Marriage Wounds

5. Company Party

Elijah was sculpting in front of a mirror that showed himself wearing a sleeveless maroon-red evening dress with a length below the knee. She doesn't like this type of clothing. But because of the celebration of the anniversary of the Romanov company forced Elijah to wear it. Moreover, the dress was Feodora's delivery, Elijah did not want to disappoint the great mistress who had always loved him.

"What do you think, baby?" there was a soft voice of Lucia behind him.

"I don't believe I wear clothes like this ma."

Lucia turned Elijah's body and looked at him in the shade.

"Look baby, starting today you should start getting used to wearing clothes like this because after marriage there will be many official events that you have to attend with Yuri."

Elijah's expression became sad. Hearing Lucia's remark she could conclude that in a moment she would have to say goodbye to her torn jeans and over-size t-shirt.

"Not to think about it, now let's go down. Your husband's candidate has already picked you up."

"Wouldn't El come with mom and dad? "

"No dear, you will come with Yuri."

"May El have a car with papa and mama? "

"No, I can't."

Lucia immediately pulled Elijah's hand out of the room. Up below Elijah saw Yuri talking to Mateo. Seeing that Elijah had come down, they immediately stood up and walked out to depart.

Seeing that Mateo and Lucia had gotten into Mateo's family car, Elijah reflexively approached and was about to enter. But Yuri's cold voice made her undo the intention.

"Don't act El, if you don't want your family to be ashamed."

Elijah turned around and saw Yuri's driver open the door and Yuri gestured for him to get into the car immediately. Hearing that with his head bowed Elijah immediately entered in following Yuri who was sitting next to him.

Along the way neither Yuri nor Elijah spoke to each other. Elijah chose to look straight ahead while Yuri was busy with her ipad. Not until an hour finally they arrived at the hotel yard where the party was crowded with invited guests and journalists who came.

"See your attitude during the party! " yuri said before the driver opened the car door. As soon as they descended Yuri immediately gave her arm to be embraced by Elijah. Understanding Yuri's intentions, Elijah immediately embraces Yuri's burly arms and straightens his face as they enter the hotel lobby. Seeing Elijah's attitude, Yuri smiled slightly in satisfaction.The reporters immediately captured the moment of the Romanov crown prince who came with a girl. They were only given the opportunity to take photos outside without an interview and enter the room.

As soon as he arrived at the hotel hall, it was seen that Lucky was in talks with his business partner. While Mariana is seen sitting talking to Malika who that night looks sexy and beautiful.

Mateo and Lucia, who are walking behind Elijah, let go of his hand, as Mateo approaches Lucky and prepares behind him in case Lucky is needed.

Yuri, Elijah and Lucia stepped closer to the table where Mariana was sitting.

"Good night madam." greet Lucia and Elijah together with Mariana.

Yuri immediately pulled out a chair to seat Lucia and Elijah, before finally pulling a chair for herself.

" Thank you." said Elijah sincerely.

Malika who had seen Yuri's arrival did not take her eyes off Yuri's face at all. This made Elijah a little disturbed. Not long seen the arrival of Adrian and Feodora.

"Well, you are beautiful, dear." praised Feodora to Elijah. "It's my guess that this dress is suitable for El." continued Feodora who spoke to Adrian.

"Ah yes..I agree with you." replied Adrian.

"Good night grandma and grandpa." greet Elijah who immediately stood up and hugged Feodora and Adrian in turn.

"Good night, big lady and big lord." Lucia also stood up and greeted Feodora and Adrian.

"Good night Lucia." Feodora replied as she looked around and her eyes narrowed as soon as she saw Malika sitting at the nuclear family table. He knew who the girl was and didn't like her.

"Ah Miss Malika, you seem to have been wrongly seated" Feodora said with an intimidating look. "This table is exclusively for the Romanovs."

Malika who was full of confidence because she was sitting near Mariana immediately looked down embarrassed with a red face and clenched her hands. He did not expect that Feodora would say that in front of Yuri.

"But ma'am... " Mariana tried to defend Malika and felt it was natural for Malika to sit at a table with them.

"Mariana may be your brother's son, but this is not the place. Moreover, he looked at the face of the future husband of people until drooling. How humiliating!" Feodora cuts Mariana's words with a spicy speech. Adrian who had memorized the spicy mouth of his wife just stroked Feodora's shoulder. "What are you waiting for Miss Malika? Leave this table immediately! "

Malika immediately got up and walked with her face down because she was very embarrassed to be kicked out by Feodora. But he glanced at Elijah.

Elijah who saw the look in Malika's eyes felt strange because he felt Elijah did not like it.

After Feodora, Adrian sat down not long after Lucky also came to join as the show was about to begin. A series of events passed by with great fanfare until it arrived when Lucky delivered his speech. Lucky came to the stage with Mariana, after delivering some important things Lucky made a statement that made a scene for the invitees. Lucky asks Yuri and Elijah to join him. After Yuri and Elijah join, Lucky introduces Elijah as a young Romanov and Lucky will retire soon after Yuri marries and hands over the entire company to Yuri.

Lucky's statement that Elijah is a young Romanov lady candidate made the girls heartbroken. Although Yuri did not live in this country but they knew who Yuri was from the news. Yuri is not only the crown prince of Romanov but he is also a handsome young man and has never been seen holding a woman until Lucky's statement answers the question of why all this time he himself. Apparently because it has been betrothed from a small.

Malika who sits in the corner of the room is envious and does not like Elijah who he thinks is lucky even though only the adopted son of Lucky's assistant. She goes to Mariana and wishes her luck.

"Wow look who is sitting here." there came the voice of a young woman who arrived - arriving already in front of him with a smile full of ridicule.

"It's none of your business."
