Camouflage Love of the CEO
CHAPTER 57 The Cessation of Lala
Merrik looked at Lala filled with pity. “I never threw you away because I never picked you up.”
Lala's face immediately turned deathly pale. “You told him your illness?”
“She noticed.”
“Lying! Surely you told him, he is the main person you will never tell than anyone else.”
“No, I'm not lying! He himself knows it. Just like you found out for yourself about me.”
“Hahaha, looks like he's been trying so hard on you! Then, why would he leave you if he didn't mind your situation and now even come back!” lala said with tears, but also with a pitiful smile.
“He never left me, I was the one who kicked him out all this time.”
“You just made excuses for him!” lala protest.
“Lala, there is a thing between me and Elena that no one else can understand.”
“Am I someone else for you? How do I feel about you? Do you understand my feelings?” lala asked with tears.
Merrik exhaled slowly, feeling guilty saying, “I'm sorry, I love Elena so much. I think you know for sure, because loving him too much can sometimes be impulsive, rash in making decisions. I just thought about his happiness, felt that my illness would make him unhappy so I decided to part with him. Unlike dealing with you, I can calmly face you, our togetherness is really only limited to seeing the results of treatment. It's the difference between love and not, I ..” Merrik stared at Lala, however this girl helped him a lot in some years Merrik was undergoing treatment, when he could not tell anyone, this girl finds out for herself and ends up becoming Merrik's friend. “Thank you for accompanying me on medication all this time, look for your own happiness.” Merrik always thought Lala was his sister, but he couldn't tell Lala because Elena didn't like Lala being around him either.
“What do you mean? You also want me out of the company?” Lala's eyes became blurry because of the many tears that pooled.
“Didn't you want to continue your studies to a higher level? You can use this money to continue your S2 college and can for your living expenses while carrying out science.” Merrik gave a check sheet, regardless of how many zeros were listed on the check.
“This is all for sure the request is ‘right? He hates me!” shout Lala.
“No, this is purely my wish.”
“Why? Why take care of me?”
“I just want to make my wife comfortable, I don't want to make her feel bad if you're still around me.”
“Are you going to get others close to you to stay away from you because your wife is unhappy?”
“Ya,” replied Merrik for sure. “For so long, only you are close to me.”
“No, I don't want to! I am with you more than you are with me! Why can't you see from our time together? Why did you choose with him who obviously your togetherness was only a matter of months?”
“This is love, even though my togetherness and Elena are only a matter of months even in just a short time. However, our hearts are too deep to love.”
Lala was crying, tears were not stopping, she was unwilling to accept the cheque from Merrik, stood up and ran out of the restaurant. It was a clear day but a cloudy day for Lala. Merrik could only watch Lala leave.
The next morning, as Elena was about to enter the elevator, passing Lala, she was surprised by Lala hugging the cardboard containing her belongings. Lala looked at him cynically, a gaze full of anger.
"Why bring stuff?” ask Elena. He had no idea that Lala had stopped working. Merrik didn't tell himself.
“No need to pretend!”
“Pura-pret?” elena asked astonished.
“I'm sure you're the one who asked Director Bastian to fire me ‘kan?”
“No, I didn't do anything.”
“Cih, you hypocrite! Elena, I'm going to prove that your presence in Bastian's life only brings trouble for him! Just wait for the play date!” After saying Lala left the company.
Staring at Lala's back that was getting smaller, Elena was more astonished by Lala's words. But he won't dispute it. Elena went to Merrik's place, wanting to know clearly. “What's wrong with Lala?” ask Elena.
“Nothing.”
“She just wants to continue her studies.”
“Merrik don't lie to me! We agreed not to lie!” firmly Elena.
Merrik raised his eyebrows. “So you called me what?”
“What?” elena asked confusedly.
“You called my name directly!” merrik looked at Elena.
“Sorry, Mr. Merrik.”
“Am I that old?”
“Then what should I call?”
Merrik looked at Elena intensely. “I miss you calling me Brother Merrik.” Merrik's affectionate gaze clearly radiated.
Elena just put on a smile, like a teenager in love. “Do not want, this is in the office.” Elena remembered Lala again. You haven't told me what really happened?”
“He's right to continue college, I'm the one who dismissed him! I don't want you to be uncomfortable with her being near me.”
Elena shut her mouth. “You're serious because it stopped him?”
“Yes, I don't want you to feel uncomfortable.”
...***...
On Friday’at night there was a historic jewelry auction, Merrik brought Elena to attend. No one suspected why Elena was brought in, because everyone knew that Elena was the head designer. Many jewelry companies attended the auction. Likewise with competing companies, Jewel Bright. The president, Jimmy approached Merrik. “Goodnight Director Bastian,” greet Jimmy.
“Night, Director Jimmy,” said Merrik.
“I heard your new product will be released, why is there still no news?” asked Jimmy in a quip.
“We are just preparing a very special product, so it requires careful preparation.”
“Oh, like that. Alright, hope your product works!” jimmy said with innuendo.
“Ya, thank you! How are your new products sold? I hear you can't even explain the meaning of your new product?” ask Merrik relax.
Jimmy immediately pale, how could he know the meaning of the jewelry he took out, he got it from Riska, a traitorous Merrik employee. “Something that starts with a bad thing will result in something bad too!” merrik said with a little whisper to Jimmy.
“You better just think about your own company because people who are close to you do not mean he is loyal!” jimmy said with a look at Elena who was beside him. Either a look to intimidate Merrik or a fascination for Elena's beauty.
Merrik stared at Jimmy sharply, not because of the words that were thrown out but because staring at his wife was intense. “Better you keep your gaze!” menrik Ancam. She really disliked Elena in the face of other men.
