A black helicopter with a large C logo on the right and left of its body landed smoothly on the helipad on the Muller Finance International rooftop. Throughout the journey, Christian continued to babble as he looked down and pointed at several places that he thought were interesting. Jack patiently informed Christian of the places pointed to by Christian, while Anne remained silent and did not take part in the conversation between the father and son. Anne was still annoyed with Jack who she thought was too defensive of her schoolmate, even though Anne had clearly stated before that there was no truly pure friendship between an adult male and an adult female, especially since one of them was still single. But Jack seemed to have underestimated what Anne had said and to be honest it pissed her off.

"How did you like our trip?

" Jack stroked Christian's head lovingly, shortly after he removed the headphones from the ears of his son who was in his lap.

"Of course I love it, Daddy. Can we repeat it every day?

"

Jack smiled.

"If you want to, I'm fine with that. I'm actually happy.

"

"Did you hear that, Mom? Daddy let me keep flying like this every day to go to the office.

" Christian screeched loudly with joy.

Anne smiled. She then caressed Christian's face fondly. Christian was really a cure for her.

"Okay, let's go downstairs. I have to go to the bathroom.

"

Christian nodded quickly, and so did Jack. Hearing Anne want to go to the bathroom made him move quickly. He didn't want to keep Anne waiting. Several bodyguards who had been waiting for the arrival of the small family were already lined up in front of the helicopter, whose propeller had been turned off by Erick shortly after he had successfully landed on the helipad. Jack stretched out his hand to Anne, trying to help her. Although initially hesitant, Jack finally smiled when Anne accepted his helping hand.

As soon as they got off the helicopter, the little family rushed into the building. As Anne said before she immediately looked for the toilet. While Anne was in the toilet, Jack waited for her patiently as well as Christian, who was running around the hall here and there. The kid was really very active, and seeing his son grow to such a healthy state made Jack grateful. After five minutes, Anne came out of the bathroom. Her face looked fresher after she put lipstick on her lips.

"Still here?

" asked Anne curtly.

Jack smiled.

"Of course, I can't leave you alone.

"

Anne rolled her eyes. She was embarrassed by the words Jack had just said. And Jack realized that. He knew Anne didn't like the words he just said. How poor you are, Jack!

To get rid of the awkward situation, Jack then carried Christian and walked towards the elevator to go down to the 40th floor where his room was. But just as they passed the stairs next to the elevator, suddenly they heard the sound of someone talking on the phone quite loudly. Jack immediately asked Anne not to make a sound. He even asked Erick not to continue his steps and not move.

"Of course, Jack will be mine soon enough.

"

"Is his wife beautiful, you say? She's just an ugly duckling dressed up as a swan, looks beautiful and elegant from the outside, but still once a duck is always a duck.

"

"I once lost to that bastard Sophia Higgins the pianist. This time I can't be beaten again by a woman who is not on my level... Giselle Allen is no match for her.

"

It was Giselle's voice talking to someone on the phone. Her voice was quite clear because she was talking on the stairs that connected the 40th floor and 41st floor which was the way to the rooftop. Jack's hands were clenched into fists in anger when he heard Giselle's words, while Anne just smiled. Yes, Anne just smiled. Her guess was right and Jack knew firsthand.

Christian who didn't know anything looked confused when his parents were silent. The child slowly touched Jack's face with his tiny hands.

"Are you okay, Daddy?

"

Christian's voice managed to bring Jack to his senses.

"Sure, I'm fine.

"

"Then why are your eyes now look like Mommy's eyes last night? Even Mommy's eyes look like your eyes today!

"

Jack immediately turned to Anne who was teary like himself. The difference was that Anne's eyes looked very sad in contrast to Jack who was full of anger.

"Mommy, are you okay?

" Christian chirped back.

Anne immediately wiped away the tears that were still trapped in her eyes.

"Yeah, baby. I'm fine.

"

"But you're crying.

"

Anne smiled.

"How can I cry? There is dust in my eyes, honey. My eyes are itchy with dust, that's why I looked like I was crying.

"

What an amateur liar.

Jack looked at Anne sadly, full of regret. But Anne didn't care. She was already annoyed with Jack, who didn't believe what she had said before. Anne, who was angry with Jack, then turned around trying to leave the place, but Erick blocked her steps. Erick felt that Anne should not leave Jack's side at this time, because if that happened then their fight would be prolonged and it would make things even more chaotic than now.

Anne finally relented after she had previously tried to go past Erick, who was holding her back. And from where he was standing, Jack took a deep breath. He was grateful that Erick knew what he wanted. Jack slowly approached Anne and led her into the elevator which was not far from where they were standing now. Because he didn't want to make Christian realize that their relationship was not good, Anne finally relented. She hid her feelings in front of her son who was playing with the tie around Jack's neck. If it wasn't for Christian, Anne might have left a long time ago. Christian's presence really gave Jack many advantages.

Since it only took one floor down, their stay in the elevator was very brief. Anne immediately got out of the elevator and rushed out of Jack, but she didn't go straight into Jack's room. Anne was still standing in front of the elevator quietly waiting for Jack to come out. Some staff who noticed her presence immediately greeted and it made Anne smile awkwardly. After Jack and Christian left, Anne followed behind with Erick, who was smiling at her. They walked to the largest room on the 40th floor. It was the CEO's room of the largest funding company in Europe.

When Anne was about to enter her husband's room, out of the corner of her eye she could see Giselle. Giselle, who was standing in front of her room, looked at Anne sharply even though her lips curved into a smile. Damn, hypocritical woman!

Anne smiled faintly. She really couldn't believe that Giselle had prepared everything. The clothes she was wearing right now was really inappropriate for a secretary. It was a blouse with a low cleavage which allowed anyone to see her chest clearly and it made Anne sick, really. Anne herself had always avoided clothes that would show her beauty since she was in college, so when she saw a woman who didn't hesitate to show her beauty to everyone, Anne felt disgusted.

The difference between a good woman and a seductive woman was clearly visible.

"Erick, have Giselle come into the meeting room in 30 minutes. I want to talk to her alone.

"

Thump!
