Chapter 111 - Aaron's Change
But this time he did not eat in the cafeteria, because Daniel asked him to go out. Aaron went by car to a place he didn't know, because it was Daniel who drove the car.
Apparently Daniel took Aaron to a fast food restaurant to buy some burgers and fries and sandwiches, but strangely they didn't eat on the spot. Daniel asked the restaurant employee to wrap it up and this made Aaron confused, because there was no previous discussion to eat elsewhere.
But because he knew Daniel was upset with him, finally Aaron could only shut his mouth and let whatever Daniel wanted to do, when he got into the car, Aaron only enjoyed his fries and let Daniel drive the car as he pleased.
After driving for almost forty-five minutes, finally the car drove by Daniel stopped in front of Anne's flower shop. Aaron, who had finished a portion of french fries and a small burger, looked shocked when Daniel took him to Anne's place.
"Don't ask why and how I know about Miss Anne's flower shop, what is clear is that at this point we have arrived at our destination. Let's go down and ask Miss Anne to have lunch together," said Daniel quickly as he opened the seat belt that was still attached to his body.
After saying that Daniel then grabbed three large paper bags containing the food he had ordered earlier at the fast food restaurant, he then got out of the car and walked to Anne's flower shop.
"Come on, sir," called Daniel loudly inviting Aaron to come down.
"Y-yes," Aaron stuttered as he took off his seat belt and got out of his luxury car and ran after Daniel, who had been greeted by Anne and Linda.
It so happened that Anne and Linda were going to go out for lunch, but they didn't have time to go because they had to serve one more flower order which had to be tidied up as soon as possible as the buyer had arrived at the flower shop.
"We're not disturbing, are we?" Aaron asked quietly to Anne who had just finished arranging a flower bouquet.
"No, sit on that chair," said Anne briefly, pointing to the table and chairs in the flower shop.
Without speaking, Aaron and Daniel sat on the chair which Anne meant, because Daniel was actually hungry, finally he took out all the food he had ordered earlier and arranged it on the table neatly.
Linda, who was still surprised to see the CEO of Connery Corporation at the flower shop, looked embarrassed, she just stayed at the cashier counter where Anne was receiving payments from the flower buyer.
After finishing serving the customers, Anne then invited Linda to join Aaron and Daniel, they finally ate together without feeling awkward.
Linda also looked comfortable after Anne said that Aaron was her friend, Anne had forgotten what Aaron said last night about asking her to marry him. Anne considered what Aaron said was just a joke because she knew Aaron was a humorous person, as Daniel had previously guessed.
His plan to take Anne to lunch together made Aaron even more eager than before, he even finished two large burgers while eating at a flower shop and this made him happy to see his master's appetite immediately return to normal.
"My stomach." Daniel was holding his stomach that was full of food. He had just finished two jumbo sized burgers and three portions of french fries and half a portion of the salad he shared with Linda.
"You brat, keep your attitude, Daniel. There are people here," Aaron said quietly while holding Daniel, who was groping his already bulging stomach.
"Just leave it, Daniel is full. Thank you for coming here and bringing lots of food, I'm really very lucky to save my money to eat with Linda because you brought this much food," said Anne quickly with a laugh.
"It's nothing Anne, we happen to be not far from the shop. So we all passed and hitchhiked here," replied Aaron lied.
Not long after, Aaron left the flower shop because Anne had a flower delivery from Mrs. Mary and he didn't want to disturb Anne who was busy.
"Bye Anne, sorry I didn't help," Aaron said quietly when he got into the car.
"It's fine, this is our job. Be careful and thank you for the food, Aaron," said Anne quickly with her dimples visible because of a smile.
Aaron's heart really couldn't be compromised, he felt tight when he saw Anne smiling like that. Not being able to linger near Anne, Aaron finally asked Daniel to leave.
Anne also waved her hand towards Aaron's car, then she returned to continue her work of arranging the flowers that had just been unloaded from the car.
"It's not in vain that I gave you a big salary, Daniel, you are smart," Aaron said quietly praising Daniel.
"Of course, then give me one of your cars as a present. I want a Ferrari car that…"
Slap!
Daniel could not finish his words because Aaron hit his head quite hard.
"Don't dream, that's my beloved car, Daniel hahaha." Aaron gave a big laugh after he hit Daniel.
Meanwhile, Daniel could only grimace in pain as he continued to drive his car back to the office, he was happy because today could make Aaron smile again. Daniel was also sure that Aaron really liked Anne.
Since the three days spent on holiday in Ireland are over, the UAL students finally returned to London together with Steffi and Professor Gilbert, because Leon had already returned first. He said there were important things that had to be taken care of so he came back early.
Even though Steffi didn't like Leon to come home early but she couldn't do anything about it, she could only watch her husband leave.
Using one plane, the group finally arrived in London safely, Edward, who wanted to go home first, was forced to swallow his bitterness because he forgot that his passport was held by Professor Gilbert in case a student forgot their passport.
