Chapter 339 - [Bonus ]A New Destiny
Holding back the drowsiness, Paul drove the car to the airport to drop Linda and Anne off. When they arrived at the airport, several other students had started to arrive. Not long after, all of Anne's and Linda's classmates had arrived. They all started to enter the airport area because the plane was about to take off. After making sure that Anne and Linda really flew, Paul returned to the apartment alone by driving Anne's car. For the next few weeks, he would be busy alone at the flower shop. So he rushed home to prepare to go to the shop.
On the plane that was taking them to Luxembourg, Anne's feelings were mixed up. For some reason, she suddenly felt very uneasy on this trip, while when she traveled to other countries before she never experienced such strange feelings at all. This was the first time that Anne had a strange feeling that was churning in her chest.
"What's wrong with you, Anne?" Linda asked softly when she felt Anne's change in attitude.
Anne, who was staring at the clouds, immediately turned to Linda. "I don't know, Linda, I don't feel very calm."
"It's okay, Anne, we've done this a lot before. I should be the one to worry about this trip, not you. Luxembourg uses German as one of their national languages besides Luxembourg and French. And you're German, so there's nothing that you need to be afraid of, Anne," said Linda again with a big smile.
Anne smiled at Linda's words. She then turned her face back to the window to watch the clouds. Even though it would only take 1 hour and 15 minutes, Anne chose to close her eyes for a moment, hoping that the strange feeling that was bothering her would go away. While Linda, who was already very excited to arrive in Luxembourg, seemed to be reading some of the interesting places in Luxembourg from a flyer she had previously received at the airport. Linda was completely fascinated by the beauty of some of the castles that were still preserved in Luxembourg.
After traveling for almost 1 hour 15 minutes, the plane that was carried by several UAL students majoring in fashion designer landed smoothly. One by one, the students got off the plane and headed to the airport lobby area where there was already someone sent by Professor Gilbert who would take them to the hotel chosen by the campus. So for the next 4 weeks or so, they had to stay in the hotel and were not allowed to leave the hotel without Professor Gilbert's permission. If they violated that important rule, Professor Gilbert would immediately give them a D, which meant that they would have to do research again next semester and this, of course, would be a waste of time and the costs were not cheap.
"Wow... what a beautiful city this is!"
"Excellent Luxembourg! Yeah!"
"Ah, I can't wait to get started on the streets seeing the fashion of the people of this country."
"Yeah me too, they must be really awesome."
"I heard that there are a lot of well-established men in this city who are still single. Who knows we might meet one of them! Hehe."
"Wow, really? Then I'm really excited about this."
Hearing the conversation of Gabriella and her friends, Anne only smiled faintly. After knowing Gabriella for more than two years, Anne was not surprised at all with her attitude. After Anne left Ganke Inc. Production two years ago, Gabriella and Isabel got a promotion. They both got a pretty big salary. Together with Edward, who was still surviving, the two girls finally finished their internship at the German company and they were even allowed to apply for work again at the company after they had graduated. Shortly after Anne left, the animated film that Anne had taken care of was finally launched in almost all cinemas in the world, the results were very good. The film about the struggle of a poor child also gained multiple benefits. Leon's name shone even more which automatically made Steffi as his wife famous too. Because they often went together to various award shows, Leon and Steffi also got the title as the most harmonious married couple, which of course made many people jealous.
Because of her rising popularity, Steffi automatically stopped bothering Anne. She didn't care about Anne anymore. Because for Steffi, Anne was just a small fly that didn't matter anymore in her eyes, even Leon now didn't seem interested in Anne anymore. That was why, for the last two years, Anne's life had been quite calm. Leon only came to see Anne shortly after the news of Jack's death was announced. He arrogantly offered Anne the opportunity to be his woman with millions of dollars. Anne, who was grieving the loss of Jack, was speechless when Leon humiliated her like that. What Anne did that time was just to go away from Leon without a word. Two medium buses that carried the UAL students had finally arrived at a quite comfortable hotel in the center of Luxembourg. Many students were surprised to see the hotel chosen by the campus this time. They did not expect this time the campus gave them a good place to stay, unlike last semester where they had to live in an ordinary apartment flat which made many of them protested, especially Gabriella and her friends.
"Our hotel is great, Anne," Linda whispered to Anne honestly.
"Yes," answered Anne curtly.
"Let's go, I can't wait to see our room!" Linda said excitedly as she pulled Anne's hand towards the hotel lobby, following her friends who had entered the beautiful hotel to ask for their respective hotel keys.
After waiting in line for a long time, Linda finally managed to get her and Anne's room key. They were on the third floor, which was the lowest floor among Anne's other friends. However, this was not a problem for Linda, as long as she and Anne were ready to be placed on any floor. By using the elevator, the students then went up to their respective rooms. Because Linda and Anne were on the lowest floor, they quickly reached their destination. Together with several other students, Anne and Linda started looking for their rooms. Linda's smile widened when she managed to find their room which was at the far end.
"Don't run, Linda, this isn't a race," said Anne quietly when she saw Linda running towards their room.
"I can't wait to get inside, Anne." Linda shouted quite loudly in response to Anne's words.
Not long after that, Linda arrived in her room and rushed in after sticking the hotel key card. Linda screamed hysterically when she saw the view from her room, as she could see the streets of Luxembourg and some beautiful paths around the park.
"We're lucky, Anne! The view from our room is amazing!" Linda said over and over again.
"Yeah, we're lucky," replied Anne flatly without any expression.
Linda, who was at the window, immediately looked at Anne, who was opening her suitcase, as she wanted to immediately tidy her clothes into the closet and take out some of her personal belongings, including her laptop and camera and some important files. Linda couldn't believe that Anne was about to get to work, even though they still had the whole evening to rest.
"Come on, Anne, we still have plenty of time to relax," said Linda in disbelief when she saw Anne started checking her camera.
"Yeah I know. I just want to prepare everything. So tomorrow morning when we start working, everything will be ready," answered Anne quickly.
Linda folded her arms across her chest quickly. "I can't believe I know you so well, Anne."
Anne just smiled at the words of her best friend. She went back to make sure all her work tools were fine. After making sure that the camera was working properly, Anne then went into the bathroom to wash her face to freshen up. Before long, Anne returned to the bed and sat in front of the dressing table. Anne tied her long hair in a ponytail and wore some sun block. Linda, who could already guess what Anne would do when she wore sun block, moved quickly. She grabbed her bag and put her cell phone in it and changed into more comfortable shoes and immediately stood next to Anne.
"Linda ..."
"Ah don't talk too much, I know your plan. Come on, I'll go with you," said Linda curtly, cutting Anne's words.
"You are truly my love, Linda, so let's go for a walk!" said Anne excitedly.
Linda stuck out her tongue in response to Anne's words, which Anne smiled guiltlessly at. Not long after that, they both came out of the room and prepared to explore the city of Luxembourg, a city that would bring a new destiny for Anne.
