Chapter 605 - Chester Lloyd's Message

Alice's face was still as red as a tomato when Jack arrived at the office, hearing the good news of Alice's return to Muller Finance International. Jack was on his way to work with Anne. Jack decided not to leave Anne in the next few days. He was still afraid that Chester would see Anne again, even though Anne had said that she would never leave him, but still Jack couldn't keep his calm. Jack knew very well who Chester Lloyd was, who had just been appointed as the new secretary general of the United Nations.

"Are you serious about coming back, Alice? I'm so happy, so I won't be alone now," said Anne happily for the umpteenth time as she tightly gripped Alice's hand.

"That I haven't..."

"Haven't what?" asked Anne quickly.

"Alice is still embarrassed, Madam, you shouldn't tease her like that," Nicholas answered quickly in response to Anne's words.

Alice immediately turned to Nicholas with a murderous look. For the past three years, without the knowledge of others, Alice was still communicating with Nicholas. Because of that, Alice knew what happened to Jack, including about Giselle trying to get close to Jack. And all this time, Nicholas had also been giving Giselle an unfriendly attitude, because he knew that Giselle had other intentions when she was Jack's secretary, and he learned that from Alice. After they exchanged thoughts a lot, finally Nicholas was told by Alice that Giselle wasn't really willing to help Jack run the company. As a woman, Alice immediately knew about Giselle's hidden intentions from the moment Nicholas started telling her what Giselle had done while being Jack's private secretary. That was why when she first met Jack yesterday, Alice really showed her distaste for her former boss. Alice was very annoyed that Jack had been too stupid to let the female snake that was ready to devour him continued to be around him.

It was because of her frustration that Alice finally purposely told Jack about Chester Lloyd. She deliberately brought up Chester's name to provoke Jack. Alice tried to open Jack's eyes by saying that his wife was a very extraordinary woman, a one of a kind woman who was not comparable to the female snakes that had been swarming around Jack. And what Alice did was solely to make Jack realize and not waste Anne's return. Actually, Alice did not agree with Anne returning to Jack in such a short time. Alice hoped that Anne would punish Jack a little longer before deciding to get back together. But after last night hearing all the reasons Anne wanted to go back to Jack, Alice finally realized that the husband and wife actually really loved each other.

Realizing Alice's murderous stare made Nicholas realize. He immediately raised his hand and immediately hid behind Jack for protection.

"Never mind, the important thing now is that Alice wants to return to the company, that's the most important thing. Regarding the continuity of her relationship with Erick, I don't want to interfere," said Anne slowly, deliberately flicking Erick's ego.

Erick's face immediately turned red. He thought that Anne would support him back to Alice. However, his guess turned out to be wrong, Anne actually only liked Alice to return to the company to be Jack's secretary.

From his chair, Aaron seemed to smile at the behavior of the people in front of him. "Looks like your place is right here, Alice. I know you've been uncomfortable working with me. But I'm very grateful because as long as you work with me, you've done all the best, really I'm very happy to have worked with you."

"Sir..."

"It's okay, Alice, I won't be angry. Your place is here, at Muller Finance International. Don't you know that your grumpy boss is very clumsy? So you must continue to take good care of him," added Aaron with a smile.

Anne pursed her lips at Aaron's words. Apparently, Aaron hadn't changed. He was still the same as before, still very understanding.

"Thanks, Aaron." Anne thanked Aaron without making a sound, only moving her lips.

Aaron, who saw the movement of Anne's lips, immediately smiled while nodding his head and damn, Jack saw what Anne was doing to Aaron. Although there was jealousy, Jack tried to calm down. He was sure that Anne would not be tempted by Aaron. Anne had promised not to leave her and Jack believed her.

After Alice agreed to return to work at the Muller Finance International, the meeting to discuss Benjamin Calum and Leon was resumed. Anne, who did not understand what they were discussing, just sat on the sofa in Jack's room while everyone was talking seriously. Today, Christian did not come with them, because Luis wanted to take Christian for a walk. Luis wanted to bond closer with Christian. That's why today Anne was only going to the office with Jack alone.

When Anne was still playing with her cell phone, suddenly a notification appeared on her cell phone. Both of Anne's eyes narrowed when she saw a slightly unusual account name suddenly sent a message to her through the inbox. Instantly, Anne stood up and surprised everyone, including Jack.

"Is the Geneva University Hospitals far from here?" asked Anne in a trembling voice.

"What about the hospital, Anne?" Alice quickly returned.

"Charlotte, she was taken to the hospital," answered Anne in a trembling voice.

"Charlotte? Who is Charlotte?" asked Aaron in confusion.

"Chester Lloyd's daughter."

Thump!

Jack immediately glared at Anne without blinking when Chester Lloyd's name was mentioned by Anne.

"Who the hell is Chester Lloyd?" Daniel asked innocently.

"He's the newly elected secretary general of the UN," Nicholas answered quickly.

"Do you know the man, Madam?" Daniel asked Anne again.

Jack's jaw clenched. He looked very angry right now. "How did you know the child was taken to the hospital?"

Anne turned to Jack. "Chester, he texted me."

Bang!

Jack hit the table hard.

historical

"I'm not hearing wrong, right, Anne!"

Anne approached Jack and handed the phone to Jack. "You can see for yourself,"

Jack took Anne's cell phone and read the message Chester Lloyd had sent to Anne's social media accounts.

"How did he know your social media accounts?" Jack asked probingly.

Anne took a deep breath. "Is it okay if I give him my cell phone number?"

"Of course not!!" Jack replied curtly.

Anne smiled. Her gaze warmed as she gazed deeply at Jack. "Don't be mad, I don't need to explain anymore, do I?"

Jack shook his head with a forced smile. "But still, I'm angry, how dare he text you. You damn Chester Lloyd!"

"Come on, come with me to the hospital," said Anne softly, trying to soften Jack's heart.

Jack was silent for a while before his face softened. "All right. For the sake of that motherless child."

Slap!

"Ouch! Why did you hit me, babe?" Jack asked, groaning a little while holding his arm which was hurt from being hit by Anne so hard earlier.

"Think for yourself what you said wrong," replied Anne curtly as she continued walking towards the door.

Seeing Anne leave, Jack immediately followed her quickly, ignoring the many people who had been silent for a long time watching the husband and wife bickering.

"Pinch my cheek, Daniel. I'm not watching a Korean drama, am I?" Nicholas said quietly.

Daniel shook his head quickly. "No, what you just saw was live action."
