Chapter 333 – It Turns Out That This Is Love
One week had passed since the incident of Jack's fall in the English Channel. All the media claimed that Jackson Patrick Muller had died in that incident. People who knew Jack then offered their condolences to Erick, who was currently replacing Jack as interim CEO at Muller Finance International. He had succeeded in becoming CEO and securing the company after Mr. Kevin Cormier invested in the largest funding company. And fortunately, at that time, Erick arrived on time in Switzerland, because shortly after Erick arrived, many people flocked to the company, trying to replace Jack's position as the leader of the company without knowing that Erick, Jackson Patrick Muller's right-hand man, was already there. People with evil intentions took advantage of the opportunity. They took opportunities when conditions were unstable. Even though at that time Jack had not been declared dead, people were already eager to take his position.
From Switzerland, Erick tried to lead two companies. He tried to handle everything well as Jack did before. However, Erick's ability was still below that of Jack, so he reluctantly asked all teams in England to return to Switzerland after the company in England suffered a loss. Because the co-workers who had signed a contract with Jack ran away, they took advantage of the situation to escape responsibility. Erick actually wanted to take care of them, but with the input of Mr. Kevin Cormier, he finally let the rats escaped from their responsibilities and chose to focus on stabilizing the condition of Muller Finance International at the head office.
"If you want you can come here, Anne, Erick and I will be happy to welcome you," Alice said quietly while talking one-on-one with Anne via video call.
Anne held back her tears with all her might. "No Alice, I have to continue my studies. In a few days the class will start, I can't go to Switzerland."
"But you're alone there, Anne. At least, if you move to Switzerland you won't be lonely." Alice again seduced Anne to move, because at this time all the servants and bodyguards at Jack's house were preparing to return to Switzerland on Erick's orders and would vacate Jack's mansion, which had only been inhabited for a few months.
"I'm not alone, Alice, there are still Linda and Paul who will accompany me here," replied Anne slowly, forcing a smile.
Seeing Anne smiled forcefully, Alice's tears flowed freely. As a woman, she knew very well how Anne was feeling right now. That was why she tried to get Anne to move to Switzerland to live with her, at least until Jack's body was found. Because Erick repeatedly explained to everyone that he was very sure that Jack was still alive because his body had not been found, and Erick would always believe that his master was still alive. As long as he hadn't seen Jack's body, Erick would always assume that Jack was still alive and Erick's belief was transmitted to Alice who also believed that Jack was still alive, even though everyone said that it was impossible, because no one had managed to survive after falling in the sea in the winter like now. Soon, their conversation had to end because Erick had summoned Alice for a meeting with Mr. Kevin Cormier, who was already in Switzerland.
Right after Alice hung up the phone, Anne was crying loudly. She was crying because at this point, everyone who had anything to do with Jack would leave her, which meant that she was completely left alone. She was crying very loudly, even this time her cry was louder than when she saw Leon and Steffi having an affair and the pain was ten times more painful than that time. Linda and Paul, who just got out of the hospital, couldn't do much when they saw Anne was crying like that. The couple could only stare at Anne from behind the door of Anne's new apartment from Jack, where they were currently in.
Linda and Paul were asked by Anne to help her tidy up her personal belongings as she was going to move from the new apartment. She decided to live in the same building with Linda and Paul. Although the expensive apartment was already hers, Anne decided not to sell it after leaving the apartment. She asked the apartment marketing to help her rent out the apartment to someone else, because she didn't know what to do with the first class apartment. In fact, Anne was sure that not everyone could rent an apartment with such an extraordinary security system. That was why she left everything to someone who was more skilled in dealing with such things. Although Linda really regretted Anne's decision to leave the apartment, but in the end she couldn't do anything, because Anne still insisted on getting out of the place full of memories with Jack. She did not say in detail on her reason to leave the apartment. However, Linda believed that this must have something to do with Jack's disappearance in the English Channel, especially since all of Jack's people had also returned to their home countries in Switzerland and the company that Jack had just developed in England was forced to close because Erick was unable to manage two companies at the same time. He also faced the onslaught of bad guys who want to dethrone him as interim CEO of Muller Finance International.
"Anne, are you sure? Think again before Paul gives the keys to this apartment to marketing." Linda tried to convince Anne to stay at the apartment one last time when Anne's personal belongings had been taken out of the apartment.
Anne looked at Linda with teary eyes. "How can I live in a place full of memories with him, Linda? I'm going to be crazy if I continue to be in this place. I'm pretty sure Jack is still snoring…"
"Stop, Anne… stop!!!" Linda immediately hugged Anne tightly. She didn't want to see Anne cry again. Every time she talked about Jack, her tears would always flow non-stop and Linda didn't want to see Anne continue to cry, because her eyes were already very swollen.
Paul, who had just returned from the marketing office, took a deep breath when he saw his boss's devastated condition. He still couldn't believe that someone as good as Jack would suffer such a terrible fate. Because the apartment keys had been handed over to the marketing team, Paul then took Anne and Linda out of the apartment. After Anne handed over the management of the apartment, the apartment marketing team would be responsible for everything in the apartment. Later, every month, Anne would receive income from the rental of the apartment because she was the legal owner of the apartment.
After leaving the apartment building, Anne stopped her steps suddenly.
"What's wrong, Anne?" Linda asked in confusion.
"Give me a minute, Linda," said Anne quietly.
"But what are you going to…"
Linda couldn't continue her sentence because Paul immediately pulled her hand and coded her not to disturb Anne. The pair of lovers walked away, leaving Anne alone on the path that was very neatly arranged. Anne slowly turned her body and looked at the apartment building she had just left with bloodshot eyes.
"I believe you're still alive, Jack, I'm waiting for your arrival, Jack… I'm sure God will save you from that incident. Wherever you are, my prayers are always with you, Jackson Patrick Muller. I love you, Jack… Forgive me for my selfishness all this time. Now I realize that I'm really in love with you, so come back, Jack… I'm waiting for you."
