Chapter 22 - 22 Loun Is Close To Eli

Yorris can be good, evil, and confusing at the same time. His behavior is always changing like a person with multiple personalities and binges.

"Okay."

Enough talk as soon as and Eli immediately carries out the orders of the king of Yorris.

Just when Cindy arrived she immediately looked at Eli like she was skinning her alive. Don't ask Eli's response, of course, she lifted her chin high with confidence. Eli is uncomfortable, but after using make-up covered it up with confidence as tall as the Eiffel Tower.

"I believe makeup can change a person. Too bad you cheated. That's not the real you."

Eli smiled resolutely. "The power of makeup. Now let's discuss work," said Eli politely.

Eli who usually only wears makeshift makeup looks beautiful the first time dresses up. Snub nose and ugly face so covered. Makeup helps a lot.

"You know why Loun let me act like at will?" Cindy spoke while her eyes looked dreamy.

Discuss completed work. It's still not time to rest but at least it's more relaxed. Cindy used that precious time to enjoy her own time. In her hand was a mini fan while Eli wrote the result of some of their observation. Previously Stephan was not far away, they were close together. The need to pee is the reason Stephan leaves leaving Elisabeth who is fed up with Cindy.

"No."

Cindy flashed a smile that Eli didn't see. Since earlier Eli has been busy trying to take extra care of her duties as a secretary.

It's up to Eli to respond or not. Cindy keeps talking.

"Let me tell you. Loun and I didn't love each other. We got married to make the company's stock value go up."

Eli turned. Her face seemed to say, 'So you think I should know?'

"Hahaha. I didn't pour my heart out to you. This is information because I know you and Yorris don't love each other either. Your relationship is fake."

"Eum... I don't know what relationship between you and Mr. Loun impacts on us."

"That means you might be able to marry Loun for real. Don't expect anything from Yorris. Well..." Cindy sees Eli full of judgment. "that can happen if you manage to charm him."

Some funny things make someone laugh, one of which happened at that time.

It was Eli's turn to chuckle. If Cindy was making fun of Eli then she must have a really bad sense of humor. That woman is almost always serious. Eli assumes that Cindy's life must be monotonous and boring.

"Okay, thanks. Now let's get back to work."

Eli is tired.

Cindy took a graceful breath, a hand rising to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. For Eli, the elegant aura displayed was too much.

Back in the office Eli inhaled and exhaled at will. Almost all day holding in negative emotions was exhausting. Eli didn't have time to get fresh air, the only solution was to regulate her breathing.

On the way, Eli collided with someone, to which Eli immediately responded by apologizing to whoever the poor fellow was.

"I'm sorry. Please we make peace here."

"I'm not will be suing you just for being run over, El."

Eli looked up to make sure her hearing wasn't wrong. Then, sure enough, the unfortunate person to collide with her was Loun.

Let Eli count how many 'strange coincidences' have happened to her. Too much.

"Uh, why are you here?"

Loun chuckled happily then showed a face pretending to think, "I used to often visit Jordan Corp. I consider Yorris like a brother. We are not very close but I can visit his office anytime and vice versa. I invaded one of Jordan's rooms Corp became a comfortable place to work while I specially prepared space for him in my office."

Eli's forehead creased. Examining Loun's attitude many negative thoughts appeared in Eli's brain. The most extreme idea is Loun gay. Just imagining it was terrifying. Eli shook her head to get rid of the crazy ideas in her brain.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah." To be honest, Eli was still in shock.

"Uh, what are you holding?"

"Hmm...?"

Eli's brain is still loading. Following the direction of Loun's gaze then Eli understood.

"Oh, this is someone's necklace that accidentally fell while we were working in the field. I plan will hand it over to the police station so that the person who lost this necklace can find it."

"Wait a minute, can I hold the necklace?"

Eli contemplated whether to let Loun see the necklace or not. "Okay"

"This logo, I don't know what happened, but this necklace belongs to the Xier family."

"You mean your family?"

Eli was shocked, meaning the person who dropped the necklace was probably part of the Xier family or could be a thief!

It's up to whoever that person is but Eli feels lucky she is the one who found the necklace. Eli was also grateful for coincidentally meeting Loun so that the necklace goes right back to the right person.

"You're still new to being Jordan Corp's secretary, naturally you don't know that this necklace pendant is the same as my company logo."

"I'm sorry Mr. Our next meeting I will be more careful."

"Ha ha ha." Loun smiled kindly. "No need to be shy or formal with me El. It's enough when you have employees you act formal."

"But..."

Loun shook his head firmly. "No, this is an order from a Jordan Corp client."

Again stuck to having to follow someone's words. Let it be, Eli nodded as they finish quickly. Often obeying Yorris' orders, Eli so found it very easy to obey other people's orders. Both Yorris and Loun exuded the same air of dominance. Maybe because both of them are CEOs.

"Thank you for finding this necklace, may I know what are the characteristics of the person who dropped the necklace?"

Usually no matter how difficult the question, Eli would answer it straightforwardly even if he wasn't sure or was wrong. So, as usual, Eli spoke plainly.

There's no time to hesitate.
