Love Worth Fighting For

44 Promise

During the emergency meeting, Elena sat very uneasy. She is constantly looking for a good sitting position, her buttocks aching after Christian’s rough drop from her body onto the sofa when suddenly Kainer comes back into Christian’s room. Christian, who was focused on listening to the defense of the financial staff, didn’t notice Elena’s discomfort, even though earlier Elena had fallen on the sofa but it still hurt Elena.

Because the finance staff are proven to be cheating, Christian firmly orders Kainer to call the police. Christian, who is famous for hating traitors, immediately took action against six financial staff who had worked with him for a long time, screams of mercy could be heard filling the lobby of the Clarke Enterprise main building when the six employees were dragged into a police car.

“That is punishment for those who dare to betray Clarke Enterprise,” Christian said loudly in front of his employees who were in the lobby. “I hope this incident will serve as a lesson to you guys, so you guys will think twice about cheating on Clarke Enterprise.”

After saying that Christian then walked to the car that was waiting for him in front of the lobby, as the person who had been harmed Christian was asked to come to the police station to provide further information.

“Elena!” Christian shouts from inside his car, calling for Elena who is still frozen by the elevator.

Elena, who was in pain, immediately raised her face to look at Christian who had just called her name.

“Hurry in!”

Not only Christian, all the staff in the lobby looked at Elena with an indescribable look. They were not comfortable being the center of attention, Elena rushed over to Christian who was already sitting in his car. Impatient, Christian then grabbed Elena’s hand roughly to get into the car. Luckily Elena’s head didn’t hit the top of the car door.

“Ouchh ..”

.....

“So slow, like a granny,” Christian quipped curtly, ignoring the moans of pain that escaped Elena’s lips.

Elena who was in pain did not respond to Christian’s words, Elena tried her best not to cry. All she wanted right now was to finish her work today and immediately rest at home, on her comfortable bed to relieve the pain in her butt.

“Wait for my revenge, Christian. See you later,” said Elena in her heart.

Luckily Christian’s car seat is very soft, so Elena feels comfortable. The pain that had previously bitten her buttocks gradually disappeared, Elena didn’t know if the car seat she was sitting in was specially made by Christian’s order. Anyone who sits in the car will feel comfortable because the seat has advanced technology that can relieve soreness and discomfort, that’s why the pain in Elena’s butt is gradually disappearing.

“You brought all the files that were used for the meeting, didn’t you?” Christian asks quietly, breaking the silence.

Elena, who was lost in thought was immediately taken aback. “Y..yes, sir. I brought all the files that were used for the meeting, I even carried the financial statements of the last six months on my laptop.”

“Good, with all that evidence the petty thieves can’t do anything now,” Christian says flatly.

“It’s just a small matter, sir. Actually you don’t have to go down directly, we still have us to take care of...”

“Small matter.” Christian cuts Elena off quickly. “This is no small matter, Elena. These people have stolen money that should belong to other employees. For me, who has been rich since birth, the money is indeed a small amount. But for other employees it’s a different story, in the money they take there is other employees’ hard work. Therefore I have to fight for their rights, as a superior I must take full responsibility for the welfare of my employees. So I will continue to hold these thieves accountable.”

Elena holds her breath as Christian speaks, this time Christian speaks very close to her face. Their noses even touched each other.

“Do you understand?”

Elena, who didn’t dare to open her mouth nodded her head slowly in response to Christian’s words, her eyes blinking a few times at Christian who was so close to her. Being so close to Christian again made Elena’s heart beat ten times faster than usual. Christian has really messed with her feelings.

Since Elena didn’t answer his words, Christian then took his body away from Elena and sat back quietly as if nothing had happened. Never having a female secretary for more than three days makes Christian sometimes treat Elena like a man, which is why Christian has spoken harshly to Elena several times. From the front, Kainer just took a deep breath, he didn’t dare to interrupt Christian’s conversation and chose to let Elena face the sensitive Christian alone. Elena must learn how to deal with the wild mountain lion alone.

Areez Mansion, Auckland, New Zealand.

“Don’t be crazy, Areez!” cried Suri loudly. “Being in South Australia for a week is already making your brain crazy, isn’t it?”

Areez smiled a little. “Didn’t you already call me insane, huh? Then why now ask me again whether I’m sane or not, hm?’

“Areez Floyen!!”

“Yes honey...”

“Don’t call me honey, I don’t love you!” Suri snapped loudly. “Immediately cancel all your crazy plans, because I will never marry you. I’ll only marry the man my Daddy and brother choose.”

Areez’s lips thinned. “I’m not forcing you to marry, Mira. All we’re doing right now is an engagement party, I just want to tie you up in a more serious relationship.”

“You’re completely insane, Areez. Is this confinement not enough to satisfy you? Everything you did to me was a crime, Areez. I can sue you and imprison you for a long time for your actions.”

“I’m not holding you, Mira. I give you a comfortable place to live, I also provide good food and provide for your other needs. How could this be called confinement? What I’m doing is an attempt to protect my future wife from...”

“Wife-to-be, who are you calling a future wife, huh! I’m not your future wife, I’m not your lover so don’t dream because it will never happen, you remember that we’ll. Never will.” Suri cut Areez’s words quickly while throwing the engagement ring that Areez had prepared hard on the floor. “And my name is Suri, Suri Mireya not Mira. That ugly name you always say.”

Instead of being angry, Areez actually smiled broadly at Suri’s rejection. “Sooner or later you will love me, Mira. I’m the only man who will be your husband, I swear.”

“Keep dreaming, Areez. Because I will never marry you!”
