My Love, Enlighten me

Servants and securities were almost everywhere, and when Gloria Taylor and Kenny Clarke walked by, they all stopped and greeted.

Gloria noticed that if three or more of them were together they even bowed to her and Kenny in a line.

They were well trained. And seeing that, Gloria got even more nervous.

The estate was large.

Gloria and Kenny walked through the front yard, crossed the hall, and got into the back where Kenny’s grandfather stayed.

They stopped outside of a room, and Kenny asked the servant standing in front of the door.

“Is grandpa here?”

“Yes, sir.” He replied with delight, and he opened the door to speak to someone inside the room in a low voice.

“Sir, Master Kenny is back.”

The door was slightly opened so that the servant was able to stand there, which blocked Gloria’ s sight.

“Bring him in.” The man sounded old but still strong.

“Yes, sir.” The servant turned around and nodded to them.

Kenny took a pause.

“Let’s go.” He walked in with Gloria, holding her hand.

Inside the room, the heat was on, and it smelled like tea and ink.

Gloria saw that an old man was standing in front of the desk, writing calligraphy. Behind him was a bookshelf, and a tea set lied on the table along with the desk.

“Grandpa,” Kenny said.
