I’ll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 103 – An Honest Heart

"Anne … Anne … Anne … Anne … why are you so insensitive? In what way should I tell you everything, Anne? Didn't you realize all my attention during the last year and a half, Anne? Why are you this stupid, Anne?" Jack muttered to himself saying Anne's name over and over again while lowering his head to the steering wheel. 

Because his mind was still wandering about Aaron and Anne, Jack finally decided to go back to Anne's apartment. He wanted to ask Anne directly. Now he had decided to get answers from Anne whatever it is. 

When he was on his way to Anne's apartment, suddenly his cell phone rang quite loudly many times. At first, Jack ignored the call but the caller did not stop bothering him. 

Finally, Jack slowed down his car and looked for a quiet place to stop and picked up the incoming call on his cell phone. 

His eyes narrowed when he saw that an anonymous number had called him six times. Because he did not know the number, he intended to block it, but when he was about to block it, suddenly the number called again, and he accidentally picked up. 

"Jack here .." 

"Hi Mr. Muller, it's hard to reach you," said a woman on the other end of the phone interrupting Jack's words. 

"Who is this?" Jack asked curiously, because he did not recognize the voice of the woman he was talking to. 

"Marissa Henderson, we met a while ago when you opened your new office, Mr. Muller," Marissa Henderson replied quickly.

Jack, who didn't remember Marissa at first, then remembered the time when the girl said her last name and their meeting place two days ago at the opening of his new office. 

"Can I help you, Miss Henderson?" Jack asked briefly. He was not in the mood to deal with women like Marissa. After becoming acquainted with Marissa, apparently Jack had immediately asked his men to gather all the information about Marissa Henderson's activities. Because he felt uncomfortable at Marissa's eyes that seemed to want to swallow him alive. 

"Why is it so hard to be close to you, sir? Today I came to the office, but your receptionist said that you were in a meeting outside and when I asked for your cell phone number, she didn't want to give it to me. 

Tomorrow when you go to the office, just fire an employee like that. Very disappointing and impolite," Marissa replied with a chuckle.

"What the receptionist did was the right thing because she carried out the orders that I gave. I did forbid my staff to give my personal number to people I didn't know even if it was a colleague. 

So I will not possibly fire employees who have done the job according to the orders I gave and if I may know, how did you get my number, Miss Henderson?" asked Jack coldly.

"Hahahaha you might be able to forbid your employees not to share your cell phone number, sir, but for a Marissa Henderson getting your cell phone number is not a difficult job. Moreover, I am a famous socialite in London," Marissa replied boastfully. 

"Oh I see, okay, now because you've got my phone number, tell me what is your purpose to call me tonight," said Jack flatly, glancing at his watch which showed half past two in the morning. 

"I want to be close to you, Mr. Muller, I fell in love with you from the first time I saw you yesterday. Did you accept my love statement, Mr. Muller?" Marissa chuckled.

Jack raised an eyebrow at Marissa's words. He felt that there was something wrong with Marissa Henderson who was currently calling him.

"Are you drunk, Miss?" Jack asked back quickly.

Marisa burst out laughing at Jack's words for almost two minutes. She was happy because Jack was concerned about her.

"I think we are really destined to be together, Mr. Muller. It turns out that even though we don't meet, you have been this concerned about me. Yes I was drunk, I was drunk thinking about you sir. 

I have never fallen in love with a man so quickly, that's why I became like this. I'm drunk because of my love is so much for you, Mr. Muller," Marissa replied quickly without embarrassment.

If the one who said this was Anne, maybe Jack would be overjoyed, but because the one who said this was someone else, Marissa Henderson to be exact, he became disgusted. Because Jack already knew who the real Marissa Henderson was. 

"You better go home and hurry to sleep, Miss, your speech is not clear. I also have to go to sleep, good night." Jack finally hung up on Marissa's call unilaterally. He then switched off his cell phone because he didn't want to be bothered by Marissa anymore. 

"Tomorrow I have to buy a new cell phone if this is the case. I'm sure that crazy girl will continue to bother me," Jack said softly as he threw his cell phone into the backseat of his car roughly. 

Because his mood was getting worse, Jack then got out of his car and walked to a convenience store that opened 24 hours. He wanted to buy some drinks to ease the frustration in his heart. When he found out that Marissa was drunk when she contacted him, Jack suddenly wanted to drink too. 

Jack already knew who Marissa really was. So from that he was not interested to deal with the girl, because his men he ordered to find out about Marissa had reported everything to him, about who Marissa really was. 

Even though Marissa was very beautiful and had a perfect body, but she was still a player. She was used to targeting rich young businessmen to become her new source of money to support her glamorous lifestyle. 

As a socialite who was quite famous in London, Marissa was indeed required to appear all over the world, therefore it was not surprising that Marissa always appeared with branded and limited edition goods. 

However, because her father was unable to afford the lifestyle of Marissa and her sister who could only waste money, he finally stopped his financial support for Marissa and Kimberly, so since then Marissa began to prey on entrepreneurs who she could seduce with her face and body. 

Actually, the method Marissa used was fine, because this method was familiar in the business world. However, because Marissa always considered herself beautiful and sexy, she would choose new young entrepreneurs to satisfy her desires as well. 

Therefore Marissa was also known as a class A call woman among entrepreneurs in London.

After finding out who the real identity of Marissa Henderson was, Jack then tried to keep his distance from her, so he ordered all his employees not to give his cell phone number to just anyone. 

He only accepted phone calls from his important clients after being recommended by Erick, but somehow Marissa was able to contact him. Thinking about it making Jack's already damaged mood even more messy. 

His intention to invite Anne to dinner and  enjoy the Alaskan crab that he specially ordered was finally canceled. Yet, since noon Jack had been imagining how happy Anne would be if she ate that super big crab.

"Aaron, you bastard, you were beating the drums of war with me from the start. So don't blame me if I'm going to get you into trouble," Jack said softly as he took the last drink in his bottle. 

After finishing a bottle of whiskey alone, Jack finally left the convenience store to continue his journey. Even though he had drunk a lot, he was still able to drive his car. 

Moreover, his destination was not far away. Even though it was almost morning, Jack was still determined to meet Anne. He had to meet with Anne tonight. 

And soon Jack finally arrived at Anne's apartment. He immediately got out of his car with a little stagger. Lucky that Anne's apartment was not too far away from where he had been drinking before, so that it didn't take him too long to reach his destination. His head really felt very heavy right now. Spending a bottle of whiskey alone was the stupidest thing he had done. 

Because it was almost morning, the night security guards looked tired. They were really sleeping soundly and did not realize that a stranger had entered the apartment. The reason was usually if someone who was not a resident went past the normal visiting hours, they would get a check first to avoid unwanted things. 

Since there was a murder case in the apartment complex not far from Anne's apartment a few months ago, Anne's apartment carried out checks on guests just to be on guard. However, because Jack came when the sun was about to rise, the security guards were asleep because they were on guard all night long.  As soon as he got into the elevator, Jack immediately pressed the 10th floor button, where Anne's room was located. 

"Fuck … my head hurts," said Jack, cursing his own stupidity from drinking too much.

After the elevator stopped, Jack immediately got out of the elevator without thinking. He then walked slowly to Anne's room while holding on to the wall. 

Bang! Bang!

"Anne … open your door, it's me Jack Anne," 

Anne, who was making breakfast in the pantry, vaguely heard a knock on the door which was quite loud. At first, she did not think the knock on the door was coming from her door. But when she returned to listening carefully, she finally realized that the knocking sound was coming from the front door of her room. Because she didn't want to disturb her neighbors, Anne then took off the apron that was attached to her waist. She then walked quickly to the door to find out who had visited her so early. 

"Jack, what are you doing?!" shrieked Anne in surprise when she saw Jack was standing in front of her room, looking down. 

"Anne, Ieee … crap." 

"Jack!!!!"
