Chapter 17: The Church

Elena flashed her best smile at Jason who was already on the bus to Echternach for his new post as fire chief. Being a fire chief at a relatively young age, Jason is a very lucky person, so Elena encourages Jason to accept the lucrative offer.

“I’ll call you as soon as I get to Echternach, Elena,” Jason shouted from inside his bus which was already starting to leave the bus stop.

Elena nodded. “I look forward to hearing from you, Jason.”

Jason smiled wryly at Elena’s answer, even so he kept waving his hand at Elena until finally the bus that took him further away from where Elena was standing. Seeing the bus carrying Jason further away, Elena then continued on her way to a church not far from where she was, today was the day she promised her parents that she would start working at Clarke Enterprise. Elena still doesn’t have the courage to tell her parents the truth about the misfortune she got again, Elena herself is confused why for the past two years she has always failed to get a job.

When she had just arrived in front of the church gate, Elena was suddenly startled by a very deafening sound of a horn. Elena spontaneously turned around trying to see who the arrogant person was who was being disrespectful in the church environment.

A black McLaren Elva car seemed to have stopped right in front of Elena who had turned her body, the luxury car looked very dominant and so intimidating. For a few seconds Elena was trapped in her admiration of seeing the luxury car until finally the sound of the horn from the car made Elena immediately realize. Elena immediately walked to the side, making way for the car to pass. Getting such unpleasant treatment from the driver of the car made Elena decide to immediately hate whoever was in the car.

“You arrogant rich man!”

.....

“What are you saying?!”

Elena’s steps were stopped when a man loudly answered her words, a little hesitant, Elena finally decided to continue her steps. But just as she was about to take a step, the man’s screams were heard again.

Elena stomped her foot on the ground in annoyance. “Let’s see who is the arrogant person who thinks this church is his playground.....You!!”

Elena immediately covered her mouth with her hand when she saw the figure of a man who was standing two meters away from her. The arrogant man who had fired her on his first day at work was now standing in front of her and made Elena angry again.

After considering for a long time, Elena finally decided not to continue her intention to teach the arrogant man a lesson. Elana’s intention to pray should not be tarnished by the arrogant man’s provocation. After chanting a few words of encouragement, Elena finally turned around and walked towards the church, which looked quite busy.

An exploding Christian is rendered speechless when a poor girl he’s fired from his office disrespectfully ignores him. Unlucky. No one dared to ignore a Christian Clarke, much less a woman. Christian’s anger really flared in his chest, his intention to enter the church had to be canceled. It seems that currently Lucifer’s power is even greater surrounding him.

Without opening his mouth, Christian gets back into his car. Sitting with full concentration staring at the church door which is still wide open, waiting for God’s servants to come. Seconds after seconds passed and turned into minutes until finally what Christian had been waiting for finally arrived, an impudent woman who dared to ignore him was seen descending the stairs with several other congregants.

“You’ve got an ugly woman now,” Christian hisses irritated, his foot slowly stomping on the gas pedal which makes the car slowly finally walk out of the church area.

Christian continues to drive carefully, trying to keep his distance from the woman he is targeting. Christian had to wait for the woman to be completely alone and the time finally arrived, without thinking Christian then accelerated his car quickly and stopped suddenly right in front of Elena, cutting her way.

Elena, who still memorized the car belonging to her former employer, widened her eyes and was prepared to swear an oath if only the owner of the car didn’t suddenly get out of her expensive car and immediately gripped her hand tightly.

“Ouchh...”

“Damn woman, what exactly are you planning, huh? Looks like you’ve planned everything very carefully, huh? You purposely appeared in front of me like earlier so that I bump into you so you can demand a large amount of money from me.” accused Christian repeatedly cruelly.

Elena’s lips opened wide because she was too shocked to hear the baseless accusations that had just been uttered by the handsome man who was gripping her hand.

“Why are you silent? Surprised that I know all about your scheming?” said Christian again, no less cruel.

“Plan... plan what?” asked Elena confused, her brain still unable to process the accusations Christian had leveled at her earlier. Elena was too shocked by the whole thing.

Christian grins, his grip tightened. “Don’t play dumb, you’re not that stupid not to know where I’m talking!”

“I really don’t understand,” Elena said quietly, her eyes widening, looking very honest as she spoke.

For a few seconds Christian is stunned, he is stunned to see the look in the eyes of the girl who was in his grip. The look in this girl’s eyes is the same as the look in Suri’s eyes when she is begging for mercy.

Badump...

Christian’s blue beads rounded, flashing furiously at Elena who was clueless and certainly innocent.

“You’re just like all the women out there, shameless and disgusting.” Christian again let out a spicy sentence from his light pink lips. “If you need money fast tell me how much so you don’t show up in front of me anymore, I’m sick of seeing you. I feel like throwing up when...”

Slap...

A hard slap lands on Christian’s face, Elena’s hand now hurts from being used to throw a slap is already clenched. It was clear how angry Elena was right now.

“I, I have absolutely no intention of appearing in front of you again Mr. Arrogant! You don’t think I’m sick of you huh? will solve all your problems? No, money can’t do all those things. There are some things that money can’t buy and I’m one of them,” said Elena full of emotions, after saying that Elena ran towards the bus stop. Chasing the bus that will soon arrive at the stop, leaving Christian who has been silent.
