Chapter 121 - Trying To Focus
Paul, who just arrived, was excited when he saw the latest edition sports motorcycle was in front of his eyes. He seemed very impressed with the motorbike. Likewise with Linda, who was very amazed by the black motorbike, while Anne was the only person who seemed very confused by it. She did not think that she had bought or ordered the motorbike that Paul was currently riding. The young man was excited because he thought he got a motorbike from Anne.

The vibrations of the cell phone inside her jacket made Anne wake up from her confusion. She immediately grabbed her cell phone and saw who had contacted her.
"Jack." Anne muttered softly when she saw Jack's name appear on her cell phone screen.
Anne quickly shifted the screen of her cell phone to receive the call.
"Hello ..."
"Do you like it? I mean do your courier like the new motorbike?" Jack asked, quickly interrupting Anne's words.
"So this is you, Jack!!" Anne yelled loudly without realizing it.
Anne's voice was loud enough to make Linda and Paul, who were admiring the sports motorbike, immediately turned to Anne who was talking to Jack on the phone. Realizing that she was the center of attention, Anne quickly moved away from Paul and Linda.
"Why did you give that motorbike, Jack? I don't need it!!" Anne snarled.
"You don't really need it, but your courier needs it. Don't you feel sorry for him? Just imagine, Anne, the man has to get on and off a city bus with a large bouquet of roses to deliver to customers. He may have no problem during the first month, but I guarantee you, the next month he will feel uncomfortable being the center of attention on a bus like that. Not to mention if the bus he was on was full. Can you imagine how difficult he will be, Anne? "Jack asked quietly.
Hearing Jack's words made Anne speechless. She didn't think that way at all. This was because the flower order delivered by Paul today was not too far away. It only took five minutes by bus.
"Paul just worked today, I don't think that way, Jack," answered Anne quietly.
"I know. That's why I gave him a motorbike so that he was comfortable working," said Jack softly.
"What if the motorbike was taken away, Jack, you don't know him," asked Anne, without realizing it.
In the car, Jack smiled at the question from Anne. It was a question that he expected to come out of Anne's lips.
"Whatever you believe, I believe you too, Anne. Because you have hired Paul in your flower shop, so I trust that he is a good person," replied Jack agai<n.
Anne's face immediately felt hot at Jack's words. She unconsciously touched her racing chest.
"Well then, Anne, I almost reach the office. Tonight when you get home, I'll call you back." Jack spoke softly before ending the call.
Anne was just silent and did not say anything. Even when Jack had disconnected the telephone, Anne still had not lowered the smart phone from her ear. She was still hypnotized by Jack's previous words. She really didn't understand Jack's attitude towards her.
"Why do you have to be like this to me, Jack? I'm not ready to fall in love again, Jack, I'm not ready to be hurt again," said Anne to herself with teary eyes, staring at the motorbile that Paul was leading to her.

Aaron, who had just returned from the apartment after taking Thomas to meet Elea, appeared to be massaging his aching head. Daniel who saw Aaron like that could only be silent. He didn't dare to open his mouth for fear that it would make Aaron even more dizzy.
"What did I do wrong today, Daniel?" asked Aaron quietly.
"What do you mean, Boss?" Daniel asked in confusion.
"Elea, did what do to help her was wrong?" Aaron asked back.
"I think what you did to arrest Mr. Steven was not your fault, sir, because Mr. Thomas and Miss Elea had requested you to do it. But when you interfered in love issues or the continuation of the romance between Mr. Steven and Miss Elea, that's the problem, Sir," replied Daniel quietly, carefully.
Hearing Daniel's words made Aaron silent. He was really confused by his friend. Steven's father, Mr. Jason, had filed a lawsuit against Thomas for what he did today to Steven in the old warehouse. Aaron, who felt that he took part in this, felt innocent and uncomfortable to Thomas, who was being sued by Jason Dawkins.
"I don't think you need to interfere in this matter anymore, sir, I'm sure Mr. Thomas can solve this problem well. If you still interfere with what happened between Mr. Thomas and Mr. Jason Dawkins, then you will be in trouble yourself in the future. In this matter, you are an outsider who who have no interest at all in their relationship. So I can only advise you not to continue to interfere in this matter. I'm sure Mr. Thomas can definitely deal with Mr. Jason, because we all know Mr. Thomas's family background. I'm very sure he will be able to deal with Mr. Jason Dawkins easily," said Daniel again, trying to give input to Aaron.
"You're right, Daniel. It looks like I have to stop and not continue to interfere in this matter. Let Thomas and Uncle Samuel solve everything," Aaron replied softly.
Bang!
"Now that's the Aaron that I know!!" Daniel yelled loudly as he hit the table in front of him so hard that it shocked Aaron.
"Damn you, Daniel, you surprised me! Let's continue the work that was delayed yesterday. I have to find a way so I don't have to stay in Northampton," Aaron said in an elevated voice.
"So you still don't want to stay in Northampton for a few months when the project opened, Sir?" asked Daniel with a raised voice in disbelief, because during their last conversation with Aaron, he was sure that Aaron would want to stay in Northampton.
"I already have a great assistant like you, so why should I stay in Northampton as well?" Aaron replied quickly with a broad smile.
"Wait a minute, so you mean I have to stay in Northampton to replace you while the project starts? Is that what you mean, Sir?" asked Daniel in disbelief.
"Yupp," replied Aaron casually as he reached for an important file that had to be examined.
Hearing Aaron's words made Daniel frantic. He didn't agree with the decision Aaron had just made for him. The reason was that if he was at Northampton and supervising the project, then he would have additional workload. In other words, he would not be able to have his usual fun. When Daniel whimpered against the decision given by him, Aaron just smiled and continued to read the file that was in his hand. He pretended not to hear Daniel's whining as Daniel refused his orders.
"If you refuse the order that I gave, then don't blame me if I withdraw all the facilities you get right now and hand them over to the person who will replace your position, Daniel," said Aaron suddenly.
Thump!
Daniel immediately closed his mouth tightly when he heard the threat that came out of Aaron's lips.
"You're cruel," Daniel bitterly snapped.
"I have to, I'm your boss, don't forget that. You don't have a lover in London anyway, Daniel, so you don't have to leave this city for a few months, unlike me who already has Anne," Aaron said quickly as he got up from his chair and walked to the bathroom. .
"What do you mean you have Anne? Your relationship has not even progressed," said Daniel curtly.
"I heard that, Daniel. Your salary will be cut 5% next month!!" Aaron shouted loudly from inside the bathroom.
"Nooo! You can't do that to me, Sir. You can't cut my salary!" Daniel screamed in panic as he ran towards the bathroom and banged on the door where Aaron was currently washing his face in the bathroom.
Aaron, who was still in the bathroom, just smiled as he heard Daniel's whining and screaming at the bathroom door. Actually, what he said was just a bluff. He couldn't possibly do it because he didn't have the heart to cut Daniel's salary. He was only annoyed at Daniel who dared to mock him for not being able to have Anne completely.
"It seems like what Daniel said is true. I have to be more aggressive in approaching Anne. I can't lose her. Anne must be mine. She belongs to Aaron Sean Connery," Aaron said softly, staring at his wet face in the mirror.
