Areez pursed his lips. “Why are you asking my personal problems at an event like this, you want to let everyone know that Mira and I aren’t what they thought they were all this time, right?”

Aldrich immediately raised his hands in the air. “Woo...wo...relax, dude. I’m just asking, you don’t have to be this angry.”

“And I’m just answering your question, where did it go wrong?” Talking to Areez really takes extra patience.

“No wonder Mira is so cold to you, you really can’t be helped, Areez. You’re so annoying,” Aldrich taunted irritatedly, his intention to talk in a normal way like everyone else didn’t seem to be happening, Areez couldn’t be spoken to properly.

“I don’t have much time, hurry up and say what you want to say.”

“Okay, looks like I need to get straight to the point. This is about a project you’re developing in South Australia.”

.....

Areez’s face immediately changed. “What’s the problem? Isn’t everything going well?”

“Big problem, Areez. The reclamation project was blocked by a permit from the local government and...”

“And?”

“Clarke Enterprises.”

Elena stood right in front of Christian’s desk for nearly thirty minutes, her legs already starting to hurt. The high heels she wore this morning felt like thorns, painful and excruciating. Christian being busy talking to someone on the phone is the main cause of the first torment for Elena today.

Last night, when Elena’s family’s pastry shop was about to close, Kainer came with three bodyguards. Because Elena hadn’t come home yet, finally Kainer explained the reason for his coming that night to Elena’s parents until this morning Elena was forced to come to Clarke Enterprise to meet Christian, the person she slapped yesterday. Yes, Elena slapped a Christian Clarke.

“Keep an eye on everyone, I don’t want our hotel to be disturbed by the existence of this garbage project. Use all means to thwart the plan, bring environmental issues to get a lot of support from the local community,” Christian said coldly to his subordinates who were in Adelaide.

From where she was standing Elena could clearly hear what Christian was saying, Elena subconsciously shrugged her shoulders as she felt the back of her neck suddenly go cold. The cold aura emitted by Christian pierced her skin, Elena regretted her decision to curl her hair this morning.

“Good, keep updating this matter. Don’t disappoint me, Baron.”

After saying that Christian hung up the phone and for a few minutes Christian still didn’t turn around, still in a position with his back to Elena who hadn’t changed her position since Kainer ushered her into the room.

“Fuck...” Christian stops his cursing when he sees Elena, his blue eyes staring intently at Elena who is standing in the middle of his room. “What are you doing here?” Good, good question, Christ!

Elena almost exploded at the nonsensical question that came out of Christian’s lips, this arrogant man really made her have to have patience as wide as the ocean.

“Ahh ... I remember,” Christian said suddenly, answering the question he had previously said. “So Miss Elena Wilson is finally back at Clarke Enterprise today, huh?”

“How can I not return to this company if your personal assistant mentions the amount of the penalty I must pay to this company, sir,” replied Elena sarcastically, sarcastically referring to what Kainer had done last night to her parents.

One of Christian’s eyebrows rises. “Penalty?” Christian doesn’t know about this.

“Three million dollars, that’s a huge amount for poor people like us, sir. So how come I didn’t come this morning,” replied Elena flatly, trying to hold back the biting feeling in her legs.

Christian is silent for a while hearing Elena’s words, he looks confused and doesn’t understand why Elena suddenly mentions numbers to him. However, due to the ability of his intelligent brain, it wasn’t long before Christian finally knew what Elena was talking about.

“That’s the smallest penalty amount in this company, Elena.”

“The smallest for you, but not for us.”

“Ok, forget about the penalty anyway you are in front of me in the end aren’t you.” Christian leans back against the chair with a smile. “So is there something you want to tell me first, Elena?”

Elena immediately swallowed her saliva, she knew where Christian was talking at this time. From his seat, Christian smiled coldly at the change in Elena’s expression, which was very frightening at this time, being in front of Christian like this made Elena look like a rabbit in a tiger’s cage. The pressure given by Christian is too strong and very intimidating, Elena regrets her decision yesterday to slap Christian. Because following her lust, finally Elena is stuck in big trouble.

“Sorry.”

“Hmm?”

“I’m sorry, sir,” Elena repeats quietly without daring to look up at Christian.

Christian smirks. “I’ll consider your apology after seeing your performance above...”

“I’m not that kind of woman, sir.” Cut Elena panicked.
