Chapter 582 - Like Daddy
Forgiving Jack after their fight was something that Anne always regretted when she woke up in the morning, because after that Jack wouldn't let her go for a second. Even when sleeping after they had a hot romance, Jack still wrapped his arms around Anne's waist which made her unable to go anywhere until morning, which finally made Anne's neck feel a little sore because of her uncomfortable sleeping position.
"Come on, babe, I'm serious. What if I miss you and Christian?" Jack repeated the same sentence a fifth time, trying to persuade Anne to come with him to the office.
Anne, who had just finished drying her hair with a hairdryer, smiled at Jack who was standing beside her dressing table. "You're at work. How can Christian and I come? Our presence will surely disturb you."
"No, that can't be happening. You can use my room anyway. I'll be in the meeting room all day, Anne. My new client from Melbourne is coming today and I have a meeting with him for a full day so I can't go home to see you guys, so you and Christian better come to the office."
Anne took a deep breath. "But Jack..."
"Please Mommy...please." Jack immediately looked at Anne with a pitiful look.
"But what if Christian gets bored and whines to go home? Will you take the responsibility?"
With an annoying grin, Jack brought his face closer to Anne's. "What other responsibilities do you want? Didn't I say long ago that I was ready to raise the eleven children born to you, Anne."
Anne immediately went blank. Jack's words which ended with a kiss on the neck made her weak. Whereas previously last night she had received the love that Jack gave her many times, the grip of Anne's hand that landed on Jack's arm finally made the man stop his temptation to Anne.
"So how about you come with me?" Jack asked in a low, intimidating voice.
Anne looked at Jack with a still hazy vision. "Okay, I'll go."
Hearing Anne's words made Jack very happy. With quick movements Jack hugged Anne tightly.
"I love you, I'll wait for you downstairs for breakfast," whispered Jack softly in Anne's ear again before finally leaving Anne.
Shortly after Jack left, Anne immediately grabbed the glass that was on the nightstand and immediately drank it until the glass was empty. Jack's temptation succeeded in making Anne froze. Jack really knew how to make Anne obey him.

As if nothing had happened Giselle came to the office quietly as usual. Her arrogance was still evident when she got out of the car and walked into the Muller Finance International office building. The girl did not pay attention to the words of her parents who forbade her to come back to Jack's office. She still wanted to prove to her parents that she could defeat Jack as she had always said for the past two years while holding the title of Jack's private secretary.
Giselle decided to chase after Jack after finding out that Jack's wealth was growing, after he inherited the company of his grandfather who was a wealthy businessman from Luxembourg. A few years ago, Giselle had given up fighting for Jack because she had lost to Sophia Higgins, who at that time was a prima donna in Switzerland. That was why Giselle retreated, especially at that time both of Jack's parents also agreed to match Jack with Sophia, whom Giselle also knew well. But after learning that Sophia and Jack had broke up, Giselle then found out about Jackson's love story, which was very secretive at that time after his engagement with Sophia was annulled.
Giselle was desperate when she heard the news of Jack's death in the English Channel, but after learning that Jack was still alive and in Luxembourg to continue his grandfather's company, Giselle decided to fight again to get Jack's love even though she knew that at this time Jack had become a husband and a father of a very handsome boy.
"Morning, Miss Giselle." Greet the three receptionists who are already at her desk to Giselle.
Giselle stopped in her tracks and turned towards the reception desk which she had completely ignored. "Is the boss here yet?"
"Not yet, Miss."
Giselle smiled. "Okay. Call my desk as soon as he arrives."
"Okay Miss, we understand."
Without thanking the three friendly receptionists, Giselle then continued to walk and headed straight for the elevator whose doors were already open.
For the three receptionists, getting unfavorable treatment from Giselle was nothing new, so they felt normal and chose to return to their work because working hours had almost started. Actually, many staffs didn't like Giselle and were comparing Giselle to Alice, who previously held the position of the main secretary at Muller Finance International. But knowing that Giselle was recruited directly by Jack, no one dared to oppose her and could only talk about it behind her back.
Shortly after Giselle got on the elevator, in front of the main door, a luxury car stopped. Several men dressed in black went straight to the car door and lined up neatly after opening the car door. The men immediately bowed to pay their respect to Jack, who was carrying Christian, walking into the office followed by the very graceful Anne. Luckily, last night Jack didn't leave a hickey around Anne's neck, so now Anne didn't have to hide her neck by wearing a troublesome dress. It looked like that Jack had been planning this since last night. He wanted Anne to come to the office with him so he didn't make a mark on Anne's neck even though other marks were already scattered around the other body which of course had been hidden under the beautiful clothes that had wrapped her.
"Good morning Madam, Sir," greeted the three receptionists who were in the lobby to Anne and Jack who walked past their desk.
Christian tugged on Jack's tie. "Why don't they greet me too, Daddy? Am I invisible?"
Christian innocently issued such a statement in a voice that was quite loud and immediately made the faces of the three receptionists, who were previously smiling sweetly, turned pale.
Jack chuckled. "That's why tomorrow when you come to the office, you must wear a neat suit like Daddy, so the sisters will greet you and most importantly you have to walk on your own instead of being carried like this."
Christian was silent for a long time. He then turned his gaze to Anne who seemed to be smiling at him.
"Is that true, Mommy?"
Anne smiled. She then stroked Christian's hair gently. "Of course, if you want to be like Daddy. But if you want to be a spaceship pilot like you dream of, then you don't have to follow what Daddy says."
Suddenly, Christian hugged Jack's neck very hard. "No, I don't want to be a spaceship pilot anymore. I want to be like Daddy."
Jack laughed out loud at the words of his son who was very adorable. Even the three receptionists, who had been scared before, seemed to smile because of Christian's behavior.
"Of course, you have to be like Daddy. You have to continue the struggle that I started," Jack said quietly with pride.
"Sure... I will, Daddy... I will..."
Anne just smiled at the brief chat of her husband and son. She didn't want to disturb the fun of the two of them and continued her steps towards the elevator whose door had been opened by Erick to go up to the 40th floor where Jack's room was located.
