Love Worth Fighting For

280 Christian anxiety

“As soon as possible!”

“Eh?”

“You’ll be in touch with me soon, won’t you?” Christian’s eyes sparkle with hope, Christian really looks so shameless and this is the first time Christian looks so excited after eight months of darkness that haunts him.

Zwetta folded her arms across her chest. “This is the first time I’ve known someone as shameless as you.”

Instead of being angry because of Zwetta’s harsh words, Christian actually smiled broadly without the slightest hint of anger showing there. “This is the only thing I can do to repay my savior, after all I don’t know when a golden opportunity like this will come again.”

Zwetta raises her hands in the air, trying to stop Christian from speaking again. “Stop, don’t talk nonsense anymore. I’ll be in touch with you soon and since our conversation is over, I’ll excuse myself. There are still many places I want to explore in this city.”

“Do you need...”

“No! I’m not a spoiled lady who needs a driver, so you don’t have to bother.” Zwetta immediately cut Christian’s words, Zwetta knew what Christian was going to say. “Then excuse me and see you later.”

Without waiting for an answer from Christian, Zwetta then turned her body and hurried away from the place, leaving Christian and his four men who didn’t like her impudence. Zwetta who has been so trained that it is so easy to read someone’s expression, that’s why Zwetta knows that Christian’s four subordinates are angry with her.

.....

Christian was still where he was when Zwetta got on the bus that had just passed, his right hand slowly moving toward his left chest. Christian squeezes his left chest firmly, while talking to Zwetta a few moments ago Christian felt very uncomfortable. His heart was beating so fast, while talking to Zwetta.

“Are you all right, sir?”

Christian, who was trying to calm himself down, took a deep breath, the bodyguard’s question brought him to his senses.

“Let’s go to the hospital, I want to see Kainer’s condition,” Christian says quietly, changing the subject. “I’m worried about Kainer.”

***

Zwetta, who was already sitting in the bus whose destination she did not know, looked seriously at the business card Christian gave her, the flash of gold on the black business card was so striking. Curious about the figure of Christian Clarke whose business card she was holding, Zwetta then took out her cell phone and started looking for Christian Clarke’s name on the internet.

“No wonder he is so arrogant and spoiled, it turns out that his family is very rich,” Zwetta muttered quietly, commenting on Suri who was taking a photo with Christian. “Troublesome 21st century princess, I really can’t imagine having to deal with her.”

Because her curiosity has paid off, Zwetta then puts the cellphone and business card given by Christian into her shirt pocket. Zwetta who was not at all tempted by the treasure, chose to drink the medicine given by the doctor who treated her last night, Zwetta did not want to die if she suddenly fainted again. It would be very dangerous if she fainted in the wrong place.

“You’re not coming down, Miss?” asked one of the passengers who was standing in front of Zwetta.

“Down?”

“Yeah, we’ve arrived at the last stop.”

Damn it!

Zwetta, who had just enjoyed her trip, immediately got up from her seat, fortunately Zwetta only brought a small backpack that was not a hassle so that Zwetta didn’t have to have any trouble when she had to get off the bus in a hurry like she is now. With quick steps Zwetta followed the passenger who had just reminded her to get off.

“Stupid, why did I get on right away. You’re really smart Zwetta,” said Zwetta softly cursing her stupidity, Zwetta who had just taken the bus didn’t know that the bus she was riding would only take her to a bus stop not too far from the bus stop where she boarded for a while ago.

Realizing that she only moved a few meters, Zwetta immediately stopped the taxi. Zwetta who was lazy to deal with Christian was trying to keep as far as possible from the rich man, Zwetta had a bad feeling about the man. And Zwetta’s choice was right, because not long after she got into the taxi, the car carrying Christian passed by. If Zwetta hadn’t gotten into the cab, it was very likely that Christian Clarke would have seen her. Zwetta felt uncomfortable around Christian and this feeling Zwetta had never felt before. That’s why Zwetta wanted to avoid the man who had forced her to eat with him.

“You have to avoid him, Zee. He’s a dangerous man, don’t get yourself involved in that man’s life. There are too many enemies.”

Three days have passed since Christian was rescued again by Zwetta and during those three days Christian also looked so uneasy because Zwetta had not contacted him. Apart from Elena, Zwetta was the only woman who made a Christian Clarke so uneasy.

“She couldn’t possibly have left the country, could she?”

“That business card can’t be dropped or lost, can it?”

“Does a secret agent seem like she can’t have friends?”

Fuck!

Christian was really made so unsettled by his savior goddess, his already bubbling curiosity made him even less appetizing. For days staying in the hospital to look after Luna and Kainer whose condition is quite worrying. The punches and kicks that Kainer received three days ago fractured two of his ribs and should put him on complete rest for the next few weeks. And automatically Christian has to take care of all his own work without the help of his confidant. Christian, who had lost one wing again, had to give up his second broken wing, trial after trial had really come to Christian relentlessly for the past few weeks.

“Forgive me, sir.”

Christian who was sitting beside Kainer’s bed, gasped in surprise. “Huh?”

“I’m sorry for bothering you like this,” Kainer said back in a hoarse voice, his chest still aching when he spoke.

Christian shakes his head. “You don’t need to apologize to me, you didn’t bother me at all. I should be the one apologizing to you for making you like this.”

“No cough...”

“Enough! Don’t talk anymore, you’re still not allowed to talk much!”

Kainer nodded slowly, his face already looking refreshed compared to two days ago.

“If you want to know about the fate of the five people then I will tell you, the five of them are ex-convicts who are used to going in and out of prison. The leader is Dani Dimmico, he is a German who has committed many crimes. And the attack they carried out yesterday was masterminded by one of my business rivals, they still haven’t given a clear explanation.”

Kainer frowned, he looked displeased to hear the master’s explanation.

“And it’s not only you who feel weird, I also feel the same oddity. I’m pretty sure the criminals are still telling lies, that’s why the bodyguards are currently interrogating them,” Christian added again, trying to calm Kainer who looked very dissatisfied with it.

Kainer’s tense face slowly disappears and Christian smiles a little at that, even though his condition is still recovering but Kainer is still thinking about Christian. His loyalty to his master was really so great.

Christian touches Kainer’s shoulder. “Don’t think about anything, I can still take care of everything. The most important thing right now is your recovery, Kainer.”

“Yes sir, I understand.”

“Okay then, I have to go to the office now. If there’s anything, just call me, you understand, don’t you?”

“I’m not that weak, sir,” Kainer protested quickly, looking displeased at Christian’s words.

Christian laughed amused at the protest that Kainer had just made, because he didn’t want to keep Kainer awake. Christian left Kainer’s treatment room which was not far from Luna’s treatment room.

“Are you ready to go, young master?” asked Romaria politely.

Christian smiles. “Yeah, I have some work to do today as well.”

“You must take care of your health, sir,” said Romaria worriedly. “You look so skinny already.”
