Chapter 291
291 Breakfast together
Zwetta, who had hoped to enjoy her breakfast in peace, immediately lost her appetite when she saw Christian Clarke, the man she wanted so badly to avoid, sitting quietly in the empty hotel restaurant. Zwetta is sure that Christian is fully responsible for that.
“It’s not good to skip breakfast.” Seeing Zwetta want to cancel her intention to enter the restaurant through the large door glass in front of her, Christian immediately reacted.
Realizing that Christian was talking to her, Zwetta then turned her body back to look at Christian who was sitting with her back to her. “My hunger just disappeared.”
Christian flashes a smile, he slowly puts the teacup on the table and gets up from the chair where he’s been sitting for almost an hour. Christian, who didn’t sleep all night, was wearing sunglasses to disguise the dark circles that now adorn his eyes. Without removing his glasses, Christian walks over to Zwetta who is crossing her arms across her chest in a markedly defiant manner.
“You certainly won’t let me wait for nothing, will you?”
“Who asked you to wait? Nothing, right?” Zwetta asked ruthlessly. “And why do you still dare to meet me? You can’t forget what I said last night, can you?” Zwetta reminds Christian not to see her again, as compensation for her willingness to be escorted home by Christian to the hotel.
Christian smiles. “But you seem to have forgotten one thing, Miss Zwetta.”
Zwetta raised one eyebrow. “Forget?”
“Yes, you forgot that this hotel is a public facility that anyone with money can visit. So there is no problem if I come to this place,” Christian said with a sly tongue, Christian is really very good at talking. Through his sunglasses, Christian stares at Zwetta with longing eyes. Christian is seeing Elena in Zwetta.
.....
“You’re out of your mind, apparently.”
“You do and you know that well too, don’t you?”
Zwetta locked her lips, she was looking for a way to avoid that shameless Christian. Talking with a man who is very smart and powerful like Christian Clarke is not an easy thing for Zwetta, Zwetta even prefers to face a hundred men like Osbert right now than having to argue with Christian Clarke who turns out to have a lot of extraordinary achievements that are very difficult. rivaled by its business rivals.
“What do you want?” Zwetta asked bluntly.
“Eat with me, don’t waste my two hours of waiting.”
Zwetta narrowed her eyes. “No one asked you to wait.”
“There really isn’t one.” Christian responds to Zwetta’s words with a smile that continues to grow on his face. “But it wouldn’t hurt if I took you out for breakfast, would it?”
Zwetta huffed in annoyance, this was the first time she had met someone as shameless as Christian. Not wanting to be the center of attention, Zwetta then rushed into the empty restaurant. Christian’s smile widens when he sees Zwetta sitting not far from where he is sitting.
After Christian sat back down, two waiters who had been on standby waiting for orders rushed over to Christian and Zwetta. The two of them gave Christian and Zwetta menu books at the same time and patiently waited for the orders that the two exclusive guests had asked for.
“What do you want to eat?” Christian asked quietly to Zwetta who was just flipping through the menu book in front of him.
Zwetta haughtily lifts her head, giving Christian a scornful look.
“I’m not someone who was born with a diamond spoon in my mouth, so I can’t choose fancy food like this,” Zwetta said sarcastically. “So you don’t have to ask me that kind of question because you already know the answer yourself.”
Zwetta’s words made the smile on Christian’s face widen. “Okay then, I’ll order the same menu with me.”
After saying that, Christian then mentioned several menus that sounded so foreign to Zwetta’s ears, the breakfast menu which was so simple really was nothing compared to the menu that Christian ordered for them at this time.
The situation became awkward again after the two waiters left, Zwetta, who was forced to sit in front of Christian at this time, chose to turn her face to look at the bartender’s table who was busy making the drinks Christian ordered.
“It’s not just you, Zee. I’m also very angry with myself,” Christian says quietly, removing the sunglasses that have been protecting his dark eyes from everyone. “I am a person who is very angry and sorry for the stupidity I have done to Elena, if only at that time I was not blinded by uncontrolled anger maybe all of this would never have happened. I will not lose Elena, Elena will also not lose her parents in such a tragic way.”
Zwetta looked back at Christian, she was surprised when she saw how sad and pale Christian’s face was now. Without even asking Zwetta knew that the man sitting in front of her at this time was very sleep deprived.
“I’m really very sorry, if I could turn back time I would have done it long ago.”
“What do you regret?” Zwetta asked quietly.
Christian intertwined his fingers on the table. “Everyone, I’m sorry that I followed my ego at that time. I was wracked with guilt for years because Suri disappeared then took all my anger out on Elena, a person who had absolutely nothing to do with this matter. At that time I was too blinded by my affection I’m overreacting to Suri, I thought that Suri had suffered so much then made Elena the target of my anger.”
Christian stopped his words when he felt Zwetta’s emotional changes that were so readable by him, it was clear that Zwetta was very angry with the words he just said.
“Coward,” Zwetta muttered hoarsely. “You are targeting innocent people for your inability to control your excessive guilt.”
“I’m sorry, Zee.”
“And if only Kainer hadn’t brought the news, it’s possible that your spoiled sister and all of you would still accuse Elena Wilson of being a criminal, wouldn’t they?”
Christian’s chest felt so tight because of Zwetta’s words, even though what Zwetta said was true but he still felt so sick when he heard those words.
“You all are truly terrible, the big names and wealth you have is not worth the Conscience you have. Right now I really feel sorry for Elena Wilson, that girl must have gone through her days crying. I really can’t imagine how devastated Elena Wilson was when she was barred from attending her own parents’ funeral at that time...”
