I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Anne went to work to Leon's office using public transportation. She took it because she refused to be accompanied by Jack, who insisted on dropping her off. Anne reasoned that she wanted to try out taking public transportation on her first day of work. If taking public transportation was tiring, she would bring her own car the next day. Although actually what Anne said to Jack was not entirely true, she refused to be escorted by Jack because she did not want to make Leon recognize Jack. Because Anne remembered that Leon and Jack had met on campus during a show that was initiated by Professor Gilbert in order to seek relations from the businessmen he invited, that was why Anne refused to be escorted by Jack. 

Anne did that so as not to destroy the plans she had made and did not want Leon to know that she was currently close to another man. In her opinion, it was not the time for Leon to know that she already had a special friend. Anne wanted to play with Leon first, before she eventually showed who the man she was currently close to was. She knew that currently Leon was so infatuated with her and she decided to take advantage of it. She once read an article that said that a man who was infatuated with a woman would do anything for her. And Anne wanted to see Leon did that. She really had prepared everything, including a little surprise for Steffi. 

After riding the bus for twenty minutes, Anne finally arrived at Leon's office. She took a deep breath when she arrived in front of her ex-husband's office, which she never imagined would happen. When she divorced Leon two years ago Anne hoped not to see her ex-husband again. But it turned out that fate said otherwise. She was still reunited with her ex-husband and her best friend who had stabbed her in the back. Because of that, she felt very disturbed by Leon's arrival and it made her really upset for several days because she met these people who had wounded her heart. 

"Okay, Anne. Now is the time. You've reached here, there's no other way back but to face it. You can do it, Anne, it's just a trivial thing. You've been through things that hurt more than this, so you don't have to worry. I'm sure you'll get through it well, Marianne, keep your spirit up!" Anne mumbled softly as she was about to step on the steps that would lead her into the luxurious office of Ganke Inc. Production. 

Because Anne was an intern, she didn't have an ID card to enter the office of the production house which focused on animated films, so that a security guard at the front restrained her from going in first. When Anne was stopped, suddenly Edward came. Just like Anne, he was also detained at the entrance because he did not have an ID card. As a result, the two students from the University of the Arts London were standing next to the security desk, where the guard was busy calling to confirm with the human resources department to ensure that the two students he was holding were really interns recruited by the company. 

"Why is it so annoying? Aren't we the ones who were recruited by them? Then why are we being detained like this?" Edward snarled in annoyance with a voice that was quite loud, so the security guard who was talking to an employee from the human resources department glanced at him, who was standing next to Anne. 

Anne pursed her lips at Edward's grumbling words. "It's the procedure, Edward, you don't have to be surprised," she said quietly, trying to calm Edward down. 

"I know, but this is weird, Anne," Edward replied again. He felt his self-esteem was underestimated by a security guard who he considered was not at his level, being recruited as a music director at Ganke Inc. Production.

Anne patted Edward's arm twice, intending to calm Edward who was upset. Anne knew who Edward was, so she could understand that Edward was angry at the moment. Without Anne and Edward realizing it, apparently Leon saw clearly what Anne had done to Edward. Instantly, his anger exploded. Leon, who intended to pick up Anne because he couldn't wait, suddenly saw a scene he didn't expect. Without thinking, Leon stepped closer to Anne and Edward. When it was close to where Anne was, suddenly Leon threw a punch at the security guard who had previously detained Anne and Edward. The security guard who was talking to the employee from the human resources department immediately stumbled down because he did not expect to receive such a blow. Anne, who was whispering to Edward, was shocked when she saw that the security guard had fallen on the floor. She was even more shocked when she saw the person who caused the security guard to fall.

"What are you doing? Why are you so incompetent huh?! Why did you let these two interns stand here? They should both be in the trainee room by now to meet the manager of the human resources department," Leon shouted loudly at the security guard who was still sitting on the floor.

"Sir, Mr. Leon," suddenly a woman's voice, which was quite loud, came from the direction of the elevator, as the woman was running towards where Leon was currently standing with his hands on his hips in front of the security guard who was sitting on the floor because he hit him in the stomach a while ago. 

Hearing his name was called, Leon immediately turned and glared at the woman who had called him. 

"Sorry sir, it's my fault. I forgot to tell the security guard about the arrival of two students of the University of the Arts London today, Sir. So he detained these two students here," said Priscilla, the manager of the human resources department regretfully. She felt guilty that the security guard was hit by Leon.

"So you mean these two students weren't allowed in because of your carelessness? That's what you mean, Priscilla? How long have you worked as a manager in the human resources department? Why did you make such a stupid mistake, Cilla? And you said you have more than fifteen years experience in this field?" Leon asked Priscilla, the manager of the human resource department that he had recruited a few weeks ago. 

Being scolded in public like that because of her recklessness made Priscilla not dare to look at Leon. She lowered her head while playing with her joined fingers regretfully. She cursed her stupidity for forgetting to tell the security guard about the news of Anne and Edward's arrival today. 

Anne was uncomfortable to see Leon so angry this morning. She also felt sorry for the security guard who had become a victim for other people's mistakes. Anne slowly walked over to the security guard who was sitting on the floor. She helped him to stand up. Leon, who was facing Priscilla, accidentally saw what Anne did. His anger disappeared when he saw what Anne had done to the security he had punched earlier. Seeing Anne's kindness made him melt. 

"Are you okay, sir?" asked Anne quietly to the security guard who was already standing in front of her.

"I'm fine, Miss, thank you," replied the security guard in a barely audible voice.

"Thank goodness..."

"What's your name?" Leon suddenly cut Anne's words. He asked the name of the security guard he had hit. 

"Jody, Sir," answered the security guard who claimed his name was Jody quickly.

"I see. Go to the human resource department office with Priscilla. Ask the Finance department for money for your treatment today. I'm sorry for hitting you earlier. I really don't like it when someone creates a bad image for the company, that's why I'm sorry. I thought you were holding these two students into my office on purpose, but actually it's not your fault. It's the fault of a manager who should handle her work well," Leon said quickly and sarcastically at Priscilla.

"I'm fine, Sir, I don't need treatment, I can..."

"Go to the clinic to treat your stomach and today I'll give you a day off, but tomorrow you have to work better than today. I'm a person who doesn't like to be argued, Jody, so do as I order before I change my mind and make you regret it," Leon quickly cut off Jody's words.

Hearing Leon's words, Priscilla then asked Jody to go to her office. She didn't want to make her boss angry with her again. Therefore, she immediately acted quickly. Seeing Priscilla left with the security that he had punched, Leon smiled with satisfaction.

"Sorry for the scene that you shouldn't have seen this early on your first day working at my company. Well then, I'll handle it all today. Now follow me to the training room, before I show you each of your office and your desk," Leon said with dignity. He could immediately master the atmosphere quickly.

"It's okya, sir, this kind of thing does happen sometimes. We understand it, don't we, Anne?"

"Ah y-yes, we understand it, Sir." Anne stuttered in response to Edward's words.

Leon smiled at Edward and Anne's words. "Well then you two come with me."

Edward and Anne nodded their heads and at the same time doing Leon's words. The two of them then walked after Leon to the elevator. Leon held the elevator door and motioned for Edward and Anne to enter first. When she passed in front of him, his heart was beating fast. The smell of perfume from Anne's body made him almost crazy.

"You will be mine, Marianne. The first day you set foot in my office then I will make sure you will not be able to escape from me," Leon spoke to himself when he was in the elevator with Edward and Anne. His smile broke when he saw Anne who was straightening her hair, which was let loose today. "You're so beautiful with hair this short, Marianne."
