My brother turned out to be my husband
Chapter 17: Unconsidered.
"How do you boys do? Is everything going well?" simon asked his two children between their dinners.
Before answering her father's question, Elena first glanced at the figure of Evans sitting opposite her with a flat face. "Walking smoothly, Pa. Brother is also very good at guiding me, even though I have to spend all my energy and extra thoughts to work." A single smile was imprinted on Elena's beautiful face.
Evans lifted his head and just nodded his head.
Seeing Evans' seemingly innocent reaction, Elena clasped her fork with all her might.
"Goodoo. Papa hopes you can be close and love each other, because you have been living apart for too long. That way Papa and Mama's hearts will also calm down." The father's advice made Elena a little bitter. It felt like his wish would never come true until at any time.
"really. You have to hold hands, because Papa and Mama never know until when to accompany you continue." Samantha chimed in on the husband's advice, as well as giving an implied message to Evans.
"Yes, Pa, Ma" Elena replied while pretending to be busy with her food back. While Evans nodded obediently.
...***...
Elena came down from the second floor of her house in a hurry. Usually the girl will go to the office together with her brother. However, due to misfortune, Elena had to resign to leave alone after being left first by the man. Receiving a call from Albern until three in the morning made Elena wake up late. Understandably, Albern is following his father's service out of town.
"I'm leaving, Ma!" elena shouted while biting the wheat bread with peanut butter that the mother had just made.
"Be careful, honey!" reply Samantha. The woman shook her head while smiling knots.
Elena rushed to her car and left for the office. Since long ago, the girl was most lazy to bring a car, but how else, their family only had two private drivers and all had been taken over by her father and brother.
Arriving at the office, Elena immediately rushed to the tenth floor, the place where the meeting this morning would be held.
While on the way, Jemima had already called her and told the girl, that Evans told her to go straight to the tenth floor and prepare the room, as the meeting would start in half an hour.
"Miss Elena, how can I help you?" ask one of the Office Girls named Emma.
"The meeting's about to start soon, right?" Elena asked back.
"Yes, Non, I hear this room is going to be worn" replied Emma.
"All right." Without further ado Elena started arranging the chairs on the table and took the mineral water in the pantry. Emma offers to help, but the girl rejects her.
"Alright, I'll be on duty in the next room. If there's anything, don't hesitate to call me huh, Non?" emma said kindly.
"okay." Elena smiled as she gave her thumb.
After placing the mineral water bottle according to the number of seats available, Elena began photocopying the file sheets that they would discuss to be placed side by side with mineral water.
Not to forget, he also regulates the air conditioner temperature, checks the monitor screen, and also the microphone.
Elena left the door of the room open, and waited there to greet her superior and some meeting members.
...***...
"Tell them if the meeting will be held on the 12th floor. Don't forget to tell everyone! " suddenly Evans said, as Jemima told him that Elena had finished preparing the room.
"Don't argue, Jem," Evans said coldly.
Jemima could only sigh in resignation. "Alright, then I'll call Elena first" the woman said later.
"No need, he'll know for himself."
Hearing the words of the superior, Jemima could only stroke the chest. Evans' treatment of his own sister was outrageous and was already out of bounds.
Hopefully he does not stay there and can cross paths with other employees.
...***...
It had been ten minutes Elena waited in front of the room, but not a single member of the meeting or the figure of the elder brother had appeared before the girl.
Elena stared at the watch that was coiled around her wrist. This had already passed from the predetermined time, and they were nowhere to be seen at all.
Elena tried to wait in front of the elevator, but again she was unable to meet anyone. Understandably, the tenth floor only contains empty rooms that are intended for meetings and certain events.
Elena had to wait back in her room. Ten minutes later, several employees emerged from the elevator, but they walked into another room, which meant they were not part of the meeting.
Elena tried to contact Jemima a few times. However, Jemima never picked up or replied to the short message he sent.
"Where, anyway, are they?" elena asked irritatedly.
Suddenly, Emma walked into the room Elena was waiting for. He looked at his boss with a pity look.
"Miss Elena," call Emma.
"Yes, what's going on Emma?" Elena who was propping up her chin on the table, suddenly raised her head.
"Emm, that's Miss .. I just returned from the twelfth floor and passed by Miss Jemima. He sent me a message that Mr. Evans had suddenly moved the meeting room there." Emma uttered the line in a very careful tone.
Elena who heard Emma's words was stunned for a moment. His heart throbbed pain instantly. Her chest tight not playing. It was clearly the man who told her to prepare the meeting room. Then why did he suddenly move it without any prior notice?
What does Evans mean by that? Is it because he came late to the office? If it is, it is not so outrageous, considering that he is only five minutes late. Moreover, the meeting had not been held by the time he came there, which meant, he should not have been late.
As much as possible, Elena still looked smiling. The girl did not want to look bad in the eyes of others.
"alright. Maybe I forgot that it turns out my brother told me earlier."
The girl also resigned herself. Not to forget, he asked Emma to help clean up the room.
"Well Miss, let me get it back together" Emma said.
"Thank you, you're so good." Elena patted Emma's shoulder once and rushed off towards the twelfth floor.
"Don't cry, you idiot! Don't cry!" Inner Elena.
