Love Worth Fighting For

72 Christian trik

Christian smiled reading the message sent by his mother, after leaving the meeting room an hour ago Christian decided to leave the meeting room because he couldn’t focus anymore. And just as he stepped out, his cell phone rang loudly because his mother, who was still in the hospital, contacted him to inform him of Suri’s progress.

Christian, who doesn’t want Suri’s problem to be known by others, then rushes back to his room to take his mother’s call. After an hour of serious talk, Anne then disconnected her phone with Christian because Suri’s last therapy session was over. Anne didn’t want to keep her daughter who had just returned from waiting for her too long.

“Thankfully, if this continues, Suri will be able to mingle with many people again,” Christian said to himself. “Thank God, thank you for making it easier for us to heal Suri.”

Fearing that a bad person will steal important data on his cellphone, Christian immediately deletes the photo that his mother just sent him. After three years of keeping Suri’s disappearance a secret, Christian and Jack agree not to make Suri public until she is fully prepared. Both agreed to heal Suri’s trauma first, the cheerful and smiling Suri Mireya had to come back again.

“It’s almost four o’clock...

Knock... knock..

“Come in.”

Kainer went straight into the boss’ room as soon as she got permission.

“Are you done?” Christian asked directly.

.....

Kainer nodded. “Yes, sir.”

Christian nodded slowly. “Good We can go home now then.”

“W..wait sir, there’s one bad news you must hear,” Kainer stuttered.

“Bad news, what’s the news?”

Kainer swallowed, her fingers gripping the tablet turned white. “Areez Floyen, he is currently on his way to Germany with his best friend Aldrich White.”

Christian’s expression immediately changed when he heard Areez’s name mentioned. “To Germany, what does he want to do in Germany?”

“The new Minister of Economy sworn in are uncles of Aldrich White, they came to Germany as invited guests to attend the celebration of George Z. White’s inauguration as the new German Minister of Economy.”

Silence... no response from Christian. And Kainer became more and more depressed, he said need to report further news or not. Right now Kainer could feel Christian’s killing aura was so great.

“Is there anything else you still want to tell me, Kainer?” Christian asks again, seeing Kainer’s confusion makes Christian believe that his best man still hasn’t finished reporting to him.

“Areez Floyen and his best friend Aldrich will also attend one of King Henry’s dinners.” Cainer timidly mentions King Henry’s name in his conversation with Christian, King Henry is the current king of Luxembourg.

Christian’s teeth chattered at Kainer’s second report, only the upper class and state guests could get a chance to attend the banquet with the King. And Christian has almost every six months to come to an event organized by his country’s leader actually does not feel jealous at all about the event, what bothers Christian at this time is Areez Floyen’s presence at the event. Since the incident at the restaurant a few weeks ago, Christian has decided to make Areez his enemy.

“When did the dinner take place?”

“Two more days, sir,” Kainer replied quickly.

Christian nods slowly, suddenly Christian’s body stiffens. His eyes immediately reddened.

“What is it sir?” asked Kainer worriedly.

“Elena, we have to go to Elena’s place right now, Kainer.”

Kainer frowned. “Elena, you mean Elena Wilson, the ex-secretary you fired...”

“I didn’t fire her,” Christian replies quickly, as fast as he moves into the suit he’s just pulled from the back of his chair. “Hurry up Kainer, let’s go to Elena’s home.”

Even though she still didn’t understand what purpose the master wanted to come to Elena, Kainer didn’t dare to ask any further. With half a run, Kainer followed Christian who had arrived at the elevator, the two of them went straight into the elevator that was already open. While in the elevator, Christian tries to contact Elena. However, his intention to ask Elena to get ready was canceled when he remembered that Elena still blocked his cellphone number.

“Damn, that girl needs to be taught some manners,” Christian growls in annoyance, his brows knitting together.

Despite knowing that Christian and Elena’s relationship was heating up, Kainer chose to stay on the neutral side. He didn’t want to side with either of them.

As the elevator doors open, Christian quickly steps out. Several staff who also just got out of the elevator immediately stopped their steps to make way for the CEO who was walking to his car. Even though they have seen Christian many times, the female staff who work at Clarke Enterprise are still hypnotized by his extraordinary charm. The handsomeness and charm that Christian exudes really makes all women who see him captivated, Christian who was born into a wealthy family is still endowed with perfect physical beauty. Truly the envy of many.

“Have you contacted Elena in the past four days, Kainer?” Christian asks quietly, breaking the silence in the car.

Kainer was instantly tensed. “Of course not, sir. I wouldn’t have dared to contact Elena without your orders, especially since you’ve fired Elena.”

“I didn’t fire Elena, I just gave her a day off.” Christian evades if he is called to fire Elena. “And tomorrow morning she will join us again.”

“Tomorrow morning?” Kainer looks in the rearview mirror, looks at Christian who is sitting in the backseat.

Christian nodded. “Yes and tonight I want to ask her to stay in the apartment to prepare for the meeting tomorrow morning.”

“Pardon?”

“I want to ask Elena to prepare documents for tonight’s meeting, so that tomorrow morning is not in a hurry. I don’t want the slightest mistake with the precious stone vendors,” Christian said again, explaining why he wanted to pick up Elena to stay at one of his apartments that night. Although that’s not really the main reason, the reason Christian wants to make Elena spend the night at his apartment is related to Areez.

When hearing the news that Areez will come to Luxembourg after his visit to the house of the new German Economy minister makes Christian uneasy, Christian is reminded of Areez’s words that that night offered Elena a job. That’s why at this moment Christian asks Kainer to take him to Elena’s house.

Because the streets are not that busy, in just twenty minutes Christian has arrived back at the house and place of business for Elena’s parents. Elena, who was helping her mother make the dough, instantly froze when she saw Christian reappearing at her house. Oh God...

“What else?” asked Elena in annoyance. “It’s still seven o’clock in the evening, I still have a few hours to come to the office tomorrow morning, sir.”

Christian purses his lips to see Elena’s face filled with flour. “We have to prepare the file tonight, I’m afraid if we prepare it tomorrow morning it won’t be finished.”

“But sir...”

“Clean yourself up, you have ten minutes.”

Elena’s eyes opened wide. “Sir!!!!”

“Ok, thirty minutes. All you need is a clean shower and wear proper clothes, no need to use make up because tonight we will be working late and one more thing don’t forget to bring a change of clothes for tomorrow morning. I’m afraid we will work until tomorrow morning,” Christian said at length without guilt.

Elena shakes her head, she can’t believe what Christian just said. The blue eyed man in front of her was completely out of his mind, after dismissing her harshly now he came to ask her to work late tonight. Elena was completely speechless, Christian Clarke who was admired by many people was really mentally disturbed.

“Come on.” Christian speaks again, breaking Elena’s thoughts. “Hurry up and take a shower, unless you want to take a shower at my place it’s fine. But you have to put a mat to sit in my expensive car so you don’t get the flour stuck to your body.”

Elena stomped her feet on the ground, then without another word Elena went up to her room, leaving her work unfinished.

“Is there any important business to attend to tonight Mr. Clarke?” asks Elena’s father from behind the table that limits himself to Christian.

Christian takes a deep breath, putting on a sad expression. “Had Elena been at work these four days maybe this kind of thing wouldn’t have happened.”

***

Elena stood silently staring at the room she was currently in. Being picked up forcibly without being given a detailed explanation made Elena not have time to ask where the boss would take her, who had been smiling ever since she got in the car.

“Sit down Elena, are you going to keep standing like that?” Christian says quietly from behind the bar counter asking Elena to sit down.

Elena, who was looking around the room, then turned to Christian, who had just finished speaking. “Why did you bring me to this apartment, sir? You’re not in the mood to do anything bad, are you?”

Christian laughed amused, carrying two bottles of wine he came out of the mini bar to the sofa which was not far from Elena. “We’re here to work...”

“Work is what you have in mind right now, just like the ‘work’ I’m thinking about, isn’t it?” Elena cuts Christian off boldly.
