All About El (Tarnished Sanctity)

23. Dilemma ...

Tara's at the office. He still imagined the sad face of El and the sound of his tears. Tara could see the frail figure of the poor girl.

"El, just be patient for a little while longer you are in a place that should not be" said Tara.

He resumed his work which had been delayed because he had received news from Daniel, if aunt Karin had died and was already in the funeral home.

Tara seemed serious about finishing her job. He had arranged for Kai to meet with his client in one of the luxury restaurants.

After arranging Kai's meeting, Tara rushed into the CEO's office. But the owner of the room has not revealed the trunk of his nose.

Lazy to wait, Tara finally decided to get out of the room. When he was outside the room, Kai had just arrived.

"Wah Mr. CEO, today's tumben is late when soon you have to meet with clients" said Tara in a joking tone.

"So, by the way, it's normal, Tara. Oh yeah, did Bella have the files ready that I wanted to bring?"

Tara just shrugged her shoulders.

"If that's the case, Bella's business isn't mine. You ask him yourself, anyways he is the one who often accompanies you to meet clients," replied Tara casually.

"Hm."

Afterwards, Kai meets Bella in her study next to Tara's workspace.

"Bel, have you prepared the file that we'll be carrying for a while?" ask Kai.

"Yes sir, I have everything ready. I have been waiting for the arrival of my father. After this we directly meet the client at the restaurant xxxx.

"OKs. Then we leave now," Kai said, taking Bella with him.

"Good, sir."

Kai and Bella both come out of the room and head for the elevator that will take them downstairs.

Meanwhile, Tara who still feels at home in her room only occasionally smokes cigarettes that are in between her fingers.

He grabbed his phone and opened his photo gallery. He kept smiling looking at the photo of his friendship with Clara, the woman who had filled his heart the last five years.

I don't know what our relationship will look like, Ra. I feel like my heart is still stuck with something.

Tara continued to slide the flat object screen, until finally she stared at the photo of her togetherness with El. The photo he captured when he first met at the nightclub where the poor girl worked.

This girl, for some reason when I was with her, I felt very comfortable and could make my mood warm. I even fear his loss.

Tara continues to rub El's face on her phone screen. Staring at the sweet smile and the poor girl's embrace.

Drrttt ... drrtt ..

His phone shook and Daniel's contact name appeared on his phone screen.

Instantly, Tara's smile that had continued to expand on her handsome face, vanished just like that. He swiped the green button to answer Daniel's call.

"Yes, hello Daniel."

"I'm in the office. You better get here soon. I made sure Kai was in that restaurant with his client."

"Good ... I'll get there right now."

Tut .. tut ...

Tara disconnects the phone call. He got out of his chair and out of his room.

"Hopefully Clara didn't look for me here. I don't know what Kai will tell him later" he muttered.

As soon as her phone died, Tara started driving her car across the city road that had begun to be crowded by other public vehicles.

As a result of being stuck in traffic, Tara was forced to take a little while to arrive at his office.

A few minutes later after arriving at his office, Tara approached a special elevator to take him up to the floor where his room and Daniel were.

Meanwhile, Daniel, who had been waiting for Tara's arrival, was just staring out the window.

"And?" tara then patted her assistant on the shoulder.

"Ah Tara, have you come? We'll just sit on the couch" Daniel said.

Tara just nodded then walked up to the sofa and landed her butt.

"What's so important you want to talk to me about?" daniel asked and sat down on the single sofa.

"And, I want you to do a sale and purchase of El's house. Just find El an apartment unit for his residence later after he is free. I don't think El would have been safe if he had stayed there" explained Tara.

"you mean? We bought that house?!" daniel asked a little surprised.

"Yes, but on behalf of someone else. Anyway the name of anyone who matters the house status has been sold," Tara's order does not want to be denied.

"But ..... what will we tell him later after he finds out his house has been sold?"

"You take it easy and I'll talk to El. He'll listen to me. I don't want Kai to keep bothering her" Tara explained, leaning on her back on the sofa.

Tara sighed then continued her sentence.

"So when I left the office, Kai secretly followed me all the way to Aunt Karin's house. Even when we went to the funeral she was still following us" Tara said, closing her eyes.

Daniel only got a beard and rubbed his chin.

Silence .... silence ... silence ....

Daniel finally reopened his voice.

"Tara, I really hope that you will soon sit in your big chair" Daniel said.

Tara was silent and still seemed to be leaning her head on the back of the sofa.

"I'm worried Dan, El will stay away from me if he knows who I really am" Tara replied.

"Then?"

"El keeps a great distance from people like me. Look Kai, El is more willing to serve his sentence just because he does not want to be disturbed by it. She loves freedom" Tara explained.

"What about your relationship with Clara?"

"Either Dan, honestly I was also confused" said Tara then lowered his head.

The room went back to silence before Tara finally got out of her seat and then stepped her foot toward the door of Daniel's room.

Shortly after being in her room, Tara stood up and stared out the window. He kept watching the tall buildings in the city.

"El and Clara, two choices that made me last" whispered Tara. "But my heart and my feelings can't lie if I'm very comfortable with El. God, do me a favor" said Tara a little frustrated as she restored her hair.

Tara approached her seat of greatness and sat herself on the soft object. He leaned his back and head against the back of the chair while closing his eyes.

I don't know what Tara thinks.😅😅😅
