Chapter 299 – Shocking News
Leon almost jumped from his chair when he saw the Anne he missed coming out of the elevator and made Wayne Scott, his right-hand man confused, because at this time the two of them were discussing important matters in front of Leon's room.
"That's my wife, Wayne. The real Mrs. Ganke has just arrived, the one you have to keep an eye on from now on," Leon said without pause, pointing at Anne who had just entered her room.
Wayne Scott, who had been told about Anne, immediately narrowed his eyes, trying to get a better look at Anne.
"You have to keep an eye on her and report everything she does from getting out of bed to going to bed again," Leon added again. His smile broke when he found out that Anne had started work again.
"I understand, Sir. I will start doing everything and for that I need to continue to be near Mrs. Ganke in the next few days," Wayne answered quickly. He called Anne as Mrs. Ganke on Leon's orders because Leon already considered Steffi not as his wife anymore. That woman would already be dumped by Leon in the next few days.
Leon made an okay symbol in response to Wayne's words. While working with him, Wayne never disappointed him with everything that he ordered him to do. That was why Leon entrusted everything to Wayne without the slightest hesitation. Because working hours had started, Leon then called his important staff for a meeting to discuss the development of the animated film that he was about to launch. All the teams involved were invited to a meeting, including Anne who had just arrived. Without any suspicion, Anne then rushed to the meeting room when she was called by one of the female staff who was under her supervision.
When everyone Leon invited was in the meeting room, Wayne immediately started to move, he entered Anne's study, installing an illegal spy program on the laptop that Anne always carried. At first, he wanted to install a spying device on Anne's cell phone. But he couldn't do that because Anne brought her cell phone to the meeting room. Because the wiretapping device that Wayne had was so powerful, it didn't take long for the illegal program to lodge in Anne's laptop. As his first mission was successful, Wayne rushed out of Anne's room. He then acted as if he had done nothing. As a former detective, it was not difficult for Wayne Scott to do all this. With firm steps, he then walked towards the meeting room. This time he would be introduced by Leon to everyone. The earpiece that was attached to his left ear allowed him to hear all of Leon's words in the meeting room. Therefore, he was now walking towards the room. And sure enough, when he just stepped into the meeting room, Leon just said his name.
Suddenly, loud applause greeted his arrival. Everyone thought Wayne had been prepared at the door so he could go straight into the meeting room as soon as Leon called his name.
"Please introduce yourself, Wayne," Leon said quietly as everyone in the meeting room calmed down.
"First of all, I want to thank all my co-workers who have warmly welcomed me like this. Honestly, I didn't expect to get such a great welcome. My name is Wayne Scott, you can call me Wayne. In this company, I will fill the position as Mr. Leon's personal assistant, so in the future, I will need the help of all of my co-workers," Wayne said politely with a big smile.
"Welcome, Wayne."
"Welcome to the team, Wayne."
"If you need help, don't hesitate to call me, Wayne."
"Yes, Wayne, our room is next to this meeting room."
"Woooo …."
Everyone in the meeting room immediately cheered Isabel and Gabriella, who had given the code to Wayne. The two girls shamelessly teased Wayne who had introduced himself as an assistant to Leonardo Ganke, which means Wayne's position in the company was quite important, which was why the rest of the staff reacted immediately, especially the female staff who were annoyed at the two new interns. Only Anne didn't give any reaction to Wayne's introduction, even when everyone bullied Isabel and Gabriella a while ago, only Anne still didn't change her expression or sitting position. She was still sitting calmly and upright, while looking at the pile of papers in front of her. Edward, who was sitting right in front of Anne, smiled faintly at Anne's attitude. Likewise with Leon, he was increasingly made curious by Anne about her cold attitude. The desire to conquer Anne again was burning inside Leon.
After a brief introduction with Wayne Scott, Leonardo Ganke's personal assistant, the meeting was finally resumed. Because yesterday Anne did not come to work, the meeting started with a little discussion of yesterday's problems. Anne then listened very seriously. Although her headache was still not completely healed, but Anne was trying to understand word for word spoken by one of the editors who explained the progress of the film. Edward, who was very understanding, had given Anne a summary of the results of yesterday's meeting before the meeting started, so that Anne was not left out to the progress of yesterday's meeting. Because she wanted to focus on her work, Anne automatically sent a message to Jack, who tried to contact her during a meeting. Anne didn't want to cause trouble during the meeting, so she decided not to take calls from Jack.
"Okay, since everything has been discussed, I hope we can all work even harder, so that this film can run according to our expectations," said Tony, one of the senior editors who had just made a presentation.
"Yes," said everyone in the meeting room at the same time.
Not long after the meeting ended, one by one the staff came over to Wayne to get acquainted personally. Isabel and Gabriella were the first, of course, while Anne, who was still not very fit, chose to leave the meeting room, as being in a room full of people made her uncomfortable. Leon, who was standing next to Wayne, narrowed his eyes when he saw Anne leave. He had hoped that Anne would come to him like the others.
"Madam is different, sir, you are lucky to have her," Wayne whispered to Leon. He seemed to know what Leon was thinking at the moment.
"Yes, Wayne, and I realized it too late, that's why now you have to help me get my wife back to me," Leon said quietly using German. While being with his closest people, Leon often used his mother tongue.
When Anne just came out of the meeting room, she was surprised by the presence of Aaron and Daniel who were already sitting in the waiting room next to the meeting room.
"Anne," said Aaron excitedly when he saw Anne was standing in front of him.
"Hello sir, good morning." Anne answered Aaron's greeting in a formal language.
"Did you change your cell phone number, Anne? Why didn't you respond to any of my messages and calls…"
Drrt
The phone that Anne was holding suddenly vibrated. Anne immediately received the incoming call, causing Aaron to stop speaking.
"What?!! Okay, okay, wait for me. I will come."
"What's wrong, Anne?" Aaron asked curiously when he saw the change in Anne's facial expression.
Anne walked briskly towards her room past Aaron and Daniel without speaking, a look of concern evident on her face at this point. Because she had not unpacked her bag, Anne quickly left her study, without speaking, Anne went straight to the elevator with her hands busy with her cell phone. Anne ignored Aaron's call.
"I'm in the elevator dear, don't panic and calm down. I'll come to your place now," said Anne quietly while in the elevator before the connection was cut off.
