Fortunately, when Anne and Edward returned to the office, Leon had not yet arrived. Both of them had a little time to calm down and prepare everything before the meeting. Ten minutes later Leon came. He, who had just returned from home after giving a lesson to Steffi, went straight to the meeting room, where the staff was waiting for him, including Anne and Leon who had joined the others.

After Leon was in the room, the meeting began. This time, the meeting was a presentation from the music section, which was Edward's division. He also explained in detail what he and his men had been doing for the past few days. Applause was heard as he finished his presentation. The other staff seemed very satisfied with the work of Edward and his men. Leon also looked very happy and satisfied with this meeting. Seeing Leon smile made Edward very happy. He was very happy to be able to do the task given by Leon. He carried quite a heavy task for a student like him.

​​

"You're great, Edward," said Anne quietly as she was tidying up her laptop when the meeting was over.

"It's not only me who works, Anne, the others also contribute a lot," Edward replied modestly.

"Ah don't be so modest. Even though I know very well that this is..."

"Anne." Leon, who had not yet left the meeting room, suddenly interrupted Anne and Edward's conversation.

Hearing her name being called, Anne turned her head spontaneously and was quite surprised to see Leon was still in the meeting room.

"Yes sir, can I help you?" Anne asked politely.

Instead of answering Anne's question, Leon looked at Edward without blinking. Edward, who managed to read Leon's gaze, then accelerated his movement. Without neatly arranging the papers he used for the meeting. Edward then left the meeting room without a word. He knew that Leon wanted to have an important talk with Anne.

Watching Edward leave, Anne felt a little uneasy. She wasn't comfortable being alone with Leon. Even though they were currently in the meeting room, she still felt uncomfortable, especially considering what had happened yesterday when Leon made love to Steffi in his room.

"I hope you won't be submitting your resignation again, Anne," Leon said quietly. "I've taught Steffi a lesson. She won't dare to set foot in the office again. So what happened yesterday will not happen again. Anyone who dares to spread bad news about you will have to deal with me directly."

"Are you serious? Ah I mean, are you serious, sir?" asked Anne excitedly.

Leon smiled and walked over to Anne, but Anne, who could read Leon's movements, immediately acted quickly. She chose to step back away from Leon.

"Can you call me without using any frills like that, Anne?" Leon asked hopefully. He tried to soften his relationship with Anne.

"Sorry sir, I can't do that, your position is my boss. You are the owner of this company, there's no way I can just call your name. I don't want to look for trouble," answered Anne quickly, refusing Leon's request.

"But, Anne, we were..."

"Sorry sir, I think I have to go back to my desk. I still have a lot of work to do, excuse me." Anne immediately cut off Leon's words. She already knew where the conversation was going. Therefore, she preferred to end her conversation with Leon, because she didn't want to be involved in further discussions with her ex-husband.

After saying that, Anne then quickly tidied up the laptop and some files on the table. She then stepped out of the meeting room, leaving Leon alone.

"You shameless man! Who do you think I am? After you dumped me so cruelly, then now you're trying to approach me? Sorry Leon, I'm not the stupid Marianne I used to be. Enjoy my game, Leon, this is just the beginning." Anne spoke to herself as she walked out of the meeting room to hers.

Leon, who was still in the meeting room, didn't seem to take his eyes off Anne, who was walking further and further away from him. There was a tightness in his chest when his request was rejected by Anne. Even though earlier he was very sure that Anne would follow his request after he told about what he had done to Steffi, but the reality was not as beautiful as his imagination. Anne still kept a very long distance from him and this made him very sad. Leon had completely forgotten that two years ago he had dumped the woman he was currently chasing. He also forgot all the insults he had said two years ago to Anne. Anne's beauty which had now hypnotized him so that he forgot everything he had done.

After arriving back in her room, Anne chose to continue her pending works. She wanted to finish all her work before four o'clock in the afternoon, so she didn't need to do overtime. Although Steffi's problem had been resolved well, she couldn't relax because this time the game was just starting.

While she was concentrating on checking some pictures, suddenly a notification popped into her smart phone. Without thinking, Anne immediately grabbed her phone and saw what notifications came in. Her eyes widened instantly when she saw an Instagram account that seemed to have just been created suddenly following her Instagram account, which only contained views from the four seasons. Anne was very sure that the owner of the Instagram account was Steffi. Anne could immediately guess that it was Steffi's account, just from looking at the profile photo she was using. The reason was that currently Steffi used a photo of a ring-tailed weasel, Steffi was a lover of ring-tailed ferrets or what was commonly called a Rase weasel.

"How did Steffi know my Instagram account?" murmured Anne quietly. Because so far she had never given her social media account to anyone, including Linda, who became the only person she trusted since arriving in London.

Anne had not confirmed the request from the ring tailed ferret's profile photo account. She was still doubtful. Anne didn't want to be careless in accepting friendships from people she didn't know, especially since that person was Steffi. Because she didn't want to be bothered, she decided to delete her Instagram account. She chose to remove her traces instead of having to get in touch with Steffi. After deleting her Instagram account and then replying to a message from Jack who had just entered. She unconsciously smiled when she replied to a message for Jack.

Bang!

The sound of the cell phone being thrown by Steffi against the wall was enough to startle her two loyal maids, Gisele and Bertha, who were massaging her feet.

"Fuck you, Anne! How dare you block me!" said Steffi emotionally. She thought that Anne had blocked the fake account she had just created because she couldn't find Anne's account anymore, although Anne actually deleted her Instagram account so that her account could no longer be searched by anyone.

"Don't be angry, Madam. There are still many ways to destroy the fox. Do your master plan as soon as possible, Madam. The sooner it is carried out, the sooner the destruction will come," Gisele said softly.

"Yes, you're right, Gisele, but I need time to find the best loophole. Don't worry, I've got the male lead. We just have to execute it and if it all works out, then I'm sure that sly fox will be crushed this time," replied Steffi was cold full of confidence.

Steffi's two loyal maids were seen nodding their heads together. They supported Steffi's plan to destroy Anne.

Because her working hours were over, Anne was ready to go home. But when she stepped right in front of her room, Anne was instantly petrified when she saw a man she knew very well, shaking hands with Leon in front of the elevator.

"Welcome, Mr Muller, welcome to Ganke Inc. Production." Leon's friendly voice sounded very clear when he shook hands with Jack, who had just arrived with Erick and Alice, Alice, who did not expect to see Anne in the new client's office, almost screamed loudly if Erick didn't nudge her soon.
