Chapter 617 - Giselle's Belongings
< Cointrin International Airport Geneva, Switzerland 10 AM >
Anne did not open her eyes when the plane that took her back to Switzerland landed nicely at Cointrin Airport, Geneva. After traveling for almost 24 hours, Anne experienced jet lag, because Melbourne had a time difference of more than 10 hours with Switzerland, which made Anne feel that she was still in Melbourne, Australia.
Jack, who did not want to disturb his wife's sleep, finally chose to carry her out of the plane. He carefully took Anne to the car that was parked right under his private jet which was parked at the Muller family's private airport in Switzerland.
"Welcome, sir." Erick greeted Jack politely while lowering his head.
Jack smiled. He then stepped into the car that had been opened wide by Erick carefully so that Anne's head did not hit the hard car roof. Anne just squirmed a little when she was in the car, the headache that hit her really made her unable to open her eyes. Even though her sleeping position was not comfortable at the moment, she preferred to keep her eyes closed and Jack was very aware of that. Therefore, Jack had been smiling while gently patting Anne's back so she could fall back asleep.
"Well, did Benjamin Calum give up?" Jack asked Erick softly as the car started to leave the airport.
"For now the man looks like he has given up, sir, but we are still wary of him. Because until now Benjamin Calum is still with the mastermind of this chaos, Leonardo Ganke," Erick answered seriously.
Jack pursed his lips. "That fucking lion, I should have just smashed him to the root last year. I'm regret for being too kind to him."
"I'm afraid they will make another plan to attack us, sir. Because right now everything feels very calm," said Erick quietly. He spoke lowly as he was afraid he would wake Anne who was sleeping on his master's lap.
"Don't worry, Erick, even if they attack me again, I will face them head-on. I'm not going to play anymore now. Once again that damn lion is trying to harass my family and I'll make him poor overnight," said Jack with determination. Both of his eyes widened perfectly as he spoke, showing how angry he was right now.
Jack's words stopped when Anne moved again. It seemed that Jack's voice was too loud to make Anne feel uncomfortable. Seeing the madam was not calm, Erick chose to end his conversation with the master.
The convoy of cars that picked up Jack and Anne finally arrived at the mansion. As usual, dozens of maids in matching uniforms lined up neatly to welcome their master at the door. Feeling that the car that was carrying her had stopped, Anne finally opened her eyes slowly.
"Are we there yet?" Anne asked quietly, trying to sit up.
Jack smiled gently. "Yeah, we're here."
"Okay, let's get out but I'm going to sleep right away. My head still hurts," said Anne hoarsely. The jetlag was really torturous.
"Whatever you want to do I won't stop you."
Anne pursed her lips. She tried to get out of the car through the right side of the door as there was already Jack reaching out to her from outside. She stood long enough in front of Jack, while taking in a fresh breath of air which made her feel so much better. Luckily, Jack recruited a professional gardener, so that his garden was now well-arranged with dozens of oxygen-producing trees, so that the air around the mansion becomes fresher.
"Are you done?" Jack asked lovingly.
Anne opened her eyes which had been closed for a moment when she took a breath of fresh air. "I'm done."
Jack then put his arm around Anne's waist as they entered the house. As long as Anne and Jack walked, the maids, who were looking down, didn't dare to lift their heads. They kept their heads down until the master and madam actually entered the house. The quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the house did not make the husband and wife suspicious at all. The two of them continued to walk up to the second floor hugging each other towards the main room in the mansion.
"Have you told Master what Luis did to him, Erick?" asked the butler in an almost inaudible voice.
Eric shook his head. "No, I haven't had time to tell him yet. Madam was sleeping in the car because of jetlag, so I haven't reported what Luis did to them."
The butler named Fabio took a deep breath. "What if they got angry, Erick? Oh, we're all so worried that Master would lash his anger to us."
"Just pray, Fabio. Hopefully Master and Madam won't be angry if it's related to Luis," Erick said quietly, sounding frustrated.
Fabio and several other maids lowered their heads. They could now only accept the anger of the master and madam which could explode at any time. Erick who couldn't do much also didn't seem to say much. He was also in the same position as the servants. Luis Cobb was really getting them all in trouble at the moment, really big trouble.

< Muller Finance International >
Alice had started working again today. The female staff who she had scolded a few days ago looked very surprised when she saw that she had actually filled the position of secretary in place of Giselle.
Actually yesterday Alice had come to the office to tidy up the room that Giselle had used for the last two years. She felt uncomfortable with all the furniture in the room. So she asked a worker to change the wallpaper in the room to the way she wanted it and replace Giselle's desk.
"Excuse me, Miss."
An office girl greeted Alice who was setting her desk.
"Alice, just call my name directly, you don't have to use Miss frills like that. I don't like it," Alice answered with a friendly smile.
The office girl was so shocked at Alice's words that her eyes opened wide.
Seeing the expression of the office girl standing in front of her, Alice smiled amusedly. "Don't be like that, okay, tell me what's wrong?"
"I-it's this, Miss... uh Alice, yesterday I was tidying this room and I found these things. It seems like this is an important item so I separate it," replied the middle-aged office girl with a stutter as she put down a small box containing some personal items that Giselle had left behind.
Alice stared at the small cardboard box while narrowing her eyes. "This belongs to Giselle Allen, the latter's former secretary?"
"Yes, I'm afraid this is an important item, so I give it to you," the office girl replied back in fear.
Alice grabbed a flashy pink flash drive in the box. "Thanks for these items I received."
The office girl then left Alice's room to continue her work again. At first, Alice was not curious about the contents of the flash drive. However, when she saw the initials of the name 'JACK My Love', she saw clearly on the flash drive, Alice finally decided to see what was in the flash drive.
"You crazy woman!!" Alice screamed spontaneously with her fists tightly clenched on the table.
