All About El (Tarnished Sanctity)

34. Meet Mike and Lois

Her afternoon......

El looks neat and elegant with a vintage blouse suit combined with a knee-length plisket skirt.

As promised, he will meet Lois and Mike at one of the fancy restaurants, where they used to eat together.

After wearing sneaker shoes and taking his handbag, he left his apartment and waited for an online taxi that had been ordered through the application.

"I'm sorry, Lois, Mike. Yesterday I did not keep my promise, but today we can share as much as possible," El said then chuckled.

Not long after, the taxi arrived.

"Sir Ellin Davina, huh?" ask the taxi driver.

"Yes Mas" replied El with a smile and opened the car door.

"Mas, to the restaurant xxx yes," pinta El friendly.

"Yes, Mother."

Along the way, El just plays his phone while replying to a message from Lois.

After a few minutes, the taxi that drove him arrived at Restaurant xxx.

"Mas, thank you, I paid the fee through the application" he explained with a smile.

"Yes, Mother."

After that El got off the taxi online while tidying up his long hair.

"From here, I'd like to take Lois to the salon. All want a haircut. Once asked to be paid with him is okay, yes? In ... she is a dirty girl," he said while chuckling.

El took his foot into the restaurant. From a distance, Lois appeared to wave her hand at him.

"Relove, Lois ... Sorry, I've kept you waiting." He took the two in turn.

"It's okay, El. For your sake we don't matter" said Mike and smiled.

"Thanks my Dear."

"El, let's order a meal first, yeah. After that, I'd like to hear an explanation from you" Mike asked as he stroked El's fingers.

El just nodded.

At one of the tables not too far away from El's place. Looks like Tara and Kai just finished meeting a client.

They sit back and enjoy coffee. Ever since El walked into that restaurant, Kai just kept staring at her. Tara just looked relaxed and smiling.

"Tara, that's right, doctor Mike, the director and owner of City Hospital A," asked Kai curiously.

"Hmm, then why?" tara asked and sipped her coffee.

Kai frowned.

"Who's the girl next to him?" ask Kai again.

"His servant and a doctor too" Tara answered and smoked the cigarette she had just burned.

Kai was just a mangosteen but felt confused.

Kai smiled sinisterly then looked at Tara who looked relaxed and occasionally turned to look at El.

"Tara."

"Hm."

"See El looks different than the clothes he wears? Like a career woman, it looks graceful and elegant." Unknowingly Kai praised. He kept looking at her who seemed to be chatting and occasionally smiled towards Mike and Lois.

Tara just smiled cynically and deeply.

She's a career woman, if it wasn't for you.

"Then?"

"Are you not jealous?"

Tara just shook her head.

"Oh yeah, are you and El really that close? You spent all day together." It's a little kepo.

"If so, why? I'm suspicious, you might as well like it. I've told you, if LOVE and HATE are very related and the difference is only small" he recalled.

Kai was silent but looked annoyed.

"I told you, if you like it, we have to compete in a healthy way, not in a sneaky way." Tara grinned. "El is not a conquered woman, like the woman who used to come into your arms by herself" he continued. "If you think El is like that, you're wrong. For him money is not everything" he concluded.

Kai only silenced but his eyes continued to point towards El.

"Well, what makes El hate you? From the beginning you've been rude and arrogant to her and even threatened her. You really robbed him of his freedom and made him suffer. Is that worth it?" Tara reminded Kai of the incident.

Again Kai can only be silenced and trapped.

"Oh yes, after this your schedule is empty. So .. I'd like to join El and Dr. Mike. I hope you're not interrupting my fun with El." He deliberately provoked Kai's emotions.

"I will not allow!! This is an order from your superiors and not as a best friend!!!!" firmly Kai with a loud voice because of the emotion.

"If I don't obey? Are you going to cut my pay? Or just fire me?" he asked while holding back laughter looking at Kai's expression that already looked angry and emotional.

"I told you this is an order from your boss!! We're back at the office now!!" stern emotions then hit the table.

Kai was the center of attention at restaurants including El, Mike and Lois.

"That's right, Master Kai and his assistant? But why does he look angry" Mike said confusedly.

El and Lois just shrugged her shoulders while continuing to eat her.

It must be Tara who made him emotional.

Tara looks angry at the girl and gives her a code to call her later.

"Ok, it's good that we go back to the office now," Tara said as she folded her lips holding back a laugh.

Before getting out of his seat, Kai turned to look at El who was staring at him.

The girl immediately rolled her lazy eyeball and resumed eating.

For some reason, El feels strange every time Kai looks at her especially when touching her.

El can feel a different touch. Although Tara often hugs and kisses her, she can feel it is a touch and a kiss of affection. Different from the touch of Kai who is so passionate. But when El stared at Kai's hazel bead deeply he felt strange.

El rubbed his neck. Especially when hearing Kai's heavy voice when talking to him and hugging him. The crossbreed man seemed to want to have it.

"El, what's wrong?" ask Mike.

El just shook his head and rubbed his lips with a tissue.

"I'm done."

"El, now you can explain, why you disappeared, failed graduation and was forced in DO. It's a pity that you're a student of secrecy?"

El sighed then looked at Lois and Mike alternately. His eyes returned to tears.

"El, are you okay?" asked Lois and stroked her friend's shoulder.

"Hm." He nodded.

"Tell Mike everything. I'm sure after this he'll help you."

El nodded again then grasped the fingers of the lecturer and his co-worker at the hospital at that time. He began to tell me everything without anyone covering it up.

"Why didn't you call me back then El? I could've delayed and helped you" Mike said, wiping away the girl's tears.

"I didn't have time Mike. At the time, I was just about to leave for the hospital. All I carry is clothes on the body" he explained, sobbing.

"Patience, you can re-register. I'm still teaching at that college" Mike said, clapping his hand.

"Five more months El. Be patient." Lois chimed.

"Yes, thanks Mike, Lois, you guys are really good friends. Oh yeah, Mike, how's your son Bryan doing?"

"Bryan is currently following his mother. You know for yourself after parting ways, Sarah insists on taking her to live abroad," explained Mike with a sigh.

"Mike, don't worry, there are still many girls who want to be your wife. No need to go far, he is here really," said El and then smiled ignorantly.

"Who?" ask Mike and Lois simultaneously.

"Lois, she is suitable to be your wife, let alone you both work in the same hospital and can spend time together," said El while chuckling.

"Houhuk .. uhuuk .. uhuuk ..." Lois choked on her drink.

"Lois, what's wrong with you? Slowly dong drank," said El and then chuckled.

"Mike, thank you for lunch. I'm waiting for the information from you my dear. Don't forget to save my new phone number, "the message before getting into Lois' car.

Mike just nodded then blinked his eyes while smiling.

"So ... El, next location?" ask Lois who started driving her car.

"To the salon but you pay can ya?" persuade El then cengengesan.

"Huh!! you are this, really yes."

"Once in a while you pay nothing Dear. Counting has been two years, we did not go to the salon together. I want to trim my hair."

"But El, what a pity if you trim your hair."

"It's okay, Lois. Count shit hahaha."

Soon they arrived at Lois' salon.

"El .. I all care, if you're done, to the spa room only. I'm waiting for ya."

"Ok Dear."

While in Kai's office ......

He still looks upset with Tara's words since at the restaurant.

While Tara instead looks relaxed while smiling satisfied because it managed to make Kai provoked emotions.

"This is not how Kai is. Surely he was really upset earlier," muttered Tara as she stared at the photo of El on her phone screen.

Tara closed her eyes while turning her chair and imagined the moment of yesterday while at the Resort.

He was imagining a moment of his friendship with the girl. Suddenly, he felt someone sitting on his lap wrapping his hands around his neck.

"Darling ... yesterday you went anywhere? Even your phone is not active. I went to the apartment, you didn't exist either. When he contacted Kai, he didn't know where you were either. Even last night at the club, you didn't exist either" he said at length.

Tara opened her eyes and looked at Clara.

"Sorry baby, yesterday I had a family event in L City," he lied casually.

"Why not bring me? For five years we've been dating, you haven't introduced me to your parents" she added, then kissed Tara's lips.

"It's not yet time, dear" whispered Tara.
