I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 98 - Never Give Up

Aaron was almost close to his destination, Aaron slowed down because the area was full of pedestrians, Aaron who was concentrating on the Aaron tried to calm down and concentrate on driving his car. He wanted to come and see for himself whether Anne was going to Ireland or not. When steering wheel suddenly slammed on his car brakes when he saw Anne\'s car parked not far from where he was today. Without thinking, Aaron immediately looked for an empty area to park his car. With great curiosity, Aaron got out and approached the black Honda Civic car. His confidence was even greater when he saw a teddy bear wearing a shirt with the British flag on the dashboard.

"Aaron!"

The voice of someone who was quite familiar could be heard calling his name, so he immediately turned to the source of the sound and was stunned when he saw the owner of the voice was standing with a bouquet of roses in her hand.

"Anne," Aaron hissed softly when he saw the figure he was looking for was standing not far from where he was.

With a smile, Anne walked over to Aaron, who was standing beside her car.

"What are you doing here, Aaron?" Anne asked quietly.

"I should have asked you that, Anne, why are you here?" Aaron asked the question that Anne had asked him.

"I work here, that\'s my workplace," said Anne briefly, pointing to her flower shop.

Aaron\'s two eyes narrowed to the quiet flower shop.

"Flower shop, do you work in that flower shop?" Asked Aaron incredulously.

"Yes, I\'ll explain later. I have to deliver this flower bouquet, the owner has just arrived." Anne replied as she walked towards a white car that had just stopped right behind Anne\'s car.

Anne carefully handed over her bouquet of roses to the owner, and soon the car left. Anne smiled with satisfaction to see the buyer was happy with her work. Aaron, who was standing beside Anne\'s car, frowned when he saw Anne smiling at another man. There was a sense of annoyance and dislike rumbling in his chest at this time.

"Anne, you owe me an explanation!!" said Aaron coldly, suddenly standing beside Anne.

"Owe you an explanation, what do you mean?" Asked Anne, confused.

Instead of answering questions from Anne, Aaron grabbed Anne\'s hand and pulled her to the flower shop.

"Here, what do you mean by working in this flower shop, Anne?" Aaron replied curtly to Anne\'s question.

"Oh, yes, I work here, to be more precise, I opened this business, Aaron. I can\'t just do nothing after college. That\'s why I decided to open a flower shop in this place. Actually I want to continue the coffee shop business like in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, but I don\'t have any acquaintance who is a barista in London. That\'s why I decided to open a new business. I happen to know the previous owner of this flower shop very well. He sold it at a fairly affordable price and as you can see now I have a flower shop for me to continue my life and pay for my expenses while I study and live in London. You must know that the cost of living in this city is very expensive," Anne gave a lengthy explanation to Aaron.

"So you are the owner of this flower shop, then do you work alone? Isn\'t it very troublesome to arrange flowers and serve customers like that, when you only manage this flower shop alone?" asked Aaron again.

"No, I invited Linda to work here. Because Linda felt uncomfortable working at her previous workplace, she finally decided to quit and helped me manage the flower shop, so I had no trouble at all. Now Linda is going out delivering orders to an office not far from this place," answered Anne, smiling.

"Linda ..."

"Ah, right, you don\'t know who Linda is. So Linda is my buddy. You should have seen her during the performance. She appeared as the stepmother of the main character," said Anne excitedly.

Hearing Anne\'s words made Aaron pause at once. Because during the performance, he stepped onto the stage and had time to shake hands with several of the main players who appeared. He was also introduced to Professor Gilbert as the CEO of the Connery Corporation. Until recently he had not told Anne his true job. Remembering that made Aaron feel uneasy, he didn\'t want Anne to know who he really was from other people.

"Okay then, I\'ll go home first, Anne. I have to go back to work, I\'ll call you later. Oh yeah, where\'s your cell phone?" Aaron asked quickly.

"At the counter," said Anne curtly.

"Please always carry your cell phone. Don\'t let me call you many times, Anne. I think it\'s weird if you don\'t pick up my phone." Aaron protested with a rising tone. He didn\'t like Anne\'s habit of not immediately picking up incoming calls on her cell phone.

"Yes, sorry Aaron, while working, I often set my cell phone to silent mode," said Anne guiltily.

Seeing the change in Anne\'s expression made Aaron feel guilty. He slowly tidied Anne\'s hair, which was messy due to the wind.

"Well, it\'s okay, I\'m not mad at you, Anne. Then I\'ll go. Happy working, Boss and hopefully many buyers will come today." Aaron tried to break the ice by jokingly calling Anne the boss.

"Amen, let\'s go. Lest you\'re scolded by your boss," said Anne softly with a sweet smile on her face.

Aaron\'s heart skipped a beat, to see Anne smile at him like that was really uneasy. Only this time, he felt anxious like this when he saw a girl smiling. Because he didn\'t want to linger in that place, Aaron then stepped into the car which was parked directly across from Anne\'s car. After honking, Aaron then sped his car away from Anne\'s flower shop towards the main road. One hand still holding his chest which suddenly felt tight.

"What happened to me, God?" Aaron said softly.
