Chapter 117 - One Goal

The smile from Anne\'s face disappeared instantly when she saw Leon again. Her mood that had been messy since morning was even more messed up when she saw Leon.

"Aren\'t you Mr. ..."

"Leonardo Ganke," Leon replied briefly, interrupting Linda\'s words.

"Ah yes, you are Mr. Leonardo Ganke. You were one of the guests who attended the show a few days ago and the person who sponsored the holiday to Ireland yesterday, weren\'t you?" said Linda excitedly.

"Yes, that\'s me. So how was the holiday? Was it memorable?" Leon asked Linda softly.

"It must be impressive, Sir, for those who went there, but not for Anne and me, because neither of us were on holiday there," said Linda in a tone full of disappointment.

"Hush, Linda," Anne whispered softly asking Linda to stop talking so much.

"Why?" Linda asked without guilt.

Anne took a deep breath hearing Linda\'s answer. She quickly grabbed Linda\'s hand and took several steps away from Leon. She didn\'t want Leon to hear her words.

"Stop talking to strangers too much," said Anne quietly.

"He is not a stranger, Anne, he is one of the important people who work with our campus. Do you know that his animation company is very famous in Berlin? Just imagine if you could come in and work with that company, we would have a lot of money, Anne," said Linda without pause.

"Geez it\'s so difficult to talk to you. Just shut your mouth and don\'t talk anymore," said Anne curtly as she closed Linda\'s mouth, who was still talking.

Seeing what Anne was doing made Leon smile without realizing it. He really just realized that the woman he had insulted before was so perfect. Her slender body, her smooth skin and natural beauty really captivated him. When Leon was about to step forward towards Anne, suddenly Edward came running from the direction of the cafeteria.

"Thank God you\'re still here, Anne," said Edward, panting.

"What\'s wrong, Edward?" Asked Anne, confused.

"It\'s your laptop. You left your laptop in the canteen," Edward replied quickly, handing Anne her laptop bag.

"Oh my God, how could I forget? Thank you Edward, I will cry for days if this laptop is lost," Anne squealed, feeling grateful, as she hugged the bag containing her favorite laptop which had many important files.

"Next time, when you\'re leaving, always check your belongings, Anne," said Edward softly.

"Yes, you are careless, Anne. If we didn\'t just leave the cafeteria so suddenly, this definitely wouldn\'t have happened, right?" Linda joined in with a rising tone.

Anne just smiled broadly at Linda\'s words. She was speechless because Linda\'s words were true. She was the one who was wrong in this matter, because she had just left the cafeteria without checking her belongings. Meanwhile, Leon, who was still standing there, looked very angry seeing Edward talking to Anne. He was jealous to see Anne laugh with another man.

"Thanks again, Edward," said Anne for the umpteenth time.

"Never mind, Anne, you don\'t have to thank me repeatedly like that, it\'s not a big deal. The important thing is don\'t do it again in the future," Edward said quietly with a smile.

Anne smiled at Edward\'s words, this was the first time she had spoken to Edward that long. While usually she tried to avoid talking to Edward. Because it was getting late, Anne finally said goodbye to Edward. She had to hurry to the shop to check on Paul, her new courier. Leon, who had not spoken to Anne, was shocked when he saw Anne was walking away. He quickly tried to catch up with Anne, but when he just stepped his foot, Professor Gilbert suddenly came over and stopped him, made him unable to approach Anne.

"So you\'ve arrived, sir," said Professor Gilbert kindly.

"Yes, I just arrived a few minutes ago," Leon replied softly, trying to hold back his anger at Edward who made him unable to talk to Anne.

"Yes, Sir, then come with me inside. There are many things that we have to take care of as soon as possible, Sir," said Professor Gilbert, again inviting Leon to enter the meeting room where there were already many graphic design students, the prospective animators, gathered following Leon\'s previous request.

"Okay, sir." Leon answered softly at Professor Gilbert\'s invitation to enter the special meeting room.

After saying that, Leon followed Professor Gilbert\'s steps. He turned around once and looked at Edward, who was still standing there staring at the parking area where Anne was already in her car and was trying to get out of the campus area.

"So your name is Edward. Okay, I\'ll remember your name, Edward. Marianne is my wife, don\'t you ever try to approach her. She\'s mine," Leon spoke silently, while glaring intently at Edward, who had previously spoken to Anne.

The call from Professor Gilbert who asked him to enter the meeting room made Leon wake up from his reverie. He then entered the meeting room following the professor. Leon\'s aim to come to the campus this time was to select a new graphic design candidate. That was why at this time in the meeting room there had been many alumni of the UAL campus majoring in graphic design who had been strictly selected by Professor Gilbert. Because Leon\'s company had collaborated with the UAL campus, he had no trouble finding new workers like this time, because Professor Gilbert would help him select prospective employees.

Meanwhile, Edward, who saw Anne leaving from a distance, was smiling, he was happy to be able to talk to Anne for a longer duration. Edward\'s men who were still in the cafeteria finally came to him. They followed Edward who was still standing on the path that was beside the field. After his men arrived, Edward then went to his class again. He still had one more course today, a different class from Anne\'s which only had two courses today. From the still bustling cafeteria, Gabriella didn\'t seem to be enjoying her lunch. She was annoyed at Edward who wanted to catch up with Anne because he wanted to return her laptop. Even though she had rejected Edward before, she was very upset when she saw Edward with Anne, even though when Edward was dating Sarah, she was not so upset.

"What\'s so good about that Anne? She\'s not popular, she\'s not famous, she\'s also not the daughter of a rich person like me, so why does Edward come to her?!" Gabriella said curtly.

"You take it easy, Ella. I\'m sure Edward is just messing around with that Anne," Naomi said softly, trying to calm Gabriella.

Isabel, who was Gabriella\'s rival for the ranking of the most popular girls in campus, smiled when she heard Gabriella\'s words. She then got up from her chair and approached Gabriella with her cold drink. Without further ado, she immediately sat beside her rival.

"Are you jealous of Anne?" Isabel asked quietly.

"Watch your words, Bela, do you think that Anne is that good that I have to be jealous of her?! Her class is still far below mine," Gabriella replied curtly, boasting herself.

"Hahahahaha you are the smartest at lying, Ell. From the look in your eyes I can tell that you are jealous of Anne for being approached by Edward, the prince of our campus. You might be able to lie to your people, but not with me," Isabel gave a big laugh then spoke softly in a whisper to Gabriella.

Gabriella could only be silent at the words of her rival. She was speechless because what Isabel said was true. She was disturbed by the presence of Anne, which began to attract the attention of male students at the campus, even though in her eyes, Anne was just ordinary. In terms of clothes and makeup, Anne was nothing compared to her and her rival, Isabel, but somehow she felt a little disturbed by Anne\'s existence.

"Get close to Edward or you will lose him forever," Isabel whispered back.

Slam!

Suddenly, Gabriella slammed the cafeteria table so hard as soon as Isabel spoke. She was annoyed because Isabel was tutoring her.

"Look, she\'s not at my level. So I won\'t be afraid of her. There\'s no way I\'m going to approach a boy first. You know that, Isabel!!" Gabriella shrieked emotionally. After saying that, Gabriella then left the cafeteria with her gang.

Isabel, who was still sitting in the cafeteria, seemed annoyed that her attempt to get rid of her rival failed. While in Ireland yesterday, she overheard a conversation between Gabriella and her gang about Aaron Sean Connery. That was why she incited Gabriella to accept Edward, with that she hoped to be the only woman who could get close to Aaron.

"Dammit, don\'t expect to have Aaron. He\'s mine," said Isabel irritably.

"Calm down, Bela, you\'re the best in this campus. So don\'t be afraid to compete with that Gabriella. You will get Aaron," Joy, her best friend, said quietly, trying to calm Isabel down.

"I\'m sure I\'m the one who will get Aaron, it\'s just that I have to get rid of the flies first, Joy. I don\'t want them flying around my man," Isabel replied curtly, still remembering clearly how Gabriella talked about Aaron in Ireland yesterday with her gang.

"Yes I know, that\'s why you have to calm down. Use Anne to make Gabriella jealous. When that happens, then you will be the only woman who can get close to Mr. Aaron, Bell. Keep provoking Gabriella slowly, but you have to be patient, don\'t be too hasty," Joy again gave the idea to Isabel to approach Aaron.

Hearing Joy\'s words made Isabel smile. She liked the idea her best friend had given her. If in the past her goal was to become the number one girl on the campus so she could get fame, now her goal had changed, she wanted to be Mrs. Connery.

Meanwhile, Jack, who was busy with his new company, couldn\'t visit Anne. He was still busy with various meetings that must be attended. Because he needed a female secretary, Jack finally recruited Alice to be the secretary, who would accompany him and Erick in meetings with clients.

"What time will this meeting be finished, Erick?" Jack asked quietly. He was tired of meeting since morning and they were not over yet.

"Should be a moment sir," replied Erick simply.

"I miss Anne, I\'m bored here, Erick," said Jack briefly.

Erick, who already knew that his master was in love, could only smile, because at this time he couldn\'t do much either because he was in the meeting room at the client\'s office. All he could do was try to calm the master and only Alice who had been focused on the client\'s explanation since earlier. She wanted to prove to Jack and Erick that she could be a reliable secretary.

"I want to hear your voice, Anne," Jack thought, imagining Anne\'s smiling face
