I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Arriving at the mall, Anne could only stand still when Linda and Paul stared at her without blinking. Both of them looked very displeased with Jack being among them.

"I only bought three tickets in a row, Anne," Linda whispered softly in Anne's ear as she showed the three tickets that Paul had just bought.

Since Jack was standing right next to Anne, he could hear what Linda was saying. Without saying a word, Jack then walked quickly towards the cashier. It took him some time at the cashier, and he was seen pointing at the cashier's monitor screen. Soon, he then walked back to Anne, Linda, and Paul with a triumphant smile. 

"Where are your tickets?" Jack asked Linda quietly.

"What for?"

"I want to see them," Jack answered simply.

Without suspicion, Linda then gave the three tickets that she had previously shown to Anne, but suddenly Jack grabbed the tickets that were still held by Linda and immediately tore them down to a pieces. Anne and Linda screamed quite loudly when they saw what Jack was doing.

"Jack!! What are you doing?" cried Anne, full of emotion.

Instead of answering Anne's question, Jack immediately put his arm around Anne's waist and hugged her tightly. 

"Jack..."

"You two come with me and don't argue, I really don't like being contradicted by someone." Jack spoke in a commanding tone to Linda and Paul who were still in shock from what they saw.

"Fine," answered Linda and Paul in unison subconsciously. 

Anne, who felt uncomfortable being hugged by Jack in front of Linda and Paul, tried to escape from Jack's arms, but the more she struggled, the stronger Jack's grip on her waist became. As a result, like it or not, Anne could only surrender and follow Jack's footsteps, while Linda and Paul could only follow behind without speaking. Their footsteps just stopped when they arrived at a luxurious door that was already open and guarded by a beautiful usher.

"Please follow me," said the beautiful usher softly with a friendly smile. 

"Where are we going, Jack?" asked Anne quietly.

"Watching a movie, didn't you guys want to see a movie?" Jack asked back in a voice loud enough for Linda and Paul to hear. 

"How can we watch a movie if we only have the ticket..."

Gulp!

Anne swallowed her saliva slowly when she saw the room in front of her eyes, as well as Paul and Linda, who couldn't believe that they were currently in a VIP cinema room where all the seats had been especially booked by Jack today. 

"Welcome, please choose a seat that you think is comfortable. Because all the seats in this room have been booked by Mr. Jackson Muller for all of you," said the beautiful usher who was one of the cinema officers in a friendly manner.

"This wh-whole VIP room? So we can sit anywhere?" asked Paul, stammering. He was still fascinated and surprised to see the VIP room in front of him. Because this was the first time Paul had entered the cinema and immediately sat in a VIP chair that looked like a bed complete with comfortable pillows and blankets.

"Yes sir, this room has been booked by Mr. Jackson Muller," the cinema usher replied with a smile. 

The excited Paul at first wanted to go straight up the steps and choose the best seat, but his steps stopped when Linda immediately grabbed his arm. When Paul was about to ask, Linda gave Paul an eye signal about the presence of Jack and Anne. Paul, who immediately understood the code given by Linda, immediately took a step back and stood right behind Linda. He gave Jack and Anne the opportunity to choose a seat first. 

Jack, who had been silent for a long time, then smiled when he saw Paul backing away and standing behind Linda. Slowly, he then walked up the steps to the very comfortable seats, still hugging Anne. Jack's footsteps stopped on the second row from the top. He asked Anne to sit first into the super comfortable chair. Anne, who couldn't get away from Jack, could only surrender and obey like a good girl. After Jack and Anne sat down, Linda then pulled Paul's hand up the steps and sat down in a seat two rows below Jack and Anne's seats were.

"Why are we sitting here, Linda? I want to be with them," Paul protested in a half-whisper to Linda, who was sitting next to him. 

"For now, for the sake of our safety and security, it's better not to talk too much and just sit here. I don't want to cause trouble with that guy named Jack," Linda answered quietly as she gripped the hand of her boyfriend, who looked displeased with his current sitting position. Paul wanted to sit next to Jack and Anne, whose view was wider than where he was currently sitting. 

"So what's wrong? Didn't the lady say earlier that all these places have been booked by Mr. Jack, so there is nothing wrong, isn't it, if we want to sit next to or above the seats of Miss and Mr. Jack?" asked Paul again without guilt. 

"If this entire theatre has been booked by Jack, it means he has full power over this room, so we as people who are only invited to enjoy this facility do not have the right to sit on the same level or above his current seat, Paul. You don't want us to be kicked out of here for sitting next to them, do you?" asked Linda in exasperation.

Paul shook his head quickly. He already liked his seat. 

"Well, if you don't want to, just shut up and let's enjoy the movie. Don't bother Jack Muller, he's the boss," said Linda again. 

"Okay, I understand, I'm sorry. I was just too happy to be in this cinema to not realize such an important thing, I'm sorry, Linda." Paul whispered in a low voice full of regret.

Linda smiled at Paul's words. Not long after that, four waiters came to bring welcome drinks and snacks for them. Because the entire room was booked by Jack, they got all the facilities in that place, so all the food and drinks that should have been for about twenty people were now given only to the four of them. As a result, now the four of them get super duper luxury facilities with a variety of expensive food and drinks already on their respective tables. 

"This is too much, Jack," said Anne quietly when she saw the steak with caviar was served before her eyes. 

"What's too much? I only booked this one room, not the whole hotel for you, Anne," Jack answered quickly, reaching for the knife and fork that was next to his plate.

"Jack ... this is just a casual date, like most people do, not a fancy date like this," Anne snarled in irritation. She felt ignored by Jack who was currently eating his steak deliciously.

"This is also a normal date, right?" said Jack questioningly, shrugging his shoulders slowly.

"What normal date? Where do you see people watch a movie in the VIP room on a date and hmmmppp..."

Anne couldn't finish her words because suddenly Jack put a piece of meat into Anne's mouth. 

"Eat and don't be fussy. If you don't eat, I will eat you!" said Jack, quickly cutting Anne's words without guilt.
