Chapter 3784
The two brothers were young and sat in the back seat of Tatum's black Mercedes. As long as they kept the windows up, they wouldn't be seen by anyone outside.
After they entered the Qaxun Group building, they went straight from the car to the office without encountering anyone. Tatum felt relieved, knowing he hadn't exposed the brothers to unwanted attention. He silently vowed that no matter how much the boys pleaded, he would not take them out so easily in the future.
Before the brothers officially entered society, their family took great care to protect them, ensuring that the public couldn't easily capture their faces. When the time came for them to join the business world, Grandma May would introduce them at various social events, and they'd gradually start making connections. By then, they would be adults with some social experience and the ability to protect themselves.
Tatum and the two brothers took the elevator straight to the top floor and soon reached the door of the president's office. Alonzo eagerly knocked on the door and entered before anyone could stop him.
Elora's secretary, who had just called her on the internal line, saw Tatum and the boys. She recognized Tatum as the CEO's personal chef, who often brought her snacks, so she didn't try to stop them and let them enter one after the other. As the two brothers stepped inside, they happily greeted their older and second sisters.
Once Tatum was inside, he closed the office door, ensuring they had privacy.
"What are you two doing here?" Tinsley asked, surprised to see the brothers. She stood up, and Angelo ran to her, wrapping his arms around her legs. He looked up at her with a sweet smile and said, "Second sister."
Tinsley's heart melted at Angelo's affectionate greeting, and she bent down to pick him up. Alonzo stood nearby, beaming at his sister.
"Did you get permission to come here?" Elora asked seriously.
The two brothers nodded quickly.
Tatum placed the snacks he brought on the desk and said politely, "I asked
Mrs. Ormond for permission, and only after she agreed did I bring them here."
Despite his close relationship with the family, Tatum never forgot his role. He was not a son-in-law of the Ormond family or the Sixth Young Master of the York family; he was Elora's private chef. He knew he had to follow the rules, and he wouldn't dare take the boys out without her permission, no matter how confident he was in protecting them.
Elora's expression softened slightly, but she still reminded the brothers, "Don't go out with Tatum so casually in the future. What if someone tries to harm you?"
Tatum spoke up, "Miss, I've trained extensively and can protect the young masters."Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Elora's gaze shifted to him, her expression turning serious once more. She said, "Even if you can protect them, it's still risky to take them out without proper arrangements. Whenever they leave home, we plan everything in advance. For now, they should enjoy playing at home; our playground is more than big enough."
Tatum looked regretful and said, "I didn't think it through. They said they missed their sister and wanted to come along with me. I got Mrs. Ormond's permission, but I didn't consider all the risks. I apologize, Miss. It won't happen again."
