"Linda! Oh my God!!" Anne screamed loudly, clutching her chest.

Seeing Anne's shocked expression making Linda laugh with satisfaction, she was delighted to see Anne's suffering. Because she already held the key to the shop, finally Linda opened the shop door which was still locked while squatting because Anne made double locks up and down.

​​

After Linda came in and turned on the light and the air conditioner finally Anne entered. She still looked annoyed at Linda who was already startling him.

"Where did you park, Linda?" Asked Anne, confused, because she did not see her car in front of the shop.

"I took it to the car repair shop in front of the main road, a nail hit one of your car tires this morning when I just got out of my apartment, Anne. Take it easy, I'll pay for it," said Linda quickly.

"It's okay. I'll pay, you better eat first. I've made some pancakes, you finish it. I've ate some earlier in the apartment," said Anne quickly.

"Ahh I love you Anne, if you were a man I would have wanted to marry you." Linda tightly hugged Anne from behind.

"If I were a man I would also be picky about the woman I want to marry, Linda, I don't want to marry you who can't cook," said Anne quickly, releasing Linda's hug to her.

"Anne, nowadays women don't need to be able to cook. The important thing is that they are independent. So that we are not underestimated by men," said Linda with a chuckle.

"That's what I said, Linda," said Anne quickly.

Linda just laughed wide seeing Anne was annoyed. Because she was hungry, finally she chose to eat the pancakes made by Anne calmly at the checkout counter.

Meanwhile, Anne went straight to work. She sorted flowers that were still worth selling and kept the flowers that were withered as usual.

Today would be a busy day for her, because the stock of roses was coming from Mrs. Mary and the truck carrying Anne's flowers was already on the way.

Aaron, who got a new project in Northampton, looked very busy. Since morning he had even had a meeting with the planning team to handle this big project.

Luckily this morning Daniel had forced Aaron to eat breakfast first, so that when they were still meeting like this, Daniel felt calm because his master had already eaten.

"If this project is running, then we will have to stay in Northampton for the next few months, sir," said Daniel quietly as he submitted a proposal to Aaron.

"Live in Northampton, why?" asked Aaron in surprise.

"We can't go back and forth every day from London to Northampton, that would be a waste of time, sir," Daniel replied quickly.

"It only takes two hours from Northampton to London, Daniel. Do you think that is too much time wasted?" asked Aaron softly, he suddenly thought of Anne.

"Now try to imagine for yourself that every morning we have to leave London to Northampton which takes two hours, when we get there we go straight to work and take care of other important things.

Then in the afternoon we have to return again from Northampton to London, oh no sir I'm not a robot and I have my limits.

I don't want to go on a very tiring trip like that, I prefer to stay in Northampton for a few days and then return to London," Daniel replied at length, trying to explain to Aaron.

"Besides, we will only stay in Northampton for five working days sir and maybe it will only last for the first one or two months while the apartment building project is underway.

After that we only need to monitor from London alone. I think Mr. Bob will have another assessment too if you stay in Northampton during the beginning of the project, and it is very great for your good name in the eyes of your business partners later, Sir. Trust me," added Daniel back.

Hearing Daniel's words made Aaron speechless. He seemed to digest Daniel's words word for word. Indeed, what Daniel said was true, if he remained in Northampton for the initial months of the project then he would be considered a responsible leader.

A leader who wanted to go directly to the field to monitor developments and that would be a plus for him in the eyes of his other business partners, but it was a little hard for Aaron to make that decision, because currently there was one big reason that made him wanted to stay in London.

Anne was the only reason for him to stay in London.

"My intention to let go of the cooperation with Mr. Yoseph Charter was to avoid Amanda and focus on Anne, but it turns out that after I got a new project with Mr. Bob, now I have to stay away from her. This is very hard, Daniel," Aaron said quietly.

"If you don't want to be away from Miss Anne, then just take her to Northampton. Isn't that the best solution, sir," Daniel said quickly.

"I even proposed yesterday, Daniel…"

"What, are you serious sir?!" shrieked Daniel in shock interrupting Aaron's words.

"Yes, I'm serious, but Anne didn't answer. She just thought my proposal was a joke," Aaron replied briefly with a smile.

"A joke, how can a woman get proposed to even think of it as a joke? I do not understand what you are saying," Daniel said softly, scratching his head which was not itchy.

Aaron then shared what he had done last night at Anne's apartment. Daniel, who was serious at first, suddenly burst out laughing.

"How do you propose to a woman like that sir? Of course Miss Anne thought you are just joking," Daniel said quietly, trying to hold back his laughter when Aaron had finished his story.

"What am I doing wrong?" Asked Aaron innocently.

"You are very wrong, sir. If you really want to propose to the girl you love, you should arrange everything perfectly, starting from the place, clothes, and even the rings must be carefully thought out sir.

Don't just say it like that, any woman will definitely consider it as a joke," Daniel replied with gusto. He never thought that his master was this stupid.

"Is it because I am this apathetic that Candice left, me Daniel?" asked Aaron without realizing the name of his ex-fiancé who decided it unilaterally.

Gulped.

Daniel swallowed his saliva slowly at Aaron's words, he was really speechless. Hearing the master mention the name of a beautiful Brazilian national model named Candice Skriver made him speechless.

The beautiful model chose to pursue her career in modeling rather than marry Aaron, who was still the deputy CEO of the Connery Corporation which was still led by the late Mr. Roger Connery who died. 2 years ago.

"Since Candice left me several years ago, I always thought that all women who approached me were only because of the money I had.

And since then I really didn't have the passion and desire anymore to have a serious relationship with a woman, let alone get married.

But after I met and know Anne everything felt different. With her, I just wanted to make a relationship that was much deeper than usual friendship, Daniel. I used to think that there is no such thing as falling in love at first sight, but I just believe that fell in love at first sight it turns out there and I feel it myself. Anne has stolen my heart from the first time I saw her in the car, when you were mad at her when we were at Newcastle-Upon-Tyne," said Aaron quietly.

"If you really believe in Miss Anne, then come and show that you are really very serious to her. I'm sure Miss Anne will certainly understand and understand how you really feel, sir," said Daniel excitedly.

"Okay, then tonight I'll come back to her apartment and tell her all the truth about my heart. Now you better find me the best diamond ring in town for me to bring tonight," said Aaron quickly as he took out a black credit card on the table to Daniel.

"Looking for a ring? How can I find a ring for Miss Anne if I do not know the size of Miss Anne's finger, sir," Daniel asked, confused.

"The size of a finger, hmmm what if you ..."

Bang!

Aaron's office door opened from the outside with a sudden and entered a beautiful girl who Aaron knew very well.

"Aaron ... sob sob."

"Elea," exclaimed Aaron in shock.
