I'll Teach You, Marianne.

< Muller Finance International >

Bam!

The piles of documents that were on the work desk in a room that was quite spacious were now scattered on the floor. The owner of the room seemed to be standing with her hands clenched on the table. She was still annoyed and not satisfied with venting her anger even after messing up her now messy desk.

"Fuck...! Why did that woman appear again? Wasn't that woman already divorced by Jack three years ago," said Giselle, the owner of the messy room, full of emotion.

Her eyes were reddened with overflowing anger that she could no longer contained. This morning, she had been surprised by Christian's appearance and this afternoon she was again surprised by the arrival of Anne, Jack's legal wife. When she saw Anne came out of the elevator, Giselle didn't like her anymore. Even then she didn't know that the woman she was looking at was Anne. Her smile, her body shape and even Anne's voice were now deeply imprinted in Giselle's memory.

"Damn woman! How dare she return to Jack, who almost fell into my arms," ​​Giselle cursed again. This was the first time Giselle instantly felt inferior to a woman.

When she saw Anne for the first time, Giselle froze because she couldn't believe that a beautiful woman had suddenly appeared in the office, until finally her shock was dispelled when Christian shouted and called the woman who had just arrived as Mommy. Giselle immediately realized that the woman she once admired was a woman who had given birth to a handsome child who was very similar to Jack, the man she had been eyeing for the past three years. The man who made her willing to leave her own company and work at Muller Finance International to be Jack's personal secretary.

Even though Giselle was currently standing, she could still stare at her computer screen which displayed the photos of Jack and Anne's wedding in Luxembourg. After Anne wanted to return to him, Jack then asked Erick to publish his wedding photos with Anne to the internet. Even though at that time Jack was still with Alan's memory, his marriage with Anne was still legal in the eyes of the law and religion. Because previously he had made a sacred promise to Anne at York Minster before the incident in the English Channel occurred. Even photos of when Anne had just given birth to Christian were also shared by Erick. This was deliberately done by Jack so that everyone would know that he already had a son, an heir who would bear his last name.

Giselle's hazel eyes stared at the photo of Anne posing with the late Mr. David Clarke, Jack's grandfather. "You cheap woman, I'm sure you must have tempted Grandpa David into marrying Jack. I'm pretty sure you sold your body to Grandpa David before my poor Jack ended up marrying you, you damn fox woman."

"Aaaarrgggghhh shit!!!"

Giselle shouted again loudly in her tightly closed room. Luckily, currently on the 40th floor there was not a single staff left, because at the moment, everyone was going to have lunch except for Giselle, who was venting her annoyance. Because of that, Giselle was able to scream loudly and let out all her emotions.

Giselle, who was Jack's childhood friend, agreed to work at Muller Finance International after she found out that Jack had separated from his wife and at that time Giselle was very sure that Jack would divorce his wife, so she decided to accept Jack's offer to work at Muller Finance International. Three years ago, Giselle's decision was actually opposed by her parents, because at that time her family's company, which was engaged in organic cosmetics, was growing rapidly. However, because Giselle insisted on wanting to be close to Jack, she finally ignored her parents' prohibition until now, because when she saw Anne's reappearance, Giselle was very angry. Her dream of becoming Mrs. Clarke was shattered because of the woman named Marianne.

Drrrttt...Drrrttt....

A vibration on the table emanating from her pink smart phone finally made Giselle wake up from her thoughts. Without waiting long, the beautiful girl reached for her phone. Her smile was bright when she saw the name that was currently appearing on the screen of his cell phone.

"Yes Mom..."

"See...what did I tell you? That Jackson you are proud of will definitely return to his wife. Especially now that they already have a son who already uses Clarke's name as his last name, so now what do you get, Giselle? Nothing, right?! Aren't you a smart girl, but why are you so stupid?! I didn't give birth to you to be a loser, Giselle. Look at your sister, Gigi, she managed to become the wife of a rich oil businessman from Dubai, while you're still trapped in unrequited love with Jackson, you really are a fool, Giselle," cursed a woman named Esme, who was none other than Giselle's mother, with anger.

"We are waiting for your return tonight, Giselle, if you don't come home tonight, then don't even consider us as your parents. Don't blame us if your name is crossed out as one of our heirs." Brandon Allen, Giselle's biological father, in a tone no less harsh than his wife, threatened their youngest daughter, Giselle.

"But I... "

Beep!

Before Giselle had time to answer her parents' words, the phone call was cut off, even when Giselle tried to call back her mother's number was not active. It was really like Giselle had been hit by bad luck many times today, starting with Christian the little child she hated, Anne, and now her parents.

With limp body, Giselle sat in her chair roughly. Her beautiful hair that used to be beautifully styled was now out of shape. Giselle was really frustrated. The sacrifices she had made so far had been in vain and all because of a woman named Marianne who was not on her level. From what she knew, Anne did not graduate from college. The woman was even an orphan who must have been poor, unlike herself who was a Harvard graduate and came from a prominent Swiss family. Losing to an ordinary woman really dealt a big blow for Giselle Allen.

"I'm Giselle Allen. I'm much smarter and more powerful than that stupid Sophia Higgins. I'll prove that I can snatch Jack from the hands of the fox woman named Anne who is so beautiful, you'll see. Don't call me Giselle Allen if I can't get anything what I want," Giselle said softly with tightly clenched hands.

Giselle slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down before leaving the room. Giselle innocently pressed one of the buttons on her phone to call the office girl to come to her room.

"Help me tidy up these files. Everything must be tidy before lunch time is over. I have to go now to see a client, do you understand, Biel?!" said Giselle arrogantly giving orders to an office girl named Abigail, who she briefly became Biel, because according to Giselle the name Abigail was too beautiful for an office girl.

"Yes ma'am, I understand."

"Good, good job. Remember Biel, there is CCTV in this room so don't try anything. I can monitor you from the meeting place," added Giselle again, threatening Abigail the office girl.

"I dare not, Miss. I need this job."

Giselle chuckled. She then sprayed perfume in the air. "I know, that's why you have to do a good job. You remember who's the most powerful in this office, don't you?"

The poor office girl nodded her head. She started to work on tidying up the documents that were scattered on the floor. Even the middle-aged woman had to endure the pain when her hand which was reaching for a document under Giselle's feet was stepped on by Giselle. Seeing the pained moans of the office girl, Giselle smiled with satisfaction. She then immediately left her room, leaving behind a woman who was fighting for her family without any guilt.
