Without another word, the SUV driver immediately got up and ran to his car, and soon he spurred the car away from that place. Seeing the SUV drive away like a thief who was afraid of being caught made Jack smile. He then walked over to Anne, who was still standing beside the door of her car where next to her the provoked bullies had learned a lesson from Erick. Erick's hand was marked on their faces, he couldn't help himself when he saw a girl was being ganged up on by ten men like that. Hence, without being ordered by his master, Erick immediately taught them a lesson.

Seeing Anne who was standing with a frightened face and wet eyes made Jack feel sick. He quickly grabbed Anne's nape and hugged her.

​​

"Silly girl," Jack whispered softly when Anne was in his arms.

"Hiksss ..."

"No, watch out, don't you dare wet my expensive suit with your tears, Anne," said Jack coldly, threatening Anne, who was about to start crying.

Hearing Jack's threat, made Anne cry even more. She did not hesitate to cry out in Jack's arms. The only friend she'd shared the past year and a half with her suffering. Jack smiled when he heard Anne cry. He then looked down and grabbed Anne's body and carried her to her car which was parked not far from Anne's car stopped. Right after Jack took Anne away, several police officers came to the location. Erick, who was used to this situation, was immediately alert. He bowed his head towards Jack, who had just gotten into the car.

After Jack and Anne got into the car, soon the driver was doing his job, he took the expensive car leaving Erick and the others dealt with the police. In the car, Anne, who felt uncomfortable when she realized that she was being carried by Jack, then shifted her seat. She tried to sit as far as possible from Jack. Jack, who realized what Anne was doing, only pursed his lips.

"I think that after a few months of not seeing you, you've stopped being whiny, but it turns out that you're still as whiny as ever," Jack said softly, breaking the silence in the car.

"W-who's whiny?" asked Anne in a rising voice.

"Who else but you, silly girl," Jack replied curtly, as he pulled his cell phone out of his jacket.

Seeing Jack take out his cell phone immediately reminded Anne of her bag and belongings in the car she had left behind.

"Jack, my cell phone is in the car. My bag and the other stuff are also in the car, how can I go home if I have all the keys in my bag?" said Anne frantically.

"Stop Anne, stop being panicky. You've never changed since a long time ago. Just take it easy, there are my people. Not a single thing is lost from your car seat, so you take it easy," Jack said coldly, as he glared at Anne.

Anne immediately closed her mouth when she heard Jack's words. She immediately lowered her head because she didn't dare to look at Jack's sharp eyes which always made her feel intimidated. Seeing that Anne immediately calmed down made Jack smile. He slowly contacted Erick and talked for a long time, because Erick apparently reported on the situation after Jack left. When talking to Erick, Jack unconsciously touched Anne's head and stroked her slowly. At first, Anne tried to avoid him, but because Jack kept getting close to her to touch her head, she finally let Jack caress her head like he was calming a child.

"Well, if you're calm like this, I can think clearly, Anne," Jack said quietly as he put his cell phone back into his coat.

"You mean man, you haven't changed either," said Anne quickly as she let go of Jack's hand which was still touching her head.

Jack just laughed at Anne's curses. He let her tidy her messy hair. Jack's smile stopped when he saw that Anne's face still had tears that hadn't yet dried. He slowly directed his hand and wiped the tears on Anne's face slowly.

"What are you ..."

"You're so ugly when you cry, Anne. Do you know that?" Jack asked quickly, interrupting Anne's words while showing his finger that managed to wipe the tears on Anne's face.

Bam

Bam

"You are so annoying, I hate you!!!" screamed Anne annoyed as she gave several punches to Jack's body. Instead of dodging her punches, Jack actually put the body up. He let Anne be satisfied with hitting his body. Since Jack just kept quiet and didn't avoid her punches, Anne stopped. She then sat by the window and lowered the window to let the wind blow to her face, which was puffy from crying. Being crowded by men who threatened her had made her quite shocked.

The driver, who already knows Jack's want, immediately increased the speed of his car to the beach, because Jack just sent a voice message to him which was directly connected to the ear piece attached to his ear.

Anne, who closed her eyes while leaning on her seat, didn't realize that the car that was taking her was now leaving the city to the beach. Because the wind that was blowing soft enough against her face, she finally fell asleep in the car. Jack, who realized that Anne was sleeping, only smiled, he then raised his car window slightly so that the wind wouldn't be too strong to hit Anne's face.

Because the trip to the beach was still far enough, Jack chose to check the readiness of his new office., because Erick and the others had come to London on his private jet to arrive on time. That was why he was with Erick and the others. They were driving from the airport to the Park Place Villas housing complex where Jack just bought. The house was much cheaper than Aaron's house, which was the most expensive housing in London after Kensington where the British royal family lives. However, when he was about to go to his prospective new home, he saw Anne being surrounded by men in the middle of the road. Even though the distance was far away, Jack could recognize her.

After a long journey they finally arrived at the beach. When they got to the beach, Jack ordered the driver to get out of the car. He wanted to be alone with Anne, who was still asleep.

"You're like a pig, Anne. You sleep very soundly," Jack said softly, poking Anne's cheek repeatedly.

"Hhhhmmppp ..."

"Wake up, Miss, you've reached your destination. Do you want to continue sleeping in my car?" Jack asked coldly, when Anne had just opened her eyes.

"Really, thanks for telling me. Bye Jack ... awwww ...."

To be continued.
