Trapped in Chain Love
Dad's orders.

...Stuck with Elise even had to work with her. For Julian it is the same as the nightmare—lagain, he already intends to all invite Fiona to travel in the country. It had been a long time since they had spent time together in a different atmosphere, so his father's request was a hindrance to his plan....

...————...

"You should take Elise as a partner while working on these projects."

Julian fell silent after hearing the father's words. A few minutes ago his father called, very rarely did he call directly to him—if this is a job problem, usually the father will convey it through Julian's assistant, Nicolas.

"What?"

He doubted his hearing which he believed was fine. Julian's father, Benjamin Eldegar, again spoke to his second son who seemed to be in disbelief.

"You're gonna work on this project with Elise. I wouldn't give you a right if Elise didn't come, would you understand?"

Apparently he didn't hear wrong. Elise Anderson was a name Julian had never thought of, even though she had the status of being his fiancee but the twenty-eight-year-old never really cared about her.

But suddenly the father says he must work with Elise, even if it is not him then Benjamin will cancel his rights as the person in charge of their big projects.

Julian definitely didn't want to! Projects this time are quite large and long, moreover they will collaborate with companies from other countries and stay there for a while until their projects are completed.

Stuck with Elise even had to work with her. For Julian it is the same as the nightmare—lagain, he already intends to all invite Fiona to travel in the country. It had been a long time since they had spent time together in a different atmosphere, so his father's request was a hindrance to his plan.

"I don't want daddy! What happened to Fiona? She did a good job as my secretary, so it doesn't matter if I bring Fiona to projects this time"

Julian tried to negotiate. If he's stubborn, maybe the father will reconsider his request and let Julian serve with Fiona.

"Who said this was a request? This is an order. I order you as the chief director not as a father to his son.—so, if you refuse then I will consider you unprofessional and cut your salary"

The man stuttered, inexhaustible with threats from his father who brought about the salary as well as the status of superiors and employees.

"A—what? What is that dad!? I'm your son!"

Julian raised his voice. The bitch was upset by the father's words, while Benjamin just there shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"You're my son and the employee who works for me, because I'm the boss who gives you the salary, so I'm entitled to do this right?"

Treating the same between the employee and his child was something Benjamin always did. He did not want to make his children seem spoiled because he relied on his status as a child of the main owner of the company.

Julian certainly could not reply to his father's words anymore. The father is different from his mother who always obeyed what he wanted, but Julian was not able to take his father's orders just like that.

"But dad, I don't want—"

"It's your fault for never trying to get close to Elise. Now it's hard for me to make him a son-in-law"

Julian just thought. What was the reason her father so wanted Elise to be a part of their family? Julia doesn't like Elise, but she still insists on making the woman Julian considers a bully part of her family.

"Why did you want to make Elise Anderson your son-in-law? He's not that good as Dad,"

"You still haven't called Elise by her first name?"

Julian quiet. His habit when hating someone is to mention the person's full name, he will never call the nickname of the person he does not like.

The silence in Julian's office was long enough. There was only the sound of cars outside and the breeze from the open window.

"So you think Fiona's good for you?"

It's a silly question for Julian. There was only one answer to that and he answered it with confidence.

"of course. I dare guarantee you,"

At the end there Benjamin smiled wryly. The trust Julian has in Fiona is worth a thumbs up, but all he does is blind faith and overestimate—n close to the bull because he does anything for Fiona.

He doesn't know all about Fiona's nature.

"We can't know the human heart, July. The love you exalted can be shattered like a sand castle overnight, don't be blind just because of love"

"I don't like it when you're vilifying Fiona like this."

"Dad doesn't like it when you're always prejudiced against Elise"

Of the many people Julian knew, only his father could always reverse his words.

"Haaa—well, I'll do what dad ordered."

Julian finally resigned, he just did what Benjamin wanted as long as he could be in charge of the projects they are working on now.

Benjamin smiled happily. Although he knew Julian was forced to do so, if he was not forced to do so, Julian's feelings would be difficult to develop.

He was very sure Julian would have feelings for Elise.

"good. I've booked you a hotel, make sure the project goes well and when it's all done we'll talk again about your engagement to Elise"

"Daddy will cancel it when the project is finished?" His tone turned light. Julian did not hide the fact that he was happy just in case his engagement to Elise was canceled by Benjamin— only he could do that, because the approval of the head of the family was needed.

"If your feelings remain unchanged, I'll cancel them."

In his heart Julian cheered in excitement. He even deliberately plays the chair he sits in, twirling his chair because he is happy with the possibility that his relationship with Fiona will return to what it used to be. Without bullies like Elise.

"So you gave up on Elise Anderson as a daughter-in-law?"

"No. Haven't. I'll think of another way to do that, maybe your brother will take your place as his fiancee"

Julian speechless. The only brother he has is Lucas and he believes Lucas doesn't think about romance because he's too focused on his job, but Benjamin says Lucas might want to be Elise's fiance?

'But Lucas wants to be Elise Anderson's fiancee?'

"That's impossible"

Benjamin chuckled amusedly at Julian's conviction. How could this second son of his be so sure that his brother did not put his heart on Elise

"Pfttt—you who aren't hooked on the appeal of Elise won't know. She's an interesting woman"

Benjamin said it sincerely. He made her as Julian's fiance not only because of her father's debt, but he also liked Elise's persistent nature and personality.

That's why he wants to put Elise in his family.

Feeling that what was in his interest was done Benjamin said goodbye, he had to attend a meeting soon so his conversation with the middle son had to stop there.

"Then you're safe to work. I'll look forward to the good news from you later,"
