Chapter 80
80 More Intimate
Christian and Elena’s relationship has grown closer since their short holiday to Germany two weeks ago, although so far Christian has not made their relationship public to everyone, but Kainer can already smell the special relationship that exists between his boss and Elena.
Christian who usually didn’t care about his previous secretaries this time treated Elena so well. Before assigning an assignment to Elena, Christian would have checked it first. Christian will make sure that the task that will be given to Elena will not get the girl into trouble.
“Elena...”
Elena who was making coffee in the pantry raised her face, looking at Kainer who had just called out to her.
“What is it?”
As soon as a staff member who was near Elena came out of the pantry, Kainer rushed into the pantry to approach Elena. “Are you and Master having a fight?” asked Kainer in a half whisper.
“A fight? No, we’re fine. Fifteen minutes ago even I just gave him the documents and he looks fine,” answered Elena honestly. “What’s wrong?”
Kainer took a deep breath. “Looks like something else is bothering him at the moment.”
“What other things?”
.....
“I don’t know, I haven’t dared to ask yet. Seeing him just silent when I gave the report last week made me not dare to ask,” Kainer replied quietly.
“Do you want me to ask?”
“You want to do that?” asked Kainer.
Elena smiled. “Of course I want, okay I will put this coffee first on my table. After that I will go to his office.”
“Thank you, Elena.”
Elena nodded slowly, as she was about to put the spoon in the sink when suddenly Elena and Kainer were surprised by Christian’s arrival in the pantry. The atmosphere in the pantry immediately fell silent, neither Elena nor Kainer dared to speak.
“What are you two doing in the pantry with Kainer, Elena?” Christian asks coldly.
Elena raised the coffee cup in front of her into the air. “Making coffee, Kainer wanted to make coffee earlier that’s why he came to the pantry.” Elena deliberately said that so that Kainer wouldn’t get into trouble.
“Kainer asked you to make coffee for him?” Christian asks again.
“No sir, how could I dare to do that,” Kainer replied quickly.
Christian immediately turned his gaze to Kainer. “I’m not asking you, I’m asking Elena.”
Elena smiled. “Kainer wanted to make coffee for me at first, sir. But since I’ve finished making coffee it doesn’t work.”
One of Christian’s eyebrows rises. “Is that true?”
“Yeah, Kainer offered me that earlier,” replied Elena softly. “Is there anything I can help you with, sir?”
The glint of anger in Christian’s eyes disappears in an instant, his gaze turning gentle with a stifled smile on his face.
“Come to my office, I have something important to talk to you about.”
“Yes sir.”
“I didn’t invite you, Kainer. I just wanted to talk to Elena,” Christian replies coldly, as cold as his gaze on Kainer.
Kainer immediately lowered his head. “Sorry Sir.”
“Hurry up and follow me Elena and give your coffee to Kainer, you don’t need it.”
“But...”
Elena immediately stopped her speech. “All right, sir. I’ll be right back in your office.”
Christian no longer responds to Elena’s words, all he does is quickly leave the pantry and head back to his room.
“See, you saw it for yourself, didn’t you?” whispered Kainer timidly.
Elena took a deep breath. “What do you think made Master so angry, Kainer?”
Kainer shook her head. “I don’t know, what is clear right now the young master is really angry. I hope you are careful and don’t make mistakes, Elena.”
Elena nodded slowly, after giving the cup of coffee she made to Kainer, Elena immediately returned to her room to bring her work equipment before entering Christian’s office which was tightly closed.
Several other staff immediately whispered to each other as soon as they saw Elena enter Christian’s room, even though the pantry was quite far from their desk, they could hear what Christian was talking about with Elena and Kainer. As soon as Kainer passed by with Elena’s coffee, the staff fell silent and went back to their work. None of them dared to speak.
Meanwhile, currently in Christian’s room, Elena is trying to free herself from Christian’s embrace which suddenly embraced her as soon as she crossed the door. Elena almost screams if Christian doesn’t bury her face in his chest.
“Christ... I can’t breathe,” Elena said quietly.
Christian loosens his grip on Elena, though he doesn’t really let her go.
“What happened to you?” Elena asks softly to Christian who still has his arms wrapped around his waist.
Instead of answering Elena’s question, Christian presses the lock button near the wall to lock the door to his room. Elena’s face immediately panicked when she heard a ‘click’ sound as soon as the door to Christian’s room was actually locked.
“Chris, what are you...ahhh...”
Elena’s words stopped when suddenly Christian lifted Elena’s body into the air and carried her to his chair, just like in the apartment two weeks ago, Christian also made Elena sit back on his lap with Elena’s feet on the right and left of Christian’s body. Elena’s sitting position, which was very exposed, made Elena uncomfortable, especially now that she was wearing a skirt.
“Christ...”
“Calm down Elena, I want you to stay sitting like this on top of me,” Christian says hoarsely.
“Yes, but my sitting position....aawww..”
The movement of Christian’s hand that lifted Elena’s skirt up suddenly made Elena scream loudly in surprise, because the skirt Elena was wearing was already up. The girl’s sitting position became closer to Christian, her thighs becoming more visible.
Spontaneously Elena uses both hands to press the skirt in front of her almost visible feminine area, Christian really almost makes Elena’s entire lower body visible.
“Don’t be shy Elena, you have nothing to hide from me,” Christian says quietly. “You are my lover, Elena.”
“Chris...”
“I wouldn’t do that either here, at the office. I wouldn’t allow you to be uncomfortable while we were doing it, so don’t be afraid. Right now I really want to hug you, nothing more,” Christian says back full promise.
Elena’s cheeks reddened. “But it doesn’t have to be like this, you can hug me in a normal way like men out there do with women, Christ. I’m really uncomfortable.”
Christian smiles. “You didn’t forget your promise to me when we were at the apartment, did you?”
“Of course I didn’t forget, it’s just...”
One tug that Christian gives Elena to get Elena closer to him makes Elena stop talking, Christian really forces such great intimacy on Elena. Elena, who is not used to it, still keeps trying to stop Christian even though her efforts are in vain. The power that Christian gave was too strong for Elena to fight.
“Areez Floyen, he currently lives in Germany, the country where my mother comes from,” Christian whispers quietly without lifting his head from Elena’s chest where he rests.
“Areez Floyen lives in Germany, how come? Doesn’t he in Auckland have a business empire left over from his ancestors to take care of?”
Christian lifts his face from Elena’s chest. “How did you know that bastard had big business in Auckland?” A glint of jealousy immediately appeared in Christian’s eyes. “You have no intention of turning your back on me and going to him, do you?”
Elena laughs in amusement, trying to cover up her nervousness at the heinous accusation Christian has just made of her. “Only people with great power would dare to oppose a Christian Clarke, let alone want to destroy the business that Clarke Enterprise has run for years. That’s why I guessed that Areez Floyen was a big man and my guess turned out to be right after I read the article about the Floyen family. that ruled New Zealand for hundreds of years.”
“I was asking another question, but why are you glorifying the Floyen family instead, Elena. You couldn’t possibly...”
“I don’t have that much courage to fight you, Christ. I’m still pretty sane right now.”
Even though he has heard Elena’s words, Christian is still not satisfied. “I don’t like being betrayed, Elena. You have to remember that carefully, I can be a very terrible person when I get angry.”
Elena smiled, her hands gently touching Christian’s cheeks which were covered in fine, unshaven hair without fear.
“Who would betray you, hm?”
“Elena...”
Elena’s heart skipped a beat as Christian’s hands squeezed her buttocks tightly, Elena’s cheeks turning redder. “Christ...”
“Stay at my house tonight,” Christian says hopefully, continuing his cut off earlier. “Please....”
“Sorry, Chris. We’re not that close to sharing the same roof.”
Christian’s gaze immediately dims. “You still don’t believe me?”
“Christ...”
“What?”
Elena lowers her head slowly and is silent for a long time before finally lifting her face again, staring deeply at Christian who doesn’t break eye contact from her.
“You and I are too far apart, Christ. I should have disapproved of your request to be in this relationship from the start, you are too high for me to reach, Christ. You...”
“Elena..”
Elena places a finger on Christian’s lips, preventing him from cutting himself off. . “Let me finish my sentence.”
Christian’s stiff body slowly calmed down, he even loosened his grip on Elena’s waist. “Go ahead, I’ll hear what you have to say.”
