I'll Teach You, Marianne.

< Ritz Paris Hotel >

It was unusual for Anne to be still asleep at 10 in the morning. Usually, even though she only slept for two hours, she would still wake up at 8 in the morning. But this time, until the sun was high, she was still asleep and Jack didn't have the heart to wake her up. Jack took a shower and changed into clean clothes that Rudolf, the owner of the pizzeria, had given him. Rudolph cared enough to find clean clothes for him and Anne. Rudolf had come early to the hotel to drop off the clothes ordered by Jack. Although initially it was difficult to find clothes that Jack asked, but he managed to get the clothes after waking one of his friends who owned some boutiques.

After Jack had done showering, Anne was still asleep. Again, Jack didn't mind. He preferred to reply to dozens of messages from Erick and Nicholas, who were protesting because they weren't invited to Paris. 

"Please enjoy your meal, sir," said the hotel clerk politely.

"Thank you," Jack answered simply with a smile. 

After doing their job, the two hotel clerks who had just delivered the food immediately left the VIP room to continue with their other work. The smell of the food on the table managed to wake Anne up from her sleep. She slowly opened her eyes when the smell of the best beef reached her senses. 

"Ouch...!"

"Anne, are you awake?"

Anne turned to Jack and smiled faintly. "I'm thirsty."

Hearing Anne's words made Jack move quickly. He grabbed the water that was on the dining table and helped Anne to drink carefully. 

"Finished?"

"Yeah, that's enough."

"Okay, now you try to sit down and wait for a while, and then take a shower and then we'll eat together," said Jack softly as he smoothed Anne's messy hair. 

Anne looked at Jack with a rudimentary look. "What's the time now?"

"Nearly half past eleven."

"Oh my God!" Anne immediately covered her mouth with both hands quickly. 

Jack chuckled. "Why are you so surprised like that?"

"We have to go back, Jack, we have guests at home. It would be very rude of us to leave them."

"Erick and Nicholas have taken care of it. Right now even Aaron's girlfriend is doing yoga with Alice, and you know Grandpa is very happy to see so many people in the house. So don't worry," said Jack softly, trying to calm Anne. 

Anne took a deep breath. She looked calm now. Anne felt bad for leaving Aaron and Rose at home, while she was the current hostess and it felt very unethical to just leave when guests were visiting. 

Seeing Anne daydreaming made Jack excited. He slowly took an aim at Anne with his smart phone and captured several photos of Anne, with no makeup and had just woken up. Hearing a 'click' sound, Anne immediately turned around and was shocked to see her husband was stealing her barefaced photos. Without a word, Anne immediately tried to grab Jack's cell phone, but she lost quickly and couldn't take her husband's cell phone.

"Delete it, Jack!! I must be like a witch right now," Anne grumbled in a rising voice.

Jack shook his head. He then showed her a beautiful photo of her daydreaming. "See? You look very beautiful here."

"What a lie! I hate you. Quickly delete it, Jack!!"

"I'm serious, I'll keep this and I'll enlarge it and put it in the living room."

"Jack!!!"

Jack laughed out loud. He loved teasing Anne like that. But soon, Jack ended his joke and asked Anne to take a shower as it was already noon. At the moment, Anne was only wearing pajamas without wearing anything else underneath and of course it was the result of Jack's actions which made Anne sleep almost naked.

Holding back a little pain in her head, Anne walked towards the bathroom, trying to walk calmly so as not to worry Jack. After making it to the bathtub which had been prepared by Jack previously, Anne immediately went in and soaked her body. The effect of the bath salt that had been mixed by Jack a moment ago made Anne relax. The pain in her head slowly faded, especially now that hot water bubbles appear in the bathtub, which gave a pleasant sensation. 

Jack really knew how to pamper a woman. 

When Anne was taking a bath, Jack was surprised by a message from Erick saying that Leonardo Ganke and his assistant were currently at the gate of the mansion. Jack immediately contacted Erick to speak more clearly. 

"Hold on! Don't let that bastard in. Just shoot his legs so he's paralyzed." 

Anne, who had just come out of the bathroom, frowned when she heard Jack's words. 

"What's the problem, Jack?" asked Anne quietly, startling Jack who had just hung up with Erick.

"No, it's nothing. Have you finished bathing? What's the rush? Don't you like the smell of the bath salt I used in the bathtub?" Jack asked repeatedly. 

"I'm hungry, so I don't want to stay long," answered Anne honestly. 

Jack chuckled. He then walked over to Anne, who was still wrapping her hair in a small towel.

"Let's dry your hair first, then eat," said Jack quietly as he wrapped his arms around Anne's waist.

"You want to help me?"

"Sure! Can you dry your long hair by yourself?"

Anne shook her head with a smile. Jack then touched the tip of Anne's nose in exasperation and led Anne to the dressing table. Without speaking, Jack immediately let go of the towel that was curling Anne's hair and immediately grabbed the hair dryer that Anne had prepared. Jack quickly started to dry Anne's long hair. Ever since they met at Newcastle Upon Tyne, Jack had loved Anne's long, thick hair. He was always the first one to protest when Anne cut her hair. For Jack, women looked more perfect with long hair. 

"Don't cut your hair, please," Jack said quietly as he brushed Anne's half-dry hair. 

"But my head is heavy and dizzy lately, Jack, I think my hair is too heavy," replied Anne timidly as she looked at Jack through the mirror in front of her and prepared to face Jack's wrath. 

As Anne had expected, Jack looked directly at her through the mirror. "We're going to the doctor, but don't cut your hair," he said coldly with emphasis.

"Well that's that then."

"Yes, what is that?"

Anne took a deep breath. "Well, no haircut then."

"Good, it's still morning Anne. Don't look for trouble," said Jack quickly, he went back to his job of drying Anne's hair perfectly. 

After making sure that Anne's hair was completely dry, Jack gave the clothes Rudolf had prepared for Anne. Anne, who was already hungry, did not say much when she received the clothes from Jack. Without any suspicion, Anne put it on quickly. The clothes Rudolf gave her was a peach-colored knee-length mini dress with a small strap on the shoulder. In the black bag previously given by Jack, Anne did not find a bra. As a result, she used a dress without a bra and it made her look really sexy and seductive. At first, Jack didn't realize it until finally when Anne sat quietly in front of him, Jack's eyes immediately widened when he saw Anne's cleavage was clearly visible. 

"Anne, wear your clothes properly!!"

Anne, who was eating quietly, slowly raised her face and looked at Jack who was staring at her without blinking. "Isn't this the clothes you prepared?"

"Yeah but... the bra... you don't wear a bra?"

"Ask yourself, isn't this what you want." 

Jack's jaw instantly hardened. "Fuck you, Rudolf!!!"
