Better than him

Due to the effects of the drug, Elena just woke up from her sleep when morning was almost approaching. With her eyes still a little misty, Elena reached for her cellphone which was on the nightstand, her smile broadened when she saw dozens of missed calls from the Night King along with almost the same number of messages.

Elena, who was curious then opened the message and smiled slightly as she read one by one the messages sent by her boss.

"Apparently the ice monster still has a heart," Elena said to herself, commenting on the last message Christian sent.

Since her hunger was unbearable, Elena finally decided to get up and look for food. But just getting out of bed, Elena immediately remembered that there was no food in her room. There are only two bottles of mineral water on the table.

"Three o'clock in the morning, where should I look for food this late?" Elena muttered quietly. "My stomach is uncompromising."

After thinking for a while, Elena finally decided to order food at one of the nearby junk food restaurants from the hotel. Even though she knew that junk food wasn't good for her who still hadn't fully recovered from her illness, Elena still chose to buy the food. Elena didn't want her to get heartburn because it would be even more torturous in the future.

Because the courier from the junk food restaurant that Elena ordered had almost arrived at the hotel, Elena then rushed out of her hotel room wearing the scarf she used to cover her body. Elena didn't want to make the courier wait too long in the hotel lobby, so Elena used a scarf instead of a jacket.

Just as Elena got out of the elevator, the courier who brought Elena's order arrived at the hotel lobby. With half running Elena immediately approached the courier who was chatting with security.

"This is the food I ordered, it's okay," said Elena softly to the two security people who were interrogating the courier who had just gotten off his motorbike.

"You..."

"I'm Elena Wilson who ordered two burgers and fries thirty minutes ago," Elena answered quickly, cutting off the courier's words.

The courier then gave the food he was carrying to Elena as soon as Elena gave him the money.

"I don't have any money to..."

"It's ok, just take the rest for you," said Elena softly.

"But this is a lot, Miss."

Elena who was impatiently enjoying her order smiled a little. "It was an expression of my gratitude for you being willing to deliver food this late, so just accept it."

Not only the courier smiled broadly, the two security guards who were near them also smiled at Elena's words. After the courier left, Elena went back into the hotel after getting a refusal from the two security guards who tried to offer food.

With a cheerful heart Elena immediately got into the elevator, because she couldn't hold back her hunger finally Elena opened the wrapper of her burger and started eating it with one big bite. But the fateful thing didn't seem to want to stay away from Elena, just as Elena pressed her teeth into the incredibly delicious three-layer burger, the elevator door opened and right in front of her was a handsome man standing.

Since there was no turning back, Elena ended up munching on the burger she had bitten off immediately.

The man who had previously stopped the elevator just narrowed his eyes at Elena's behavior, seeing Elena's barbaric way of eating made the man stand for a long time in front of the elevator which had been open for a long time until the man finally decided to enter the elevator because he didn't want to wait too long. . Once inside the elevator, the man immediately turned his back on Elena, taking the furthest distance from Elena who was munching on her burger.

After a minute had passed, the man who had his back to Elena surprisingly turned his body to face Elena who had just swallowed her burger.

"You… you're that impudent girl, aren't you!!" shouted the man loudly while pointing one finger at Elena who looked shocked.

Elena lifted her head, staring at the man standing right in front of her. Elena suddenly covered her lips with one hand when she recognized the figure of the man who was a few inches away from her.

Areez who just came back from the bar immediately covered his nose when he saw the food that Elena brought. "Does your boss not pay you well enough that you have to eat junk food like that?"

"Junk food? Watch your words, sir!"

"The food in your hands is junk food, right? There isn't the slightest bit of nutritional content in that food, so there's nothing wrong with what I said," Areez said flatly.

Elena who didn't like her food being reproached then lifted her chin higher. "If this food has no nutritional content, why? After all, I am not the one who ate this food, so you have no right to criticize the food I eat. And one more thing, don't badmouth my boss, because he is much better than you."

Areez chuckled. "Christian Clarke better than me? Oh come on, he's nothing to me. He's just a Daddy's kid not like me."

"Oh really? Then what kind of man are you?"
