Chapter 257 - Living Together

All the way home Anne was still thinking about what she had just seen in the office. She was really curious about Jack\'s plans.

"Is this what you call surprise, Jack?" said Anne to herself, remembering the message that Jack had sent her.

Anne, who was still thinking about Jack\'s arrival at Ganke Inc. Production, didn\'t realize that two men had been staring at her without blinking since she left the office. Even now the two of them were sitting in the back seat.

Because some of her toiletries were out, Anne then decided to get off at a supermarket not far from her apartment. She went down with several women who also wanted to go to the same supermarket. Seeing their target got off, the two mysterious men also got off the bus. The two men dressed in black seemed to keep their distance from Anne. When they saw Anne entered the convenience store, they immediately went in too. They also pushed a trolley and circled around the shop, trying to be as close as possible to Anne so as not to lose track.

Anne, who was in the toilet-only hallway, finally realized that someone was following her when she looked at the large mirror in front of her. She could clearly see the two men walking back and forth near the aisle where she was with an empty trolley. Feeling that something was not right, Anne tried to calm down. She didn\'t want to do anything wrong, especially making accusations. That was why Anne continued with her shopping in the store and pretended not to know that she was being followed, while trying to find a way to escape. Although she wasn\'t sure yet, but her instincts told her that the two men were following her.

Anne, who was confused about how to escape from the two men, was startled by the vibration of the smart phone in her bag. Without thinking Anne grabbed her cell phone and immediately picked up the incoming call from Jack.

"Anne..."

"Help me, Jack." Anne, who was panicking, immediately cut off Jack\'s words.

"What\'s wrong with you, Anne?" asked Jack in a rising voice. He immediately sat up straight from his sitting position.

"There are people who follow me, Jack, I just realized when I saw them just circling around me without buying anything. Right now I\'m at the supermarket near the apartment," Anne tried to briefly explain her guess.

"Share your location, Anne, I\'m going there right now, and please find a crowded place. Don\'t do anything or act stupid until I arrived. Calm down and wait for me..."

"How can I calm down, Jack? I\'m scared. Looks like these guys were following me from the office. Earlier I saw them at the bus stop. I thought they were passengers like the others, but now I\'m sure that they are not ordinary passengers. They are stalking me, Jack," cut Anne in a trembling voice. She was afraid because the two men were clearly looking at her several times.

"Marianne," Jack shouted loudly.

"I said calm down and don\'t panic, share your location right now. I\'ll be there soon. As long as you\'re in a crowded place that person won\'t be able to do anything. So calm down and don\'t panic, because if you panic, the two people will act recklessly and you could get hurt. Do you understand, Anne?" asked Jack again trying to calm Anne.

Anne took a deep breath and tried to calm down following Jack\'s instructions. "I\'m sharing my current location, come quickly, Jack. I\'m afraid," answered Anne softly with hope.

"Yes dear, I\'m coming, calm down and don\'t hang up... Anne, hello, Anne? Ah fuck, I just told her not to hang up this phone, but she had turned it off, Erick, let\'s go quickly to the address I shared with you. Anne is in trouble."

"Yes, sir," Erick answered briefly. He then increased the speed of his car to a location that was clearly visible on his car\'s GPS.

Meanwhile, in the back seat Jack tried to contact Anne again, but his call was not connected with Anne\'s cell phone. It seemed like Anne\'s cell phone was turned off, because all he could hear was the sound of the machine. All he could do was to keep asking Erick to speed up the car, even though Erick was already driving the car at maximum speed on a road full of snow. Alice, who was sitting beside Erick, chose to remain silent and strengthened her grip on the seat belt she was wearing. Everything related to Anne must be prioritized as it was now. In fact, Erick wanted to take her home first, but it didn\'t seem like that would happen because they were currently going to find Anne.

Anne, who was currently in the makeup area, was trying to calm down. She was entrusting her cell phone to a salesperson to charge her dead cell phone. To get rid of boredom, she looked at some of the beauty products that were on display today. She ended up buying some lipsticks that had quite a striking color. In fact, Anne didn\'t really like lipstick colors that were too flashy, plus she still had a large collection of lipsticks that she rarely wore. However, because she was currently in a situation that made it impossible for her to leave, Anne chose to buy some products that were nearby, especially the saleswoman who was charging her cell phone was on duty at the make-up counter that Anne had chosen.

Twenty minutes had passed, and Anne had bought enough make-up. But Jack hadn\'t arrived yet.

"Is there anything else you need, Miss?" asked the saleswoman in a friendly manner.

"Hmm... I don\'t think so, Miss, I\'ve purchased all the things I need. I can\'t wait to try this charcoal mask, I really like the smell," replied Anne slowly, trying to discuss the mask she had just bought to buy more time.

"This is our latest product, Miss. Many have used it and are very satisfied. Moreover, this mask is suitable for all skin types, so I guarantee you, you will like it," said the saleswoman excitedly, promoting the mask that was shown by Anne earlier.

"Hopefully it\'s suitable for my skin, Miss, this is the first time I\'ve tried charcoal cosmetics like this and ahhhhh…!"

Anne couldn\'t finish her words because suddenly she was pulled by Jack who managed to find her in the cosmetic counter by looking at the CCTV in the supermarket.

"Sorry, baby, I\'m late, you\'re okay right?" Jack asked quickly when he made Anne face him.

Seeing Jack in front of her eyes, Anne immediately hugged Jack tightly. Her eyes were immediately filled with tears. "I was afraid, Jack, I thought you weren\'t coming. I\'ve been desperate to be in this place for more than thirty minutes," said Anne quietly, closing her eyes on Jack\'s chest.

"It\'s okay, it\'s okay. You\'re safe now, I\'m here," Jack whispered softly as he tightened his arms around Anne\'s body.

Not long after that, Erick and Alice came running towards them. Without knowing it, Jack had ordered the security guard at the convenience store to arrest the two men who had been following Anne. At first, the store security officers did not believe Jack\'s words, but after they saw the CCTV and noticed that there were two men who were constantly around Anne, the supermarket security officer finally took firm action by immediately arresting the two people and they were already at the security post for questioning.

"Go back to my house, this place is not safe for you. I don\'t want to take the slightest risk," said Jack quietly.

"But, Jack..."

"And I don\'t like to be rebuked."
