Chapter 45 - Shopia's Arrival
Chapter 45 – Shopia’s Arrival
Anne only arrived at her apartment when the sun began to set. She got out of the neatly parked car carrying a large bag containing several fashion magazines, which she would use as reference material for Mrs. Martha's assignments. In fact, today she planned to shop for some stuff for her new flower shop. But since she had an assignment from Mrs. Martha, Anne eventually had to cancel her plan.
"Oh my God, I'm so tired today," said Anne softly, when she entered the apartment.
After putting the magazines she had just bought on the sofa, Anne walked to the pantry to open the refrigerator. She immediately drank cold almond milk to ease her thirst. Afterwards, she prepared dinner before starting to do the assignment. When her dinner was done, she enjoyed it in the pantry. Anne sat on a bar stool in the pantry, reading the incoming message from Linda, who has been sending her messages with the same contents, namely apologies for getting her into trouble.
Anne then replied to Linda's message with a smile emoticon, then she returned to focus on finishing the food on the plate. After she was finished, she washed the dishes in the sink and put them back in the dish rack so that her kitchen wouldn't look messy. She never liked seeing her kitchen messy. Therefore, every time she used the kitchen, she always cleaned it afterwards, so that the kitchen was always clean. Now that her stomach was full, she began working on the assignments. Making five copies of paper was not an easy task, therefore she worked quickly and didn't want to waste time.
Accompanied by a song from the South Korean boyband, BTS, Anne started to compile her papers one by one. The sketches she made were beautifully attached to the four papers she had finished.
"Ok, Anne, keep your spirit up! One more paper and you can sleep," said Anne, quietly encouraging herself when she looked at the clock which showed three o'clock in the morning.
While holding back her sleepiness, she finished her last paper carefully. Afterwards, she immediately laid down on the carpet where she worked. Some of the failed print papers that she had previously made scattered around her. As she couldn't help feeling sleepy, she finally fell asleep on the carpet with her completed tasks when it was four o'clock in the morning.
Meanwhile, at a bar, Jack and Aaron were still enjoying their drinks served by the sexy women they hired to accompany them to drink.
"You're a really good drinker, Jack," Aaron praised with a big laugh.
"I'm just following your game, Aaron," Jack replied modestly, as he drank the glass of whiskey that the beautiful woman on his left had just poured.
"Ha ha ha, look who's talking! So let's go to our rooms. It's almost morning," Aaron said quietly, as he issued eight hundred dollar bills for the four sexy women in the VIP room.
"Thank you for the tip, sir."
"Wow, this is a lot, sir."
"Do come again, sir."
"Do we need to accompany you both to your rooms?"
"Yes sir, we can provide the best service for both of you in the room."
"Next time, ladies, thank you for your service tonight. We are very satisfied. Now if you'll excuse us. See you next time!" said Aaron. slowly smiling at the four sexy girls who had just taken the money that he had just put on the table.
"Okay, sir, we'll wait for your visits again," said the four sexy girls almost simultaneously.
Aaron and Jack just smiled at their words. Soon they both left the bar and headed for the rooms they had booked on the 18th floor.The bar they visited was in a five-star hotel in Central London, so they both didn't have to worry even if they got drunk, they could still go to the hotel. Using the elevator, Jack and Aaron finally arrived on the 18th floor. The two of them then headed to their respective rooms that were facing each other.
Arriving in the room, Aaron immediately laid down on the bed without taking off his clothes first. His drowsiness overcame his intention to change his clothes. But it was different with Jack, who actually stood outside on the balcony, enjoying his cigarette. He stared at the atmosphere of the city of London which was still very busy at four in the morning. His mind was still wandering to Anne, whom he had almost found today.
"I will find you Anne, I've decided to stay in London," said Jack quietly, as he put out the cigarette he had just smoked.
Trriiinggg
Jack's cell phone on the table rang because of an incoming message. Out of curiosity, Jack grabbed his cell phone to see who had sent him a message so early.
"Sorry to disturb you, sir, but this is very important. Miss Sophia has just flown to London after she messed up your residence in Geneva. It seems that Miss Sophia has just broken up with her football lover and she intends to come back to you. But since she couldn't find you, she finally made a fuss at your home, and then flew to London when she found out that you're in London. I hope when you read this message, Miss Sophia hasn't found you. My salute, Erick."
Jack's eyes that were initially sleepy immediately opened wide. As he read the message sent by Erick, his assistant in Switzerland, he was quite surprised by the news that his ex-girlfriend, Sophia, had apparently broken up with the soccer athlete he had been sponsoring.
"Apparently you now know who the real source of money is, Sophia," Jack said softly, staring at Sophia's photo that kept on his cell phone.
Jack and Sophia had been in a special relationship for almost two years. They even planned a wedding several years ago before Sophia met the Russian-Portuguese man named Esteban Shevchenko, who was a rising soccer athlete at that time. Sophia finally had an affair with Esteban behind Jack for almost eight months. Jack found out about their affair when he received a photo of Sophia and Esteban made love at a hotel in Russia sent by his men.
Since then Jack had become a cold and rude man. He always thought of women as greedy creatures who were always dazzled by money. Before he went to England, Jack spent his days partying hard with the beautiful girls at his residence to get rid of the pain over Sophia's affair. After four months of partying, Jack was bored with his new life. So, he finally decided to go to England for a vacation. Because he had a neat skill in concocting drinks, Jack finally tried to apply for work at a five-star hotel in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne as a bartender, because no one knew his identity. He only worked there for 3 weeks as he was being slandered. by a coworker, who took advantage of a drunk guest. Feeling that he had never done anything wrong, Jack finally chose to quit and planned to return to Switzerland. But on the way to his apartment, he met Anne.
"Okay Sophia, I'll show you the real game," Jack said quietly with a smile. An intention to retaliate crossed his mind.
