I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 190 - Jack And His Past

Alice, who used to wake up at seven in the morning, was suddenly surprised when Jack called and asked her to come to his house at six in the morning, when she usually still had sweet dreams. Without wearing any make-up and neat clothes, Alice went to Jack's house on a motorbike accompanied by her brother, who she had forced to wake up. Alice was forced to disturb her brother's sleep because she was only given thirty minutes to get to Jack's house. As a result, she couldn't help but rode a motorbike, because the only way to get to her boss' house so early this morning was by motorbike. The reason was that she didn't have her own car, because the only car owned by her family was used by her father to go to work.

When she was about to enter Jack's housing complex, the motorbike ridden by Alice's sister was stopped by the security guard at the front gate. They were initially forbidden to enter the luxury housing area, but after Alice showed her identity card as an employee of the Muller Finance International company owned by one of the residents in the luxury housing, finally the security guards who were on guard allowed Alice and her brother to enter.

"Your boss is very rich, Alice," said Alice's younger brother named Kevin softly when he arrived in front of Jack's house.

"Yeah, he's rich. Well then I'll go in, you be careful on the road. Go straight home, Kevin, don't go anywhere," Alice said quietly while giving Kevin a 10 pound note.

"I know, Alice, yes, I'm going home and thank you for the pocket money," Kevin replied happily with a big smile.

Alice just smiled at her brother's words. Not long after, she entered Jack's house after her brother's motorbike was no longer visible. She managed to arrive on time according to the time limit that Jack had given her.

"Finally, you arrived, Miss Alice, hurry up to the room, Mr. Jack and Miss Anne are already waiting for you," said a servant, slowly greeted Alice who had just arrived.

Without answering the maid's words, Alice hurried up the second floor to Jack's room. She knew that Jack had asked her to come this early to help Anne, who was unable to do her own activities.

"Finally you arrived, Alice. Hurry up, Anne has been in the bathroom for almost thirty minutes. I don't want her to get sick from the cold," shouted Jack loudly when he saw Alice come into his room

"Okay sir, I understand," answered Alice slowly nodding his head.

Knock

Knock

"Miss, it's me. Open the door," Alice said softly to Anne who was in the bathroom.

"Get me a change of clothes too, Alice," answered Anne in a faint voice.

"Okay, Miss," Alice quickly answered the order given by Anne. After saying that, Alice then grabbed Anne's suitcase which was beside the bed. She then took out a set of clean underwear and a change of clothes for Anne carefully. After Alice had grabbed the change of clothes for Anne, she knocked on the bathroom door again.

Anne, who was actually standing beside the door with one foot, opened the door for Alice. As soon as Alice entered, the bathroom door was locked from the inside again. After Alice entered the bathroom, Jack immediately laid down on the bed. For almost thirty minutes, he had been yelling to make sure Anne didn't take a bath. He didn't want the water to hit Anne's left leg, which was still sore. Because Doctor Pierre didn't leave an extra elastic bandage, he said that he would come back this morning at 8 am to check Anne's leg in person. And that was why Jack didn't want the bandage around Anne's leg to come off prematurely.

After twenty minutes had passed, Anne and Alice came out of the bathroom. Anne looked very fresh and beautiful. The ends of her short hair were still a little wet from the water, but that made her look even more beautiful.

"Just let me do it, Alice," said Jack suddenly, forbidding Alice to dry Anne's hair with the hair dryer she had just taken from the suitcase.

"No, let Alice do it," said Anne quickly.

"I can do it. I can dry hair, Anne. Don't underestimate me," answered Jack quickly, holding out his hand for Alice to hand him the hair dryer.

Alice, who was confused about whose order to follow, seemed to be stunned for a while, until finally Jack cleared his throat and made her return to her senses. Alice then reflexively handed the hair dryer to Jack, who was her boss.

"Okay, because your job is done this morning, now you go down to the first floor and have breakfast. I know you definitely haven't had breakfast when you were going to my house," said Jack quietly while playing with the hair dryer in his hand.

"Yes sir, I haven't," Alice answered honestly.

"Well, now you hurry down to the first floor and see the maid. Tell her that I ordered you to have breakfast first," said Jack quickly while plugging the hair dryer to the electric socket.

"Okay sir, then if you'll excuse me," said Alice quickly as she lowered her head slowly and walked out of Jack's room.

Anne, who had been silent all this time, looked unhappy when Alice left her alone with Jack in the room. She felt uncomfortable being alone with Jack in the room.

"Did you do that on purpose, Jack?" asked Anne quietly.

"On purpose?" Jack asked in confusion.

"Alice, you kicked her out on purpose, didn't you?" replied Anne curtly.

Jack, who began to touch Anne's hair, was silent when Anne mentioned Alice, who he had deliberately asked to leave the room, because he wanted to be alone with Anne. The smell of Anne's body after bathing really made him want to enjoy it himself. He didn't want Alice to smell the vanilla scent of Anne's body.

"Don't make random accusations, Anne. I just feel sorry for her. I'm sure Alice must be hungry, at least she should drink. I'm sure she didn't have a chance to have breakfast because she was in a hurry to come to here," Jack said quietly as he started to dry Anne's hair.

"What a smart excuse," said Anne curtly.

"I'm serious. Oh, right, I want to ask you. Why did you cut your beautiful long hair this short?" asked Jack coldly, looking at Anne through the large mirror in front of them at the moment.

"I'm tired of it. I want to try a new hairstyle. Besides, it's easier to take care of short hair than long hair," replied Anne, lying slightly.

"But why does it have to be this short, Anne? You can't tie your hair," asked Jack again, he preferred Anne's long hair because Anne looked prettier.

"It still can be tied at the top," Anne answered briefly while lifting some of her hair that was at the top to show that she could still tie her hair.

Jack was silent hearing Anne's reply. Because it was still morning and Anne's condition was not good, Jack finally did not continue his protest. He then chose to continue his work, drying Anne's hair.

"You are very good at using a hair dryer. Did you use to dry your girlfriend's hair, Jack?" asked Anne suddenly.

Thump!

Jack, who was looking down because he was still focused on drying her hair, immediately lifted his face and looked at Anne through the mirror. His smile was fading slowly.

"Don't talk about her who had already left me, Anne. I don't want to remember the woman who chose to leave me. To me, she was already dead the day she left," said Jack quietly.

Anne was silent at Jack's words. Her eyes were still staring at Jack without blinking in the mirror in front of her. Anne knew Jack really didn't like it when his past was brought up, but for some reason she felt like talking about Jack's ex-girlfriend today.

Unbeknownst to Anne, today was the six year anniversary of Jack's relationship with Sophia Higgins. That was why Jack didn't like Anne mention about Sophia today. Since Sophia left him, she had chosen to live with her boyfriend, Esteban Shevchenko, in Japan, the country that Esteban defended in the World Cup. However, since last year, the relationship between Sophia and Esteban had begun to drift apart as Esteban wanted to have children from Sophia, while Sophia didn't want to have children. Sophia felt that children would hinder her career as a pianist, who was currently ruling Asia, even though the biggest reason was not that. Sophia was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get pregnant again because of a big event that happened to her caused by Jack.

That was why yesterday Sophia had tried to meet Jack at his Swiss residence, but because Jack was already living in England, she couldn't find him. Sophia wanted to collect the promise that Jack had made years ago.
