Chapter 91 - The Reason

Anne, who was almost angry at first, immediately calmed down when she heard the voice she knew so well.

"Get out Jack, where are you!!" Said Anne curtly.

"Hahahahaha how do you know that it was me, Anne?" Jack asked, laughing and came out of his hiding place behind five large men who stood covering him, who were sitting.

"I know you not only for a day or two Jack, I\'ve memorized this ugly voice," replied Anne curtly, folding her arms across her chest.

"Alright, let\'s go into the shop, today I come as a customer, not a bully." Jack said quietly, asking Anne to enter the shop.

"How can I get into a shop if you guys block the entrance like that?" Asked Anne coldly.

Instantly Jack tapped the shoulders of some of his men to get away from in front of them so that Anne could enter the shop. After Jack\'s bodyguards stepped aside, Anne opened her shop quickly.

"Before you get in, please order one of your bodyguards to call Linda in the car, she was scared after seeing your guards standing earlier." said Anne quietly as she glanced at her car which was parked not far in front of the shop.

"I understand." Jack replied quickly.

After saying that, Anne then went into the shop and turned on the lights. Meanwhile Jack ordered one of his men to come to Linda in the car to be invited into the shop. At first, Linda was very afraid of the man who suddenly knocked on the door of the car, but after being given an explanation, Linda finally understood. She then got out of the car and walked quickly to the shop leaving the man who had just called her. Linda even went straight into the shop without greeting Jack, who was standing at the door.

"Who are they, Anne?" Linda asked in a whisper.

"Jack and his friends," answered Anne shortly.

"Who\'s Jack?" Linda asked back.

"That guy who was standing at the door. Jack is an old friend," replied Anne again.

"Oh I see, then what do they want here, Anne?" Linda investigated curiously.

Because Linda spoke loudly enough, Jack and her men could hear what she said to Anne. Jack slowly walked over to Linda and Anne who were at the cash register.

"Are you Anne\'s college friend?" Asked Jack suddenly, as he was standing at the cashier counter.

"Y-yes, I\'m Anne\'s college friend. We sit side by side in class," Linda replied stammering. She was shocked when she saw Jack suddenly standing beside her.

"Good, that means you can be relied on," said Jack briefly.

"What do you mean reliable?" Asked Linda curiously.

"It\'s nothing, Miss. Please quickly get my previous order, Anne," Jack asked quickly, staring at the white roses in one of the large vases.

"Order? What did you order?" Asked Anne, confused.

Instead of answering Anne\'s question, Jack actually took out his cell phone and played his fingers on his cell phone screen. A few seconds later, Anne\'s cell phone in the bag rang loud enough that she had to pick up the cell phone. Instantly her eyes narrowed when she saw that an anonymous number was calling her. Out of curiosity, Anne accepted the incoming call and brought her cell phone to her ear.

"Hello ..."

"Yes hello Anne, should we talk using cell phones like this when we are in the same room?" Jack replied quickly to ask Anne without pause.

Thump!

Anne immediately turned to Jack when she heard Jack\'s voice on her cell phone.

"Is this you Jack?" Asked Anne stupidly.

"Yes, it\'s me." Jack replied quickly on his cell phone back.

When Jack spoke like that, Anne could automatically hear Jack\'s voice on her cell phone, which was still on her ear.

"How did you get my cell phone number, Jack?" Asked Anne, confused.

"Don\'t ask me how, the important thing is that right now you have to serve your customers. Look at the incoming messages on your cell phone, see what message your new customer sent." Jack replied, changing the conversation.

Without speaking, Anne then hung up the incoming call from Jack and saw the incoming message. Immediately her eyes were perfectly rounded when she read the message from Jack.

"Are you kidding me?!!" screamed Anne, startled.

"Of course not, hurry up. I came here for my order, Anne, I\'ll give you twenty minutes to prepare them," said Jack softly without guilt.

"Twenty minutes? No way!!! Your order is too many, Jack," said Anne loudly.

"So you should start working, the longer you start, the longer they will finish." Jack replied casually, as he walked to the refrigerator which had a lot of cold drinks in it. Without hesitation, Jack opened the refrigerator and reached for a bottle of cold mineral water then drank it.

Anne, who was still shocked because she didn\'t expect that Jack could have her cell phone number, was still standing doing nothing. She stared at Jack without blinking. She still didn\'t understand how Jack knew her cell phone number, because so far she hadn\'t felt like giving her cell phone number to another man after Aaron.

"If you keep on standing like that, then my order won\'t be ready in an hour, Anne," Jack said quietly, glaring at Anne, who was staring at him without blinking.

"Agghh yes ... wait, I\'ll prepare them," Anne shouted and startled when she woke up from her reverie.

After saying that, Anne prepared Jack\'s order. Linda, who didn\'t know how to arrange flowers, could only remain silent and just stood by the cashier table, watching Anne running around choosing the best flowers to arrange according to Jack\'s request. Jack had ordered ten bouquets of roses containing fifty roses each. He only wanted the best red roses for his bouquets. That made Anne work extra hard in choosing the roses in her shop, because roses were the best-selling flowers and Anne\'s stock was running low. That was why she had to mix it with other roses in order for the flower bouquets look beautiful.

"I\'ll mix them with white roses, okay? My stock of red roses runs out, Jack." said Anne quietly.

"Okay, but remember Anne I still want the red roses to dominate," replied Jack briefly.

"I know, you take it easy," Anne replied quickly. She then returned to focus on her flower bouquet again.

From his seat, Jack smiled as he watched Anne work. Seeing her so focused like that made him feel calm. Not long after, the ten bouquets containing ten red roses were finished. Anne looked very tired working alone. Actually Linda had offered to help her, but she refused. She knew that Linda couldn\'t arrange flowers yet, so she forbade Linda to touch the flowers she was arranging. She didn\'t want her work to be damaged by Linda and she doesn\'t want to work twice, especially when Jack only gave her such a short time.

Clap

Clap

Jack applauded when he saw the ten bouquets of roses arranged by Anne neatly in front of his eyes. He was amazed at Anne, who was able to finish the bouquets quickly without anyone\'s help.

"You are amazing, Anne," Jack said quietly, praising her.

"Of course I\'m great. If not, how could you come to my shop and make troubles like this, Jack?" replied Anne curtly, as she wiped the sweat that covered her face.

"Hahahaha, don\'t be too fierce, Miss, I really need these flowers. You know, today my office starts operating in London. That\'s why I ordered flowers from you. I want my new office to be fresh and smell good with these roses. Why did I order from you? It\'s a cliché, Anne, help your friend\'s business before you help someone else\'s business. For that reason, I came to you. Aren\'t I helping your business like this, Anne?" replied Jack at length trying to explain to Anne the reason for his order.

Anne could only stay silent when she heard Jack\'s words, because what Jack said was actually the words she had previously spoken to Jack one year ago when they were still at Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. Back then, Anne had chosen to buy paper cups for her coffees from one of her apartment friends who produced cups for coffee. Jack had asked Anne to buy somewhere else with the same quality at a lower price. But Anne said she preferred to buy things from her close friends, because with that she can help her friend run their business, and now, Jack gave her the same reason to herself. That was why Anne didn\'t reply to his words.

"Don\'t you agree with what I\'m saying, Anne?" Jack asked again to break Anne\'s reverie.

"Y-yes, you\'re right, of course you\'re right," answered Anne stuttered.

Jack chuckled when he saw Anne became so awkward like that. Soon Jack ordered his bodyguards to bring the bouquets into the car. When all the flower bouquets had been moved to Jack\'s car, he took out his wallet from his coat pocket and took out ten hundred dollar bills which he placed on the counter where Linda was sitting.

"Sir, but this is too much," said Linda, surprised, even though she was new at the shop, but Linda already knew the prices of the flowers Anne was selling, including the rose bouquets that Anne had previously arranged.

"It\'s okay, Miss, just think of it as extra money because of this special service I received. I\'m being served directly by the owner," Jack replied back, glancing at Anne.

Hearing Jack\'s words immediately made Anne\'s face red. She felt hot even though the AC in the shop was very cold. Jack, who noticed the change in Anne\'s face, only smiled faintly, and soon he said goodbye as he had to return to his new office.

"Ah, why is the air conditioner in this shop not working? Why is it so hot in the shop?" said Anne loudly, fanning her face with her hands.

"What\'s hot? it\'s cold, Anne. You\'re weird," Linda said in confusion.
