Love Worth Fighting For

Chapter 39: Challenging

Elena, who didn’t expect Areez to bring up what she had done last night, dropped the fork in her hand making a sound so loud it made Kainer and Christian who were looking at Areez turn their eyes to Elena at the same time.

“What do you mean, Elena?” Christian asks coldly.

“Answer Elena, tell your great boss. So he won’t blame anyone else again if you get sick again,” Areez says again provoking Christian again.

Christian’s face is getting redder at Areez’s words, his hands on the table are even clenched into fists. Shows how angry he is right now.

And Areez, who was already standing next to Christian’s table, seemed to really enjoy the results of his fishing, seeing Christian angry giving Areez its own pleasure.

“Elena,” Christian growls warningly.

Elena who had no other choice finally said what she had done last night, at first Christian didn’t believe it but after Elena showed proof of the junk food purchase transaction, Christian finally looked a little calm even though he still looked so angry.

.....

“I have an offer for you, Elena,” Areez said again. “My company is in need of a manager and I would be very happy if you would join me, don’t worry I’m not the type of dictator boss. So don’t be afraid, I can guarantee you will never get sick if you work with me.”

Elena’s face reddened at Areez’s words, even though she didn’t know the truth of Areez’s words, but Elena was sure that Areez said that to provoke Christian.

“I will also give you five times your current salary,” Areez added.

“Areez Floyen!” Christian snaps loudly all of a sudden. “I warn you, don’t mess with me.”

Elena, who didn’t expect to hear Christian scream that loud, immediately clenched her fists while lowering her head, even though the screams weren’t directed at her but Elena felt so scared.

Areez who doesn’t feel guilty just smiles a little at Christian’s stern warning, instead of ending his provocation to Christian without fear Areez steps over to Christian who has stood up from his chair. Areez stopped in his tracks when he was barely a few inches away from Christian.

“Give me a warning? What did I do wrong? I just gave Elena a job offer and that’s perfectly normal, nothing wrong, right?” Areez said quietly while putting on an innocent angelic face.

“You didn’t know that Elena was my secretary?”

Areez nodded quickly. “I know, of course I know. I also clearly remember what you said yesterday which said that you had spent quite a lot of money because your secretary suddenly got sick,” Areez answered quickly by continuing to give Christian provocative sentences.

Hearing that, Elena immediately raised her face to look at Areez, she looked confused by Areez’s words. And Areez who is trying to provoke the fire of enmity with Christian seems to know what is in Elena’s head at this time, with still a sweet smile Areez said, “Your bos, he told me yesterday that he was annoyed with me for making him spend quite a lot of money for his secretary is sick. That’s why I know when you’re sick.”

Christian grabs Areez by the collar in a swift motion, so fast that Areez can’t dodge. “I warn you, Areez Floyen. You will regret everything you did today, I swear you will never forget this incident. You have really crossed your line, Areez.”

Areez who doesn’t want to lose then grips Christian’s hand which is entrenched around his neck. “I’m not a child who would be frightened by a bluff, Clarke. I would be happy to wait for you to carry out all your threats, prove to me that Christian Clarke, who is respected more than the members of the Luxembourg kingdom, can not just talk nonsense.”

“You...” Christian’s lips trembled as he spoke, never before had anyone dared to challenge him so openly.

“Yeah, I’m waiting for you to prove everything you say, Christian Clarke,” Areez says so quietly that only Christian himself can hear.

After saying that Areez then forcibly pulled Christian’s hand down from his neck, even though he had to use a little force, Areez finally managed to free himself from Christian’s grip.

“My offer is still valid for you Elena, I will always be ready to welcome you in Auckland. You can think about it carefully,” Areez said back calmly without fear at Christian who stared at him like a savage predator ready to pounce on its prey, ignoring the murderous stares. Christian, who was so thick, Areez left the restaurant, followed by Aldrich, who had only been a spectator.

Christian who had been so provoked that he had almost chased Areez if Kainer didn’t act immediately, Kainer who could still think straight forbade her master to do anything reckless because it could cause big problems in the future. The image of Christian Clarke must be kept clean and Kainer must maintain it at all times.

“Give me all the data on that damn Floyen ASAP,” Christian says hoarsely.

Kainer nodded obediently. “Yes young master.”

“And you, Elena.” Christian immediately turned to look at Elena sharply.

Instantly Elena’s body tensed, she timidly lifted her face to look at Christian who had just called her name. “Yes sir...”

Christian clenched his jaw, without any warning suddenly Christian grabbed Elena’s hand and gripped it tightly saying “Come with me, we have many things to discuss in private.”

“Eh...”

Christian, who was already so angry, immediately forced Elena to leave Kainer in the restaurant alone, even though Elena was tall for a woman but still she was still far behind Christian who was so muscular and strong. That’s why Elena can only surrender when Christian continues to force her into the elevator that takes them up to their room, to Christian’s room to be precise. Because Christian wants to solve all his problems with Elena there.
