Chapter 145 - The Reason Behind The Meeting
Chapter 145 - The Reason Behind The Meeting
Anne drove her car with a smile full of triumph. She still clearly remembered how Leon had behaved when he met her just now. Leon's sweet attitude was very different from his attitude three years ago, where at that time Leon never wanted to talk face-to-face with her for more than a minute because he was disgusted. However, tonight Leon could not take his eyes off of her as she spoke.
"You really are a jerk, Leon. Luckily, I divorced from you two years ago," said Anne quietly.
Because it was no longer comfortable to wear the dress, Anne increased the speed of her car back to the apartment. She wanted to immediately change into clothes that were more comfortable for her activities. This afternoon while waiting for Paul and Linda to close their flower shop, Anne suddenly had an idea to mess with Leon, so she invited Leon to meet with the reason that the contract was not in accordance with her wishes. In fact, Anne just wanted to know Leon's attitude when he saw her current self and it turned out that Anne's guess was right, Leon was indeed fascinated by the change in her appearance at this time. This really showed that Leon only liked someone just from her physique.
When she reached the gate of the apartment, Anne's eyes narrowed when she saw a car that she recognized very well was parked in the usual parking lot. Without thinking, Anne then parked her car next to the luxury car and got off right away. When she just got out of her car suddenly there was a large hand that grabbed her waist.
"Let-let me go ...!"
"It's me, Anne. Where were you from last night and wearing such dress?" asked a man who turned out to be Jack with a raised voice.
"Let go of me first, I'm not comfortable talking like this, Jack," said Anne softly with her hands on Jack's chest, holding on to his body so as not to stick to Jack's body.
"We can talk like this. Don't make too many excuses, Anne," said Jack coldly suspicious. He felt that there was something Anne was hiding from him.
"Please, I'm wearing heels, Jack. It's so tiring to have to stand like this all the time." Anne pleaded with hope.
Being stared at like that by Anne made Jack fall. He could not be seduced like that by Anne. Jack carefully then let go of his hug on Anne, so that Anne could stand comfortably.
"Quickly tell me. What did you do tonight in such a striking appearance like this?" asked Jack back.
Anne was silent at Jack's question. She then turned in another direction to try to find something that made Jack even more upset. Jack felt ignored by Anne, even though he was asking earnestly. When he was about to open his mouth again, Jack was surprised by Anne who pulled his hand firmly.
"What are you doing, Anne?" Jack asked, confused.
"Shut up and come, we'll sit in the garden. I'll tell you what happened tonight, Jack," said Anne excitedly.
"Why do we have to go to the park, why don't we just go into your apartment?" Jack asked again
"Do you want me to tell you or not?" asked Anne back curtly.
Jack immediately closed his mouth tightly, he chose to give in and follow Anne's wishes this time. After arriving at the garden, Anne immediately sat on a fairly clean swing. She climbed the swing with a big smile. The dress she wore fluttered when the swing she was riding moved. At first, Jack wanted to sit on the swing next to Anne, but his intention was delayed when he saw Anne's thigh clearly exposed. Without thinking, Jack then stopped the swing that Anne was riding, even though in fact his action was dangerous, but Jack still did it anayway. He was standing right in front of Anne who was swinging.
"Jack ... watch out!!!" Anne screamed loudly when she was about to hit Jack, Anne closed her eyes tightly because she was sure she would bump into Jack's body.
When Anne closed her eyes tightly she felt that the speed of the swing she was riding had stopped and when she opened her eyes she was suddenly surprised to see Jack kneeling in front of her who was still sitting on the swing.
"What are you doing, Jack?" asked Anne, confused.
"Doing what I'm supposed to do," Jack replied curtly.
"Yes, but this is ..."
"It is very inappropriate for a good woman to flaunt her body like this, so I'm securing it," Jack said briefly without guilt as he continued his current activity, namely tying two parts of Anne's dress which were separated by a split that was separated at the bottom of her dress.
"Jack ..."
"Okay, it's done. This is much better," Jack said guiltlessly while admiring what he had just done.
Currently, Jack had tied the bottom of the dress, so that Anne's thighs would not be exposed again.
"What are you doing, why are you tying my dress like this, Jack?" asked Anne, confused.
"You want your body to be exposed like before? Don't mess around, Anne. It's late and you also have to know that I'm just a normal man," Jack replied quickly as he sat on the swing next to Anne's.
Hearing Jack's answer made Anne pause for a moment. Jack's words reminded her of what happened a few months ago at Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. After exhaling a long sigh, Anne was sure she wanted to say the things she wanted to say since her meeting with Jack again in London.
"But Jack, didn't you get mad at me and said I was a cheap woman when I was at Newcastle-Upon-Tyne in front of my coffee shop? Then why are you like this to me now?" asked Anne quietly, expressing her heart.
"That's because I saw Aaron Sean Connery come into your apartment when I wasn't at Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, I was mad to see you let a man into the apartment," Jack replied coldly.
"Y-do you know Aaron?" Asked Anne briefly in disbelief.
"Of course I do. We've met at several business meetings in Dubai long before I met you two years ago," Jack replied back, staring sharply at the eyes of Anne who was beside him.
Being stared at like that by Jack made Anne speechless. Suddenly she felt familiar with Jack's words that she had just heard. Anne tried to remember where she had heard such words before. After thinking for almost two minutes, suddenly Anne's eyes were perfectly rounded.
"Aaron," Anne muttered softly without realizing it.
"Why? After I mentioned Aaron Sean Connery's name, you missed him?" Jack asked curtly.
"What are you talking about? I-I just didn't expect you to know I was with Aaron at that time. If you weren't at Newcastle-Upon-Tyne then how did you know that Aaron was with me? Don't tell me you asked people to spy on me, Jack ," said Anne, speaking carelessly trying to cover up her nervousness when she accidentally mentioned Aaron's name as she remembered the incident this afternoon where Aaron was angry with him for seeing Jack came out of the apartment with her.
