Chapter 211 - Leon's Big Day
The day Leon had been waiting for finally arrived. Today was Anne and Edward's first day of working in his office. Since five o'clock in the morning, he had woken up and went straight to the special room where his clothes were stored. He sorted out his best clothes to wear to work today, where he had never done this in his life. He really prepared himself as well as possible to welcome Anne on her first day of working with him.
With a big smile, Leon looked after the three-layered shirt he had just taken out of the closet. "I'm sure that with this Marianne will be fascinated to see me. She will definitely admire me again like she used to when she first saw me at the restaurant back then," Leon spoke to himself confidently. He was sure that with his good looks, Anne would fall for him.
Not wanting to waste his time, Leon then went to the bathroom to take a shower. He chose to take a shower and get ready early in order to arrive at the office early so he could welcome Anne when she arrived. Steffi, who was still sleeping soundly, didn't realize that her husband was currently in the bathroom, because every day she would prepare all of Leon's clothes. But because it was still very early in the morning, she had not woken up yet. She was still sound asleep while hugging a doll and wearing an eye mask, so she didn't know that Leon had turned on the light in the bedroom, to which she would have woken up immediately if she didn't wear a mask. Steffi couldn't sleep with the lights on, because she thought that sleeping with the lights on will detract from her beauty and make the fine lines around her eyes appear. That was why she always slept with a special eye mask and the lights off.
When it was half past seven in the morning Leon had finished grooming himself and wore the clothes he had chosen earlier. He was currently standing in front of the mirror, spraying his best perfume around the back of his neck. By combing his hair back, Leon looked more handsome. He really became the new Leon today.
"Rest assured, Leon, with your good looks like this, Marianne will definitely melt and fall into your arms again. There is no woman in this world who can resist your extraordinary charm, Leon," Leon said in his heart, praising himself as he stood in front of the mirror.
Wearing his beloved Richard Mille watch, Leon walked out of his dressing room. He didn't look at all at Steffi who was still sleeping. Last night, Steffi came home quite late, because she had just attended a charity event that she participated in. Steffi had managed to find a socialite group that suited her tastes. Therefore, she had started to be busy with her activities the same as she did in Berlin, where she would make many connections with socialites to make herself exist in that glamorous world and to make her husband proud of her for making such connections. That was why Steffi hadn't woken up yet. Leon, who only thought about Anne, didn't care about Steffi at all. He immediately grabbed his smart phone that was on the table and went straight out of his room and down the stairs without saying anything. Even when the maid, who was preparing breakfast, greeted him, he didn't reply. The only thing on Leon's mind right now was wanting to get to the office quickly to welcome Anne when she arrived.
"Morning, Sir." Alex, the driver, greeted Leon politely.
"Go straight to the office, Alex," Leon quickly answered Alex's greeting.
"Yes Sir," said Alex quickly.
Shortly after Leon got into the car, Alex immediately got into the car. Alex, who was used to getting up early and standby when the sun had not even risen yet, had no trouble when Leon suddenly left this early in the morning. He chose to do his job well, without asking why today Leon left earlier than usual. When Alex focused on driving the car, Leon was busy with his cell phone. He looked at his cell phone screen and saw the message that he had sent last night to Anne. And the message that he had sent to Anne had not been opened by her, that was why he felt very uneasy right now, because he was worried that Anne would not read his message or forget her schedule to go to work today. This caused him to open his cell phone repeatedly and looked doubtful whether to call Anne or not, because he was afraid that if he contacted Anne now, it would interfere with her activities, as she was preparing to go to the office.
Leon finally decided to calm down and think positively. He was sure that Anne would definitely come to his office today. Since Anne had signed a contract that carried the name of the UAL campus, it made Leon calm a little.
"Why are you driving a lot slower today than usual, Alex?" Leon asked Alex quietly, looking at the clock on his left hand.
"No Sir, I drive the car at the usual speed, Sir. Moreover, today the traffic is still quiet. In ten minutes, we shall arrive at your office." Alex slowly answered Leon's complaining question politely.
"Really? But why do I feel you are much slower, Alex?" Leon said again.
"If there is an important meeting today, can I increase the speed again, Sir?" Alex asked quickly. He felt a little guilty to Leon for letting him down.
"No, don't worry, Alex. I was wrong. It seems my clock shows the wrong time. It's better this way, Alex, because the road is slippery with snow. You'd better be careful," Leon answered flatly. He tried to divert the conversation by asking Alex to pay more attention to the road.
"Ready, Sir."
Not long after that, the car was quiet again. There was no conversation between Leon and his private driver. He was really restless right now, thinking about Anne who had not read his message. As Alex said before, ten minutes later they finally arrived at the Ganke Inc Production office. The security immediately approached the car which had arrived very early. Even Leon was the first to arrive at the office, because the Ganke Inc Production employees would only arrive at the office when it was approaching eight in the morning.
With light steps, Leon entered his office. His smile spread wide as he was in the elevator alone. In another forty-five minutes, he would meet Anne, the ex-wife he had tried to approach and woo to come back to him. Since the first day he saw Anne at the University of the Arts London, Leon was determined to make Anne return to him. That was why he was very happy that the day he had been waiting for would soon come, where he could be alone with Anne and make her fall in love with him again.
"You will be my wife again, Marianne, the wife of Leonardo Ganke. Only a woman as beautiful and smart as you are is worthy of the title Mrs. Ganke," Leon said quietly as he stood right in front of Anne's new office which was very beautiful and fragrant.
