I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 209 - Jack's Invitation

While on the way back to Anne's apartment, there was no conversation at all. She was still silent thinking about what Jack had said earlier in the restaurant. Because the road became a bit slippery due to snow, Jack had to be more careful in driving, and because of that the drive took a little longer than usual.

"Tomorrow I will start working in Leon's office," said Anne quietly, breaking the silence as Jack's car almost reached her apartment.

Thump!

Jack immediately stepped on the brake pedal of his car when he heard Anne's question.

"W-what did you say, Anne?!" Jack asked coldly full of emotion. His eyes were fixed on Anne intently without blinking.

Being stared at by Jack like that made Anne feel very intimidated. She felt very uncomfortable right now. But because she didn't want to cause any problems, Anne explained from the start to Jack how she got to work in Leon's office.

"Why didn't you say this from the start? Why didn't you tell me that the lion was doing this on purpose to get close to you again, Anne?" Jack asked emotionally.

"I don't know, Jack, but my feeling is right. It turns out that he deliberately gave the gift of a three-day vacation to Ireland not without reason. He wanted to make my college owe him, so he could do this. So even though I didn't go to Ireland for the vacation, he still can force me to work in his office because I'm part of the UAL campus," said Anne quietly, trying to explain to Jack.

"That bastard lion!!! How dare he cheat like this! You calm down, Anne, I can destroy his new office in London in no time and..."

"No, Jack, I don't want you to do that. I want you not to do that. Let me finish everything. This is my part where you don't have to interfere." Anne gently cut off Jack's words.

"Why? Do you doubt me? I could easily destroy this new office and kick him out of England, Anne, I don't want you to get into any more trouble from him," said Jack with emotion. Discussing Leon made his emotions rise.

Anne smiled at Jack's words. He was the one who knew best about her past with Leon and Steffi. That was why right now Jack was very angry at Leon who tried to approach Anne again.

"That's not what I mean, Jack. I believe you can do that easily. But you told me once to deal with it and now I'm doing it, Jack. I want to do that, Jack. I want to make Leon realize that I'm not the Marianne I used to be, the one whom he can humiliate as he pleases. I want him to realize that not everyone can be treated the way he wants, just because he has everything. I'm not doing this for revenge. Isn't the way to know an enemy's weakness is to make him a friend like you often told me back then, Jack? Don't you remember saying that to me?" asked Anne quietly, trying to calm Jack down.

"Yes, I did tell you that before, but this is a different situation, Anne. When you work with him, it means you will be closer to him and I can't monitor you. I can't protect you from that hungry bastard lion," said Jack in a rising voice, filled with anger.

"Hungry lion?"

"Yes, a hungry lion! Leon is the type of man who only judges someone from their physical appearance. When you were still his wife, he easily dumped you for Steffi, who was much prettier and sexier than you used to be, because you didn't take care of yourself and show your beauty. Then now when he finds out that you are this beautiful, he guiltlessly tries to approach you again. He thought that with the money he has, he can get you again easily, even though Steffi is already his wife. Fuck that shameless bastard!" Jack cursed angrily at Leon. He really, really hated Leon right now. Especially after he found out that Leon deliberately made the UAL campus owed him, so that the campus could do what he asked, including forcing Anne to do an internship in his office.

Anne pursed her lips at Jack's words. "Why are you so angry with him, Jack?" asked Anne softly.

"Of course I'm angry, you are mine. My future wife, I don't want you to be close to that greedy bastard lion. I don't want your face or body to be seen by him even if only briefly," replied Jack. His breath panted indicating that he was really angry right now.

Anne immediately locked her lips when Jack said that. All this time living alone and never having any relationship with men except with Leon made Anne very uneasy when Jack said such words. She felt very protected by Jack right now.

Jack took Anne's hand and held it tightly. "Refuse it, Anne, I can take care of the rest. I'll make your campus regret helping that lion bastard take advantage of you. They'll regret bothering the future wife of Jackson Patrick Muller," Jack said seriously. His fiery eyes which were glowing with rage now dimmed as he looked at Anne.

"Don't do that, Jack. If you're disturbing my campus, then what's the difference between you and Leon, who uses his power to suppress a school, where nothing like this should happened. You don't have to worry about Leon. I've thought about it thoroughly, I can't be tempted by a playboy asshole like Leon, I can take good care of myself," replied Anne softly with a big smile, so that her dimples showed and made her twice as beautiful as usual.

Seeing Anne's smile like that made Jack nervous. He could really calm himself when he saw Anne smiling like that. One thing that made Jack weak the most was seeing Anne smile. Jack quickly let go of his hand and looked away from Anne. He didn't want to lose control and kiss Anne again like before. He had promised Anne not to kiss him in public.

"Actually it's not you that I'm worried about, but it's that damn lion I'm worried about. I know you can take care of yourself, but that jerk can't necessarily do it. Moreover, now that you're this beautiful, I can't bear just imagining you work with him, Anne," said Jack quietly, while gripping the steering wheel of his car with emotions.

"Believe me, I can handle this. Leon is a man who can't see beautiful women in front of his eyes. So maybe I'll use that to make him a little... well, at least I have to teach him a lesson, right? So he can respect women more and not only judging them from the outside," replied Anne again with a smile and looking down at the road. She didn't notice the change in Jack's face.

"I'll let you work in that bastard lion's office after we get married, so since tomorrow morning you start working in his office, tonight we're getting married," said Jack quickly as he took Anne's hand again and gripped it tightly asking her to marry him tonight.
