Love Worth Fighting For

59 Home

“I work to be a secretary, not to be a model, ladies and gentlemen. So sorry if my face doesn’t match the standard you’ve imagined all along.” From behind the wall Elena appeared, interrupting Siena’s talk who always boasted of being a model staff to everyone.

Not only Siena and her friends were silent, several staff from other divisions were silent when they heard the words of Elena the CEO secretary that the female staff were talking about.

“Maybe it’s true that I was chosen by Mr. Christian at a time that seemed rushed, but you must know that during the recruitment process I was not the only candidate who applied for this position. There were still fifteen other people who were also selected. finally Mr. Christian Clarke chose me to be his secretary, so there is one plus point that I have compared to other candidates who were not selected, maybe also from those of you who have worked for this company for a long time,” said Elena scathingly by not letting go of her eye contact with Siena and ten the other senior staff people were fearless, despite being raised by parents who were so gentle but Elena had poor emotional control skills. Elena was easily ignited.

No one dared to answer Elena’s words, they fell silent in anger. Even though they were seniors in the office but Elena’s words made a lot of sense, being a CEO’s secretary was a position that couldn’t be filled by just anyone. And if Elena was finally chosen after defeating a dozen other candidates, it meant that Elena really had an ability that couldn’t be underestimated.

Christian Clarke who is so perfectionist, of course he will not choose a secretary arbitrarily, right? A secretary with a seductively sexy body and a voluptuous face to sleep with is not the type of secretary Christian wants. The secretary that Christian needs is one who can work under his strong pressure and domination and Elena is the only Christian Clarke secretary who can last more than ten days. Three weeks to be exact. None of Christian’s old secretaries can survive the fourth day, they always submit their resignation letters on the fifth day.

Instantly Elena’s intention to recharge by drinking coffee vanished, hearing some female staff humiliate her in a public place like this made Elena’s consciousness immediately return.

“And one more.” Elena spoke again after a few minutes no one answered her words. “If you don’t like me, say it in front of me. Not in this way, crowding in public and telling bad things about someone who hasn’t been proven. The way you guys do this is usually only done by cowards who envy other people’s success.”

Seina’s face immediately turned red. So did the female staff who had previously talked about Elena. While not far from where Selena and the girls were sitting, some of the male staff chuckled amusedly at what had happened to Elena and her friends. They openly praised Elena who dared to speak like that.

Feeling that there was nothing else she could do in that place, Elena immediately turned her body and hurriedly walked away from the canteen which rumbled as soon as Elena stepped foot for the first time. The sound of whistling and clapping and shouting from the male staff who were in that place could still be heard by Elena when she was about to enter the elevator.

.....

“I don’t think any of the men in this building are in their right mind,” Elena growls irritated, her anger at the seniors who have looked down on her. Elena takes out on Christian. “It’s all because of that insane boss too and right now I’m trapped around him too...oh Elena you really have bad luck.”

After continuing to grumble, Elena then stepped out of the elevator that had stopped a few minutes ago. With her head down, Elena went back into her study to take care of the dozens of files she had to finish before today. The absence of Christian and Kainer in the office makes Elena the busiest person at the moment, dozens of documents that need to be signed are now lined up vertically to form a mountain that almost drowned Elena who was sitting behind the desk.

Oh my God..

Those two sentences are what Elena repeats again and again, being the CEO’s secretary is really a job that takes a lot of energy, mind and heart. Especially if the CEO is that annoying Christian Clarke, Elena’s life is really not easy. After being unemployed for two years now she is trapped in a vicious circle that makes her claustrophobic, Christian and his female admirer staff are really testing Elena’s sanity which is getting eroded.

“Come on, Elena. You have to finish all of this immediately if you don’t want to come home late again,” said Elena in her heart, encouraging herself as she put her cellphone in the pocket of the blazer that wrapped her body.

After a long and tiring journey, the Clarke family’s plane lands at Luxembourg’s international airport. With feelings that can’t be described, Christian carries Suri who is still asleep in his sleep in a bridal style. After three years, this is the first time Suri has slept so soundly. Inhaling the scent of her sister’s favorite perfume is back to being a natural sleeping pill for Suri at this time, that’s why she doesn’t wake up at all even though her body was lifted from the plane seat by Christian who is now carrying her down the stairs.

“Welcome back, sir.”

“Shh...my sister is sleeping, don’t make a sound.” Christian immediately stopped greeting some of his personal guards who almost followed the greeting that Ronin gave to Christian.

The ten men dressed in all black immediately closed their lips tightly, they canceled their intention to greet the young master who since getting off the plane has been smiling even though he was carrying Suri’s sleeping body.

As soon as Christian managed to sit properly in the car, Ronin who had been waiting at the airport for more than thirty minutes then got into the same car as Christian after Kainer who had also got into the car.

On the way home, no one dared to speak. They were too afraid to disturb the sleep of the princess who had been missing for three years. Christian himself also locks his own lips, he continues to stare at the peaceful face of Suri who is sleeping in his lap.

“I still feel like this is all a dream,” Christian says quietly, breaking the silence in the metallic black limousine. “This torturous and exhausting search is finally over today, this whiny spoiled girl I finally managed to find.”

“Madam must be very happy when she gets her birthday present this time, sir.” Ronin immediately commented on Christian’s words.

Christian smiles. “Sure and I can’t wait to see her expression when she sees her birthday present, that’s why I ask you to keep this a secret. Don’t let the news of Suri’s return leak out, I really want to surprise my parents this weekend. ”

“Yes sir, we will take good care of this happy news. You don’t have to worry.”

“Thank you...oh yeah how about the doctor I asked for?”

“They’ve been waiting for Miss Suri to come home, sir,” answered Ronin quickly.

“How many doctors are there?”

“One general practitioner and two specialists who work at the Clarke family hospital, sir. So you can be sure they will keep this a secret.”

Christian’s lips curl into a wide smile. “Thank you Ronin, you’ve helped me a lot in the last three years so that today I can finally bring my sister home.”

“Don’t thank me, sir. It’s my job, so you don’t need to thank me. I’m actually very happy that you trusted me to help you,” Ronin replies quickly, rejecting Christian’s compliment. As one of the people who have worked with Christian for a long time, Ronin knows how regretful Christian is in the loss of Suri three years ago. That’s why he doesn’t refuse when Christian contacts him in the middle of the night to seek information about Suri.

Christian lifts his head, looking at Ronin and Kainer, the two people who were so determined to help him find Suri. “I’m lucky to have you both, thank you again so much for all the help you’ve given me.”

Kainer and Ronin just nodded slowly, they didn’t dare to open their mouths for fear of disturbing Suri’s sleep who was just squirming. Being in the middle of the three men who were talking made Suri feel a little disturbed.

Christian who realized this then stroked Suri’s sharp nose with his fingers, a habit that Christian used to do to put Suri back to sleep when they were little and what Christian had just succeeded. Suri fell back into her beautiful dream which had come true.

“Welcome home, Suri... thank you for sticking around waiting for me to come.” Christian continues to speak silently as the car that took him from the airport begins to enter the high gates of the Clarke family residence which is guarded with the best security systems.

As soon as the car carrying Christian and Suri stopped, three doctors and two nurses immediately stood up with ten servants, preparing to welcome the arrival of the master who had just returned from a tiring journey.

“Suri...” Christian tries to wake Suri from her sleep.

Suri did not budge, her brother’s soft voice didn’t manage to wake her up.

Christian smiles amused when he sees Suri who is actually looking for the best position to go back to sleep.

“We’ve arrived home, Suri.”

Christian’s second words managed to break Suri’s dreamland, instantly the two beautiful blue beads opened wide. Suri’s smile immediately widens when she sees Christian’s face, the face she’s been wanting to see for the past three years.

“Thanks God, apparently I’m not dreaming,” said Suri hoarsely with a happy glint clearly visible in her eyes.
