The Love of Mr. Erick
GCTE | Chapter 13

"Do you love your boss, Elena?"

The chubby-cheeked woman nodded, then she fell silent. His brain suddenly blank instantly, he should be able to answer 'no' easily, but there is the will of his heart that holds back, so that all he can do is look down while looking at the cellphone in hand.

Marvin looked at him, and the man chuckled. "Don't tense up so, I'm just kidding." The man who was still wearing his great white coat tightened his grip on the steering wheel of the car.

Elena looked up at him, she laughed even though it was faint. "Joking big brother passed, I almost hang it earlier."

"Sorry, just a prank. You end up telling me about your boss that's so excited. No offense, okay?"

Elena shakes her head. "I'm not offended, of course."

"Mmm, okay. Doctor sir can we leave now, because I'm starving." Elena said.

"Well, we don't want our beautiful lady to starve. Let's go!" marvin exclaimed excitedly then the luxury car he drove began to creep slowly leaving the skyscraper courtyard.

The restaurant in the big mall looks very exclusive, there is a typical mascot where they stand at the entrance door while giving a brochure in the form of a menu book and also a discount for their first opening.

Erick and Clarissa walk side by side, like a magnet their presence is so attention-grabbing, especially when they know the beautiful star who often wara-wiri in magazines as well as infotainment Clarissa antarnia, it's here especially when those people know who's standing next to Clarissa, the young entrepreneur who always holds honorary degrees and honors in business, making them even more clucked with admiration to see the two figures full of light.

Not far from Erick-Clarissa, now Elena and Marvin have stepped into the restaurant that turned out to be the place they were headed, the same.

When she first set foot on the marble floor of the restaurant, Elena took a deep breath and slowly elaborated, Marvin noticed her behavior and the man chuckled.

"It's a habit to go to such a crowded place you must be nervous."

"Eh, Marvin's brother knows?"

"Of course, we grew up together since childhood, which I may not know about your habits. Wonderful, how can you be a great CEO secretary, who every day has to meet the crowd." he joked back.

Elena clucking. "My nervousness is not every time, brother. If about the work as much as possible I must be professional.Just the visitors here are too crowded so I'm a little surprised."

Marvin instead laughed amusedly making Elena pout. "Sister Vin already, mocking me constantly." if it's like this Elena must be provoked and angry.

"Alright, alright. Sorry" Marvin tried to ease his laughter. "Let's pick a place." Take the man then. Elena nodded then the two walked together to choose a table that felt right.

"It's a good place, Instagramable, too. You can get into my favorite restaurant" Clarissa said as she and Erick scanned the restaurant's appearance.

"What do you think, CEO?" ask Clarissa a little teasing.

"good. It is profitable to build a restaurant here let alone the appearance of his place that is very liked by young people into an increasingly large attraction to take business opportunities."

"We're at that table how's it going? there is a beautiful background there, I want all the photos." take Clarissa who is exited instantly, the soul of the influencer thrashed want to immediately take good pictures there.

Without waiting for long, Clarissa then pulled Erick's arm to follow her steps.

"Elena, we'll just sit there." point Marvin at an empty table that not too many people pass.

"Alright, it's up to the big brother" said Elena, manut. Both of them immediately walked to occupy the empty chair but suddenly all of them suddenly silently pegged.Elena was stunned when she saw the man she knew very well with a woman was about to take the same seat.

"Elena!!"

"Sir Erick!!"

The two greeted each other in surprise. The two people beside them also looked at each other in shock.

"You know him, Elena?" ask Marvin to the girl.

"Why Erickson? you know that woman?" clarissa also asked the man who had just been frozen silent since then while his gaze seemed to draw on the girl in front of him.

**

A moment of silence struck. Both Erick and Elena were staring at each other unexpectedly about to meet at the same place.

Just at that moment a restaurant waiter came, he saw the two couples then exclaimed cheerfully. "Gosh, are you guys doing a double date?" He misunderstood, thinking the four men were dating together.

"It just so happens that our restaurant is opening a massive discount for couples visiting here. Please sit, ladies and gentlemen."

The atmosphere is getting runnyam. Finally, all they could do was follow the direction of the black apron maid who was in line with the hat.

Erick and Clarissa were sitting in seats that were next to each other as well as Elena and Marvin were sitting in empty seats next to each other right in front of them, until now the position of the two couples facing each other, Erick is facing Elena and Marvin facing Clarissa.

The intimidating aura emanating from Erick seemed to kill the oxygen supply making Elena crowded, since a while ago the gaze of the yellow-skinned man could not be separated from her made Elena seem confined between the pair of beautiful hazel eyes. While Clarissa and Marvin also look awkward, staring at each other and then at the two people who are now staring at each other as if storing something.

"You pair are so harmonious." the call back from the maid made the atmosphere slightly melt even though nervousness was still felt.

"really?" Marvin, the first to respond. "I never know if we both look good, don't you think Elen?"

Elena just nodded while smiling thinly, not in the slightest thought Marvin grasping the back of his hand made Elena turn her head instantly.

"Pretend to be a lover so we can get a free discount here." the man whispered while winking.

Another thing Erick who saw the scene in front of him now made the burning feeling in his chest bubble like hot lava, he did not like to see the man who tried to tempt Elena.

Clarissa noticed Erick's change in attitude, she casually rubbed the back of Erick's hand, "What do you want to order, baby?" suddenly tanyanya. He made everyone look at him.
