Not a MISTRESS

Let go

The meeting at a meeting party between leaders, business and young entrepreneurs has brought Elora and Robert together. But in an unexpected meeting it also makes the relationship between the two become colder.

Merry is a business friend and Max's best friend. The thing that Merry had talked to Max was certainly a consideration for Max, because he also knew Elora well enough.

•••

"Company S"

"Elora, how could you possibly do such a bad thing." muttered Max in his mind who still did not believe in all of Merry's words.

Knocks...Knocks...Knocks...

"Excuse me Mr. Max, I'm delivering all the files you've requested." Said Ell while putting a stack of his files on Max's desk.

"Yes, just put it down." said Max in a flat tone and unlike his usual self.

After some time passed, Max was more busy with meetings. In every meeting Max was always accompanied by Elora, but this time everything was quite different. Max is cold enough, after what Merry told him about Elora.

"Elora, after your meeting please go home first!" max said in a flat tone, and not like the warm Max as usual.

"Well, Max." Ell answered briefly, and Ell began to notice the distance between herself and Max.

Drrtt... "Elora, next week there will be an important meeting, so please prepare all the big boss needs well!! James Senior."

Hmpp.. "it looks like this time there will be a meeting outside the city. ." Ell muttered as he read the contents of a short message from James.

•••

"Everything I have personally contacted means we have to prepare for our big event.---" Max said, announcing the company's big event.

"Wahh another event? it's gonna be a lot of trouble, yeah---"

The clerics were boisterous, but Ell still looked calm. Now he is only focused on his work career, without worrying about anything else.

"James, how's your observation been?" max asked in his private room.

"Elora. she's fine, '" James replied briefly.

"How short is your answer Jems!!" mengukas Max with facial features that are still not satisfied with the answer.

"Yes boss! Elora remained as usual, even she was now quite cold."

"Cold!!" crush Max with a look of wonder and curiosity.

"Yes, I don't think Ell is what she used to be. I don't know why he's turning cold like that."

"Jems, please investigate yah!!"

"Why Max? why not just you!" hatch Jems.

"Wahh... You've now started to dare well!" Max embraces Jems as usual when they're out of the office.

Aish, "Max!! you better be honest with how you feel! don't make Ell snatch someone else." Jems rushed out of Max's room while chuckling.

"You Jems, watch out!!

Hmmp. "have I been too cold to Elora.." muttered Max, thinking of something.

"Bye bye everyone.. See you Monday..--"

The atmosphere was crowded at the return of the office where Ell worked.

Elora looked more silent, not wanting to interact much. Even free time is spent writing novels, and doing activities that keep him busy.

***

"Elora's apartment"

Still busy in front of his laptop screen, even throughout the weekend Ell was still busy with the deadline of his novel scripts.

Drrttt... New message coming in!!

Hmpp, "who's been sending me messages since.." Ell muttered in a slightly irritated tone.

"Elora, tonight I want to take you out to dinner! so I hope you're willing," Mr. Maxwells.

"Sir Max?" muttered Ell who actually did not agree with Max's offer, but because Max was his superior, it made Ell obey and consider it only as a job relationship.

It's time for Ell to go with Max...

Drrtt. boss Maxwell called...

”Iya hello sir! okay, I'll be heading to loby.” soon

Ell, walk to the main loby and go to see Max who is waiting for him.

"Please enter Ell.." said Max, while opening the door of his bmw car.

"Sir Max, I have brought the minutes that we will discuss at the meeting later."

"Notulence!! we're going to have Elora Shin's dinner! not a meeting." Max chuckles.

"Ohh no problem, because all I know of my position is a secretary father." Tukas Ell with a fairly cold tone, suddenly made the atmosphere become silent for a moment.

***

"Hallo Elora, Max! thank you for your presence!"

"Yes Merry, we've been friends for a long time so I should've taken my time." Tukas Max upon arrival at the party site.

Not only Merry, Robert also attended the meeting that night.

Elora simply fell silent and kept trying to act as if everything was fine.

"Elora, you please eat as much, because these are all expensive foods." Tukas Merry with his haughty tone.

"Thank you Merry, I will definitely not waste this sumptuous dinner!" Reply Ell with a ketus.

"Bro Robert, you're very lucky to have Miss Merry. This Merry is an only child and also will not bother if the business is married and others." said Max while laughing with Merry.

"Ohh yeah, of course I'm very lucky to get Merry!" knock Robert off and right in front of Ell.

Ell still did not want to say much, and Robert deliberately looked at Ell with a smile and sharp gaze.

"Well, my envious couple.then when will you have your wedding??" ask Max.

"Ohh we are soon to be married, Elora you must bring a special gift well!" merry said while embracing Robert so affectionately.

When he saw the scene, Ell could only be more heartened to accept the bitter and stifling reality.

"Yes Merry, I will definitely find you and Robert a special gift." Tukas Sunny with a heart full of grief but trying to hide.

Occasionally Ell steals his eyes on Robert, and Robert does the opposite.

"Darling, I want our honeymoon to Paris well." Merry said spoiledly to Robert.

"Dear, that's a small thing" Robert replied as he rubbed Merry's head in a friendly manner, making Ell increasingly unable to see the scene.

"You're a romantic couple, right Elora?" max said while patting Ell's shoulder.

"Oh yeah, very romantic and harmonious." Reply El with a face that has begun to look sad, while Robert secretly continues to pay attention to Ell's facial expression.

"Excuse me, I'm going to go to the toilet first because there's a sudden call." Ell said while holding his phone.

Shortly after being in the women's toilet, Ell walked slowly toward the dining table, but Ell had to hear something that hurt her enough.

"Oh ahahah... Merry Merry, a woman like Elora that I can easily get! but if I do, I won't need it right away, it won't be exciting..." Max said proudly and cackled.

"So you really don't like Elora?" ask Merry.

"Hmm, how do I answer it! I think Elora's interesting but I still want to play with her feelings for a long time..."

"Excuse me everyone, sorry I'm old." Ell said in the middle of their conversation, then with a flat expression, Ell acted as if she had never heard anything.

"So that's the case Max is?" robert said in the middle of the momentary silence, but Max only remained silent.

"Wahh I seem to have fallen far behind with your rumors?" muk Sunny with a fake smile.

"Sir Max, it's been quite a night, it looks like I have to go home first."

"Why Ell, isn't tomorrow a weekend??"

"But since then we only talk about topics that have nothing to do with work, is not my position to accompany the father is as a secretary."

"What do you mean Ell? I'm asking you, because I want you to get to know my friends better."

"Ohh so! what do your friends have to do with me?" hatch Ell with a ketus but smooth.

"You don't like getting to know my friends Ell?" max asked in a whispering voice.

"Sorry sir, all I know is to work not to play games or anything with you!"

"What do you mean, Ell??" ask Max again in a whisper.

"Already sir, I have to go home immediately, because the file you asked for must be resolved immediately" Ell stood in the middle of the dinner.

"Merry thank you ats your invitation, I'm so honored, and hopefully get married soon yah!" said Ell, then left without looking at her.

"Why don't you guys go home together? you are not serious about Elora!!" merry said, and Robert could only continue to hold back his anger over Max's statements regarding Ell.

"Max, if you don't intend to be serious, it's better not to play with women's feelings!" Strictly Robert moments after the departure of Ell, and Merry who was going to the toilet.

"I don't mean to play Elora, I'm serious." Tukas Max with a serious face.

"But still you've said something outrageous about Elora.."

"Why Robert! since when do you care more about women? didn't you just love one woman, and now there's Merry isn't there?"

"ahh of course, but I'm just reminding you!"

"Yes, thank you for your warning, but it turns out I'm not wrong, you really still haven't moved on from Elora!!

"What do you mean Max!!" robert was shocked to hear this statement.
