Chapter 76 - Fast Food Restaurant

Hearing Anne's words made Daniel speechless. There was a feeling of relief radiating on his face when Anne said she had come to The Boltons for work. Previously he was panicking when he saw Anne was driving on the main road of The Boltons neighborhood.

"Then what are you doing here yourself, do you live in this complex?" asked Anne quickly.

"I-I was going to exercise, yes sports. In this complex, there is a place to ride, so I came here to ride," Daniel lied. He couldn't possibly say the truth that Aaron lived in this complex. Daniel didn't want to make Aaron angry at him because he had talked a lot about him, because he knew that Aaron was interested in Anne.

"I see. It's no wonder you've come to this place this early," said Anne, nodding her head.

"Yes, hehehehe," said Daniel again, like a fool.

"Yes, Daniel, I have to go back to work. I don't want to get into trouble," said Anne, saying goodbye to Daniel as she got back into her car.

"Okay,? continue your work. Bye," replied Daniel quickly as he backed away from the car as it was leaving.

Daniel waved his hand in response to Anne's waving hand. After Anne's car came out of The Boltons complex. Daniel took a deep breath of gratitude.

"I thought she knew where the young master lives. Ouch, I almost had a heart attack this morning," said Daniel softly, holding his chest. He was very afraid that Anne would know where Aaron lived. Because if that happened, then he would hear Aaron babbling all the time. Because Aaron had told him that he wanted to approach Anne in a different way than he usually did when he approached a girl.

After being able to control himself, Daniel then walked over to his car and continued his journey back to Aaron's house. Aaron's house was the second largest house in the high-class complex. Five minutes later, Daniel's car stopped at a house that had a towering gate. Because the guards at Aaron's house already knew who Daniel was, as soon as Daniel sounded the horn once, the automatic gate opened wide. The maids who saw Daniel came, immediately greeted him, as usual.

"Has he awakened yet?" asked Daniel to a maid.

"Not yet, sir," replied the maid politely.

"Okay, I'll go to his room then," said Daniel again, biting the red apple on the table.

Daniel stepped into Aaron's room on the second floor. Because Aaron's room wasn't locked, he could easily enter it. He smiled when he saw Aaron sitting on the edge of the bed, holding his head.

"Are you still sick, sir?" asked Daniel quietly.

"Agh, you've come. Yes, I don't know why it could be like this. Even though as I remember, last night I only drank a little," Aaron replied softly.

"A little bit in your calculations is different from what's considered a little by other people," said Daniel with a chuckle.

Aaron was silent at the words of his best friend and his assistant. He only reached out to Daniel, asking for drinking water. Daniel, who already understood the master's sign well, then gave Aaron the drinking water in the glass, which Aaron immediately drank.

"I have two news for you. Do you want good news or bad news first?" asked Daniel quickly, as he placed his remaining apple on the table.

"Aghh, I don't believe you. All your good news is bad news for me. I don't believe it anymore," Aaron replied curtly, trying to get out of bed.

"I'm serious, sir, this is good news," said Daniel briefly.

"Wait for me downstairs, I want to take a shower. After that you just say your good news, and don't forget when you come out of my room, take your apple with you, you're very dirty," said Aaron softly, shooing Daniel away gently as he stepped into the bathroom.

Daniel just pouted his lips at Aaron's words. He then grabbed the apple and ate it again and then went to the first floor, leaving Aaron taking a shower. Usually every morning, Aaron would shower for more than thirty minutes. He was just like a woman when it came to hygiene.

Anne stopped her car at a fast food restaurant because she was still hungry. A piece of bread was unable to hold the worms in her stomach that was still protesting. Moreover, today she had a lot of activities to do. Apart from managing the flower shop, she also had to go to campus to make a report that must be submitted to Professor Gilbert.

"Thank you," said Anne kindly to the restaurant cashier after making the payment.

After the food she ordered was complete, Anne went to an empty table near the window. Anne preferred to sit by the window, because she could see people passing by. Anne's smile grew when she saw a young mother pushing a stroller beside her husband. They laughed along the way enjoying the morning air.

"What a happy family," said Anne softly, as she continued to stare at the young couple who were walking further away.

"You want to be like them?" asked a man suddenly sitting in front of Anne, carrying a tray of burgers and fries.

"Of course it's a dream ..."

Thump!

Anne couldn't finish her words when she saw the figure of the man who had just spoken, who was now sitting in front of her, smiling.

"You ..."

"Yes, it's me, Jack," replied Jack, quickly interrupting Anne's words.

"How come you're here?" stammered Anne.

"It's been ten minutes since I was here.? I even saw you got out of your Honda Civic," Jack replied softly as he chewed her fries.

Ddrrrrtt!

"Sit down, Anne! Finish your meal," Jack shouted in a rising voice as he held Anne's hand as she was about to get up from her chair.

Anne, who really wanted to leave the fast food restaurant, stared at Jack without blinking. The last memories with Jack returned to her. Memories where at that time Jack spat out words that were inappropriate to her.

"Anne ..."

"I know," said Anne curtly, as she dismissed Jack's hand which was still holding hers.

Seeing Anne sitting back in front of him, Jack smiled silently. He didn't take his eyes off of Anne, who was eating her hamburger. For nearly ten minutes she ate, Jack didn't utter a single word. He didn't want to interfere with Anne's meal.

"Are you satisfied looking at me like that? Or do you want to accuse me of being a cheap woman again?" asked Anne coldly, after she finished eating.

"Sorry," replied Jack shortly.

"Sorry, sorry for what?" asked Anne again.

"Forgive me at that time, I was emotional. I couldn't hold myself back at that time so I ..."

"Sorry because you had accused me of being whatever it was that you thought, is that what you mean?" said Anne, quickly interrupting Jack's words.

"Yes, it's my fault. I'm sorry for that, Anne," Jack replied briefly by staring at Anne's eyes.

Hearing Jack's words made Anne silent for a long time. Working with Jack for more than one and a half years made Anne know his nature and character well. She knew Jack was a man who was very explosive, without wanting to confirm the truth first.

"Never mind. No need to apologize. I'm tired of hearing it. After all, you'll also do it again, right?" Said Anne quietly as she grabbed the cola glass in front of her and sipped.

"No, Anne, I promise I won't talk like that again. I promise you," Jack answered seriously with a sad gaze, as he took Anne's hand that was on the table.

"Don't ... don't be like this, Jack," said Anne in panic, as she pulled her hand away from Jack's grasp. The cola glass which was still filled shook when Anne tried to remove her hand from Jack's.

"Okay, sorry, my bad," yelled Jack quickly.

"What are you doing here? Why are you in this place Mr. ... Mr. Jackson Muller?" asked Anne coldly, mentioning Jack's full name. Anne did that to insinuate Jack, who had been deceiving her by not telling her her true identity, which turned out to be a great businessman. Yesterday, Anne had read Jack's profile as she sat with Agnes at the guest table.

"I can explain to you about that, Anne ..."

****

Bang!

Aaron hit the dining table hard when Daniel told him that he had just met Anne on the main street of his estate this morning.

"Why didn't you tell me in the first place?" shrieked Aaron with great emotion.

"Wasn't this morning I told you that I brought you good news, but you didn't want to hear it? Then where did I go wrong?" Daniel replied without guilt.

"Ah, you really are a jerk Daniel. Can't you tell the difference between important news and super important news like this?" said Aaron irritably, as he got up from his chair and walked quickly toward the door.

"Wait, sir, I haven't finished eating yet!!!" shouted Daniel loudly as he put a piece of lobster in his mouth.

Aaron didn't listen to Daniel's words. He just kept walking towards the front yard where his car was parked. Meanwhile, Daniel, whose mouth was still full of food, seemed to be running behind Aaron, grumbling to himself for his bad luck every time he ate at Aaron's house.

To be continued.
