Chapter 200 - Steffi’s Arrogance

Chapter 200 - Steffi’s Arrogance

Anne, who just activated her cell phone after turning it off for three days while staying at Jack's house, received numerous messages from Aaron and Leon. Aaron kept asking her about her whereabouts, remained unanswered by Anne, and so were Leon's messages asking her about her condition. After Anne accidentally picked up the video call, Leon became very excited to call Anne again.

Linda and Paul, who were enjoying the pizza, were disturbed when they saw Anne was busy with her cell phone. Out of annoyance, Linda finally grabbed Anne's cell phone and put it in her clothes pocket.

"Lindaaaa..."

"No cell phone while eating, Anne, get used to it from now on," said Linda curtly with a mouth full of pizza made by Paul earlier.

"Yes, Miss, it's better to eat first before checking your cell phone," added Paul quickly, responding to his girlfriend's words.

Anne snorted in annoyance. Because she was not in the mood to argue with the two employees, Anne then cleaned her hands and started eating her pizza again. She chose to sit next to Linda, trying to find a way to take her cell phone again from Linda, but because Linda had safely stored Anne's cell phone, Anne couldn't easily take it back again.

As a result, as long as they ate the two pies with sausage and cheese topping, Anne didn't touch her cell phone at all. Anne was so immersed in the horror movie played by Paul and Linda. She could only be silent when she saw Linda was hugging Paul.

Meanwhile, in his new office, Leon seemed to be busy preparing a new office for Anne, who would start working in his office tomorrow to be part of the fashion illustrator team in the animated film he would be releasing this year. Leon seemed to immediately intervene to choose the table, chair and interior in Anne's new office room. He wanted to give all the best for Anne.

"Finally I can be close to you again, Marianne. This time I will not let you go. You have to come back to me again, Marianne. From the start you were my wife. So you have to come back to me," Leon spoke silently as he stood staring at the workers who were putting up wallpaper in Anne's new room which was right next to his.

The employees at work were very curious. They were guessing who would occupy the new office. The reason was that during their work for two weeks, this was the first time they had seen their boss directly supervise the project workers who were arranging the room for the mysterious employee.

Leon just left the new room for Anne after hearing Steffi's voice. Steffi, who just got out of the elevator, looked angry, because earlier there was one of the project workers that Leon was hiring to tidy up Anne's new room accidentally touched her arm. She felt disgusted to be touched by a dirty lowly worker like him. That was why she was angry in the elevator, when in fact there was no trace of any dirt left on her arm.

"Fire them, Leon, I don't want our new office to be filled with dirty people like them," Steffi sulked when she arrived in front of Leon.

"Who should I fire?" Leon asked confused.

"That lowly worker from earlier... ahh I know, it looks like the worker is a friend of those people who are lifting the chair!!" Steffi answered quickly while pointing at the workers who had just entered Anne's new office.

Leon reflexively turned towards where Steffi's hand was pointing. He took a deep breath when he realized Steffi was scolding the workers he had hired. Because he didn't want to make a fuss in front of the employees, he then invited Steffi into his private office. Fortunately, Steffi had been scolding in German since earlier, so the staff who heard Steffi's words did not understand what she was saying, including the project workers pointed by her.

"Don't act like that, Steffi, you're at the office. Watch your attitude, is it appropriate for a CEO's wife to act like that? Getting angry at the project workers I was hiring to tidy up the office like earlier, if someone understands German, won't that make your name bad in front of them," Leon said quietly, trying to advise Steffi. Seeing Steffi's increasingly arrogant attitude like that made Leon sick.

"I wouldn't be mad if they didn't do anything wrong, Leon," Steffi replied curtly to her husband's words.

Leon took a deep breath trying to be patient with the increasingly childish Steffi. "What have they done to you to make you this angry, Steffi?"

"Earlier, one of the workers I had kicked out had insolently touched my arm, Leon. You know that my hands are very smooth. I take good care of my body for you, Leon, I don't want someone lowly like that to touch my soft body," Steffi quickly answered the question from her husband in a spoiled tone, sulking, as she tried to win sympathy and praise from Leon as usual.

"Which part did the worker touch?" asked Leon lazily.

Steffi immediately showed her red left arm because she had been wiping it with a wet tissue for a long time. Steffi kept cleaning her hands with wet tissues because she thought the worker's hands were full of bacteria and viruses. So she kept rubbing her arm until it turned red.

Leon narrowed his eyes when he saw Steffi's hands turn red, "Until it's red like this? How did it happen?" Leon asked curiously.

Steffi then recounted what had happened moments ago in front of the elevator, when she passed a project worker who had just come down from the elevator and was carrying a cardboard box filled with trash from the rest of the wallpaper they had just put on Leon's orders in Anne's new room. Hearing Steffi's explanation, Leon massaged his forehead which suddenly hurt. He didn't expect that because of such a small thing, Steffi was furious. When, in fact, the project worker didn't actually touch Steffi's arm, he just accidentally touched Steffi's arm.

"And I have kicked the project worker out of our office," said Steffi proudly, ending her story.

"You kicked him out? What do you mean, Steffi?" Leon snapped in surprise.

"Yes, I kicked him out. I don't want people like that walking around in our office, Leon. After all, they're just lowly workers, so you don't have to think about them..."

"You're too much, Steffi!!!" Leon quickly cut off Steffi's words. After saying that, he then left his room and approached the project worker foreman who was still in Anne's room which had not been tidied up.

Leon then talked privately with the project foreman who had been looking confused for his subordinates who had been expelled by Steffi. After hearing Leon's explanation, the foreman looked relieved that his subordinates had not been running away from his work as he previously thought. Because he knew that the worker he was looking for was a diligent worker and not the type of person who could just let go of his responsibilities.

"Forgive me sir, forgive my worker if he has wronged Mrs. Ganke," said the foreman repeatedly with regret.

"No sir, this is not your subordinate's fault. This is just a misunderstanding and please forgive my wife's excessive attitude, she is actually kind, it's just that maybe she was surprised because she was accidentally touched by a man," Leon answered slowly, trying to apologize on behalf of Steffi, to the foreman who was now in front of him.

"Yes sir, I understand. After all, what Mrs. Ganke did was right. Because no woman wants to be touched by another man who is not her husband. You are lucky, sir, to have a wife like Mrs. Ganke who is very loyal to you," said the foreman, praising Steffi.

Leon just smiled at the words of the foreman who was in front of him right now. He accidentally looked behind him where at this time Steffi was standing while smiling kindly at him, who was talking to the foreman whose men were kicked out by Steffi. Apparently, since earlier, Steffi had heard the conversation between Leon and the foreman, and the foreman seemed to have been fascinated to see Steffi, who was very beautiful in her Chanel clothes and some branded items attached to her body, and that was why he praised Steffi like before.

Maybe if Leon had heard those compliments in the past, he would have been very happy and proud, but after he met Anne again in London, Leon felt sick of hearing compliments for Steffi, because he knew what kind of status she had.

"The more you act like this, the sooner I will give up the title of Mrs. Ganke that you have, Steffi, I will return the title of Mrs. Ganke to its original owner, Marianne," Leon thought quietly in silence. He was still very annoyed with what Steffi did to the project worker she had kicked out.
