Chapter 97 - Begining To Feel
After finishing buying Jack's fruit and then taking Anne to the flower shop according to their original purpose, Jack bought two large bags of fresh fruits. One for him and one for Anne of course. Even though at first Anne refused the fruits, she finally accepted it because Jack threatened to keep bothering her today if she didn't accept the fruit.
"Okay, you've arrived." Jack stopped the car when they reached Anne's flower shop.
"Thank you, I'm off. I have to quickly open the shop before Linda comes," said Anne quietly as she took off the seat belt that was attached to her body.
"Need my help, Anne?" Jack asked quietly.
Anne shook her head in response to Jack's question. She then opened the door to Jack's Bugatti Veyron to get off. Luckily, not many shops had opened, so no one knew that she just got out of the luxury supercar. Anne almost forgot about the bag of fruits if Jack didn't remind her.
"Okay, now you go, bye." Anne gently shooed Jack away.
"Bye," Jack replied briefly. Afterwards Jack returned to drive his car away from the shop to the highway to go to his new office.
Seeing Jack leave, Anne then smiled. She then stepped into the flower shop. She smiled when she saw that her car was still parked beautifully in front of the shop, after putting the bag of fruits on the chair, Anne then unlocked the flower shop. Skillfully, Anne made preparations. She then opened the door of her shop widely to let the air flow in, while she cleaned the windshield.
After almost twenty minutes in the shop, Linda came after she got off a bus. Her smile broke as she walked into the shop, where Anne was at the checkout counter checking for orders that came through the store's social media account. Arriving at the shop, Linda immediately put down her things and started working with Anne. The quiet shop was now full of laughter because of a joke Linda made when she saw Anne arranging a flower bouquet ordered by a buyer.
Meanwhile, in Northampton, Aaron and Daniel had just left the hotel where they were staying. Before leaving for London, he had come to BlueStar Ltd to say goodbye to Mr. Bob.
"It seems going back to London after a meeting has never been this fun, Daniel," Aaron said softly, as he chewed gum.
"For me it's the same, nothing is different," replied Daniel briefly.
"You bitch, oh yes I want to go to Anne's campus first. I want to visit her before going home, so wake me up when we arrive in London." Aaron told Daniel, as he closed his eyes in the car seat.
Daniel was silent and did not respond to Aaron's words. He knew that his master had different feelings for Anne, even though they had not been in a relationship. Because he didn't want to find trouble, Daniel focused on driving the car on the highway, he didn't want to disturb his master's sleep when he saw Aaron was already leaning on the seat. After traveling for one hour and thirty minutes, the car finally entered the city of London. As requested by Aaron before, he now drove the car to the UAL campus. When they arrived at the art campus, Daniel felt it was strange as the campus atmosphere was much quieter than the last day he went there. Out of curiosity, Daniel got out of the car and walked slowly to the horde of students who were gathered not far from where he stopped the car.
"Sorry to interrupt, you, I want to ask. Why does this campus look so quiet, huh?" Daniel asked quietly to the students in front of him.
"Oh yeah, it is quiet, the three favorite majors on this campus are going on vacation to Ireland for three days. What we heard was they got a gift from one of the CEOs of a large company who came yesterday during a performance, it's very annoying because we never had such an opportunity," replied a student curtly.
"I see. Those who join the show are going. Okay, thanks for the info, good morning." Daniel thanked him sincerely with a smile on his face at the student who answered the question. Shortly afterwards, he walked back to the car where Aaron was awake and was standing outside the car.
"What's wrong, Daniel, why did you stop outside?" Asked Aaron quickly when Daniel was in front of him.
"Apparently the students who took part in the performance went to Ireland, sir, they were all there for three days, sir," answered Daniel briefly.
"Vacation to Ireland in three days! How is that possible?" Aaron was shocked in disbelief at Daniel's words. His eyes widened.
"That's what I heard earlier from a student who is ..."
Daniel could not finish his words because Aaron suddenly got into the car. Not long after, he drove his car to go to Anne's apartment, leaving Daniel alone. Daniel, who couldn't do anything, could only surrender when Aaron left him. With slow steps, Daniel stood on the side of the road to stop a taxi.
Along the way to Anne's apartment, Aaron contacted Anne countless times. Indeed, while working on a large project with BlueStar Ltd, Aaron rarely contacted Anne because he wanted to concentrate on his work to get it done. Because of that, he didn't know anything about the news of the three days vacation to Ireland for UAL students, and Aaron didn't know that Jack had opened an office in London. He had really been very focused on his job these past few days.
"Anne, pick up, Anne. You're not going to Ireland right?" Aaron said softly, as he tried to contact Anne again for the umpteenth time.
Because Aaron couldn't wait, he finally chose not to contact Anne. He accelerated his car to get to Anne's apartment. Aaron tried to calm down and concentrate on driving his car. He wanted to come and see for himself whether Anne was going to Ireland or not. When Aaron was almost close to his destination, Aaron slowed down because the area was full of pedestrians, Aaron who was concentrating on the steering wheel suddenly slammed on his car brakes when he saw Anne's car parked not far from where he was today. Without thinking, Aaron immediately looked for an empty area to park his car. With great curiosity, Aaron got out and approached the black Honda Civic car. His confidence was even greater when he saw a teddy bear wearing a shirt with the British flag on the dashboard.
"Aaron!"
