I'll Teach You, Marianne.-Chapter 589 - Visiting An Old Friend

Jack was sitting on the sofa alone with the lights turned off. Only Erick was still faithful to accompanying him, when everyone was asleep, including Nicholas who had finally come down from the second floor with Luis, who had previously followed Anne and Nicholas. Jack was still thinking about the words that Anne had said to him two hours ago. He still couldn't believe that Anne was suspicious of him for hiring Giselle, his schoolmate.

"If you're sleepy, go to sleep, Erick," said Jack quietly, breaking the silence in the living room.

Eric shook his head quickly. "No sir, I'm not sleepy yet."

Jack smiled. "Don't lie to yourself. Go to sleep, I'll be up in a bit too."

"Are you serious, sir?"

"When do I ever not serious? Go to sleep. I know you've been yawning for a while now."

"Sorry, sir."

"Go now and rest."

Eric nodded his head quickly. "Okay sir, then if you'll excuse me."

Jack shook his head at Erick, who was still very polite to him. Even though Erick had been with him for more than 15 years, his demeanor did not change. He was still very respectful and very obedient to Jack. After Erick left, Jack returned to silence and looked at the main door of his house which was closed tightly. Occasionally, he took a deep breath when he remembered what Anne had said a few hours ago, especially with the warning that Luis gave him, before he followed Anne to the 2nd floor.

Jack really didn't have the slightest feeling for Giselle. His relationship with Giselle was purely a working relationship and nothing more. Jack was really very confused right now. As a boss, he couldn't immediately fire Giselle without any reason, especially considering the results of Giselle's work that never let him down. It was also for this reason that Jack recruited Giselle directly. She was truly very competent at her job. However, because of Anne's words before, Jack was in a dilemma. He began to think about what he had been through for the past two years when he was close to Giselle again.

Because he was too tired, Jack finally fell asleep on the sofa in a sitting position. In his sleep, he mentioned Anne's name several times, just like before when he was separated from Anne for three years.

< Cointrin International Airport, Geneva, 3 AM. >

A Gulfstream G650 jet landed smoothly at Geneva's Cointrin airport. Aaron Sean Connery's plane had just flown from Portugal. Aaron had just attended his father-in-law's wedding anniversary in that country, but because Jack contacted him for a multimillion dollar partnership, Aaron ended up going alone to Switzerland to meet with Jack, and tomorrow morning, Daniel and his private secretary would fly in to Switzerland to join him.

"There's still a few more hours to rest before the meeting," Aaron said to himself as he looked at the clock on his right hand.

A well-built man approached Jack. "Can we go to the hotel, sir?" 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

"Yes, I want to go to the hotel immediately. There are still a few more hours to rest, I also need to inform my wife that I've arrived in Switzerland so that she doesn't worry," Aaron answered softly with a smile.

The well-built man smiled. He then invited Aaron to walk towards a car that was ready to take him to the hotel that had been booked earlier. When he was in the car, Aaron immediately took out his smart phone and started sending messages to Rose. Actually, Rose wanted to come with Aaron to Switzerland to meet Anne. However, because last night the party was still very lively, Aaron finally forbade his wife to come. Aaron didn't want to make his in-laws angry at him for taking Rose back when they had just arrived in Portugal this morning.

Even though Rose was no longer working as a journalist, her busy life as Mrs. Connery required her to stay in London all the time, to accompany Aaron on various important events. Being the wife of a rising businessman put everything that Rose did in the spotlight on the camera, especially with her background as the daughter of a high-ranking person in Portugal. That was why when she returned to Portugal, her parents were very happy and hoped that Rose would spend a lot of time with them and Aaron was very aware of that.

Lily-Rose Joseph really made Aaron the happiest man. Even though they weren't blessed with any children yet, his life with Rose was very harmonious. Rose gave the family presence that Aaron had longed for, although he still got some distractions from Kimberly Henderson, who was still trying to get close to Aaron, but Rose managed to get through it all. Rose was not angry with Aaron's past life, including what Aaron did when he was a teenager. For Rose, Aaron's past was not important. The person she married was the Aaron who was in the present, not the Aaron in the past, so she was patient when she saw so many women trying to annoy her husband. Living alone in a foreign country as a journalist had made Rose mentally strong and was not a crybaby in facing the storms that hit her marriage with Aaron.

After sending a message to his wife, Aaron then reread the email that was just being sent by Jack. Even though the two were rivals when they fought over Anne's heart, they were still great business partners. It was evident that several times Jack had given Connery Corporation a project that resulted in the company making hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits, which was why Aaron didn't think twice when Jack contacted him. Even though he was in a fairly important family event, Aaron immediately came to Switzerland to meet the man who was currently on the list of the number one most successful entrepreneurs in Europe and Asia. He believed that every project that Jack offered him would give great benefits to his company. And what Aaron was doing right now was fully supported by Rose, so it wasn't so hard for him to leave Portugal last night.

Rose knew what Aaron was doing right now was for her as well, so she didn't want to stop her husband from doing the work he loved, as long as it was in a reasonable level and didn't take too much of his energy. The convoy of cars carrying Aaron finally arrived at a well-known hotel in Geneva. Aaron deliberately looked for the closest hotel to the Muller Finance International office so that he would not be late for the meeting the next morning.

"Have a good rest, Mr. Connery. Hope you are comfortable in this hotel," said a hotel staff who had just escorted Aaron to his room.

Aaron smiled. He then handed a tip to the staff who had just dropped him off. "Thank you."

The hotel staff actually refused to accept Aaron's tip, but because Aaron forced him, the middle-aged man couldn't refuse.

Without taking off his clothes Aaron threw himself onto the super large and soft bed. "I wish you were here with me, Rose."
