Love Worth Fighting For

Right after Elena closed her lips, the elevator door behind Areez opened. Without wasting time, Elena rushed out because she couldn’t wait to finish all the food in her hands. While passing by Areez, Elena accidentally lifted her face so close to Areez who was looking down, their noses almost touched if only Areez didn’t hold his head straight up.

“You!!!”

“I-I didn’t mean to, after all it’s your own fault for not wanting to get out of the way when I was walking out,” replied Elena quickly, as fast as her movement that immediately ran fast to her room.

Areez, who had no intention of chasing after Elena, froze for a moment, being that close to Elena made Areez feel a strange feeling flashed through him. A feeling that bothered him a little. Areez’s thoughts finally broke when the elevator he was riding in stopped at the destination floor where his room was, Areez rushed out of the elevator and tried to forget his brief chat with the secretary of the person he hated the most, Christian Clarke. The one who had provoked the ire of an Areez Floyen. Areez, who doesn’t like to be belittled, decides to take revenge on Christian.

Elena who had managed to enter her room immediately took drinking water on the table and immediately finished it without remaining.

“I should have replied earlier,” said Elena with a short breath. “Ah no, you can’t do that, Elena. If you take revenge on that arrogant man then you won’t be much different from him.”

.....

Elena then shook her head, trying to get rid of the incident last night where she was doused by Areez with wine that ended up making her sick. Not wanting the food to get cold, Elena hurried over to the sofa to enjoy two large burgers with two large fries as well. Waking up from hunger made Elena go crazy while ordering food a while ago.

In no time, a large delicious burger with two layers of meat and vegetables made its way into Elena’s stomach. Elena, who was really hungry, didn’t want to waste her food, so Elena intended to spend all her precious food while watching an investigative program on a television station.

If there are many girls out there who avoid all things that smell like violence or other crimes, as with Elena, Elena actually likes investigative shows like that. Even in the past, when she still didn’t get a job, Elena would often stay up until the morning just to watch investigative shows that she thought were fun to watch.

“It’s five o’clock in the morning,” Elena mumbled softly as she kneaded the packet of french fries that she had just finished without any leftovers. “I’d better get ready, or else the Night King might get angry again.”

Immediately Elena got up from the bed where she was sitting and rushed to the bathroom to clean her body, because Elena had been sleeping since this afternoon. She was not sleepy at all even though she had only been awake from two in the morning until the morning before.

Christian who is used to getting up early looks already tidy in his three layers of clothes when Kainer knocks on his bedroom door, with light steps after getting a good quality sleep Christian walks towards the door.

“Good morning, Sir.” Kainer greeted Christian politely, as usual.

Instead of answering immediately, Christian turned his gaze to Elena’s room which was still tightly closed.

“There’s no way she’s still sleeping, can she,” Christian says in a barely audible voice.

However, because Kainer was currently standing very close to Christian she could hear the words that just came out of Christian’s thin lips that always managed to seduce women.

“Looks like Elena hasn’t fully recovered yet, Sir,” Kainer answered quickly.

Christian’s hands immediately clenched into fists. “That stubborn girl,” Christian growls in annoyance. “I shouldn’t have listened to her reason for being afraid of ghosts in the hospital, she seems to still need more treatment...”

Christian’s speech was cut off when Elena, who was already so beautiful in her brightly colored clothes that were beautifully attached to her body, surprisingly emerged from the room and immediately met with Christian who was still staring at Elena’s room.

“G-good morning,” Elena said nervously, not expecting Christian to be standing in front of her room.

“Already recovered?” Christian who managed to control himself, immediately gave a piercing question to Elena.

Elena nodded slowly. “Yes sir, I really am at my best and ready to get back to work at your service.”

What Elena meant at best was that she was full and full of energy, but Christian caught on to something else. Without changing his stiff facial expression, Christian grabs Elena’s hand suddenly.

“Sir..”

“You have to eat, last night you didn’t eat and I don’t want you to get sick again. You’ve only worked with me one day but you already made me pay for the hospital bill,” Christian says coldly, without giving Elena time to speak. Christian immediately pulls her into the elevator leaving her room and Elena’s room still wide open. Luckily, there was still Kainer who responded by deftly closing the door of Christian’s room and Elena’s room before finally running after Christian and Elena who were almost at the elevator.

“Eat, Elena!” in a firm voice that doesn’t want to be denied Christian orders Elena to eat the food that has been served in front of them.

Elena who was completely full after finishing two servings of burger and fries stares at Christian in horror, her stomach won’t be able to hold any more food at this point. If forced to eat then there is only one possibility, she will definitely vomit the food back.

“Elena...” Christian growls warningly.

“I-I’m still full, sir. I’m not hungry yet,” answered Elena honestly.

Christian frowns. “Still full? Not hungry yet? Don’t be joking, Elena. The last time you ate was yesterday at breakfast before you finally passed out, you’re not planning to faint again, are you?”

Elena immediately shook her head and was ready to open her mouth before a surprising sound of applause came from the table not far from the table where Christian was sitting. Christian, who doesn’t like anyone interrupting him when he’s talking, immediately turns his head, looking for the source of the voice. Elena and Kainer who sat beside Christian did the same thing.

As soon as he recognized who it was that had been bothering him so early, a cold aura filled with Christian anger came out. Elena who accidentally saw the look in Christian’s eyes shuddered in horror, Christian’s sharp gaze now was similar to the look in the eyes of criminals that he often saw on investigative shows, sadistic and ruthless.

“It is an immoral act for a man to force a woman who is already full to finish food again,” said the bully who was none other than Areez calmly, hearing the small conversation between Elena and Christian earlier made Areez interested in interfering.

“What do you mean!!”

Areez smirked. “Isn’t that right, Elena? You’re still full aren’t you after eating the junk food you ordered last night?”

“What...
