Camouflage Love of the CEO
CHAPTER 66 Acquisition

Arka invites Elena to relax in the backyard of the house, walking around the garden which is overgrown with various types of plants, by occasionally asking Elena what types of plants are there.

Elena's mind was in turmoil, she thought Merrik would come today like in the movies, who valiantly and with heroic style arrived at the perfect time to thwart her matchmaking. However, hope remained hope, until the event was over Merrik did not show the trunk of his nose. Elena also had no desire to contact him even if just asking for news.

Arka plucked the yellow frangipani flowers that were there and tucked them into Elena's ear. Arka just looked at Elena from the side who was unaware of her treatment. “While daydreaming what?” ask Arka.

Elena only regained her senses when she heard Arka's voice. “En, Yes? Sorry!” elena said indistinctly and lowered her head, she looked extremely unfocused.

“It looks like what you think is so important that you don't realize what I've done to you.”

Elena was confused by Arka's words. “What do you mean?” ask Elena. Arka simply pointed at the frangipani flower in Elena's ear as the answer.

“Oh, sorry. I'm not focusing!”

“Thinking of Bastian?” said Arka relaxed.

“How do you know?” elena was nervous.

“Yesterday he came to me,” said Arka lowered her head, fell silent for a moment and looked back at Elena. Elena looked at Arka as if saying ‘Let's continue your story!’ Arka seemed to understand Elena's gaze and continued her story. “He asked me to cancel today's proposal. He said you guys love each other.” Arka looked forward, colorful beautiful flowers can not entertain the heart of Arka. “And I refused his request. I just feel the need to try to get you. I'll back off if my proposal is rejected. However, in fact you and your parents accepted my proposal. Then why would I cancel it, there's no reason, right? If as Bastian said you love each other, then surely you will reject my proposal!”

“Arka, I ... actually ..” Elena didn't know what to say.

“You just have to try to love me! I'm sure as time goes by, you can love me like I love you!” arka said before Elena continued her words.

“Arka, which Merrik said was right. We still love each other!" elena said with guilt.

“Then, why didn't he come here? She knows today is the day I proposed to you.”

Elena simply lowered her head, she did not know what to say, nor did she know why Merrik had not come. “I give her terms!” arka said cutting off the thoughts in Elena's brain.

“Terms?” ask Elena.

“Yes, if I want to stop this matchmaking, I ask the company to be mine?”

“What! Why is it like that?” elena asked in surprise.

“What's in your pretty brain? What are you thinking, El? Would you think I was greedy? Or are you thinking how much Bastian loves you? Greater love for you or greater love for his company?”

Elena didn't know what to answer, she was sure Merrik loved her but her nose wasn't visible until now. “I'm sure he loves me!” Elena tried to dare herself to be honest with Arka.

“If you love her, why did you accept my proposal?” ask Arka.

“Sorry!” only one word Elena could get out. He knew, not supposed to involve Arka, toying with her feelings.

“You didn't reject my proposal because of your parents, did you? And if Bastian can't keep your love and you stay married to me, would it be fair to me?” ask Arka. Elena could only look at Arka. “El, if you can be with Bastian, surely you can feel very happy with him but you will hurt your mother and if you marry me, then, you have nothing to lose because I will always love you. But, will I be happy to marry a woman who has another man in her heart?”

“Arka!” elena's voice choked after hearing Arka's words, everything she said was true. If he decides with Merrik then his parents will be hurt but if he marries Arka, then not only he is hurt but Arka and also Merrik. “What should I do?” elena asked.

“Follow your heart! You're either waiting for Bastian's decision or you're trying to catch up. The choice is yours Elena, you know better what Bastian looks like. Regardless of Bastian's decision to release his company or not, I will cancel this matchmaking!” said Arka lowered her head, she had decided to give up chasing after Elena, she could see in the eyes of the girl there was not the slightest bit of love for her. He better let go before his heart gets hurt deeper.

“Yes, you just have to tell me when it's time I have to tell our parents to cancel.”

“I don't know what to say to you. I really thank you, you are indeed a good person Arka.”

“Good is not enough for you to love me!” lirih Arka's.

“One day, you will definitely find a woman who suits you!”

“Hopefully.”

Elena was amazed by this man in front of her, a man who could put herself in place without having any ambition that could harm her. Elena prayed in her heart for Arka to meet a woman better than her.

Now it was time for him to see the seriousness of Merrik, if Merrik fought then, he would fight as well.

...***...

On Monday, Elena was allowed to work until the new product was launched, her parents gave her confidence that Elena would keep her promise not to connect with Merrik.

While in El Sunshine's office, he was surprised by rumors from employees that ownership of El Sunshine would be acquired. Elena didn't think that Merrik was right to do it.

"Do you know that our company will be acquired by Mr Arka's company?" ask Daniar.

"No." Elena had no intention of saying anything to Daniar.

When Elena arrived to Merrik's room, this was her chance to ask him. "Are you seriously giving all your assets to Arka?"

Merrik smiled. "If it could give me a chance to be together, I wouldn't hesitate to do it. I just ask you to be patient for a moment, the acquisition process cannot take a short time. Until a new product launch arrives, there will be a new CEO."

"Didn't you love your hard work all this time?"

"You can see, I can build my own company without difficulty, I'm sure I can set up another company." Merrik lowered his head. "It's hard to melt your Mommy's heart" said Merik smiling. "But I won't give up, please wait for me!"

They just throw a smile without any physical contact. Elena will keep her promise not to return to Merrik before she gets her blessing.
