“Okay!”
As the servant turned around, they heard a commotion downstairs, followed by hectic footsteps. There seemed to be more than one person, and it was rather crowded.
“Miss Rollins?” Shocked, the servant looked at Anastasia.
She was also surprised but merely waved dismissively. “Don’t panic. Let’s go check it out.”
Anastasia led the way, and when she got to the stairwell, she saw a dozen or more burly men below and heard voices.
She could tell one of the voices belonged to another servant. “Mr. Moore, Secretary Rollins would be mad if he finds out you’re misbehaving in the house.”
“Then let him come out and give me an earful!” Fabian shouted boldly. “I don’t care even if he beats me up! No matter what, I must see him. I’d like to ask him if he treats me as his family!”
“Miss…” The servant beside her whispered.
Anastasia stopped her by raising a hand, then went downstairs. “I was wondering who was making a ruckus. It turns out to be you, Uncle Fabian.”
Her voice drew everyone’s attention, and the men looked toward the stairs.
As if seeing his savior, the servant downstairs rushed over, wiping his sweat. “Miss, Mr. Moore refused to listen and barged in. We really couldn’t stop-”
“Leave us! He’s not an outsider, but my dear uncle,” Anastasia said casually, and she signaled the servants to leave with her eyes.
