Camouflage Love of the CEO
Chapter 42 The one who got hurt was me, not him!

Elena exited Merrik's room, she headed for the usual elevator the employees passed by. When the elevator doors opened, Dion came out of the elevator.

Dion sometimes comes to see Merrik for an opinion, but Merrik is his superior first, as well as his friend. Although he now works under Ricci, Merrik keeps a close eye on his father's company. "Elena!" said Dion.

"Sister, Dion."

"You back?"

"Yes, no! I mean I accidentally worked here, I didn't know it was Merrik's company." Elena no longer called Merrik Big Brother.

"Oh so. Can we talk?" ask Dion.

"I have to work, brother."

"Just for a minute."

"All right."

Elena and Dion went to a cafe near the office. They sat in a corner with a glass wall that could see out. Dion ordered drinks for both of them. "How are you?" ask Dion.

"As you can see, fine." Elena picked up her drink and started drinking using a straw.

"Are you planning on going back to Merrik?"

Elena choked on her drink, took a tissue and cleared her lips. "What did Brother say?"

"Have you come back to refer to Merrik?"

"No, I just accidentally worked in his office. I didn't know she set up a jewelry company."

"Didn't you love her anymore?"

"Secondly, if meeting me just talking about this, we'd better end it."

"Sorry, I just want to know. It's not my intention to interfere in your affairs, it's just that I don't have the heart with Merrik."

"The one who was hurt was me, not him! He threw me away like trash. And one more thing, he hurt my parents. Where there are parents who are not hurt to see their daughters are only used for their pleasure. In the past, I thought what he was doing was natural. The older I get, the more I realize that his actions are embarrassing" Elena complained.

Elena recalled the time with Merrik, when Merrik always refused to officiate the marriage, when Merrik gave her a pregnancy-preventing drug and when Merrik taught her various things in bed with all kinds of costumes. Elena was sure it was all just for her sheer pleasure without any sense of love for her.

"But Merrik also suffered, after your departure he was getting closed, his daily life was only used for work. He even fought with his father!" said Dion.

"What's? It's bullshit! How could he suffer, while he could be with the woman he loved, especially now that they were married!"

"Who's married?" ask Dion.

"Isn't she married to Clara?" ask Elena.

"Married to Clara?" dion was confused.

"Yes" Elena replied hesitantly. Rumors circulated Merrik had been married and Elena saw for herself on the ring finger of Merrik coiling the wedding ring.

"Merric is not married. Clara is married and has children. However, she married her lover Pras."

Elena was getting confused by Dion's words. "What do you mean, Dion?"

"What I heard from Clara, Merrik asked her to come to the hospital and make a play as if they were back together. But it's all just a lie."

"Then why did he dump me like a second-hand?" ask Elena.

"That's what I want to know, too. When you left, Merrik asked me to keep looking for information about you. However, it seems your father closed all the information."

"Sister, my parents know that Brother Merrik is looking for me?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Elena sighed. "Isn't what my parents did a natural thing?"

"You're right, I'm just surprised by what Merrik did. She still loves you Elena. He told me he let you go because there was a chance he might not be able to walk again. But you can see that Merrik can walk normally now."

"No, I'm sure he still loves you. There's no way he's looking for you just wanting to know you're like a stalker. What's more, he goes to your village often and stays at your house."

Elena was stunned, how could Merrik go to his house in the village. Is it true that Merrik still loves him? No, if you still love her it is impossible to choose to part! If the reason is not able to walk, in fact he is currently walking normally.

If that possibility was true, Merrik should have met him right away when he could have walked. Elena doesn't think that's the reason. Their parents had all given their blessing, there was no barrier between them. Their parents were not the reason Merrik left her. Other than because there was no love, there was no more reason for Merrik to leave her. "But the truth is like that, brother. There is no love."

Elena suddenly remembered Lala's words that had helped Merrik. "Son Dion knew Lala?"

"Secretary Merrik?" ask Dion.

"Yes. Who's she?"

"I don't know for sure, as I know Merrik helped him, all of his education costs were borne by Merrik."

"What is their relationship?"

"All I know is boss and secretary. Why?"

"It's okay. Just asking."

"I hope you can refer to."

"That's impossible! I don't think there's anything to talk about anymore. I'll take care of you, brother."

Elena left Dion, there was curiosity about Merrik, but there was a sense of no longer being involved with the man. He continued walking until he had reached his room unconsciously. The atmosphere of the room was slightly different after his arrival, co-workers whispering to each other. "Eleanor, I didn't think you could do this!" said Daniar approaching Elena.

"What do you mean?" elena asked confusedly.

"Aren't you the one who leaked our company's design?" daniar said with a voice rising by an octave.

"No, don't just accuse! This is all being investigated, the intruder will definitely be found out. Do you have any evidence to accuse me?"

"What keeps the design is only you, and you as the head designer. Others have no right to keep it, so who else if not you?" Daniar.

"Only on that basis do you accuse me?"

Elena massaged her head, not knowing what Daniar was thinking to accuse him without proof. "Daniar, Mr. Bastian is investigating the culprit. So don't just accuse me first. Let's wait for the results. Anyway I already know what's going on, I'm just waiting for proof."

Daniar was a bit worried, his heart said Elena couldn't possibly do it. However, Riska said it was most likely Elena or herself. Daniar only protects himself if anyone accuses him, even though he is innocent. Sometimes the right can be wrong and the wrong can be right. The world of work is so cruel, mutual slander to protect yourself could happen.

"If not who are you? It's probably just you and Daniar, because you're the ones who hold the design!" said Merry, one of the designers who stood next to Riska.

Elena closed her eyes for a second. "I reiterate once again, we wait for the next news, this case is being investigated. So, I ask you not to be like someone who does not have an accusatory work ethic! I'm sure you're educated people who will solve problems in a wise way rather than provoke each other without evidence like this. We are people who have adab and ethics. Use your brain to think clearly. Not yelling at each other like dogs barking at each other."

Merrik looked over from the entrance, looking at how Elena had solved the problem. The girl has become a grown woman. Suppose first, Elena would cry. He's approaching Elena. "Eleanor."

Elena turned her head, rolled her eyeballs, only two hours ago met him, now she must meet again. "Yes, sir."

"Follow me to the office."
