Love Worth Fighting For

75 Christian and his money

The declaration of ownership that Christian gave to Elena a few moments ago made Elena not focus on work, she still doesn’t understand why Christian said that to her. And to make matters worse, she doesn’t object to what Christian says and does to her.

“Ish Elena stupid,” Elena grumbled annoyed. “Why are you silent? Why don’t you refuse when he...”

“Hey, why are you still not ready?” Christian says quietly startling Elena who is sitting in her chair. “Come on, didn’t I ask you to get ready five minutes ago?”

Elena swallowed, looking back at the person who had stolen her first kiss like this made her heart skip a beat.

“Come on..”

“We, where are we going?” asked Elena quickly, trying to hide her nervousness.

Christian smiles. “You’ll know when we get there.”

“Sir...”

“Christian, call me Christian. I hate hearing you call me that.” Christian cuts Elena off with a wide smile, a smile that makes Elena even more nervous.

.....

“How can I call you that, sir... I don’t have the courage to...”

“We’re already dating, Elena. Shouldn’t you be speaking in such formal language to me, hm?”

“D..a date? Since when?”

Christian takes a deep breath. “I don’t need to remind you again by giving you a kiss like before, right?”

Suddenly Elena immediately covered her mouth with both hands while shaking her head frantically, seeing that Christian laughed in amusement.

“Ok ok ... I won’t kiss you again, now you better get ready. I don’t want us to be late,” Christian says quietly.

Elena, who has no other choice, finally chooses to obey, following Christian’s wishes. With her head slightly bowed, Elena walks behind Christian towards the elevator. Actually Elena was used to being in the same elevator as Christian, but this time it felt very different for Elena. Elena felt awkward and uncomfortable.

“Master...”

“We have business outside, Kainer. You can finish the work in the office today by yourself, right?” Christian immediately interrupted Kainer’s words who had just greeted him in shock at the elevator.

Kainer nodded quickly, it was obvious that he was so surprised.

“Good, Elena and I have to go now. Come on Elena, we can’t be late,” Christian says calmly and confidently.

“Ok sir.”

Kainer quickly got out of the way of the elevator to give way to Christian and Elena who walked briskly towards one of Christian’s cars parked in the basement, not long after Elena finished fastening her seat belt, the white sports car sped swiftly towards the streets of Luxembourg leaving Clarke Enterprise. .

Along the way, Elena didn’t say much. Elena still can’t believe that she will still be with Christian until tomorrow, Christian really doesn’t give Elena a chance to breathe calmly after what he did to her earlier.

Christian, who was not aware of Elena’s inner struggle, continued to drive his car to the center of the city, after entering the complex of luxury goods shops that were lined up neatly along a less crowded street, Christian slowed down his car. Christian just really stopped the car when he arrived in front of a clothing store that comes from one of the most top clothing brands from France.

“Why are we stopping at a place like this, sir?”

“Elena.”

“Oh Chris... Christian I mean. Why are we stopping at a place like this, Christ?”

Christian smiles. “Of course to prepare for our event tonight.”

“Tonight’s event, what’s going on?” Elena asked, confused. “Don’t you have any events?”

Christian smiles a little, hearing Elena still speaking in a very normal manner. Christian knows it’s not easy for Elena to adjust, so he chooses not to push her too hard.

“Come on out, there’s someone you need to meet,” Christian says quietly.

“Someone, are we having a meeting at a place like this, sir? But I haven’t prepared anything for...”

Christian chuckles. “Who wants to meet, Elena? I just said I wanted to ask you to meet someone.”

“So we won’t have a meeting?” Elena made sure again.

“We’d better get out so we can meet the person who’s waiting for us,” Christian replies quickly, as fast as he can unbuckle his seatbelt and get out of the car.

Since Christian is out of the car, Elena rushes after him. Christian immediately reached out his hand to Elena as soon as she got out of the car, Elena who had no other choice then accepted with Christian and followed him to a women’s salon which was next to a bag shop which cost the equivalent of an Elena’s dream car.

The owner of the women’s salon immediately smiled broadly when he saw Christian coming, the androgynous man greeted Christian warmly. Before Mouren married her boyfriend, Christian often took her to the salon because the salon owner knew Christian.

“What do you want to do with this beautiful lady, Mr Clarke?”

Christian smiles a little. “You know best what to do Jacky, so don’t ask me. I don’t understand.”

The owner of the salon, Jacky, immediately laughed out loud at Christian’s stiff answer, because he didn’t want to make Christian more angry and asked his men to immediately deal with Elena. Immediately after that the two salon workers led Elena to be invited to wash her hair first.

Because Christian had previously contacted Jacky, the condition of today’s salon has been sterilized from other visitors, so Christian and Elena are the only visitors at Jacky’s salon. Just like when Christian took Mouren first, Jacky always made his salon empty first so that Christian felt comfortable.

After Elena’s hair was washed, Jacky took over. The man skillfully trimmed Elena’s hair which was already long and out of style, Jacky who was already so experienced had no trouble at all changing Elena’s hairstyle. In a short time, Elena already looks more fresh and beautiful with her new hairstyle. The waist-length hair is now gone, replaced with a shaggy hairstyle with a see-thru bang that makes Elena look so sweet and cute.

“How, is there something missing?” Jacky asks Christian softly as he turns the chair Elena is still sitting on towards Christian.

Christian smiles a little at the change in Elena’s new hairstyle, he looks satisfied to see Jacky’s work.

“Take your payment, as usual,” Christian replies quietly as he hands his credit card to Jacky.

Jackie smiled widely. “Can I enter the bill as usual?”

“Don’t ask again, you haven’t only known me for a month or two,” Christian replies quietly without taking his eyes off Elena who looks already embarrassed because Christian keeps staring at her without blinking.

Jacky immediately grabbed Christian’s unlimited credit card and took it straight to the cashier’s desk to make payment. After making the payment, Jacky then immediately returned the credit card in his hand to the owner, smiling broadly showing a row of white and clean teeth.

Christian takes his credit card back without asking how much Jacky took. Feeling that his business is finished, Christian then invites Elena to go to the next place he wants to visit. Elena, who didn’t dare to ask, could only surrender when Christian asked her to choose a party dress at a boutique not far from the salon she previously visited.

“Beautiful, you look perfect in this black dress,” Christian said, praising Elena who had just come out of the dressing room.

Elena’s cheeks reddened. “Where are we actually going? Why are you doing all this to me, Sir?”

Christian immediately folded his arms across his chest with a disapproving expression. “Repeat, repeat what you said.”

Realizing her mistake, Elena immediately lowered her head deeply. It was still very difficult for him to speak without formal language to Christian.

“Elena,” Christian says in a half-whisper as he stands in front of Elena. “Didn’t we agree before, you also agreed not to have this relationship with me?”

“I..I don’t know...”

“Elena.” Christian instantly lifts Elena’s face up. “I want to start all this with you, so cooperate well. Don’t make me keep repeating the same sentence, I want to make you feel equal to me so don’t use formal language like that in front of me again.”

“But what about other staff...”

“Ok, you can speak formally to me in the office when you’re with other staff. But when you’re alone with me you have to get rid of all that rigidity, how about that? You agree, right?”

Elena nodded slowly.

“Goodgirl, ok now you take off your clothes and change. Let the maid prepare these clothes for you,” Christian says softly.

“We’re not going shopping again are we?” asks Elena quickly, she still can’t control her emotions when she sees Christian buying tons of shoes, tad and some expensive accessories that she’s never seen before.

Christian chuckles. “Elena, listen, even if you spend all the things in this entire row of shops, my wealth will not decrease. So don’t worry, I still have a lot of money. Even King Henry’s wealth is still nothing compared to mine.”

“Chris, stop talking nonsense!”

Christian laughed out loud at Elena’s slightly rude words, but in his heart he was grateful that Elena had dared to call his name directly without fear.

“Don’t believe it? Want proof?”

Elena immediately held Christian’s hand who was about to leave. “I believe, I believe. Please don’t waste any more money, I might pass out looking at it.”

“Faint?” Christian immediately raises his eyebrows.

Elena waved her hand in the air. “No, let’s not talk about it anymore. You better sit down, wait for me to change and don’t do crazy things again by buying ridiculously expensive things!”

“Just watch out if you step out of that door without my permission, I’ll be mad at you!” added Elena curtly giving Christian a stern warning.

Christian smiles. “Yeah, I won’t leave without your permission, Elena.”

Even though Christian had promised not to leave but Elena didn’t just believe it, she still stood staring at Christian silently until finally a shopkeeper asked her to go back into the changing room to change clothes.

Even though she was in the dressing room, Elena’s thoughts were still on Christian who was outside. Elena worries that Christian will act on his own as before. When she’s done changing, Elena rushes out and looks relieved to see Christian sitting quietly on the couch staring at her. His aura really crushed Elena.

“Finish?” he asked softly.

“Yes.”

“Ok, sit beside me then. Let the shopkeeper prepare the dress, I will...”

“What will? No, I don’t want to be left out. I want to come with you!” Elena cuts Christian off in a panic, she doesn’t want to be missed again like before when Christian gave her some things she really didn’t need.

Christian pursed his lips, without changing his piercing gaze, Christian then extended his hand to Elena. “Come on...”

To continue.
