Chapter 19
Elano was a little unaccepting of the fact that he was actually in love with Katherine. Their relationship wasn't even that close and only a few times had they walked out to buy something or talk.
How could he fall in love with Katherine? How could the story be like that?
"Master seems to be in love already, otherwise I wouldn't be this worried and agitated every time I come home and can't get a chance to talk to him. You have never been in love before, even the few girls who deliberately paid attention to you during our time in the city you never cared. But here, after only a few days of meeting and getting acquainted, you've already fallen in love?"
Elano sighed, he also didn't know why it was like this because it felt like he didn't do that. He had no intention of deepening his feelings or the like for Katherine, but how could he fall in love and make his own feelings messed up because of his own heart!
"You know how it is when you fall in love, right? We can't grasp and control ourselves for that. I had no intention of doing it or feeling it, but it just came to me. I also don't know how to deal with it because I've never thought about it. But who would have thought that I would have to experience it now and that we could mess up my plans and mission," Elano muttered with a sigh.
"Master can't fall in love with her," his assistant said making Elano sigh. "This is also not the right time for you to think about it. Our projects and businesses are still scattered everywhere and they must be taken care of immediately, life with the current conditions of life and earth must be kept in mind because at any time disaster and destruction can come to us. We haven't gotten the formula we're working on yet so let's not get our minds divided on the real business we have to do now."
Elano knew what the assistant said was right and he had to think several times before doing this. He also could not carelessly fall in love with a woman who would not bring ease to his life. At least they had to be equals if they wanted to get married while in this matter he and Katherine were completely inappropriate because they had nothing in common.
That girl was a smart woman, had a high career and also a huge sense of selfishness and selling out. It would be very difficult for him to have a partner like this, so he should immediately throw this thought away and no longer think about it.
"Let it go if she doesn't want to approach, sir, she's just a girl who doesn't know herself. At least she won't bring anything to Master's life either so there's no need to think about her too much. I know she's already helped and made you where you are now and feel comfortable. But, also think about what we are here and struggling to live here for? You are not intending to find a partner, but intending to gain wealth and prosperity by deliberately joining them and taking advantage.
"You're a big businessman, sir. Falling in love now will only make things more complicated. It won't do to just do this without careful consideration. Enemies can bring you down just like that when they know that you are on the cusp of romance. There are many factors to consider so now throw away those feelings and thoughts and focus on what you want to achieve, then we will definitely succeed and God will also be the greatest person in history."
Elano could only remain silent at the words of his assistant because he didn't know how to process his heart. After all, who could stop him from doing this? He would take care of it himself and use this as an opportunity to get what he wanted all along.
"You rest and go to your room, find another job and don't advise me. Because I know what to do and what not to do. I can control everything even without your direction and help. Leave me alone because I want to be alone."
The assistant knew that it was time for her to leave, to stop bothering her employer and making her uncomfortable. She had also said what she could say and all of this was enough to be a way for her employer to think twice before doing something that was not yet the right thing to do.
Left alone after his assistant left, Elano looked up at the night sky with a straight gaze and looked so tired. It had been a long time since he had been cared for by his parents and family, ever since they died and ever since then he had not received any affection. But when he arrived in this city he was immediately given attention by a girl who was so kind and gentle, showing clearly that the girl was such a good person before but she already felt betrayed because Elano himself did not say anything about his goals and intentions to enter the same organization.
Katherine was a girl who was capable of doing anything she wanted and all of this could obviously be because she was not a stupid girl either. The girls who chased him all this time always gave him attention and stupid things that made him feel uncomfortable, but it was different when he met Katherine who would never care if he was handsome, rich or the like.
Katherine only knew He was a man who was helped by her and needed her help. After that they lived a good life and were quite close amidst the hot and sunny weather in this city.
"I know that you are a good girl, I can even say that you deserve to be my wife and be my partner because you are a great girl. But I can't follow all your wishes. Right now the top priority is my company and my life because all the townspeople depend on and are employees in my business. I can't afford to have everything fall apart and have them lose their jobs too.
"You protect and intend to help while finding a way to save the lives of people in this city so I have to think about the lives of thousands of my employees so that they can eat and live well. I care about my business and you care about your job. The two of us will not be suitable to be together because we are different and it will only create unrest every day in our household."
Elano was a little disappointed, how should he think and behave if he really fell in love with that girl. Just facing her he was already sad, the girl just moved away he was already sad, Katherine did not want to give her attention and warm gaze anymore he was already sad.
He felt like he failed to return the favor even though he basically made the girl help him by sitting on the side of the road in a state of near suffocation. Actually at that time he already knew Katherine was going home from there and passed by him so he used that method to get this girl's attention.
"I tried from the beginning but there was no way to get it. I had to do a lot of things to keep my goal and get what I wanted. I don't know if it will work or not but it will definitely be something important that I have to prioritize first. I can get married to someone else but I can't drop my business just for someone else because this business is something very important to me. My goal is far more important and it is something that is very important to keep all the assets that I have so that they remain fine."
Rising from his seat, Elano had prepared his resolve from the beginning but it still failed and now it was the resolve he had to bob back to get back. She would not let this resolve fall apart and destroy all her dreams. She had already made up her mind to get what she could get and it was something very serious to do.
"I will not stop now, not before I get what I want. That is my goal and it will always be my goal."
Elano sighed, while lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling of her room. Even this house that belonged to Katherine's mother that he was renting, now he had to restrain himself and be completely ignorant. The one who was ignorant now was not Katherine, but he who was also a part of the thing that might hurt the girl.
"I have no choice, I have to do this to survive and become a great person to get what I've been dreaming of for a long time. It's okay to be a bad person once in a while, I still have a place to return to which is my own home. If I become a good person and all of this is destroyed then I will never be able to get the best friends or home again. Enough fooling around, it's time to focus. I can do it..."
