Chapter 28 - Up For The Game

Hearing Daniel's words made Aaron speechless, this time, the brandy glass in his hand didn't hit the floor like several other glasses that had been scattered under his feet.

"Get out, I don't want to see you!!" Aaron tried to cast out Daniel who had just entered his room. ??

"What exactly you want to do if I get out of this room, tho? Do you plan to destroy your office again?" asked Daniel fearlessly as he sat on the sofa in Aaron's room.

"I was wrong to have recruited you to be my personal assistant in the first place, I'd better find a personal assistant that I don't know personally so he can respect me. Unlike you who are so disrespectful," Aaron replied curtly.

Daniel burst out laughing at Aaron's words, he knew that Aaron wasn't really mad at him. He had heard harsh words from Aaron like this way too often before this. He didn't bother with it because Daniel knew that Aaron said this just because he was overwhelmed with anger.

"What's the girl's name?" asked Daniel with a smile.

"Anne," Aaron replied subconsciously.

"What have you done that she decided to get away from you?" asked Daniel again.

"I didn't do anything, suddenly she just disappeared on the second day I went to the shop where she usually worked," Aaron replied softly in a hoarse voice, he still didn't realize that he had told Daniel about Anne.

"What!!!! When did Aaron Sean Connery's taste in women change to a shop assistant? Are you kidding me? Wake up, Aaron!!! There are way too many beautiful models, artists, businesswomen, socialites that you can date, Aaron. How could you just so easily fall for a lowly shop waiter like her? Oh my God, this is unbelievable," said Daniel in a rising voice, he could not believe that his best friend was feeling so emotional and moody today because of a shop assistant who he thought was not on the level of other women who had spent some time with Aaron.

Aaron's consciousness finally returned when he heard Daniel's rising voice. He stayed silent for a moment while digesting what he had actually said before to his personal assistant.

"In what way you find the waiter at that shop attractive, Aaron? Is she as pretty as Audrey Hepburn or as pretty as a Miss Universe winner that she can make you go crazy like this?" asked Daniel again.

Aaron's heart beat very fast after hearing Daniel's words, he had now finally realized that he had already discussed Anne to Daniel by accident.

"What are you talking about, Daniel?" Aaron asked pretending nothing had happened.

"Okay, what are you doing now? Are you drunk?" asked Daniel confusedly.

"Who's drunk? I forgot to ask something, have you finished the task I gave you this morning? Please send it to me once you've finished it. I want to check it," replied Aaron, changing the conversation.

Daniel's face immediately turned pale when he heard Aaron's words, because he hadn't touched his best friend's assignment at all since this morning due to the large amount of data he had to summarize. Aaron had given Daniel the task to recap the company's profit during the last six months in western European countries where Aaron had expanded his company. Actually, Daniel was able to do the task as quickly as possible because the assignment Aaron had given to him was a task he used to do in the previous months. This time, Daniel had no enthusiasm to do it, the file was just lying on his desk not far from Aaron's room.

"If you haven't finished it until this afternoon then you better go home at night to finish the task and hand it over to my desk by tomorrow at seven in the morning," scolded Aaron in a rising voice threatening Daniel.

Without answering Aaron's words, Daniel immediately turned right and left in his superior's room in and he quickly returned to his desk. He knew that Aaron never messed around when it came to working, that was why Daniel chose to speedily return to his desk again to do the task Aaron ordered him this morning. Seeing Daniel left immediately made Aaron smile, he knew that his assistant was getting afraid after he showed his annoyance toward Daniel's late assignment. That was one of the benefits of being friends with Daniel for more than 5 years. Aaron knew well who Daniel was and he had memorized his personal assistant's character. Even though he was often rude to Aaron, he was a very reliable personal assistant especially when it was related work. One of the reasons Aaron entrusted Daniel to calculate the company's profit for the last 6 months, even though this task could be done by the financial manager, but Aaron gave Daniel the opportunity to learn better.

"You've really made me lose concentration Anne, where did you actually go? And why did you just leave without telling me anything?" said Aaron wonderingly about the reason Anne left.

Various questions roamed in Aaron's head thinking about the reason why Anne just walked away without saying anything to him. Her cellphone had also been inactive since she disappeared that day. And this made Aaron Sean Connery so frustrated since he had never felt anything like this before. Aaron felt like he was being dumped by a woman and this annoyed him a bit too much. Someone like Aaron Sean Connery never got rejected in his life. That was why Anne's leaving had irritated him and it felt so incredibly painful.

"Don't call me Aaron Sean Connery if I can't find you, Anne. I'll search all over England to get you back," Aaron said to himself full of determination.

Meanwhile, in a luxury room in a resort located in the Swiss Alps area, a handsome man with a beard on his face was sitting alone holding a glass containing vodka that he had drink half of it. He sat back to the bed where a beautiful woman appeared to be asleep without wearing any clothes after they finished making love.

"It's very easy for me to find a woman who can accompany me to sleep, Anne. Never think you can do whatever you want to me just because I was good to you for one and a half years. You don't know who Jackson Muller really is, Marianne. You can keep hiding until you're satisfied. But don't blame me if one day I managed to find you, there will be a severe punishment that I will give to you Marianne," said Jackson full of revenge, smiling sarcastically remembering Marianne who he had been looking for this past week.
