Chapter 214: A voice she will never forget
In a room, that was not so well light, there stood many people. But except for two of them, all the others were bodyguards wearing the same uniforms. The main focus was the two men, who were sitting in front of each other, with a large desk being the only thing that separated him. The room looked like an office, but it was still dim.
At the seat of the boss, which signified the authority, sat a middle aged man in his late forties. He had hazel brown hair and dark eyes, even though in his late forties, that man looked young and handsome. His aura was soft yet it spoke of authority.
Another man was that was sitting in front of him, even though was of the same age and seemed good-looking as well, what made him different from the man that was sitting in front of him, was his dark aura. With emitting a dangerous aura, this person was someone capable of making someone scared out of their wits. After a long silence, this person was the one to break the silence, he said, "Mr. Wang, my offer is not at all bad. I am not a person to say things twice, but I am willing to do it for the first and the last time for showing my sincerity to you," his accent was not that of a pure Chinese, the Russian accent was occupying a great portion of the way he spoke.
As he said these words, a wicked smile formed on his lips.
Mr. Wang, or Wang Fang, smiled on hearing the words, "I am sorry, but as I said, what you are asking for, is my family's treasure. It can't be bought by things like money or any materialistic things. I won't be able to help you with this matter. I apologize," as Wang Fang pushed the file that was kept in front of him on the table, towards that man. As he did this, his eyes swept towards the entrance door that was slightly open.
Cheslav on listening to the words that Wang Fang said, was paying attention to each and every movement of Wang Fang, noticed this, he took back the file and then said, "Then, I think we should end this here. Also, I have heard that you have a lovely daughter, of eighteen years or so? I hope that you can spend more time with her. Who knows what happens next in life?" as his gaze also landed towards the slightly open door.
Wang Fang raised his eyebrow at this, of course, he became uncomfortable when the man in front of him mentioned his daughter, and what he said after that was not advice, rather it could be a warning as well.
Clearing his throat, Wang Fang said, "I will make sure to do so," as unconsiously, his eyes again fell on the door.
Listening to everything, the conversation that was going on, was a young girl, of eighteen years or so, she was sticking close to the wall beside the door. Just like Wang Fang, she had hazel brown hair and dark mesmerizing eyes. Her skin was white, and could not have been any whiter. Her facial expression was as innocent as any other person of her age, like of a delicate flower that had bloomed and was ready to be plucked, but with care.
The eighteen-year-old Wang Yu Yan could not have been any more nervous and scared than to have herself being discussed at a dangerous moment like this. She was also curious to see the face of the man, who was talking about her with her father, but at the same that she was terrified as well, Wang Fang had warned her not to come here, but she, who was stubborn, became curious and dared to disobey her father, now clearly she was had been as dead as the cat the was killed for being too curious.
But something, that left a long-lasting impression on her, was the voice of the man, that Russian accent voice, it was something that she wouldn't forget, and that was for sure.
[Present]
"But it can be that he is not that person, right? It can be someone else as well," said Rey as he broke the silence in the room, and also bought Eliana out of her thoughts.
"No, it's him. I can never forget that voice. Never," Elaina said, as she confirmed it, as soon as Rey raised a probability.
Listening to her, Ethan, Rey, Alex, and Iris, looked at Elaina with worried eyes. All the past that had been hidden deep inside their hearts was coming to the surface, and with the dark memories, it brought the pain, that always demands to be felt.
"It's clear from this recording, and Elaina's confirmation, that Zhen Dong, was the one who planned the accident one year ago, and he is also acquainted with those people," Alex was the one to say these words, as he interrupted the long silence.
"What's next?" Iris asked.
"I am sure, he won't let this matter go. Zhen Dong is the only one who can help us to reach him. Keep tracking his movements," Elaina said with an indifferent expression.
"Copy that," Ethan said.
RING RING
Suddenly, Elaina's phone ranged. It was from Li Wei.
'Why is he calling now?' Elaina thought as she picked up the call.
"What is it?" Elaina asked as the call connected.
"I am at the basement of the GlobalMed Healthcare, come down, it's urgent," the voice was of Li Wei was heard.
"I am busy right now. I'll talk to you once, I am free," Elaina said as she turned around and walked out of the room, so as to prevent the people present in the room, to hear the contents, or else she will be bombarded with questions.
"Do you want me to come up?" Li Wei said.
"Do whatever you want," Eliana answered with an unbothered tone.
"Fine, as you wish. Well it's only good, as your husband, it's only right for me to visit my wife at her workplace, isn't it? I am coming then."
"You won't do anything like that," Elaina said, as she knew that Li Wei won't do it because that way it would break the rules of the contract in between them.
"And why do you think so?"
"Why? If you disclose that we are married in public, then you will violate the terms of the contract," Elaina answered, confidently.
"Do I care?" Li Wei said with an unbothered voice.
Elaina: "....."
"Fine!" Elaina said as she killed Li Wei for nth time in her mind.
It's not because Elaina was afraid of the violation of the contract, but the moment the public knows of their marriage, the news will spread like wildfire, and then even after the divorce between them, it will be difficult to control the aftermath.
Coming back to the meeting room, Elaina said, "I'll be back after some time. Something came up," and she went out of the room.
Everyone else in the room, were least surprised, all of them knew, that it was Li Wei. Seeing her leave, they continued their work again.
Meanwhile, Elaina had already reached the basement of the building, it didn't take her long to find Li Wei's car, being parked.
Knocking at the window of the driver seat, Elaina waited for Li Wei to roll the window down, but instead of that, the sound of the car door being unlocked came to her ears, accompanied by Li Wei's voice.
"Get in."
Elaina waited for a moment and then decided to get in the car.
"Why?" she asked, as she found Li Wei all in a formal suit beside her, with his shades on.
KHATCHA
The sound of the door being locked came as soon as Elaina entered the car. "Wait, why? Open the car!" Elaina said as she noticed that her door was locked.
"Nope, the car will be opening only when we reach the restaurent," Li Wei said as he started the car.
"Huh?! Why the restaurant?" Elaina asked.
"Have lunch with me," Li Wei said. "But it is not the time for lunch yet," Elaina said.
"I don't care. I am hungry, eat with me," Li Wei as they were already halfway of their journey.
"But I am not hungry!" Elaina snapped back.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
Elaina: "..."
Li Wei: "..."
"You are a human, remain a human. Do not try to be an alien who does not gets hungry," Li Wei said as Elaina's cheeks started to get red. It was so embarrassing for Elaina. Her stomach had to grumble at this moment!
From that moment on, Elaina decided to shut her mouth, if she didn't want anymore embarrassment. In five minutes, they reached their destination. Li Wei got out of the car first, and going to Elaina's side, he opened the door for her.
Elaina thanked him for this and got out of the car, they stood in front of the same restaurant where they had signed the deal of their contract marriage.
