Trapped in Chain Love
First day

...His gaze was very gentle when he held the woman's hand, very different from Julian's always indifferent gaze when looking at Elise. No, Elise was not envious when she saw the sight.—ia knew for sure who Julian was with right now-...

Slowly the sun began to come out of hiding, changing tasks with the moon that had finished accompanying the night and the morning came to greet every human living on earth.

Fresh and cool is the description of the morning, it is suitable for exercise, let alone jogging in the morning. If in the area of his home first, maybe Elise will see some people who are jogging with their family or their pets, he said, but unfortunately he could not see the scenery because the area where he lived now was a private area so all he could see was the workers of the mansion.

New day, new problems. Maybe that's the slogan that Elise has today because without him knowing Julian has gone to the office without inviting him, whereas yesterday Julian's father had advised to go together because today is the first time Elise worked in the company Eldi group.

But Julian had just left Elise this morning blind.

"I know she doesn't like me, but her actions are childish"

Sighing deeply Elise looked for another way to go to the office. He could not use his car because the vehicle he did not bring to New York, he could not ask help madam Julia to lend him a car—more precisely do not want.

Ask Lucas for help? That's not either. Elise felt uncomfortable because it was troublesome the only person who was kind to her there, so Elise chose to go for a taxi.

He had to walk first to the gate of the mansion before finding the street and ordering a taxi. Although exhausting but he had to do it, all this for the success of his original plan to disrupt the company Eldi Group and Julian, so his fatigue now is nothing.

Luckily Elise got a taxi as soon as she got to the highway. He sat in the passenger seat, telling the taxi driver his destination and then drove across the streets of New York to the Eldi Group branch that Julian runs there.

"We've arrived."

"Thank you"

Elise got out of the taxi immediately after paying for the transportation. Just as he was descending, his eyes saw another car parked in front of his taxi, showing Julian opening the car door to a beautiful woman with a maroon red blazer.

His gaze was very gentle as he held the woman's hand, very different from Julian's always indifferent gaze when looking at Elise. No, Elise was not envious when she saw the sight.—ia knew for sure who Julian was with right now.

Who else does Julian love besides Fiona? It was clear the identity of the woman must be her.

Julian is a romantic. Leaving her fiance to pick up her lover.

Realizing the presence of Elise who had seen them since, Julian glanced at her then his sweet smile had instantly faded away.

'What the hell? I should be the one upset here.'

Julian's change of expression was very obvious, it made Elise's bad mood even worse. He should have been able to control his expression, not having to offend Elise as she was right now.

"Honey, who is it? Do you have a new employee?"

That woman, Fiona she asked Julian while looking at Elise with a curious look. His hands still faithfully wrestled spoiled at Julian, revealing their blatant affection.

"Yes. I just recruited him yesterday,"

Julian's short answer left Elise speechless. Well—what did he expect? Julian would obviously not introduce her as his fiancee in front of his beloved lover. Although for a moment, Elise regretted her brain thinking Julian would consider her a fiance here.

After all he had clearly drawn a dividing line for it, so to be introduced as an employee was fine for him.

Following the plot of Julian's screenplay, Elise smiled faintly at Fiona before introducing herself.

"Good morning Ms. Fiona. I'm Elise Anderson, the new employee at this company"

Elise reached out her hand then was greeted by Fiona with the same smile.

"Happy. The entry requirements to our company are notoriously difficult because we are only looking for selected and talented people" Fiona paused. The smile turned into a small grin, making Elise feel like she was receiving ridicule.

"because you were chosen directly by Julian so your quality is guaranteed huh?"

Elise was still in her place, with the same smile from earlier. Actually she thought Julian's lover would be better than her, but it turns out they're the same.

"Of course, I can guarantee it's Ms. Fiona"

The very confident answer he made to Fiona, made the woman with the maroon red blazer feel ashamed because Elise did not shrink by the ridicule implied in her speech earlier.

Had wanted to reply to Elise's words but Julian interrupted them, making Fiona had to undo her intention to humiliate Elise in front of Julian.

"Enough base. Honey, you go to the office first. I have something to say to Elise,"

Fiona looked at Julian annoyed. His forehead is wrinkled and features a pouty face, typical of people who sulk because Fiona is actually sulking because Julian told him to go alone to the office.

"Speak what? Just talk here, you want to make me jealous?"

Both of his hands clasped Julian's hands tightly. Not wanting to let her man alone with Elise who Fiona knows is her fiance. Fiona is not sure Julian will mess with Elise, because what she fears is Elise who teases Julian.

'Who knew he was throwing a charm on Julian?'

Just thinking about it made Fiona angry. No woman likes to be alone with another woman, Fiona said.

Julian who saw the behavior of his lover was chuckling amusedly, according to him Fiona's angry expression was not scary but even cute.

Releasing Fiona's hand gently, Julian pinched her cheek making Fiona even more pouty.

"You so cute babe, don't put your face like it dong. I'll love you more later,"

"Kiss me"

"Sure"

"Here"

Fiona's fingers show her tiny lips, and Julian does what Fiona wants.

"No satisfaction?"

Fiona touched her lips, feeling back the short kiss they had done in front of Elise earlier. A sweet smile was seen on his face, he nodded briefly then tiptoed to kiss Julian's right cheek.

"Hehe, thank you honey. It's a pity for you"

Releasing her arms around her lover's neck, Fiona walked slowly to the office just as Julian had asked her earlier. From afar Fiona waved her hand at Julian, with a still faithful smile on her face.

Julian smiled back, but a moment later his smile instantly faded as he turned to look at Elise.

"Come in"

Briefly talk. Without waiting for an answer from Elise Julian into his car, of course Elise followed what Julian said earlier.

He sat in the front seat next to Julian who drove his car to the bestmen.

Silence without any conversation. Elise is too lazy to start the conversation or just ask while Julian is too focused on the streets, completely ignoring the Elise entity sitting next to him.

"I'll introduce you as an employee here, no one should know that we're engaged?"

Nodding was the answer Elise gave Julian.

Without any more conversation, Elise walks Julian into the office, not caring about Julian's indifference to her or Fiona's actions, which may be intent on making him jealous.

She just needed to convince herself not to take heart with the attitude of those people, even though deep down Elise felt heartache from being treated that way by Julian.
