I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 357 - Platonic Love

"Are you sure, Nick?" Alan again asked Nicholas in a rising voice.

Nicholas, who was sitting in the driver's seat, nodded his head slowly in response to his master's words. Alan, who was already very excited about going to the hotel where Anne was staying, was surprised by the information that had just been conveyed by Nicholas, who informed him that the students of the University of the Arts London would stay at another hotel after the incident this afternoon. And now they were already on their way to the new hotel where they would stay.

"Well, let's go and follow them," said Alan again.

Nicholas looked back at his young master's face. "It's not that easy, sir, if we were to come I'm afraid they'll be scared again and it's very likely that they will move to another hotel again or even return to London."

"What? Why is it like that? What does this have to do with our arrival to their new hotel?" asked Alan confused

"Obviously it has something to do, sir. At the moment, they must still be afraid of what happened this afternoon and if we came, they would think that something is wrong. And that would be very risky, they must still be very wary of strangers, sir," Nicholas answered quickly.

Alan was silent. He digested Nicholas' words quietly. Soon a smile appeared on his face.

"You're right, Nick, they will definitely be more vigilant. That is only if we come suddenly, but it will be a different story if we reached the hotel first," said Alan with sparkling eyes.

"What do you mean, sir?"

Bam!

Alan hit the chair where Nicholas was sitting. "Let's just go to the hotel, I will explain everything after we arrive at the place. Remember we have to arrive at the hotel before the students."

"Yes sir." Nicholas briefly answered the master's words. He then stepped on the gas pedal and increased the speed of the car to the hotel which Anne and her classmates had already gone to. They immediately moved to the new hotel without waiting until morning because they were in fear. After Professor Gilbert said that they got a new hotel, the students immediately prepared to go to the new hotel using the shuttle bus belonging to the new hotel where they would be staying.

The journey to the second hotel, where the UAL students would be staying, seemed very slow for Alan, even though Nicholas was already driving the car at high speed. Until finally when he arrived at his destination, Alan immediately got out of the car without waiting for Nicholas. The three-star hotel was immediately shocked when it was visited by Alan Knight Clarke. The hotel manager, who initially wanted to welcome the UAL students who almost arrived, chose to serve Alan Knight and referred his duties to other hotel staff.

"It's an extraordinary luck that our hotel was visited by you, Mr. Clarke, I felt like I was dreaming," said the hotel manager repeatedly.

"Don't be like that, I'm just a nobody. After all, this hotel is very interesting, I've been wanting to come for a long time and this is the first time I've had the opportunity. Hmm. Oh right, what are the most popular facilities in this hotel?" Alan asked pleasantly to buy time. The reason was that, at this time, the shuttle bus that brought the students had arrived at the hotel lobby.

Alan deliberately lingered with the hotel manager because he wanted to see Anne. The manager enthusiastically explained some of the mainstay facilities in his hotel. Meanwhile, Alan, who had shifted his focus to Anne, did not listen to a single word from the manager. Alan's smile widened when he saw Anne get off the bus, although her face was pale but her beauty did not fade in the slightest. Even with such disheveled hair, she actually looked dazzling in Alan's eyes. It was a strange feeling that Alan had never felt before, even though so far, many beautiful and sexy women had approached him. But he never felt like this. It was a vague feeling that made him very happy even though he only saw Anne from afar and without making any physical contact.

"So that's it, sir, so when are you planning to hold your event at the hotel?" asked the hotel manager when he had finished explaining all the facilities at his hotel.

"T-tomorrow morning, I will have breakfast here at this hotel. So prepare your best meal," Alan stuttered.

"Okay sir, I will prepare everything tomorrow morning," said the hotel manager excitedly.

Since Anne had already climbed the stairs to her room, Alan decided to leave the hotel. He didn't want to disturb Anne's resting time. Bringing his favorite coffee, Alan went home with Nicholas. Along the way, he smiled as he remembered how happy Anne was as she got off the shuttle bus. Nicholas, who had been concentrating on driving the car, did not dare to disturb his master's pleasure.

"Tomorrow morning we will have breakfast at the hotel, Nick," said Alan suddenly breaking the silence in the car.

"What?"

Alan pursed his lips and looked in the mirror, where Nicholas was also looking at him in confusion. "Yes, I want us to have breakfast at the hotel. I've asked the hotel manager to prepare everything and please tell some managers to come to the hotel too. After breakfast, we will have a short meeting."

Nicholas swallowed hard. Although when Alan spoke, he didn't use a high tone but there was an imperative in that sentence. Nicholas quickly agreed to the master's order, he didn't want to get in trouble for denying the words of his master, who was very curious about Anne. Nicholas then increased the speed of the car to return to Clarke's residence, because after this he still had to contact about ten managers to come to the hotel they had just left, to have breakfast with his master the next day.

< London, England >

Ever since Jack was declared dead, Aaron had become a more reserved man. He had not expected that Jack would passed away so young. Although Aaron hated Jack for winning Anne's heart, Aaron was still sad when he learned that Jack died in an accident in the English Channel.

During these two years, Aaron had been keeping himself busy with his company, his big project with Mr. Bob at Northampton was a success. He made a double profit from the sale of the apartment building, as did Mr. Bob. Aaron and Connery Corporation were increasingly shining in England. He had also won several awards for the design of the apartment building in Northampton.

"Boss, you got another message from Candice Skyriver," Daniel said quietly while Aaron was still busy with his monitor

"Candice? Oh, does she want to inform that she has successfully signed a contract with a Paris underwear brand?" asked Aaron quietly without turning his head from the laptop screen.

Daniel picked up his cell phone and showed Aaron a message from Candice. "I think studying boss."

Aaron smiled faintly. "Ignore it, apparently after two years she never gives up."

"Then how about you and Miss Anne?" Daniel asked Aaron directly without fear.

Hearing Daniel mention his feelings for Anne, the smile on Aaron's face disappeared instantly. He couldn't lie that he still loved Anne very much until now. The more he tried to forget Anne, the stronger Anne's smile was etched in his memory.

"I seem to be caught up in a platonic love, Daniel."
