Chapter 318 - A Surprise For Anne
Chapter 318 - A Surprise For Anne
Back in his office, Leon went mad. He destroyed the things in his room. Leon was not only angry that Jack withdrew his investment from Ganke Inc. Production, but also because of Anne. The ex-wife who he was after and hoped to get back to him, turned out to have a special relationship with Jackson Patrick Muller that he never thought at all.
"Fuck...! Your fiancé? Marianne is my wife, she is mine."
"Our relationship is not good, but I'm sure Marianne will definitely come back to me."
"Aarrgghh...! You bastard, Jackson Patrick Muller!"
Various curses came out of Leon's mouth, who was furious. He was very upset because he lost Anne. Meanwhile, Wayne, who was guarding in front of Leon's room, could only remain silent while lowering his head. He really didn't expect to see with his own eyes that the outdated woman Marianne he knew before had now turned into an adult woman who was very beautiful and elegant, and she was even very smart.
"No wonder you want to get Miss Marianne back. It turns out that now Mrs. Marianne is very beautiful," Wayne said to himself.
Wayne also recalled his first meeting with Anne years ago when he was coming to the house to pick up Leon. The very simple Anne was really very different from Anne now and it made Wayne regretted that he had been rude to Anne in the past. The employees who were working could only be silent when they heard Leon was angry. None of them dared to speak for fear of being hit by Leon's anger too.
Meanwhile, Anne, who was sitting on the sofa waiting for Jack to finish work, looked very uneasy. She changed her sitting position several times because she was not comfortable wearing a mini dress. Even though at this time there was only Jack in front of her, but Anne was still uncomfortable. Jack, who was focusing on his other files, finally realized that there was something wrong with her. After finished with the files, Jack then sent a message back to Alice, his personal secretary, and approached Anne with a coat that he had just taken from the standing hanger behind his chair.
"Sorry, please wait a little longer, okay? After this, we will go," said Jack quietly as he put the coat he was wearing on Anne's thigh.
"Home?" asked Anne quickly.
"Hmmm no, I want to take you somewhere else," replied Jack flatly.
"If we're not going home, then where are we going?" asked Anne again.
Jack smiled, then lowered his face and planted a kiss on Anne's forehead lovingly. "You'll know when we get there."
"Jack...what's with all the secret?" protested Anne in annoyance.
"Since it's a surprise, if I tell you then it won't be a surprise anymore," answered Jack quickly.
"But..."
"Don't argue, and sit quietly. I'll finish all my work, after that we'll go."Jack cut Anne's words quickly.
Anne finally relented. She no longer argued with Jack and sat back on the sofa, waiting patiently for Jack to finish his work. Without a cell phone in her hand to while away the time, Anne got really bored, especially since there was not a single magazine to read in Jack's room. As a result, the only thing Anne could do was to sleep. She chose to close her eyes to kill time. Shortly after Anne went to sleep, Jack's door was knocked from outside, and Alice and Erick came in with several shopping bags which were quite large. Apparently, Jack had ordered Alice to go pick up the things he had ordered a while ago.
"Where should I put this, sir?" asked Alice breathlessly.
"Just put it near the sofa, but don't make noise. Anne is just sleeping," answered Jack quickly.
Alice and Erick immediately looked at the sofa at the same time, not to put the things they brought, but to look at Anne, who was indeed fast asleep in a sitting position. Because they didn't want to disturb Anne, finally Jack's two right hands carefully placed the two large shopping bags near the sofa. After carrying out their duties, they then left Jack's room to continue their pending work. After Alice and Erick left, Jack then took out a small box from his desk drawer with a smile.
"Tonight you will completely be mine, Anne," Jack said quietly. His smile widened as he looked at the contents of the box he was taking out of the drawer.
Because he still had a lot of work to do, Jack then returned his focus to the papers piled up on his desk. Moreover, he also had to take care of canceling the collaboration with Ganke Inc. Production, which would certainly take up a lot of time. Time passed quickly. Jack, who was focused on his work, did not realize that it was almost evening. He only realized that all his work had been completed when he saw that the cooperation agreement papers he had to sign had moved. There were almost fifteen new contracts that Jack had taken care of today. Running a company that focused on funding made Jack had to be very selective in choosing his colleagues. So he always went down immediately every time a contract came in. And the contracts he just finished today were the result of his selection with the legal team and Erick. That was why he had to complete the files, so they wouldn't be a problem in the future.
"Apparently, she's really tired. Relax, Anne. After tonight, that damn Leonardo Ganke won't be able to bother you anymore. He won't be able to force you to work in his office either," said Jack quietly as he looked at Anne, who was still sleeping in the same position. She never moved much when she was asleep.
Unbeknownst to Anne, Jack had just communicated with Professor Gilbert. He told the professor everything that Leon had done to Anne, including Leon's harsh words to her. Jack deliberately told Professor Gilbert, so that the professor would not send Anne back to Ganke Inc. Production. Jack even offered his company as an internship for UAL students to the professor, but because Jack's company was in a field that did not match the majors of the students at the art campus in London, Professor Gilbert finally politely refused Jack's offer. But Jack promised the professor that he would help UAL students find internships at other companies that matched the arts students' majors.
After all his work was done, Jack tidied up the files that would be handed over to his lawyer for approval. Jack then walked slowly towards the door to lock it from the inside. He wanted to take a shower before going to this secret place with Anne. That was why he locked the door of his room from the inside, so that no one could enter while he was taking a shower. He didn't want anything bad happened to Anne who was sleeping, even though at the moment Erick and the other workers had gone home fifteen minutes ago. Jack deliberately made his workers go home early, including Erick and Alice, so that he could execute his surprise for Anne perfectly.
