The Love of Mr. Erick
GCTE | Chapter 02

"Well I close today's meeting, we'll be back tomorrow." Erick's baritone voice broke the dim space, the projector screen was turned off and all the members present shook hands after the meeting was stopped.

After all his employees came out of the meeting room, Erick sat in his swivel chair, unbuttoned his suit and straightened the back of the goods for a moment, before finally being chased back for another bustle.

His eagle eyes glanced at the girl who was now cleaning the papers on the table, her nimble hands as well as a serious look immediately raised a smile on Erick's face, thin even then just a glance because the hunt was caught by the girl in front of him this.

"What's my next schedule?" erick asked while pretending to focus on his laptop, trying to hide his obvious misbehavior.

"We had a meeting at a red and white resort with a client, Mr. Narayaka, then a meeting with the commissioner's board, then attended the invitation to Mrs Grace's banquet at the jasmine building." Elena said, this is what Erick likes from the girl is always professional in working also deft.

"Wait, how many minutes do I have to rest?" erick asked then, raising his face looking at the brown sliced girl.

"Sir, you will have free time in the afternoon before leaving for Madame Grace's banquet." Elena explained next.

"Alright, I want to use that time now. to ... talk to you."

"Eh?" Elena buy.

"Sit down." Erick pulled one chair before the girl, Elena hesitated, in her mind something was off this time.

"But sir ... " Elena couldn't say yes to this one, she thought the last conversation with the boss was a passing breeze and Erick was just bragging about his silly question.

Sighing in agitation, Erick then pulled Elena's slender waist so that the little girl sat on the chair, then without Erick's cue pulled the arm of the chair so that the girl could get closer to him, suddenly Erick's actions made Elena gasp because their faces almost collided.

"Why are you so hard to talk to?" the ferocious eyes narrowed, there was an intimidating aura that suddenly overflowed making Elena difficult to breathe for him, three years working together, he was able to know the character of Erick Davidson, he was able to know well, which does seem cold and indifferent also apathetic and selective, but sometimes it can be asked to joke if it is time for it, but when the time has to be serious never once to refute her because Elena knows, the man's anger is hidden like a sleeping lion that when he wakes up there will be no one to stop him.

"Can you stay away? I was claustrophobic." Elena's request made Erick speechless then immediately withdrew, making the girl sigh in relief.

"Do I have to bully you first to get you to talk?"erick said alluding, Elena lowered her head.

"I'm serious this time, we have to talk about delayed chatter." Erick turned his chair back to the table.

"But it seems like our conversation never existed sir."

"There!" Erick immediately jerked. Their eyes met, there was a sense that Erick was trying to express but he was resistant.

"I want a child, and only you can give it to me, Elena cempaka."

Elena clenched, clenched her hands eager to give the man a fist, but she soon realized Erick was her superior, so she chose to remain calm and tried to listen further.

"My father wants an heir for this company" Erick said. Elena knows little of the Davidson family tree, Erick is the first child with one sister from a different mother because of Mr. Rey Davidson, remarried after the death of Catherine's mistress, his wife Erick has a stepmother with one younger sister who both now live in London, while Mr. Rey settled here in Erick's mansion to take part in taking care of the company.

Elena took a deep breath, inexhaustible with all this. "Why don't you just get married?" that was what sparked in his mind, right the man was ripe to build a household, what was the difficulty in choosing a woman to be his companion? even out there many women who queue even just looking at his handsome face.

"I don't believe a relationship of commitment is like a marriage." said Erick, his reply made Elena look at him. A moment later, Elena finally stood up from the chair.

"But I can't, I'm sorry sir, you can find another woman or I can help you find her instead."

"All I want is you."

The girl suddenly laughed making both of Erick's eyebrows fuse together. "What do you see from me? I come from a poor family, there is no guarantee of any privilege, I am just an ordinary woman who wants to live a quiet life. Please don't involve me with personal matters like this."

Then he lowered his face. "I'm sorry if my words are a little harsh, I get carried away."

"It's okay." agile Erick. "But think again about my offer."

"I have a lover sir, sorry."

The girl actually turned around. Again, Erick could only stare at his increasingly distant back, without being able to hold it in.

***

The sun had already risen, after attending a banquet at the invitation of Mrs Grace, the director of operations at her husband's company which also cooperated with Davidson the company, the second most influential after Erick's company.

The C-Class, driven by Erick's private driver, stopped by the side of the road when Elena asked to stop.

"Why?" ask Erick.

"I have a personal matter, sir. All the needs for tomorrow I have prepared, there is a small note that I have attached a place to store the file map, so that you do not forget."

"Medicine is also the stock of vitamins I have handed over to bik Surti, so you do not have to worry too."

"Where are you going? let me take you home."

Elena thinned her lips, the oval-faced girl shook her head. "No need sir, Vicky my girlfriend will pick me up."

Hearing again the name is said to make Erick grit his teeth, then before Elena finally opened the car door, Erick's hand held him.

"What's up, sir?" ask Elena later.

Silently crawling for a while, Erick began to say the thing he wanted to tell Elena long ago.

"Don't be with Vicky, he's a bad guy."

The contention of the word caused an offended look in Elenq's eyes, the girl of Pakistani blood pulled her hand out of Erick.

"I think you need a lot of rest to clear your mind. Excuse me!"

Elena then immediately got out of the car, aware of her attitude earlier, she floated a smile with regret.

"Until we meet tomorrow, sir." he waved his hand and passed by holding a bag and an iPad mini in his hand.

Erick let out a disappointed breath.

"How do I tell you I love you."
