Chapter 100 - Trying To Be Honest

After going through quite a tiring day, Anne and Linda finally closed the shop. Today, a lot of orders came via the Lotus florist social media that Anne had created.

Anne was tired of arranging lots of flower bouquets. She finally asked Linda to take her car, her hand was too hurt to drive the car to Linda's apartment. Therefore, now Linda was driving Anne home first.

"Thank you, are you sure you don't want to go in first?" Anne asked quietly as she got out of the car.

"No, Anne, I'm tired too. I have to get to my apartment soon. Tomorrow morning I still have to work. I don't want to make my boss angry if I wake up late," said Linda jokingly.

"Hahaha your boss is so fierce, go on home. Be careful, Linda, bye!" Anne waved her hand at Linda, who had just closed the window.

Shortly after Linda left, Anne then entered the apartment building. The security guards on night duty smiled at Anne.

Anne was well known in security circles for her warm hospitality, because the other residents of the apartment usually didn't greet the security guards, but Anne did.

She always greeted first. So it was not surprising that the security guards in the building were familiar with her, as tonight one of them immediately went to the elevator door, he immediately pressed the button for Anne to go straight in without having to wait for the elevator to go down.

"Thank you sir," said Anne sincerely.

"You're most welcome, Miss Anne, good night and have a good rest, miss," replied the security guard who helped her press the button with hospitality.

Anne smiled at the guard's words. She then got into the elevator after nodding her head slowly to the other guards.

After she entered, the elevator door immediately closed and went up to take her to the tenth floor.

Since no one was in the elevator, Anne was able to quickly get to the tenth floor.

After it stopped, Anne immediately got out and walked slowly to her room which was located at the end of the hall. She smiled when she saw several small children sitting on a small stool near the elevator and enjoying ice cream.

Because Anne didn't come home too late, she could still meet the children, while usually when she returned home, the hallway was very quiet because all the residents had entered their units.

Whwn Anne arrived in front of her room, she immediately opened the door and entered the room, and went straight to the sofa to lay down.

"What a day! Thank you for your blessings, God," said Anne softly, smiling as she remembered the many flower buyers today.

Because the supply of roses was running low, Anne sent a message to Mrs. Mary, and ordered two hundred red and white roses again.

Even though yesterday when Mrs. Mary and Mr. Albert first arrived, they had already given her two hundred roses, but only three days her stock of roses was running low.

She even didn't have any more stock of red roses. After sending a message to her flower supplier, Anne then went to the bathroom. She brought a box of rose petals that she had separated from the stalk.

At first, she wanted to get rid of the bad flower, but suddenly Anne had a bright idea. Anne painstakingly sorted out the bad rose petals to be thrown away, while the ones that were still good were kept in the box. She planned to soak with the rose petals in a bath.

After sprinkling rose petals into a bath filled with warm water, Anne then took off all her clothes, and slowly went into the bath tub.

By enjoying Mozart's piano playing, which she played from her cell phone, enjoying her night shower, she just drew her long hair and was exposed to rose water.

"Going to the spa for a rose bath like this must be very expensive," said Anne softly while playing with the rose petals floating in the water.

Anne then closed her eyes for a moment, soaking with Mozart's music made her relax. Little Anne who had lived in simplicity never thought that she would be able to enjoy life like this. To be able to just try to soak in a bath had never crossed her mind.

When she married Leon, Anne had never soaked herself like this in Leon's mansion, so she gave herself some special time to take a bath.

She also did not get soap for bathing because the servants at Leon's house at that time kept all the toiletries, so she couldn't help but have to buy all her toiletries herself.

Even though she had bought toiletries, if she forgot not to tidy up the toiletries, the next day all the toiletries had been moved to the trash.

The servants in Leon's house were scared of Leon than of Anne. They were only good when there was Mrs. Catherine,? Leon's grandmother who was very kind to Anne.

Anne's two eyes opened at once as she remembered her old life in Leon's mansion, her face flushed with a rush of breath.

"Why do I have to remember them again, God?" said Anne softly.

Anne finally ended her night shower when realizing she had been soaking for almost twenty minutes. She quickly got up from the bath to rinse.

She left the bathroom with a towel covering her body, and left the rose petals in the bath. She planned to clean the rose petals by tomorrow morning, her sleepiness couldn't be compromised.

After wearing her nightgown, she then laid down on the bed. Soon, she fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Aaron, who had been busy all day long because he was arranging the cancellation of cooperation with Amanda's father, Mr. Yoseph Carter, had just finished,

He even called a lawyer to cancel the cooperation agreement whose project had been running. Aaron broke the relationship because he was disappointed with Amanda's attitude, at first Mr. Yoseph did not accept Aaron's decision to cancel their cooperation.

But when he saw the CCTV footage of what Amanda was doing a few days ago in Aaron's room, Mr. Yoseph Carter finally agreed. He looked very embarrassed knowing? what his daughter was doing.

All compensation for the cancellation of the cooperation was paid in half by Aaron, because Mr. Yoseph did not want to accept? Aaron's money. He had no face to Aaron.

What Amanda did really crushed him, because? of Amanda's words and screams were heard very clearly on the recording that Aaron gave.

"I hope that in the future we are still on good terms as co-workers, sir, even though at this time we cannot continue this collaboration," said Aaron quietly as he greeted Mr. Yoseph who was leaving.

"I am very sorry, Mr. Connery, I really didn't expect this to happen. I apologize once again to you for what Amanda did, although maybe you will find it difficult to forgive her," answered Mr. Yoseph stammered.

"I have already forgiven Amanda. It's just that for now I want to keep my distance to meet her again by being forced to cancel the cooperation between us sir.

I just didn't want Amanda to come back and made the same noise or even worse at the office.

Luckily, yesterday I was not in a meeting with clients.

If that happened, you would definitely have more difficulties in the future, therefore now we better keep our distance to avoid unwanted things from happening again, sir.

Hopefully with this Amanda can learn a lesson and can think wisely in the future," said Aaron softly. Actually, he felt bad for Mr. Yoseph but Aaron was forced to do this to stay away from Amanda.

Mr. Yoseph just nodded his head slowly at Aaron's words. He really had run out of words to answer his business partner.

Shame, disappointment, and anger were dominating him at the moment. His goal was to go home as soon as possible and to punish his only daughter who had smeared his face in front of Aaron.

Before Mr. Yoseph went home, Aaron had asked many times not to be so hard on Amanda, Aaron was afraid that his business partner would do things that were out of line with Amanda.

"Actually, I pity Miss Amanda, sir," said Daniel quietly as soon as Mr. Joseph left.

"Pity, sorry for what?" Aaron asked curtly.

"She is a victim, Sir. Her parents are very cold to her. Even though Miss Amanda is an only child, she is still a tool used by Mr. Joseph to expand his business.

I think what Miss Amanda did yesterday was the impact of the pressure she had been experiencing so far.

I heard that before Miss Amanda came to this office, she had a big fight with her father, Mr. Yoseph, after she was arranged for a man who was almost the same age as Mr. Joseph himself, Sir," Daniel replied at length.

Aaron was silent when he heard Daniel's words, actually he hadn't told in detail what Amanda said to Daniel, but it turned out that Daniel already knew beforehand.

"I'm sorry for her, Daniel, but I don't have any feeling for Amanda. It's so different when I'm.."

"Miss Anne, you like Miss Anne, don't you?" Daniel replied quickly interrupting Aaron's words.

"Anne is different, she's not the same as most girls. Anne is hardworking and doesn't see a guy's social status, as long as you know Daniel.

Anne thought I was an employee, she didn't realize that I was the CEO of the Connery Corporation which became one of the companies that yesterday came to his campus as a guest of honor.

She didn't know that I was the one who provided the opportunity to work for UAL students, Daniel, she didn't know that, "Aaron said quickly.

"Oh my God, even though Miss Anne doesn't look like a fool. But why doesn't she know anything," Daniel replied spontaneously.

"She's not stupid, Daniel, she just doesn't care about someone's social status. This is why I'm attracted to her. I'm afraid that if she finds out I'm the CEO of the Connery Corporation, she will stay away from me, Daniel.

At that time, Anne once told me that she didn't want to have a relationship with rich people, that's why I said yes when she thought I was an employee, "Aaron replied softly defending Anne.

"But if you like Miss Anne, you better be honest, sir, don't let Miss Anne get angry because she feels cheated. Any relationship based on dishonesty will be destroyed, sir," Daniel said quietly.

Aaron was silent at Daniel's words, he thought seriously about the last words of his right hand.

"What if she's angry at me, Daniel?" Asked Aaron unconsciously.

"You must be prepared with all the consequences, sir, at least you have no more secrets to hide from Miss Anne, sir." Daniel smiled in response to Aaron's question.

Shortly thereafter, Aaron was seen creasing his thin lips, his handsome face looked even more adorable when he smiled like that.

Aaron slowly got up from the chair, he then walked slowly toward the exit without a word leaving Daniel alone.

"Love really makes someone weird," said Daniel quietly as he tidied the files that were in front of him.
