Chapter 20 - The Same Kind Of Disappointment

Chapter 20 - The Same Kind Of Disappointment

Wearing a knee-length mini dress, Anne left for the coffee shop, she also brought a special container that she usually used to carry the cookies she made last night. Without thinking, Anne went to the coffee shop on foot, because the coffee shop and her apartment were close to each other. It is also common for people to walk everywhere they go, such as going to work or going to college and school. Most people's lifestyle where Anne lived preferred a healthier lifestyle, they will only use private vehicles if it was necessary for them or when they had to go to a place that cannot be reached by foot. It was not surprising at all to see many people walk by on foot like Anne does every day.

That day, Anne wore light make-up on her face because she just bought a beautiful primrose-colored lipstick the day before. Primrose was her favorite color. She bought the lipstick at a cosmetic shop not far from the coffee shop. She often came to that place to look for cute and adorable women's supplies such as nail polish of various colors as well as various lipstick choices. Not to mention some other women's hair accessories. Apart from offering a quite affordable price, Anne already knew the shopkeeper well so that she had no trouble if she wanted to find a certain product. That day, Anne's face, which had never been touched by any make-up, looked fresher when she applied primrose-colored lipstick which looked so pretty on her lips. Her fair skin similar to East Asian women perfected with straight black hair had made her look very beautiful that morning. No wonder that everyone who passed by her would give their smile and would immediately think that Anne was in love because they saw her appearance that was far different from any other day. ??

Anne's steps stopped when she saw a very familiar man standing in front of the coffee shop, with his hand on his hips the man starred at the coffee shop door, which was still locked tightly from the outside.

"Jack, you're back?" shouted Anne excitedly as she ran to her coffee shop.

"Where have you been? Why you didn't inform me yesterday? I also called you but there was no response!! Why did you do this to me? You told me yourself that you will inform me first if you can't come? Why did you disappear yesterday?" asked Anne repeatedly when she was standing in front of Jack.

Instead of answering Anne's questions, he stared at Anne from the top of her hair to her toes many times with a sharp heart-piercing gaze. There was no smile or a warm welcome from Jack as usual, even though Jack usually looked emotionless and expressionless but for some reason today he looked more hideous which made Anne feel a little scared.

"So this is the real you, Anne?" Jack said quietly as he took his hands off his waist and tucked them into his chest.

"What do you mean? I don't understand what you are talking about, Jack?" Asked Anne, confused.

"You don't have to act like an innocent girl who doesn't know anything Anne, I know who you really are. You don't have to pretend in front of me like this, no wonder you were divorced by Leonardo Ganke. Turns out that you're just a cheap woman, Anne." Jack replied sarcastically.

"But I really don't understand what you're talking about and why are you bringing up my status again ..."

Brakkkk

The box containing Anne's cookies which she was holding fell to the ground because Jack hit it so hard making all of Anne's cookies scattered on the ground. Anne's eyes filled with tears when she saw her cookies being crushed by Jack like that.

"Don't act like a stupid girl who doesn't know anything Anne, I'm sure you are fully aware of the things I'm talking about." Jack snapped guilelessly as he looked at Anne with a look full of hatred.

"What on earth have you done, Jack? What did I do to you?" asked Anne softly while kneeling, she tried to tidy up the cookies that were still in the container and didn't fall to the ground. Anne tried to rearrange the cookies she had cleaned up hoping that they can still be saved even though she believed the cookies were destroyed.

Brakkkk

Jack kicked the cookies Anne tried to save, he was annoyed because Anne was still busy taking care of her cookies.

"Jack….!!!"

"Why? Are you pissed off?" Jack scolded violently cutting off Anne who was starring on him while on her knees.

"I didn't think you would be this awful, Jack ... I thought you were just unfriendly to people, but it turns out that you are just a terrible guy who has no feelings, you are the worst person I know, Jack," said Anne sobbing with tears flooding her face while standing up.

Hearing Anne's words made Jack laughed out loud, he then took out three bundles of Euros from his jacket and immediately threw them at Anne. It shocked Anne and she immediately tried to avoid it since Jack was throwing the money on her face.

"Take the money, let's just say that the money is your reward for making those nasty cookies, if it's not enough, just say it. I can pay you more than the man who slept with you last night in..."

Plakkk

Anne slapped Jack so hard that he couldn't finish his sentence.

"Remember what I said well, I know I'm just a poor widow. But just keep it in mind that I can still make money in a much better way without prostituting myself. I was wrong to think of you as a good man, Jack. I was wrong ... this is purely my ignorance, thank you for all your kindness so far. I was the one who was wrong here ... and forgive me if I made any mistake that hurt you somehow ..." said Anne stammeringly while trying to hold her tears, even though her face was already flooded with tears. After saying that, Anne ran away from Jack, she ran away from her coffee shop with a broken heart.

"You're mean Jack ... you're so mean to me,"
