Chapter 313 - Telling The Story
When Anne arrived, Muller Finance International was very busy with lots of well-dressed people walking around with files or just walking around talking on the phone. The young executives who were able to do business with Jack were the lucky ones and managed to get rid of their competitors when they managed to make a partnership with Jackson Patrick Muller, who was known to be very picky.
Anne's steps stopped when she arrived at the reception desk. "Excuse me, can I see Jack?"
The two receptionists, who had just received the call, were very surprised when they heard someone mentioning their boss's name directly by the name without any frills. The two girls looked at each other for a while before finally coming to their senses.
"Sorry Miss, can you show your identity first?" a blonde-haired receptionist asked kindly.
Without being ordered twice, Anne then took out her identity card from her purse and placed it on the reception desk politely. As soon as Anne put down her ID, the other receptionist immediately grabbed it and looked at it carefully.
When she saw her friend writing down Anne's name in the guest book, the receptionist first greeted Anne and then asked her purpose in coming to Muller Finance International again, even though Anne had previously asked to meet with Jack.
"I want to meet Jack, indeed I don't have an appointment with him, but he once told me if I wanted to come, then I can just come here, Miss. That's why I came straight here," answered Anne slowly.
"But sorry, Miss, which department this Jack are you referring to?" asked the receptionist again.
"I don't know where he is, but what I do know is that his last name is used as the name of this company...."
"What do you mean, Miss?" interrupted the second receptionist, who was holding Anne's ID card, quickly.
"Anne!!!"
Hearing her name being called Anne immediately turned around. After seeing the person who called her, Anne smiled, while the man who called her immediately walked quickly to the reception desk. The man was none other than Jackson Patrick Muller, who had just finished a meeting. He immediately hugged Anne shamelessly in front of everyone, including his co-workers who he escorted out.
"Why didn't you call me that you're coming here?" Jack whispered softly as he hugged Anne.
"Let go of me first," said Anne curtly.
Jack, who realized his actions, immediately let go of Anne and landed a kiss on Anne's forehead gently. "Okay, now say it."
Anne, who didn't expect Jack to be so intimate in front of everyone, blushed. Her face was reddened, and worst of all she forgot what to say to Jack, because the contents of her brain suddenly scattered after being treated like that by Jack.
Jack chuckled when he saw Anne was not focused. He was very happy to see Anne like that. With annoyance, he landed a small pinch on the top of Anne's sharp nose. Erick, who felt bad for a work partner who had just signed a cooperation with Muller Finance International, cleared his throat. He tried to make Jack aware that now many people were watching and Erick's plan was successful. Jack immediately turned to Erick and looked surprised for a few seconds. But because he had been trained, finally Jack managed to control himself again. Without guilt, he walked towards his guest while still wrapping his arm around Anne's waist.
"Sorry, gentlemen, because my fiancée came, I got too excited and forgot my obligation to take you all," said Jack without preamble.
"Fiancée?"
"Ah yes, I forgot, this is my fiancée, Anne." Jack proudly introduced Anne to his business relationship as his fiancée.
The men who were Jack's business relations immediately reached out to Anne. They were very excited to meet the fiancée of Jackson Patrick Muller. Anne graciously accepted the extended hand from Jack's partners, and soon the three middle-aged men left Muller Finance International.
"Why didn't you say you were coming?" Jack asked Anne back as soon as the guests' cars were out of sight.
"I'll tell you in your room," said Anne curtly.
"Okay."
Jack then invited Anne to walk to the elevator, but Anne stopped her steps and walked to the reception desk to take her identity card that the receptionists had asked for.
"They both asked for your ID?" asked Jack. His voice was rising when he saw Anne put her ID back in her bag.
Hearing Jack's voice, which was quite loud, the two receptionists who had previously held back for a long time immediately lowered their heads. They felt very guilty because they did not believe her who said that she was Jack's fiancée.
Anne took a deep breath at Jack's attitude. "They're just doing their job, don't be mad."
Jack, who didn't like Anne getting unpleasant treatment from his employees, immediately approached the table of the two girls who were very scared. "Remember carefully, this lady is my fiancée. Your future mistress is your boss, so don't ever be rude to her again."
"Y-yes sir, forgive us."
"Sorry sir, we won't do it again."
The two receptionists answered Jack's words in unison without looking up. They were both still very afraid to look at Jack. Feeling sorry for the two girls, Anne then approached Jack and asked him to leave. Anne knew that what the two receptionists were doing was part of their job that had to be done, so Anne was not angry. Jack, who actually still wanted to reprimand the two new receptionists who had replaced Alice, finally obeyed Anne's words. He chose to quickly go up to his room to spend time with Anne, instead of spending energy on scolding the two employees. In the elevator, Jack actually wanted to hug Anne again, but Anne actually stood near Erick and chatted with the bespectacled man, ignoring Jack who was folding his arms across his chest, staring without blinking at Anne and Erick who ignored him.
After arriving on the floor, Jack immediately wrapped his arms around Anne's waist possessively, as if to show Anne that he was very angry with her after being ignored for a few minutes in the elevator. Erick, who was walking behind Jack and Anne, couldn't help but smile slightly. He had forgotten that his boss was currently so crazy about Anne. Not wanting to disturb his master who was happy because of Anne's arrival, Erick then returned to his own office and restrained Alice, who was about to enter Jack's room. Alice, who didn't know anything, looked annoyed at Erick because she felt Erick was bothering her. After Erick told her what had happened, Alice finally understood. She ended up doing her other work and putting off the file she wanted to hand over to Jack.
"What do you want to drink?" Jack asked Anne quietly after she had sat down on the sofa.
"I'm being called a whore, Jack..."
Thump!
Jack, who wanted to open the mini fridge beside his desk, immediately froze hearing Anne's words. "W-what did you say Anne?"
Anne looked back at Jack without blinking. "I was called a whore by Leon, that's why I left the company."
