Chapter 444 - Leonardo Ganke's Ex-Wife
After confessing his feelings, Aaron felt better, although Rose had not yet given an answer to Aaron's words to take the relationship to a more serious level. Rose still wanted to prove that she was not a spoiled child that was always been called at her. Rose wanted to make people who had been underestimating her abilities ashamed. That was why Rose was still considering Aaron's request.
"When will I get an answer?" Aaron asked Rose again for the umpteenth time when he was at the restaurant for dinner.
Rose lifted her face and looked at Aaron. "Don't talk about that here, there's Daniel and a lot of other people. Aren't you embarrassed?"
"Why should I be embarrassed? There's nothing to be embarrassed of," Aaron replied with a smile.
Daniel, who had just arrived at the same dining table as Aaron and Rose, was surprised to see that neither of them had touched the food on their plates, "Is the food bad?"
Rose and Aaron who were looking at each other then turned to Daniel.
"It's delicious, I like this food," said Aaron curtly.
"If it's delicious, why is the steak just stabbed with a fork, without being eaten, Boss?" Daniel sneered sarcastically as he put the piece of steak into his mouth.
Aaron, who was about to reply to Daniel's words, suddenly canceled his intention when he saw a very familiar person had just entered the restaurant. It was a figure he had not seen in almost two years. Leonardo Ganke, Anne's ex-husband, whom he had hated so much, was walking in front of him along with his guards. Realizing Aaron's change in attitude, Daniel became curious, so he finally turned his head towards the direction where Aaron was looking at and was surprised when he saw the German businessman who had lived in London for more than two years was now in the same place as them.
"Wow... unbelievable!" Leon said loudly when he recognized Aaron.
"What's wrong, sir?" Wayne asked confused.
Instead of answering Wayne's half-whispered question, Leon stepped closer to Aaron who was sitting not far from him with a big smile.
"Aaron Sean Connery! It is amazing that we can meet at this place. How are you, sir," Leon greeted kindly as he extended his hand towards Aaron who was sitting.
"Very well, you also seem to be getting more and more impressive, Mr. Ganke," answered Aaron quickly as soon as he got up from his chair to greet Leon.
Leon, who didn't know that Aaron also liked Anne, really thought of Aaron as a business partner, so he excitedly grabbed Aaron's hand and glanced at Rose, who was sitting next to Aaron. "I seem to have missed a lot of interesting information about you, sir."
Aaron pursed his lips. He understood what Leon was talking about. After Leon released Aaron's grip and introduced Rose as his girlfriend, Daniel who was drinking almost choked at what Aaron said. Luckily, he managed to control himself, so he didn't embarrass himself when Aaron called Rose his girlfriend.
Having the same intention, Leon finally shared the table with Aaron and dined together. He laughed out loud when discussing the development of his business in London. As a film entrepreneur, Leon was indeed very intelligent. The new breakthroughs he launched for Ganke Inc Production were huge successes in the market and were able to compete with other industrial houses. So the name Ganke Inc Production managed to align with other production houses and Aaron was very aware of it, so he tried not to get into trouble with Leon.
"Oh yes sir, I haven't seen Mrs. Ganke since earlier. Did you just come to Tromso with your assistant and subordinates?" Aaron asked curiously.
"I come here with my wife, it's just that she was in the room. You know women, they get too excited until finally too exhausted and went to bed early," Leon replied lying.
"You will also feel it when you are married, Mr. Connery," added Leon, glancing at Rose, teasing Aaron.
Aaron laughed. He then wrapped his arms around Rose's waist. "My lover is a hard worker, Mr. Ganke, it seems that if only for small things, she will not get tired easily."
"Really! Wow! You are very lucky, Mr. Connery. I will really look forward to an invitation from you, sir," Leon said with a smile.
Leon's words were met with a big laugh from Aaron who didn't take his hand off Rose. They finished the dinner full of laughter. Leon, who didn't think of Aaron as a rival, really treated him well. He was even the one paying for their dinner bills. After dinner, their conversation continued to the bar at the Radisson Blu Hotel.
"Leonardo Ganke. I know this man doesn't get along with his wife, Daniel. So if he says his wife is coming with him, I doubt it." Rose whispered to Daniel, who was sitting next to her. Her eyes were still glaring at Aaron and Leon, who were sitting at the bar with Wayne and the rest of Leon's men.
Daniel put the empty glass in his hand on the table. "Even though it's not a happy marraige, that evil woman will definitely go with him, Rose, believe me."
Rose raised an eyebrow. "Evil woman?"
"Yes, Stefanny Ganke is a crazy ambitious evil woman. She really likes Leonardo Ganke, Leonardo Ganke's money to be exact," Daniel replied with a smile as he remembered how crazy she was two years ago when she hurt Anne so many times.
"How do you know that, Daniel? She is a socialite, so it's only natural that her life is filled with luxury like that. After all, Leon is her husband, so it's okay if she spends her husband's money," said Rose flatly.
Daniel gestured to Rose so that the girl would come closer to him. Rose, who was already curious, then put her ear closer because Daniel wanted to whisper to her.
"That evil woman usurped the position of her best friend who was actually the rightful owner of her current position, Stefanny Ganke stabbed the back of the woman who helped her off the street. She seized the woman's husband and took the woman's position as Mrs Ganke."
Rose almost screamed when she heard Daniel's words. She didn't expect to get big news like this from Daniel. She was sure that if this news was published, her company's stock would skyrocket and Rose would get a promotion as editor in the office like she had always dreamed of.
"But you can't publicize this, Rose, because the boss won't allow it," Daniel added again.
"Aaron doesn't like it? Why? Is Aaron's relationship with Leonardo Ganke that good?"
Daniel looked back at Rose sharply. "It's not Boss' relationship with Leonardo Ganke, but Boss' relationship with Leonardo Ganke's ex-wife who was exiled."
Cough... ugh.
Rose choked, even though she wasn't drinking. Daniel's words really made her very surprised and confused.
"Aaron and Leonardo Ganke's ex-wife? What relationship did they have, Daniel, that Aaron doesn't like it if I publish the story about Stefanny Ganke taking the position of her best friend who already..."
"Leonardo Ganke's ex-wife is the first woman who managed to drive Boss almost crazy for over a year. From these past two years, Rose, he became a cold, heartless man before he finally met you." Daniel immediately cut off Rose's words.
