Chapter 88 - For The Sake For Anne
While in his car, Aaron was seen repeatedly hitting the steering wheel, he was very annoyed with Amanda who dared to act indecently in front of him. He only had one thing in his mind that he thought could help him calm down, Aaron drove his beloved Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead faster while holding his hunger. He wanted to get to his destination immediately. After driving his car for thirty minutes, Aaron soon arrived at the apartment complex he often visited, the apartment complex where Anne lived.
After removing his seat belt, Aaron immediately got out of his car and walked quickly to Anne's apartment. Luckily, when he reached the lobby, the lift was going down to the first floor so he did not need to wait long. Aaron quickly pressed the number ten on the wall which was the place where Anne's room was. It did not take long for Aaron to reach the tenth floor since he was alone in the elevator. When the lift stopped, Aaron immediately got out of the elevator and stepped quickly towards the room at the end of the hall where Anne's room was.

Aaron pressed the bell in Anne's room so many times, he couldn't hold himself back any longer. With cold sweat pouring down, Aaron pressed the bell button in Anne's room over and over. After the fourth attempt, the door to Anne's room finally opened.
"Aaron, what are you doing here?" asked Anne, she was surprised to see Aaron standing in front of her room at ten at night. Luckily, she just woke up because she wanted to pee. Otherwise, she wouldn't have heard the bell Aaron pressed so many times.
"Anne…"
"Are you sick, Aaron? Your face is so pale!!!" shrieked Anne loudly when she realized Aaron's face had turned pale.
"I'm not sick, I'm just ..."
"Just what? Look at your face as white as paper, Aaron," said Anne again cutting Aaron's words for the umpteenth time
"I'm hungry,"
Hearing Aaron's words made Anne almost laugh, but when she saw Aaron's pale face and cold sweat pouring down from his forehead, Anne then pulled Aaron's hand into her apartment.
"Sit down, don't go anywhere," said Anne coldly.
"Huum," Aaron replied like a child.
After making sure Aaron sat on the sofa, Anne then went to the pantry. She took a clean bowl and spoon to get the chicken soup that was in the refrigerator. Luckily, Anne still had some chicken soup which she kept tightly in the refrigerator. After warming it in the microwave, Anne brought the soup to the sofa where Aaron was. She carefully placed the hot soup on the table. When she put down the soup, Anne glanced at Aaron who was getting pale, she then accelerated her movements. Anne still clearly remembered when Aaron said that he had chronic gastritis. And Anne really knew that ulcer disease was very dangerous.
"Open your eyes, Aaron," said Anne softly.
Aaron, who was leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes. He smiled when he saw Anne who was sitting in front of him with a glass of water.
"Drink first, just a little," said Anne again, pointing to the glass she was holding at Aaron.
Aaron then grabbed the glass she offered and immediately drank it slowly.
"Okay, that's enough. Don't drink too much, you have to eat," said Anne again as she grabbed the glass from Aaron's hand.
Shortly thereafter, Aaron was seen slowly eating the chicken soup that had been warmed by Anne. He chewed it so slowly that it made Anne smile. Occasionally, Anne wiped the remaining soup from around Aaron's lips with a tissue.
"I'm full, Anne," Aaron said slowly when he had eaten a third of the soup in the bowl.
"Give me the bowl so I can help you eat," said Anne softly as she reached for the bowl on Aaron's lap.
Like an obedient child, Aaron was just silent when Anne asked him to eat again. He didn't want to make her angry with him. After ten minutes had passed, finally the chicken soup in the bowl had moved completely to Aaron's stomach and this made Anne happy.
"Sit quietly, let your stomach digest the food earlier," said Anne softly to Aaron.
"I want to help you in the pantry ..."
"Don't mess around, Aaron. You better sit on the sofa," said Anne, quickly interrupting Aaron's words.
"Okay, I'll just sit on the couch," Aaron replied relentlessly.
Anne just shook her head slowly in response to Aaron's words. She then continued to wash the dishes which she had not washed since morning as she was in a hurry to deliver the flowers to customers.
After all her work was done, Anne then returned to join Aaron on the sofa. She put two glasses of warm water with a bit of honey on the table. They were for herself, of course, and for Aaron.
"Sorry, Anne," Aaron said quietly, breaking the silence.
"Sorry for what?" Asked Anne briefly.
"Sorry for keeping you busy like this, sorry too for disturbing your sleep time," Aaron replied briefly.
"You didn't disturb me. I just happen to be awake. Today I slept much earlier," said Anne quietly, smiling.
"Sleep earlier?" Asked Aaron, confused.
"Huum, today I do too many activities. So I chose to sleep early this afternoon," said Anne again.
"I see, thank goodness that my arrival didn't interfere with your rest time ... awwww"
Aaron couldn't finish his words because his thigh was pinched hard by Anne suddenly.
"Anne ..."
"That's a punishment for you for doing things again. Didn't the doctor tell you to eat on time? Then why are you looking for trouble by eating late like this again? What if I'm not in the apartment if you have come like that? Or for example, I don't have food at home, imagine if that happens. Come on, Aaron, you're old enough to know how your own body is, you should be able to find out what's good and bad for your health," said Anne with a raised tone. interrupting Aaron's words. Anne actually wanted to lash out her anger since earlier, but she had to make sure Aaron finished his food first.
"I'm too busy today with my job, Anne, that I don't have time to eat dinner," replied Aaron honestly.
"Isshhh ... I really want to meet your boss, I want to see the person who forces his subordinates to work really hard. I want to know what kind of person he is." said Anne quickly
"Why are you angry at my boss?" asked Aaron confused.
"Yes, of course I'm angry at him. As a boss, he shouldn't have to give a lot of work to his subordinates like this, that it makes his subordinates have no time to eat. Isn't that against the rules, forcing your subordinates to work hard?" said Anne emotionally. .
Hearing those words made Aaron smile. This girl in front of him was completely different from the other girls. While in fact, judging from Aaron's appearance, people could tell that he was the boss, but somehow Anne couldn't see that. And this was what Aaron liked. Anne didn't immediately glare at the luxurious things on his body. Unlike most girls who would be fascinated by the watch or suit that he wore.
"It's not his fault, Anne, this is purely due to my carelessness. I was so excited to do my job that I forgot that I hadn't had dinner, but actually I wanted to eat, Anne. But suddenly an incident that I wanted to forget happened in my office. I lost my mood to eat." Aaron said, slowly telling her his story.
"An incident that you wanted to forget? What kind of incident was it?" asked Anne curiously.
"If I tell you, will you be angry at me?" Aaron asked back quickly.
"Why would I be angry? It has nothing to do with me. So I don't need to be angry, right?" replied Anne, smiling slightly.
After making sure that Anne wouldn't be angry, Aaron then began to tell what happened in his office a few moments ago. When Aaron told her, she covered her mouth out of surprise several times, she couldn't believe that a woman could be so desperate.
"You're not making the story up, are you?" Asked Anne softly.
"There's no way I'm making this up Anne, that's why I lost my appetite. There are lots of crazy women out there who are willing to do anything to make their wishes come true, even though they have to degrade themselves like that," replied Aaron honestly. He really lost the mood to do anything after what Amanda did earlier.
Anne smiled at Aaron's words. Suddenly she thought of Steffi, who also did the lowest to be in her current position.
"Alright, let's not discuss it anymore, I want to forget about it. Oh right, today you said you were very tired, what other activities are there on campus, Anne?" asked Aaron softly changing the subject.
"There is no event at the campus, it's just that we got good news. One of the invited guests who attended the show yesterday gave us all free holiday tickets to Ireland for three days, so we were gathered on campus to submit our personal data," answered Anne honestly.
