Chapter 41 - The Unexpected Meeting
Aaron, who couldn't sleep all night after returning from UAL, was seen sitting at the dining table. There, a variety of British-style food was served in front of him, which was great since they were all his favorite food. But he has been sitting on his chair for nearly forty minutes and he didn't even touch a single food, only a sip of water that had entered his body. Thinking about the incident at UAL yesterday annoyed him, he had canceled all his promises to come to campus that Monday. However, everything was in vain because he couldn't achieve his goal. Anne, who he wanted to meet so badly, was not at the campus.
The large clock on the wall in the living room chimed so badly that it broke the silence in the mansion, but Aaron still didn't budge. He was still in his chair without touching anything, as if his soul was no longer inside his body. Sitting there like a corpse.
"Good morning," Daniel said softly to the waiter who opened the door for him.
"Morning, sir," replied the servant quickly.
"Where is Mr. Aaron?" asked Daniel as he walked into the house into the living room.
"At the dinner table, he has been sitting there for almost an hour but he doesn't eat anything," replied the waiter who has worked at Aaron's house for more than twenty years in a friendly manner.
"Ok, thanks for the info, Jully," said Daniel briefly as he walked quickly to the dining table, when he arrived at the dining room Daniel took a deep breath when he saw that all the food didn't move a single inch from its place. It looked like Aaron didn't even bother to eat even a bite of it.
Just as Jully said before, he effortlessly grabbed a fork and stuck it into a piece of turkey meat, and put it in his mouth quickly. While chewing, Daniel glanced occasionally at Aaron, who still didn't move at all, it was such a golden opportunity for Daniel as he could enjoy Aaron's breakfast voraciously. After nearly fifteen minutes, Daniel ended his eating because his stomach was no longer able to store that much delicious food.
"Are you full?" Asked Aaron, suddenly startling at Daniel who was wiping his mouth using a handkerchief.
Hearing Aaron's words made Daniel choked even though there was nothing in his mouth, he quickly grabbed the glass filled with water in front of him and immediately drank it by emptying the glass. Seeing how Daniel panicky drunk the water had made Aaron smile without speaking, he then got up from his chair and walked away from Daniel who was still in his chair. He walked right to the exit door. When he realized Aaron was leaving, Daniel immediately got up from his chair and chased his master to the front yard where his car was parked and ready to take them away.
"If you can't go any faster then don't blame me if I'm going to find another driver, Daniel," Aaron shouted loudly as he got into the car.
"No, please don't do it!!! I need this job!" shouted Daniel loudly, he accelerated his footsteps towards the driver's seat.
Seeing Daniel running around made Aaron smile, Aaron then closed his eyes while leaning back on the chair after fastening his seat belt. Aaron let Daniel get ready first.
"And where exactly we are going?"
"UAL," Aaron replied quickly interrupting Daniel's words.
"Going to that campus, again? Didn't we just return from the campus last night? Then why do we have to go there so early again?" asked Daniel, confused.
"You know Daniel, a long time ago when a servant tried to disobey the master, he would have been beheaded right away. Do you want me to do the same thing?" asked Aaron back without opening his eyes.
"Such a cruel thing to say! Okay then, we are going to that campus again now. But don't blame me if you will meet those bees again, don't even expect me to help you," Daniel replied curtly as he stepped on the gas of his car. Following Aaron's order, it didn't take long for Aaron's favorite black Roll-Royce Phantom Drophead to leave the large courtyard of Aaron's residence driving to the best art campus in England.
On the way to the UAL campus, there was no conversation between Aaron and Daniel. The driver was so concentrated on driving. Initially, Daniel was only Aaron's personal assistant, but he also made Daniel his driver now. He did not entrust his life to anyone other than Daniel, who he had known for a very long time and his loyalty was tested. However, Aaron didn't hesitate to scold Daniel and he didn't feel bad for doing it so often. Fortunately, Daniel was never angry because he knew well how's Aaron's character. Someone who was so easily triggered and got angry even for trivial things.
"This time I will definitely meet you, Anne, I will find you and ..."
Brakkk
All the items in the car were thrown forward when Daniel suddenly hit the brakes. The sudden brake had made Aaron almost fell forward. Luckily, he already wore the seat belt properly so the embarrassing incident didn't have to happen.
"Fuckkk !!! Have you lost your driving skills, Daniel?!!!" Aaron shouted loudly.
"Sorry sir, I had to hit the brake suddenly because there was a car in front of us that immediately cut the road and now the car has stopped in front of us," Daniel replied softly as he tried to quickly grab a gun under his seat.
Aaron's anger faded when he heard Daniel's words, he slowly turned his gaze towards the black Jeep Wrangler Rubicon that did cut Daniel's line. Without speaking, Aaron removed his seat belt and got out of the car towards the black Jeep with firm steps. However, when he passed the car, Aaron's steps stopped right away when he saw the Jeep driver got out of his car.
"Jackson Muller," Aaron muttered softly when he saw the figure of a man standing in front of him.
Jackson, who just arrived in England last night, smiled at Aaron while taking off his sunglasses and walked slowly towards where Aaron was standing.
"Long time no see Mr. Aaron Sean Connery," Jack said pleasantly, stretching out his hand toward Aaron.
