Chapter 282 – Nice Vs Pretending To Be Nice Women

While all the female staffs at Ganke Inc. Production were excited by the arrival of two handsome single CEOs from two big companies, Anne was the only one who looked uneasy. She seemed to be unfocused, that she repeatedly made some very silly mistakes. 

"Are you okay, Anne?" Edward asked Anne again for the umpteenth time when Anne was in the editor's room with him.

"I'm fine, Edward, just feeling a little hot. Is there a problem with the air conditioning in this room? Why is it so hot since earlier?" Anne answered Edward's question by making a statement that made everyone confused because the air conditioner in the editor's room was the coldest air conditioner, considering the many computers and electronic equipment in the room, especially now that it was winter, which automatically shouldn't be as hot as usual. 

Anne's words confused Edward. He even looked at the other staffs who were just as confused as him.

"You'd better rest first, looks like you're too tired, Anne," Edward said quietly.

Anne glared at Edward. "Should I? Is it okay if I stay?" she asked expressionlessly.

Edward nodded his head, as did the rest of the editorial staff. They also had the same thoughts as Edward. They felt sorry for Anne and asked her to rest considering how pale Anne's face was now. 

Edward placed the paper he was holding on the table and gently patted Anne's shoulder. "Go and have some rest, leave the rest to me. After all, this is only the final stage of correction which is my job, so you can calm down."

"Thanks, Edward, I owe you a lot," replied Anne curtly.

"What debt? Okay, now go."

Without being told twice, Anne then tidied up her laptop which had been dead for a long time and carried it out of the editor's room. But bad luck didn't seem to want to let Anne go. Because just as she was about to leave, Leon and his 2 guests, whom Anne really wanted to avoid, had just come out of the meeting room and was seen walking towards the editor's room right where Anne had just left. 

"Ah, there she is, the lady who just came out of the editor's room is one of the people who contributed the most in making this animated film. She is the head of illustration that organizes all the images related to the clothes and accessories used by the characters in the film. in movies." Leon's voice sounded very loud as he spoke to Jack and Aaron as they headed towards Anne who had just come out of the editor's room. 

Even though Anne and the three men were now 5 meters apart, Anne already felt very tight. Seeing Aaron smiled and didn't stop looking at her made Anne feel very guilty because for the past few days she had neglected this friendly man. Not to mention, with Jack's meaningful gaze on her pierced deep into her heart. Seeing Jack made Anne aware of the the ring she had made into a pendant. The ring that Jack put on her finger last night when they were at the Naze tower, Anne's face immediately turned pale. She remembered Jack's threat that she would not be able to get out of Jack's bed if she removed the ring. While Anne was struggling with the dilemma and confusion about what steps she should take at the moment, Edward suddenly came out of the editor's room.

"Ah yes Edward, there are some important things we need to talk about again. Can we come in early in the morning? This is very important, Edward," said Anne spontaneously.

Edward, who was confused by Anne's words, was silent for a while, but he finally came to his senses and again took Anne back into the dark atmosphere of the editor's room.

"Please lock the door. I don't want anyone to disturb us, Edward. We have to focus," said Anne to Edward who had just closed the door.

"Lock the door? Why?" Edward asked confused.

"Do it!!!" Anne screamed in a loud voice that shocked everyone in the editor's room. 

"Okay … okay, calm down, Anne," Edward stammered. He finally obeyed Anne's orders to lock the editor's room. 

After seeing Edward really locked the door of the editor's room, Anne then hurriedly sat down in the chair she had previously sat on without saying anything and immediately focused on some of the papers that were still on the table. Three senior editors, who were confused by Anne's attitude, looked at Edward, trying to find an answer from Edward, but Edward, who was confused, could only shake his head slowly with narrowed eyes which indicated that he didn't know what was going on with Anne at the moment.

After seeing Edward's body language, finally everyone decided to return to focus on the work that was still not finished, as well as Anne, who immediately looked at the monitor screen of one of the editors who was working. Edward was again busy at work. He had to cancel his intention to make coffee because of Anne. As a result, currently in the editor's room, everyone was busy doing their own work, as well as Anne, who was very focused on her task while praying, hoping that Jack and Aaron would soon leave Ganke Inc. Production. She still didn't understand how the three men could be together in one place which was her current workplace. Anne was worried that Jack would reveal their current relationship. Because if that happened then Anne's plan would fail, she wouldn't be able to torture Leon anymore with his feelings. In addition, Anne was worried that if Jack revealed their relationship, Aaron and Leon would be hostile to him and Anne didn't want that to happen. 

Jack smiled when he saw Anne was nervous. He was happy that he had managed to surprise Anne. But on the other hand, he was very upset when he met Aaron, the man who became his rival to get Anne some time ago, even though he had managed to have Anne, although not completely. But at least, he was quite happy with the progress of his relationship with Anne at the moment, which was why he looked a little arrogant towards Aaron. 

Leon, who didn't know that his two new business partners were his rivals to get Anne, looked very happy. What Leon had in mind right now was that he would benefit greatly from the inclusion of two large companies into his company as co-workers. Leon excitedly took Aaron and Jack around some of his staff's work studios, but when he stopped in front of the editor's room where Anne had previously entered, Leon immediately forbade his two new business partners to enter.

"The people who are working in this room need very high concentration, so it's better we don't disturb them, because usually when they work like this, they will all be fiercer than tigers. So we better find another studio for you to visit. I'm sure both of you will be happy when I take you to another room," Leon said jokingly while smiling at Jack and Aaron who were staring at the editor's room where Anne was.

"Okay, let's take a look at the other studios," Aaron answered quickly. 

"If I may ask is there any …"

"Mr Connery, Mr Muller!!!" Suddenly there was a loud scream from Isabel and Gabriella who had just returned from the animation room. 

The two girls immediately screamed when they saw the two handsome CEOs who had visited the UAL campus a few months ago. Carrying a pile of important documents, the two girls approached Jack and Aaron without hesitation. They were very different from Anne, who actually tried to avoid them. From inside the editor's room, Edward shook his head slowly seeing Isabel and Gabriella's behavior, who shamelessly continued to follow Jack and Aaron's footsteps who were walking to another room. Because there was still a lot of work, Edward chose to refocus. Moreover, there was Anne in the editor's room at this time.
