Cinderella and the Mafia Chairman
Section 29

Upon arrival at the mini market, how surprised Ella when she saw the employees in the outside area. Mr. Kirman's parked car left Ella guessing about what happened.

"Why are you guys outside?" Ella asked looking at the disheveled faces of the officers.

"Mom Lena fired us Miss. The rest of the goods will also be sold."

"Nobody's gone." Pinta Ella stormed in. Two men stood beside Lena who was negotiating.

Since a few years ago, the mini market has experienced a decline in sales turnover. That's all because Lena's life is already royal to the point that sales results are often used for shopping.

Many of the customers complained, when they asked for stock but nothing. Let alone to pay a salary, to meet the needs of the mini market alone is no funds.

"The letters don't exist, ma'am, so we just have to pay that much."

"I'll find. Once the letter's found, I'll give it to you."

"Where can Mom. There's a letter the price can be high." Answer bids. The two men stared at each other. They will get a big profit because apparently the mini market is in a strategic area.

"You don't believe..."

"Wait!!" Ella's voice is loud." I am the heir of this place. You can't buy it." Her impression looked at Lena whose face turned upset.

"Oh you. How dare you be here. Because you Prapto froze my ATM. I should have sold this bankrupt place!" Lena glanced at it when Darrel had just arrived.

"You have no rights. Please leave this place." While pointing to the exit.

"Remember El. I'm your Dad's wife. I have rights over all his property."

"It's not enough either." Ella answered quickly. Stare sharply at Lena, with a glazed bead. It hurt when the shadow of torture flashed. The woman who used to be considered good, turned out to be just a wolf in sheep's clothing. Not only damaging mentally, but apparently Lena tried to cut off the treasure of Mr. Sudrajat.

"What do you mean."

"Dad built this with sweat droplets but you destroyed it." Pushing Lena's shoulder with the index finger.

"Dear your manners El. I'm your stepmom."

"I never thought of you as my mom."

"This place should be for sale and for both."

"No. Get out of here!!!" Ella replied without further ado. He felt safe because of Darrel on the side. Where could Lena dare touch him.

"Damn! I will repay you!!" After a rude gesture, Lena left. He had a sharp look at Darrel who was smiling mockingly.

"Well how is this." One of the prospective buyers. The manic looked mischievously at Ella who did look young and beautiful." If indeed Miss is the heir of this place. We're buying it at the highest price." It is very important to have that place.

"You also please come out. Until I don't sell this place." Ella replied firmly. In addition to wanting to fulfill the order of Mr. Sudrajat, many of the employees hang their lives on the mini market.

"Em good. Maybe Miss changed her mind. This is my business card." Giving a business card. Ella did not respond and instead walked out to call the employees back in.

Forced, the two men left while grumbling. Darrel looked around. Many shelves are empty due to the absence of products. Seeing its strategic place makes Darrel feel confident that the mini market can grow rapidly.

His attention was distracted when Ella entered with several employees. They stand in a circle as Ella explains the help Darrel provided.

"Today we receive a salary?" Ask one of them enthusiastically.

"only partially. Em plan half of this money will be used to buy stock goods." Darrel was amazed at the social feeling Ella had. This attitude reminds him of the figure of Nay although sometimes insanity is difficult to control when Nay is faced with hypocrisy and lies.

"That's more than enough, Miss. We promise to stay until this mini market returns."

"But Brother. Look at this place." The last time Ella came was a month ago. At that time the state of the mini market is not too critical." I need money to buy stock. It's only part of it." Imbluk slowly.

"Who usually takes care of in and out of things?" A hand raised. A male official came forward and stood in front of Darrel.

"I'm Brother."

"How much total to pay to complete all the needs of the mini market." Darrel asked with a smile.

"Very many Sis. Em all the stock inside is out."

"I didn't ask that. Please give it to me and give it to me."

"Good Brother." With an excited face the male employee walked to the back of the cash register to pick up some files.

"Em for salary arrears. I'm asking for the report right now so you guys get it." The officers smiled fluffy. Of course, the salary money is always expected. Just hurry they make details so that their salaries can be completed immediately.

"I'm a lot of trouble." Despite saying so, Ella's heart was relieved to see the beaming faces of the servants. Not only a matter of inner pressure but apparently the reality of salary arrears employees into a burden of mind.

"Don't hesitate, I'm your brother." Darrel is more unencumbered when he is called Big Brother to Ella. Maybe the interest is not yet how big so that Darrel can still dismiss the sense that Nay believes that he has changed.

"Help from you I consider a loan."

"I didn't mention that. Don't feel burdened. This help is not obligatory for you to pay. I'm sincere in helping you."

"Oh really?" Ella said as she stared at Darrel in full view. Kindness was shown several times and it should have made Ella believe. But it turns out that it's not easy for Ella to acknowledge the sincerity of a high-caste person like Darrel.

"What are you doing?" Darrel chuckles to realize the expression on Ella's face that seems to accuse her of having the intention of tucked in between goodness.

"Remember me Brother. Even though your help is given. I don't want you to take over this mini market let alone ensnare me by marriage. That's why I'm stressing it now. I want to be free, enjoy my youth, go to college and have lots of friends." Darrel nodded, his manic looking at Ella's lips that were chattering about her wishes after being free from the snares of Prapto." I don't want a partner like you either." Darrel's eyes widened.

"I don't like the last conversation."

"Why? Does that mean you're going to ensnare me by marriage?" Ask Ella to guess. They don't want to be stuck in the same situation.

"No. I also don't want to marry a girl who doesn't love me. But it's an impossible thing. Maybe someone rejected me." Ella frowned. Lips began to cone, staring at Darrel from top to bottom. Looks handsome but he will not be easily tempted given the caste differences.

"Maybe I'm the only one." Darrel chuckled again while Ella put on a sour face." I also don't want to be married to a man I don't love." It felt like Darrel was humiliated. This is the first time a girl has said that. Although he is dominant with delinquents, but so far Darrel has no obstacle approaching a girl he wants.

"Yes okay. You are so beautiful. It's still too short to get to know each other let alone like each other."

"No. I'm not interested." Ella replied quickly.

"God. You refused before I said anything."

"That's a sign you have bad intentions, brother." Again Darrel was accused of bad accusations lodged in Ella's brain.

"Just be honest. So far I still think of you as a sister. I've wanted a brother for a long time, it would be nice to have a sister like you."

"Hm. I hope you're committed to your words." After throwing it Ella went towards the gathered servants.

Darrel stared from where he stood. In a few days Ella can grow feelings of liking. I heard heavy breathing blowing. Darrel admits Ella has a very pretty face and may even be so pretty.

Which man is not interested. But I promise not to snare let alone force. How could you not love me Ella. It's too early to talk about that, but you've caught my attention.
