One week had passed after the series of bloody events that shocked Anne. Now she had become calmer and could communicate well, although sometimes she still seemed to drift off. The loss of two important people who had contributed to her life was certainly not easy for Anne, and Jack understand that. As the agreement previously made with Luis, for now, Christian remained in his care in Luxembourg while Anne and Jack stayed in Switzerland to manage the company that had millions of people spread almost all over the continents.

After losing her friends, Anne decided to cut her hair short below her ears and Anne's current haircut was the shortest haircut she had in her life. Even though at first Jack didn't like it, but in the end he liked Anne's hairstyle which made her look fresher and young.

This morning, Anne, who usually woke up early to help the maids prepare breakfast, was waking up late, and followed Jack down to the dining table. Earlier, when Jack had finished bathing, Anne was still soaking in the bathtub. As a result, now when Jack had finished his breakfast, Anne had just come down from the second floor to join him.

"Whoa whoa whoa… What's this? Why is my wife so beautiful this early?

"

Anne, who just sat in front of Jack, just smiled when her husband commented on his appearance.

"I want to go with Alice.

"

"Alice? Today I have an important meeting, how could Alice not join the meeting?

"

Anne smiled.

"Just confirm it yourself with Erick. I'm sure he must also know about our plans today.

"

Jack, who couldn't believe it, immediately grabbed his cell phone and called Erick to confirm the truth of what his wife said. Jack hadn't even sent a message to Erick, when Erick's name suddenly appeared on his cell phone screen. It seemed that they really had a strong bond.

"Yes.

"

"Today there are only the two of us for the meeting, sir. Alice said that today she has a schedule to attend the summer fashion show of one of the leading clothing brands in Paris, sir.

" On the other end of the phone, Erick went straight to the point as soon as his connection to Jack was established.

Jack raised an eyebrow.

"Attending a summer fashion show?

" Jack's eyes immediately fell to Anne, who was enjoying the tender duck meat in fresh thin slices with delicious barbecue sauce without guilt.

Even though Anne was currently aware of being watched by Jack, but she was still calm and graceful, enjoying the food made by her best chefs. Only a true hostess could do this when there was a pair of sharp eyes staring at her without blinking.

"Okay then, cancel our schedule for today. I also don't want to miss watching that summer fashion show too.

"

Anne almost coughed when she heard Jack's words. Luckily, she immediately gulped the water beside her quickly to push the food that was caught in her throat into her digestive system.

After speaking innocently, Jack then put his cell phone back beside his plate and smiled at Anne who was currently wiping her lips with a napkin.

"Why? Is there anything wrong?

"

Anne glared.

"Come on, Jack, you can't do that.

"

"Can't do what?

" Jack asked playfully.

"Paris, why did you have to come to Paris too? I went with Alice and we were only staying for one night so…

"

"Oh, there are plans to stay overnight too, huh?

"

Anne immediately closed her lips tightly. She cursed her stupidity for not speaking because of Jack's annoying behavior that provoked her to speak the truth. Even though last night, Anne had planned to keep her plans a secret with Alice, but this time she fearlessly leaked her secret to Jack.

"Jack,

" sighed Anne, hoping that Jack wouldn't spoil her wonderful plans with Alice.

Jack waved his hands in the air with a sly smile.

"Actually I was just joking to give Erick a little heart exercise, but now I'm 1000% sure that I should come with you to Paris, especially after hearing the plans to stay overnight. Hmm I certainly can't miss that fun moment, can I?

"

Anne snorted.

"You're annoying. Why do you have to come with me wherever I go? After all, the show that will be held later is also a special show for women's clothing and I'm sure that is of very little importance to you.

"

"Oh of course there is, even though the show is specifically for women, I still have to participate. Because I have to make sure what kind of clothes my wife will wear later on, whether they're sexy or not, whether they will be able to make me burn in one look or…

"

"Pervert!

"

Jack chuckled as Anne cut him off by throwing a napkin at him.

"I'm just being a pervert to you and you know that well, don't you?

"

Anne did not answer Jack's words. She preferred to leave the dining table immediately because she had to tell Alice this bad news. The perfect plans that she had worked out well for the past two days with Alice had gone awry because that annoying Jack wanted to come along too. After connecting with Alice on the phone, Anne started telling Alice everything. While Anne was talking, Alice only took a deep breath repeatedly and Anne felt that there was something strange about Alice's very unusual expression. Normally, Alice would be on fire if Jack messed up their plans like before.

Anne's guess was proven. After she spoke at length, Alice said that Erick would also join them on their trip to Paris this time. Hearing Alice's words made Anne look back at Jack who was smiling at him very annoyingly.

"What?

" Jack asked quietly, pretending to be stupid.

Anne ignored Jack's question, as she was still focused on Alice, who was talking about her frustration because Erick suddenly wanted to go to the summer fashion show which was actually very sexy and very tempting.

"Well then, let's just continue as planned, Alice. I've been waiting for this collection of clothes for a long time, Alice,

" said Anne slowly ending her conversation with Alice.

After the connection was disconnected, Anne was again annoyed by Jack, who for some time had been standing beside Anne, as she stood next to a large window overlooking the cage of the two Siberian tigers that already had two cubs.

"You really suck, Jack,

" Anne snarled in annoyance at Jack, who had hugged her tightly.

Jack smiled.

"But I love you very much, Anne.

"

"Don't change the subject.

"

"No, who changed the subject?

"

Anne pursed her lips. Her eyes brimming with irritation but her annoyance didn't last long, because Jack immediately quelled the anger that welled up in her chest with a soft kiss on her wet lips.

"I just don't want any other guy to look at you with those savage eyes when I'm not around, babe. That's why I'd rather lose a million dollar project than to let you get into the wild fantasy of men in Paris.

"

"Jack …

"

Smack!

Jack again landed a kiss on Anne's lips so fast that she couldn't finish her words.

"I am the only one allowed to enjoy your beauty and body, Anne. Only me.

"
