Chapter 67
67 Healing
Paris, France. 3.00 PM
After driving his car for three hours and fifty-six minutes Jason finally stopped the car when he arrived near the Eiffel Tower, his smile widening when he saw Elena was still sleeping.
Too tired from crying, Elena ended up falling asleep in the Jason family’s old car that took her away from Luxembourg. Five hours ago Jason saw her crying in her mother’s arms by accident, not talking much as usual, Jason then went up to Elena’s room and put all her personal equipment including ID card and passport in her bag and took her away to calm down. Mr and Mrs Wilson, who knew Jason very well, did not stop her from taking Elena, the husband and wife who were not young anymore knew that only Jason could calm Elena at this time.
“Elena...”
“Hmmm...”
“Wake up, we’re here,” Jason said again softly trying to wake Elena who was sleeping.
Elena, who wasn’t really sleeping then opened her eyes to look at Jason who was smiling at her.
“We have arrived.”
Elena looked around at the tower that was now towering in front of her. “Paris.”
.....
“Yeah, we’re in Paris,” Jason answered quietly. “We’re looking for a place to stay, okay?”
“I want to go for a walk, Jason.”
“Your leg still hurts, Elena. Can you walk alone?”
Elena immediately locked her lips, she forgot that her leg still hurt. Damn Christian, he not only made a wound in Elena’s heart but also a wound on her body.
“We’re looking for an inn, after that we eat and rest for a while. We’ll just go out tonight to see the beauty of this tower,” Jason said again, Jason didn’t want to mention what caused Elena to get hurt. He wanted to wait for Elena to speak first.
Elena took a deep breath. “Ok, let’s find an inn first.”
Jason nodded excitedly, he immediately stepped on the gas pedal to the inn that fit in his pocket. Even though he has already received a salary from his new job, Jason has not dared to invite Elena to stay at a five-star hotel, he is quite self-aware for that. That’s why he invited Elena to stay at one of the affordable lodgings for his wallet.
“For four days, two rooms, that’s six hundred dollars.”
“Six hundred dollars...”
“Here, four hundred dollars.” Elena immediately handed a hundred dollar bill to the receptionist in front of her, ahead of Jason who was about to take out his wallet.
“Elena!”
“It’s ok, I’ve got my salary, Jason. I can’t be treated all the time, can I?” replied Elena quickly. “So let me pay for our lodging this time.” Elena then hurriedly put the money on the receptionist’s desk.
Jason’s face turned red. “I’m a boy, Elena.”
Elena smiled, pulling her hand off the table. “Who said you were a woman?”
“Elena...”
“Please sign here,” said the hotel receptionist, interrupting Jason’s words, as he handed Elena proof of payment.
Elena immediately put her signature on the paper, not long after that the receptionist then handed Elena two keys, which Jason took roughly. Jason, who still couldn’t accept that Elena had paid for their lodging, rushed from the reception desk to the room on the first floor. Jason deliberately chose a room on the first floor because thinking about the wound on Elena’s leg, he didn’t want to make Elena go up and down the stairs.
“Your room is 103, mine is 107,” Jason said quietly, hand holding Elena’s room key with a still annoyed face.
Elena grabbed the key in Jason’s hand with a smile. “Still angry?”
Jason immediately looked away. “Who is angry?”
“I know you very well, Jason.”
“Don’t act like you know, hurry up and go to your room after you rest. I’ll wake you up this afternoon,” Jason said quickly, as quickly as he entered the room while carrying a backpack containing his clean clothes.
Seeing Jason’s angry Elena smile, Elena knew that her best friend had sky-high self-esteem. Jason is a very principled man, so it’s no wonder that his career in the fire department has accelerated. Having been a victim of a fire as a child made Jason aspire to be a firefighter, he wants to save other people as his first savior did to him.
Elena snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the sound of a backpack slamming onto the floor. The sound of Jason’s backpack to be more precise, shaking her head Elena entered her comfortable enough room. Although not a star hotel, the inn that Jason chose was very comfortable and Elena liked it.
“Finally I’m in Paris,” Elena muttered hoarsely, her chest still tight despite crying for over an hour. The harsh treatment she received from Christian really made an impression on her chest.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
After taking off her shoes, Elena immediately lay down on the bed. Her teary eyes looked up at the ceiling of the room where she would spend the night in the next few days. When almost falling asleep, Elena suddenly remembered that she had not turned off her cell phone. Even though Christian and Kainer’s cell phone numbers have been blocked, Elena doesn’t want to take the risk. Elena knew her parents would definitely find out about her from Jason, so she decided not to activate her cell phone.
“Everything will be fine, Elena. Cheer up...”

Clarke Enterprise, Luxembourg. 5.30 PM
Christian thought that with him firing Elena everything would be fine, but he was wrong. His mood did not improve. Especially when he found out that all the proposals that Elena had previously worked on were neatly arranged on his desk, Elena worked so neatly without a single mistake.
“Shit...” Christian growls in annoyance.
Kainer who was standing next to Christian held back his smile, he didn’t want to make Christian’s mood worse.
“What’s my schedule for tomorrow morning?” Christian asks hoarsely, trying to neutralize the anger that is filling his chest.
“Weekly meeting with all managers, sir. After that you have an appointment with the diamond supplier and...”
“Clear everything.”
“Eh?”
“I want you to clear everything, tomorrow I want to relax at home. This week has really drained my energy.”
Kainer nodded obediently. “Yes sir, I will clear your schedule.”
Christian doesn’t respond to Kainer’s words, his attention still on the pile of files in front of him. His gaze is still stolen at the multicolored note that Elena tucked between the files as a marker, the number writing on the note makes Christian’s feelings even more confused. It wasn’t guilt that was bothering him right now, there was another feeling he had never felt before. And that foreign feeling now made him lose his enthusiasm for work.
“Fuck!!”
Bruk...
The pile of files that had been neatly arranged were now scattered on the floor, the papers that Elena had previously arranged so neatly according to the date of entry were now mixed up on the floor. Realizing the mistake he made to the secretary who had worked according to the procedure made Christian feel so sorry for having indulged his lust, after venting his anger on Elena’s work, Christian immediately went to the exit after previously snatching his car keys from the top of the car.
Kainer, who was talking to the diamond supplier that had been connected to her cellphone, couldn’t help but be silent when she saw Christian running towards the elevator.
In the elevator Christian looks at the clock on his left hand over and over again, he is calculating the time it will take for the elevator to descend at this time. Really Christ?
“Shit, looks like I’ll have to order Kainer to change this elevator vendor. They’re not good at work,” Christian growls emotionally.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, Christian immediately walked quickly to his car which was in a special parking lot. Several guards immediately ran over to Christian who was about to get into his car.
“Sir..”
“No, I want to drive my own car. I don’t need a driver,” Christian refuses quickly, as fast as he gets into the car.
The guards immediately moved away from the black sports car as soon as Christian finished fastening his seat belt, they knew how fast Christian was driving his own car that’s why they chose to save themselves by giving Christian way to leave.
Just as Christian exits the basement, Kainer emerges from the elevator gasping for air. “Young master is gone?” he asked breathlessly.
“It has been just a moment.”
“Damn it.”
“Did something bad happen? The young master’s face looked so unfriendly,” said one of Christian’s bodyguards quietly.
Kainer nodded slowly. “Not only bad, but very, very bad.”
“What bad?”
“You’ll find out within the next two days,” Kainer replied in a low, meaningful voice.
Kainer’s words made the four men who wore big C pins on their collars instantly shut up, none of them dared to ask anymore. They could already imagine how terrible Christian would be when he was angry.
Because it is impossible to catch up with an angry Christian, Kainer finally decides to go home knowing that Christian is currently unaccompanied. And what Kainer thought was right, right now Christian was at his highest emotional state. Luckily the streets were deserted, because otherwise there might have been a lot of cars that would have been damaged because of Christian’s madness.
When the car is on the way home, Christian suddenly swerves to the left, into another lane for a turn. Christian must resolve his inner turmoil today as well. Christian, who usually never regrets anything, is now confused about composing an apology sentence.
