Chapter 1033: Ash
" I am sorry to disturb you but is it possible to adopt that black husky?" Samuel came forward and asked.
Since, Eleanor was tasked with convincing Mayra and Kayla, he knew she wouldn't back down until they were convinced.
Beside, he had to head back home in few days which couldn't be delayed, it had already been extended for a week and the time of shooting the double sequel was approaching fast.
" You...you want to adopt it? Are you sure?" The one who seemed like the boss spoke in disbelief. They were still in the state of shock after what they witnessed earlier but they would have never anticipated such a swift decision from the other party.
" Well, if it's not too much trouble. There is no need to worry about the dog's condition. I have some idea of how to control their aggressive behaviour, I am sure you have already witnessed it." Samuel added with a smile.
No matter how ferocious the dog was, he would warn it not to do anything excessive after couple of hour of 'counselling', Samuel was confident it would become better than any domesticated dog!
" We have to check your credentials and assess the living environment. There is also the issue of further danger..there are too many things to consider-"
" Would one million donation work? I am sure we can work out the numbers, you see we are in a hurry." Samuel added. His wicked smile still hidden behind his mask.
Everyone was shocked for a second before they finally admitted the unusual apperance of their guests. The one infront of them was obviously a young man but he was hiding his identity while the old woman was doing the same but her noble temperament couldn't be hidden under her large sunglasses.
Nonetheless, they had seen the little girl it was obvious their family was rich still there was some hesitation because they didn't kniw what would happen to the animal.
After all no matter how much the black husky frightened them, they only wanted what was best for him. It had changed hands numerous times finally coming to their clinic if not for their timely interjection, the husky would have already been put down by relevant authorities due to it's unusual aggressiveness!
" This.."
" Sir, I think we will be able to handle everything. You and lady boss should could just wait for the news." Suddenly another voice interrupted their conversation.
Samuel knew them, they were the bodyguards under her grandmother. He just nodded and went back inside to deliver the good news.
" Who are you now?"
" I will clarify the situation. Why don't we go and talk in private." The guard smiled and led the boss aside to explain everything.
Samuel was relieved. It didn't take long for people to be convinced, it only took some persuasion and a little bit of their background to smooth the edges. Everything was done within half an hour!
Meanwhile, Samuel spent some 'training' the dog to be obedient. Within minutes, it sensed that the danger period had passed and now it was more comfortable in Samuel's presence.
" Good dog!" Samuel patted it delighted by it's progress. He could feel it's various emotions of mistrust and hatred toward others but at the same time there was a tactful understanding between them.
Atleast it would no longer flinch under his touch which was progress but he knew that it needed to get accustomed to the new surroundings it would experience in near future. Fortunately, Samuel had time to do it properly.
" What about others? Did they agree?" Eleanor asked.
" Your people are there, I am sure they would take care of it." He said not going into details.
Eleanor nodded and said," Since we are adopting it why don't we think of a nice name for it? It was scary at first but now it looks like a big child. We have to think of a majestic name for it."
" Elise?"
" I...I have to think about it." Coming up with a name on the spot was not something a child could do.
Samuel thought for a second, appearance like wolf with jet black hair, Knight would be suitable but there was already someone with that name.
The blue eyes were quite distinctive coupled with white dashes at various locations gave it a serene look. There were quite a lot of wounds on it's body but most of them were already healed and have long since covered by new hair but whenever he brushed it's fur, it would pop back up.
A tall name was suitable but he didn't want it's identity to be defined by violence, Jet? Amber? No, too feminine. Ash, Ash...yes, it seems suitable, simple and easy to remember.
" What about Ash? It's a male so it would suit it." He said with a smile.
" Ash? Good." Eleanor approved. Even Elise seemed happy about it and began chanting it's name.
Samuel talked to it making it understand what it meant to have a name. It may not understand the human tongue but with Samuel's animal affinity, it distinctively remeber the tone and knew what his master said!
" It's decided then." Samuel stood up happy with himself.
" Are we going to to your place now?" Eleanor asked. Their plan derailed for couple of hours but there was still some time left.

" I don't think it's appropriate. I want to send Helga and Katarina off tomorrow, if we go now it would take too much time and I know we wouldn't be able to come back."
He also didn't want to go because he already felt it was too soon to make his appearance. Since he left Nicole and Lucie to deal with the Estate, he wanted to see their progress.
" You guys could go there tomorrow, I will inform them about the change in schedule."
Eleanor nodded, she didn't have much opinion about it beside she wanted to see for herself. With Samuel's presence she felt they would be on their best behaviour. She wouldn't be able to find faults and ask 'important' questions!
Since the adoption process was over they were ready to head out. Ash was placed in a large cage on the insistence of the staff, they were reluctant to let it loose in the public.
If not for Samuel and Eleanor's mysterious background, they wouldn't take risk of issue adoption papers but the guards were too persuasive!
Ash would be transported in different vehicle while Samuel and other would drive back home in another car.
Just when they reached the main street, Samuel's worst fear came true for the third time today!
