I'll Teach You, Marianne.-Chapter 682 - Intruders
< Four Seasons Hotel Seoul, South Korea. 11.00 AM >
Jack laid down on the biggest size bed in his hotel room after finishing his fourth press conference in the last 5 days. The collaboration project with Connery Corporation really made him very tired. As Aaron said earlier, the attention of all East Asians was on the project they were currently working on, especially the South Koreans who were very enthusiastic and couldn't wait for the artificial island to be completed.
Even South Korean idols and artists had also shown their respective support for Jack and Aaron, the executor who was struggling to build a prestigious building in the country of ginseng.
Jack glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.
"It's almost twelve o'clock at night, no wonder I'm so tired," Jack said quietly with a yawn. Slowly, he got out of bed and prepared to go to the bathroom.
Today was really very tiring. After returning from the project, Jack and Aaron had to attend a press conference which was quite long and closed with a dinner with performances from idols from the three biggest agencies in South Korea today.
Jack, who didn't really like events like that, tried to stay calm and keep smiling throughout the event. He didn't want to disappoint those who were waiting for him. Moreover, coupled with the appearance of the idols who were performing on stage, Jack was really good at guarding the hearts of everyone present today. 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com
After ten minutes had passed, Jack came out of the bathroom and prepared to contact Anne. The considerable time difference with Switzerland made Jack happy. Even though it's almost midnight in Korea but in Switzerland it's still four o'clock in the afternoon. Leaning back in his work chair, Jack began to stare at his cell phone which was calling Anne. Even though he was tired, Jack always took the time to talk to Anne, Christian and the princess who was still in Anne's stomach.
He tried once and failed, even the second time failed as well. Finally, Jack's call was received on the fifth attempt. f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂
"Babe..." Jack sighed in frustration when Anne finally appeared on his cell phone screen.
Anne, who didn't feel guilty, immediately waved her hand at Jack. "Hi Daddy, we miss you."
Instantly, Jack's anger and fatigue disappeared when he heard the sweet words that came out of Anne's sweet lips.
"You just finished? How was your work today? You've had dinner, right?"
Jack smiled. "It's all done, I've eaten, I've taken a shower and there's only one thing I can't do right now." Jack's voice was hoarse as he spoke.
"What is it?" asked Anne curiously.
"Hug and kiss you three," Jack answered honestly.
"Oh, how sweet!" Anne answered Jack's sweet words with an intoxicating smile.
Jack was silent for a moment. He really was in torment right now. All his longing for Anne really made him suffer. Just being able to see Anne and not being able to touch her really gave him a deep pain. Although very tired and sleepy, Jack still listened to Anne's chatter about what she did today with Christian and Luis at home. Jack really felt so sad not being able to be at home and going through all the interesting things that his wife and son were doing.
"So when are you going home?" asked Anne quietly closing the story.
"In four days."
"Hmm, you've been in Korea for quite a while," said Anne briefly.
Jack nodded his head slowly. "Yes and I suffer a lot. Being away from you tortures me a lot, Anne. I miss you, miss your scent, I miss wanting to hug you, longing to talk to the princess. Arrggghh! I really can't take it anymore."
Anne squeezed the bottom of her nightgown pretty hard. It would be a lie if she didn't miss Jack either. Anne also experienced the same thing as Jack experienced, the bigger her stomach the bigger the desire to continue to be by Jack's side and she had to keep it to herself because she didn't want to interfere with the big work that Jack was doing at the moment.
"Don't be like that, the children and I are currently doing well at home. We will be patiently waiting for you to come home, you better sleep now. It's almost 12 o'clock in Korea, isn't it?" asked Anne quietly, glancing at the clock on his cell phone.
Jack nodded. "Yes and I miss you."
Anne chuckled. "Yes, now turn off your phone and go to sleep, so that tomorrow morning you will have better energy so that all your work can be completed without any problems and you can return home soon."
"But I still miss you," sighed Jack hopefully.
"I miss you too, but you have to remember that your body needs rest. The cells in your body need time to regenerate and they will work at night, so don't torture your body by continuing to do activities that could otherwise be postponed for the next day. If you're sick, the kids and I will be sad."
Jack was silent for a while before finally smiling sweetly at his phone. "Okay, I'm going to bed. Give a kiss to Christian and the princess, I love you all. I love you, Anne."
"We love you more. See you tomorrow."
Jack's cell phone screen was replaced with a photo of his wedding with Anne at York Minster. Anne had really turned off the call. Jack gave a big yawn. What Anne said was true. His body really needed time to rest. Without taking off his bathrobe, Jack then laid down on his soft bed in a supine position.
Clap!
Clap!
Jack clapped twice to turn off all the lights in his room. the VVIP room he occupied had sophisticated equipment so he didn't need a lot of energy to turn off the lights or open the window curtains, all he had to do was just clapping his hands. All these things could be done itself by a robotic system that had been arranged in such a way as to provide comfort for visitors to the 5-star hotel room in the city of Seoul.
By the time Jack had closed his eyes, it seemed that someone had managed to enter his room after he forced the room open using the double key he had. That person was wearing a black face mask that left only his eyes. The person's destination was the file that was on Jack's desk. With very careful steps, the person walked past Jack to the desk. The man's eyes lit up when he saw the file he wanted was on the table. But just as he was about to extend his hand towards the file, suddenly, Jack, who had been awake since the person entered the room, grabbed his hand and gripped it tightly.
"Who are you?!"
The stranger who had almost succeeded in doing his job seemed very surprised when he realized that Jack wasn't really sleeping. In a quick motion, he immediately pulled out a small knife that was under his clothes and stabbed it into Jack's chest so that Jack fell down on the floor with blood pouring out of the stab wound.
Seeing Jack collapsed with blood pouring profusely, the man panicked and immediately chose to leave Jack's room without taking the file he previously wanted to take away.
