43 [Bonus chapter]Physical touch

Elena almost screams loudly, Christian’s answer to Kainer’s words makes Elena want to grab the coffee cup in Christian’s hands right now and pour it over the man’s head. How could he say he didn’t like coffee when he had almost finished half of Elena’s coffee. Thinking about this, Elena accidentally squeaked in annoyance and unfortunately the sound of Elena’s snoring was not so loud that Christian could hear who immediately turned his face towards Elena.

“You are mocking me?” The accusation is cruel.

“Me? Of course not, sir.” Elena dodged quickly.

“Then you...”

“I was just venting my frustration at seeing the repeated mistakes made by this financial staff, sir,” replied Elena quickly using another excuse. “Even though there is only one ‘zero’ difference, the effect is very detrimental to the company.”

One Christian eyebrow raised, he quickly put Elena’s coffee cup on the table that was not filled with documents and hurried to sit next to Elena who was facing dozens of important documents scattered on the table.

“Show me,” Christian pleads hoarsely.

Elena was grateful she had such a good memory, in one glance she could remember it well. And her extraordinary abilities come in handy when she’s working with Christian, for example. Elena accidentally saw the swelling of funds listed in one of the proposals submitted by the finance party to disburse a number of funds that had to go through Christian’s approval first, in that proposal it was clear that there was real fraud. Even though Elena calls it a mistake, Elena is sure Christian will understand where the conversation is going.

“Fuck... how could they do this,” Christian growls with emotion when Elena shows him her findings.

.....

Elena pursed her lips. “And not just one, sir. There are two other proposals that have a similar error,” Elena says quietly as she hands Christian the other two papers.

Without a word Christian accepts the paper Elena gave him, his blue eyes widen when he sees what is written there.

“Kainer!” Christian screams loudly. “Gather all the financial staff in the meeting room, I want them to account for this report this afternoon.”

Kainer nodded obediently. “Yes sir.” After talking like that, Kainer rushed out of Christian’s room, leaving Christian’s coffee on the table.

Christian’s flushed face clearly shows how angry he is right now and Elena could swear that she was feeling so pressured to be next to an angry Christian, if possible Elena wanted to run as far as possible from this side of Christian who was about to explode.



“Elena.”

Elena’s body stiffened. “Yes, sir.”

“Take all these documents and come with me to the meeting room, accompany me to eradicate those immoral greedy rats.” Christian’s voice filled with thick anger immediately entered Elena’s ears.

But Elena who has an excessive fear of disgusting animals that incidentally live in the sewers immediately climbs onto the sofa without taking off her high heels with a scream full of fear that is not made up, Christian who is thinking of ways to punish people who have tried to steal money from his company was shocked when he heard the sound of Elena’s screams so loud that it entered his eardrums.

“The rat....where is the rat?” Elena screamed hysterically. “Quickly kill that terrible beast, sir.”

Christian’s eyes blinked confused at Elena’s incoherent chatter, but his intelligent brain immediately worked quickly. An unusual smile spreads across Christian’s face, his mischievous intent to tease Elena suddenly emerges.

“You’re afraid of mice, Elena?” Christian asks quietly.

Elena shook her head. “No, I’m not afraid,” replied Elena lying. “I just feel ticklish.”

“Amused?”

“Yeah, looking at that whiskered snout made me hhh... no, I don’t want to remember what it looked like. So please get rid of that animal quickly, sir. I really...”

“Really?”

Elena’s cheeks reddened. “I’m really scared of rats,” Elena answered honestly in the end, her attempts not to show her fear of rats to no avail. Christian easily guessed what was on her mind.

Christian is enjoying the pleasant sight before him, seeing the fear Elena is showing without making him feel good. Even though he didn’t see Elena’s interactions with mice directly, Christian believes Elena really has an excessive fear of rodents.

“You forgot where you are now, Elena?” Christian asks softly while keeping his face up, towards Elena who is still standing on her expensive sofa with her shoes that are definitely dirty.

“Hmm...”

“Look around you,” Christian says quietly.

Like a child, Elena then looked around the room. Instantly her face turned red when she realized where she was now, with hot cheeks Elena tried to get off the sofa where she was standing. However, because Elena is currently wearing a skirt that is above the knee, Elena is having a hard time going down. Especially now that there is Christian standing in front of her.

“Can’t get down?”

Elena nods slowly in response to the question Christian just asked, she is embarrassed to open her lips.

“You went upstairs so fast, but why can’t you go down now? That’s weird,” Christian says annoyed as he holds out his hand to Elena.

Elana, who still doubts that she can get down just by holding on to Christian’s hand, still doesn’t move, she thinks hard trying to find the best way to get off the sofa. The change in his facial expression that was so visible Christian managed to catch, because he was impatient. Christian then moved quickly. Without opening his lips, Christian then lands his hands on the right and left of Elena’s waist before he finally lifts Elena easily to get off the sofa.

“T..thank you, sir,” Elena stammered with a blush appearing on her cheeks.

“You’re much bigger than a mouse, why are you afraid of an animal no bigger than your feet, huh?”

“I have bad memories with mice, sir.” Elena spoke with her head down.

Christian frowns. “Bad memories with mice? What happened? You can’t sleep in the same bed with mice, can you?”

Elena panicked, she quickly shook her head. “No, how could such a thing happen, sir.”

“Then?”

Elena’s whole body shook, the bad memories that had made her so afraid of rats replayed in her head. Her eyes immediately filled with tears that were ready to come out. Seeing Elena almost crying immediately a sense of guilt rose within Christian, Christian surprisingly grabbed Elena’s hand and pulled her into his arms.

“Don’t cry, I won’t ask again why,” Christian says quietly, trying to calm Elena down.

Elena who is still shocked from being suddenly hugged by Christian chooses to lock her lips, she doesn’t have the courage to speak at this time. The refreshing scent emanating from Christian’s body made her mind even more confused.

Because Elena doesn’t respond to his words, Christian’s mischievous intentions reappear. “What...what is that?” Christian screams loudly.

Elena, who did not know Christian’s naughty plan, immediately released herself from Christian’s arms by force. “W..what’s wrong, sir?”

“Rat.. I saw it, its tail just seemed to emerge from...”

Christian’s speech was stopped when Elena who was so scared immediately hugged him tightly, Elena even had time to jump on Christian’s body. Which makes Christian inevitably have to hold onto Elena’s body, which is currently hanging from his neck like a baby koala that doesn’t want to be separated from its mother’s body. Elena, are you serious?
