Eli was not angry. Instead of being annoyed, she chuckled and scratched the back of her head. Smiling with a blushing face like an embarrassed person.
"You're blushing at my derision, an abnormal woman," Cindy muttered. She shook her head with a sinister smile. She never imagined that the woman who won Yorris' heart would be silly.
"Ahem." Eli suddenly straightened up, the alert posture of a man undergoing military training.
"Miss Cindy, please come to the meeting room. The program will start soon."
Eli's demeanor changed 180° into polite employee mode. Be as professional as possible in front of investors who may invest in Jordan Corp and cooperation projects between companies.
"Okay."
Meanwhile, Stephan and Cindy secretly looked at each other and smirked.

"Phew. The first day has been tiring like this, I don't know if the future will be good or not."
"Fighting Oneechan, prove your competence in a new project. I'm rooting for you. By the way, what are you writing?"
"Don't look, you focus on driving. One thing you should know, is I'm an online novel writer."
"A mature novelist?"
Eli's eyes widened as if they were about to pop out of their places. As if he had experienced enough obstacles at the office that time, she was surprised to get an explicit question. Eli and her bodyguard were on their way home. Aside from being a bodyguard whose function is to protect, Jean also doubles as a driver so that it's easy for Eli when he wants to travel.
"Eh, are you a reader of adult novels?"
"Rather than adult novels, I prefer to reading hentai comics," said Jean innocently. After Eli noticed her bodyguard Jean was a jovial type. He began to show his joy after Eli invited him to visit her house.
"My God, you are not innocent. Then, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Not yet. I don't like being restrained. I don't think there should be a rush to get a girlfriend."
"Good." Eli nodded in agreement. "Don't do something if you don't like it. If you think you want to have a girlfriend, approach my little sister. She's not the possessive and controlling type of woman. You just have to get used to her nonchalant attitude. You said don't like being restrained so I think they are suitable," said Eli enthusiastically. She believes Jean is a good and generous man so very good to be part of the family.
"Are you sure you want me to approach your little sister?"
"If you are an asshole you will suffer the consequences. My little sister is a martial artist," snorted Eli while moaning. A grin appeared at the corner of the lips.
"She's not my type."
Eli's mouth forms an 'o'. It's okay Eli won't force it, especially when she was busy writing. Eli was thinking of something else. It's a little hard to focus when you have a lot on your mind.
This is what Elisabeth thought.
"Impossible. Loun wasn't angry Miss Cindy was close to Yorris. He let at the closeness of the two of them. Now I'm the jealous one. What was the man thinking about letting his future wife seek the attention of another man?"
Eli still imagines the interaction between Yorris and Cindy. Since Yorris asked permission to meet his ex-girlfriend, Eli never asked what happened between the two of them. Being in such a state makes Eli feels like being played with.
Not only by Yorris but by three people at once!
Yorris, Cindy, and Loun seem to work together. Playing with feelings is as easy as playing hide and seek in a complicated maze, so you risk getting lost and never coming back.
Don't know who got lost first. The countdown of time determines who becomes the seeker of hiding places. Both the person looking for a hiding place and the person hiding are at the worst risk.
"Could it be that they don't know love? Close men and women are also normal. No affection, no love."

"Eli come here."
Yorris's hand was waving. Damn from Eli's point of view, her husband was very annoying. Yorris is bossy, looks down on others, and is impudent.
"What?"
Yorris scanned Eli from head to toe, his brows knit together then immediately frowned. Eli was confused by his change in mood.
Hey, Eli is annoyed but she is still holding herself back from showing her feelings.
"There is something wrong?"
"Yeah. Now I think you're no use to me."
Eli muttered in her heart, 'What the hell.'
"Why suddenly?"
Just like Yorris, Eli also pouted too. Who isn't angry at being called useless?
Yorris was in a very bad mood and looked away not wanting to see Eli. For Yorris it wasn't good to see dirt because it was disgusting, then that dirt was Elisabeth.
"You have to be more aggressive, responsive, and agile to disturb Cindy's peace, that way I don't regret choosing you."
"Mr. Yorris Jordan." A black and scary aura emits from Eli's body. She was annoyed, Yorris's every little movement also looked disgusting in her eyes. "You think annoying a numb person like Cindy is as easy as turning the palm of your hand? Other women can't do it either. On the contrary, it's like she hates me."
Yorris seemed to be about to speak, but he quickly lost to the woman who had become his conditional contract wife.
"Wait a minute. She hates me and that means I succeeded. You should be grateful, we haven't been married long but I have disturbed her peace of mind enough."
"That's different, Elisabeth. I want something else. You have to prove you're beautiful, charming, and respectable. Only then will she be completely crushed? She will feel outmatched by you."
By God, Eli was tired and just sighed. Yorris who is good at arguing maintains perspective. It will continue if Eli does not give in.
Eli took a deep breath. "Okay, it's just a matter of perspective. I'll try to live up to your expectations. Only one thing is for sure Mr. Yorris, as long as Miss Cindy is upset regardless of the cause it means I'm pretty good to fulfill my job."
However, Eli does not accept!
