Chapter 157 - She Isn't Here

Ch-156

"Hello," a deep masculine voice could be heard from the other side. 

"I thought you would never call me," the other side said. His voice was too husky and masculine for her to take in. 

"Why?" Eleanor asked, regaining her senses. 

"It's just that… your company is back on track. And apart from this, you have nothing to ask help for," the other side. 

"I need help. Not with one thing but with many," she said in her weak voice. 

"If you are sick you shall rest instead of talking with me," he said. 

"Well… let's not talk about me anymore. Let's get into business," she said. 

"Okay. What do you need?" he asked. 

"What shall I call you?" she asked. 

"Hmm… you can call me Juke," he said. 

"Juke… I need the information of…." she asked him about the three annoying shareholders who were trying to gobble up the Zora groups from the start. 

"I will get the information as soon as possible," he said. 

"Also, can you get me the information about Nathaira? The relationship between Nathaira and Cedric?" she asked. 

"Sure. This may take time," he said.

"It's fine. As long as I get to know about them," she said. 

"And… I want to retrace the accident that happened to my brother. Also, the one who tampered the medicine in his previous hospital," she said. 

"Any more?" he asked. 

"Nope," she said. 

"I will get back to work," he said. 

"Bye then," she said before hanging up. 

She felt half of the burden was removed from her head. Dragging her tired body, she entered her room inside the office. Closing it, she stripped her clothes and only left with undergarments. Her head was spinning, she wanted to sleep. But her body was too sweaty. So, she took a quick shower without getting her hair wet. After a quick bath, she wore a bathrobe and went back to her bed. Turning off the lights, she slumped on the bed. Soon, sleep took over her.

On the other side…. 

Cedric doesn't know how to face Eleanor. So… he decided to run away from her before she wakes. But… nothing was helping him. At the very same time, he was ashamed to face her. On the other hand, he felt that it wasn't wrong to sleep with the person we love. 

At the very same time, Edward came and laid a problem. That led him to solve unsolvable deal things. He directly went to the company, got the papers drafted and drove to Ashbrook's house. 

After nearly three hours of talking with them… they agreed to give him a chance. On the other hand… There were three doctors from the other department, hospitals and they were replaced in the hospital. 

After talking to them… he felt happy at least he was getting a chance to get the deal. With a happy mood, he drove to his apartment. He remembered Eleanor's ill health all of a sudden and left for the hospital. But he found she was no longer there. He asked everyone but everyone said they didn't know about her. 

He called Aiden to ask about Eleanor. 

"Hello, Dad," he called out. 

"Cedric, what happened?" Aiden asked. 

"Is Eleanor with you?" he asked. 

"Nah… she should be in hospital," he said. 

"She isn't…" Cedric was about to say something but was cut off by aiden. 

"She also said she would stay over in Myna's place," he said. 

"Thanks, dad," Cedric replied. 

"Hmm… I am happy that you agreed with Eleanor's decision, Son." Aiden said. Aiden can understand that Eleanor didn't discuss the marriage postponing with Cedric. And he was sure that one way or another… Cedric was the reason for her tears today. And he would make him cry. After all… who asked him to make his daughter cry. 

"Dad… what are you talking about?" Cedric asked feeling confused. 

"Don't act like you don't know. I am talking about your marriage registration postponement," he said. 

"Dad…" Cedric wanted to ask something but he got cut off by Aiden. 

"Ok, Son. I will hang up now. Take care," he said. A smirk was dancing on his lips when he hung the call. If he gets to know, Cedric was the reason for his daughter's tears, Cedric could only dream of marrying Eleanor. 

------

Cedric was stunned silly when he heard Aiden's words. Eleanor postponed the marriage. He doesn't know what to say. 

He badly wanted to talk with Eleanor. But she wasn't lifting her phone. What could he do? 

He drove directly to Myna's house. Cedric directly went to her house and rang the doorbell. 

Valene opened the door instead of Myna or Eleanor. He was confused. But forget it, he needs Eleanor not Myna or Valene. 

"Where is she?" he asked. 

"Who? Myna? She is resting," Valene replied. 

"You know I am talking about Eleanor," Cedric said. 

"Did you forget this is Myna's house?" Valene said. 

"I know… Eleanor is going to spend her night here. Ask her to come out," he almost yelled. 

"First down your voice. And second Eleanor is not here. Even if I know where she is… I won't tell. You Angry bull!" Valene said. He could see Cedric was getting angry. And if he could see if he meets Eleanor right now… he would do something unforgivable. 

Cedric knows Valene is protective of her. From childhood, he heard him saying… 'I want to have a sister like her,' And now… in the place of Martin he was taking care of her. He wouldn't let him meet her. This wasn't good. He badly wanted to talk with Eleanor about Marriage. 

"Move," he said. 

"Nope, Eleanor isn't here," Valene said. 

"I said move!" he yelled. 

"Eleanor isn't here. Don't barge in. This is Myna's house," 

"I can do anything! I just want to see my woman! Right now!" 

"Eleanor isn't here for god sake!"

"She is here! And you are hiding her!" 

"She isn't! Leave right now!" 

"Move!" 

Pushing Valene aside, Cedric barged inside Myna's house. He checked every room but didn't find Eleanor. 

"Where is she?" he asked, grabbing Valene's collar. 

"I won't say. Aren't you great Cedric Emerson? Find her on your own," Valene said as he pushed him aside. 

"Say it," Cedric said. 

"Oh… I guess you badly wanted to talk to her about the marriage thing, right? Tsk… tsk… Find her. Don't ask me," Valene said. 

Cedric was stumped silly again. This means everyone knew about it but him. He left Myna's house in anger. He drove to her apartment but she wasn't there. Then he thought about her company and drove there. Her office was empty with no lights on. Everyone left the office. For a second even he thought she wasn't in the office. But for some reason, his heart asked him to check her room. 

Opening the door, he was welcomed with a most shocking and jaw dropping sight. 

He saw Eleanor sleeping on her bed with only a bathrobe on her. Her cleavage was exposed to his eyes and her fair legs were in his view. His throat went dry the moment his eyes fell on her. She was smoking hot. He badly wanted to have her the very minute. But… he remembered she had a vaginal tear because of him. 

Walking ahead, he found her sleeping peacefully but her body was sweating buckets. Placing his hands on her forehead, he noticed her body was unusually hot. He could say she didn't have food or tablets. He went out and ordered some healthy food for her. Returning back he saw her still sleeping but moving a lot. Her movements made her bathrobe almost go off. He could feel himself getting hard and uncomfortable. But he has to endure the torture she was giving to him unknowingly. 

Walking towards her, he woke her up. Eleanor felt someone was in her room. Her throat was running dry. She wanted to open her eyes and check who was in her room. But she has no strength. And she felt someone was trying to wake her up. She opened her eyes slowly to look at the person. Her vision was hazy and blurry. But she could make it out that it was Cedric. 

"Water…" she muttered, feeling the dryness of her throat. 

Cedric heard her asking for water. He immediately poured some water for her and helped her to drink. 

Eleanor felt her throat was cooled down. Opening her eyes completely, she looked at him. 

"Why are you here?" she asked. 

"You didn't have food and didn't eat meds," he said, instead of answering. 

"First tell me why are you here?" she asked in her hoarse voice. 

"First eat before you interrogate me," he said. She knew she couldn't get answers from him now no matter what. 

She silently obliged to him and ate the food he brought. After having food she ate her meds. 

"I am tired. I will sleep. You can leave," she said. She was scared that he got to know about the marriage thing. Right… Now she has no energy to argue or talk or explain to him.. She just wants to sleep.
