All students majoring in fashion design who had the desire to be able to get a contract with the Ganke Inc Production finally filled out the registration forms, including Anne. She even looked very excited, whereas before, it seemed that she was not interested at all. After all the students filled out the registration forms, Anne then returned to focus on Professor Gilbert's subjects as well as other students.

Meanwhile, in his classroom, Edward seemed so unfocused to the professor's lecture at the front of the class. Half of his soul was no longer in class. He was eager to meet Anne. Hearing the stories of some of his friends who said that Anne was the talk around the campus had made him uneasy. He wanted to know what made them talk about Anne, whether from her clothes or her make-up.

​​

"Be patient, Boss, we still have thirty minutes left," whispered one of Edward's men quietly.

"Fuck, why is the hour feels so long today?" Edward replied quietly.

"Be patient, just wait for a little while, Boss," added the other subordinates.

Edward, who was very impatient, repeatedly looked at his watch. The five of his men could only remain silent when they saw Edward was so restless. The same thing seemed to happen to Isabel. She also looked uneasy. The incident this morning really ruined her mood. Isabel wanted to immediately go to the bar to vent her frustration. She usually would calm herself down by drinking.

When everyone was upset with Anne, Anne didn't know anything. She didn't know that many people's moods were messed up today because of her. She still looked calm and focused on the lesson given by Professor Gilbert. She was now sure of her purpose, that was to make Leon and Steffi feel what she had felt, just like what Jack had said last night. Because of that, she was now trying hard to learn to be able to take part-time recruitment selection at Leon's animation office as a fashion designer for the cartoon character they would launch soon.

After two hours had passed, the bell finally rang. Professor Gilbert ended his course this morning. He again gave words of enthusiasm for fashion design students to continue to study well in order to be selected and be able to work part-time at the Ganke Inc Production company, because if they could enter the company, then they would have many opportunities to develop their careers. They didn't have to fix on one career as a fashion designer, but expanded in other fields, such as the position offered at Leonardo Ganke's company.

"Ahh I'm so tired. Let's eat, Anne, I'm famished. Studying for four hours without a break is really starving me right now," said Linda quietly as she reached for her bag to pick up the sandwich she had bought earlier.

"Shall we eat in class?" asked Anne quietly as she tidied up her laptop and book into her bag.

"Yes, I don't feel like walking to the cafeteria. Besides, I've bought a drink too, so we don't have to go to there," said Linda quickly as she pulled out her lunch box containing two large club sandwiches and two bottles of mineral water onto the table.

"That's a big sandwich, Linda. Shall we eat one each?" asked Anne in disbelief when she saw the two largest size sandwich portions in front of her right now.

"Yes." Linda answered quickly as she took a bite of the sandwich she had just pulled out of the bag in one big bite.

Anne just shook her head slowly as she watched Linda ate eartily. Tempted by the smell of the sandwiches brought by Linda, Anne finally reached for her sandwich which was still in the lunch box. Thinking that she would not finish it all, Anne split the sandwich in half first. She then took half a slice of her sandwich and started eating it while reading the message sent by Paul. Today Paul served many customers who bought lots of flowers in the shop. Every time someone bought flowers, Paul would immediately inform her, either with the amount of money he received or the flowers he had managed to sell.

"Paul?" Linda asked curiously.

"Yes, he's reporting on the situation at the shop," said Anne quietly. She didn't want anyone to hear her conversation with Linda.

Linda nodded her head slowly at Anne's words. She didn't utter any word as her mouth was still full of food. When Anne and Linda were still enjoying their sandwiches, Sarah, Edward's ex-girlfriend, and her friends, walked over to Gabriella, who had always been in the classroom.

"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long, Ella," Sarah said loudly as she sat across from Gabriella.

"It's okay. Oh right, where are the photos I asked Sarah?" Gabriella asked in an equally loud voice.

Without speaking, Sarah then took out the photos that Gabriella requested. Apparently, Gabriela asked for photos of their three days vacation in Ireland. Gabriella knew that Sarah really hated Anne because she was considered to have teased Edward by taking advantage of the situation. She had deliberately called Sarah into the classroom to be pitted against Anne. However, because Anne, who was still busy with her lunch with Linda, did not respond to their words, Gabriella and Sarah were annoyed. They had deliberately been talking loudly and hoped that Anne would be provoked by their words, but Anne just kept eating with Linda calmly as if nothing had happened. It was because basically Anne felt that she did not have any problems with Sarah or Gabriella, even though the two girls had been talking in loud and disturbing voices.

"Are you full, Linda?" asked Anne quietly to Linda who was still enjoying her sandwich. Linda had been kicking her leg under the table. Anne realized that Linda had been uncomfortable with the presence of Sarah talking quite loudly with Gabriella.

"No, I'm still hungry," said Linda curtly with a mouth full of food.

"Well, if you're still hungry, let's get some other food in the cafeteria," said Anne quietly as she closed the lunch box which still contained half of her sandwich which was still untouched.

Linda immediately got up from her chair and carried her bag when she heard Anne's suggestion. She had been really uncomfortable overhearing Sarah and Gabriella's quarrelsome-like conversation.

"I wonder, how can a woman eat that much food? It seems like her stomach is full of worms that are constantly starving." Sarah suddenly spoke again loudly insinuating Anne, who was going to the cafeteria.

"Don't be surprised, Sarah, that's nothing new," Gabriella said quickly.

"No wonder she has a lot of energy to flirt with a lot of men, she has a lot of energy," Sarah said again.

"Wow, so you know that too, Sarah. I think only a few people know that this morning she was trying to get the attention of many male students from other majors." shrieked Gabriella loudly teasing Anne back, laughing.

Hearing Gabriella's last words made Linda's emotions rise. It seemed as if she was about to step towards Gabriella's place, but Anne immediately held her steps while shaking her head.

"Their mouths need to be sewn, Anne," said Linda irritably.

"Never mind, we don't know who they're talking about since earlier, so you don't have the right to be angry like that, Linda. As long as they don't mention names, it means we can't be angry with them," whispered Anne again, grabbing Linda's hand.

"They didn't mention Anne's name, but they both have been teasing us. Don't you feel that since Sarah and her friends arrived, Gabriella has repeatedly teased us?" Linda asked curtly.

Hearing Linda's words made Anne smile, she gently put her hand on Linda's shoulder and tapped her repeatedly to calm Linda's swelling emotions.

"Listen to me, Linda, as long as they don't touch our hands or mention our names, then we don't have the right to be angry. Because, as you know, they've never mentioned your name or my name while they both talk at length like that, so we don't have any right to be angry. If we get angry, it means we feel like what they say, but I don't feel that way. Do you feel like what they are talking about that you finally get angry like that?" asked back Anne in a half whisper.

"Of course not, who is greedy?! I'm not greedy, I only eat a little bit, Anne, someone can be called greedy if she eats dozens of sandwiches. I only eat a portion, so how can I be called greedy?" Linda replied curtly, deeply offended by what Sarah and Gabriella were saying.

Anne only smiled at Linda's words. She actually also knew that Gabriella and Sarah had been teasing her and Linda, because she and Linda were the only people in the class who were eating.

When she had just stepped towards the door, suddenly Vince entered by running.

"An-Anne ... you were summoned to the faculty room," Vince stammered.

"Me? What's wrong, Vince?" asked Anne, confused.

"I don't know, I was only asked to tell you that," Vince replied curtly.

"I see, that's it then. Thanks for the information, Vince. I'm going to the lecturer room now," said Anne quietly as she let go of her hand from Linda.

"Anne ..."

"It's okay. You go to the cafeteria first. I'll catch up with you later," said Anne quietly interrupting Linda's words.

"Okay, when you're done, come and fine me at the cafeteria," said Linda again.

"Okay, don't nag. See you later, Linda," Anne said goodbye to Linda. After saying that, she then walked to the lecturer room with Vince.

Along the way to the lecturer room, there was no conversation between Anne and Vince, because Vince looked very nervous walking with Anne. While Anne was silent, she wondered why she was called to the lecturer room. When they almost arrived at Professor Gilbert's room, Anne's steps stopped when she saw Leon standing with Professor Gilbert.

"You're here, Anne. Come on in. Mr. Ganke wants to talk to you," said Professor Gilbert quickly.

Anne was silent for a while hearing Professor Gilbert's words, but because the professor walked over to her, Anne finally woke up from her reverie. A smile immediately spread across her face as she met Leon's face again at this close distance.
