Love Worth Fighting For

Chapter 18: Same habit

Getting unpleasant treatment from his former prospective employee Christian’s blood rose, without taking his eyes off the bus that Elena had just boarded, Christian quickly contacted Kainer who was still in the office.

“Find out all the information about the incompetent secretary I fired,” Christian says hoarsely.

“The secretary you fired?”

“Her name is ELENA WILSON.” Christian spells Elena’s name perfectly, having above average intelligence makes Christian easily remember someone’s name with just one reading.

At his desk, Kainer nearly choked on her own saliva. He couldn’t believe what his master had just said. “Are you serious, young master?”

Christian smirks at Kainer’s hoarse voice. “I’m serious, I need you to call her to the office tomorrow morning to see me.”

“But sir, I have destroyed Miss Elena Wilson’s file as per your instructions. So it will be quite difficult to...”

.....

“Use all the resources at our disposal to get that woman to work with me, Luxembourg is not as big as Switzerland, Kainer. I’m sure you will. easily found that impudent girl,” Christian said quietly cutting off Kainer’s words.

Kainer gasped, her body instantly stiff at the emphasis of every word Christian had just said.

“Your time is ticking, Kainer. The sooner you do the task I gave you, the sooner you’ll find that girl,” Christian says again before finally hanging up the phone without permission.

Kainer, who had been silent for a few seconds, finally came to his senses, without making a sound, Kainer began to do the task his master had just given him to find and bring Elena Wilson before Christian Clarke.

After giving orders to Kainer to bring Elena to him in the morning, Christian rushes into the car and quickly leaves the place where he was slapped for the first time in his life. A slap by a low-class woman who did not know herself for daring to confront Christian Clarke.

Areez Floyen Mansion, Auckland, New Zealand.

Brak..

Brak..

Brak...

Dozens of shopping bags of various brands whose contents were still scattered on the floor, the main cause, of course, was Suri. Suri, who was forcibly brought home by Areez this morning, was annoyed that Areez always forced her to do everything the man wanted her to do.

Like this time, Suri was asked to try on suitable jewelry to be paired with a party dress that was ready for her to wear. Apart from having taken away her freedom as an independent human being, Areez also always makes Suri like a doll. Which he can decorate to his heart’s content. Suri was really fed up, her patience with Areez the very annoying noble lord was already at the bottom of the abyss. Suri had no patience left in her at this time. Areez has really gone too far.

“Don’t like it? Don’t you like the model? Or...”

“I don’t like you, damn it! You are the source of all the bad luck in this world!” Horrible and certainly inappropriate curses escaped from Suri’s tiny lips for Areez who was already standing in the middle of the door to Suri’s now messy room.

Instead of being angry, a warm smile actually grew on Areez’s face at this time. “Is this the lesson you learned during your two weeks at the Academy?”

“Areez, can’t you talk in a normal way like everyone else?” Suri asked frustrated, every mess she had made was just in vain. Areez was not tempted to get angry at all, as if his patience was made for him of steel. “Don’t treat me like this, I’m not a doll that you can decorate as you like. I have my own life, Areez. I have a family...”

“I’m your family,” Areez said briefly cutting Suri’s words without guilt.

Jesus, what kind of trial is this?

Suri massaged her forehead which was sore, she had been angry since two hours ago making her head dizzy.

“What I said is true, in my important letter your name is there...”

“My name?”

Ares nodded slowly. “Yes, Mira Johnson.”

“I told you for the millionth time that my name is Suri Mireya, not Mira.”

“So if I change your name on my surname certificate to your weird name then...”

“Your weird name, Areez! My name is way classier than that!”

Areez smiled a little. “We have ended the debate about this name, time is running out and you must be ready immediately. The invited guests have started to arrive, I’ll be waiting downstairs.”

After saying that, Areez without guilt walked away leaving Suri and her maid who had not dared to raise their heads since Areez was talking to Suri.

“I hate you, Areez!” Suri screamed loudly before finally her voice was left in her own room because the maids who were guarding in front of her room immediately closed the door of the room as soon as Areez came out.

“Miss Mira...”

Suri immediately turned her face towards the maid who called her by the name Mira. “My name is Suri, you’re not deaf, are you?”

“S-sorry Miss, we didn’t dare.”

Suri stomped her feet on the glistening white granite floor in annoyance. “You better get out, I’m going to take a shower.”

“But we are here ordered by Mr Areez to help you prepare, Miss. Have pity on us, Miss. We could lose our lives if we ignore your orders.”

Suri’s head hurts even more when she hears the words of her new maid, Areez regularly changes Suri’s personal maid every two weeks when Suri is at home. This is done by Areez to break the intimacy between Suri and her servants, Areez doesn’t want to be fooled twice where six months ago Suri managed to get out of the house because of the help of the maid who was tempted by Suri’s seduction. Even though Suri was finally recaptured, Areez’s trauma from the incident still lingers. That’s why he doesn’t want to make the same mistake, it’s better to prevent than regret is the motto that Areez has been holding lately.

“Miss...”

“Ok..ok... you can help me get ready, but I want to take a bath myself,” said Suri curtly, unable to bear to see the faces of the three young maids who were as pale as paper, finally making Suri obey Areez’s wish to let the maids help her.

“Yes Miss, fine. We will be waiting for you outside,” the three young maids answered simultaneously.

Suri, who was very tired, immediately stepped into the bathroom which was not much different from her bathroom at home. Suri’s room at Areez’s house is still much bigger than her room in Switzerland. But even so, Suri feels more comfortable in her own room than in Areez’s big house, which feels very tense when the night begins to come.

Even though she’s known Areez for three years, Suri still doesn’t know the man’s true nature. Areez is always patient when dealing with all of Suri’s miraculous qualities, but if the servants in his house make a mistake the man does not hesitate to release a bullet from his gun.

“Another annoying dance party,” said Suri quietly. “I’m so sick of being in that damn noble Areez’s house!”

Knock..

Knock...

“Miss Mira, Mr. Areez asks you to finish your activities in the bathroom, Miss,” said a waiter from behind the door, her voice hoarse, sounding panicked.

Suri, who had finished taking a bath five minutes ago, then got up from the bathtub. Suri then wrapped her body with a large towel and rushed out of the bathroom.

The faces of the three maids who had made Suri’s room tidy again looked relieved when they saw Suri had come out of the bathroom.

“Please go to the walk-in closet, Miss. We will help you get dressed.”

Suri rolled her eyes, embarrassed. She snorted in annoyance, even for wearing clothes she was not allowed to do herself. Areez, the god of bloodlust in Greek mythology seems to be suitable for this mentally ill man.

Arriving at the walk-in closet, Suri spread her arms, allowing the three maids to strip naked before finally helping her put on her clothes.
