel since they knew him when he was just starting out. Andrew was one of the last people to join the company.
