I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 46 - Impatient

Daniel, who didn't go to the bar last night, had been waiting for Aaron for a long time in front of Aaron's hotel room since seven in the morning. He sat on a sofa near the large window while playing games on his cell phone. Aaron, who went to sleep as soon as he returned from the bar, had already awoke at nine this morning. He immediately cleaned himself in the bathroom when he read Daniel's message saying that he had brought him a change of clothes.

"You're a role model employee, Daniel," Aaron said quietly when he came out to pick up the clothes Daniel had brought. ??

"Stop praising me. Hurry and take a shower, I'm hungry," Daniel said curtly.

"You haven't eaten yet?" asked Aaron guiltlessly.

"How do you think I can eat, sir? I've been here very early in the morning and have sat in front of your room. How can I eat?" asked Daniel in a rising voice.

Aaron smiled at Daniel's words. When he was about to enter his room again, suddenly he stopped his steps and looked at the door to Jack's room which was still tightly closed.

"Since I came, he hasn't opened the door once," Daniel said casually without guilt, while playing the game again. He seemed to know what was on Aaron's mind.

"I see. Let him be. Wait for me to shower and then we'll go down to have breakfast together," Aaron replied, as he closed the door to his room to take a quick shower.

Daniel only raised his thumb in response to Aaron's words. He then continued his game again. Daniel came to the hotel after reading the message sent by Aaron last night, saying that he would stay at the hotel with Jack after coming back from the bar for a drink. Therefore, early in the morning, he had come to Aaron's house to get a change of clothes for his master, then took it to the hotel out of his own initiative.

Thirty minutes later, Aaron had finished his shower and changed into the clean clothes that Daniel brought. He then left his hotel room with a bag filled with dirty clothes, which Daniel finally took. The two of them then walked to the restaurant to eat together without waiting for Jack to wake up. Aaron had sent a message to Jack that he would return to the office first, because there was a meeting he had to attend.

"Do you want to go to Miss Anne's campus today again, sir?" Daniel asked quietly to open the conversation when they were already in the restaurant.

"We'll go straight to the office, Daniel. I don't have time to go to her campus anyway, now I know where she is. So in the future, I can come anytime if I want to see her. But this time, we have to immediately take care of business at the office, Daniel," Aaron replied. with a smile, hearing Anne's name being mentioned made him happy.

"Fine, I understand, sir," said Daniel briefly, as he put a piece of meat in his mouth.

Aaron's smile was still showing when Daniel talked about other important things. He was eager to meet Anne. Without Daniel knowing, Aaron had already obtained Anne's residential address from one of the lecturers he contacted, and Aaron already planned to meet Anne in person tonight, without Daniel. That was why he wanted to take care of all his business at the office as soon as possible. Aaron only ate two pieces of roasted turkey for breakfast, but somehow he felt full.

After Daniel had eaten his last cut of meat, Aaron immediately got up from his chair. He then walked towards the hotel door, leaving Daniel, who was still drinking water to push the food he had just swallowed. With Daniel running after Aaron, they arrived in front of his Range Rover, which had been prepared by the valet. Soon the car left the hotel and headed for the Connery Corporation at high speed.

In the car, Aaron looked away from the cell phone which displayed a message from Mr. Tobias, one of the lecturers at UAL, who had given him Anne's address, which turned out to be not far from where he lived. Aaron was really looking forward to meeting Anne. Even though he didn't have any relationship with Anne, for some reason he was very excited to meet the girl who had made him uneasy for the last few months. From his seat, Daniel could clearly see that Aaron had been smiling to himself since earlier, through the rearview mirror. He could only remain silent and didn't want to disturb his master's happiness. Even though he was actually very curious about what had made him smile to himself like that since they left the hotel, because he was afraid Aaron would be angry. Daniel chose to lock his lips tightly and hold back his curiosity.

At UAL Campus.

Anne, who was up all night doing Mrs. Martha's assignment, seemed to have to bite her finger, because Mrs. Martha said that she just wanted to see Anne's sincerity without accepting the assignment that she had made. As a result, the five-fold paper that Anne made was useless. With limp steps because she was still sleepy, Anne walked to her classroom, carrying a bag containing five copies of useless paper.

"Anne, wait!!!" Linda shrieked loudly from behind.

Hearing her name called, Anne stopped her steps and turned towards the source of the voice. Her smile grew bigger when she saw Linda running over to her.

"Don't run, lest you'll fall and that won't be funny, Linda," said Anne softly with a smile.

"I-I have to run to catch you, your footsteps are like kangaroos, you're very fast," said Linda out of breath.

"Here, have a drink first, you're ridiculous," said Anne, stifling laughter as she handed her a bottle of mineral water that she had just taken from the bag.

Without a word, Linda grabbed the water bottle given by Anne and immediately drank the contents until she coughed. That irritated Anne, so she patted Linda's back.

"You're just like a child, Linda. How could you choke on drinking water," said Anne for the umpteenth time, as she continued to pat Linda's back.

"S-sorry ..."

"You, naughty you," said Anne, quickly interrupting Linda's words.

Linda just chuckled when she saw Anne was angry. She then drank a little more water to relieve her throat.

"Thank you," Linda said softly, as she returned Anne's water bottle.

"You just keep it," said Anne briefly, as she walked toward her classroom again.

"You have a lot of things, Anne, have you submitted your assignments to Mrs. Martha?" Linda asked curiously.

Asked about the assignment, Anne immediately stopped walking. She turned to Linda with a look full of annoyance.

"What is it?" Linda asked, confused when she saw Anne's angry expression.

"Mrs. Martha didn't want to accept my assignment, Linda. She said she just wanted to see my seriousness. Isn't that annoying? She doesn't appreciate my efforts to stay awake until four in the morning for this assignment, Linda," said Anne softly, with teary eyes. Anne felt that she was being mocked by the lecturer.

"Hey, don't cry. People will see us and think that I had done something bad to you. Let's go to class," said Linda, panicking, when she saw Anne almost cried.

Anne nodded her head slowly as she walked towards the classroom. But because she carried too many things, her steps were a little slow. Couldn't bear to see Anne's slow walk, Linda finally grabbed Anne's hand and accelerated her footsteps toward the classroom, because the class was about to start in thirty minutes and the class was still a little quiet. Being impatient, Linda finally forced Anne to tell the story. After calming herself down, Anne finally began to tell what had upset her.

"I've been looking for the magazines for almost all day Linda, not to mention that I have to work on it last night. I slept at four in the morning for this assignment, but when I wanted to hand it over this morning, Mrs. Martha didn't want to accept it, sob ... if she wanted to punish me from the start, this shouldn't be the way, right? I'm sad that my efforts are not appreciated at all. At least if she really wants to punish me, just say it, so I won't expect anything … sob ... I don't need praise, Linda, I just want my efforts to be appreciated a little ... How hard is it to appreciate my efforts? Huhuhu ..."

Anne's cries sounded heartbreaking to those who heard her. Linda was confused about what to say. The reason was that if she was in Anne's position, she would definitely be this desperate too. Slowly Linda patted Anne on the shoulder to give support to her friend. She felt a little guilty for Anne for being punished like this.

In the back window, right behind Anne and Linda, stood a man who was still wearing a mask and wearing a leather jacket, listening to the two of them from the start. He was holding a heavy black helmet.

"It seems that I was wrong to prevent Mrs. Martha to accept the assignment from Anne," he said to himself, the letter E pendant clearly visible under his expensive leather jacket.
