Love Worth Fighting For

Chapter 21: Dark side

After being in Christian’s room for almost an hour, Elena finally sat down, Christian had really worked on her. Christian deliberately discussed unimportant things in order to keep Elena in his room, fortunately Kainer came to remind Christian that today they had to go to a subsidiary of Clarke Enterprise which is engaged in jewelry, Clarke house of Jewel. Even though Christian is gone, Elena’s suffering doesn’t end. Because before leaving, Christian had given Elena three piles of files to tidy up. In less than two hours, the two hours Christian gave Elena was the time limit for being out of the office. As a person who is always calculating, Christian really value ??time.

As soon as Christian and Kainer disappear behind the elevator, Elena goes straight to work. The first thing she did was read through the pile of files, sorting out which one to work on first.

“Thank you, I will immediately ask the finance department to send an invoice for proof of booking as soon as possible. Good afternoon.”

Elena put the phone down carefully, continued to talk to several hotel receptionists and restaurant managers making Elena’s ears hurt a little at this time. Making a meeting schedule for a Christian Clarke is really difficult, there are too many conditions that Christian wants so Elena has to be careful in booking a place.

“It’s just your first day at work, why are you so busy?”

Elena who was reading the last file immediately looked up at the source of the voice.

“Andy.” The young man standing in front of Elena’s desk reached out while saying his name.

.....

“Elena.” Elena was a little awkward answering the introductions made by her senior.

“Is Mr. Clarke here?” Andy asked quietly and carefully as if afraid that his voice would disturb the master in the room.

Elena shook her head. “Nothing, thirty minutes ago he went with Kainer to inspect a subsidiary of Clarke Enterprise, Clarke house of Jewel.”

“I see, what a shame.”

“What is going on?”

“I have to ask for his signature for this payment proposal, Elena. The deadline is this afternoon, dealing with the tax person is really difficult,” Andy replied slowly while showing the file in his hand to Elena, it was clear that Andy was very disappointed at this time because couldn’t find Christian.

“How about you leave the file with me, later when Mr. Clarke comes back I will immediately ask for his autograph and contact you as soon as this file is finished.” Elena kindly offered to help.

Andy’s eyes that previously looked sad immediately lit up. “Really? You could do that for me, Elena?”

Elena nodded slowly. “Yeah, I’m Mr Clarke’s secretary after all, wouldn’t it be natural for me to do this?”

“Oh Elena you are my savior...thank you Elena, thank you.”

“Don’t overdo it, Andy.”

Andy smiled and stood up straight again. “Okay, I’ll leave this file to me, then just contact the finance department and say my name. In a short time I will come.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Andy didn’t answer Elena’s words anymore, considering the existence of the two best quality CCTV in that place made Andy unable to linger near Elena. He still needs this job.

After Andy leaves, Elena goes back to reading Christian’s file. Just like before, Elena had to do it with great patience. The scribbles in the notes written by Christian make Elena have to think hard while reading it, Christian’s handwriting is very bad and barely legible, which is the exact opposite of the perfection that Christian always wants to get.

“I should have brought that naughty girl to this place, she usually has a pretty good taste in judging things.” Christian murmurs softly regretting his decision to come alone with Kainer to the Jewelry company which is still under the auspices of Clarke Enterprise.

“This is our flagship necklace this month, sir. The Oceana,” said a female manager to Christian, pointing to a glass case containing a sky blue diamond necklace in which there were several crystal grains that gave a water-like effect.

“The Ocean.”

“That’s right, sir. The name of this necklace is taken from the name of the sea. And this necklace will soon become a new trend this year, because many celebrities have ordered online,” explained the manager again, explaining the popularity of The Oceana to the owner of the company. .

Christian purses his lips. “Good, is there anything else you guys want to launch this month?”

The manager nodded quickly, the woman excitedly then took Christian to the storage area for some other jewelry that will be launched early next month with The Oceana. While walking to the storage area, Christian whispers to Kainer to get the first print of The Oceana to take home. As usual, when his jewelry company releases the latest collection, Christian always takes the first print to take home. For the past three years, Christian’s collection of expensive and exclusive jewelry has almost filled his personal safe at home.

When Christian left Clarke house of Jewel, dozens of paparazzi had gathered, they immediately took aim at Christian with their camera to get the best photo of the best young CEO. It’s not only his achievements that are interesting to talk about, Christian’s love story, which is rarely exposed to the media, is also something that is no less interesting to watch. Therefore the news hunters immediately came to Clarke House of Jewel as soon as they knew a Christian Clarke was coming.

“Where would you like to have lunch, sir?” Kainer asks politely to Christian, who has just put on his sunglasses to avoid the flash of the camera hitting him.

“I want to eat at the office, order food at the usual restaurant.”

Kainer nodded politely. “Very well, young master. I will contact the restaurant immediately.”

Christian who had arrived in front of his car smiled in response to Kainer’s words, because many women shouted seeing Christian’s smile so Christian decided to stand for a moment beside his car looking at the people while giving the paparazzi soft food to get as many photos as they wanted.

“If you were here maybe I would feel more comfortable dealing with these reporters, Suri,” Christian said to himself. “My smile for these reporters might be wider, where are you Suri?”
