Love Worth Fighting For

282 True story

Zwetta’s presence in Christian’s office made several staff who came to Christian’s office to give reports look confused, Zwetta’s striking appearance was what made the young girls curious. And Christian, who realized that his employees were so curious about Zwetta, just kept quiet and didn’t rebuke them, Christian didn’t want to spoil his perfect morning.

“While Kainer is on leave, you can report your work to me,” Christian says quietly, after signing off some of the proposals the finance staff brought him. “Now you can get on with your work again.”

Without arguing, the two finance staff who were standing in front of Christian rushed out of the room. A bodyguard standing guard in front of Christian’s room then closed the door to Christian’s office again after the two girls came out.

“Sorry to have kept you waiting so long.” Christian walks over to Zwetta who is sitting on the sofa while loosening the tie around his neck. “Normally, they would report everything to Kainer.”

“It’s ok, I don’t mind. Waiting thirty minutes is not a big problem for me,” Zwetta replied quietly without taking her eyes off Christian who had just sat across from her.

Christian smiles. “Thanks, so does that mean we’re friends now?”

“Friend?”

“Yeah, you really don’t want to be friends with me?”

Zwetta frowned. “So far I have no friends from outside, my friends are my work partners.”

.....

Christian looks disappointed, but he quickly regains his composure. Christian realizes that if the girl sitting across from him right now isn’t an ordinary girl, he has to be careful talking to her.

“Do you have many co-workers?”

“Sorry, I can’t answer that kind of question.”

“Why? Is there a rule that prevents you from talking?”

“Of course there is and actually I myself shouldn’t expose my true identity to others, but since you already know from other people so I can’t avoid it,” Zwetta replied flatly. “So since I’m here, quickly tell me what you really want to invite me to eat with. I’m pretty sure your invitation was not just an ordinary dinner.”

Hearing Zwetta’s straight to point words made Christian smile a little, his decision to speak carefully with the girl who didn’t want to show her face was the right one. Zwetta is too smart.

“Honestly I’m very curious about you, Zee. Once I found out if you were a secret agent, I was very curious and wanted to get to know you better.”

“Knowing me closer? For what? Our worlds are so different, it doesn’t feel like any importance for us to know each other, right?” Zwetta immediately broke Christian’s words with his words that were so firm that they could not be denied.

Christian’s face immediately changed, Zwetta’s string of words made him unable to make small talk any longer. After taking a deep breath, Christian finally said what his real goal was to get to know Zwetta more, Zwetta changed her facial expression several times when Christian spoke. She looked so shocked when she heard the chaos that had occurred in the Clarke family.

“But how can you accuse me of being one of Suri’s abductors? Are there any eyewitnesses or...”

“Suri recognized you wrongly,” Christian says quietly.

“Wrong recognize how?”

Christian clenched his fists, talking about Suri made his chest feel so tight. “Suri who was traumatized by Osbert’s treatment thought that you were one of the kidnappers, the psychiatrist who treated Suri at that time said that Suri was so traumatized by the kidnapping. That’s why her memory is messed up.”

“Any girl will definitely get such a big trauma after being kidnapped in a public place like that, especially your sister who incidentally comes from a rich family. I wouldn’t be surprised if the spoiled Miss was so hit,” Zwetta said slowly.

Christian’s heart almost stopped beating when he heard Zwetta’s words, he couldn’t believe he would hear such words from Zwetta. Christian, who had blamed Suri for what happened to him and Elena, suddenly felt guilty for his little sister.

“W..what do you mean?”

Zwetta straightened up, trying to get closer to Christian who had also straightened up.

“I’ve been following all the movements of Osbert and his men since they were in Dubai.”

“Dubai? Have you been to Dubai?”

Zwetta frowned. “Of course I have, Dubai is a middle eastern country that became my bridge when carrying out a mission that...” Zwetta immediately locked her lips tightly, she looked angry at Christian for almost telling a company secret that no one else should know. “Obviously I’ve been to Dubai many times and it’s in that country that Osbert lives on his missions, which is why I followed his movement for several weeks before he finally went to Switzerland to kidnap your sister.”

“Then?”

“And as I said yesterday, I managed to thwart Osbert’s plan in time. And you would be furious if you knew how Suri was when I found her at that time.”

Christian’s eyebrows are raised, his heart beating fast. “What do you mean?”

“At that time Suri’s position was very pathetic, her hands and feet were tied to the bed, her mouth was gagged. Five minutes late, maybe your sister was raped by that bastard Yamada Naoki. For a girl whose life is full of luxury, getting such treatment will definitely be a therapeutic shock for her. I’m sure of it,” Zwetta replied quietly, recalling her first meeting with Suri in the hotel room that Osbert had prepared for Yamada Naoki.

Christian’s eyes immediately filled with tears, Zwetta’s description of Suri’s condition in the hotel room at that time made him so angry and sad. Christian is sure that his sister must have been very scared at that time.

“A..are you sure they haven’t touched it?” Christian asks unconsciously, even though he knows that Suri is still untouched by men after asking one of his personal doctors to secretly do a medical check-up on Suri when he managed to bring Suri home from Auckland.

Zwetta shook her head slowly. “I don’t think they have done anything to your sister, the sign of violence that Suri got at that time seemed to be because she had fought her captors.”

“Oh Suri...”

“So if she gets traumatized I think it’s normal, no one will be okay after experiencing such a horrible kidnapping. I also almost gave up when I became Osbert’s target at that time.”

“What?! You’re also one of the victims of that bastard?” Christian screams loudly. “But you’re all right, aren’t you? I mean, Osbert didn’t manage to get the job done on you, did he?” Christian looks so panicked when he hears the confession of Zwetta who almost became a victim of Osbert.

Zwetta shook her head. “At that time Robin came as a savior god for me, he helped me when I was exhausted after escaping from the pursuit of Osbert and his men.”

“Robin? Who is Robin?”

“My mentor and boss,” Zwetta answered honestly. “Everything I did was on Robin’s orders, including the mission in Zurich at the time. Rubi, Robin’s only sister, committed suicide the night she almost fell victim to the madness of Osbert who had sold it to one of his customers.”
