<h4>Chapter 177 - Leonardo Ganke''s Cunning Wits</h4>
It had been four days and Anne still had to take her final semester exam which ended today. She, who had known the materials well, didn''t have any difficulties at all. For him, all the questions were still too easy, but that didn''t apply to Linda and several other students. Every time the exam was over, there were always whining sounds from the students who were annoyed because they had difficulty in answering the questions and Anne would only smile every time she heard the whining from her friends, like thest exam today.
Edward, who had left his ss five minutes ago, went straight to Anne, who was tidying her belongings and was getting ready to go with Linda. They both nned to dine out with Paul, who had prepared everything at the flower shop as a celebration of thest day of the exam.
"Hi Anne," Edward greeted Anne in a friendly manner.
"Hi Edward," said Anne quietly.
"Do you have a minute? There''s something important I want to talk to you about," Edward asked quickly.
Instead of answering the question of Edward who was standing in front of her, Anne turned to Linda who was beside her. A small nod from Linda made Anne was willing to talk to Edward.
After walking away a bit from the crowd of other students, Anne asked, "What''s so important, Edward?"
"I don''t really know whether this is important to you or not, Anne, but it''s definitely important to me," Edward answered enigmatically.
"Well, how do I know it''s important or not, Edward, you didn''t tell me anything. So how can I know it''s important or not, you''re weird," said Anne quickly.
"This rtes to the internship offer at Ganke Inc. Production, Anne. I have heard from Professor Gilbert that you rejected the offer. And I also just received an information from Mr. Ganke a few minutes ago that if you don''t want to ept the offer, then I can''t do the internship there, because our campus is considered as unprofessional, Anne. Honestly, this is very surprising for me personally, Anne, I really want this position. That''s why I need your help. Can''t you consider that offer, Anne?" Edward asked at length.
Thump!
"What do you mean you can''t go in there if I don''te with you, Edward?" asked Anne, surprised.
Edward took a deep breath hearing Anne''s question. He then told the news he got from Leonardo Ganke this morning. While Edward was talking, Anne didn''t take her eyes off of Edward. She really couldn''t believe what Edward had just said.
"So-so the point is that if I don''t do an internship there, then you won''t be able to do the internship and our campus will get sued by thepany?" asked Anne in a rising voice.
"Yes, Mr. Leonardo Ganke spoke to me like that this morning and honestly his words made me uneasy. Fortunately, today my exam was not too heavy because it was only a practical exam. I can''t imagine if today''s exam is a written exam, maybe I won''t be able to do it. Hearing this news from Mr. Ganke, honestly it doesn''t make sense to me, Anne. I don''t mind if I can''t work there, it''s just that I feel sorry for the campus that has to get into the problem, Anne," Edward replied again, repeating his words before
"Sly, you never changed, Leon," Anne hissed annoyed.
Thump!
"Did you know Mr Ganke before, Anne?" Edward asked quickly when he heard Anne mention Leonardo Ganke directly.
"No, I''m just pissed off, Edward. He''s really sneaky, it turns out the free three-day vacation to Irnd isn''t really free after all. He already has other ns to make this campus feel indebted to him, so he can do whatever he wants here," answered Anne quietly.
"Well, I thought that way too, Anne, I also feel that the gift of the free holiday for three days to Irnd back then was not without reason. I''m sure that he must have other ns behind the free vacation that he gave to this campus. No businessman would be willing to squander money for free like that without a big goal, Anne," Edward added quickly.
"You noticed that too, Edward, that''s why I chose not to go because I felt something was odd. And it turns out that all my suspicions are proven now. That damn businessman really doesn''t want to lose and is very cunning," Anne said, full of emotion. Her hatred for Leon was piling up higher.
"Yes, you''re right, he made this campus owe him. Arrgghh! I''m sorry I went yesterday Anne," Edward said regretfully.
Anne was silent hearing Edward''s words. She still didn''t expect that Leon still didn''t give up on making her work at hispany. Even after she blocked Leon''s cell phone number, which always bothered her. Now Leon used another way to get her to join Ganke Inc Production.
Drrrtt
Drrrtt
The vibration from the cell phone in her bag made Anne wake up from her thoughts on Leon''s sneaky acts. Anne quickly took her cell phone and immediately smiled when she saw the name of the caller appearing on her cell phone screen.
"I''m sure Professor Gilbert will definitely discuss this with me, Edward," said Anne quietly while showing Edward the screen of her cell phone where the name of Professor Gilbert appeared.
"What are you going to do, Anne?" Edward asked quietly.
"I don''t know, I don''t know, I''m still thinking about what to do, Edward. I''m still very shocked," answered Anne quietly while receiving the call from Professor Gilbert.
Hearing Anne''s words made Edward silent. He actually had no problem if he didn''t work at Ganke Inc Production as a music director, he just didn''t think that Leonardo Ganke would sue the campus if they refused to work at hispany.
Meanwhile, Anne seemed to be nodding her head repeatedly while talking on the phone with the professor. Apparently, Professor Gilbert said what Edward had said before. He even apologized to Anne for not expecting it to turn out like this. He felt sorry for Anne for indirectly forcing her to agree to Leonardo Ganke''s request.
"Don''t worry about it, Professor, I have already decided that I will ept the offer from Mr. Ganke. So you don''t have to feel guilty to me, also, I didn''t do this for the campus. I really did this because I wanted to work there," said Anne quietly, trying to calm Professor Gilbert who had been apologizing to her profusely.
"I really didn''t expect this to happen. Anne, sorry for bringing you into the picture," Professor Gilbert replied ruefully.
"Don''t keep apologizing like that, Prof, I know what you''re doing is for the good of the campus and I''m also sure that you never expected this to happen. So stop ming yourself. After all, I''ve also received that offer from Mr Ganke, but it''s just that we were having an exam, that''s why I haven''t told you about this. This week, I chose to focus on the exam first, Professor. That''s why I haven''t given an answer to Mr Ganke yet," said Anne again.
"So you really want to ept the offer from Mr. Ganke, Anne?" asked Professor Gilbert in disbelief.
"Yes, Professor," answered Anne shortly.
"Oh God, thank you, Anne, thank you. Well then now I will..."
"Let me speak to him directly, Professor," said Anne quickly cutting off Professor Gilbert''s words.
"Well if that''s what you want, thank you again, Anne. This campus and I owe you, Anne," Professor Gilbert said again.
Anne just smiled at Professor Gilbert''s words. Not long after that, the phone call with Professor Gilbert ended. Anne then sat on a chair not far from where she was standing. Edward took a deep breath when he saw Anne sat down. He had heard Anne''s words with Professor Gilbert.
"Are you okay, Anne?" Edward asked quietly.
"Yeah, I''m fine," said Anne shortly.
Anne closed her lips tightly and again cursed Leonardo Ganke in her heart.
"You are really annoying, Leon. At first, I had intended to stay away and forget what you did to me back then. It seems I really have to teach you a lesson, Leon." Anne thought quietly full of hatred.
