Camouflage Love of the CEO
CHAPTER 41 Coffee Made by Elena

Merrik also seriously noticed the beautiful scenery in front of him, the face he used to easily touch, the lips that he could bite, now can only be seen by stealing a glance. Outside the room was someone who noticed Elena and Merrik's interaction from the translucent glass door. Merrik's workspace is dominant with half-glass walls, so that people from the outside can see into the room.

"I think I know who it is!" muttered Elena.

"You know the difference, don't you?" merrik.

Elena pointed at the monitor. "Yes. On this side there are no details that I added and the only ones who know the last design are me and Daniar because the plan will be given to you today!" elena was sure. "I'll bring the intruder to you." Elena added.

"Is there any evidence?" ask Merrik.

"Evidence?"

"Do not accuse before there is evidence. Let's find the evidence first, let's start with the CCTV."

"Good."

"Make me coffee."

"What?"

"I don't want to get sleepy while watching CCTV footage."

“Why should I?” Elena Protest.

“Because I am your boss.”

“I am a designer and not a barista.”

Merrik looked at Elena. “I just want to make coffee.”

"All right." Elena relented and went to the pantry to make Merrik's coffee. He could obey all Merrik's words. If it was then, he would be happy to do so. Elena started to take the cup with lips that were washed away due to the sepals. Before long, Merrik's secretary came to the pantry. “Nona Eleanor, what are you doing?” ask Lala.

“Oh, I asked Mr. Bastian to make coffee,” Elena replied.

“You often make coffee for him?” ask Lala.

“No.” Elena said honestly, while still living together, Merrik never asked to make coffee. Merrik only drinks coffee when he is in the coffee shop only. “Aren't you his secretary? You should've made him coffee a lot, right?”

“Never ask for coffee. He just asked me to order coffee at the coffee shop across from the office.”

Elena frowned. “Don't I misheard, maybe Mr. Bastian asked me to order coffee, not make coffee.” Elena held the jar filled with coffee.

“It's okay, just make it. Maybe he misses coffee made by his wife.” Lala pointed at the coffee jar allowing Elena to continue making coffee.

‘What does Clara often make her coffee?’ inner Elena.

“Does Mr Bastian already have a wife and child?” elena asked a little curiously.

“Not you know about Mr Bastian?”

“Hahaha, I'm just asking. Rumor is it already has a wife but if you already have children, I do not know.” Elena didn't lie, she didn't know if Merrik had a child with Clara.

Lala did not answer Elena's question, she chose to ask Elena back. “Before working here, where did you work?” lala asked, like she was interviewing a new employee.

“I have never worked, graduating college is only busy with competitions.” Elena poured a spoonful of coffee grounds into a portafilter on the coffee maker.

“I heard you won the race in Italy?”

“Iya,” After pouring the coffee powder into the portafilter, Elena compacted the coffee powder using coffee tamper. Once the coffee grounds were solid, Elena paired the portafilter to the coffee machine.

“Why choose work here? Your career can be brilliant if you work abroad.” Lala kept asking Elena.

“My family is back here and I don't want to be away from them either.” Elena poured water into the container at the capacity of the coffee machine.

“I studied in Paris.” Elena answered Lala's every question, still with her coffee-making activities. Turning on the coffee machine and waiting for the brewing process, the coffee water flowed out of the portafilter into the cup that Elena prepared. Elena pressed the stop button when the cup was full.

“You're married?” ask Lala.

Elena fell silent, trying to pretend not to listen. It is said that married is true, divorced is true. However, there is no evidence whatsoever, marriage certificates or divorce papers do not exist. Their marriage was not recognized by the state. Elena took the finished coffee, took palm sugar to put in the cup. “Enough one teaspoon of sugar, Elena.”

“Good," said Elena "Did you say?” elena asked astonished by Lala's call, all in the office will call by the name of Eleanor. Since living with her biological parents, Elena has officially changed her name to her real name.

‘Why did he call me Elena?’ inner Elena.

“Pak Bastian doesn't like to be too sweet, so a teaspoon is enough. Elena!” lala said with emphasis on Elena. Lala looked at Elena's silence. “Why silence? You wonder why I called you Elena?” ask Lala casually.

“Why do you call me Elena? My name is Eleanor.”

Lala gave a quick glance at Elena. “Today I only heard about you! And at this time, I look in front of my own eyes.”

“You know about me?” elena asked in a slightly stammered voice.

“Ya, I know you're his wife.”

“Who told you?” elena looked at Lala.

“It doesn't matter who told me. But, my suggestion is you better stay away from Mr. Bastian.”

“I don't understand you mean!” Trying to take your eyes off.

“If you have decided to leave then do not come back again! It will only open old wounds. Nothing needs to start again."

Who left and who was left behind? Lala spoke as if Elena was the one at fault. “I don't understand what you're saying! Whatever happens between me and her doesn't need you to take care of!” elena said firmly.

“It will hurt him.”

“You know nothing! More about who gets hurt!”

“Do not think only you are hurt, he is also hurt!” lala resolute.

“Do you like it?” ask Elena.

“Yes, I like him, he's a person I admire. Even if I knew, she wouldn't be able to be with me. But all this time, I was the one who helped her and you've been leaving her for six years. Then, let it be like that.”

Elena was upset that someone else knew about her past. He never even talked about his relationship with Merrik to Michele who was obviously his close friend.

"You don't have to worry because I don't intend to go back to her." Elena left Lala alone with a cup of coffee and headed to Merrik's room.

Lala saw Elena's departure. "Where or not you are, I will never be with Bastian!" lala muttered without Elena hearing.

Elena went into Merrik's room, put coffee on Merrik's desk. “Please coffee, Sir. If nothing is needed, I say retreat.”

Merrik saw an unhappy face on Elena, even though they had only been together for less than three months. However, Merrik memorized with all of Elena's mimicry. “What's up? Before making your coffee is not like this?”

“No, no. Can I go?” Elena was about to leave the room.

"Tell me what's going on, Elena?" Merrik.

Elena. "My name is Eleanor. It looks like I've clearly put my name on my CV!" After saying Elena left Merrik's room and returned to his room. He plans to resign after the intruder is arrested and the new product has been completed.
