Chapter 167 - The Henderson's Plan
Hearing Marissa called herself a close friend, Jack looked displeased, especially when Marissa put her arm around him. But because Jack didn't want to make a bad image in front of his new clients, he tried to be patient and let Marissa do what she wanted. After his clients left his office, suddenly Jack forcibly released Marissa's hands that were wrapped around his arms and pushed her away from him.
"Ouch, that hurts, Sir," Marissa screamed in pain when she was pushed by Jack. Fortunately there was her sister, Kimberly, who immediately held her body so she didn't fall to the floor.
"Don't cross your line, Marissa. You better get going now before I get mad at you," replied Jack in a high pitched voice.
"I've been waiting for you for almost two hours and now you told me to leave? You're mean, Mr. Muller," Marissa said pitifully.
"No one asked you to wait for me here, so it's better now you get out of my sight before I ask my bodyguards to drag you away from this place right now," said Jack curtly. After saying that, Jack then left the lobby and headed back to the elevator to return to the fifth floor where his room was.
Seeing that Jack was about to leave, Marissa tried to chase after him, but Jack's two personal bodyguards immediately took action. They held Marissa, who almost grabbed Jack's body.
"Let go ... let go of me, I want to talk to Mr. Muller. Let me go," shouted Marissa loudly.
"Sorry, Miss, you better get out of our office or we will call the police to force you out of our office," said a security guard loudly in response to Marissa's words who were still trying to catch up to Jack, who was now in the elevator.
"No, I want to talk to Mr. Muller. Let me go!" Marissa screamed trying to get away.
"Mr. Jackson, wait! Let us talk for a while. Mr. Jackson, wait!" Kimberly, who had been silent for a long time, finally joined in and shouted! She even almost got to the elevator which was almost closed. She wanted to catch up to Jack and followed Jack upstairs, but Jack's bodyguards acted quickly.
The two women were eventually dragged out of the Muller Finance International office by force because they did not want to cooperate.
"You'd better get out of this office before we do anything further to you," rebuked a man with the largest body, threatening Marissa and Kimberly.
"You guys, how dare you threaten us? Who do you think you are? I'm one of the most popular socialites in London," Marissa replied emotionally.
"If you are a socialite, you shouldn't act like this. What you just did is the lowest behavior usually carried out by paid women. So you better pay attention to your attitude when you are in our office," replied Jack's personal guard again loudly. After saying that, he then went back into the office and left Marissa and Kimberly on the side of the road right in front of the office of Muller Finance International.
Being called paid women, Marissa and Kimberly's emotions rose. They both shouted loudly at Jack's personal bodyguard who had insulted them many times loudly. However, because several pedestrians looked at them, the two women finally stopped their actions, because one of the pedestrians had said their last names. Because they didn't want to tarnish their reputation, Marissa and Kimberly left Jack's office full of emotion. Their effort to wait for almost two hours in the lobby was to no avail.
"Just watch, Jackson Muller, you will definitely fall into my arms," Marissa squealed in annoyance as she got in the car driven by her sister, Kimberly.
"Yes, Jackson Muller will definitely fall into your arms, you calm down. If you didn't manage to get his attention this way, maybe you can get the attention of this handsome man in other ways," said Kimberly with a smile on her face.
"What do you mean, Kim? I don't understand," Marissa asked curiously.
"Look at this," Kimberly answered quietly as she handed her cell phone to her brother.
Marissa who was curious immediately grabbed Kimberly's cell phone and was surprised when she saw the photo on her sister's cell phone. Her mouth was opened wide when she saw the photo of herself and Jack that was taken secretly by Kimberly.
"How did you get this, Kim? I really can't believe it," said Marissa with a big smile.
"You can always count on me to take the right moment, sis. With this photo, you can make the public think that Jackson Patrick Muller is involved with you, and with that your name will automatically be raised. So we don't have to bother trying to get Jackson's attention anymore, because I'm sure the man will definitely come to you to ask for confirmation about the photo and that's when you can negotiate with him for the continuation of your relationship," said Kimberly at length, explaining her plans.
Hearing her sister's words, Marissa laughed out loud. She didn't think that her sister had made such an elaborate plan to trap Jackson Muller, who was known to be very cold to women.
"I love you, Kim, I love you so much. With this, I can approach Jackson Patrick Muller further and make those damn employees apologize and kneel before me for daring to treat me disrespectfully like before," said Marissa filled with emotion as she recalled what had just happened to her.
"Yes sis, be patient, that time will soon come and you can make them crawl under your feet to apologize. After you managed to get Jackson Patrick Muller, then you have to help me get close to Aaron Sean Connery. This morning I heard rumors that his ex-fiancé, the supermodel who has been pursuing her career in America called Candice, came back to London. Therefore, you must quickly help me to get Aaron Sean Connery before that whore approaches Aaron again," Kimberly said quickly, remembering Candice, who was one of the famous underwear models in the United States.
"So Candice is back in England? It's getting interesting. I think that woman is not selling well in America, so now she's back in England to chase her ex-fiancé again. Don't worry, Kim. As long as I'm still around and have got Jack, then I'll help you get Aaron Sean Connery. After we both succeed in becoming the wives of those handsome and rich businessmen, we will succeed in controlling London. After that, we can continue to attend every Buckingham palace event with the nobles. And if that happens, then the people who underestimate us will apologize to us. I really can't wait for it to happen," said Marissa passionately.
"Me too, Sis, it's better if we take this photo to one of the editors of a business magazine I know. I'm sure he will be happy to get this big news," Kimberly exclaimed excitedly.
Marissa smiled broadly at her sister's words. Not long after that, she fastened her seat belt firmly so that Kimberly could take her car at high speed to go to the magazine editor's office that Kimberly mentioned earlier.

Linda, who had been curious about why Anne had cut her hair since this morning, really couldn't hold back. She quickly grabbed the hat that Anne was wearing when Professor Gilbert's class ended so that Anne's short hair could be seen very clearly.
"Anne, are you kidding me?!!"
"No, how do I look? I look prettier, don't I?" asked Anne quickly teasing Linda.
"No, of course not. You're prettier with your long hair," Linda answered loudly, causing everyone to look back and be surprised to see Anne with short hair.
Being looked at by all her friends made Anne feel uncomfortable, she was not used to being stared at by many people.
"Hi guys...sorry if Linda's voice bothers you," said Anne quietly embarrassed.
