I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 21 - Moving On And Walking Away

Anne ran to the park to calm down, she didn't expect to receive such treatment from Jack at all, someone she had known so well for one and a half years. During her stay in England, Anne had no other friends because she felt that she was not easy to get along with, especially with her painful past. It was not easy for her to trust people again. Since Jack came into her life, she had no idea why it was easier for her to share all of her complaints with that cold man. Anne felt that Jack was different from most people who wouldn't care about anything. That was why she started telling him about his past little by little until she told him about her status who was the widow of Leonardo Ganke. One of the most successful young entrepreneurs today in Germany.

"O-once again I misjudged people sob... I'm stupid I'm the one who's so stupid here sob sob ...." Anne tears finally broke after she held it in front of Jack earlier, after staying in the garden for almost an hour Anne finally decided to go back to her apartment. ??

By taking a detour, it took Anne a little longer to get to her apartment, she deliberately did that because she didn't want to pass through her coffee shop. Anne didn't want to see Jack again, that was why she chose a further path to return to her apartment. When she got to the apartment, Anne took out her laptop and started doing what had been on her mind for the past hour. She had set up her mind to that, with tears still streaming down her eyes, Anne entered a property buying and selling site. Anne intended to sell her coffee shop along with all of its belongings and one apartment she was currently living in. It didn't take long for a few of the site visitors to immediately become interested.

Anne's coffee shop was on a busy protocol street so it was not difficult at all for her to find buyers. Same thing for her apartment. After finding the highest buyer, Anne finally agreed to meet with them, even though Anne had not submitted the keys and documents to the new owners of the coffee shop and apartment, the two buyers had transferred a very large amount of money to her. The price that Anne put on the property buying and selling site was actually three times the initial price when she bought the two buildings two years ago. Initially, Anne didn't expect there would be a buyer who wanted to buy two of her private buildings, but her doubts were dismissed right away when there were two people directly pay in full both for the coffee shop and apartment.

"I'd better tidy up my things first before meeting them," said Anne to herself, wiping the tears that were still running down her face.

Actually, Anne didn't want to sell her business place, but remembering Jack's words made her very hurt, she finally decided to sell the building because she didn't want to see Jack again.

"Okay, Miss Marianne, according to the agreement, the coffee shop belongs to me with all the items in it," said Mr. George, the coffee shop buyer in a friendly manner when he finished signing the purchase and sale documents that had been legalized by a notary public.

"Correct, Mr. George, if you intend to sell it again please contact me. I'll buy it again," answered Anne softly with a forced smile.

Hearing the words coming out of Anne's mouth, Mr. George burst out laughing, he couldn't believe he would meet someone like Anne.

"I've been wanting that coffee shop for a long time, so there's no way I can sell it again, even though you as the original owner want to buy it again," said Mr. George with a laugh.

"I know, but who knows you will change your mind someday, sir he he he," said Anne, blushing.

"It turns out that you are such a fun person, Miss Anne, I regret that this is going to be my only chance to talk to you longer," replied Mr. George quietly praising Anne.

Anne only smiled at Mr. George's words. For her, words like this were only a man's rotten lip service. Moreover, words coming out of a rich man like Mr. George who was also a widower. Not long after that, Anne immediately left. She felt uncomfortable sitting alone with Mr. George who repeatedly tried to touch her hand, even though at first Mr. George had not allowed Anne to go, but in the end, he gave in because Anne kept getting calls from someone.

"Finally I can get away from the old man," said Anne gratefully when she left the restaurant where she met Mr. George. Anne then got on a bus which happened to stop at a bus stop not far from where she was. This time, Anne planned to go to a mall not far from the restaurant she had just visited.

When the sun was almost setting on the western horizon, Anne just arrived at her apartment, she just returned from a coffee shop in a mall where she had met the buyer of her apartment. Because all the important documents and files proving the ownership of the building where she lived had changed to another owner, Anne finally decided to get out of her apartment, even though the new owner said Anne could still live in the apartment until she found a new place to live. However, Anne decided to immediately leave the apartment where she had rested for almost two years since she came to New Castle Upon Tyne after her divorce. After packing all of her clothes and several important items for almost six hours, Anne finally got ready to leave her apartment.

"Thank you for being my sweet home for these two years, I will surely miss this apartment," said Anne quietly when she was already in the small moving truck she had rented to carry her belongings to her new destination.

"Goodbye New Castle, I'll visit you often one day...."
