Chapter 280 - Try To Be Obedient
Anne had been finished preparing since ten minutes ago and was seen sitting on the sofa waiting for Jack, who was still in the room. This was her first day back to work after the weekend off, which she had spent tidying up her personal belongings after moving into the new apartment. Jack's footsteps made Anne, who had just finished her hot green tea, turn towards the source of the sound.
"Are you ready?" Jack asked innocently.
"I should have asked you that," said Anne curtly.
Jack's hand moved and landed on Anne's head and ruffled her hair which she had combed neatly. This made Anne scream loudly.
"Well, now you're not ready," he said softly, smiling triumphantly.
Anne folded her mouth. She was annoyed, but at the moment, she chose not to respond to Jack's nosy actions because she didn't want to take longer to go to the office. In silence, Anne smoothed her hair again with her fingers, arranging it in such a way that it would be neater. Jack finally sat quietly in his chair, enjoying Anne's sandwich with a glass of warm green tea voraciously. In fact, Jack didn't really like green tea, but because it was made by Anne, he drank it without hesitation.
They finally went to work together after breakfast. When they came out of the apartment door, Anne accidentally saw two beautiful sexy women carrying a big-bellied man into one of the rooms not far from Anne's room, while another beautiful woman seemed to be carrying a suitcase and a coat that seemed to belong to the man who had been brought into the room.? Jack, who was tidying his clothes, smiled when he realized what Anne was looking at them. Without speaking, he grabbed Anne by the waist and led her straight to the elevator.
"Don't meddle in other people's business, Anne, just let it go. Forget it and pretend you didn't see anything earlier." Jack spoke softly warningly to Anne who he was hugging.
"I know, Jack."
"Good girl," said Jack shortly as he landed a kiss on the top of Anne's head.
When they arrived at the elevator, they immediately entered and were alone in the elevator, but still Jack did not let go of Anne's body from his embrace. He had to be on guard, ready in case someone got into the elevator. Therefore, Jack still hugged Anne tightly which actually made Anne uncomfortable. Jack just released his hand from Anne's body when the elevator arrived at the basement. But Jack didn't really let her go, because his hand was still tightly gripping her arm as they walked towards the car.
Anne was completely separated from Jack when she was in the car, even though she was still near Jack, but Anne was a little calm because there was a distance between them at the moment.
"What's your schedule for today, Anne?" asked Jack suddenly, breaking the silence as they stopped at a red light.
"It's just the usual. Checking the work of team members and then send it to the boss and hold a meeting and then correct it again and then work again and that's it, like a normal day," answered Anne quickly.
"I mean do you have a schedule to go out of the office, like a meeting outside or lunch with a client outside?" Jack asked again in more detail.
Anne smiled at Jack's question. "I'm not a person who deals with clients, whether it's about collaboration or anything else, I'm the person behind the scenes who takes care of the process of making this film, so things like that don't seem to be possible. Unless, for example, my team is suddenly asked to make a presentation In front of investors who want to see how far the film has progressed, that's just how it is."
"Okay, I understand," said Jack briefly.
Anne raised one eyebrow and looked at Jack suspiciously. "Why do you ask that, Jack?"
"Nothing, just curious. I need to know what my fiancée is doing today in that damn lion's office, so I can rest easy working in the office. At least, I can guess what you're doing," replied Jack flatly expressionlessly.
"That is it?"
"Yes, I have to make sure Steffi and her people can't touch you, because if you're outside of the office, I have to come with you to watch over you from afar. And at least, if you're in the office, I'll feel a little calm, because I'm sure Steffi will not dare to do things to you in an office where there are so many people. Not to mention the presence of Leon, which will definitely make Steffi afraid to do dangerous things to you," Jack replied coldly. Mentioning Steffi's name made his mood instantly bad, especially when he remembered Steffi's rotten plan to destroy Anne in the most disgusting way.
Anne's cheeks turned red when she heard Jack's answer. She didn't expect Jack to have thought about her safety to that extent.
"Anyone who dares to do anything to you, that person will deal with me directly, no matter it's a man, a woman, an adult, or a child. As long as they dare to hurt you, that person will get what he deserves," he added quickly.
Anne suppressed a smile. She was trying to calm down at this point. Even though her chest was already very rumbling from the words Jack said. "I'll be fine, Jack, calm down. If I had to leave the office, I would definitely report it to you." Anne's voice trembled slightly as she spoke. She really kept herself calm so as not to disturb Jack's concentration driving the car.
Jack nodded his head hearing Anne's words. He then returned to focus on driving the car to Ganke Inc. Production, where Anne was currently working. Since it was still early in the morning and not crowded with workers or students, it didn't take long for them to arrive at Anne's ex-husband's office. He stopped his car far enough from the office at Anne's request. She did not want anyone to see her get off Jack's luxury car. She was not ready to expose her relationship with Jack at the moment. After Anne got out of the car, shortly afterwards Jack drove his car back to the highway. As soon as Jack's car was out of sight, Anne immediately removed the diamond ring that was wrapped around her ring finger and she put it into a pendant on the necklace she was currently wearing.
"It's safe. For now it's better like this. It would be very vulnerable if many people saw me wearing such an expensive diamond ring, huftt... not everyone will be happy with the happiness we get right now right. Okay, Anne, cheer up! It's going to be a long day you. Fighting!!!" Anne spoke to herself encouragingly, as she often did. Because there are several staff who have started to enter the office, Anne hastened her steps towards the office.
