Aaron smiled when he saw the figure of Jackson Muller in front of him, he then welcomed Jackson's hand and held it tightly as he glared at Jackson who was also smiling at him.

"It's great to see you again, sir," said Aaron pleasantly. ​​

"I am also glad to meet you and I also want to apologize for what just happened, I purposely asked my driver to cut through your car, Mr. Aaron," replied Jackson directly without sounding guilty.

"You can just call me Aaron, I think I don't deserve to be called that way by someone as great as you Mr. Jackson," asked Aaron quietly as he let go of his hand from the hand of the Swiss man in front of him.

"Then, call me by my name as well, without using Mr. then. I think we will be closer to each other if we call by name," said Jack with a smile.

Aaron smiled at Jack's words, after making small talk for a while they both finally got into their respective cars and left the place. Wanting to continue the conversation in a more comfortable place, Aaron was forced to cancel his plan to come to UAL.

"Are you sure you want to speak to the Swiss man, sir?" asked Daniel slowly as he drove his car right behind Jackson's car to a designated place.

"Yes, Daniel. I'm very curious about that man, Jackson Patrick Muller is a man who doesn't get along well with people easily. That's why I didn't refuse his invitation, I want to know what Jackson Muller's purpose is actually to invite me to meet him. I'm sure he must have a specific goal other than asking me for afternoon tea," replied Aaron softly with a smile staring at the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon in front of his car.

Daniel nodded his head at Aaron's words, he then returned to focus on driving his car following the speed of Jackson's car which seemed to accelerate through the busy highway that morning.

Meanwhile, the UAL campus looked like its usual normal day. Some graphic design students were seen gathering in several places. They discussed the competition held by the Connery Corporation that asked the participants to design the new logo of a subsidiary of the Connery Corporation. Just like what had been explained by Daniel, the assistant of Aaron Sean Connery the other day. They seemed interested to participate in the competition held by the company owned by the handsome CEO, which made many female students fail to focus fully on the seminar yesterday.

Anne, who just got out of her car, looked confused when she saw that the graphic design students seemed so busy in the morning.

"Don't be surprised Anne, that is the effect of the seminar that was given by Connery Corporation yesterday," said Linda suddenly from behind, startling Anne who was standing beside the field.

"Linda!!! You almost give me a heart attack, can you stop shocking me like this? Good thing I don't have any history with heart disease and it was given by God. Imagine if it is a human-made, it might fall out the seconds you shock me like that," squealed Anne in a raised voice while clutching her chest that was pounding very hard after being startled by Linda.

"Hahaha ... I'm sorry, Miss Anne, it's your fault why you have to daydream in a morning like this," said Linda trying to defend herself with a laugh.

"I'm not daydreaming, I'm just surprised to see graphic design students are so busy in the morning," said Anne quietly.

"You should have joined yesterday's seminar, Anne. So you can find out what has made the graphic design students be this busy so early," said Linda quickly as she pulled Anne's arm to walk toward the classroom.

"What happened at the seminar?" asked Anne curiously.

Linda took a deep breath at the question from her best friend, she then told Anne what had happened yesterday on campus. During the time Linda shared the story about what happened at the campus yesterday, Anne only nodded her head many times while smiling. But then Linda got annoyed after seeing Anne just smiling without speaking. The reason was that she had shared about the very handsome CEO of the Connery Corporation with great enthusiasm, but Anne did not show any exciting expression. It was normal for Linda to get this annoyed since she was so into the handsome CEO and she expected Anne to be as excited as her.

"Are you straight? Are you even a normal regular woman, Anne? Why you seem like you are not interested in that handsome businessman?" asked Linda in a rising voice.

"Yes, I'm straight and I'm also normal, Linda. I still like men, it's just that I don't want to deal with rich men like that anymore. Trust me, what appears on the surface does not always look like what's on the inside, I've experienced it myself," said Anne, smiling meaningfully toward Linda.

"What do you mean, Anne?" Linda asked again.

Anne just smiled at her friend's question, she then accelerated her footsteps towards the classroom leaving Linda who was still curious about her previous answer. Anne ignored Linda's screams, who kept calling her name from behind.

"I don't want to have to deal with rich men like that anymore, Linda, what I want now is to be able to live my life in peace without having to get into trouble anymore. I want to enjoy life without having to feel fear and anxiety just like before," said Anne to herself while keep walking toward the classroom, Anne had decided to not get involved with any rich men for the rest of her life again after what she had experienced during the time she was still Leonardo Ganke's wife. That trauma seemed to have left a big wound inside her heart.
