I'll Teach You, Marianne.

The meeting schedule that was supposed to be only one hour turned into two hours, the question and answer session with Anne became very long. The reason was that Leon kept asking Anne, even though Anne's explanation was very clear when she made her previous presentation.

"Okay, I'm very satisfied with today's meeting. I hope this project will start soon. The design provided by Anne is very clear and quite easy to understand. Moreover, she has completed 80% of the visual images of the main characters in the film that we will produce in a short time. It's almost time, I ask the other team to do their job quickly. 

Keep in mind that I don't want any mistakes in the making of this film because this film will be shown in all theaters in the world. This film also raised a theme that is quite heavy because it uses the theme of the life struggle of a small child who never gives up even when he has to face so many struggles in his life. Therefore, I don't want any mistakes in terms of visuals, audio, image editing, sound, and other effects. I hope everyone will give the best they can and deliver maximum results," Leon said at length during a question and answer session with Anne and her team.

"Yes, Sir, we understand," answered all meeting participants in unison, except for Anne who was taking a drink. She was so thirsty after talking for almost two hours. She felt like her throat was burning.

Not long after, the meeting participants left the meeting room one by one. Anne, who was tidying up her laptop, was seen with Edward, who was also tidying up his files. Edward didn't have much interest in this meeting, but he still joined after being called by Leon directly.

"Good luck, Anne. This will take a lot of work," said Edward slowly, encouraging Anne.

"Yes, the real work is in sight," Anne answered slowly with a smile.

"Well, let's get back to work again, the sooner we start working, the sooner it will be finished. Fighting Anne!!" Added Edward again to give support and encouragement to Anne when they left the meeting room.

Anne nodded her head in response to Edward's words with a slightly forced smile. Since there was still a lot of work to be done, Edward went straight to the music editing room following his team members. Anne, who was very tired today, chose to go to the pantry for another drink.

Turned out that talking and being in the same room with Leon for almost two hours had ruined her mood. Leon was like a parasite that sucked in all his energy, so she needed a little space to be away from Leon right now. But the goddess of luck had not sided with Anne. When she just arrived at the pantry, Leon was already there and was seen talking to another manager.

Seeing Leon in the pantry made Anne finally choose to go back to her room, as Edward had said before that the sooner she did her work, the sooner she finished. That way she could go home faster and stay away from Leon.

When Anne was continuing her work, suddenly Leon was standing in front of the door with two glasses of iced coffee.

"May I come in, Anne?" Leon said quietly, asking Anne's permission.

"Sure, come in."

With a big smile Leon stepped into Anne's room, he then put a glass of iced coffee in front of Anne.

"This is for you, you'll feel much better," Leon said softly with a smile.

"You don't have to do something like this, Sir..."

"Please… Anne… don't call me 'Sir'. Just call me by name, I feel uncomfortable when you call me 'Sir'. Earlier in the meeting room I have heard you called me that way a lot and I don't want to hear you call me 'Sir' anymore," Leon cut Anne's words quickly, he felt uncomfortable being called Mr. or Sir by Anne because that title made him feel more distant from Anne.

Hearing Leon's words managed to make Anne smile. "I'm your subordinate, Sir. So it's only natural for me to call you that way. It will be very rude for me if I call you by your name when I'm only a regular staff member in your office. I'm also just an intern from a campus who works with this company, so it feels very strange if I say your name right away," answered Anne quickly.

"That's not what I meant, Anne, I mean that if we're alone, you can..."

Drrrtt

Drrrtt

The cell phone in Leon's pocket vibrated quite loudly but he didn't want to pick it up and it was enough to annoy Anne a little.

"You can pick up your phone, Sir. Who knows it's an important call," said Anne slowly with a friendly smile.

Because his cell phone kept vibrating quite loudly, Leon couldn't help but pick it up immediately. He couldn't bear to see Anne covering her right ear with her fingers because she was disturbed by the sound of the cell phone vibrating in his pocket. Leon's face changed drastically when he saw his cell phone screen showing Steffi's name appearing as the caller. Without saying anything else, Leon left Anne's room quickly. He walked into his room and closed the door so hard that it startled some of the staff who were working in the room.

Anne, who was in her room, could hear the sound of the door being slammed by Leon. However, Anne was only silent and pretended not to be aware of it. Her current goal was to get all her work done quickly, she was tired of being in the same office as Leon and kept seeing him for hours on end.

"Didn't I tell you earlier, Steffi? Never disturb me again when I'm working. Don't you have ears? Are you deaf? So you don't care about my warnings, right? Well if that's what you want, I'll deactivate all your credit cards right now," Leon spoke emotionally on the phone while yelling at Steffi, who was calling him again.

"No… honey… it's not like that. I didn't mean to... hello, honey... hello..." Steffi, who was in the diamond shop, panicked when Leon hung up the call.

Steffi was in a luxury jewelry store that sold several types of jewelry from sapphire, diamond, and several other rare stones that were extraordinarily beautiful and luxurious. She had been eyeing one of the rare sapphire ring collections called padparadscha sapphire which was available in the shop for two hours before the shop opened. She was currently confused about which one to buy, that was why she contacted Leon for advice. However, she got a bad reply from her husband.

While she was confused because her call was turned off by Leon, the jewelry store employee came to report that the credit card she gave could no longer be used. Steffi, who wanted padparadscha sapphire since it was one of the most beautiful and rarest gemstones in the world, was very surprised. She couldn't believe that she won't be able to buy the rare sapphire today. The sapphire always had a less symmetrical cut. The name of this sapphire came from the name of the color of the lotus flower in Sanskrit, which was a mixture of pink and orange. Steffi, who originally wanted to ask Leon's opinion, now couldn't do anything because Leon had completely canceled all her credit cards.

Feeling embarrassed, Steffi finally canceled her intention to buy the rare sapphire, she then looked for a taxi to go to her husband's office to ask for an explanation why her credit card was canceled and she couldn't buy the luxury jewelry.

"You have to pay dearly for what happened to me, Leon. I'm embarrassed. You've embarrassed me in front of my socialite friends... arrrgghh… Leon, I hate you!!!!" Steffi went crazy in a taxi while on her way to Ganke Inc Production, her husband's office.
