I'll Teach You, Marianne.

All the way to the office, Alan smiled as he remembered his grandfather's words which he thought didn't make sense, while Nicholas who was driving the car was silent and didn't say anything and he chose to focus on the steering wheel. The clear sky suddenly turned dark. Suddenly, a loud thunder rumbled across the sky. 

"It's raining," Alan mumbled softly as he noticed water droplets started pouring from the sky. 

"It's still spring, sir, so it's natural that it still rains a lot," Nicholas replied in response to Alan's words.

"When I was in an accident two years ago, what month was it, Nick?" asked Alan suddenly.

Thump!

Nicholas' face immediately paled at the master's question. "Why do you ask that, sir?"

"I don't know, what I heard from Grandpa was that day it was raining like this too," Alan answered quietly.

"That terrible accident has passed, sir, don't remember it again. Besides, now you are fine, let it pass, sir," Nicholas said again, trying to end the discussion about the accident that happened to Alan.

Alan pursed his lips at the assistant's words. "You're right, Nick, it's just that when I see a lot of water like this I feel like I'm automatically transported to the past, where Grandpa always said was the time I had the accident, so you better drive the car with care, Nick."

"Yes sir, I'm…!!!

Screech!

The sound of wheels colliding with asphalt sounded very loud when Nicholas suddenly stepped on the brakes. Luckily, Alan wore his seat belt behind so he didn't fall forward when the car stopped suddenly.

"Nick!!!"

"Sorry sir, there is a woman in front of the car who crossed suddenly, sir," Nicholas said stuttering to tell Alan the truth. "Are you okay, sir?"

"I'm fine. Just a little surprised," Alan answered briefly as he adjusted his seat. 

"Thank God, once again I apologize, sir." 

"Forget it, Nick. Oh, right, you said there was a woman who just crossed, didn't you? How's that woman Nick?" shouted Alan suddenly remembering the existence of the woman Nicholas mentioned earlier.

"Oh my God!!"

Nicholas immediately unbuckled his seatbelt and immediately got out of the car to look for the woman who had crossed the road carelessly, because he didn't saw the woman again after he suddenly hit the brakes. 

"Jesus!!! Miss, hey...are you okay?" Nicholas screamed in panic when he saw the woman was sitting right in front of the car, covering her ears with an overturned and damaged umbrella beside her.

Alan, who was curious to see Nicholas' expression, got off the car and was surprised to see a woman was sitting on the street. 

"Miss, are you not..."

Alan couldn't finish his words when the woman he was holding in his hand raised her face, he was very surprised to see the woman he met a few days ago.

Bam!

" Ahhhh!!!!" 

The woman, who apparently was Anne, was unable to hide her fear. She immediately hugged Alan, who was squatting in front of her, so that Alan's clothes were wet when she hugged him.

"Jeez!! This woman is really..."

Nicholas, who seemed very surprised to see what Anne had done to Alan, immediately grabbed Anne's hand from Alan's neck and pushed her back, making Anne fell with her elbows landed on the asphalt.

"Ouch...!"

"You ignorant woman, how dare you do such a thing! Who do you think my master is!!" Nicholas scolded emotionally at Anne, who was seen wincing in pain because her hand was injured. 

Alan, who was still very surprised by being suddenly hugged by Anne, then got up and calmed Nicholas down. "Let's go, let it go Nick. Look at my wet shirt." 

"Oh my God, come on, sir, get in. I'll take you faster to the office," said Nicholas panicked when he saw Alan's clothes were dirty and wet from Anne's embrace. 

Without a word, Alan then got into the car, leaving Anne who was still sitting holding her injured right hand. Meanwhile, Nicholas, who was annoyed with Anne because she was considered to have done one of the lowest acts by directly hugging Alan like before, stared at her without blinking with a look of disgust.

"Your way is very cheap, Miss, but remember Mr. Alan is not an easy person. He will not be able to melt with the way used by so many women," Nicholas said quietly insulting Anne. 

After speaking like that, Nicholas got into the car after the master. He let Anne sit on the asphalt in a drenched condition. Soon, Nicholas stepped on the gas pedal and left Anne, who was still lowering her head. Being out in the open with the rain getting heavier made Anne scared. Moreover, there were still lightning struck a few times up in the sky. Finally, a loud thunder was crashing again. Anne could only cover her ears while screaming loudly without changing her sitting position. Anne was really scared right now, she didn't seem too afraid of lightning all this time. But that was because she was in the room, but right now, it was different when she was in the middle of a torrential rain alone with thunder clapping above her head. Her fear returned. All she could do was cry while covering her ears. 

From the rearview mirror, Alan could clearly see behind how Anne was still sitting on the side of the road without changing her position by continuing to cover her ears, even when the lightning was heard several times, it was clear how Anne's body fell from shock. Alan's eyes narrowed. He felt that the girl they had just left was really afraid of lightning, because since Anne hugged him earlier, Alan was thinking hard. For some reason, he felt that what the girl he had just left did was real, and not out of pretense. He felt the girl who had just hugged him was really scared even though he didn't know what made the girl suddenly hugged him quickly like before. And now he finally knew what scared the girl. 

"Stop, Nick, turn your car around," said Alan suddenly. 

"What's wrong, sir?" Nicholas asked in confusion while looking in the rearview mirror.

"You'll find out later, okay! Just turn the car around," said Alan flatly. 

Without further delay, Nicholas then turned the car around and returned to the original place, following the instructions given by the young master. When he almost arrived near Anne who was still sitting on the side of the road with her hands still covering her ears, Nicholas stopped the car. But Alan didn't get off the car right away. He wanted to make sure one more time, whether the girl he was staring at without blinking was really scared or not. Not long after, Alan and Nicholas was staring at Anne when suddenly the lightning hit the earth again with a very loud sound. Anne, who was crying, immediately screamed loudly. She really wanted to get up from where she was right now, but her legs felt very weak, she really couldn't hold her own body weight. 

Alan's chest hurt when he saw a red liquid dripping from the hands of the girl he was looking at. Without thinking, he then got out of the car and rushed to the girl who was still covering her ears with her hands. 

"Get up," said Alan quietly as he was in front of Anne. 

Although Alan's voice was not too loud, Anne could hear him clearly. She slowly lifted her face and was surprised to see the man whose face was very similar to Jack, extended his hand and reached out to her. 

"Jack, did you come to pick up..."

"Hey Miss!!!!"
