Aaron drove his favorite car to Anne's apartment. He was determined to tell the truth about him. He wanted to start all over again with Anne with no cover up.

After driving for nearly thirty minutes, Aaron's Royce-Roll Drophead finally arrived at Anne's apartment.

​​

Aaron immediately parked his car right under Anne's room. Without getting out of the car, Aaron looked up to see Anne's dark room. Instantly, the smile on Aaron's face disappeared.

Even though he knew that Anne was afraid of the dark, when she was sleeping, all the lights in her room would be turned off, except for the nightlight on the second floor, where her bed was.

"It's only ten o'clock but why have you slept, Anne? Don't you usually sleep later than this?" Aaron said softly, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.

Knock

Knock

A knock on the window made Aaron wake up from his daydream. He immediately found out who knocked on his window.

"Annee!!!!" shouted Aaron happily when he saw that it was Anne who knocked on the windshield.

Without waiting any further, Aaron opened his seat belt and immediately opened his car door then scrambled to hug Anne tightly.

The snacks that she had just bought immediately scattered when Aaron hugged her.

"Aaron, let go of me, watch out, my snacks!" said Anne in a rising voice.

"I'm sorry, Anne, I'm sorry," Aaron said in a panic. After releasing the hug, Aaron then knelt down to tidy up the snacks that Anne bought.

Seeing Aaron tidying up her snacks made Anne smile. She then handed Aaron the shopping bag which Aaron immediately accepted.

Not long after, Aaron managed to put Anne's snack back into the special grocery bag. Anne hadn't used a plastic bag when shopping for a long time, so instead she brought her personal shopping bag.

"I thought you were asleep Anne, I almost decided to just go home," Aaron said quietly to open the conversation.

"I was already asleep, but I woke up again because I need to buy something important," said Anne quickly as she grabbed the grocery bag in Aaron's hand.

"Something important? What is it?" Asked Aaron curiously.

"Woman's secret." Anne answered quickly while looking away, embarrassed to tell Aaron the truth.

Aaron who was still curious did not give up, he then pulled Anne's hand tightly.

"Do you trust me Anne?" Aaron asked quietly as he stared sharply at Anne's eyes.

"Why are you suddenly asking like that?" Asked Anne again, she felt very intimidated by Aaron's different way of speaking.

"I wanted to tell you my big secret," Aaron replied quickly.

"What's the big secret? Then why do you have to tell me your secret? Isn't that your secret?" said Anne, confused.

Instead of releasing his grip on Anne's left arm, Aaron actually grabbed Anne's right arm even tighter, making Anne unable to move, because now Aaron held her hands and made her sit facing Aaron.

"Why does it have to be like this, Aaron? Can't we talk in a normal way?" Asked Anne quietly. She felt uncomfortable in this position.

"Listen to me, I'm going to say something serious and I won't repeat it Anne. So you have to focus on me," Aaron replied seriously.

"Yes, speak up, I'll listen," said Anne softly.

"I am the CEO of a very famous property development company in London, yesterday when we met at your campus, actually it was because I got an invitation from Professor Gilbert to be one of the speakers at the show.

Sorry, if I didn't tell you my true identity. I don't mean to hide it. It's just that I want to start everything with you, with you knowing that I am a CEO of a company.

I want you to accept me as I am regardless of my wealth or social status in society," said Aaron at length

Hearing Aaron's words made Anne speechless. She still didn't understand the meaning of Aaron's last words.

When Anne was still confused and didn't understand Aaron's words, suddenly Aaron landed a kiss on Anne's lips again, but this time it was not just a light kiss, but a real kiss. Aaron chewed Anne's lips and sucked slowly.

Anne, who was shocked and unprepared, couldn't escape. As she was about to take her head away from Aaron, suddenly Aaron grabbed her body and hugged her tightly with his left hand, while his right hand held Anne's back so that Anne couldn't go.

Anne who never kissed before looked exhausted. She had difficulty breathing when Aaron played his tongue in her mouth. Anne finally pushed Aaron with all her might when Aaron sucked her tongue, realizing that Anne was trying her best to break away from his kiss, Aaron finally broke his kiss from Anne.

"Anne…"

Slap!

Suddenly Anne slapped Aaron's face very hard, Anne's face was flushed like a boiled crab because she really had difficulty breathing when she was kissed by Aaron. Her eyes were red and they were full of water that was ready to fall.

"Anne, you…"

"I hate you, Aaron!!" shrieked Anne loudly as she ran leaving Aaron, the snacks and sanitary napkins she bought earlier left in the grocery bag under Aaron's feet.

Seeing Anne angry and running away, makes Aaron panic and intend to pursue Anne. He accidentally kicked the groceries he had tidied up earlier.

His eyes narrowed when he saw the box of sanitary napkins in Anne's grocery bag. Aaron quickly tidied up Anne's scattered belongings back into the pocket, after tidied up he ran after Anne into the apartment building.

When Aaron made it to the lobby, Anne had just entered an elevator that was full of people. Without thinking, Aaron immediately ran towards the emergency stairs not far from the elevator.

As he ran up the emergency stairs with all his might, Aaron hoped that he would be able to catch the elevator that had brought the one to the tenth floor.

Because Aaron was very good at taking care of his body he had no trouble at all when running on the stairs, after running with all his might Aaron finally reached the tenth floor.

When he stopped and took a breath, suddenly a lift sounded, which meant that lift had only arrived at the tenth floor, Aaron's guess was right. Due to the large number of people in the elevator, it finally took Anne longer to get to the tenth floor.

Aaron immediately walked into the hallway and saw Anne running to his room, when he saw Anne run to make Aaron also run.

"Anne ..."

Thump!

Anne's heart beat faster when heard the sound of Aaron. She was sure as hell had left Aaron on one floor, and could not believe Aaron could catch up to tenth floor via the fire escape. Out of curiosity, Anne turned around and she was very surprised to see Aaron already in front of her with her shopping bag.

"How can you ..."

"S-sorry, Anne, I'm sorry," said Aaron quickly interrupting Anne's stammering words.

His handsome face was now covered in sweat that had soaked almost his entire body.

Seeing Aaron like that made Anne forget about her anger, she felt sorry to see Aaron gasping like that in a shirt soaked with sweat.

"Are you running?" Asked Anne without realizing it.

"Emergency stairs, I'm chasing you through the fire escape stairs," Aaron replied softly as he stretched his hand toward the wall to provide support to keep him from falling.

"Stupid!!!" Anne hissed softly, Anne quickly walked towards where Aaron was standing.

Without speaking, Anne took Aaron's hand and invited him to enter her room, Anne immediately entered a combination number to open her room.

The 'click' sound on the door indicated that the combination she just entered has succeeded in opening the door, still not saying anything. Anne asks Aaron to come inside.

Aaron, who was exhausted, only resigned when Anne was pulled into the apartment. He then sat on the sofa to calm down, running to the tenth floor through the emergency stairs was not an easy thing.

Seeing Aaron struggling like that really made Anne feel bad, she then walked to the pantry and took a glass of water.

"Drink up, you'll be better off," said Anne quietly as she handed Aaron the glass of water.

"Thank you," Aaron replied softly, his hand shaking as he reached for the glass still in Anne's hand.

Because she couldn't bear to see Aaron like that, Anne finally helped Aaron to drink. She held Aaron's hand who was holding a glass while drinking. Guilt also came to Anne when she saw Aaron's condition.

"You're not a fool, right? Why do you have to run after me by running through the emergency stairs, Aaron?!" shouted Anne coldly with a rising voice.

"I don't want you to be mad at me, that's why I ran and caught up with you" Aaron answered honestly.

"Of course I'm mad at you, you kissed me without permission like that. Anyone would be angry, Aaron.

Just because you're a CEO, do you think you can do that? That's not how it is, Aaron. That's just you being too arrogant.

You said earlier you didn't want me to be friends with you because of your social status, but what you did just now, you have used your power to do whatever you want and …"

"I love you, Anne. I did that because I love you. I'm sorry I can't hold myself. I want you to be my lover, Anne, " said Aaron quietly, cutting off Anne's words.
