Love Worth Fighting For

“Why did you bring me to your office again?” Zwetta finally opened her mouth.

“I’m taking you to where it all started, Zee.”

Zwetta frowned. “What do you mean? I do not understand!”

“You’ll know the answer once we get off.”

“Not!” Zwetta firmly rejects any kind of manipulation Christian is trying to do to her. “I don’t want to come down, I want to go back to my hotel and...”

“All the questions you have in your head will be answered in this office, Zee.” Christian cuts off Zwetta’s words.

Zwetta frowned. “All the questions that are in my head? What are the questions in my head? Don’t pretend to know!”

Christian smiles, facing how cold and curt Zwetta is now, making him remember his first meeting with Elena two years ago in his office, when Elena participated in the selection of secretary for him. At that time Elena who spoke sweetly and softly suddenly spoke very sharply and coldly like Zwetta is doing now when she is misinterpreting the meaning of her words, Elena misunderstood Christian’s ambiguous sentence at that time. Apparently even though Jody Wilson is trying desperately to turn Zwetta into a sweet and kind Elena Wilson like her daughter who died a tragic death, Zwetta’s true nature still emerges naturally and this makes Christian’s hopes even greater to be able to conquer Zwetta.

.....

“Don’t you want to know why I mentioned Elena’s name even though I was in your bed?”

Zwetta’s cheeks immediately turn red, every time Christian brings up bed problems she is always restless and unsettled. After all, Christian was the first man in her life, the man who made her feel the physical pleasures of an adult human couple that she had never felt before.

“About my relationship with Elena, what happened to her and why she mysteriously disappeared you will find all the answers in my office,” Christian says again.

“Why in your office? Is Elena Wilson one of your employees who...wait, she couldn’t have been waiting for us in your office, could she?” Zwetta immediately called for her own conclusion.

Christian smiled faintly, he wanted to kiss Zwetta’s wet lips right now. But Christian chooses not to do that, he doesn’t want to mess up his well-established plan.

“Like I said, you’ll get all the answers to your questions in my office. So come on down.” Christian’s hand moves back, trying to carefully reach Zwetta’s box of lava cake. “The sooner we get down, the sooner you can enjoy this delicious chocolate lava cake.”

Zwetta huffed in annoyance. Sometimes Christian seduces her out of the car by using food as a lure. But, the lava cake with Belgian chocolate that was so delicious she couldn’t resist, the sweetness of the cake and a bit of bitterness from the pure chocolate really made her saliva almost dripping profusely at this time. Damn it!

Not wanting to see Christian’s annoying smile, Zwetta decided to get out of the luxury car immediately. Leaving behind her ugly backpack, Zwetta follows Christian’s steps to the elevator she’s used several times while accompanying Christian to work a few weeks ago. Because currently Zwetta is not wearing a hat and mask, as a result, her beautiful face can be seen by everyone and this also makes the bodyguards who are welcoming Christian surprised. They looked so surprised to see the figure of a beautiful girl who was walking beside the master.

“Why are the bodyguards looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with my appearance?”

Christian shakes his head slowly. “You always look perfect to me, Zee.”

“I’m serious, Christ!!”

“I’m a lot more serious than you think, Zee.” Christian resumes talking without breaking his eye contact from Zwetta.

Zwetta rolled her eyes, she was tired of talking to Christian. Zwetta knows if Christian is deliberately making her curious and unfortunately now she is very curious, Christian is really very cunning. He easily plays with his tongue to make his interlocutor dissolve in his words, as Zwetta is currently experiencing. Zwetta would really prefer to face a hundred people like Osbert, rather than having to deal with Christian like now.

The tinkling sound of the elevator making Zwetta, who previously learned lazily against the elevator wall, stood up straight, finally her suffering was over. Breathing oxygen in a cramped room with Christian in a cramped room like this made her uncomfortable, everything that had to do with Christian Clarke was annoying to her.

“Please.” Christian holds out his hand, motioning for Zwetta to get out of the elevator first.

Zwetta snorted in annoyance. “Don’t overdo it.”

“I’m not exaggerating, I’m just trying to keep myself from being the butt of the staff if you get out of the elevator before you do.”

Zwetta is speechless, Christian is really talkative. Reluctantly, Zwetta finally stepped out of the elevator. As soon as Zwetta got out of the elevator, suddenly two staff who happened to be waiting for the elevator beside Christian’s special elevator dropped the files in their hands.

The shock of the two female staff is heightened when Christian emerges from the elevator, the two young ladies hastily crouched down and straightening their scattered files on the floor.

“Do not.” Christian immediately grabbed Zwetta’s hand, Christian stopped Zwetta who wanted to help the two employees. “It was their fault.”

Zwetta immediately turned to Christian, intending to protest but the piercing stare that Christian gave at this time made Zwetta cancel her intention.

“And you two,” Christian rebukes loudly at the two girls whose bodies are already shaking with fear. “Today is your last day of work, immediately pack your things and meet the party...”

Christian almost uttered a sacred sentence that the staff was so afraid of that if Zwetta didn’t immediately shut Christian’s mouth, Zwetta who can already read where Christian’s words are going immediately takes action. She felt sorry for the two young girls if Christian actually fired them.

“Do not try anything with me.” Zwetta gives Christian a stern warning. “It’s not a fatal mistake that should make you fire them.”

Christian’s blue eyes stared straight at Zwetta who was also staring at him without blinking, if at this time there were no other people among them Christian might have scooped and enjoyed Zwetta’s thin lips that were so sweet when sucked. Damn it. Christian’s pants suddenly feel tight. Christian will go crazy if he continues like this, the pheromones released by Zwetta’s body really make him crazy.

Since Christian didn’t give any reaction, Zwetta then took her hand away from Christian’s face, after which she looked back and said, “Go on, please get back to your work.”

“T..thank you Elena.” The two female staff thanked them simultaneously by mentioning Elena’s name before the two finally rushed into the elevator. The two were afraid that the boss would actually fire them.

Zwetta’s body immediately stiffened, even though she already knew that her face was similar to Elena Wilson’s face but Zwetta didn’t expect anyone to call her by that name.

“Elena..why do they call me by that name?” An impatient Zwetta immediately asked Christian. “Did that Elena Wilson work for you before?”

“Elena!!”

Spontaneously, Zwetta looked back, towards the source of the voice that had just said Elena’s name so loud and clear.

“Oh you really are Elena.” Sienna, who was standing with her best friends, spoke again in such a loud voice. Without shame, Sienna stepped towards Zwetta and immediately hugged her tightly as if the two of them were close friends who had just met again.

Zwetta who didn’t expect to get such treatment from the girl who had already talked about it could only surrender, she didn’t put up any resistance and let Sienna hug her tightly like that.

“We all missed you so much, Elena,” Sienna said in such a made-up voice. “You look even more beautiful.”

“Right, this short hairstyle really suits you, Elena.” One of the other staff joined in, echoing Sienna’s words.

“Where have you been this year and a half, Elena?” Sienna, who was so curious about Zwetta, spoke again, trying to get her attention back. Sienna wanted to know everything about Elena being able to reappear with Christian all of a sudden like this.

Not wanting to see Zwetta controlled by his employees, Christian then stepped forward to keep Zwetta and Sienna apart. “Have you finished your work?” he asked coldly and intimidatingly.

Instantly the faces of Sienna and the other three staff went pale, the four of their mouths were also locked tightly.

“If your work has not been completed, quickly finish it. Don’t let me call your manager to check your work and give it to me.”

As soon as Christian shuts his mouth, Sienna and her three friends say their goodbyes and rush away from Christian and Zwetta. They decided to return to their respective desks, and so did Sienna. Although Sienna was curious about Elena Wilson’s appearance, she was more afraid of losing her job. If she gets fired from Clarke Enterprise, then her chance to get close to Christian will be lost forever and Sienna doesn’t want this to happen.

“Actually what...”

“I’ll explain everything in my room,” Christian said quietly as he grabbed Zwetta’s hand and pulled her towards his study which was still tightly closed.
