Camouflage Love of the CEO
Chapter 43 Calling the Father

"Eleanor." Merrik's voice suddenly resounded in the room, beside Merrik stood Jakson.

Elena looked over when her name was mentioned. "Yes, sir."

"Follow me to the office."

"Good."

"Miss Riska is coming too." Jakson added.

"What's? Me, Sir?" ask Riska hesitating.

"Yes. Is it less clear?" ask Jakson again.

"Good, Sir!" answer Riska.

The four of them came to Merrik's office. Merrik sat in his chair, Elena and Riska standing in front of Merrik. Jakson stood beside Merrik.

"Is he the one?" merrik asked Elena, pointing at Riska with his chin.

"I don't have any proof yet, sir!" said Elena.

He will not accuse people. Even though he's sure who did it.

Jewelry issued by Jewel Bright is indeed very similar to the design owned by the company El Sunshine. However, there were some details that Elena and Daniar added yesterday.

Before the plan they added, there was a side that used carvings from Riska's design that had not been Elena and Daniar perfect and none other than Elena, Daniar and Riska who knew it. And that makes Elena sure that the culprit is Riska, because Elena had seen Riska photograph the design. When reprimanded, Riska said she would remove it. All employees know that they should not document any plans. Jewel Bright was the last piece of jewelry that the three of them designed last time.

"What do you mean?" ask Riska protesting.

"It has. Jakson, just go ahead!" merrik cut Riska's talk.

"We already know that you are the one who gives our company designs to competitors. This is the proof" Jakson said.

Jakson gave the file to Riska. The evidence when he submitted the design to one of Jewel Bright's employees and also evidence of Riska's savings mutation. There is a large amount of money transfer from someone who works at Jewel Bright.

"Sir, Bastian. I can explain, I had to sir." Riska tried to explain. However, Merrik already did not want to hear anything.

"Jakson, do as per procedure about the company's secret leak." Merrik's orders.

"Good, sir." Jakson invites Riska to leave the room. He and Riska go directly to the HRD section which will automatically be forwarded to the legal corporate division that will handle legal issues both internal and external. Including in the case of corporate confidential data leaks.

After the departure of Jakson and Riska, Merrik and Elena stayed in the room. "Can I go?" ask Elena.

"Not yet" replied Merrik.

"There's a need again, sir?"

"Are you just going to stand there? Sit down."

Elena breathed out slowly. He sat in front of Merrik. "Is there anything to talk about again, sir?"

"Now what's your plan? We couldn't have put out a design before!"

"Me and the team are going to make another design, sir!" answer Elena.

"How long?" ask Merrik.

"Three weeks, for a set of jewels."

"Too long. We've already advertised that we'll be releasing a new product next month. If three more weeks have just finished the design then when is the production process?"

"I will try it immediately. Mr."

"I want certainty about the time!"

"Well Sir, Two Weeks."

"One Week."

"What Sir?"

"You mind?"

"Too fast. Sir!"

"Ten days. Can't be bargained anymore."

Elena hesitates, but she will prove to Merrik that she has integrity at work. "Well, Mr. Bastian."

"We agreed on it that way."

"Can I get out?"

"Yes." Yeah." Merrik had to let Elena out of her room. Elena got up from her seat and started to step out. "Wait." Merrik's voice stopped his steps.

"What's up, sir?" ask Elena.

"Do you have any other designs?" asked Merrik who was unwilling Elena left.

"Of course there is, I showed it at the presentation last time. But you refused it."

"good. Mr." Elena actually left Merrik's room. Merrik could only stare at Elena's back that disappeared behind the door.

After thirty minutes, the door was knocked. Merrik smiled. "Lake in." Merrik had been waiting for Elena to come before him. However, all that disappeared after that entered was Daniar.

"Corn, Sir. Eleanor said you needed a design beforehand. I came to bring it." Daniar gave the draft to Merrik with a fluffy smile.

"thank you. Where's Eleanor?"

"There's in his room. He asked me to bring you a draft."

Merrik looked at the draft in his hand and his eyes were drawn to a simple yet beautiful necklace. "Who made this?"

"Collaborate designers, sir."

"Just a necklace? Not a set?" Merrik turned his head to Daniar.

"Can I see?" ask Daniar.

Merrik gave the draft to Daniar. Daniar. "Sorry, it looks like it's a tucked draft. This isn't a design we made for a new product, it looks like it belongs to Eleanor personally."

"Call him here" said Merrik.

"Good, sir."

Daniar left Merrik's room. He relayed Merrik's orders to Elena. "Eleanor. Mr. Bastian called you!"

"What's? Didn't you give me the draft?"

"Yes. But he wants to see you."

"Why else?" muttered Elena.

"Lately, Mr. Bastian is directly involved in the design process, even though it used to be only through Jakson." Imbuh Lani is one of Elena's assistants who has worked for a long time at El Sunshine.

"I'll go there first." Elena went to see Merrik again. He was like an iron that paced back and forth but did not smooth a tangled mood.

"Mr looking for me?" elena asked after being in Merrik's room.

"Yes. There's something I want to discuss. Sit down."

Elena sat down in front of Merrik's table. "What's up, sir?"

"This is your design?" asked Merrik while thrusting a draft at Elena.

Elena accepted and saw it. "Oh, Sorry, Sir. This isn't a plan I've made for a new product, sir."

"Then, what's this doing?"

"Just make it for personal, sir. For new products, the design is still in the discussion stage first with the team. You can see the previous draft during the presentation last time. Over here, sir." Elena showed me her previous plans.

"I'm interested in this design. You can develop it into a set of jewels."

"Emm, the plan was just for personal use, sir. I haven't thought of being spread."

"Then think about it!"

"If you like such a concept, I'll make another one, sir. Not with this one."

"If you may know, what is the theme of this necklace?"

"False hope, sir!" elena was sure.

Merrik just kept quiet to hear Elena's words. Like a stranger in his ears. Is he insinuating her? "Can you please explain the details?"

"Mr can look more closely. You will see a beauty on the front. However, when you look at the back, it will look a falsehood of the beauty. The back is not as smooth as the front and is made with a slightly rough carving, sir."

Father, Sir. Repeatedly Elena explained with a call that Merrik thought seemed to be getting older. Although it is not denied they have a 10-year age gap.

"Can you not call me Father!" More questions lead to the command word. Merrik is distracted by Elena's call to Father. Even though all the employees call her that. However, if Elena were to call him Father managed to create discomfort in his heart.

Elena rounded her eyes. "Sorry, I can't, sir. You are my superior and I am your subordinate!" elena said firmly.
