Chapter 319 - God, You, And Me
After Jack finished getting ready, he then sprayed on his perfume to complete his already dashing appearance with a black tuxedo suit. He then walked over to Anne who still had her eyes closed.
"Wake up, my white bunny, you've been asleep for more than two hours." Jack woke Anne gently.
Anne, who was still asleep, slowly opened her eyes, disturbed by the movement of Jack's hand touching her nose.
"Jack..."
"Yes, it's me," said Jack quickly.
"W-why am I here?" asked Anne stuttering, as she crossed her arms across her chest, forming a fortress of self-defense.
"How forgetful you are. Remember carefully why you are here," replied Jack quickly with a laugh.
Anne was silent. She digested what Jack said. Soon, her face turned red as she managed to remember the scene before she fell asleep on the sofa.
"Are you done with work?" asked Anne, quickly changed the subject to cover her embarrassment.
"It's been done since 30 minutes ago. I also got ready to go to the special place with you and now you need to get ready," replied Jack quickly.
"Ready? Are we..."
Anne stopped her words when she realized that Jack was wearing a tuxedo.
"Don't ask too many questions and get up quickly and take a shower. Alice has prepared everything for you in these two big bags," said Jack again while showing the two large bags in front of Anne.
"What's this?
"Your change of clothes. Hurry up to the bathroom before I run out of patience, because if that happens, then you will regret it." Jack replied again with a threatening tone.
Without being ordered twice, Anne immediately got up and walked towards the bathroom, her hands carrying the two large bags brought by Alice. Seeing Anne leave in a hurry, Jack smiled faintly. He then sat on the sofa to check his cell phone, which had been ringing non-stop, while waiting for Anne to finish bathing.
Anne, who was the first to enter Jack's bathroom in his private room, looked amazed. She couldn't believe that Jack had made a bathroom in his office with a luxurious design similar to a bathroom in a hotel. Because she didn't want to make Jack angry, Anne rushed to take a shower. She chose to take a bath in the shower to speed up time. Anne didn't do many rituals in the bathroom. She only used Jack's body wash which came from the same brand as her body wash.

"Anne ..."
"Wait, Jack, I'm not finished," Anne shrieked loudly.
"Do you need my help?" asked Jack from behind the door.
"Hmmm... I don't feel comfortable with this dress. Don't you have any other clothes?" Anne protested that the white dress she had just taken out of the grocery bag was above the sink.
"It's a special outfit for tonight's event, Anne, so don't complain too much," answered Jack quickly.
Anne took a deep breath hearing Jack's words. She finally relented and carefully put on the dress in her hand. The dress that she was about to wear had an open bateau neckline, an off shoulder, shape in white. This gave the impression of timeless elegance with a modern touch. The dress shaped the curve of her waist, accentuating the shoulders, and the three-quarter sleeves gave a modern impression after being worn by Anne. She looked at herself in the large mirror in Jack's bathroom. She felt that the dress she was wearing was not just any dress. The white color and the details on the dress were too complicated for an ordinary dress.
"Anne, are you done?" Jack asked back from behind the door. He was very impatient.
Anne took a deep breath. "I guess I'll have to ask Jack directly," Anne muttered quietly.
Anne, who had finished wearing the dress prepared by Jack, then walked out to Jack's room. Because the dress Anne was wearing had a slightly long tail, she had to lift the hem of her dress so it wouldn't get dirty while walking. Jack, who was waiting for Anne, looked very surprised when he saw Anne coming out of the bathroom. He was silent for a while when he saw Anne's perfection in her specially prepared dress.
"Perfect..." Jack said quietly without realizing it.
Anne, who never wore clothes that exposed her shoulders, felt a little uncomfortable, but because the dress was already attached to her body, she couldn't do anything about it and left her shoulders wide open.
"Actually, where are we going? Why are you giving me clothes like this, Jack?" asked Anne quietly when she saw Jack walking towards her.
"You'll know where we're going once I complete your look," Jack replied softly.
"What else do you want to perfect?" asked Anne confused, Anne felt that the clothes she was wearing were perfect. That was why she was confused when Jack said he would perfect her appearance again.
Jack just smiled at Anne's words. Instead of stopping his steps, Jack went into the bathroom where he changed his clothes before, and soon he came out of the bathroom with another bag of groceries that Anne had not touched. He slowly put his hand into the bag and took out a wide transparent white cloth along with a black box. He put the box on the table and opened it and took out the contents and put the contents of the box which turned out to be a set of jewelry encrusted with colored diamonds that matched with the ring that Anne wore on her left hand.
"Jack, this..."
"This is a wedding dress, tonight we are getting married," said Jack quietly cutting Anne's words.
"What?!!" Anne screamed loudly in panic.
Jack, who had expected Anne to be angry at him, just smiled. He then took the transparent white cloth, which turned out to be a veil that brides usually wore on their heads.
"You're done." Jack spoke softly as he put the silk tulle veil in Anne's hair.
"Jack, are you okay? You're not joking, are you?" asked Anne quietly to Jack, trying to remind Jack of her previous agreement with the handsome man in front of her right now.
"I'm very well, Anne, I know you may be confused right now because I suddenly asked you to wear a wedding dress. But believe me, Anne, I'm doing this all for your good," replied Jack softly, while looking at Anne with a gaze full of love.
"But you know that I'm not ready to marry, Jack, I don't want to fail again for that..."
Jack suddenly put one finger on Anne's lips, so she immediately stopped her words. "I love you. I will never leave you, Anne. For the rest of my life, I want to spend it with you," he said softly.
"But this..."
"This is our special wedding. I purposely want to bind you with this marriage before God. Only you, me, and God will know about our marriage and you can relax... I will touch you when we are officially married and recognized by the state." Jack interrupted Anne again, trying to explain what they were going to do now.
