Love Worth Fighting For

Chapter 27: Devil incarnation

Hilton Adelaide Hotel, 3.30 PM.

Arriving at the hotel, Elena went straight to her room. After a long tiring flight, Elena wanted to refresh her sticky body with warm water before continuing the meeting.

When he had just finished changing, Kainer was already knocking on the door and begging him to come out immediately. Elena who originally wanted to relax for a moment was forced to cancel her wish. Snatching her smart phone and tablet, Elena immediately ran towards the door.

“Patience... I just finished showering, Kainer,” Elena grumbled in annoyance.

“Master has been down to the restaurant since fifteen minutes ago, Elena.”

Elena’s eyes widen. “Since fifteen minutes ago?”

“Mr Christian is a very ontime person, Elena. You should keep that in mind from now on.”

.....
“Ish you, come on, let’s go downstairs. I don’t want to hear that annoying guy’s chatter while we’re in Australia,” said Elena, annoyed, hearing Christian’s name made Elena’s mood which had improved because of the shower was now broken again.

Kainer followed right behind Elena who was walking towards the elevator with a face that looked annoyed, knowing that Elena was a new employee, Kainer didn’t talk much about Elena’s slightly impolite behavior. Kainer will only reprimand Elena if Elena has acted out of bounds.

While in the elevator Elena and Kainer were not involved in any conversation, both of them were lost in their own thoughts. Until finally the two of them joined Christian who had started the meeting ten minutes ago. As secretary, Elena chose to sit on Christian’s right. Even though Elena’s position is actually quite crucial, she chooses to keep her distance from Christian and let Kainer sit very close to Christian.

During the meeting Elena was really a good listener, in her heart she praised Christian’s way of speaking. Every time Christian starts talking the five people from the mayor’s office are silent, the five people seem to be looking for the wrong opponent this time.

“I’m not going to say much, what is clear is that if you all support reform efforts in the South Seas then you will all face the Clarke Enterprise. I will not play with people who dare to interfere with my business. Whoever it is, no matter how much influence in the government I will opponent. So tell your superiors not to betray me and Clarke Enterprise,” Christian said hoarsely, intimidating the five men who had not spoken much since.

“You don’t have to worry, sir. We all in the government office are on your side, we can’t possibly support people who want to destroy the environment like them.”

“Yes, sir. We are on the side of the Clarke Enterprise.”

The other three men said the same thing as his two friends, they were too afraid to say the wrong thing. Christian’s cruelty was already stuck in their heads.

Christian purses his lips. “Good, you will remember everything you said this afternoon. If in the future any of you dare to cheat behind my back then I will destroy you all without a trace.”

“W-we wouldn’t dare, sir. We are loyal to the Clarke Enterprise,” the five men answered in unison.

Satisfied with the answers from his five guests, Christian then changed his sitting position. Not long after that he raised his hands in the air, calling the waiter to immediately serve the food that Kainer had ordered while they were on their way to the hotel.





In not long, the four waiters came. They brought a variety of mouthwatering delicious food on their respective trays, once all the food was served on the table. Christian then invites his guests to eat. Elena, who was still very full, looked very uninspired, several times she was seen just messing with her food until finally Christian cleared his throat and gave a warning to Elena. Kainer, who understood the non-verbal cues, acted quickly. Using his left foot, Kainer tried to stop Elena’s actions. Elena who didn’t realize what Kainer meant looked angry, but when she accidentally saw Christian’s murderous stare, Elena finally realized what Kainer was trying to do.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier that the devil was angry?” Elena whispered softly to Kainer.

“Watch your word, Elena.”

Elena, who didn’t like to hear Kainer’s answer, then used her right foot to stomp on Kainer’s foot hard, Kainer who didn’t expect to get such harsh treatment from Elena almost choked on her food. Luckily Kainer acted quickly by drinking water straight away, so he didn’t do anything embarrassing in front of Christian and the people from the mayor’s office.

As if he had a sixth sense, Christian gave Elena a piercing look again. Being stared at by Christian immediately made Elena silent and chose to eat properly. Even though her stomach wasn’t hungry, Elena was forced to finish the food on her plate. In her heart Elena vowed to teach Christian a lesson someday.

After thirty minutes had passed, the meeting was finally over. Elena, who was already very tormented because her stomach was filled with food beyond its capacity, had to be patient waiting for her guests to actually leave, as soon as the five people really left without asking permission first, Elena immediately ran to the toilet. Elena had to get rid of the tightness that was tormenting her.

“Elena,” Christian growls in annoyance. “That girl really has no rules, she’s so wild.”

“I will reprimand Elena as soon as possible, sir,” Kainer replied quickly.

“Good, I don’t want to see this kind of thing happen again in the future, Kainer. I don’t want my image to be ruined by that impudent poor girl,” Christian says again, without taking his eyes off Elena who is limping a little out of the women’s restroom. Even from a distance, Christian can see how pale Elena’s face is right now. Forcing out food that has been eaten is a very draining act.

“Don’t call me Elena Wilson if you can’t get back at you that annoying ugly devil!”
