Love Worth Fighting For

Chapter 23: Long flight

Luxembourg Airport, 7.50 AM.

Elena massages her aching forehead, it’s been more than thirty minutes she’s been calling Christian and none of her calls have been received by that arrogant man. Even Kainer’s cell phone number could not be reached by Elena. Being at the airport with Christian’s bodyguards stresses Elena.

“Oh my God...what kind of ordeal is this? Why isn’t that annoying person picking up my phone, he’s not playing a prank on me right?”

“Mr. Clarke is not that kind of person, Miss Wilson.” Surprisingly one of Christian’s bodyguards responds to Elena’s words after Elena has been babbling for almost the last forty minutes.

Elena immediately turned to the bodyguard who had just spoken with a cynical look. “Oh so you’re not mute,” said Elena sarcastically.

The oriental-looking bodyguard thinned his lips. “I only speak when necessary, Miss. Those are the main rules.”

“Tch, forget that rule! Now tell me, where is your arrogant and haughty boss? Aren’t we supposed to fly soon? He’s not playing a prank on me is he?” 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶

.....

The bodyguard lowered his face to look at the clock on his left hand. “There’s still eight minutes before the plane actually has to take off, miss.”

“Jesus.” Elena directly touched her left chest firmly. Fix, it’s not just Christian Clarke who’s insane. All of his bodyguards were just as insane as that annoying blue-eyed man.

When Elena was being struck by an extraordinary panic from a distance, a black metallic McLaren 600LT car sped up at high speed and stopped right in front of Elena’s feet, who was standing not far from the Embraer Legacy 450 jet which had black and silver colors, Christian’s trademark. who only likes those two colors.

“Sir.”

“We don’t have much time, the plane has to take off in less than three minutes so let’s get on the plane quickly,” Christian said calmly as he just got out of his car, speaking to the bodyguards who had been faithfully waiting for him for more than an hour at the airport. .

“Yes sir.”

Christian nods slowly, guiltily the man continues walking towards the flight steps past Elena who is still frozen. But when he reached the top of the stairs Christian suddenly stopped his steps, he slowly turned his body to stare intently at Elena who still didn’t budge.

“Elena Wilson, how long are you going to keep admiring my car like that, huh?”

The harsh words that just left Christian’s lips managed to make Elena wake up from her shock, she slowly turned her face towards Christian.

“If I arrive late in London then you must be held accountable Elena!”

“Huh?”

“If you don’t want your parents to live on the street because I confiscated their house as compensation for what happened then...”

Christian stops his words when he sees Elena who runs off as she utters the words ‘seize the house’. Elena seems to think that Christian will really do what he wants if she disobeys Christian’s orders.

Oh come on, Elena, a Christian Clarke, would not possibly want to confiscate the house as well as the cake shop owned by your parents, it really suits Christian’s taste.

A panicked Elena immediately sat on Christian’s chair, too nervous and afraid to make Elena careless. Christian’s words earlier made her heart beat really fast, almost exploding from within.

“Sir...”

Christian raises his hand up. “It’s ok, I’ll sit in the other chair.”

Kainer nodded slowly, Christian himself making his way to the chair directly in front of Elena. Without taking off his sunglasses, Christian leans back against the back of the chair trying to find the best position. For several minutes Elena is not aware of Christian’s presence until finally a flight attendant comes to Elena, reminding her to fasten her seat belt.

“W-why are you sitting across from me, sir?” Elena stammers at Christian with both hands gripping the edge of the seat because the plane is already taking off.

Christian slowly removes the sunglasses that have been attached to his high nose and places them carefully on the table, a glimpse of the brand of glasses Christian has just put on makes Elena gulp. The price of the small glasses was equivalent to the salary of the two employees at his parents’ cake shop for one year! Crazy.

“Because you’re sitting in my chair,” Christian replies calmly.

“Huh?”

“That chair you’re sitting in is mine,” Christian repeats again. “So I had to sit somewhere else.”

Elena’s face turned red with embarrassment, regretting her earlier words.

“You better eat first, I don’t want to starve my secretary to death.”

“Sir,” Elena growled in restraint. “Our flight only takes an hour and twenty minutes to London and I’m not that weak to die of starvation so you don’t have to...

Kruukkk..

Elena’s face red as her stomach loudly, quite unexpectedly. loud enough that Kainer and several other bodyguards sitting in the back seat could hear.

Damn..damn! Elena cursed in her heart, cursing her body that had betrayed her.

Christian just shook his head slowly without changing his expression when he heard Elena’s stomach sound, he slowly snapped his fingers calling out a flight attendant who was standing not far from him.

“Can I help Mr. Clarke?”

“Bring food to my secretary.”

the stewardess named Nikky nodded quietly. “Anything else, sir?”

“No ahh ... wine, I need some wine,” Christian answered quietly.

“Okay, I’ll get everything ready soon.” After saying that Nikky immediately went back to the clean kitchen to clean the kitchen. prepare food for Elena and Christian’s favorite wine. As a regular flight attendant employed under the auspices of Clarke Enterprise, Nikky knows Christian’s favorite drink very well, so in a short time Nikky is back where Christian and Elena are sitting.

Nikky very professionally put the expensive food and drinks on the table flawlessly, after finishing her task Nikky immediately returned to the clean kitchen to prepare drinks for Kainer and the others as usual. After serving Christian then Nikky serves others.

“Eat Elena, I really don’t want to hear that ugly belly sound of yours.” Christian wiggles his glass trying to get the aroma out of his favorite wine.

Because there was no other choice, Elena finally enjoyed her food, had not eaten since morning making Elena really hungry, especially last night she didn’t have time to eat dinner and all of that happened because of Christian’s actions, who kept giving her work non-stop.

“I hope you’ve brought enough clothes, Elena. After I finish the meeting we head straight to Adelaide.”

Elena immediately stopped chewing, quickly lifting her head to look straight at Christian.

“We will only have a two hour meeting in London, after that we fly back to Australia that’s why I brought you Elena. I need my secretary to handle some big jobs in Australia, understand?”
