Chapter 83 - INTERIOR DESIGNER
"Mom, I\'m leaving first."
After saying goodbye to her mother, Ellena immediately rushed out of the house. The reason is today she has made an appointment to meet with an interior designer who will help her design a bakery.
Some time ago, Lucas bought an empty building that would be used as a bakery, according to his promise to his wife. However, to meet Ellena\'s satisfaction, Lucas deliberately chose interior designs from well-known companies. He wanted Ellena herself to choose the bakery design according to her dreams.
The condition of the streets of the capital city is always congested, as if there has never been a death. Ellena seemed to be enjoying the trip to the restaurant she was going to visit. Every now and then, she could be seen gasping for air while looking out the car window. The sidewalk is also full of pedestrians.
A glimpse of longing for the atmosphere when she lived a normal life like an ordinary woman who lived in simplicity. Feel how exciting it is when racing against busyness in the morning, because you have to come to the office on time. How she missed her with the noise of car horns and the sting of the sun that almost burned her body. Ah, even she almost forgot the last time she felt it all.
Ellena should feel happy and lucky because now she has the status as the wife of the richest man in this country. The status that is the dream of the women out there. Having a husband who has everything did not make her that happy. Still something was missing from her. Freedom. Yes, being the wife of a famous person like Lucas, actually made her feel not free. So far, Lucas has always limited what she will do, including going out of the house.
In addition, she must also be able to maintain an attitude, for the sake of an image that will make her husband\'s good name. Ah, really all these new things made her feel as if she was in the confines of a tiger that she couldn\'t fight. The agreement she made with Lucas was like a television drama that was ready to be consumed by the public at any time.
There was a feeling of happiness in Ellena\'s heart when she remembered the sooner the end of the agreement. However, apart from that, she also felt pain when she thought about it. Sooner or later, she will soon assume the status of a widow. What woman would want something like that to happen in her life. Surely no one expected that, let alone Ellena. However, in fact it has become a consequence that she must bear.
The journey seemed so fast. She woke up from her daydream when Lucas\' private driver said that they had arrived at their destination. Di was immediately rushed, after Andre opened the car door for her.
Ellena immediately approached a man in a black suit who was sitting at a table that had been reserved by her husband.
"Good afternoon. Sorry, are you Mr Juno?" asked Ellena when she was in front of the man.
The man immediately stood up and faced Ellena. "Yes, it is true. Miss Ellena?" He asked for sure.
Ellena smiled as she nodded, responding to the man\'s question. "Please have a seat, Miss."
"Thank you, sorry for making you wait so long." Ellena immediately sat down on the chair opposite the man.
"No problem, Miss. I\'ve only been sitting here for 15 minutes."
Just as Ellena sat on the chair, suddenly the cell phone in her bag vibrated.
"Lucas?" She muttered as she was already staring at his phone screen.
My Crazy Boss :
Elle, looks like I can\'t have lunch with you and Mr. Juno. You don\'t have to wait, because I still have a client to meet and I can\'t promise to catch up with you. You just talk to Mr. Juno according to the concept you want.
Ellena smirked, after reading Lucas\' message.
\'My hopes are too high for him.\' Elena thought at the time. She then put her phone back in her bag.
"I\'m sorry, Sir, it looks like my husband didn\'t come because he had a meeting with a client. So, we should have lunch first, before discussing our work plans. What do you think?" said Ellena, who immediately responded with a warm smile by the 28-year-old man.
"Oh ... well, Miss. I\'m happy," replied Juno who had been watching Ellena\'s face.
Ellena looked awkward facing a man she just met, even more so when she noticed Juno who often glanced at her in the midst of their activities. Ah, it really made her feel uncomfortable and even more awkward.
However, there is no other choice. Because Lucas suddenly canceled plans to follow that place, she was forced to face Juno alone to discuss the work plan.
The atmosphere melted more after lunch ended. Not wanting to mince words, they immediately discussed work. Ellena was quite enthusiastic when Juno showed some designs that had been done by the work team from his company. The design is very unusually good, so it makes Ellena a dilemma which one to choose.
"So, how is it? Can we go directly to the location tomorrow, Sir?" asked Ellena looking so enthusiastic, after seeing and listening to the explanation of some of the designs shown by Juno.
Ellena is not sure which design she will choose. She gave it completely to Juno. Let the man see the condition of the building first, before she makes a choice.
Juno smiled seeing Ellena\'s expression. It turned out that the woman in front of him was quite fun to talk to.
"Okay, Miss. We\'ll talk about it later, because I think I have to ask Mr. Lucas for permission first, if I have to go to the location with Miss Ellena. I still love my job, Miss." Juno chuckled slightly.
Ellena who understood Juno\'s words also laughed. How much influence did Lucas have on the man\'s work?
"I\'m sure Mr. Lucas will not let a wife as beautiful as you go alone with another man," said Juno still chuckling.
"Ah, Mr. Juno is too much," replied Ellena, looking embarrassed.
"But I think so, Miss. Besides, I see Mr. Lucas loves you very much as his wife." Juno replied so sure that he didn\'t know their real life.
Ellena seemed to be forcing a laugh as if to justify Juno\'s words, when in fact she wasn\'t. Even in his heart, he was very sick of hearing Juno say that.
\'Unfortunately your guess is wrong, Mr. Juno. In fact, I\'m not valuable enough to him.\' Ellena muttered.
In the midst of their fun talking, without realizing it there was a pair of eyes that had been watching them with so much focus and enthusiasm. A cynical look and a smirk appeared on the figure\'s face, as if showing the image of hatred that was hidden in her mind.
Within minutes, a glass of drinking water seemed to snatch Ellena\'s body.
