Chapter 106



And Mrs. Camila who was surprised to see that her daughter had come home did not have the heart to wake her up, Elena’s sleep was so sound that the woman who was no longer young decided to close her daughter’s open room and let her sleep a little longer.

“Elena is home?”

“Shhh... don’t be so loud.” Mrs Camila immediately forbade her husband to speak. “We’d better go downstairs, let Elena sleep. Poor her, she looks so tired.”

Mr. Wilson nodded, not long after that the husband and wife went back down to the first floor to continue their work as usual, leaving Elena so exhausted.

Arriving on the first floor, the husband and wife who were not young anymore set to work, joining two of their other workers to make the cake that has been their source of income for years.

***

Just like Elena, Christian also still hasn’t woken up when Kainer is ready for work. Last night, as soon as they got home, Kainer went straight to her room leaving Christian alone in the living room as he was still talking to Elena via video call. Kainer, knowing that Christian doesn’t like being disturbed when he’s talking at all, decides to go to sleep right away.

“How is it, Kainer?” Jorge asked in a half whisper to Kainer who was standing beside him.

.....

Kainer took a deep breath. “Let the young master sleep longer and make sure there is no activity on the first floor, ask all servants to stay away from this place. Young master needs rest.”

“Ok, I will instruct all the maids not to work on the 1st floor today. Nor will I open the curtains on the first floor so that the young master is not disturbed by the morning sun.”

Kainer nodded her head at the butler’s words at the Clarke family mansion, not wanting to disturb Christian, Kainer immediately left the living room where Christian was lying on one of the sofas in a pillow position. As a very disciplined person, it is impossible for Christian to sleep anywhere. Therefore when the maids found him sleeping on the sofa, they immediately knew that the young master was not feeling well. That’s why no one dared to make a sound when they worked a few hours ago to make breakfast, until finally Jorge came to the pantry and the maids reported what they found in the living room.

Realizing that he couldn’t just relax, Kainer decided to go to the office. He has to take care of pending work to replace Christian and Elena who certainly won’t be leaving for the office this morning either. Seeing how soundly Christian was sleeping made Kainer sure that Elena must have been sleeping this morning too. Although at first he doubted the continuity of Christian and Elena’s relationship, now Kainer finally realized that Christian treated Elena very special, very different from when he treated his former lover in the past. Elena’s unmaterialistic nature makes her look special in Christian’s eyes and that’s what made Kainer finally realize that the person Christian needs is Elena, someone who doesn’t see who he is, how much money he has and what his position in society is like.

Arriving at the office, several new staff members greeted Kainer with respect. Kainer’s position as Christian’s personal assistant earned him great respect in the office, especially by the female staff who idolized Christian so much.

“Good morning, Kainer.” Siena, who had just arrived, immediately greeted Kainer with her soft voice when she managed to get rid of a procurement staff who was standing beside Kainer who was waiting for the elevator.

“Morning.” Kainer answered Siena’s greeting politely, if she was with Christian it would be impossible for Siena to greet her like this morning.

Siena smiled. “You were late this morning, weren’t you?”

Kainer frowned. “Too late? It’s still half past eight in the morning. How can I be late?”

“Usually you come with Mr. Christian, but this morning you came alone. Doesn’t that mean you didn’t come with Mr. Christian who came earlier, huh?” The self-aware Siena spoke non-stop, emitting ugly thoughts in her brain.

Kainer who has more patience than everyone who works for Christian thins his lips at Siena’s words, studying Kainer turns to Siena who is putting on a fake smile. “In fact, I came alone this morning because Mr. Christian is having business that cannot be left with Elena.”

“With Elena? What’s the matter?” Siena’s face immediately changes as soon as Kainer mentions Christian and Elena have the same business.

Kainer, who could already guess where Siena’s conversation was going, smiled again. “Elena is Mr. Christian’s private secretary, it has become mandatory for her to accompany Mr. Christian to a business meeting. So I don’t think I need to explain anymore, right, where they went this morning. Besides, Mr. Christian and Elena’s business is completely unrelated to you. You’re a financial person who doesn’t continue to have business with Mr. Christian so it would be odd to even want to know where Mr Christian went with his secretary this morning.”

Sienna’s face immediately turned white like a bloodless vampire, Kainer’s answer was so firm and stern that embarrassed her. Especially now that they are talking in front of the elevator, where there are several other staff who are also waiting for the elevator with the two of them. Kainer’s habit in the absence of Christian is to use the elevator for the employees, that’s why she is currently queuing in front of the elevator for the employees, not Christian’s special elevator which is only allowed to be used by him.

Seeing that Siena was no longer talking, Kainer gave a small smile. Kainer, who is very introverted, doesn’t really talk much to people she has nothing to do with, especially the female staff who love to steal glances at Christian when she’s with him. That’s why right now when talking to Siena, Kainer was so cold. Knowing that Siena was one of the causes of the misunderstanding between Christian and Elena made Kainer have little judgment on Siena.

Since the lift was already open, Kainer immediately got into the lift past Siena who was still frozen. Some of the staff who wanted to enter the elevator even had to pass through Siena because Siena did not want to leave where she was standing. Having received the title of best employee from Christian directly made Siena have a high seniority attitude towards other employees.

While in the elevator, none of the staff dared to speak. Hearing how Kainer talked to Siena scared them, until finally the staff went down one by one on their respective floors where they worked leaving Kainer who still had to stay in the elevator to the highest floor, where he worked.

Arriving at the study, Kainer immediately took care of the pile of documents that had been neatly arranged on his desk. Just about to start opening his laptop, Kainer was startled by the sound of his cell phone ringing suddenly. Kainer became even more nervous when he saw who it was that was calling him. Anne Clarke, the great lady who could only be counted on the fingers, contacted him. Anne would only call when she had important business and this time, Kainer already knew where the madam was calling him.

“Good morning Madam.” With his best smile, Kainer immediately received a video call from Anne who was sitting with Suri in the back garden.

“Morning, Kainer.” Anne and Suri answered simultaneously.

“Can I help you, madam?”

“Where’s Christian? Why hasn’t his phone been on since last night? You went straight back to Luxembourg last night, didn’t you?” Anne, who was impatient, immediately gave some questions directly to Kainer.

“Yeah, I’ve also contacted my brother since this morning but he didn’t receive any book calls. My brother is fine, right, Kainer?” Suri asked not wanting to lose, Suri who wanted to thank Christian for the birthday gift she received was forced to accept disappointment after no message was responded to by her brother.

Kainer clenched one hand to stop herself from saying the wrong thing, since being on the plane last night Christian immediately turned off the cell phone specifically for his family members. That’s why it was only natural that neither Anne nor the rest of the Clarke family could contact him.

“My son is alright, Kainer?” Anne asked again, but this time her voice sounded like she was holding back tears. Although Kainer wasn’t there when she slapped Christian yesterday, Anne is sure that Kainer knows what she’s done to her beloved son.

“We arrived safely last night, madam. The young master went straight to bed after we got home and this morning he was active as usual, madam,” said Kainer lying slightly, although Anne has more power but his loyalty remains for Christian. Kainer didn’t dare tell Anne about Christian’s true condition, he didn’t have that much courage.

“If my brother is fine why hasn’t his cell phone been active since last night, Kainer?!”

Kainer pursed his lips. “Young master’s cell phone is out of battery, Miss.”

“Out of battery until this morning? Did he not charge his cellphone like that? Come on, Kainer. Don’t lie to me, I’m not a kid you can fool,” said Suri annoyed, Suri was not satisfied with Kainer’s answer which was considered too market.

“Young Master’s weakness that hasn’t disappeared until now is that he doesn’t care about his personal belongings, Miss. Do you remember the incident eight years ago when the Young Master left his passport at the restaurant where we ate while we were transiting at Dubai airport while leaving for Japan,” said Kainer wisely. “And so far the young master has not completely overcome one of his weaknesses.”

Suri immediately pursed her lips. “So my brother really hasn’t charged his phone, huh?”

“Yes Miss, I promise after he returns I will immediately remind him to charge his cellphone,” Kainer replied back.

“Where is Christian going now? Why aren’t you coming? Aren’t you his personal assistant, why don’t you accompany him, Kainer?” asked Anne quietly.

Kainer clenched his fists again when he received an unexpected question from the madam.

“Who is Christian going with at the moment, Kainer?”

Kainer straightened up. “With his new secretary, madam.”

“New secretary, is that the girl you invited to Suri’s birthday party last night?” asked Anne emphatically.
