Chapter 35 - A Dilemma
Chapter 35 - ?A Dilemma
A Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead car which cost around 500 thousand pounds was seen entering a house in The Boltons housing complex in London. The Boltons housing estate was the second most expensive housing after the Kengsinton housing complex which consisted of the Kensington Palace, which used to be inhabited by Lady Diana and currently was inhabited by Prince William with Kate Middlenton and their children. Even though it was ranked second after the Kengsinton complex, the house prices in The Boltons had an average price of 13.3 million pounds, or around Rp. 187 billion.
The luxury car finally stopped at a house that looked very sturdy with a high fence surrounding the large yard. When the Rolls-Royce had just stopped for a few seconds, a high fence in front of the car opened slowly. After the fence was perfectly opened, the luxury car driver stepped on the gas again and drove it into his luxury home until finally the car stopped at the main door. ??
"Welcome, Mr. Sean," said one of the maids, who were dressed all in black welcoming the master who had just entered the house.
"Stop! Don't call me Sean, call me Aaron from now on. I don't like the nickname Sean," Aaron said in a raised voice. He hated hearing his middle name. Because the name Sean was a popular name among women who chase him.
"Y-yes, sir ... we understand, I'm sorry sir," answered several other servants simultaneously.
Without saying a word, Aaron stepped to the second floor where his room was. Today he was very upset because Amanda had forced him to accompany her to go shopping at the mall, until they finally went to the London Eye. Aaron, who didn't like to come to tourist spots like that, finally had to obey Amanda's wishes, who continued to pester him. If he didn't consider his good relationship with Mr. Jordan, Amanda's father, of course Aaron didn;t want to go out with her. But it was due to his friendship with Mr. Jordan, which had made Aaron unable to refuse Amanda's very spoiled request.
"Why do I feel so familiar with the girl who rode the sedan earlier?" Aaron said softly as he laid down on his big bed.
"Her hair, her posture, why do I feel like I've seen her? But where?"
"Fuckkk ... it looks like I think too often about that girl so I always think of her and every girl would look like her."
Aaron spoke to himself while staring at the ceiling of his clean white room. He had been looking for Anne for more than two months now. It was frustrating. Just being left by Anne had annoyed him. He, who had never had a shortage of women in his life, felt very insulted when he was just left by a simple girl who had managed to catch his attention when he first saw her on the street while Daniel littered the streets of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne.
Various questions arose in Aaron's mind. He was curious about the reason Anne had left without saying goodbye. Then he was also curious about the reason why Anne had sold all of her property in one night. Those questions had been bothering him for the past two months and he had been having these fits of anger without cause either at the office or in his stately home.
"Did you leave because you're married, Anne?"
"Why do you have to give me this deep feeling? Why can't I forget you?"
"What magic have you used Anne, why am I like this?"
Aaron's voice finally sounded very soft as he closed his eyes perfectly, just like the previous nights, Aaron had always fallen asleep without changing his clothes when he thought of Anne. He really was like a broken heart guy, even though he didn't have any relationship with Anne, but somehow he had become this messy.
Meanwhile, in her apartment, Anne had just finished doing her assignment again after the first assignment was destroyed by Edward's men. Anne was so immersed in her work that she forgot to take a shower and eat dinner, she felt hungry.
"Oh God, it's almost 12 o'clock at night. No wonder my stomach hurts so badly," said Anne softly, when she saw the alarm clock on the television table.
Out of hunger, Anne finally prepared some food. As she ran out of ingredients to cook, she finally decided to eat a bowl of cereal with milk. Holding a large bowl filled with colorful cereal which had been splashed with milk, Anne sat on the sofa watching a reality show on tv that showed the life of Kim Kardashian and her family. She actually didn't really like Kim Kardashian's personality, but she was very fascinated by the fashion choices that she wore everyday, not to mention her younger siblings, who were also very iconic and had always set the trend for young people in America.
Anne learned and searched for ideas from popular celebrities, not to plagiarize, but to find additional inspiration. Even the lecturer had often encouraged his students to buy as many fashion magazines as possible each month for additional references, but because Anne was very calculating with the amount of money she spent, Anne chose to watch reality shows like this or award shows. which often featured top artists or models walking the red carpet. According to her, this method was much more effective than having to buy a lot of magazines.
"The task is done, dinner is done, it's time to take a shower so that tomorrow I can wake up in the morning. I have to go to the bank to get the money I promised Mr. August this afternoon," said Anne quietly, while on her knees staring at her task which was scattered on the carpet. After placing her bowl in the kitchen sink, Anne returned to the television.
Anne tidied her work into one file, so that tomorrow morning nothing would be left behind when she went to campus. Without Anne realizing, the television screen was currently showing news about the international business world and currently the show was discussing a young entrepreneur named Jackson Patrick Muller Jr., who had received the highest award as a young entrepreneur for successfully bringing his company, Muller Finance International, to become the only finance company to rule mainland Europe for three consecutive years, where this had never happened before.
When Jack was giving his speech, Anne was in the bathroom, while Jack spoke at length, because many journalists were curious about his personal life that was interesting to be discussed. For an established CEO like himself but still single, of course, he became an easy target for news reporters, who are curious about his love life.
"Trust yourself because when you have it all, the women will come to you voluntarily," said Jack loudly when answering a question from a reporter.
Clicked.
Anne, who had just come out of the bathroom, paused in front of the door when she heard a very familiar voice to her.
"I want to know who that arrogant man is ..."
