Wedding Agreement With CEO

Chapter 148 - Missing Lucas

This afternoon, Ellena came home with a beaming expression. Although there are still many things that always bother her heart and mind, especially about Lucas and Martin. However, at least this time he had come to terms with her problems in terms of work.

She couldn't wait for tomorrow and rushed to meet Richard, the man she had accidentally met three hours ago. It seemed that the goddess of fortune was on her side. When she was in need of a job, she actually met a good person like Richard, who was willing to help her work.

She should have thanked the pickpocket, for bringing her good luck. Ah, God always has a unique way to help Her servants.

"What are you doing, Elle? You seem very happy today, is it because you got a job?" Briana asked noticing the expression of Ellena, who had just stood in front of her.

"Not yet, Ma'am. But I'll get it soon. Please pray for me, Ma'am," Ellena replied with a smile, after she kissed her mother's hand.

"What do you mean, Elle?" Briana looked down at her eyebrows, surprised by Ellena's answer.

"Earlier I met a nice person and asked me to come to his office, if I needed a job," explained Ellena informed.

"Is that true?" Briana asked for sure with a smile on her face. Of course she was happy to hear the good news.

"Yes, Ma'am. That's why I'm very happy today. After a few days of wandering around looking for work, I finally met a good person who could help us, Ma'am." Ellena seemed to land her body on a wooden sofa in the living room.

"I'm glad to hear that." Briana turned around, facing Ellena, looking at Ellena's face that looked tired and a little sweaty. "You must be very tired today. Mother is cooking, you should eat first," said Briana, unable to bear to see the drops of sweat on Ellena's temples.

"I want to take a shower first, Ma'am. After that, I just eat," replied Ellena as she got back from her seat to do body cleaning activities.

"Okay, if that's what you want." Briana replied, looking approving, even though she was really worried about Ellena's tummy, believing that her daughter hadn't eaten since this afternoon.

Yes, right. In such a limited economic condition, how could Ellena want to spend money on snacks or eating out. She had many things to think about, apart from just thinking about her stomach. Especially the health of the mother who also definitely needs a lot of money, because she has to regularly check her condition to the doctor, once every two weeks.

Ellena walked to the room next to her mother's, after she said goodbye to Briana. Perform daily rituals, cleanse the body.

After bathing and eating, Ellena shut herself back in her room. She reached for a photo figure from the table. A portrait of Lucas, the person she had always missed these days.

Ellena sat on the bed rubbing the portrait. Looking at her with teary eyes, holding back the pain, sadness, and disappointment mixed into one. She doesn't even know how to express her feelings every time she remembers her relationship with Lucas had to run aground halfway.

"Lucas, how are you now? Are you awake? Sorry, I couldn't be with you during your difficult time. I missed you so much, Lucas." Ellena hissed again rubbing the portrait.

Uncontrollably, the tears suddenly spilled out. She really couldn't stand it if she had to endure this pain for too long. Maybe from the outside she looks fine, but not with a very fragile heart. It's just that she always hides the pain in front of her mother, under the pretext of not wanting to make her feel worried.

"Even though I'm not by your side, but I will always pray for your well-being, as well as your health." Ellena said again, then kissed the portrait and hugged it, before she put it back on the table.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Lucas, who had been transferred to a regular ward, seemed to be getting better. This is evident from the facial expressions that are not too pale and fresher. It's just that until this moment he is still not allowed to go home.

In the room, Adley was seen accompanying him because Lucas asked him to come. He didn't know what Lucas was going to tell him.

After a few days of going out of town, because he had to replace Lucas to deal with the branch company there, Adle had just had time to visit Lucas again. The happiness he felt when heard the news that Lucas had woken up.

This time, Lucas was seen leaning on the patient bed, while Adley sat beside him.

"How are you now?" Adley asked, glancing down at Lucas who he was sure wasn't all right. Not about his health condition, but his feelings.

After Adley found out that Ellena was gone, of course he felt hurt too, because he had to see his best friend again in pain for the umpteenth time. After Selena, now Ellena. Even with Michelle, it turns out that Lucas' love journey has not been smooth.

Why should Lucas have bad luck in terms of love? Even though he never once betrayed any woman, why did he get the opposite treatment. It really wasn't fair to Lucas.

"I'm fine," Lucas replied dryly and as if he wanted to hide his pain and disappointment in front of Adley.

"I'm sorry to hear that Ellena left when you weren't feeling well. I didn't think that Ellena was the same as your former exes," Adley whispered with a disappointed expression.

"No! You're wrong!" Lucas denied that he did not accept Adley's accusations.

"What do you mean? She obviously left you when you were in a coma," replied Adley, looking down at him in surprise, because Lucas was still defending Ellena, who clearly didn't care about him.

"Never equate Ellena with them, because she's definitely different. I know that." Lucas said confidently.

"But-"

"I'm sure she left not without a reason. That's the reason I called you here." Lucas concluded with his gaze focused ahead.

"Wait! I still don't understand what you're talking about. Do you know anything that makes you suspicious?" Adley looked seriously at Lucas' face. Full of questions, without even blinking a bit.

Lucas turned his head to look at Adley expectantly. "Right now, you're the only person I trust. That's why I called you here. I beg you, help me." He said with a slightly sad expression.

"What's the matter? What can I do to help you?" asked Adley still curious about the direction Lucas was talking about.

"Please find Ellena and bring her for me!" Lucas asked firmly. "I also want you to help me investigate why Ellena left. I suspect she left because there was pressure from someone." He added later.

"Who do you think is the one who dares to force her like that?"

"I don't know exactly, but besides being suspicious of Selena and Michelle, I'm also suspicious of my mother." Lucas explained, which suddenly made Adley rounded in disbelief.

"What do you mean? Why did you bring Mrs. Veronica into this problem?" Adley slightly turned his body to the side, changing his sitting position to face Lucas.

"I don't know, lately her attitude has changed towards Ellena, for some reason. I also still understand. Basically, I want you to investigate this matter and don't let anyone find out, whoever it is. Just you and me!" Lucas said warningly.

"But I can't necessarily do it myself." Adley replied, unsure of his abilities. He knew very well that investigating such matters was not an easy thing and could be done alone.

"You can mobilize the people you trust, but it must be a secret. Don't let the people at the office and my parents find out about this." Lucas said.

"Including Alex?" Adley seemed to widen his eyelids, staring seriously at his friend's face.

"Yes, including Alex." Lucas nodded slowly.

"Okay, but I can't promise to find Ellena." Adley hissed.

"I trust you, sooner or later you will find it."

Lucas seemed so sure of Adley's abilities. It was evident from how he entrusted this very important matter to Adley.

"Have you tried contacting Ellena?" Adley seemed to knit his brows, maybe Lucas forgot to contact the woman.

"It's been several times and no results at all. Ellena's phone number is no longer active. I'm at a loss how else to find Ellena. Sooner or later, the problem I'm facing right now, will definitely go up in the mass media. You're the only one My only hope now, I hope you will help me, Brother."

Lucas explained at length as he pleaded with Adley. This is the first time he has asked for help from others.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely help you find Ellena." Adley said, holding Lucas' arm.

"Thanks, Brother." Lucas replied, trying to force a smile.

Before they could end their conversation, suddenly a knock on the door echoed through the room. They reflexively turned towards the door and were stunned for a moment.

"Shit! Who's coming?" Lucas cursed feeling annoyed by someone out there.

"Are you going to allow that person in?" Adley looked to look at Lucas, just wanting to confirm the answer from his best friend.

"Actually I'm not in the mood for anyone to bother me, but let the person in," Lucas announced.

"Okay."

Without waiting for further orders, Adley immediately shouted, allowing someone outside to enter Lucas' ward.

Until finally, the door opened and revealed a beautiful woman with curly hair. She seemed to be walking in, showing her perfect curves and quite eye-catching.

"You? Why did you come here?"

Lucas stared at the sexy looking woman who was standing in front of him holding a bouquet of lilies and a basket of different types of fruit.
