I’ll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 529 – The Appetite Of The Rich

Anne awakened with a very heavy head. It felt even so heavy that she refused to open her eyes. Without opening her eyes, Anne realized that at the moment Jack was no longer beside her. Therefore, she remained silent on the bed doing nothing. Anne tried to be patient, waiting for the stabbing feeling in her head to go away.

Anne could faintly hear Jack's voice speaking loudly downstairs. Wait! Anne immediately opened her eyes spontaneously.

"Jack never spoke so loudly, is he angry?" Anne muttered under her breath as she walked to the window to find out what had happened.

Anne leaned on the sofa looking at the side garden from the window that Jack had opened earlier. From the room, she could clearly see what Jack was doing at this moment.

"I told you, change the interior of Grandpa's room. I don't want a bed there, leave the room empty. Make another big window in the room so that every day the sun can enter and the air circulation is also good. How many more times do I have to say this huh?!!" Jack shouted loudly at all the servants who were bowing in front of him.

"Remember, I don't like being rebuked. When I come back from the office and the bed is still there, then don't blame me if your heads will fall off your neck later." Jack added another moment before he finally walked away from all his frightened maids.

Jack then got into a car that had been waiting for him since an hour ago, the car Nicholas was driving was ready to take Jack to the office with Erick and Linda. Today they had a big meeting with the managers of Muller Finance International and Mr. Kevin Cormier, so Erick and Linda went to the Clarke Enterprise office.

After Jack got into the car, Erick and Linda entered without speaking, and so was Nicholas. Not long after that, the black car with the big C logo on its body left the parking area of ​​the Clarke family mansion towards the highway. Two other black cars were seen to be following the car Nicholas was driving. There was one car in front who took the lead. A minute after the cars left, the big gate closed automatically again, so that random people would not be able to enter the area.

Anne immediately sat down on the sofa shortly after seeing Jack walked towards his car. "Looks like Jack is still in a very bad mood. I have to ask Luis what really happened."

With a little pain in her head, Anne walked towards the bathroom. She had to clean herself before leaving the room, especially now that it was nine o'clock in the morning. She didn't want to be regarded as a lazy woman by the maids, even though none of the workers in the house would dare to comment on her if she wanted to sleep all day in the room, now that she had officially become the hostess. After Mr. David Clarke died, the leadership of the house shifted to Jack, which automatically made her take on great responsibilities as his wife.

"It seems there's no way I can get a test pack in this house. The maids in this house are generally elderly women and don't have husbands. It would be very awkward if I asked them about a test pack. I'd better buy it myself at the pharmacy," said Anne softly as she daubed her pale lips with lipstick, shortly after taking a shower.

Using makeup successfully covered Anne's real face. After making sure her appearance was perfect, Anne then left her room with a small bag containing her purse and cell phone. When Anne descended the stairs, the maids who saw her immediately bowed, paying respects to the mistress, including Luis and Noah who were standing not far from the door of Mr. David Clarke's room which was being opened wide.

"Morning, Madam." Noah and Luis greeted Anne politely.

Anne smiled. "Come on, don't tease me, it's eleven o'clock in the afternoon. Oh yeah, what's this? Why are the things from Grandpa's room taken out?"

"We did this on Master's orders, Master asked us to vacate the late Master's room," replied Noah quickly.

Anne's eyes widened. "What? That's so fast! Why? Is something wrong?"

Louis took a deep breath. "Come with me, Madam, I will explain everything from the beginning."

"Okay."

Anne then followed Luis' steps to the back garden and he began to explain why Jack had his grandfather's room vacated. Actually, since last night Jack had ordered the servants to take out his grandfather's personal belongings but because Luis forbade it, finally none of the servants dared to touch the things. Finally, this morning Jack was angry when he saw the condition of the grandfather's room was still intact like the last time Jack saw it.

"Do you know why Jack asked for the room to be repurposed?" asked Anne quietly, after Luis had said all that had happened.

Louis shook his head. "I don't know, Madam. What's clear is that the room must be empty today."

Anne massaged her forehead which hurt again. She couldn't understand Jack's current mindset.

"Are you sick, Madam?" Luis asked worriedly.

"No, Luis, I just suddenly have a headache after hearing your explanation. Jack's way of thinking is really incomprehensible," replied Anne lying, because actually her head was hurting.

Jack smiled. "Sometimes the young master's character is similar to the big master's character, who might be explosive like this morning. This only reinforces the fact that they really are grandparent and grandson. Blood really can't deceive."

Anne chuckled. "There's a lot of Jack's weird qualities that you don't know, Luis. For sure, my husband is very stubborn. Hmm, oh yeah, is there a car I can drive, Luis?"

"Car?"

"Yes, I want to look for something at the cosmetic store. Some of my favorite lipsticks are out of stock. I have to buy them before they run out of stock. I don't want to tell Jack this, I don't want to be suddenly asked to go shopping abroad again like yesterday," replied Anne, quickly bringing up her departure for Paris when she wanted pizza a few days ago.

Luis smiled widely. He understood what the madam meant. "I'll take you, Madam."

"No, you don't have to. I don't like being accompanied when I'm shopping, let alone shopping for women's needs. It doesn't feel optimal if I am waited on, I want to be alone, Luis. Don't worry, I will definitely get home before Jack comes home from work."Anne immediately refused Luis' offer. She didn't want Luis to know that she actually wanted to go to the pharmacy.

"Okay, wait a minute I'll get the car keys and you want a Porsche, Lamborghini or Ferrari, Madam?"

Anne took a deep breath. "Isn't there a normal car that doesn't catch attention, Luis?"

Luis tilted his head. He looked confused by the meaning of Anne's question.

"Okay, Luis, find a car that is not flashy in color. That's all, forget what I said earlier," said Anne again.

"Okay, hold on a minute, Madam."

Anne really didn't understand the taste of cars owned by rich people. She had heard everything from her late grandfather a few months ago where at that time Jack, who still didn't remember who he was, bought 3 cars at fantastic prices simultaneously in one day because he liked the colors of the car. Not long after, Luis came back to Anne's place with a black box containing the keys of the cars that were still in the underground parking area, because she didn't know what kind of car to use, Anne finally decided to go down to the underground parking and chose his own car with Luis.

"Oh my God, these are all Jack's cars?" Anne shrieked in disbelief when she saw the expensive cars lined up neatly in front of her.

"Yes, Madam, everything belongs to him, and now it's yours too. Please choose which car you want to use," Luis answered quickly.

Anne looked at Luis with a confused look. "Jack, he's not in the mood to open a car showroom, is he?"
