I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Aaron, who knew that Rose liked teddy bears, had deliberately brought the stuffed animal as another surprise for Rose besides his own presence of course. 

"I didn't expect you to come to such a cold place, Aaron," said Rose again, hugging the doll Aaron gave her.

"So you think someone like me isn't supposed to come to this place?" Aaron asked, pretending to be sad.

"It's not like that. It's just that I can't believe a busy person like you would spare some time to come to a place like this. Usually people like you will be busy with a mountain of work," answered Rose quickly. 

"I'm a human being, Rose, don't forget that. Besides, it feels like I haven't been to a place like this in a long time. Too focused on work makes me miss many beautiful moments," said Aaron honestly.

Rose flinched at Aaron's words. For some reason, Rose felt that Aaron was very lonely. After all, a man like Aaron should live happily ever after, just like any other businessmen. 

Slowly, Rose took Aaron's hand and held it tightly. "It's never too late, Aaron. You can still enjoy all this like the others. I will accompany you to go to the places you like here."

"But I don't know where to go, I don't know any beautiful places in Tromso," Aaron answered honestly.

"It's okay, I'm beside you, Aaron," said Rose softly.

"Are you serious? You want to accompany me to the beautiful places in Tromso?" shouted Aaron in disbelief. "But what about your job?"

"I've worked for four days without a day off, so tonight and tomorrow I'm free. I will be a special tour guide for you for two days, Aaron," said Rose softly.

Aaron smiled at Rose's words. His heart suddenly warmed when he saw Rose was smiling sincerely at him. It wasn't long before they started enjoying the food that had just arrived, while Aaron and Rose continued to laugh at each other's jokes. This made Daniel, who was sitting not far from Aaron's chair, smile with emotion. He was happy to see Aaron smile again after getting to know Rose, after being rejected by Anne two years ago. 

"Hopefully this girl can be a medicine for the wound you got, Boss," Daniel said quietly, praying for Aaron sincerely. 

Even though Aaron was being chased by many beautiful girls like Candice Skyriver and Kimberly Henderson, Daniel somehow felt that these girls didn't suit Aaron. That was why all this time he had been trying his best to keep the girls away from Aaron, even though the girls were constantly looking for loopholes to get close to Aaron. 

Daniel's anger at being dragged away to Norway vanished when he saw Aaron with Rose. His intention to continue working in Norway was gone. He wanted to join in enjoying his short vacation this time.

< London, England >

Candice Skyriver, who had just returned from a photo shoot, was furious when she found out that Aaron was going abroad. She was very upset that no one had informed her about Aaron's departure this winter.

"You know who I am, right? I'm Candice Skyriver, the lover of Aaron Sean Connery, your boss. How dare you not tell me where Aaron went huh?!!" Candice screamed madly. 

"Sorry Miss, we really don't know. It's not that we don't want to tell you," answered a receptionist politely.

"Fuck!!! You think I'm a kid who will believe such cheap words? You are employees in this office, how could you not know where your boss is right now?" Candice said in annoyance. She was really angry this time because she felt neglected by Aaron. Even though she had deliberately taken time off to spend time with Aaron. 

"That's right, Miss Skyriver. No one knows where he went. We're telling you the truth," said a financial manager, trying to calm Candice down.

Crash!

Candice suddenly dropped the flower vase on the table.

"I can't believe you, you must be lying!!" she shouted back in a hoarse voice because of the loudness of her voice. 

Marissa and Kimberly Henderson, who were among the employees there, smiled when they saw Candice gone mad. Marissa calmly stepped up to Candice. 

"Being angry won't solve any problem, Miss Skyriver," said Marissa gently, trying to win over Candice

Candice, who was furious then turned to Marissa with a look full of anger. "Who are you?!"

"I'm Marissa Henderson, the marketing manager for Connery Corporation, Miss," Marissa answered, introducing herself. 

"Apparently you're just a lowly employee, so don't talk to me. I don't want to talk to someone like you," Candice said arrogantly, denying Marissa's kind intention.

Hearing Candice's words made Marissa's anger boil, but because she was currently in the office and had to maintain her image as an elegant woman, Marissa tried not to let her anger showed.

"Everything can be discussed nicely, Miss. Although I don't know where Mr. Aaron is at the moment, however, I know where Mr. Daniel is," said Marissa again in a half whisper to Candice, who had just passed her. 

Thump!

Candice immediately stopped her steps upon hearing Marissa's words. She then looked at Marissa without blinking.

Seeing Candice stop her steps, Marissa smiled. She then nodded her head signaling Candice to follow her. Without a word, Candice followed Marissa's steps towards the toilet. 

"Tell me what did you mean?" Candice asked impatiently.

Marissa looked at Candice with a sharp gaze. Even though her family was bankrupt but her prideful soul was still in Marissa. "I'll tell you if you're willing to pay me. That information is very valuable, Miss."

Hearing Marissa's words made Candice smile faintly.  Instead of doing what Marissa asked, the arrogant Candice actually walked closer to Marissa and suddenly ...

Slap!

Candice Skyriver flew her hand to Marissa's face with such force that it made Marissa stagger backwards due to the severity of Candice's slap. Blood started to ooze from the corner of her lips. 

"You lowly woman! How dare you say that with the future Mrs. Connery! Without your help, I would be able to get information on where Aaron is, so don't think you can drain my money in such a cheap way," Candice rebuked emotionally. She really took her anger out on Marissa this time, which was evident by the red mark of her palm on Marissa's cheek. 

After venting her frustration, Candice immediately left Marissa. She was busy taking out her cell phone and calling someone to find out the whereabouts of Daniel, Aaron's right hand. 

Meanwhile, Kimberly, who had been hiding behind a wall for a long while, immediately ran to her sister, whom Candice had just slapped.

"Sis, you're bleeding!!" Kimberly said in panic.

"Calm down, Kim, I'm fine. I'll avenge that trash model more than this. You'll see," answered Marissa vengefully as she wiped her bloody lips from a very strong slap from Candice Skyriver, the woman who had betrayed Aaron.
