Chapter 263 - Approaching The Enemy

Chapter 263 - Approaching The Enemy

Leon, who was originally planning to go home, suddenly ordered his driver named Alex to go to a restaurant. He looked impatient when he received a message sent by Aaron Sean Connery's assistant named Daniel. Aaron had asked Leon to have dinner with him. Although his offer to cooperate was rejected, Leon was still excited to meet Aaron. He was sure there must be something important he needed to talk to Leon to the point where the CEO of Connery Corporation invited him for dinner.

Alex obediently followed the instructions given by his master, he didn't say much and immediately drove the car to the destination. After driving for almost twenty minutes, Leon arrived at the restaurant where Aaron asked him to come. Confidently, Leon walked into the five-star restaurant. Some waiters guarding the door greeted him in a friendly manner. After Leon said that he had an appointment to meet someone, a polite waiter escorted him to the table where Aaron and Daniel were already waiting.

"Ahh… I'm so sorry for coming late, Sir," Leon immediately greeted Aaron by apologizing for coming in late and made Aaron wait for him.

Aaron, who was enjoying the wine, smiled slightly when he saw Leon coming, he then put his wine glass on the table and got up to greet the guest. After greeting each other, Leon sat in front of Aaron and Daniel, they enjoyed the wine Aaron had ordered earlier while waiting for the food to arrive.

"Actually… I want to apologize for the mistake I made yesterday, Mr. Ganke. I hope you don't feel offended because I invited you to dinner so suddenly like this," Aaron spoke softly, starting a serious conversation.

"You don't have to apologize for it, Sir. Misunderstandings in business are common. Actually, it was my fault for not coming to the Connery Corporation to meet you, Sir," answered Leon while trying to be polite and friendly.

Aaron pursed his lips at Leon's words, he then grabbed the file beside his seat and placed it slowly on the table right in front of Leon. "This is a cooperation contract offer from Connery Corporation to join Ganke Inc Production, I made it myself. If you don't mind it, you can check it first to consider my offer, but if you don't want to accept the cooperation offer from my Connery Corporation…"

"There is no way I would reject it, Sir. How could I refuse this collaboration? I was actually very happy when you contacted me earlier and honestly, I never thought at all that you would offer this extraordinary opportunity, Sir. Ganke Inc Production is very lucky because Connery Corporation wants to join us. This is such an extraordinary opportunity," Leon cut Aaron's words, he was very happy because it turned out that Aaron Sean Connery had offered his company to cooperate with Aaron's company.

"Thank God if you still want to accept Connery Corporation's offer, Mr. Ganke. This is a new beginning for both of our companies. I hope that in the future everything will run smoothly and there will be no problems," Aaron answered slowly in response to Leon's words.

Their conversation was halted when several waiters came to bring the food that had been ordered before. After the delicious food was served by the waiters on their table, they started enjoying the dinner together. The sound of laughter sounded quite loud when Leon tried to be funny, he was very happy that his two target investors had managed to offer him a cooperation. Even though Ganke Inc Production's finances were actually very stable, the company still needed investors for the launch of this new film. Moreover, launching an animated film simultaneously in all theaters in the world required a lot of money. That was why he worked hard so that many investors would invest in this project.

Aaron also looked very happy that night, his plan to be closer to Anne was just one step away. Although until now he had not managed to get the proof that the man who would be his next partner was Anne's ex-husband. Aaron decided to stay close to Leon so that he could get a lot of information directly from him.

Meanwhile, Steffi looked very nervous while in a fast-food restaurant. Since an hour ago, she had been waiting for two private detectives she hired to stalk Anne. According to their promise, they were supposed to meet in the afternoon, but they didn't come until night.

"Damn it, I think I've been tricked by that damn detective," Steffi cursed emotionally. She didn't lose anything since she had not paid all the detectives' fees. She had only paid half of what the two detectives asked for. However, because of her curiosity about Anne, she became very upset.

As she was about to leave, Steffi's eyes suddenly caught the two men she met two days ago. They were walking towards her with big smiles on their faces. Steffi also welcomed the two men she knew from one of her socialite colleagues.

"I'm sorry we are late, Madam. There was a bit of trouble on the road. Our car broke down," said the one with glasses as he sat down in front of Steffi.

"It's okay, don't worry. The important thing is that you guys finally come. So, what did you find?" Steffi immediately asked about the task she gave to the two men she paid without hesitation.

The two detectives sighed at the same time, one of them then grabbed a slightly fat brown folder from inside the leather jacket he was wearing. "I apologize to you, Madam. It looks like we have to give up this task. We can't continue to work with you. It's not that we aren't capable of doing your task, it's just that we can't work for you anymore. We still have a lot of work to do."

"What he said is true, Madam. We forgot that we still have a task that can't be left behind. That's why we come to return the money you gave us earlier, Ma'am. You don't have to worry, we haven't touched the money at all. The amount is still the same as when you gave it to us," added the detective wearing glasses once his friend finished talking.

Hearing the words of the two men in front of her made Steffi angry. She was very upset because the two men she had paid for turned out to be refusing the job she asked for. "I've already paid you, after all, the task I've given you is not difficult. I just ask you to follow a woman named Marianne from my husband's office to where she lives. After that, all you have to do is call the person whose number I have given you so that he can continue the next task. This task is not difficult at all, right? Why do you refuse it? Is the money I gave you not enough huh?!" Steffi said angrily, her breath rose and fell, showing how angry she was now.

"We refuse the job to harm a good woman like her, Ma'am. We don't want to have anything to do with the police. We don't want to be in jail for this, Madam."

"Hey… watch your words, who are you calling a good woman huh? That woman named Marianne is a lowly whore. She tried to seduce my husband. She purposely worked in my husband's office to snatch him from me, to take away the title of Mrs. Ganke from me..."

Bruk

Suddenly, the private detective wearing glasses hit the table so hard that Steffi was shocked and couldn't finish her words.

Without feeling guilty after hitting the desk, the detective then got up and said, "We came only to return your money, not to listen to your blasphemy for that woman. Since our business is finished we will excuse ourselves now," he said coldly.

Since they felt that their business with Steffi had finished, the two detectives left her. They preferred to be by Jack's side for fear of Erick's previous threat.

"Arrggghh… you are a damn bitch, you are a whore Anne!!! You can get away from me now, but not the next time. Just you wait, Marianne. I'll destroy you. I'll make you feel ashamed for the rest of your life, don't ever dream of taking my place, Marianne. The title of Mrs. Ganke is mine, mine only."
