Wedding Agreement With CEO

"Why are you silent?" Lucas is still curious and thinks all husbands would feel the same if they were in his position. "Tell me, what was the reason Filia resigned from the office?" He added inquisitively.

"Never mind, Lucas. We'd better go now," said Ellena trying to change the subject.

Lucas was silent for a moment. Of course he was still curious. However, seeing his wife's reluctance to talk, he decided to better understand his wife's decision. Besides, he also didn't want to see Ellena cry more because he kept asking about it.

Maybe now wasn't the right time to ask Ellena for an explanation. It seemed he would ask this at another time. Now just leave Ellena as it is.

"Okay, if you really don't want to talk." Lucas replied with a faint smile as he looked at his wife's face. "Enough. Stop crying like that!" He asked while wiping Ellena's tears with his right hand.

Lucas started the car and drove the car towards the highway which was quite far from Filia's house, because the house was indeed located at the back of the housing complex.

His gaze is focused on the future. The roads are already congested with several vehicles. However, not to the point of causing congestion. Until their journey is still safely under control, without having to falter. Lucas then turned to the side, confirming the condition of his wife.

It turned out that Ellena was no longer crying, it was just that the woman looked a little lost. Her stare blankly out the window. I don't know what she's looking at. Even herself did not know what the object of her current vision was, because all that crossed her mind were the figures of Keenan and Filia. All the events in the house, recorded clearly in her memory. She seemed to be watching a scene involving her lover and best friend.

"You must not have eaten lunch yet. Shall we eat first?" Lucas asked.

"I'm not hungry, Lucas. Let's go back to the store. You should go back to the office too, right?" Ellena replied as she turned to Lucas. However, it didn't last long. She then refocused her gaze out the car window.

"No. I won't let you miss your lunch today. We'll still eat first, then go back to the shop." Lucas refused, not wanting to accept his wife's excuse.

"Come on, Lucas ...." Ellena didn't dare to continue her words when she noticed Lucas's intense gaze was fixed on her.

"Okay." She whispered, forced to relent and agree with her husband's words. In a flash he lowered her head, avoiding eye contact with the man beside her.

Right in front of a Korean restaurant, Lucas parked his car. He looked down first, then opened the door for his wife who still looked lazy to get out of the car.

"Come on, don't be so lazy. You've been working all day, then you're going to ignore your lunch. You want me not to give you permission to work again?" Lucas grumbled looking annoyed that his wife was so hard to persuade to eat lunch.

Without responding to anything, Ellena got out of the car very forcefully. Of course he didn't want Lucas to really not give her permission to work anymore. Just as she was about to enjoy her job, she suddenly had to stop halfway because of a trivial matter. Ah, it would be a shame if that happened.

"If you continue like this, I'll make sure the cake shop closes again!" Lucas said firmly when Ellena was standing beside him.

He understood very well how Ellena was feeling right now. Although he didn't know exactly what had made his wife like that, but seeing the woman cry made him feel sure that something was really bothering Ellena's heart and mind at that time.

It also made him worry about his wife. While she was having a lot of thoughts, Ellena neglected her health. Of course he didn't want her to get stressed and end up getting sick. Wouldn't a stressed person get sick more easily?

"No, Lucas. I still love my job. Please don't do it!" Ellena looked pleading while putting on a pitiful expression in front of her husband.

"That wouldn't have happened if you did what I said." Lucas said sarcastically.

"Okay, I'll do what you say. I promise." Ellena whispered, putting on a serious expression, just to reassure her husband.

"Take care of your health. Because health is number 1 and I won't let anyone hurt you even 'Time'!" Lucas' voice was full of emphasis. He seemed to ruffle Ellena's hair slowly.

"Why time?" Ellena raised an eyebrow, looking at her husband questioningly.

"Yeah, because as much time as you spend working, by constantly skipping meals, it's bound to make you sick and I don't want that to happen!" Lucas explained at length.

Hearing that answer, Ellena just smiled as if she understood what Lucas said. In addition, she also felt flattered by the man's words. Ah, she's really happy if she keeps seeing Lucas's sweet attitude like that.

"Let us eat!" Lucas asked with a smile, then took his wife's hand towards the restaurant.

"What do you want to eat?" Lucas looked up at his wife, after looking at the menu list book that the waiter had given him.

Yes, they are currently sitting in the visitor's chair which is right in the corner. Lucas deliberately chose that place, because the place was not too crowded.

"Kimbap," answered Ellena after reading the food menu a few books, then placed it on the table.

"What do you want to drink?" Lucas asked again, still staring at his wife sitting across from him.

"Corn tea," said Ellena, still looking lazy.

Of course he was still thinking about the incident a few minutes ago at Filia's boarding house. The house of a million memories with her best friend, today is a silent witness to the pain she is feeling.

"I ordered Kimbap, Bulgogi and two Corn Tea." Lucas said to one of the restaurant waiters who seemed to be standing not far from him, waiting for their orders.

Lucas seemed to give the menu book back to the waiter. Like Lucas, Ellena did the same, giving the menu book to the restaurant waiter.

"Very well, Sir. Please wait a moment!" The male waiter seemed to bow slightly as a sign of respect to the customer. He grabbed the menu book from Lucas and Ellena's hands. After that, he left from there.

It didn't last long. A few minutes later a different waiter from before, seemed to bring their orders on a tray. She put the food and drinks Lucas ordered on the table.

"Enjoy, Sir, Madam," said the maid before she left the place.

"Thank you." Ellena and Lucas replied at the same time.

***

After lunch, Lucas drove Ellena back to the cake shop. Even though Lucas had repeatedly confirmed, because he wasn't sure about Ellena's condition, which was not okay. However, the woman still insisted on returning to the shop.

It turned out that what Lucas was worried about happened as well. At the shop, Ellena was alone in her private room, contemplating what had happened today. She didn't want to believe it, but it was clear before her eyes. Of course it would be difficult for her to lie to herself, when that fact was clearly displayed in front of her.

"Ah ... my God, why did everything turn out like this? Is this your answer that Keenan is not really my soul mate? The road we have traveled together has been so difficult. one that is still a barrier between our relationship and is still unresolved. I just realized that the blessing we never got from Keenan's parents, turned out to be the biggest code from You that we weren't meant to be. I was hurt, but I was sincere and believe that Lucas, the mate You sent me is the best man who can make me happy now and forever." Ellena whispered while holding her head, then lowered her hands to cover her face. Rubbing roughly.

Ellena folded her arms on the table, then buried her face there. In the heart she wanted to cry, but the tears seemed to be held back and couldn't just be poured out. She didn't know what caused it. What is clear, at this time she had difficulty expressing the pain that was engulfing her mind.

"Oh my God, what did I do? Really I have sinned all this time, for thinking about other men besides my husband. I'm sorry, God. Lucas is a very good man. I should have accepted him as my husband from the start, not the other way around, thinking about other men who definitely won't be able to be with me. I'm sorry," complained Ellena with the same face, sunk on the table.

Until the sound of a knock on the door broke through the room, awakening the woman from her anxiety.

Ellena lifted her head, then focused her eyes on the door. "Who?" She shouted, responding to someone knocking on the door outside.

"I'm Shinta, Miss." answered a shop assistant named Shinta.

Didn't respond right away. Ellena tried to neutralize her feelings, wiping her slightly teary eyes.

"Enter!" She shouts to Sita.

In a short time the door opened wide and a figure in an orange uniform appeared who entered Ellena's room.

"Miss, sorry, there is someone in front of you who is looking for you," said Shinta after she stood right in front of Elsa's desk.

Ellena frowned, surprised by the figure Shinta was referring to, even though she didn't have an appointment with anyone.

"Who?" asked Ellena still with the same expression.

"I don't know, Miss," answered Shinta, who really didn't know the figure who was looking for Ellena. "But I think I saw that person come to this shop, Miss," he added when Bru just remembered the person's face.

.

"Who?"

Ellena, who was increasingly curious about the figure Shinta was referring to, immediately got up from her seat and walked about to walk to meet the person who had made her curious.
