Chapter 27 - Unwritten Rules

Anne canceled her intention to return to her apartment. She chose to stop in front of a car showroom. Anne entered the car showroom while carrying the groceries that she had previously bought at a cosmetics shop. Two showroom employees approached her in a friendly manner when Anne entered the showroom and they immediately greeted her with wide smiles.

Receiving this kind of treatment had made Anne smile happily as well. She remembered the incident two years ago when she lived in Germany and she was still Leonardo Ganke's wife. She couldn't even imagine buying a car for herself, let alone buying it for real. At that time, Leon didn't even allow her to go to public places while they were married. Anne only relied on public transportation during her marriage period. ??

"It turns out that money can buy anything, it's no wonder Steffi betrayed me," said Anne to herself, smiling back at the showroom employees who greeted her.

An hour later, Anne was seen coming out of the car showroom with a file that she had to fill in because she had decided to buy the car of her dream. Anne could drive the car without Leon and Catherine's knowledge even though Anne didn't have a driver's license yet. Anne once took a driving course when she was going to marry Leon. During that time, Steffi told her that she had to be able to drive a car so she could go anywhere with Leon's car without making it difficult for Leon. But when she was able to drive Leon's car, he actually forbade her to get even closer to him.

"Thank you for the valuable lesson that you both gave me, now I know how to deal with life well," said Anne to herself with a smile when she was already on the way home in the taxi.

Connery Corp

Since returning from Newcastle Upon Tyne, Aaron couldn't focus on his work at all. Today he had made his employees as frustrated as him. He asked the employees who gave the report to him to revise every report they made, even when they had made the report properly without the slightest mistake. Aaron always threw away the reports and asked his employees to re-create it. Even one of the managers who had run out of patience tried to test whether the young CEO really checked their report or not by submitting the same report as before without him revising it again. Few seconds the report touched Aaron's hand, he threw it away on the floor. This had confirmed the manager's assumption that the CEO was indeed in bad mood.

"Come on, Daniel, you're a friend of Mr. Aaron. Please replace out exactly what happened to Mr. Aaron so that we don't have to suffer like this," said a finance manager named Douglas hopefully as he grabbed Daniel's hand who was standing in front of Aaron's room.

"I also don't know what happened to him, Douglas. You know you are not the only one who got affected by his mood, he has been insulting me with such awful words for the last two days. And I'm trying to be calm like this because I don't want to go crazy," Daniel replied irritably. It had been two days since Aaron was angry and he continued to pour out his frustrations on Daniel.

Aaron always found an excuse to criticize everything Daniel did and this had never happened before. Daniel was sure that Aaron was having some issues with someone at Newcastle Upon Tyne. That was why Aaron channeled his anger on him when the CEO returned from the small town. Daniel could only speculate things since he didn't even dare to go against Aaron's words. As Aaron's friends for so many years, this was the first time he saw his friend look very frustrated filled with rage with no understandable reason at all.

"Do you think he is having a problem with his girlfriend?" Douglas asked again.

"I thought you know well that he doesn't date anyone, most women who were with him all this time were only considered as one-night stand partners. Don't even hope you could replace his girlfriend among one of those girls, Aaron stopped believing in love since the day he was betrayed by his lover. Don't you already know that, Douglas? Never bring up this girlfriend issue in front of Aaron, because I can't even imagine what will happen to you if Aaron gets angry. Remember, you still have young children and their education cost would be too expensive for you if you get fired. I advise you to shut your mouth if you still want to work in this company and never talk about the personal life of Aaron Sean Connery," replied Daniel slowly while trying to hang his hand on the senior's shoulder. In the Connery Corp company, it was absolutely forbidden to discuss Aaron's personal life. Therefore, even though the employees know that the leader often changed partners, no one dared to talk or bring up that matter.

Douglas's face immediately turned pale when he heard Daniel's words. He immediately regretted his actions that had dared to bring up the CEO's personal problems. Cold sweat was seen coming out of his forehead. Douglas's panic expression had made Daniel smile. He then invited Douglas to walk towards the fax machine near the employee desk.

"Never mind Douglas ... forget everything that has happened to Aaron today, you don't have to be so anxious about it and you better stay away from him. Ask all your subordinates to not approach Aaron within a 5-meter radius. Let him be angry today because I'm sure tomorrow his mood will return to normal and let me deal with it today. Now you don't have to keep making the new report and it's better if we go back to our main job," said Daniel slowly trying to encourage Douglas.

" T-thanks, but you wouldn't tell Mr. Aaron if I had ... "

"Come on, Douglas, you know me for so long, you better go back to work or else I won't be able to help you again to face Aaron," said Daniel again cutting Douglas' words.

Douglas's smile suddenly appeared when he heard Daniel's words, he then nodded his head slowly and looked at all his subordinates who were standing in front of Aaron's room. Shortly thereafter he then gave a sign to ask all of his subordinates to leave the CEO's room. Daniel felt relieved and showed a smile after Douglas and his team left. He then loosened the tie that was attached to his neck and walked slowly to Aaron's private room which was unlocked.

"Is she some beautiful Greek Gods that she could make you crank up like a rhino who wants to mate like this, Aaron?" asked Daniel fearlessly when he entered Aaron's room.
