I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 136 - First Warning



Chapter 136 - First Warning

Without guilt, Leon immediately reached out his hand to Anne. He acted as if he had never done anything to Anne in the past.

"Nice to meet you again, Miss …"

"Marianne, but you can call me Anne, Sir," said Anne quickly as she grabbed Leon's hand and shook it without hesitation.

Leon's heart skipped a beat as Anne grabbed his hand and smiled at him. There was a strange feeling that he had never felt when he was with Steffi even in all these years.

"All right, then let's go in, Anne. We have something to discuss with you," said Professor Gilbert quietly.

"Yes, Professor," said Anne briefly, releasing her grip on Leon's hand.

Meanwhile, the unfocused Leon seemed to be stunned for a while, until soon he walked quickly following Anne's steps into Professor Gilbert's office. Anne, who realized that Leon was acting up, looked happy. It turned out that everything Jack had said was true. When she made her enemies closer, she could become calmer.

After Leon and Anne sat on Professor Gilbert's sofa and then informed her of his purpose was to ask Anne to come to his office, Anne, who was curious, seemed very serious in listening to Professor Gilbert's explanation.

"I'm immediately selected? H-how come?" Asked Anne incredulously after Professor Gilbert finish speaking.

"Yes, Anne. You were chosen to be one of the lucky students who could work at Mr. Ganke's company," Professor Gilbert replied quickly.

"How can that be? Didn't you say earlier that we would be selected before entering the company, Professor?" asked Anne again.

"It's true and Mr. Ganke himself selected you based on the questionnaire you have filled in earlier," replied Professor Gilbert briefly, smiling at Leon who had been staring at Anne without blinking. He was admiring Anne's beauty.

"Mr. Ganke ..."

"Ah yes, Miss Anne, after I read the questionnaire that you filled in earlier, I feel you are suitable to fill this position. I have also received references from several lecturers who said that you are a competent student, Miss. That's why I'm interested in inviting you to work at my new company," said Leon quickly trying to cover up his nervousness after almost being caught staring at Anne.

"References from several lecturers? What do you mean, Professor?" asked Anne, turning to Professor Gilbert in confusion. She really wanted to teach Leon and Steffi a lesson, but she did not expect that it would happened this fast.

Professor Gilbert then explained in detail to Anne what Leon had said before. Anne, who did not believe Leon's words, was silent when she heard Professor Gilbert's explanation. It turned out that the selection of prospective interns at the Ganke Inc Production company was also influenced by the grades of each classes taken and because Anne was on the highest grades to date, she was immediately accepted by Leon.

"But we haven't done the final exam for this semester, Professor. After all, the grades are only the assignments, they weren't the final grades as a whole," said Anne slowly, slightly protesting.

"Yes, indeed, but the grades have represented everything, Anne, and actually you are not the only one who passed the first stage of acceptance. There is Edward Cole from the music department who was also chosen. He was chosen directly by Mr. Ganke to fill all the music in the new animation film, Anne," Professor Gilbert replied excitedly. He was delighted that Edward was selected as music director in the new film by Ganke Inc Production.

When Anne still didn't understand why she could be chosen, suddenly the door of Professor Gilbert's office was knocked from outside by someone. Professor Gilbert, who already knew who was coming, immediately got up and went to the door. His smile immediately expanded when he saw Edward's figure standing in front of the door.

"Come on in, Edward. Anne is also inside and of course Mr. Leonardo Ganke," said Professor Gilbert quickly.

"Yes, Professor," said Edward curtly.

Edward, who was initially not in the mood when he was summoned to Professor Gilbert's office, now smiled when he found out that Anne was in Professor Gilbert's office as well. His anger in waiting for Anne for a long time in the cafeteria immediately disappeared. When she saw Edward coming towards her, Anne shifted her seat to give Edward a place to sit down.

After Edward was seated, Professor Gilbert then explained to Edward what purpose he was summoned to his office. Edward's facial expression immediately changed when he heard that he was chosen to be the music director for the animated film belonging to Leonardo Ganke's production house.

"Do you mean it, Sir? This is not a joke, is it?" Edward said in disbelief.

"No, Edward, this is true. Mr. Ganke already knew your musical abilities firsthand during yesterday's show, so he immediately appointed you to be a part of this animated film," Professor Gilbert replied quickly.

"Yes, Edward, I was very impressed with your skill in playing the piano yesterday. And it is an honor for me to invite you to take part in this big project of my company," Leon added softly with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Ganke. I promise you, I will not disappoint you," said Edward excitedly.

"That's great then. I really can't wait for this project to start. It's great to be able to work with great students like you two," Leon said again, smiling meaningfully at Anne.

After giving an explanation to Edward, Professor Gilbert then submitted two documents containing the cooperation contract between Edward and Anne as representatives of the UAL campus and Leonardo Ganke as CEO of Ganke Inc Production. When Edward received the document with enthusiasm, Anne didn't show any excitement. She was very careful when she received the document from Professor Gilbert.

"You two can read the contents of the document first before agreeing to join Ganke Inc Production, but I ask you not to take too long because I have to submit the documents to the personnel department to be processed, so that both of you can quickly join our company and our project can start immediately," said Leon quietly with a smile, trying to explain to Edward and Anne.

"Yes sir, I will definitely hand this document back to you soon," replied Edward excitedly. He was delighted to be selected as the music director in the animated film produced by Ganke Inc Production, because if he managed to bring this film to great success, then his name would immediately be recognized by everyone around the world.

"I need time to read and study it further, and it is possible that I will take a little longer so ..."

"It's okay, Miss Anne. If you want to study it first, I will be happy to wait for it. As long as it is not too long, because we will soon produce this film," said Leon, quickly interrupting Anne's words.

"Okay then, give me three days to read it. Is it okay if I ask for three days?" asked Anne quietly as she closed the contract letter in her hand again.

"It's okay, Miss Anne. I am ready to wait for you," Leon replied briefly. His smile broadened when he talked to Anne like that. He was very happy to be able to talk that long with Anne.

Because Professor Gilbert had already informed them what he needed to inform, finally Edward and Anne were allowed to leave Professor Gilbert's office to return to class. Edward looked very happy when he brought the contract letter from Leon without knowing what Leon's real purpose was to him. Meanwhile, Anne, who was not at all interested in Leon's company, looked casual.

While on her way to class, as the class had started again, Anne suddenly stopped her steps when she saw Steffi walked towards her. Anne, who was previously very uninspired, suddenly changed. She looked full of energy as she walked over to Steffi.

"You, what do you want to get in my way?" snapped Steffi with a rising tone when she saw Anne standing in front of her.

"This is my campus, so I'm not in your way," answered Anne briefly.

Because she was not in the mood to deal with Anne, Steffi finally chose to continue her steps to catch up with Leon, who was still in Professor Gilbert's office. While passing beside Anne, his steps suddenly stopped when Anne grabbed her hand firmly.

"What are you ..."

"How is it, Steffi? How does it feel to enjoy what is not rightfully yours?" asked Anne, quickly cutting off Steffi's words.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand. And one more thing you have to know, I am the legal wife of Leonardo Ganke. So call me Mrs. Ganke, don't just talk randomly like that. You're very rude, Miss," said Steffi curtly. She deliberately called Anne as Miss to clarify the distance between the two of them.

Anne smiled slightly at Steffi's words. She then released her grip on Steffi's arm.

"Enjoy your status as Mrs. Ganke well while it lasts, Madame," whispered Anne quietly right beside Steffi's ear.
