Chapter 213 - Rumors In The Office
Chapter 213 – Rumors In The Office
Anne, who still couldn't believe that her office was so pretty and beautiful, sat at her desk. Leon repeatedly said that what Anne had was a natural thing because she was the head of the visual fashion department.
"Hope you like your room, Miss Marianne…"
"Anne, call me Anne. No frills, Miss or with my full name."Anne quickly cut Leon's words. She felt uncomfortable being called Miss by Leon.
"Okay, I'll call you Anne. Well then, have a good job and don't hesitate if you need anything, just tell me," Leon replied with a smile.
"Ready sir, I understand."
Leon smiled at Anne's words. Because this morning he had a weekly meeting with the managers involved in this big project, Leon finally left Anne. He went to his office which was not far from Anne's room. When Leon left, several employees were whispering to each other. They thought the well-decorated room was for the new secretary as rumors circulated, but it turned out that the room was made for an intern. This created jealousy among the employees. They thought that Anne's new room was too much for an intern.
Anne, who had just created a Skype account as a means of communication with all the staff in the office, felt a strong sense of coldness from the front of her room. She had a bad feeling about the facilities she received. However, because Anne had other bigger goals to do, she finally tried to get rid of all her bad thoughts and chose to concentrate on work.

"It's great! Interns have got such luxurious facilities."
"Yeah you're right, only someone with great connections can get such luxurious facilities for an apprentice."
"Don't be surprised, we don't live in prehistoric times. It's no secret that things like that happen a lot nowadays. Many beautiful girls are willing to do anything out there to get what they want, including approaching a handsome CEO who is rich and married."
"Oh yeah you're right hahaha! Come on, let's get back to work. We have to work with passion, friends, we still have a long way to go to get this luxurious facility."
Anne, who was sitting at her desk, could hear very clearly the subtle insinuations of her seniors who were jealous of the facilities she got. Actually, Anne had expected to get into trouble like this. But she didn't expect to be attacked this quickly.
"Huff be patience, Anne, you can do it," Anne was talking to herself, trying to encourage herself. She then continued with her work.
Tring!
There was an incoming notification on Skype that Anne had just made. Without waiting, she immediately opened this incoming message and was surprised to see Leonardo Ganke's name appeared as the first person to ask for friendship in the chat application.
"Hi Anne, it's me. Passionate about work, I know you can definitely hold this position. You are the chosen student of Professor Gilbert. I believe Professor Gilbert doesn't recommend his students to work in my office randomly, that's why I really believe you can do all of this. I'm currently in a meeting with Edward and the others. I just sent you a file. In that file there are some recommended sample images that you can take for this project, if your choice is completed, please come to my office and we will discuss it directly."
Anne read word by word what Leon had just sent her.
"I didn't ask what you were doing, Leon, so you don't have to tell me what you're doing right now." Anne snorted in annoyance after reading the message Leon sent.
Because she didn't want to delay her work, Anne opened the file from Leon. After opening Leon's file, Anne started working. She sorted through the pictures on her laptop screen seriously. She already knew that the animated film she was currently working on had the theme of the struggle of a child who lived in a poor area in a developed country. Therefore, Anne must be really careful in choosing the picture she would take. She couldn't be wrong in choosing a costume. Because if that happened, it would damage the quality of the film itself, especially since this film would be marketed to the whole world. A pretty heavy burden was now on Anne's shoulders.
"Okay, all the songs that we will include in this film will be chosen by Mr. Edward Cole as the music director in this new project. So I hope you all work well together for the smooth running of this film. Remember I Leonardo Ganke is a person who does not like to hear a failure, no matter how small. So make sure you do this as well as possible, I want this new film to be as successful as the other films I've published in Germany. Do you all understand?" Leon asked with quite a loud voice when he was about to close the meeting that had lasted for three hours.
"Understood, Sir," answered about fifteen people in the meeting room in unison.
Leon smiled at the answers of all his employees. "Good, then we will end this meeting. And Edward, will you come to my room?"
"Yes Sir," Edward answered quickly.
After ending the meeting, Leon then left the meeting room with Edward. As soon as Edward and the boss left, the female employees who attended the meeting let out a small scream. They did not expect that the new music director to be so handsome. Edward Cole had managed to spread his charm in the office even though this was his first day on the job.
When Edward walked behind Leon towards Leon's room, several employees seemed to be whispering to each other. They pointed at Edward who was passing before their eyes. Edward's handsome face had really hypnotized the female workers who had been gossiping about Anne.
"I heard he is also an intern from the University of the Arts London who was recruited directly by Mr. Leon, just like our new visual fashion manager," said a blonde haired girl commenting on Edward who had just entered Leon's room.
"Really? He's also an intern?" asked another woman who wore glasses. She couldn't believe that Edward was still a student, which meant he was still very young for her who was already in her late twenties.
"Yeah, that's what I heard from our HRD manager, Priscilla. Earlier when I was drinking, she was talking to some other staff and said that there are two new interns in our office, a boy and a girl and they are both students chosen from the best art college in London. So it's no wonder that they are now being recruited by Mr. Leon and filling important positions in our office, because from what I heard, their achievements on campus are extraordinary," replied the blonde-haired girl again.
"Ah, how good is her achievement? If she doesn't have inside connections, she definitely won't be able to enter this office, especially like that woman who gets a private office. Look at us? We're older workers than her, but look, we don't get luxurious facilities, right?" said a woman who had previously sneered at Anne in a voice loud enough to be heard into Anne's room, which was not closed.
Anne, who was using wireless earphones, did not hear the commotion in front of her room. She was still focused on doing her first task from Leon. Even the incoming message from Jack had not been bothered by Anne since earlier. What was on her mind right now was to complete her task so as not to communicate with Leon again.
