Trapped in Chain Love
Preparation for tomorrow

...Now Elise is gawking. Did he not hear wrong? Julian indirectly said that he wanted to wait for Elise there!? Elise believes the Earth theory is flatter than Julian's current attitude changes....

...————...

"Tomorrow is our important day. Let's show the best effort to potential investors"

That way their final work is done there, tomorrow is the time for Elise and her co-workers to present the results of their collaborative projects to potential investors.

The first time Elise worked with such a big team, of course waiting for tomorrow made Elise feel impatient and nervous simultaneously. He was afraid to make mistakes, so before he went home he again checked all the necessary things tomorrow so that there was no mistake.

If it's like this Elise can be a perfectionist even though she is basically a bit sloppy and less careful.

"Prepare for tomorrow?"

Elise turned around when she heard a familiar voice in her ears. Oliver smiles thinly at her, standing behind Elise who is still struggling with her own laptop.

"Oliver! Ah—iya. I'm afraid to make a mistake tomorrow, because it's better to anticipate first, right?"

Elise answered cheerfully, feeling happy because Oliver again invited him to talk like he used to. In fact, ever since he asked Elise for help to get close to Nicolas the other day the woman rarely asked Elise to speak, as if she was avoiding him on purpose.

Elise who did not know the reason was certainly confused. He didn't make a mistake last time, so why would Oliver treat him like this? In the end Elise did not bother, she just waited until Oliver wanted to talk about the problem and invite him to talk again.

"There is no doubt from our reserve secretary. You're very thorough, Elise."

Backup secretary. Elise's name is from the employees who recognize her, the term exists because she often replaces Fiona as secretary.

"Just prevent mistakes. This is a job that many people do, if I make a mistake tomorrow then their efforts must feel futile"

For information, Elise is the holder of the file containing their results to be presented tomorrow, so you could say the burden of her mind is increasing now.

Oliver chuckled, he strongly agreed with Elise. If tomorrow he makes a mistake then everyone will be affected.

"Don't force yourself okay? I'll go back to the hotel first, see you tomorrow."

He waved his hand before leaving. Elise replied to him with a sweet smile, thank goodness Oliver actually returned to being the friend she knew.

"God! I forgot to apologize to Oliver."

Elise should have said sorry about the birthday party, but she forgot something so important.

'I'll do it tomorrow,'

"Still in the office at this hour?"

The voice of someone interrupted Elise's mind which made the woman a little surprised. He thought there was no one there but him.

Elise was made even more surprised when she saw the figure who spoke, she was Julian—the unexpected person was there.

"I have to check everything for tomorrow." Short words. Answering honestly without bothering to look at the face of Julian standing beside her.

Julian said oh briefly. Like no interest but still silent attention— makes Elise feel uncomfortable.

"Excuse me? Why haven't you gone back to the hotel?"

Elise asked. Actually he gave a disguised code that told Julian to leave, because he was still there for a long time so if Julian did not rush to leave then it would be very disturbing himself.

"Now you're kicking me out?"

Julian gawking. Staring at Elise with a look of disbelief. Could this woman blatantly drive out the boss at the company where she works, does she want to be fired!? If it's the Julian that used to be, maybe Elise will be fired right now.

But this Julian standing beside Elise was different. Surprisingly he had no desire to fire Elise for her brazen actions, he cleared his throat and sat in another chair near the woman.

"Unfortunately I don't want to go now. I'll go if you go, too,"

Now Elise is gawking. Did he not hear wrong? Julian indirectly said that he wanted to wait for Elise there!? Elise believes the Earth theory is flatter than Julian's current attitude changes.

He doubted the authenticity of Julian next to him.

"Do you have to look at me like you're seeing a ghost?"

His words were short because Elise looked at him with a shocked and incredulous look at the same time, what was so shocking about my words earlier? Julian thought.

"Please don't do this. Be the usual Julian Eldegar figure, you can go home first and then make a romantic call with Ms Fiona"

Thinking about the incident a few days ago made him answer that. From his words Elise looks like a jealous person and Julian even thinks so.

'What the fuck? Elise Anderson is jealous of Fiona?'

Julian. It felt like something was tickling her heart as she looked at Elise's flat expression, another feeling she felt, even her heart beating faster now.

"I'll have to make a romantic call with Fiona later. Now I'm gonna help you first, let me check it out"

Julian suddenly picks up Elise's laptop and puts it on his desk and starts checking.

"What are you doing!? Restore it! I can do it myself!"

Elise subconsciously snapped at him. Julian's treatment is so foreign, although not a bad thing but Elise feels uncomfortable.

After all, why was he suddenly this good? The sudden change was suspicious.

"I'll help you. We work together so that this can be finished quickly. So, which part have you checked? We don't want any mistakes for tomorrow, do we?"

Her chirps, ignoring Elise's annoyed face even though what Julian said was true. The work will be finished quickly if done together.

This time, Elise gave up. He showed Julian the part he had checked, and then he started working on the part.

Elise and Julian finished it together. Within three hours of their cooperation, not only were they together but they also felt something else from each other.

Elise is amazed by Julian's ability. On the sidelines of their work Julian asked Elise— about work and others, the woman answered according to what she knew and Julian seemed satisfied with the answers from her.

Although his attitude and speech need to be improved but it turns out that Julian's insight is quite broad.

The three hours they had passed together miraculously brought them closer to each other, perhaps after this Elise's dislike of Julian could be lessened.

Although it had no effect on his goal wanting to cancel their engagement.
