Chapter 316
316 Big meeting
Although still annoyed with Christian, Zwetta still accompanied the man to the office. An important meeting that must be attended by Christian in person makes her unable to refuse the boss’s invitation to accompany him to the office.
“I’m going straight to the meeting room, you can go to my own room, right?”
Zwetta nodded slowly. “I’m not a child who needs constant guidance, you don’t have to worry.”
A paper-thin smile appears on Christian’s lips, hearing Zwetta speak again curtly makes him happy. Even though he’s in a bit of a mess, Christian is feeling much better than an hour ago. The slap given by Zwetta managed to make him wake up from the pseudo world he had created himself.
The tinkling of the elevator made Zwetta and Christian straighten up, both of them preparing to leave because they had arrived at the destination floor, the highest floor in the Clarke Enterprise building where Christian was.
As he said a while ago, Christian then separated himself from Zwetta when they arrived in front of a flower vase near Christian’s study. Christian, who wanted to immediately join the top brass of his company, left Zwetta without another word, the importance of the meeting this afternoon made Christian want to arrive at the meeting room immediately.
Zwetta deep breath when she saw Christian continue to walk towards a large room that became a meeting room at the end of the hall, because she didn’t know anyone other than Christian who was very complicated. Zwetta decided to go to the pantry alone to get coffee that the office girl always provided for her Christian orders. Not taking off her mask, Zwetta grabbed a coffee cup from the refrigerator.
Even though they already knew that Zwetta was the CEO’s special staff, some of the female staff on the floor dared to talk about it openly. Especially at a time like this, when Zwetta was alone without Christian near her. Actually Christian already knows that Zwetta has been the subject of gossip from his employees, but he remains silent and does nothing, Zwetta’s not to deal with trivial matters like that makes Christian let the unbalanced bullying happen.
“The girl in the mask again,” Sienna said quietly, starting their midday gossip. “I’m really very uncomfortable.”
.....
“You’re right, Sienna. We feel like we are being watched by a terrible hitman right now with this masked girl,” said Aurora, one of the people who had been tipped to be Christian’s secretary after Christian returned a few weeks ago.
Sienna chuckled at her cousin’s words. “That’s why it’s better for us to also wear masks, so that we can both hide our beautiful faces so that they are separated from the hitman’s target.”
Several other female staff chuckled at the same time hearing Sienna’s words, the women were annoyed at Zwetta who always clung to Christian. They didn’t like strangers clinging like leeches to their extraordinary boss.
Zwetta who usually wasn’t bothered by the girls’ words today looked so irritated, the chaos that had occurred since she opened her eyes still made her not in a good mood right now. Still carrying the coffee cup in her hand, Zwetta walked towards the place where Sienna and her friends were.
“You know, in the battlefield people who talk a lot like you usually will be directly fed to the enemy because they are considered a burden,” Zwetta quietly, her hazel eyes looking at Sienna and her friends alternately. “And believe me, if you continue like this then be prepared with the worst that will accept you. Because believe me, everyone has their own unlucky day.”
After saying that Zwetta then continued on her way back to Christian’s room, leaving Sienna and her friends with a triumphant glow. Even though the female staff didn’t respond, Zwetta was sure that they were really scared right now.
And Zwetta right, because one by one the female staff left Sienna and Aurora who were standing side by side towards their respective desks.’s simple sentence Zwetta struck them mentally strongly, after realizing that she was abandoned by her gossiping friends, Sienna then gave a code to Aurora to return to work. Sienna didn’t know that the woman who always followed Christian was not the same as Elena, the secretary who was so gentle.
“I’ll watch over you, woman,” Sienna hissed, annoyed, because all this time Christian had not told Zwetta’s as a result no one in the office knew Zwetta including Sienna who always hated and was hostile to any woman who was near Christian.
Zwetta pushed the door to Christian using her free hand from the coffee cup, just stepped into the room that was so spacious Zwetta was already surprised by the presence of three unknown people in the room. Zwetta , who didn’t know the three people, seemed hesitant to continue her steps. She was considering whether to continue her steps or not. Zwetta felt uncomfortable being stared at so intently by the three strangers.
“So you’re Christian’s new bodyguard named Zwetta ?” Jack decided to speak after he saw Zwetta about to leave the room.
Zwetta, who knew that Christian had not told everyone her name, looked so shocked when she heard the words of a middle-aged man who was sitting on the sofa where she usually sat when Christian was working.
“Who are you? Are you one of the people who wants to meet Christian?”asked Zwetta politely.
“We are Christian and Suri’s parents, the two people you saved, Zwetta.” Anne, who had been silent since Zwetta , finally decided to join in on the conversation.
Zwetta frowned, she looked so surprised to hear the words of the graceful woman who had just spoken. “You’re both Christian’s parents and that troublesome spoiled princess?”
It wasn’t just Erick who was surprised, Jack and Anne also looked so shocked when they heard Zwetta call Suri a ‘troublesome spoiled princess’.
“That’s right,” Erick answered quickly. “They are both the parents of Mr Christian and Miss Suri.”
Zwetta , who had been focusing on Jack and Anne, then turned to Erick. “Who are you?”
“I’m Mr. Jack’s personal assistant, my name is Erick,” replied Erick so politely, seeing Zwetta who didn’t recognize Jack and Anne made Erick now believe what Ronin said last night, if the girl named Zwetta was not Elena Wilson. “You’d better sit down first, Miss. It would be more comfortable if we sat down to talk.”
Zwetta again turned her gaze to Jack and Anne who continued to stare at her without blinking, having no reason to refuse and leaving Zwetta decided to sit down. But just about to take a step, Zwetta is surprised by the sudden appearance of Christian who entered the room. Christian, who did not know the whereabouts of his parents, immediately grabbed Zwetta without asking permission first.
“Why? Do you mind if I...”
“Christ,” called Anne quietly.
Christian’s head immediately turned towards the source of the sound quickly without being prevented, his eyes immediately opened wide when he saw the whereabouts of his parents.
“Can we talk for a minute?” Anne resumed her speech with teary eyes, remembering Ronin’s explanation last night made her unable to contain her emotion.
“Just ten minutes, please.”
