Chapter 22
Chapter 22: Business Trip
As if not satisfied making Elena late for lunch and coming home late, Christian again surprises Elena.
“I’ve only worked one day, sir. How can I accompany you to go, isn’t there already Kainer accompanying you?” Elena speaks loudly when Christian selfishly asks her to accompany him to London tomorrow morning.
“There is a problem?”
“Oh my God, of course there is! I don’t have a passport eh, I mean my passport needs to be renewed besides that I also...”
“Kainer will take care of all your needs, all you need to do is arrive on time at the airport because it’s eight o’clock in the morning we’re leaving.” Christian grins with satisfaction as he reads the horror on Elena’s face. “Now you go home and rest... I forgot, there is a driver who will take you home tonight so you have no reason not to wake up late tomorrow morning because tonight you are going straight home.”
Elena really can’t argue with Christian, her new boss is so very authoritarian and indisputable. Christian seems to be able to read Elena’s lousy plans and will pretend to be up late from work until late.
“Take Elena to meet the driver,” Christian orders flatly without changing his annoying sitting position.
.....
Kainer nodded politely. “Yes, Sir.”
Elena, who still wants to protest to Christian, is forced to cancel her intention because Kainer has asked her out of Christian’s room.
“Tomorrow at seven in the morning there will be a driver to pick you up, Elena.” Kainer repeated Christian’s words when she was in the elevator with Elena.
“Kainer..”
“Mr. Clarke doesn’t like to be denied, Elena. And as his private secretary you should understand that.”
Elena shook her head, talking to Kainer was just as annoying as talking to Christian. Elena would really be caught up in the pitiless misfortune of being between Christian and Kainer.
As soon as Christian’s private elevator arrived in the basement, a young man who had parked his car right in front of the basement immediately bowed his head to pay respects to Kainer.
“Make sure Miss Elena Wilson arrives home safely, Sam,” Kainer said firmly to Elena’s private chauffeur.
“Yes Mr Kainer.”
Kainer nodded slowly giving Elena a code to get into the car, not long after that the black Range Rover Vogue car with the big C logo sped off at a fairly steady speed towards the highway. As soon as the car carrying Elena was out of sight, Kainer got back into the elevator to pick up Christian.
As soon as the elevator stopped, Kainer went straight out to Christian who was ready to go home, Kainer politely held the elevator door to guard Christian who was about to enter the elevator first.
“Asher called again,” Christian says quietly.
“Asher?”
“Yes, the adopted child keeps looking for Daddy’s face on Daddy by constantly begging me to come home.”
“Then what is your plan, sir?”
“Still the same as previous years, send flowers home for Mommy. Do you remember what my Mommy’s favorite flower is?”
Kainer smiled. “Of course I remember, sir.”
“Good, send Mommy the best flowers and don’t say my name. I don’t want Daddy to say my name in front of his favorite child.”
***
After arriving in her room Elena immediately threw herself on the bed, Elena still couldn’t believe Christian’s unreasonable orders. So far, Elena had never heard that a secretary who had just worked on the first day had been immediately invited to go on a business trip.
“Shit..damn..damn...arrgghhh...why did I have to apply at that company? Akh that sucks...”
Elena screamed loudly in her pillow, because her room and her parents’ room were not too far away. not to make a sound. Elena didn’t want to disturb her parents’ sleep. After being satisfied with venting her frustration, Elena immediately got out of bed and immediately tidied her clothes and other equipment into the suitcase. Elena doesn’t want to be the subject of ridicule by Christian again if her personal equipment is lacking, it feels like Christian’s spicy mouth wants to be tied up by Elena.
After making sure all her personal equipment was in the suitcase, Elena immediately went to the bathroom to clean her body. Even though she worked in a cold room, Elena still felt her body was sticky and uncomfortable if she was immediately taken to bed, when she was standing in front of the large mirror in the bathroom, Elena felt a white mark extending on her left shoulder. A sign she got when she fell off his bike according to her parents confession many years ago.
“Come on, Elena, you have to be able to deal with that arrogant person. You can’t lose,” said Elena quietly trying to encourage herself so that she could survive her new boss who was a little crazy.
