“Have you confirmed it?”
Akram had just taken a cold shower, his hair was still wet and the man was still wearing his bathrobe when he called while standing in front of the window of his room which he accidentally opened his curtains.
The scenery that lies in front of him displays the night feel of the capital in the early morning which is thick in the sky but brightly lit full of lights below. It was already approaching two in the morning, but Akram was looking down there, on a large street that looked so far away that it resembled small lines, the lights of the vehicle that glowed still appear to pass through the streets.
It is as if many human beings are not blessed with the pleasure of sleeping well at night. Like her now.
“I've confirmed it, Mr. Akram. Craden and his assistant arrived at the airport on a private jet late last night. It seems, once getting a call from Xavier, Craden canceled all his work and rushed to come.” Elios from across the phone.
Akram nodded his head. “Good. Send people to keep an eye on them. I'm sure tomorrow Craden will definitely appear directly in the company.” Akram gives a brief command because he knows that Elios has understood his point without having to get a detailed explanation.
After closing the conversation, Akram was still standing staring at the window with a wandering gaze, while a glass of wine was in his hands.
Akram glanced at his wine, savoring its pleasant aroma before then taking a sip.
He hadn't been drinking for a long time. Maybe since he met Elana. But tonight, he really needs a drink. Not only to distract her body from the cry of the need to fuck Elana who is currently far away from her, but also to take her mind off her worries regarding Craden's untimely arrival.
Since starting his company abroad and running a financial business using his famous name in the field of financial checks and auditing, Craden is more often living abroad, especially in the country, although the financial law company that has its name is in this country and has a legal basis in this country as well.
The company has been so large and has a well-known integrity and is run by Craden's men who are both highly qualified like him, so Craden as the owner, as the owner, it hardly required his presence to come do the work and financial checks directly.
Craden could have sent his best man to help Xavier. However, the fact that Craden chose to come directly, of course clearly shows that the man had other intentions than just to help the financial examination process.
Oh, Akram would have known that Craden would soon come as soon as he got the call from Xavier. From the beginning, despite choosing to be on Xavier's side, Craden himself disagreed with the dispute between Xavier and Akram.
The man is certainly happier if Akram can make peace with Xavier like in their previous childhood. That's why, once Xavier called, asking Craden for help to solve the problems at Akram's company, no need to wait twice for Craden to come immediately with excitement. The man must be hoping to have a joyful reunion together.
Akram clearly knew that Craden had a tendency to fascinate women. He only hoped that Craden would not put his eyes on Elana and decided to go after her, because somehow, Elana always managed to make the men around her attracted to her like bees circling honey.
It seemed, Akram had to directly claim Elana as his own in front of Craden for the man to instantly retreat before even trying.

“You request these data from the financial section. I already have the digital data on my computer, but I want to see the hardcopy data as a comparison and also for random check,”
Xavier, who was standing in front of Elana's desk, handed a small handwritten note to Elana's desk.
Elana lowered her head to look at the note and raised her eyebrows slightly. The change in his expression was seen by Xavier who immediately grinned.
“What's up? I've written down the file number in detail and it can't be wrong. The caption I wrote was so detailed that when you handed it over to the financial archives, they could easily find the archive,” Xavier looked down to see his own writing, then grinned as if embarrassed. “You can read my writing, right?” tanyanya.
Elana looked up, then threw her smile towards Xavier.
“Sorry. I just didn't think you wrote like this.”.
Elana's eyes glanced back at the paper Xavier had given her and she couldn't help but put on a smile.
With Xavier's incredible genius and all the advantages that Xavier's intelligence has to offer, Elana had no idea that Xavier's writing would be this bad. Previously Elana imagined that the writing of Xavier would be as beautiful as Latin calligraphy writing with beautiful pen strokes, perfect thin thickness and the size of the letters that align neatly like the results of computer print outs.
But, what appeared in front of him, although lined up neatly and densely, looked more like the writing of a very ugly elementary school child. It was so ugly that Elana even almost wondered if Xavier used his feet instead of hands to write it.
Xavier smiled shyly and straightened up, a red hue flashed across his pale cheeks, but only a glance.
“I'm not good at handwriting. All my skills were spent in front of computers and other digital equipment so I forgot how to write,” he said, shrugging without guilt. “But you can still read it, right? Because that's the most important thing. My assistant should be able to read my handwriting because sometimes I like to give commands in the form of small notes in the form of handwriting.”
Elana looked back at the paper in her hand and it turned out that, even though the letters and the writing were so ugly, she could still understand it. He immediately stared at Xavier and nodded his head.
“I can read it,” fast.
Xavier looked satisfied and nodded. “Good, I want the files on my desk before an hour,” after saying the command, Xavier steps away about to enter his room again.When he gets to the doorway, Xavier turns his head, Xavier, then gazed at Elios sitting at the table near Elana, curiously.“Where's Akram?” tanyakanya. “I see he's still not here when it's eleven in the afternoon. Does he have a morning meeting somewhere?”
Elios who had been busy with a pile of work and various data on his laptop turned his head. For a moment the man seemed to have difficulty giving an explanation, but finally spoke as well
“Mr Akram had a little health issue this morning so he had to see Nathan's doctor, but he is currently on his way back from the hospital to the company. Soon he will arrive here,” Elios replied in a cautious tone.
Xavier frowned. Even with Elana who immediately raised her head and turned her head towards Elios attentively when she heard the sentence.
“Acid cream?” Xavier asked faster. His eyes lit up with curiosity. Because, when yesterday afternoon they parted at the hour after the office, it seemed like Akram was fine.
Elana, who said nothing, turned her head and waited anxiously for an answer from Elios. Just like Xavier thought. Elana herself also finds no symptoms of any health problems when last night they split up and Akram decides to go home to her apartment in order to keep her promise not to touch Elana until Elana decides to repay her love for a month any more.
“No, not sick because of a virus or anything..,” Elios again seemed to have trouble explaining. “Yesterday Mr. Akram had a little too much to drink and had a hangover in the morning. Just that,” finally Elios chose to answer honestly because he could not stand the curious gaze of the two people in front of him.
“Good then, because we will have an important guest today and I don't think Akram wants to miss welcoming him,” while muttering lightly, Xavier steps back into his room.

“Police drinking?” Elana turned her head towards Xavier with a frown. “Is.... does Akram attend dinner last night?” tanyanya.
His mind was still wandering on the incident last night. Akram said goodbye almost towards midnight..Is there possible to have a banquet at such hours? Or maybe the man did not go home immediately but preferred to spend his time at the night club until the morning and drunk there?
As if aware of the bad thoughts that flashed in Elana's mind, Elios immediately replied quickly. Do not want to cause misunderstandings that will certainly make all the problems more runyam.
“Tuan Akram went straight home as soon as he got home from your place,” exclaimed in a reassuring tone. “But, while at home, he opened a bottle of wine and decided to finish it all at once. And you certainly know that since you were with you, Mr. Akram never drank again, because that's why this morning he had a severe hangover. But like I said, Mr. Akram has gone to see Nathan's doctor and got the cure. He called me earlier and his voice sounded healthy, so you don't have to worry.”
Elana nodded her head in response to Elios' explanation. Although there was relief in his heart when he found out that Akram was not a serious pain, but still the fact that Akram consumed a large amount of alcohol and almost out of control immediately grew a deep sense of guilt in Elana's mind.
If Akram decides to drink out of control, is it because of him?
“You want to call to the finance section and ask for data?” Elios who looked up at Elana's desk anchored his eyes to Elana's desk and watched Xavier's paper lying there. “Gosh, the writing is so ugly,” continued Elios spontaneously who instantly diverted Elana from the guilt that excites and creates an amused smile on her lips.
Elana took the paper in her hand and stood up. “No, I'd better come directly to the finance section and ask directly. Xavier had instructed me to supervise the retrieval of this archive so that there was no chance for anyone to slip new sheets of paper or even tear and retrieve the sheets of paper in the archive file.” Elana stepped around her desk, about to head for the elevator. “I... I go down first yes.”
Elios nodded his head and smiled. In fact, he could have taken over Elana's job and dropped off to retrieve the file requested by Xavier. But, he felt that this was a good time for Elana to learn to interact with other divisions in her capacity as Xavier's assistant.
Later, when Elana has carried out her duties as Xavier's assistant fully, there will be a lot of communication skills needed by her, not only to establish relationships, but also to collect information.
“Let's rest, with the employee card you use, all divisions in this company will instantly give you anything you ask in seconds.” Elios touched the employee identity card attached like a pin to his chest, “This card is gold, showing your position as assistant superior in this company with almost absolute orders as an extension of our superior. Even a general manager down there, will not dare to refuse your request,” continued Elios in a soothing tone.
Elana nodded her head and put on her smile. Afterwards he stepped into the elevator and hurriedly pressed the down button, to the floor where the financial statement filing department was located, to run the task.

Akram put on sunglasses when stepping out of the car about to enter his company. His head still felt uncontrollable even though he had taken the aspirin Nathan gave him. Even with his eyes that feel so sensitive to bright light that it hurts.
It was all still added to the dark circles that adorned around his eyes that made his appearance look terrible, like a drunkard who had no common sense.
Akram himself was busy cursing himself out of control last night. He was just trying to take his mind off his desire to hug Elana by drinking one glass. But one glass was then filled again, and again, and again made him forget himself, immersing himself in the cradle of alcohol that helped him stop thinking about everything that was disturbing.
The next morning he received the consequences, waking up with a thumping head like being hit by a hammer with a terrible intensity.
Usually Akram has resistance to alcohol, he does not get drunk easily. That same night, he drank so much but not so much that he made Akram drink more than he should.
Unfortunately the hangover he felt this time was many times more than he had ever felt before. Perhaps it was also because since meeting with Elana, Akram hardly consumed alcohol anymore.
A stupid impulsive decision because now, he has to come to the office in a chaotic condition, when obviously Craden will arrive this afternoon.
Akram was supposed to accept the arrival of his past friend with his best performance, but now he instead makes himself look miserable with dark circles in his eyes, pale face and frown to endure the pain.
Along the way through his office lobby to get to a special elevator, Akram deliberately ignored all the greetings given to him. He only gave a thin nod without slowing down a step or turning his head though.
When he finally got in front of the special elevator and pressed the button to ride, an intrusive thought suddenly riddled his mind.
If Elana were to compare herself to Craden, what would the woman think?
The elevator door opened and rushed Akram stepping in. He was about to press the button to close the elevator door when suddenly, the sound of someone panting was heard from the end of the hallway.
“Wait!”
Akram had to frown because he almost didn't believe his hearing. It was as if his mind had always managed to present the woman whenever he wanted and it all turned out to be just his imagination.
But then, the sound of footsteps that followed quickly showed Akram that the voice of Elana he heard, was not mere imagination.
Akram's hand pressed a button to hold the elevator door open, while his heart thumped with anticipation.
