The Love of Mr. Erick
GCTE | Chapter 14

Seeing everyone's gazes pointing at her, Clarissa blinked for a moment. "Why am I wrong, right?"

A moment's stretch. Marvin, the man who first responded to Clarissa's words.

"Ah, it's okay. If you're really her lover, you didn't call her wrong, baby. That's also if it's true that you are his lover," said the man whose tone at the end that seemed mocking to make Clarissa murmur on him.

"Relse ... " Elena nudged Marvin's ribs so he wouldn't say anything.

"I'm just kidding, baby," said Marvin. The affectionate call from the man made Elena startled to look at him.

"That's just kidding too. Don't be too serious," Marvin said quickly, so Elena wouldn't misunderstand.

While Erick was silent, did not intend to mediate or defend Clarissa. The man shook his gaze now only on Elena. There was a word he was trying to say to the woman as their eyes dived into the depths of each.

Unable to bear Erick's deepening gaze made Elena uncomfortable, so he avoided the man's eagle eyes as much as possible. By talking to Marvin.

"What do you want to order?" ask Elena again.

"Samely you are rich" said Marvin.

"Cock it up to me. Yes brother dong want to eat what?"

"I'm following you, baby."

"No, call me baby again!" sulcan Elena.

"Handler." Marvin chuckles.

It further makes the man who is now in front of them burned because of it. Erick's sturdy jaw hardened, his teeth grinding in harmony with the veins on his neck that are plastered real. He does not like to see how the intimacy displayed by the two people in front of him.

Is it true that Elena has her heart set back? instantly Erick's heart melted sadly. Was he really late this time?

Clarissa noticed Erick's change in attitude and glared her eyes at the girl before her, making Clarissa stare sadly. All the body language that Erick showed was like it showed that the man was jealous.

"So what do you want to order?" ask the waiters to them. Distracting the topic of conversation that has become increasingly strange since.

"Sister, let's ask what, waiters wait for it." Elena repeated, still trying.

"What do you want to order, brother come along."

"Ish, long time no mesen here."

Marvin laughed because of Elena's behavior that was upset by her. Until suddenly

Brakk! the sound of the table shaking made them look at each other at the same time.

"Whisper!" one word of emphasis that Erick pointed at the two people in front of him. "If you don't intend to order better don't be here" he concluded.

**

"Hey, relax bro. I'm sorry if that bothers you" said a slightly sorry Marvin. He tried to dilute the atmosphere by holding back laughter.

"Elena, who is she?" I couldn't bear the end, Erick asked. Without caring about Marvin who tried to be familiar with him.

The girl he asked the question stuttered for a moment, then looked towards the man beside him.

"Mmm, this is Marvin's brother, my friend sir," said Elena.

"Sister Marvin, this is Mr. Erick Davidson, my boss the CEO at the Davidson's company. Sorry for introducing you so late."

"Hey, I know him." said Marvin as if remembering something. "Ah, yes your name was once on the list of the most influential businessmen in the magazine. I happen to read it at a glance."

"Not really. Just a quick look at his name, never seeing the real thing. I didn't think Elena was working as her secretary?"

"Yes my brother." replied Elena nodding softly.

"Hello Mr. Erick, I'm Marvin Anggara sutena." Marvin stretched out his hand to shake the introductory sign. But the man in front of him was just staring flatly without welcoming his hand.

Awkwarad's atmosphere happened. Like the sound of crickets can be heard among the silence, luckily the cry of the waiters who have been tired of waiting can distract.

"So, do you want a message?"

"Ah yes of course miss waiters." - timpal Marvin. "Sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's okay sir, I love watching this drama." said the waiters.

***

After successfully ordering, now the four people are silent again. No one spoke until their order came.

Elena ordered a complete lunch menu package containing grilled chicken and sambal which always must be in every side dish, Marvin was similar to Elena only he balanced it with vegetables that tend not to like Elena.

Erick ordered spaghetti bruscheta with his favorite green tea without sugar, Clarissa ordered a similar one with Erick.

Actually since then Erick's mood has been so messy that he ordered the origin of his lunch menu. After seeing the scenery that makes his blood flow as if heating up, eating dishes was no longer a taste for him. If he hadn't been monitoring what Marvin would have done with Elena after this, Erick would have left. Fed up of seeing how Marvin was trying to get attention with Elena.

"Come on Elen, you should eat vegetables too. Don't eat spicy food." persuaded Marvin to the girl to want to also eat fruit and vegetable salads that he ordered.

"Sister. Vegetables are not good." Elena refused. But Marvin did not give up, finally a mouthful of green vegetables entered Elena's mouth, forced to chew it while pecking at the man.

"Well, that is.You also have to eat vegetables with high vitamins to be balanced. You know a lot of cases of diseases that occur at a young age vulnerable because of the absence of consumption of nutritious food." Marvin lectured at length.

"Yes yes, I know." cried Elena half-lazy.

Erick stared with a sharp glint, the man's burly fingers as if strangling the spoon in his grasp.

Brak! Erick makes a loud noise when he presses the spoon that directly collides with the table.

"Why Erickson?" the third turned his head, Clarissa first asked.

"I'm full." then the man stood up.

"Wait where are you going?" clarissa asked with a disappointed face. The lunch together that he imagined would be romantic with the man turned out to be a total failure. It didn't go as he expected.

"At the end of office hours. There's a lot of things I have to take care of."

"And you're Elena, if you're done get back to the office or you'll be with me. Because I don't like employees who waste time" the man told Elena in a slightly sarcastic tone.

"No. Elena, I'm going home with me. You take it easy, CEO, he won't be late for office." Marvin cried, quickly.

"I'm not talking to you, Mr. Marvin anggara sutena," Erick said. That made Marvin stupefied.

Clarissa looked at the three people in turn, she was like a shadow that was not considered her presence here. What was going on between the three of them?

"Elena. You better go back to the office with me." Suddenly Erick had grabbed Elena's arm.

"No. I told you he'd come home with me." Marvin did not lose quickly, he also pulled Elena's hand.

The atmosphere is getting heated up and out of control. There was a full highlight of the competition when Erick and Marvin came into view.

"You choose Elena. want to come with me or come with her?" ask Elena Erick. While the girl was made mentored by the two men.
