Chapter 72 - Leon Threat 1

"So this is what you came to London actually for, Jack. Why didn't you tell me from the start?" Aaron asked again as he ate the steak he had cut earlier.

Hearing Aaron's words made Jack smile meaningfully. He then drank down the wine in his hand then put the glass on the tray of a passing waiter. Instead of answering Aaron's words, Jack grabbed the fork on Aaron's plate and stabbed a piece of meat and brought it to his mouth, which melted quickly when it touched his teeth.

"We're fishing in the same pond, Aaron. It feels very impossible if I give the same bait as yours," Jack replied softly with his mouth still chewing the steak he took from Aaron's plate.

"Fishing in the same pond?" asked Aaron, confused.

"Yup," Jack replied briefly, staring outward, where Anne was seen talking on her phone, with someone from a long time ago. Jack was very curious about who had contacted Anne.

On the other side, Leon was staring at Anne, who was with his friends. There was a strange feeling arising in Leon when he saw Anne laughing with her friends. If previously he was surprised when he saw Anne for the first time at the guest table, now a different feeling was present in him, a feeling that he couldn't describe what or why. What was certain was that he was currently very curious to know more about Anne's life. Steffi, who didn't realize that her husband was looking at Anne, still looked busy with her cell phone. She uploaded her current location with Leon on her social media account. As the wife of a great businessman, Steffi must be active on social media. She didn't want her socialite friends to call her a country bumpkin.

"They must know that I am currently accompanying Leon as guests of honor at the best art campus in London, so they must know who Steffi Ganke is," said Steffi to herself while making a caption in the photo she uploaded.

Steffi uploaded a photo of her with Leon posing with other great businessmen, including Jack and Aaron who also took the photo. Because she didn't know Jack and Aaron's social media accounts, she couldn't tag the two handsome businessmen, all she could write was their company names. And this was a special pride for Steffi to be able to have photos with other entrepreneurs, because with this she would be increasingly respected by her socialite friends.

Anne, who was enjoying lunch with Linda, who was still wearing full makeup on her face, suddenly received a phone call from an unknown number. Usually Anne wouldn't pick up an unknown number like that. But somehow, she felt she had to pick it up. Because where she was right now was very noisy, Anne had to walk away from the tents where the students had their lunch.

"So you both are in London, Madam?" asked Anne, shocked when she was connected to Mrs. Mary, the owner of the flower field, who would become a regular supplier at Anne's flower shop.

"Yes, my husband and I are on our way to your flower shop, Miss Anne. We both came with the clerk to deliver the flowers to be supplied to other flower shops," replied Mrs. Mary kindly on the end of the phone.

"Oh my God, Madam. Wait for me, I'll come to the shop right now. I'm still on the campus, please wait for me, Madam. I'll come to the shop," shrieked Anne excitedly.

"If you are still busy, you don't have to, Miss, we can both go to another shop first," said Mrs. Mary again.

"No, Madam, I'm coming home, Madam. Please don't go to another shop first, I beg you. I will go home right now," pleaded Anne with a croaked voice holding back tears.

"All right, Miss Anne, we will go to your shop first. No need to rush, we'll wait patiently for you to come," replied Mrs. Mary softly. She seemed to be able to read Anne's panicked condition from the end of the phone.

"Thank God, alright, Madam, please wait for me. I will come, please convey my apologies to Mr. Albert for troubling you both," said Anne with teary eyes.

"Yes, Miss, I can hear your voice. Since earlier my wife has turned on the speaker," said Mr. Albert, suddenly joining the conversation.

Hearing Mr. Albert's words touched Anne in tears. She then ran to the tent again after hanging up her phone call to get her bag containing her car keys and wanted to say goodbye to Linda.

"I have to go, Linda, I have very important business to do now," said Anne quietly, saying goodbye to Linda.

"But Anne, you haven't eaten yet," said Linda with a mouth full of food.

"It's okay, Linda, I'm still full. Okay, I'll go, bye, Linda ... see you tomorrow!" screamed Anne loudly as she waved her hand up as she ran towards the parking area where her car was.

From where he stood, Jack watched Anne leave in such a hurry, Jack spontaneously looked at Aaron, who was seriously talking to someone.

"If she didn't talk to Aaron on the phone earlier, then who was she talking to?" Jack said to himself. He looked back at Anne's sedan that slowly left the campus area carefully.

At the same place, Leon still didn't take his eyes off of Anne. Ever since Anne first spoke to someone on the phone. "You've changed, Marianne," Leon muttered unconsciously.

Anne drove her car at an above average speed in order to get to her flower shop on time. She didn't want to make Mrs. Mary and her husband, Mr. Albert, wait. She didn't want to make other people wait, because she herself didn't like being made to wait by people. Therefore, trying to get to her shop first, after driving for almost twenty minutes, Anne finally arrived at the flower shop which was still closed because she hadn't hired any employees as she wanted herself to look after the flower shop for a while.

"Oh thank God, I got to the shop first," said Anne gratefully as she walked from her car, taking out her flower shop key in her bag.

Not wanting to wait any longer, Anne unlocked the shop quickly. She also immediately turned on the air conditioner to let out the stuffy air in the shop. Even though the flower shop was small, because Anne put a lot of windows in various corners, the flower shop now looks wider. After Anne finished tidying up some unused items, a box car came to a stop right in front of Anne's flower shop. Shortly afterwards, Mr. Albert and Mrs. Mary came down with a friendly smile towards Anne, who was waiting in front of the shop.

Mrs. Mary, who had previously contacted Anne, seemed surprised when she saw that the girl who had met her a few days ago, was already in front of the shop. So was Mr. Albert. Even though they clearly knew that Anne was on campus, because earlier when Mrs. Mary contacted Anne, she sounded very busy. Shortly afterward, two of Mrs. Mary's employees were seen taking down the flowers that were already on the flower list ordered by Anne beforehand, while Mrs. Mary and Mr. Albert were seen sitting chatting with Anne in the shop.

"Next time, don't be like that, child, you could be in danger if you drive in such a hurry. We can still wait for you to get to the shop, so don't do it again, it's very dangerous," said Mr. Albert, shocked when he heard Anne said that she had purposely come home from campus and went to meet them at the flower shop after driving at high speed.

"Yes, child, that's very dangerous," added Mrs. Mary, as surprised as her husband.

"Yes sir, madam. I will not do it again. Actually the road was quiet, so I can come earlier than expected," answered Anne with a smile.

"You're still speeding, you bad girl. Don't do it again, beautiful," asked Mrs. Mary gently as she touched Anne's face.

"Yes Madam, I'm sorry. I did that because I didn't want to make both of you wait too long if I arrived late, so I chose to speed a little so I could get to the shop on time," said Anne softly.

Mrs. Mary then hugged Anne tightly. She really didn't expect to meet a girl who really respected the elderly like Anne today, while many young people of Anne's age did whatever they wanted. After all the flowers that Anne ordered had been placed in the shop, Mrs. Mary and Mr. Albert then said goodbye to Anne. They had to get on with the work of delivering other orders to other customer shops. Anne waved at Mrs. Mary and Mr. Albert as their car left her flower shop. After the car was out of sight, Anne then went into her shop to tidy up the beautiful fresh flowers that had just arrived.
