Chapter 36: She actually forgot about him
“President, thank you for sending me to the hospital, I dare not bother the president again, I can take a taxi back by myself.” I went to the hospital, Elena said nothing but refused to take Fred Garner’s limousine, at first she was forced by him to come to the hospital is no way, since now the doctor said it is fine, then she can go back by herself, who let Fred Garner not let her go to work.
“Are you afraid I’ll eat you, or do you have some secret you don’t want me to know.” Fred Garner is also stubborn, he decided to send Elena back anyway, for one thing, she is now in this condition taking a cab he does not feel comfortable, and secondly, to explore the road, so that the next time you go also convenient.
“I can hide what secret, the president day to day, the company still has a lot of things waiting for you to deal with, how can I delay the president’s precious time again.”
“Then cut the crap and get in the car.” Fred Garner ignored her, and directly shoved Elena to the passenger side.
“What a bully, big devil.” Elena was furious and cooed as she was shoved into the car.
“What did you say about me?” Fred Garner, who sat in the driver’s seat, didn’t hear Elena’s words, but thought he knew it must not be good.
“The president is so idle, even if you do not have to go to the company, but the lone man and woman should avoid suspicion, in case the president’s wife misunderstood, it is not good.” Elena beamed her little mouth.
Fred Garner froze, looked at her sideways and smiled meaningfully, “You don’t have to worry about that, she’s generous.”
“Men, indeed, are all very – shameless.” Elena put the last two words in the heart when in, this she will not dare to say to his face, it would be bad to be expelled.
“What do you want to say? That I’m considerate and gentle?” Fred Garner smiled and took it naturally.
“Stinky.” Elena bit her lip and glared at him, facing such a domineering boss, there was really nothing she could do but let him deliver, believing that he should always leave by the time she got home.
Unfortunately, Elena was too naive and she underestimated Fred Garner. The person was sent back, but Fred Garner didn’t seem to have any intention of going back to work and opened the refrigerator without permission.
“Hey, president, this seems to be my house, aren’t you – ahhh – a bit noisy.” Elena looked at Fred Garner, who was rummaging in the refrigerator, and frowned.
“Patients don’t talk so much, go back to bed and lie down.” Fred Garner looked up at Elena who was holding her nose and said.
“President, may I ask if we’ve met before?” Elena approached, sizing up Fred Garner, thinking how nice it would be if this Fred Garner was really the Fred Garner she knew, but that was a bit of a fool’s errand.
The two families are separated by a hundred thousand miles, not to mention their family history and appearance alone.
Fred Garner heard this, his hand stiffened slightly, a flash of joy in his heart, could it be that Elena recognized?
“What do you think?” In response to Elena’s casual question, Fred Garner said lightly after the excitement.
“President, since we don’t know each other very well, can you please put down what you’re holding.”
Hearing Elena’s words, Fred Garner’s face turned green, so she was cornering him to get lost, what an abominable woman, did she really have amnesia?
“Elena, are you sure you don’t need to go back to bed right now?” Fred Garner closed the refrigerator door and walked towards Elena, who instinctively backed away, as if sensing a threatening aura.
“Lord President, thank you for your kindness, I’m really fine, I’ll go back to bed and lie down, can you also please hurry back to work? I don’t want to be the heroine of gossip.” Elena retreated to the door and protested in a small voice, although she wasn’t to the extent that she needed to rest, but the big boss had given her permission, so she would just be lazy and sleep at home.
“Women don’t even behave when they are sick, I really don’t know who would dare to marry a woman like you.” Watching Elena go to her room, lie down on the bed and pull up the covers before Fred Garner nagged like an ‘older lady’ and left.
Elena wondered in her mind, had the president always been so kind, or was he ‘especially’ so nice to her? But why?
When the sound of the door closing came from outside, Elena finally relaxed, but still a little uneasy, got up and ‘patrolled’ once, saw that the hall and kitchen were empty, to make sure that the people had really gone, and the door was closed, and then lay down on the bed with peace of mind.
Elena was tempted to wake up by a fragrance. She was not feeling well in the morning and rushed to work, so she did not have time to eat breakfast.
She got up from bed in a daze, followed the scent to the kitchen, and when she saw the tall figure in the kitchen, her sleepiness disappeared.
“President? Aren’t you gone?”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Elena your half a day, when Fred Garner turned around, that hanging heart only slightly relieved, think also, that will have a thief to run into people’s kitchen cooking, but ……
“You go wash up first, there will be food to be eaten.” Fred Garner also did not explain just expressed calmly and said.
This five years, he has been used to a person to do these, and now he had this rare opportunity to make up the missing years to show his wife, of course, to do a good job.
The first time they omitted the love stage, now they are making up for it. Besides, he is not interested in divorce.
“President, may I ask why you want ……” Elena’s tongue felt like it had been bitten by a cat and she couldn’t say a complete sentence.
Looking at Fred Garner, thinking, is this how all the bosses in the country care about their employees?
“You’re the patient.” Fred knew what Elena was going to ask because her thoughts were written on her face, but he wasn’t going to reveal the mystery so early to this wife who was half-hearted in her response. It is possible that she has forgotten that she was even married, let alone him as a husband.
“President, is it that all bosses take care of their employees like this?” Elena is still a bit unacceptable, how can the boss be so clean pro, there is still time to the staff cooking, and smell that aroma, seems very delicious, is it really because of this?
“Go wash up, the porridge will not taste good when it gets cold later.” Fred Garner said, he brought out the porridge and put it in a bowl to cool.
“Goo goo goo ……” Elena still wanted to say something, but this will be her stomach to issue a protest, Fred Garner heard the gurgling sound looked up at her, Elena shy immediately rushed into the bathroom.
When Elena took her first bite of porridge, her eyes inexplicably moistened.
“Is it too hot?” Fred Garner saw Elena’s wet eyes and wondered.
“No, no, it’s too good,” Elena said with a choked voice, and buried her head and ate furiously, as if she was afraid someone would steal it all.
“Then eat some more.” Fred Garner’s heart was warmed by the fact that in all these years, Elena was the first person who had the privilege of eating his meals, and it turned out that this feeling of sharing with someone and being praised was so wonderful.
Fred Garner looked at Elena in shock, this was already the fifth bowl, if it was any better, could her stomach hold it?
“Don’t you look at me, I didn’t eat this morning.” Elena blushed a little, I guess it was the first time he saw a girl who could eat so much.
It can’t be helped, who made this porridge so delicious, besides, he cooked so much, it’s a waste not to eat it all.
“Then you eat it, is it enough? I haven’t eaten this bowl yet, do you want it?” Something warm rose up in Fred Garner’s chest, this feeling is so good, much happier than eating alone, much happier.
Yes, this was the feeling, this thing called joy, this feeling called happiness, he had almost forgotten, looking at Elena, Fred Garner decided that he must enjoy this feeling from time to time in the future.
Elena was in better spirits after eating, and Fred Garner played the role of housewife again, cleaning up the kitchen and seeing Elena looking better, before leaving.
“President, thank you.” Elena walked Fred Garner out, embarrassed.
“If you really want to thank me, don’t call me president anymore.” Fred Garner looked back at Elena and said.
“Don’t call you president? Then what do you want to be called?” Elena froze, although she also felt strange for him not to be called president in the company, but if not called president then call him what?
“Think for yourself, if you are still uncomfortable tomorrow, just rest at home, no need to rush to work.” Fred looked back again and gave Elena a shallow smile.
“Bang,, bang, bang,,” Elena looked at Fred Garner who was walking towards the stairs in dismay, her heart thumping and jumping so hard that her face turned red, this feeling was so strange and somewhat unfamiliar.
The first time I saw Fred Garner’s back disappeared in the aisle, Elena just shook her head and told herself not to make a fancy, the president is good, it is also someone else’s, besides, she is a married woman, and also the mother of two children, she must not make such a low-level mistake.
After sending Fred Garner away, Elena couldn’t sleep, as soon as she closed her eyes, it was his light smile when he left, as soon as she remembered, her heart beat faster.
Elena’s hand on her chest, asking herself: what is wrong with me, he just cooked a meal, at most return him a meal later, why should I be so calm.
Fred Garner returned to the company, will be pulled down during the day to do all the things, originally thought to go to Elena’s home again to see, but look at the table, surprisingly already more than ten o’clock, also gave up, but worried that she is still not well, then called a phone.
When she got the call from Fred Garner, Elena lost sleep. The president was too good to be true, but her heart was a little sweet, and she seemed to have a little anticipation.
The next morning, Elena went to work. Although she had a little insomnia at night, Elena got up extra early today. After yesterday’s rest, the cold had gotten better, and thinking that the president had been so nice yesterday and had called so late, Elena felt she should do something to repay the president’s ‘great care’.
Fred Garner woke up in the morning and wanted to call Elena to ask her how she was doing, but he was afraid of disturbing her sleep, so he went straight to Elena’s place to buy breakfast.
The door knocked for half a day no one answered the door, Fred Garner was puzzled, and only then called Elena phone.
“Elena, where are you now?” With a little displeasure, Fred Garner asked on the phone.
“President, I am already in the company, may I ask the president what is the matter?” Elena, who was sitting at her desk, was a little surprised to receive the call Fred Garner’s unusual voice.
“Didn’t I tell you to stay home and rest, who told you to go to the company.” Fred Garner said annoyed.
