CHAPTER 17
“What happened?” Asked Jeanne curiously after Aaron and Albert finished their intense conversation behind her.
“The marketing team decided to pull back from this project,” explained Albert calmly.
Jeanne was so shocked with the news.
“Why so sudden?”
“We are not sure.”
Aaron then said,
“Albert, please inform them that I will go to Paris by myself to sort this out. Please arrange the appointment.”
Albert nodded, and Aaron directly went to Harry beside the car. Jeanne just followed.
“Harry, we will go to Paris tomorrow. Prepare the jet and get further information from Albe

However, Jeanne did not feel disappointed because she knew what was his priority. She woke up towards Aaron and gave him a back hug and a sensual kiss on the neck. She felt so bad for Aaron. “Anything I can help?” Asked Jeanne with a dear voice. “Pour me some wine.“ Aaron ordered, in a serious tone. He seemed to be not in a good mood because the work was still undone and the lust was now turned off. He was really not in the mood of making love. Jeanne who was resting her head on his shoulder just obeyed the sudden order. Yet, she arranged her steps to the countertop. But then, Jeanne felt nervous because she was unsure which wine Aaron wanted. She wanted to ask but seemed like Aaron was in a bad mood, and she did not dare to continue asking further. “Pour me the red

After almost an hour of an intense phone call, finally Aaron ended the call. His head felt so miserable. Miserable with work, and miserable with his relationship. He was about to finish Jeanne but this fucking call messed everything up. Aaron took a deep breath before going into the room. Deep in his heart, he was still hoping that Jeanne will still be on the countertop but he also realized that it might not be happening because the call already swayed the mood. He pushed the door slowly and saw the room was in dim light. His eyes caught Jeanne sleeping peacefully and comfortably on the bed. Aaron went to her. Aaron went to her and sat beside her while caressing her smooth, silky hair. “I'm sorry, baby...” Whispered Aaron in Jeanne’s ear. He felt so bad for leaving Jeanne in such a condition. And, the fact that t

“We have safely arrived,” said the captain calmly. While waiting for the jet taxiing to the hangar, Jeanne suddenly noticed that the female cabin crew kept staring at Aaron tensely. Jeanne started to feel uneasy with the cabin crew's reaction but she decided to let it slide. Once the jet stopped, the female cabin crew quickly stood up and opened the door. She stood by the side of the door silently. Harry went out first, continued by Aaron and Jeanne. When Aaron was passing the cabin crew, “Thank You, Mr. Walters,” said the cabin crew with an indescribable tone. Aaron kept his head to the front while nodding, and did not give a damn about the cabin crew. She looked quite disappointed with Aaron's reaction before her eyes met with Jeanne. Jeanne stared at her col

“Are you okay?” Asked Aaron after seeing Jeanne looking miserable. “Yes. I'm good.” Answered Jeanne while smiling, trying to let go of her past. “Let's have lunch, shall we?” “Sure. There is a place that I know that serves good lunches. Let's go there!” Invited Jeanne cheerfully. Harry became a little bit stuttered at the invitation because he was afraid that the place would not be what Aaron used to. “Of course, sure! Let's go, Harry.” Ordered Aaron. Although he was unsure about the place, he was still ready to follow Jeanne and know more about her. Harry then just followed. After that, Jeanne told Harry about the place and Harry drove them there. Jeanne and Aaron ma

“Hey, man!” Greeted Baldhead who just arrived at the club while tapping Aaron's shoulder. Aaron, who was drinking alone, at first startled at the greet, quickly fist bumping when he saw Baldhead. “Hey, what's up?” “It's been forever!” Exclaimed Baldhead. Aaron smiled. “Whiskey, please,” ordered Baldhead to the bartender. “What brings you here, man?” Aaron took a sip of his drink and answered. “Some business. Problems... Issues…” “Whoop, stop there! You never seemed this gloomy. Tell me everything,” said Baldhead.

Aaron was inexpressibly shocked at the presence of Jeanne in this kind of situation. Jeanne was still frozen in place, could not believe her eyes. Aaron extremely quickly pushed Maria to the side, corrected his trousers and walked towards Jeanne. He held Jeanne's shivering shoulder with both of his hands and looked into Jeanne's face with regret. “No... No, Jeanne. It is not what you see,” said Aaron, stuttered incredibly as it seemed hard to salvage the situation. Jeanne who chinned down, could not believe her eyes, lifted up her face and looked into Aaron's eyes, deep, trying to find the sincerity in those eyes. There was sincerity, but blurry. “Oh please, Jean

The next morning, a nice aroma woke up Jeanne. The smell like someone was baking something, something cheesy and something new in this house.“Good morning, I introduce you to Cheesy Mushrooms, Brie and Pancetta Croissant!” Annie cheerily announced it.“Come, let's eat,” Ma said to Jeanne when seeing her at the stairs.Jeanne was so proud of Annie. She could upgrade from a regular ham and cheese croissant into a fancy breakfast. What a new taste for them.“Wow, delicious!” Exclaimed Jeanne after having her first bite.They then had a perfect breakfast.Since it was Jeanne's day off, she busies herself with helping Annie and Ma.

The next day, officially the first day Jeanne went to the office. The nervousness was almost the same as last week when she had been to Aaron's vineyard.However, the nervousness this time doubled as she would face her new colleagues. And above all, how would she face Aaron with their current personal issues.Oh, Aaron… She did not know how to react later. Her table was inside his room. How her life was going to be. Deep inside, she felt that she should get over it and forgive Aaron but seeing Aaron as such with Maria really put Jeanne in the same situation as Andy and Sara.“Argh!” Jeanne felt miserable thinking about that moment.Jeanne quickly got ready and had breakfast like usual. Today was simple. Toasted bread with strawberry jam.
