Chapter 36 - A Clue

When Anne almost arrived in front of the television, suddenly the electricity in her apartment went out, making everything completely dark at once. Not only the room was blacked out but one building, because Anne didn't like the darkness she finally decided to go up to her room which was on the second floor. Anne uses the lamp from her cellphone for lighting because she does not have an emergency light in her apartment, step by step Anne climbs the stairs to her bed carefully. Even though it was the first time the electricity went out, Anne was still uncomfortable, because it was already night Anne finally chose to sleep and hoped that the electricity would come back on when she slept.

"So that's the only secret master?" ??

"It seems that the secret of your success can be copied by many people,"

"It is really a very accurate way,"

Various comments came from the reporters so that it made Jack smile, he was actually just making it up when talking like that. But the reporters actually believed what he said, and soon the question and answer session with Jack was over. Four black men immediately approached where Jack was, they also formed a barricade for the master to walk away from the venue to the car that was parked in front of the hotel where he got the award.

Arriving in the car, Jack immediately leaned his body in the car seat, closing his eyes, an award ceremony like this was an event he never liked because he would definitely be interviewed like that. Not appearing in public for almost 1.5 years made him the butt of journalists tonight and it irritated him, because they would be asking him the same questions as ever.

"Being a journalist is the most useless job in the world," said Jack irritably, opening his eyes slowly.

"If there are no reporters, no one will present the news, sir, '' said Erick, the right hand man responding to Jack's words.

" Shut up, I don't want to hear your input, "Jack shouted in an elevated voice.

Erick burst out laughing at the sight. The master is angry, returning to work beside Jack is something he really missed after 1.5 years of working alone to take care of Jack's company.

"Have you heard from England Erick?" Jack asked softly.

"Nothing, sir," Erick replied quietly.

"Fuck !!!"

Jack cursed again, but this time he didn't scold Erick. He was annoyed with the work of his people in England, who for almost three months had not succeeded in carrying out the orders he gave. Erick chose to remain silent. did not dare to speak anymore, he knew that the master's mood was really bad tonight. Since returning from England, Jack's attitude was indeed messier than before and it was not only Erick who was aware of the change in his master, many people who also realized but no one dared to open his mouth.

Although in fact Jack's attitude was cold and notoriously unfriendly to his previous employees, this time he was more dominant and it was obvious that he was angry more often than before going to England. Many staff guessed that the CEO's angry attitude was because he was still upset because of his separation from his lover, Shopia Hignis, who chose to date a football athlete who was on the rise, Shopia Hignis' beauty was no longer in doubt. Moreover, his ability to play the piano can bewitch anyone, so it is only natural that the CEO is still thinking about his ex-girlfriend. Almost all staff have such an assumption, Erick who knows about the gossip can only be silent and warn his subordinates not to talk like that when Jack is in the office.

"When was the last time you broke up Erick?" Jack asked suddenly from the back seat breaking the silence.

historical

"W-what, sir?" Erick stuttered back.

"I asked you when was the last time you broke up," Jack said quietly.

"Oh that, I last dated one week ago," replied Erick guiltlessly.

"And you are this relaxed, are you human or not Erick !!!" yelled Jack in annoyance.

Erick, who was drinking, almost choked when he heard the sound of Jack's scream which was very deafening, he quickly grabbed the tissue in the car drawer to wipe his mouth and his clothes which were wet with water. Seeing Erick in a mess like that, the driver only smiled faintly without making a sound, he was happy to see Erick getting angry with his master. The reason is that Erick has always bragged that he was never angry with his master.

"I broke up why are you angry sir ?!" asked Ercik irritably.

"I'm not mad, bastard, just amazed. How can you be this calm when you just broke up a week ago," Jack replied dryly.

"Yes, that's my problem, sir, then why are you bothering to think about my attitude," said Erick, confused.

"Ahhh never mind ... I don't want to discuss this again with you," said Jack quietly trying to end his heated argument with Erick.

Hearing the master's words, Ercik shook his head slowly, he really didn't understand the direction of the master's conversation which was very strange. Because he didn't want to look for trouble, Erick finally chose to remain silent, even though he was actually still very upset and wanted to talk at length, but knowing that his master was in a bad mood, he finally chose to just close his eyes to calm himself.

The atmosphere of the car is quiet again, because the car carrying Jack is a type of range rover that can minimize outside noise so that the inside of the car is very smooth and almost silent.

"If Erick can be this relaxed then why am I like this, why are you restless. Actually what happened to me God," said Jack to himself as he opened his eyes slowly looking towards the front.

London, England

Aaron, who woke up because he was hungry, was shocked by the arrival of Daniel who made a scene outside his room by knocking on his door without stopping so that Aaron was forced to get up from his soft bed, holding back Aaron's annoyance to open his door and give a deadly welcome to a smiling Daniel wide without feeling guilty.

"If I kill an innocent I have killed you for a long time, you bastard !!" said Aaron irritably.

"Ehh wait, you can't kill me sir. You will be happy when you know the news that I bring," said Daniel, smiling broadly.

"I'm not interested," Aaron replied curtly.

"Even though this is related to a girl named Anne ...."

"Said again !!"
