Chapter 239 - The Accumulated Yearning
Chapter 239 - The Accumulated Yearning
During the trip home, Anne chose to stand even though there were many empty seats on the bus. But because she felt uncomfortable sitting down, Anne finally chose to stand for almost an hour on the way to her apartment.
"Why am I in such a bad mood today?" Anne spoke to herself as she walked towards the apartment together with the other apartment residents who had also just come home from work.
Anne's smile widened when she saw the little children running to greet their fathers who had just came home from work. Harmonious family displays that Anne had always wanted. Because the day was getting colder, Anne finally accelerated her steps towards the apartment. When she was in the elevator, Anne immediately froze when she felt a warm liquid wet her panties.
"Oh my God," Anne screamed spontaneously when she realized that her period was coming.
Two middle-aged women who had just returned from work immediately turned to Anne who was standing behind them. "What's wrong, lady?"
"It's nothing, Ma'am, I-I suddenly remembered that one of my favorite Korean dramas has started," replied Anne, lying.
"Wow, you like Korean dramas, do you? Me too. I really like Lee Min Ho and Kim Taehyung who are beautiful like a woman," said one of the middle-aged women with glasses, excitedly.
"Kim Taehyung?"
"Yes, the beautiful man I have idolized since a few years ago. Here's his photo." The middle-aged woman with glasses quickly pointed her cell phone at Anne.
Looking at her neighbor's cell phone screen, Anne smiled wryly, because the photo she showed her was one of the BTS boy band members, which incidentally was a singer, not an actor.
"I like his friend named Jungkook. Seeing a handsome man really makes me excited again even though I'm tired of working all day at the office hehehe," the other woman said.
"Hehehe, yes Ma'am," replied Anne flatly as she returned the cell phone in her hand to the owner.
"Who do you like, Miss?" asked the two women together to Anne.
"I like all the actors, Ma'am, because I can't act so I admire them all hehe," replied Anne slowly with a forced smile.
Hearing Anne's words made the two women nod their heads at the same time. As a result, while in the elevator, Anne finally got involved in a chat about BTS members in the elevator with the two middle-aged women in front of her. Anne just smiled when she heard the two women in front of her talk excitedly. She chose not to talk too much because she felt that her period would drip even more. Finally the elevator stopped on the eighth floor and the two women, who actually lived on the same floor, left together after failing to invite Anne to stop by at their unit.
"Promise me, Anne, later on when we have a day off, we will chat about our idols together again," said the woman with the glasses named Emma excitedly.
"Yes Ma'am," replied Anne briefly with a friendly smile.
"Don't just go to Emma's place, Anne, you should come to mine too." Ms. Judy joined in.
"Yes Ms. Judy, I will definitely visit your place too. Then if you'll excuse me, have a good rest, Ma'am and see you later," Anne responded to the two kind women she had just met in a friendly manner.
Soon the elevator door closed and took Anne to the tenth floor. After the elevator door opened, Anne immediately ran to her room. She didn't want to dirty the floor with her menstrual blood that was coming out more and more. As soon as she managed to open her room, Anne just put her bag on the floor right in front of the door and went straight into the bathroom.
"No wonder my mood is so messed up, it turns out that my period is coming, but why did it come so soon? Even though it's usually the eighteenth, it's still the fifteenth," said Anne quietly after she finished cleaning herself and put her clothes that had been cleaned of blood stains in the washing machine. .
Because her stomach felt uncomfortable, Anne chose to rest. A biting pain began to attack her stomach. Because her cell phone hadn't been switched from silent mode, so Anne didn't hear that at the moment, Jack had called her many times, even though her cell phone was already on the nightstand beside her bed.

Jack, who had just finished the meeting, seemed very annoyed at the moment because Anne again did not respond to his calls. Erick, who realized that Jack's mood was not good, finally tried to calm his boss. He repeatedly tapped Jack's hand, reminding him to stay calm, because right now they were still at the client's place. Even though the meeting was over, they still had to maintain an attitude so as not to give a bad impression in the client's eyes. That was why Erick tried hard to calm Jack down. Meanwhile, Alice was seen tidying up the documents on the table deftly.
"Thank you, Mr. Ron, I hope our cooperation goes well in the future," said Jack kindly as he shook his new business partner's hand firmly.
"I hope so too, Mr. Jack. It is an honor for us to work with the well-known Muller Finance International," answered Mr. Ron quickly.
"Well then if you'll excuse us, Sir, see you at the next meeting," said Jack again, with a smile on his face.
"See you sir, be careful on the road." Mr Ron Perron replied kindly to Jack's words.
Not long after that, Jack and his men left the office of Mr. Ron Perron. Their current destination was to a restaurant in a five-star hotel in the city center. Jack's schedule today was really full, he didn't have the slightest break. That was why he had been protesting to Alice, his secretary, who had made such a busy schedule.
"I'm just doing my job as secretary, sir, after all you agreed to it. So it's not my fault," answered Alice curtly in response to Jack's ravings.
"Yes, I do agree, but why is it a marathon meeting like this, I mean," said Jack again.
"Only one more meeting left, sir, after that tomorrow your schedule is empty. Be patient," Erick said slowly.
"Is it true that my schedule is empty tomorrow?" asked Jack excitedly.
"Hopefully so," Alice fearlessly answered Jack's question.
"Alice, you're such a bitch," Jack shrieked loudly.
From the front seat, Alice chuckled. She was delighted to be teasing her master. Alice was very satisfied today to see her boss having a tantrum because he couldn't contact Anne. Because she didn't want to make Jack got even more upset, Alice finally busied herself by reading important files that would be used for a meeting soon.
"Why don't you reply to any messages from me, Anne? Are you okay?" said Jack in his heart as he closed his eyes.
Erick, who was sitting next to Jack, smiled when he saw his boss finally calmed down, since he was the only sane person who was the mediator between Jack and Alice who had a fight. His job as a personal assistant to Jackson Patrick Muller was exhausting inside and out.

< Connery Corporation >
Aaron, who had also been busy with his work in the last few days, seemed to have just finished a meeting with Mr. Bob. His collaboration project with Mr. Bob in Northampton was almost half done. The thirty-story three-building apartment was already in the finishing stages with the installation of electrical wiring and internet. Knowing that one of his masterpieces was almost finished, Aaron became very excited.
"With this, I will position Connery Corporation at the top, there will be no other property company that can match the achievements of Connery Corporation," Aaron said excitedly.
"Yes sir, but don't be careless. Because the more you are at the top, the more your enemies will try to bring you down," said Daniel slowly.
"I know about it, Daniel, you don't need to worry. As long as you are by my side, everything will go smoothly, Daniel," Aaron joked with a chuckle.
Daniel just shook his head slowly hearing Aaron's answer. Because he didn't want to disturb Aaron's happiness, Daniel finally left Aaron's office to continue his work again. He was happy to see Aaron was focused on his work again and had stop focusing on his feud with a Jackson Patrick Muller to get Anne's attention.

"Wait I'm completely healed, Aaron, I will come to you again. You are mine. No other woman can have you. If I can't have you, then no other woman can have you," said a beautiful woman whose head was still wrapped in gauze talking to herself, while clutching a photo of Aaron surrounded by UAL students, on the bed where she had been for the past few weeks. Today, she was allowed to go home by the doctor who had just done plastic surgery to remove the wounds on her body.
