I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Just as Daniel's car left St Mary's Hospital, Jack's car got in. Driving his own car, Jack was impatient and immediately jumped out of his luxury car as soon as it stopped, while Erick, who was sitting beside him, looked very pale. All the way, Jack was driving his car like a mad man. Jack was very worried about Anne who didn't pick up the phone.

As soon as the master entered the hospital, Erick immediately got out of the car for a breath of fresh air. Jack was running towards the reception desk.

"Welcome to St Mary's Hospital, can I ..."

"Anne, ah, Marianne, is there a patient with that name in this hospital?" An impatient Jack immediately cut off the words of the beautiful receptionist at St Mary's Hospital.

"No sir," replied the receptionist quickly.

Bam!

Jack hit the reception desk pretty hard.

"You haven't checked it yet, how come you know her name isn't listed?" shouted Jack loudly. His emotion was provoked by the words of the receptionist in front of him at the moment.

"I know because only a few minutes ago there were two men who came to me, and they also asked me about Miss Anne or Marianne, sir. Both men were as worried as you," replied the receptionist frightened.

"There were two men who are looking for Anne before?" asked Jack, slowly repeating the words of the receptionist in front of him.

"Yes sir."

Jack stared intently at the young receptionist in front of him. "What do those two people look like?"

"Handsome, neat, wearing expensive clothes like you and..."

"And what!!!" Jack asked impatiently.

"Good and fragrant," replied the receptionist honestly.

Jack clenched his fists that were on the reception desk in annoyance. He was really angry right now. Without asking further, as if he already knew who was also looking for Anne, Jack turned around and prepared to leave. But when he only took three steps, he suddenly froze and turned back to stare at the blonde-haired receptionist sharply.

"If there is no patient named Anne in this hospital, then how can I get a notification that there is some money out of the account in Marianne's name at this hospital? Can you explain it, Miss?" asked Jack quietly as he showed his cell phone to the receptionist, showing proof of SMS banking from Anne's bank account.

The receptionist looked at Jack's phone seriously.

"Here, but wait. Who are you to Miss Marianne? How can you read her transaction?"

Jack's anger dimmed hearing the words of the receptionist standing in front of him. "I'm the fiancé of this girl named Marianne, that's why I know all the transactions she does. I came to this place because I couldn't contact her since an hour ago. Therefore I immediately came to this place as soon as I received this notification on my cell phone."

"Oh so you are Miss Marianne's fiancé, okay I will inform you. So about two and a half hours ago a couple came, the man was bleeding from being stabbed by a knife after being robbed. While his girlfriend was panicking, I heard that the girl was talking on the phone with someone, but for sure the girl called Anne's name many times in a panic. Not long after that, a girl came. She went straight to this place and asked me about the victim and..."

"Stabbed? Robbed? Who was hurt?" Jack stammered.

"A young man named Paul and the girl who took him named Linda..."

"Paul was injured?! How is he? Where is he now?" asked Jack loudly interrupting the receptionist's words again.

"Because the stab wound to the young man named Paul was not too worrying, he was finally allowed to go home after receiving treatment for 30 minutes. According to the nurse on duty, this patient insisted on going home and did not want to be hospitalized and it was Miss Marianne who paid all the medical expenses. The patient name is Paul, and he was accompanied by Miss Linda, sir," the receptionist replied back.

Jack was silent for a while, digesting the sentence after sentence that came out of the lips of the receptionist in front of him at the moment. He was still very surprised that Paul and Linda had an accident.

"Police, are there any cops investigating this case?" Jack asked again.

The receptionist shook her head. "No sir, no police have arrived. It seems they haven't reported this matter to the authorities."

Jack's jaw tightened. He looked angry and annoyed when he found out that this matter had not been taken care of by the police. Not long after that, he left the reception desk to his car which was parked in front of the hospital. Without a word, Jack then got into the car. He sat in the back seat because Erick was already in the driver's seat.

"We're going to Linda's apartment now, Erick," said Jack flatly expressionlessly.

"Linda? Who is Linda?" asked Erick in confusion. He was not very familiar with the name Linda.

"Anne's friend, have you forgotten? I have shared the address on your cell phone, if my guess is correct, Anne is with them at the moment," answered Jack without pause, his eyes were gleaming with anger.

Realizing that something was wrong with the master, Erick did not dare to speak anymore. He then drove the car to Linda's apartment whose address was connected to the car's GPS. After the car drove down the highway, Jack then called the police. He spoke very seriously and asked the police to come to Linda's apartment right now, although he was not sure if Anne and Linda and Paul, who were victims of the robbery, were in the apartment, but Jack had ordered the police to go to the address he was visiting as well. From the driver's seat, Erick remained silent. He now knew why his master's expression had changed after leaving St Mary's Hospital. Not wanting to make his master even more upset, Erick then increased the speed of his car. During the meeting, Jack received a message from his subordinate that he ordered to spy on Anne at Ganke Inc. Production. His subordinate said that Anne had left the office in a hurry. However, because Jack's subordinates disguised themselves as a janitor, he could not provide more detailed information and this made Jack uneasy and immediately looked for Anne directly with Anne's SMS banking transaction which was directly connected to his cell phone.

The taxi carrying Anne, Linda, and Paul finally arrived at their destination. Anne and Linda carefully carried Paul into the wheelchair that Anne had bought at the hospital while waiting for the taxi earlier. She didn't want Paul to move much for fear that the wound would open again. After paying the taxi fare, Anne and Lind then pushed Paul into the apartment.

"I'm sorry, Anne, we always bother you," said Linda quietly while in the elevator.

"Yes Miss, we-we always got you in trouble," added Paul quickly.

Anne waved her hand in the air. "Don't talk nonsense. You better shut up now and don't think too much. Forget this incident, so you both get well soon, especially you, Paul. Are you sure you don't want to be hospitalized?"

"No Miss, back when I was living down the street, I've had even worse injuries than this," replied Paul curtly.

"But that's different, Paul, not with..."

"Seriously, Miss, I'm fine." Paul again interrupted Anne's words quickly.

Anne couldn't utter a single word after hearing Paul's words. She didn't want to force her employee if he didn't want to. Since the elevator had reached their destination, they exited carefully and walked to Linda's apartment unit, which had been left empty for almost three weeks.

After entering the apartment, Anne helped Linda tidy up the bed, so Paul could lie down. The minimalist studio type apartment didn't have a lot of stuff so it looked spacious and quite comfortable. After Anne and Linda had made the bed and then supported Paul to lie on the bed, Linda carefully laid Paul's body on their bed. Her eyes were still very red and swollen.

"I'm fine, don't you worry, Linda," Paul said quietly.

"Well you said, sob... boo hoo ..." Linda's tears broke again. She was crying on Paul's chest, as he laid there on the bed.

Anne lifted her face up, she didn't want her tears to fall. Seeing the intimacy in the simplicity of Paul and Linda made Anne happy too. Because she didn't want to disturb her best friend, Anne then decided to prepare food. Because Linda's apartment was empty for a long time, there was no stock whatsoever in the refrigerator, so she decided to shop for some groceries at the supermarket in the apartment lobby. Anne carefully grabbed her bag and rushed towards the door, leaving Linda and Paul to go to the convenience store. Anne had completely forgotten about her main responsibilities at the office. She also didn't remember her cell phone, which has completely died due to running out of power. It was one of Anne's traits that couldn't be changed easily was that she still cared too much about other people, and Jack didn't like this character of Anne. Because according to Jack, Anne would be easily used by people if she continued to be too nice like that.
