"Fuckkk ... I am Edward Cole, I am the sole heir of the company that publishes the best artists in town. How dare they compare me to that newly arrived man," shouted Edward full of emotion in his car.

"If I wanted, I could be a successful businessman and be crazy about women like that man. But I want to try to achieve my dream by becoming a reliable musician, without the help of my family company. But if things turn out like this, maybe I will use a shortcut and ask the managers in the company to promote me on a large scale and terminate all the contracts of the lowly artists who are working at my company," said Edward furiously. He was really very offended being compared with other men.

​​

Increasing the speed of his car, Edward turned the car towards his family's company, which was not too far from the campus. Now he intended to do what his father had offered him, namely to become the exclusive artist of the company and use the company's big name to raise him. He didn't care to be called an artist who took advantage of the big name of the family. What he had in mind right now was that he must become a reliable musician known by everyone to silence the mouths of the girls who have belittled him. Although actually what the girls said did not fall into the category of demeaning him, for Edward being compared to other men was an insult.

Meanwhile, at London airport, several men dressed all in black were escorting a husband and wife who had just gotten off their private jet after flying from Germany. They were Leonardo Ganke and his wife, Stefani Ganke, who would participate in the annual UAL campus event.

Leon received an invitation from one of the chancellors at the arts campus. As a well-known businessman in Germany, he had the opportunity to take part in events like this. Moreover, his company was a company engaged in the world of animation, where a lot of high-quality cartoon films are produced by his company. Therefore he did not waste this opportunity to look for new talents that he could recruit into his company.

"We really only have a quick stay, right, Honey?" Steffi asked Leon for the umpteenth time when they were already in the car to the hotel.

"Yes, we will only stay there for a while tomorrow, we will return to Germany again in the night. I have to attend this event to find new talents in the world of animation that I can invite to join our company," Leon replied with a smile.

"Thank God, then, I feel very uncomfortable being in this country. A feeling that I have never felt before, Dear," said Steffi softly.

"What do you mean, Dear?" Leon asked, confused.

"I don't know either, I don't know. What is certain is that my feelings are very different from when we travel to other countries. It felt like when I stepped foot on British soil, I felt very uncomfortable, I felt like there would be a big event happening, but I also don't know what it is Leon," replied Steffi in a hoarse voice, while leaning on Leon's burly arm.

"Don't think about it, take it easy. I'm right here beside you, everything will be fine," Leon said softly, trying to calm his wife.

Steffani nodded his head slowly at the words of his husband. She tightened her hug on Leon's arm as if she was keeping Leon from going away from her. Steffani was afraid for no reason and she only felt this after two years at Leon's side after she was able to get rid of her best friend, the ugly Marianne.

"Leon is mine. He belongs to Steffi. I can't lose Leon, he is everything to me. I don't want to be poor anymore, I don't want to be a lowly woman anymore. I've been trying very hard to be in my position now ... yes, Leon is mine," said Steffani, terrified. She really didn't feel comfortable in London.

Connery Corporation.

Since Aaron didn't come to work two days ago, as a result, yesterday and today, he looked very busy in his office,, with Daniel who was seen preparing files to be brought to the UAL campus. The files were application forms for UAL students who had the opportunity to apply for work at the company led by Aaron. However, there were conditions that must be met by them beforehand. Those who were allowed to apply were students who get the best ratings from Aaron himself, as a leader and from campus recommendations.

"This is because you didn't come to the office. As a result, in two days we really worked hard to complete these files," said Daniel curtly, as he continued his work.

"Didn't I already tell you that I have a very important business that I had to attend to? So, it's not my fault that I didn't work yesterday. After all, I've sent all the work to you, you should be able to finish this well," Aaron replied casually, without feeling guilty.

"Still it wasn't optimal, sir, because you have to read the file that I have made. However, as the leader, you must know the contents of the new contract before it is distributed to the students who will apply for it. I also cannot make my own decisions because I am not. a leader. I'm just a messenger, who is easily fooled by my leader," Daniel replied sarcastically to Aaron.

Aaron burst out laughing when he heard Daniel's words. He was very happy when he saw Daniel was angry like that. Because the appointed time was nearing, Aaron and Daniel left for the UAL campus with a suitcase containing letters of agreement that had to be signed by students who wanted to apply for work at Aaron's company, or more precisely, an internship. But internships at Aaron's company also had a higher level, because they had the opportunity to work part time at Aaron's company while they were still in college. So the contract was really very important because it wasn't just an ordinary apprenticeship contract. Like Daniel had said before, Aaron really had to read it in great detail, so as not to make mistakes and not create jealousy among the other workers at Aaron's company.

On the way to the UAL campus, Aaron continued to smile. He couldn't wait to see Anne again, even though last night he finished chatting with Anne until one o'clock via video call, but Aaron felt that his chat with Anne from that afternoon had not satisfied him. He always felt that he still didn't have time to talk to Anne. Yesterday, after waking up on the sofa, after they both fell asleep back from the hospital, Aaron had asked for Anne's phone number, just in case things like the previous night happened again. So Anne could immediately contact Aaron if there was an emergency like that again, and Anne happily gave him her cell phone number, even though so far no man has gotten her new phone number except for the lecturers.
