I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 272 - New Home

"Come down."

Jack\'s voice sounded heavy when he asked Anne to get out of the car, they were already in a luxury apartment building not far from Jack\'s housing complex.

With her mouth shut, Anne got out of the car, she was still annoyed at Jack who had dared to smack his ass in front of the maids. Even though he didn\'t feel guilty before, but Jack still insisted that what he did was to punish Anne who had spoken so carelessly.

Because Anne almost fell out of focus when the high heels she was wearing accidentally stepped on a fairly large rock, lucky Jack who quickly grabbed Anne\'s body and made her survive a scene that would have been very embarrassing if she fell.

"If you can\'t walk well, I\'d be happy to carry you!" Jack spoke softly into Anne\'s ear.

Anne, who was still very shocked, instantly realized when Jack was very close to her, she immediately pushed Jack with all her might to get away from him. However, Anne\'s strength was nothing compared to Jack\'s, as he didn\'t even move an inch. He was still very firmly gripping Anne\'s waist.

"Please, there are many bodyguards, Jack. Let me go," whispered Anne softly, trying to convince Jack to let her walk alone.

"If you\'re careless again, don\'t blame me if I carry you like before. I don\'t mind carrying you on my shoulders at all," Jack replied in a low, threatening tone as he began to loosen his grip on Anne\'s waist.

Anne\'s face was hot to hear Jack\'s words. As soon as Jack\'s hand was released from her body, Anne immediately walked quickly. She tried to stay away from Jack, walking in front of Jack quickly. Even though she didn\'t know where Jack was going, what she had in mind was to keep a safe distance from Jack.

"Through this elevator, Miss," a beautiful receptionist directed Anne to enter a fairly large elevator beside her politely.

Confusion appeared on Anne\'s face. She didn\'t understand why she was asked to go up to an elevator that was guarded by three of Jack\'s guards. Before her confusion was gone, Anne was suddenly startled by Jack who grabbed her waist and hugged her tightly.

"Come on in, don\'t waste time. We have a busy schedule after this," he said quietly without guilt as he stepped into the elevator while forcing Anne to come with him.

Anne, whose strength was much lower than Jack\'s, could only give up when she was dragged into the large elevator. The elevator took them to the eighth floor. It didn\'t take long for them to finally arrive. Because she didn\'t want to be hugged anymore, Anne immediately took the initiative to get out of the elevator when the door opened.

"Where are we?" Anne asked excitedly, trying to calm herself down so Jack wouldn\'t be mad at her for just getting out of the elevator.

A man wearing a name tag that read manager immediately approached Anne.

"Welcome Sir and Madam, I\'m Anthony. I will guide you both to the previously agreed unit 8018. This way, please."

"Agreed? Agree with what?" asked Anne confused.

Jack smiled at the words of the manager of the luxury apartment. He was happy because the order was done very quickly by the operational team. "Come along, don\'t talk too much. You\'ll know when you reach your destination," he answered softly with a meaningful smile as he grabbed Anne\'s hand.

"Jack, don\'t keep secrets like this. I don\'t like it!! You\'re not making an evil plan for me, are you?" asked Anne curtly. She also rebuffed Jack\'s hand who was trying to grab hers.

Instead of being angry at Anne\'s disobedient attitude, Jack smiled. He then walked up to Anne and smiled gently at her.

"I can\'t be mean to you, you know that very well, Anne. If I wanted to, I already did it when you were drunk last night. The proof that I didn\'t touch you was that we just slept together hugging until morning. So don\'t ever think that I want to be mean to you, keep your stupid thoughts away," replied Jack softly while flicking Anne\'s forehead quite hard.

"Ouch! It hurts, Jack!!!" Anne screamed loudly while holding her reddened forehead.

Jack just smiled at Anne\'s screams. He just kept on walking after Anthony, the manager from the luxury apartment he bought in full for Anne. Jack was willing to pay dearly for the apartment he deliberately chose for Anne, where the price of an apartment unit in this complex was the same as the price of one of the houses in his current housing complex. Jack deliberately bought her a luxury apartment that had very good security, because only certain people are allowed into the apartment. And for guests or families who do not have access to enter the building, they would not be allowed to enter for any reason.

Only certain people could freely enter the apartment apart from Anne and Jack. Access to enter the apartment was using a scan to the eye retina. It sounded like an exaggeration, but Jack chose the apartment without a second thought. Because with a very good security system like that, even Aaron Sean Connery wouldn\'t be able to reach Anne, because Jack had already made a list of a few names that were allowed to visit Anne\'s new apartment unit. People who didn\'t have access might enter the apartment building only if they come with the owner of the room, which was why Jack didn\'t mind paying a lot for the apartment unit. Because he thought the security was worth the price he had to pay, especially if it had to do with Anne, the woman he had settled to be his.

Their steps all stopped when they arrived in front of a door that had the number 8018. Anthony, the apartment marketing manager, used his ID card to open the door. After successfully opening the door, he politely took a step back.

"Please come in, Sir, Miss," he said quietly, looking down, his hands making a movement for Jack and Anne to enter the room he had just opened.

It was another plus point added to the apartment management from Jack. He was very happy with the attitude of the apartment manager, because in his opinion, only smart people would have an attitude like Anthony\'s.

"Come on in, take a look at your new apartment, Anne," Jack said softly to Anne who was standing behind him.

Anne looked up at Jack. "My new apartment?"

"Yes, this is your new apartment," Jack answered simply.

"But Jack, I don\'t..."

Anne was unable to finish her words because she was pulled by Jack into her new apartment. When she entered, her eyes opened wide at the luxury in front of her.

Anne covered her mouth with her hands and said, "Jack, this is too much. I can\'t possibly live in this apartment. I don\'t have enough money to pay the rent every month."

"Sorry Miss, this apartment has been paid in full by Mr. Jackson Patrick Muller. So you don\'t have to pay rent every month." Anthony answered Anne\'s words quickly. He felt the need to clear up the misunderstanding that was currently happening to Anne.

Gulped! Anne swallowed her saliva slowly.

"Paid in full? An apartment as luxurious as this?" asked Anne stuttering.

Jack, who had been silent for a while, smiled faintly when he saw her surprise. He had expected Anne to react like this. Given that Anne was not a woman who would be dazzled with wealth.

"If you don\'t want to live here, then you only have one choice, which is to stay with me at home," answered Jack lightly without guilt as he slowly walked towards Anne.

Anne\'s face immediately turned red when she heard Jack\'s unexpected words. "Don\'t be crazy, Jack!!!" she said loudly.

"Sorry, Anne, you can\'t refuse. Your only choice is for you to live in this apartment alone or stay with me at home."

Anne immediately fell on the floor, holding her head which suddenly hurt. Seeing Anne like that made Anthony wanted to help her. But Jack gave the apartment marketing manager a code to leave Anne like that. Jack knew that Anne was thinking about the best option. It was a very difficult choice for Anne to make, because both choices kept her within Jack\'s reach.
