“Oh really? That’s good then, at least I don’t have to go through the trouble of doing sports to get rid of my big belly,” Christian says quickly, trying to be funny.
“Young master!!”
“Haha...I’m joking, Romaria. Don’t worry, don’t worry. I’ll be fine, I’ve now increased the number of bodyguards so something like yesterday won’t happen again.”
Romaria blinked her eyes sadly, as someone who had interacted with Christian who had been in trouble for a long time, Romaria knew that her young master was trying to stay strong. Romaria knew that her employer was not doing well at the moment, especially after knowing that her only sister whom she loved so dearly had betrayed her. Romaria knows that Christian is hiding the pain inside of him alone.
“Please take care of Luna for me, I’ll try to get home early today,” Christian says quietly, his lips curling slightly at the sight of Luna’s hand movement. Even though Luna’s condition has improved, Christian still doesn’t want to bring Luna home. Christian wants Luna to get maximum treatment at the hospital while waiting for the right heart donor.
Romaria smiled a little. “I will take good care of Miss Luna, sir. You don’t worry.”
Christian nodded slowly, after giving a long-distance kiss to Luna who was in her treatment room, Christian then walked away to the elevator with the bodyguards who escorted him. Since the attack three days ago on the road, Christian has increased the number of his bodyguards just in case. Christian doesn’t want the same thing to happen again for the umpteenth time.
Christian finally realizes that at this time there are people who are taking advantage of his unstable condition by attacking repeatedly, Christian suspects that the person who is targeting him is someone who knows him well. However, Christian still hasn’t managed to find out who that person is, the many problems that have come to him lately have delayed Christian’s intention to find out the mastermind behind his attack. Christian’s focus right now is the recovery of Luna and Kainer, the two most important people in his life right now after being disappointed again by his own family.
While reading some important files from his smart tablet, Christian is suddenly startled by a phone call that appears on his cellphone. Christian, who was focused on his work, didn’t have time to check his cell phone screen first, instead he immediately received the call by pressing the small button on the wireless earphones that were attached to his ears.
.....
“Hello...”
“Where are you?”
Christian, who was checking the movement of the value of his shares, almost dropped the smart tablet that was in his lap when he heard the voice he missed so much. Elena!
“I was already in front of your office and the security guard in front of your office forbade me to enter.”
Christian, who knew Elena’s voice so well, was hypnotized for a few seconds, his tongue suddenly numb.
“Hello, Christian! You’re still there, aren’t you? Has your invitation expired for me?”
“Zwetta?” Christian stammers, trying to calm his already unstable sanity.
“Yes, I’m.”
“Where are you?” asks Christian stupidly.
“Oh Jess, you haven’t been listening to my ramblings since a while ago, have you? I was in front of your office, Clarke Enterprise,” Zwetta replied curtly. “I’ve been standing outside for almost fifteen minutes because the security guard this morning forbade me to come in, they can’t believe I know you.”
“Show me the business card I gave you yesterday!”
Zwetta chuckled. “Sorry, I lost it.”
“Lost? How come? Since when? Then how do you have my cell phone number if the business card is lost?” Christian asks over and over.
“I’ve had time to save your cell phone number before I lost your redundant business card.”
“Excessive?!” Christian’s voice goes up two octaves.
“Yeah, only crazy people would put real gold on their business cards,” Zwetta said sarcastically, Zwetta already knew that the gold pieces on the business cards were real gold. That’s why she immediately put the business card away and Zwetta had not been able to find it for two days.
Christian smiles a little. “Ten minutes I will be at the office, please wait for me.”
“Ten minutes?” Zwetta muttered under her breath. “Too long!”
“I’ll try to go faster than that!!” Christian says loudly, trying to convince Zwetta to wait for him.
“Ok, you only have ten minutes. One minute late I’ll be leaving.”
“I got it!”
As soon as Zwetta ended their phone call, Christian then ordered the driver to increase speed. Luckily the streets of Luxembourg weren’t too congested, so the convoy of cars escorting Christian arrived at the Clarke Enterprise office in less than ten minutes. As soon as the car stopped, Christian immediately opened the car door himself without waiting for the bodyguard’s help. The existence of Zwetta who was standing not far from his car stopped at this time making Christian very impatient to meet her.
With a little jog, Christian approached Zwetta, who was wearing an all-black outfit complete with a mask and hat, now Christian knows the reason why security forbids Zwetta from entering the office. Zwetta’s mysterious appearance will make anyone suspicious.
“Well, I’m not late, am I?” Christian asks with a big smile, his eyes focused on the long tattoo behind Zwetta’s ear that he can see so clearly.
“Eight minutes, not bad.”
Christian smiles. “Come on in, there’s a lot I want to talk to you about.”
Zwetta turned to the two security guards who had previously barred her from entering.
“They won’t stop you when you’re with me, don’t worry,” Christian says back.
“Is that true?”
“Want proof?”
Instead of answering Christian’s slightly challenging words, Zwetta stepped into the entrance which was being guarded by two well-built security guards.
“I’m with your CEO, are you guys going to ban me from entering like earlier?” Zwetta asked provokingly.
Christian, who did not expect what his savior goddess would do, chuckled, the smile that had been missing for three days reappeared on Christian’s face.
“Don’t tease them, Zee,” Christian says as he walks away.
