146 Worried

A week has gone by very slowly for Elena, since her last conversation with Christian last Monday, now Elena is back facing Monday. Even though there was no heavy work in the office, Elena still struggled to do her job and Kainer’s work at the same time.

Elena immediately wiped her sweat as her working hour ended.

“Tough day, huh?” Andy from finance came to surprise Elena who had just closed her laptop.

Elena immediately put on her best smile. “Little bit.”

“You really are a very responsible secretary, aren’t you,” the blonde haired man complimented with a mischievous smile that was clearly visible.

Elena, who had absolutely no passion for joking after such a tiring day, just smiled a little without opening her lips. Elena knew that if Andy was served, the man who had just divorced would become even more serious. Information about Andy being sued for divorce after being caught cheating with one of his schoolmates after a reunion a few weeks earlier had reached Elena’s ears since a few days ago, that’s why Elena tried to keep as far as possible from a guy like Andy.

“What is that in your hand?” Elena immediately changed the subject by asking the whereabouts of a file that had been held by Andy, even though she already knew what file the man was carrying, but Elena chose to pretend not to know so that she would soon be free from Andy.

“Oh here, it’s a file that requires Mr Clarke’s approval as usual,” Andy replied, still smiling.

Elena raised her hand. “Give it to me, I’ll do it right away.”

.....



“Are you sure? Aren’t you going home already?”

“It’s ok, I’m also still connected with Kainer at this time so the proposal you want to submit can be processed immediately,” replied Elena calmly.

Hearing Kainer’s name was mentioned made Andy immediately hand over the document in his hands to Elena, Kainer was someone he hated because of that Andy chose to leave immediately after submitting the proposal in his hand to Elena. Kainer was the person Andy wanted to avoid the most.

Elena took a deep breath as she watched Andy leave, even though now she had to get back to work. Elena prefers to spend her time with work rather than having to interact with someone like Andy who is dangerous, as long as Christian is not around Elena decides not to cause trouble with anyone as her mother says. ‘Women who are about to get married are bound to get a lot of temptation’ and Elena wanted to avoid that as much as possible.

After thirty minutes, Elena finally managed to finish her job well without any problems, with Kainer’s help the proposal submitted by the finance department was finally processed. Even though the CEO was not in place, all the work was successfully completed without any problems and all of that was the result of Elena’s total hard work with all her work for the past week.

“Good evening, Miss.” Dimitri, one of the Clarke Enterprise drivers who last week picked up Elena, greeted Elena politely as soon as Elena arrived at the lobby.





Elena nodded slowly. “Good evening.”

“Shall we go home, Miss?”

“Hmm, I want to go to groceries that are near my house, can you...”

“Sure, of course I can Miss. Come on, let me deliver,” Dimitri answered quickly, cutting Elena’s words.

Elena smiled a little, after that she continued her steps towards the car that was waiting for her. It’s been a week since Elena was picked up by Dimitri who got an assignment directly from Jackson Clarke, why didn’t Jack who ordered Elena know. A simple Elena only thinks positively if her future father-in-law wants to keep herself away from his son, that’s what Elena has been thinking for the past week when Dimitri picked her up.

Dimitri stopped the car when he arrived in front of the household necessities store that Elena meant, Elena, who had been given a message by her mother to buy some fruit and supplements for her father, rushed into the grocery store by leaving her laptop bag in the car. Elena was sure Dimitri would take care of her work tool, which was why she left it there. In less than fifteen minutes, Elena was back in the car with two fairly large paper bags containing some of the fruit she had bought in the shop moments ago.

“It is done, Miss?” asked Dimitri politely.

Elena who had just leaned back in her chair nodded slowly, shopping in such a fast time made her exhausted. “Alright, we can go home now.”

After nodding his head, Dimitri then stepped on the gas pedal of his car and resumed his journey to Elena’s parents’ house which was deserted from loyal customers of cakes made by Jody and Camila Wilson. Even though her father’s condition has improved, Elena has limited her father’s working hours. That’s why every six o’clock in the afternoon the shop is always closed.

“Thank you, Dimitri,” said Elena politely to Dimitri who helped her carry her two shopping bags.

“It’s nothing, Miss. Well then I’ll excuse myself.”

Elena nodded slowly.

After the black car that Dimitri was driving disappeared from view, Elena then rushed into her house. Elena almost dropped her shopping bag when she saw her mother sitting on the sofa with a pale face, a panicked Elena rushed over to her.

Camila Wilson wiped Elena’s tears with her still shaking hands, the old woman almost fainted from exhaustion after taking care of her husband. Luckily Elena came home at the right time so that things that were not desirable could finally be avoided.

“Mom’s okay, honey. Come on, wipe your tears, you’re getting married soon, honey. Don’t cry like this,” Camila Wilson said softly.

Elena nodded slowly. “I will ask Bianca to stay here.”

“Bianca has a husband and children to take care of. Besides, she’s also been tired all day at work, so it’s not good for us to bother her again.”

Elena immediately gripped her mother’s hand tightly. “Only temporarily, after I return from work she can go home. I don’t want something like this to happen again, dad just recovered, mom. So I beg you to please take care your own health.”

“Mom’s okay too, honey.”

“Is everything okay? Mother almost fainted!” said Elena loudly. “What were you doing earlier? Isn’t dad already recovered, huh? Why do you have to help dad take a bath? Supporting dad’s body, which is bigger than mom’s own body, must be tiring, right?” Elena’s voice trembled with anger and sadness, hearing the confession of her mother who was exhausted after helping and carrying her husband from the bathroom to the room made Elena’s heartbreak. Elena could imagine how difficult it must have been for her mother to do that.
