Chapter 147 - Support
Steffi was still on a rampage in the room. The special day that she imagined would be perfect and beautiful had fallen apart because Leon went to meet someone who was considered very important by Leon.
"You promised to only be gone for a while, Leon! Why did you leave me at the restaurant for three hours?"
"Why do you have to go on our special day, Leon? Don't you know that today is an important day for our relationship? Then why did you leave me alone like a fool in a restaurant full of people like that?"
"I was so embarrassed, Leon. I was so embarrassed to be left alone in a restaurant like that before even being kicked out by the waiter because I am still faithfully waiting for you to come back. Why are you doing this to me, Leon? Why are you this bad to me, what is it that I lack as your wife?"
"Aarrggghh! Leon!"
Ths sound of screaming which was followed by the breaking of several items was heard very clearly from the room. The new servants who had started working since yesterday were silent to hear their mistress went crazy. No one dared to disturb Steffi in the room, even though they were very worried about the mistress's condition.
"What do we do? Do we need to tell Master?" asked a young maid named Sandra to her friend.
"No. If we tell Master, I'm afraid that Madam will get even angrier. It's better if we just keep quiet and wait for instructions from Madam," Melly, the maid who was older than Sandra answered thoughtfully.
"Okay then, we better just keep quiet," said Sandra quietly.
"Yes, I don't want to lose my job again. This time we have to work well so that we can pay off the loan at the institution so that we can be free of our debts. Therefore, we now have to be loyal servants to our employers and don't do anything because of the salary here is very big. So we better follow all the instructions given by Mrs. Steffi," added Melly softly, remembering their debts to the labor distribution institution that accommodated them all this time.
Sandra nodded her head in response to Melly's words. Before being taken by Steffi from the institution, they both had a sizable debt to the institution that housed them all this time. That was why they couldn't lose their jobs anymore if they wanted to be free from the institution that had been sheltering them. The reason was that as long as they still had debts to the institution, they had to pay off the debt, before finally being free from the institution and were able to find other jobs apart from being a domestic service assistant assigned by the institution, where they had been sheltering so far.
The two young girls were forced to become domestic assistants because their certificates were held by the head of the institution as collaterals for the debts they took and as long as the debts could not be paid, they would not be able to take their certificates. That was why they couldn't find other work besides being a domestic assistant. Without a certificate, they were not accepted anywhere even though their diploma was only at high school level.
The sound of the last scream from Steffi finally made the two friends decide to enter the mistress's room to see what was happening. Both of them were very shocked when they saw the condition of the room which had fallen apart. Broken glasses were scattered on the floor mixed with fragments of several bottles of Steffi's expensive perfume which made the room very fragrant.
"Madame!!"
The two young maids let out a cry in unison when they saw Steffi's leg was bleeding. Without being ordered, the two young girls helped Steffi. Melly immediately grabbed Steffi's body who was sitting on the bed, while Sandra was looking for a first aid kit. Not long after that, Steffi's leg, which was bleeding, was bandaged by Melly and Sandra.
"Madame, please don't hurt yourself like this when you're angry, Madame," said Melly quietly.
"Yes, Madame, love yourself, Madame," added Sandra to join the conversation.
"Tell me, am I not beautiful? Am I not attractive?" asked Steffi quietly, half consciously.
"You are very beautiful, Madame, Master is very lucky to find a wife like you," replied Sandra quickly.
"Yes, Madame, you are really very beautiful. Your body is also very proportional like a supermodel's body," added Melly in response to Sandra's words.
Hearing the words of the two new maids made Steffi smile. She then looked at the two maids who were crouching in front of her.
"If I'm beautiful, then why did my husband leave me alone in the restaurant tonight? I waited for more than three hours. He said he only wanted to go away for a while, but in fact I was left by him in the restaurant," Steffi sobbed softly. She was very hurt by Leon's treatment to her tonight. .
"Maybe Master left because there is a very important matter in the company. I'm sure he have another reason to leave you. Because believe me, no man can leave a woman as beautiful as you are alone," Melly said softly, trying to calm Steffi.
"Important business in the company ..."
"Yes Madame, only things like that make a husband able to do something like this," said Melly again, interrupting Steffi's words.
"Then what should I do now?" asked Steffi, confused.
"Now you just need to calm down and rest, Madame. We will help you. We will keep this incident from Master. Mr. Leon will not know if you are angry. I'm sure he will be very sorry when he knows you are this calm. You have to show him that you are a kind and patient wife. And save all your anger from Master, so that Master will feel guilty to you, Madam," said Melly again.
"Really? Can my husband feel guilty to me?" asked Steffi back.
"Yes, Madame, you can take it easy. We will both help you get Mr. Leon's love. The most important thing is that you are calm and take a rest right now. Leave the rest to us," Melly replied excitedly.
Steffi smiled at the words of her new maids. Even though she had not known the two maids in front of her for long, somehow she felt calm when her two maids gave her support, which she had never received during her time in Berlin, because she was busy in various activities to support Leon's good name in the eyes of the community by doing various kinds of charity activities.
After Steffi calmed down, the two young girls then began to quickly tidy up the broken glass scattered in Steffi's room. They both did so with gusto. Ten minutes later, Steffi's room was clean again and looked as if nothing had happened in the room.
"Now help me take a shower," said Steffi quietly.
"Gladly, Madame," Sandra and Melly replied in unison, smiling, and walked slowly to the bed to help Steffi get up and go to the bathroom to wash her body.

Meanwhile, Leon was currently busy in his new office. He was seen busy changing the contents of the contract given by Anne. Leon felt that he had to immediately adjust the contract so that Anne was willing to sign it and could work in his company as soon as possible. Leon really wanted to make Anne close to him again.
"I have to be able to make you work in my office, Anne, you have to be mine again. You can't possibly resist the charm of the rich and handsome Leonardo Ganke, Marianne." Leon spoke confidently while staring at Anne's contract letter that he had just finished revising. He forgot that he had abandoned Anne since the first day they were husband and wife.

Cough!
Cough!
Jack, who was drinking mineral water, coughed when he heard Anne's words. He didn't believe that Anne would go this far.
"Be careful, Jack. How could choke while drinking your water?" said Anne quietly as she handed Jack a tissue.
"You're not afraid of him anymore, Anne?" Jack asked quietly as he reached for the tissue that was given by Anne.
"No, I'm even more excited to see him crushed, Jack. A bastard like Leon should be taught a lesson, so I beg you don't leave me. I need you to crush him, Jack," answered Anne hopefully.
A smile crossed Jack's face when he heard Anne's words. He slowly squeezed her hand.
"I am the only person who will always be beside you even when the whole world leaves you, Anne," said Jack softly.
