Chapter 271 - Aaron's Search
The car Aaron was driving finally arrived at its destination, without waiting long he got out of his car and rushed into the building with a shopping bag containing various supplies to have some barbeque party with Anne and spend the weekend together. However, when he arrived at the apartment lobby, he heard several security guards talking about one of the residents on the tenth floor who moved out from their apartment recently. Aaron got curious since they mentioned the floor where Anne's unit was located.
"It's a shame that such a nice lady has to move out of our apartment."
"Yes, you're right, moreover the lady is very friendly and doesn't hesitate to greet us first even when we are just lowly workers. Things will feel so different once she moves out of this apartment."
"But that's how life is, things must change. The residents come and go out of this place just like what she does. We as workers can only watch it while maintaining the security of this place so that it will continue to be safe to any residents who will live here."
"Hopefully that kind lady gets a better place to live than this place and I think she will never find any trouble wherever she lives. Good people like her will always be protected by God."
"Amen."
The four security guards finished their conversation when they said amen together, sweat could be seen running down their faces even though it was still winter. Out of curiosity, Aaron went to the security officers.
"Excuse me, may I know who that beautiful lady you're talking about is?" He asked quietly.
"Miss Marianne, the beautiful and kind-hearted resident of room 10672 on the 10th floor," a security guard who was sitting answered Aaron's question quickly.
Brakk
Aaron's bag fell on the floor when he heard Anne's name being mentioned by one of them. He ran towards the elevator which happened to be open because some residents were getting out of it at the same time. Seeing Aaron just leave, several security people who were standing near him immediately tidied up the things that had been scattered on the floor to be returned once Aaron came down to the lobby again.
"No… Anne, I'm sure it's not you. You can't move out of this apartment without telling me first, I'm sure it wasn't you. I'm sure."
Aaron spoke to himself, he tried to convince himself that what the security guards just talked about was not the Anne he knew. He was sure that the Marianne they were discussing was not Marianne. Since he was alone in the elevator, it didn't take him long to reach Anne's room. He quickly arrived on the tenth floor. As soon as the elevator took him to the tenth floor, Aaron ran quickly to the apartment unit at the end of the hall. His heart was beating very fast when he saw several men come out of Anne's apartment unit with several large boxes. The men were officers from a moving service company. It could be seen from the uniforms they were wearing.
"Excuse me, is the resident of this room moved out already?" Aaron asked in a trembling voice.
"Yes, Sir, the resident of this room has moved and asked us to vacate this apartment as soon as possible," a fat man answered Aaron's question politely.
"Where… where does she move to?"
"We don't know where she moves, Sir. We are only asked to move the things in this room to the office because someone else will pick these things up from our office, Sir. May I know what kind of relationship you have with the resident of this room, Sir?" A middle-aged man who turned out to be the manager answered Aaron's question.
Aaron's face turned pale as if he had lost all his blood. He almost fell when trying to step back, fortunately, his reflexes were quick so he could lean against the wall for a while before finally walking away from Anne's old apartment towards the elevator. Aaron was seen pulling out his cellphone, he tried to contact Anne. But the call was rejected because Anne's phone was turned off. But Aaron didn't care about that. He kept trying to call Anne and hoping that Anne would pick up, even though at his first trial he already heard the automatic answering machine indicating that the owner of the phone had turned off her cell phone.
After trying to contact Anne more than five times and not getting connected, Aaron decided to use another method. He contacted some of his men to look for Anne until he found her, he also sent beautiful photos of Anne to his men who had been given the task of looking for Anne. When the elevator arrived at the lobby there were already two security people waiting for Aaron's arrival.
"Excuse me, Sir, this is your stuff earlier..."
"Just take it, you two can enjoy it together for dinner," Aaron quickly answered the security guard's words while raising his hands in the air without looking back as he walked towards the parking area where his car was.
"Thank you so much, Sir," the two security guards said loudly to thank Aaron, they were happy to have a nice free dinner.
In his car, Aaron was seen talking to his men through the phone. "I only give you time until tomorrow, I want you to find where my woman currently lives as soon as possible. Don't disappoint me."
After he finished speaking, Aaron then threw his cell phone into the seat next to him in annoyance, both of his hands gripping the steering wheel of his luxury car with his eyes wide open in anger.
"You're mine, Anne, I've decided to get you. You can't just walk away after breaking my heart, I'll find you, Anne. I swear," Aaron muttered quietly, he stepped on the gas hard to increase the car's speed, splitting the snowy road.
***
At Jack's mansion, Anne was still begging Jack to be allowed to go back to her apartment, she insisted on tidying up her things. Anne felt uncomfortable when other people touched her personal belongings, especially if a man touched her clothes.
"Jack, come on... let me go even just for a minute. I will just pack my clothes, after that I'll come back to your house and..."
"Our house," Jack replied curtly at Anne's words, he immediately cut Anne's words without feeling guilty.
Anne let out a long and slow breath while talking, Jack was testing the limits of her patience.
"Jack… please. Just give me ten minutes, I don't like my clothes being touched by someone else. Do you want my underwear to be touched by another man?!" Anne screamed when Jack seemed to be reaching for his smartphone which was lying on the table.
Blush
Jack's cheeks suddenly turned red when he heard Anne's words.
Quickly, Jack walked over to Anne who was standing not far from where he was, his hands raised in the air like they were about to hit. Seeing Jack's unexpected attitude, Anne turned down her face, she immediately raised her hands trying to protect herself from Jack's punch.
"Ah… Jack!!!"
Slap
"Shut up or I will punish you more severely than this, Anne," Jack spoke curtly after he hit Anne's buttocks while carrying her on his shoulders like he was carrying a sack of rice without difficulty.
Anne, who was on Jack's shoulder, refrained from opening her mouth again. It wasn't because she was afraid of Jack's threat, but because she was holding back nausea after being carried by him in an uncomfortable position. Her stomach was still full of food and it was firmly pressed against Jack's shoulders. It felt like all the food in her stomach was going to come out again, that was why Anne covered her mouth with both hands. She was holding back from throwing up on Jack's clothes for the umpteenth time.
