“Of course it works, Elena.” From behind Kainer answered Elena’s words, Kainer who was the last to enter the apartment was seen carrying Christian’s laptop in his hand. “We will prepare all the documents for the meeting tomorrow morning.”
Elena was silent, her focus stolen on Kainer who was preparing for their work tonight by turning on two laptops on the table in front of Christian who was shaking his wine glass.
“Still want to stand like that?” Christian speaks again, signaling Elena to sit down.
Elena quickly walked to the empty sofa in front of Christian, without daring to open her lips, Elena then took out her laptop from the bag that she had been hugging for a long time. Since the preparations were complete, the three of them began to focus on their respective laptops. Except for Christian, he works with two gadgets at once. Laptops and smart tablets that had been on his lap.
Feeling uncomfortable sitting on the sofa, Elena then sat down on the carpet to join Kainer, who had been sitting cross-legged on the carpet from the start with his laptop on the table. Christian’s eyes narrowed to see Elena was very close to Kainer, even though both of them were busy with their laptops but Christian was annoyed. There is no distance between the two people, so Christian finally runs out of patience.
“Elena, come here. There’s something I want to show you,” Christian says suddenly, seeing Elena tying her hair haphazardly above her head with no make-up at all and wearing cat eye glasses making her unable to resist talking to her.
“Just share the email, sir,” answered Elena quietly without taking her eyes off the laptop screen.
Christian’s eyebrows rose, he immediately put his wine glass on the table and went straight to Elena, without permission Christian suddenly took a seat between Elena and Kainer.
“Sir!!”
.....
“Move over, I want to sit here too. I have to be near you, I have to make sure you guys are really working,” Christian says quietly without guilt, ignoring the murderous stares Elena gives him.
Because she doesn’t want to spend time on unimportant things, Elena then relents and chooses to forget what Christian just did. After straightening her glasses that had fallen to the bridge of her sharp nose, Elena returned her focus to her laptop. Kainer who had moved quite a distance from Christian smiled faintly, Kainer knew what Christian’s purpose was to sit on the floor for what. That’s why he chose to immediately distance himself from his master, giving him the opportunity to be closer to Elena.
A few hours ago Kainer was confused when Christian gave him an order to pick up Elena who had been fired four days ago, but after seeing Christian’s interaction with Elena, Kainer finally realized that Christian has more value for the girl.
“I’ve finished summarizing the report, but...”
“But what?” Christian interrupts quickly.
“But I can’t change it to Russian, I don’t speak Russian, sir,” replied Elena hoarsely, full of regret. Elena feels embarrassed at this time, as a secretary to the CEO she must be demanded to do everything. But now she had to admit her weakness directly to her boss that she couldn’t speak Russian.
“Send me what you’ve made, Elena. I’ll change it in Russian,” Kainer said quietly.
Elena immediately turned to Kainer who was now sitting in front of Christian. “Y..you speak Russian?” asked Elena stupidly.
Kainer chuckled. “If I don’t speak Russian how could I ask you to send me the report you’ve made, Elena.”
“So you really speak Russian?” asked Elena again. “Russian is the most difficult language for me to learn.”
“Not only can I speak Russian, Mr. Christian can also speak Russian. He even spoke fluent Russian when he was less than fifteen years old.”
Elena immediately turned her gaze to Christian quickly. “Is that true?”
Christian smiles a little. “That’s not something to be proud of, Elena. It’s useless even if you can speak ten languages ??if you can’t work.”
Elena nodded slowly.
Seeing that Elena is still in awe of him, suddenly a mischievous idea pops into Christian’s head. Christian slowly approached Elena, his nose almost touching Elena’s if only Elena didn’t immediately back away from Christian. “I still have many other abilities you don’t know about, Elena. Do you want to know?”
For a few moments Elena was silent, she was absorbed by the charm of a Christian Clarke who was so seductive. Elena almost said ‘yes’ if only her cell phone didn’t suddenly ring, Elena quickly grabbed her cellphone and immediately moved away from Christian’s face to receive a call from her mother.
Christian immediately clenched his fists when he saw Elena leave, he almost managed to seduce Elena.
“We’re working, ma’am. Sorry I forgot to call you fifteen minutes ago.” Elena tried to explain why she didn’t contact her mother right away, according to the promise she made when she left.
“Then try to show me where you are right now.”
Elena immediately opened her mouth wide. “Mom...”
“Come on Elena.” Mr. Wilson, who was currently behind his wife, also spoke.
“Okay, I will change to video call mode, please accept,” said Elena quietly, after taking a deep breath Elena then changed the call to video call mode. As soon as the faces of her parents appeared on the screen of her cellphone, Elena then changed her cell phone camera and took a picture of Kainer and Christian who were sitting on the carpet, facing their respective laptops.
“Have you seen it?” Elena asked quietly to her parents who were now facing her again.
“You guys really worked last night?” Mr. Wilson asked again, the old man slightly doubted what Christian had said earlier that he wanted to take Elena to work. As someone who was once young, he had bad thoughts about Christian.
“Of course, what else are we doing right now? The person who will come to the office tomorrow morning is a big man in Russia, that’s why we have to prepare everything tonight so that the meeting tomorrow morning goes smoothly without any problems,” replied Elena quietly. .
“Well then, now you better get on with your work, dear. Sorry if I bothered you,” said Mrs. Camila Wilson with a smile. “Good job, Elena. We’re proud of you.”
Elena smiled at her mother’s words, because she didn’t want to make Kainer wait too long. Finally Elena ended the call and rushed back to where Christian and Kainer were.
“Sorry, it was my mother.”
“Why is your mother calling? Want to make sure I’m lying or not, huh?” Christian says quietly.
“Eh..”
“Your mother, she called you earlier to make sure you really took me to work, didn’t she?” Christian repeats his question more clearly.
Elena nodded slowly. “That’s it, mom and dad only have me. So they always worry about me when I’m not home.”
“Oh yes?” Christian immediately turned to Elena. “If they have so much concern for you, then why did they allow their dear daughter to go stay with a boy for four days yesterday in Paris?”
“Y..you know I went to Paris?”
“What do you think? For the past two hours I sat talking to your parents. I won’t get any information, do you?” Christian asks coldly, full of so much jealousy. “You even went home with the fireman too, didn’t you?”
Elena’s cheeks reddened, her heart beating twice as fast. Christian’s sarcasm pierced her, when she didn’t really need to. She is a single girl, who is not bound by a relationship. So it felt perfectly fine if she wanted to go somewhere with anyone.
Christian chuckles, his emotions suddenly changing. “Yes, sit down quickly, continue your work. You still have much to do.”
Without daring to argue, Elena hastily sat back down next to Christian, remembering that if Kainer asked for the report she had made earlier, Elena immediately sent it to Kainer to be converted into Russian. Due to Elena and Christian’s brief conversation earlier, the atmosphere in the living room of Christian’s apartment became tense. Kainer, who didn’t know anything, chose to stay focused on his work, translating the report that Elena had made earlier.
Christian is the only person who is still awake when Elena and Kainer sleep, after finishing two glasses of wine his sleepiness is gone, especially now that Elena is with him. It felt like all the restlessness from not seeing Elena for four days had paid off tonight.
“What have you done to me, Elena? Why can’t I get your face out of my head,” Christian says quietly, Christian’s focus is then on Elena’s neck which he can see clearly now.
Yesterday, controlled by emotions, Christian didn’t think long by directly placing his big fingers on Elena’s neck. Even though it doesn’t leave a visible mark, Christian still clearly remembers how Elena’s expression of pain was at that time. Elena’s troubled breathing expression that she was enjoying at the time. bastard.
“I’m sorry Elena, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that to you...” Christian’s curly fingers touched Elena’s exposed neck, Christian’s cheeks immediately turned red when his fingers touched Elena’s soft skin.
Instantly a sense of regret immediately flooded Christian, he quickly pulled his hand from Elena’s open slender neck.

“Germany....8 hours 36 minutes from Geneva,” Areez said quietly as he got off the plane, after a long tiring flight he finally arrived in a country that borders many countries.
Aldrich who just got off the plane immediately put his arm around Areez’s shoulder. “Believe me, if you and Mira are indeed a match. No matter how far the distance between the two of you is now, you will definitely meet again.”
“I know, I just remember the place where I first met her three years ago,” Areez said quietly.
