Chapter 99 - Still Friends



Chapter 99 - Still Friends

When lunch time arrived, Anne decided to close the shop for a while to find something to eat with Linda, who had been begging for food. Anne felt a little guilty to Linda because Jack had taken their lunch.

"Anne, come on." Linda whined repeatedly to Anne for the umpteenth time.

"Patience Linda, I want to make sure the door is locked," answered Anne quietly.

"It will be full of Anne, the place is a favorite of youngsters, Anne," said Linda again, looking at the watch on her right hand.

"Y-yes let's go now, ju .."

Anne could not finish her words when she looked behind Linda, where right now a van bearing the name of a quite famous restaurant stopped right in front of her Civic car. From inside the car, three girls who were carrying some brown bags got off. They then walked over to Anne and Linda.

"It's for Miss Anne."

"Y-yes, I'm Anne." Anne stuttered in reply.

"I came to take these for you," said the girl back, handing the brown bag she brought to Anne.

"What is this? I did not order anything. Are you not mistaken, Miss?" Asked Anne, surprised.

"No, Miss, the address is right. Please sign here, Miss, we have to continue with other work," replied the girl kindly, while handing a receipt to Anne.

Because she didn't want to hinder the work of the female courier in front of her, Anne then took the pen that the female courier had given her and signed the receipt. After that, the female courier then gave two brown bags to her and two other girls behind her. As a result, right now Anne was carrying lots of brown bags in her hands, Linda, who saw Anne's struggle, walked over to Anne and grabbed a few bags from Anne's hand.

"Who are they?" Linda asked quietly.

"Courier," answered Anne shortly.

"I know. Anne. I mean, who sent them, Anne?" Linda replied.

"That's what I don't know. I have to find out first who sent this much food," said Anne softly as she looked at the six bags in front of her.

While trying to guess who sent the food, suddenly the cell phone in Anne's trouser pocket suddenly vibrated because of an incoming message. As she just wanted to go to lunch, Anne didn't bring her bag. She only took her cell phone and kept it in her pocket. Anne quickly reached for her cell phone to see who had sent the message.

Her face flushed red when she saw Jack's name appear on her cell phone screen, Anne slowly touched her cell phone screen to read the message. Anne's smile appeared when she read the it. Linda, who was curious, joined in to find out and looked at Anne's cell phone.

"Linda, it's rude to peek like that!!" said Anne in a high voice as she pulled her cell phone away from Linda's face.

"I wonder what makes you smile, Anne," said Linda guiltlessly.

"Don't mess around, let's go in. I'm already hungry, this food will be cold soon," said Anne quickly as she turned to face the flower shop door she had just locked.

Linda only pursed her lips in response to Anne's words. She then followed Anne's steps into the flower shop. To be honest, she couldn't wait to see what the food was in her hands, because the smell of the food was so fragrant. When they were inside the shop, Anne carefully put the three bags in her hand on the table, as did Linda. Both Anne and Linda's eyes were perfectly widened when they saw the food that was served in front of them. The smell of steak was piercing their noses that it increased their hunger. Without thinking, Anne and Linda then sat down and enjoyed the food that was sent by Jack. Not a single word came out of their lips. Anne then grabbed her cell phone and sent a thank you message to Jack. She felt bad getting that much food delivered.

"No wonder this morning he had asked me not to think about the lunch menu. Apparently he already intended to send this much food," said Anne softly without realizing it.

"What are you talking about, Anne?" Linda asked with a mouth full of food.

"No Linda, I didn't say anything. I'm commenting on the delicious taste of this food," said Anne, lying stuttered.

"Yes, you're right, this food must be expensive Anne. The meat is very tender and taste this asparagus soup, it's amazing. I've never tasted asparagus soup this good since I live alone in London," said Linda excitedly.

"Same with me, this is the first time I'm enjoying it Linda. The chef must be so great that he can make soup this good," said Anne quickly.

"The man who delivered this food must love you very much Anne ..,"

Cough

Cough

Anne choked when she heard Linda's words. Without being asked Linda immediately gave mineral water to Anne who was coughing.

"Slow down Anne, I didn't ask for it," said Linda without guilt.

"It's your fault, Linda, you're talking nonsense," said Anne fiercely.

Hearing Anne's words made Linda laugh. She then grabbed a tissue and wiped her lips from the scattered barbeque sauce.

"It's only logic, Anne. How could there be a man who is willing to send this much food to you if he does not like you?" Linda raised an eyebrow teasingly at Anne.

"We're just friends, Linda," said Anne softly.

Linda got up from her chair and approached Anne and put her hand on Anne's shoulder.

"There is no such thing as a friendly relationship between a man and a woman, Anne, one of them must have a different feeling. Trust me," Linda whispered softly.

After saying that, Linda then walked to the refrigerator to get another bottle of mineral water. Anne could only listen to Linda's words. She felt that Linda's words really tickled her heart. Anne, who was still traumatized by her former love relationship, was still not ready to open her heart to anyone. She really only considered Jack and Aaron, the two men she had been close to lately, only as friends. Even though there was a strange feeling that bothered her when she was with Jack.

Meanwhile, at Muller Finance International, Jack smiled when he realized that his message had been read by Anne. He then returned to focus on Erick, who was giving a presentation to the team at the meeting. Even though it was only opened yesterday, Jack was already moving fast. He wanted to get to work and made Muller Finance International's new office grow rapidly like its parent in Geneva, Switzerland. Jack wanted to make Muller Finance International the largest finance office in London so he could stay by Anne's side.

"Everything I do is only for you Anne, I want to give the best for you," said Jack to himself.

London International Airport

An airplane from Ireland landed smoothly on the runway and soon the passengers of the plane got off one by one. Among the passengers, Leonardo Ganke was seen walking with sturdy steps. A faint smile crossed his lips. He was happy to finally be back in London. When he arrived at the airport lobby, he immediately got into the taxi that stopped.

"The Royal Horseguard Hotel, please," said Leon kindly as soon as he got into the taxi.

"Yes, sir," said the taxi driver quickly.

Not long after that, the taxi left the airport to the hotel that Leon had mentioned. This afternoon, Leon decided to return to London after a big fight with Steffi, after Steffi said that her new jewelry which she thought was not as beautiful as the jewelry of one of her socialite colleagues. Leon was angry with Steffi, who kept on nagging to buy new jewelry even though she had just bought a set of diamond jewelry just a week ago.

"You can only spend my money, Steffi, you do not help my name rise in society at all. Your charity and association activities are of no use at all," Leon said to himself.

Leon slowly lowered the cab glass window and began to light a match to light a cigarette, after he got permission from the taxi driver to be able to smoke in the taxi. Leon's mind wandered to Anne. Anne's smile was still strong in his memory.

"Why have you been hiding your beauty all this time, Anne? Why do you have to pretend you can't dress up when you were my wife, Anne?" Leon kept wondering in his confusion, he still couldn't understand why Anne did that back then.

Leon really regretted his earlier stupidity that had insulted and wasted Anne. If he had known that Anne was that beautiful, he would not have been tempted to Steffi's persuasion three years ago. Leon decided to return to London after he got Anne's cell phone number from Professor Gilbert. Leon wanted to try to approach his ex-wife again.
