Wedding Agreement With CEO - Chapter 175
“Why are you looking at me like that, Sir?” asked Ellena, looking at Richard in surprise.
“Oh.” Richard gasped, suddenly lost in his thoughts.
I don’t know why lately Ellena has always been the object of his imagination. Whatever he thinks, will definitely lead to the figure he is currently admiring.
Richard smiled as he lifted his back from the back of the sofa. Lower the left leg that crosses over the right leg. He then straightened up in a sitting position, with his gaze focused on Ellena.
“Why, Patricia? Is there a problem?” asked Richard pretending not to understand what his secretary meant.
“May I be honest, Sir?” Ellena asked reassuringly, before she revealed all her complaints to Richard.
“Yes, of course. Tell the truth, Sweet Lady,” Richard replied with an eye, deliberately trying to tease Ellena.
Ellena looked away, embarrassed. Ah, what kind of work is this? Should she accept that kind of harassment every time with the boss. The expression with Richard’s sensual style shown in front of her, actually made her amused for a moment.
“Could you be more polite to your subordinates, Sir?” Ellena chirps deliberately to make fun of Richard.
“You don’t think that’s impolite, Miss?” asked Richard who seemed not to realize that his behavior was indeed rude, even though he knew very well how to be ethical in front of women. However, he didn’t seem to want to care about that when he was with Ellena.
“Yes, of course, Sir. How can you think that is so polite, when you yourself have dared to tease me.” Ellena sneered again, glancing scornfully at Richard’s face. There wasn’t even the fearful expression she had displayed in front of Richard anymore.
Instead of responding right away, Richard leaned forward. Folded his hands on the table.
“Which is more impolite, when compared to the attitude of a subordinate who dares to refuse a declaration of love from her superior?” He asked which managed to make Ellena jump in surprise. Can’t believe their discussion is going that far. Ah, why is Richard talking about that again?
Within seconds Ellena’s expression turned sour. How could Richard discuss personal matters while they were still at work.
“Please never bring personal matters into work, Master!” snapped Ellena as she glared at Richard in annoyance. “You as a superior should know more about it than me, Sir.” She added with a curt tone and a curmudgeon expression.
Irritating. Instead of realizing his mistake, Richard just chuckled as if he underestimated Ellena and felt no guilt at all.
“What you said was true, Patricia, but did you know? It didn’t apply to me at all. Oops, sorry, I meant not to us.” Richard said with a triumphant grin.
It seemed that Ellena had forgotten about Richard’s figure of power and authority in the company. So, anything the man can do, including flirting and making her a lover.
Certainly not unusual. When Richard’s expression of love is rejected, of course he will be more aggressive in pursuing the woman he wants, no matter what. Just like he did with Ellana right now.
“What do you mean, Sir? We actually came here for a client meeting or on a date?” asked Ellena already feeling more and more annoyed.
Of course Ellena knew that today Richard would indeed have a meeting with an important client from the capital. However, why until this moment the client in question still hasn’t appeared. Ah, Richard has more and more opportunities to tease Ellena.
“Great idea!” cried Richard, snapping his fingers enthusiastically. “Our plan to come here is indeed for work, but if you really expect more than that, I’m happy to grant it, Miss.” He added, lifting the corners of his lips, forming a curved line on his face.
Ellena pursed her lips as she sneered at the face of her superior, who was grinning triumphantly.
“Okay, looks like I’m just wasting my time here,” said Ellena as she rose from her seat.
“Where are you going?” Richard immediately jumped when Ellena was about to leave the place. His eyes went wide, focusing on Ellena.
“I want to go. There’s no point in lingering here!” Ellena snapped, not serious. “Besides, it looks like your client won’t be coming either, Sir. I’d better go home.” She added, wanting to see Richard’s next response.
“Don’t play games! I won’t let you go before our meeting ends!” Richard insisted, still trying to hold Ellena to stay in that place, accompanying her until the meeting was over.
“I’m sure our client will come soon,” added Richard reassuring Ellena.
Unbeknownst to Richard, what made Ellena uncomfortable in that place was not because of the long wait for the client, but because of the attitude of her boss.
“I don’t care, Sir. You deal with your client yourself. Excuse me!” Ellena had barely stepped foot, but Richard swiftly took her hand as she was about to cross in front of the man.
“Oh come on, Patricia … I’m just kidding. Stay here with me to the meeting.” Richard pleaded, without intending to let go of Ellena’s hand.
“Let go, Sir!” Ellena stomped her hand firmly until it slipped from Richard’s grip, which was not so tight.
It suddenly made Richard stunned for a moment. Staring in surprise. Didn’t think that Ellena would be that angry because she didn’t really want to tease. However, he did not want to waste the opportunity to hang out with the woman he loves.
Oh shit. In fact, it ended up like this. It could mess up the meeting plans with her new client, if Ellena got really mad and left her alone there.
“Wait!”
Again Richard restrained Ellena as she was about to step back. Of course she didn’t want Ellena to just leave, especially when she was angry like that.
Richard was panicking. He couldn’t be treated like that by a woman he admired so much. Ah, he thought Ellena would be captivated by his temptations, but quite the opposite. What a different woman from the others. It really made him feel even more curious about the figure standing in front of him at this time.
“I’m sorry,” Richard softly relented, when he found Ellena’s face, which was frowning in annoyance, with slightly pursed lips.
“Let go, Sir. Do you really not want to give me permission?” Ellena asked, glancing at the hand Richard was holding, then her gaze shifted to the man’s face, which seemed to have an apologetic expression.
Inwardly, Ellena wanted to laugh. However, that was impossible for her to do in front of Richard. Ah, the punishment could be increased even more, if that happens.
Let Ellena enjoy the expression on Richard’s face secretly. After all, who told Richard to be such an obnoxious boss?
“No! I won’t let you get out of here!” said Richard, shaking his head slowly.
“Oh come on, Sir, allow me to—”
“No, Patricia! I told you I wouldn’t give you permission!” concluded Richard still chuckling.
“I just want to-”
“You dare take a step, I will not hesitate to marry you right now!” Richard threatened which suddenly made Ellena jump.
“Oh, it’s not that easy, Sir. You think marrying chicks?” replied Ellena still daring to fight the boss. Yes, bosses like Richard really can’t if they continue to be like that.
“That’s easy, Miss. Have you forgotten who I am? I can even own you completely if you want.” Richard whispered into Ellena’s ear, grinning happily.
“Hey!” Ellena reflexively stomped her hand again, until it slipped from Richard’s hand again.
Meanwhile, Richard just chuckled in response, as if something funny had appeared on Ellena’s face.
Ellena quickly changed her expression to a grin. “It’s really sad that there is a CEO who panics so much when a poor secretary like me will leave him, even though I just want to go to the toilet.” She said, which suddenly made Richard widen and scowled in annoyance.
“You?” Richard was stunned for a moment, before continuing his speech. “Oh, you’re getting naughty now. How dare you fool me like that, Patricia.” He added trying to balance Ellena’s attitude.
“Never mind, Sir. Don’t keep teasing me like that. I have to go to the toilet immediately, please don’t bother me anymore,” said Ellena wanting to end the argument with her boss.
“Wait!”
Instead of listening to Ellena’s words, Richard acted as if he didn’t care. This was evident from the way he was again holding back Ellena’s steps. Ah, I don’t know how long they’ve been in the debate. This happens because their client who came not on time, even until this moment the client has not appeared.
“What’s more, Sir. Don’t you feel sorry for me?” said Elena annoyed.
“I really feel sorry for you, Patricia. That’s why I want to make you an offer, maybe you want me to take you there?” Richard replied, once again he rolled his eyes.
“Don’t be crazy! Aren’t you afraid of being chased by the mob, for daring to enter the women’s restroom?” asked Elena annoyed.
“Hm … I would be happier when they caught us alone in the toilet,” replied Richard not wanting to lose.
Ellena just huffed in annoyance. “As you wish, Sir. Please let me go, before your clients arrive!” She insisted.
“Oh, okay, Dear. I forgive you this time, but remember! If you fool me like that again, I will not hesitate to eat you alive,” said Richard as he released the secretary’s hand from his grip.
Ellena didn’t respond to Richard’s words anymore. She immediately swung her legs slowly, but surely. Every step of the way would be the center of attention of the boss who was still staring at her from a distance.
Instantly a wide smile appeared on Richard’s face for a moment before Ellena disappeared behind the dividing wall.
“Good afternoon, Mr. Richard!”
The baritone voice was deafening. Richard, who was still standing facing Ellena, suddenly flinched and immediately turned towards the source of the sound. His eyes widened when he found a familiar figure standing 2 meters in front of him.
“Mr Adley?”
