Chapter 99
“Relax Elena, I won’t be tempted by that kind of woman,” Christian says back softly. “The only woman I want right now is Elena Wilson, my stubborn and argumentative secretary.”
Although happy to hear Christian’s words, Elena still chooses not to take her eyes off the window. Elena still won’t look at Christian. After twenty minutes in the car, Christian and Elena finally arrive at one of the Clarke family-owned hotels that stands firmly near the offices of Muller Finance International.
“Young master...”
The words of the hotel manager who had just come to approach Christian were immediately stopped when Christian raised one hand in the air.
“I’ll take the special elevator straight away,” Christian says flatly.
“Yes, sir. I’ll take you to...”
“No need, I can go up by myself. Just give me the key.”
Without waiting for orders twice, the middle-aged manager immediately ran to the reception desk to retrieve the key to Christian’s special room which was never rented out to anyone. Not even Clarke’s own family members dared to sleep in the room that Christian had specially chosen to be his private room.
.....
Out of breath, the middle-aged man who has worked in the Clarke family’s hotel for more than fifteen years approached Christian with the key to the room, which was still so well guarded.
“Please, young master.”
Christian immediately took his room key from the hands of his hotel manager. “Thank you and please deliver snacks to the room immediately.”
“Okay young master, I will immediately do your request.”
Christian smiles, because he has nothing to do with his polite hotel manager anymore. Christian then invites Elena to walk to the elevator which can only be used by room guests at a fantastic price.
“Is this your family’s hotel?” asked Elena stupidly.
Christian smiles. “Belonging to my Daddy’s adoptive father to be precise, that’s why this hotel is still under the auspices of Muller Finance International.”
“But it belongs to the Clarke family, right?” asked Elena again.
“Yes dear, do I need to say the same sentence a second time? Aren’t you sure that this old hotel belongs to my family, hm?”
“Old hotel? What old hotel?” stammered Elena. “You call a hotel as luxurious as this an old hotel.”
Christian chuckles. “This hotel is five years older than my current age, doesn’t that mean it’s old?”
Elena immediately massaged her aching head, talking to Christian really made her blood boil. Luckily the elevator which can only accommodate four people stops on the destination floor, the ninth floor where there is the only room that is never used by anyone except Christian.
“Get some rest, I’ll pick you up tonight,” Christian says softly to Elena as they stop in front of his private room.
Elena gulped. “You really want to go back to your house?”
“Yeah, what do you expect? You want me to come rest with you in this room? Trust me Elena, when I’m alone with you I won’t be able to hold myself back like last night. You know how much I desire to have you?”
Elena immediately retreated backwards until her back finally touched the door, her face immediately changed drastically. Christian’s words frightened her. And Christian immediately laughed out loud when he saw Elena’s drastic change in attitude.
“That’s why I asked you to stay in this hotel,” Christian adds softly, touching Elena’s cheek, which is red as a tomato. “And remember one thing, even if you escape from my supervision don’t expect to be able to go as you please because in front of this room there will be four bodyguards on guard and don’t even think you can escape their supervision.”
“I’m not going anywhere,” Elena said quietly.
Christian purses his lips. “I know, now you better rest inside. In two hours someone will come to deliver clothes for you and you don’t have to let him in. All you do is accept clothes from him and go back into the room. Wait for me to come pick you up, you understand .”
Elena nodded slowly with her mouth tightly shut, trying to hold back all the curses that had reached her throat.
“Good girl,” Christian says softly, as soft as his movement that immediately gives a kiss to Elena’s hairless neck.
Elena immediately pulled her body back from Christian’s reach while screaming loudly.
“Why?” Christian asks guiltily.
“There’s a party tonight, you’re not trying to embarrass me in front of everyone, are you?” Elena said frantically with a hand that immediately felt around her neck, making sure there were no Christian bite marks left there.
Christian purses his lips. “I’m going, okay. Don’t be naughty because trust me I can see everything you did in this place.”
After giving Elena a kiss on the forehead, Christian then actually left in front of Elena and headed for the elevator with a bodyguard escorting him. Elena is still standing in front of the bedroom door when Christian disappears into the elevator. Fine, Elena’s current status is no different from house arrest.
“Please come in, Miss,” said one of the bodyguards Christian had left to guard Elena.
Elena moistened her lips with her tongue, trying to hold back the nervousness that gripped her. “Can’t I...”
“No, you are not allowed to leave this room. So please come in, Miss.”
Elena stomped her foot on the floor hearing the words of the black bodyguard, having no other choice, Elena decided to enter the room that was so awake. Elena almost screamed when she saw the situation in the room, the hotel room which had one king-size bed was really spacious with the finest wooden furniture and the newest electronic equipment. Once again Elena is rendered speechless by the luxury that Christian shows her.
Because her head suddenly hurt, Elena rushed to open a nearby window. When Elena saw the state of the city of Geneva from above, suddenly Elena froze, her chest felt tight. Her legs felt weak, Elena seemed to have a fear of heights syndrome. Even though a few minutes ago she had just gotten off the plane that took her from Paris.
“W..what’s wrong with me?” Elena said hoarsely with a hand that immediately grabbed her left chest.
