MENDING HIS BROKEN HEART : CHAPTER 71 – 90
Chapter 89
She wanted to go into the company but was contemplating on how to face Gray when she gets there. She changed her mind and turned back, thinking of better ways to deal with Elena. That lady cannot burst out of nowhere and make her life miserable. She wiped her tears and entered her car before driving off.
Elena entered the company and majority of the employees adjusted in their seats. No one dared to talk to her. All they could do was whisper among themselves, so that she wouldn’t hear them. She walked into the elevator with her head high and with a lot of confidence.
The elevator door was about to close but Scarlet stopped it. All the employees gasped, thinking that Scarlet would be in bug trouble but to their surprise, Elena smiled lovingly at Scarlet.
“Good morning, babe.” She said and stepped out.
“Morning! I slept well, how about you?” Scarlet asked.
“I did too. You look really happy today, come and tell me everything.” Elena said.
“Let’s go to my office.” Scarlet said and they entered the elevator, taking it to Scarlet’s office.
The employees who had witnessed what happened widened their eyes in shock. They didn’t know Elena could smile like that, she was always putting on a cold and serious face with an unapproachable aura. They concluded that she and Scarlet were friends before proceeding with whatever they were doing.

AUSTIN’S OFFICE
“You said that we would be going to your office.” Elena said.
“Yeah, this is my office.” Scarlet said and opened the door.
“No, this is Austin’s office.” Elena said.
“Come and sit down first, I’ll tell you everything.” Scarlet said and sat down.
Elena sat down too. “I’m listening.” She said and Scarlet smiled.
“Well, I finally spoke to Austin and guess what?”
“What?” She smiled.
“He…” Scarlet told Elena all that happened and Elena beamed.
“Really! Wow! Congratulations.” She said.
“Thanks. I just want to appreciate you for the advice you gave me. It really worked and I don’t know how to thank you enough.” Scarlet said.
“That’s what friends are for.” Elena said.
“Yeah. So, tell me, aren’t you in any relationship?” Scarlet asked.
“I’m in none at the moment.” Elena answered.
“What? A beautiful lady like you isn’t in any relationship yet?” Scarlet asked rhetorically and Elena shrugged. “But, you have someone you are crushing on or you’ve come to love right?” Scarlet asked.
She nodded. “Yes.”
“Who is the lucky guy?” Scarlet asked.
Elena wanted to lie but since Scarlet had been free with her and told her so many things, she needed to tell her the truth.
“Gray.” She answered and Scarlet gasped.
“Gray?” She asked to be sure.
“Yeah. It’s awkward right? Falling in love with someone who you met a month ago.” Elena said.
“It’s possible. Love is a complicated thing you know. Gray has gone through a lot in love, so I can’t guarantee if he loves you or not. I know he likes you since you’ve lasted j in his office unlike the many people that worked here. But, I trust you’ll do great. He will fall for you in no time. He has a soft heart.” Scarlet said.
“I’ll try my best.” She said and they laughed.
“You have to get going now, before he comes looking for you.” Scarlet said.
“Yeah. See you at lunch.” Elena said and walked out.

…
She got to the office and Gray looked at her questionably.
“I went to Scarlet’ s office.” She said.
He had seen her through the camera and thought that she was going to lie but here she was, proving him wrong again. He simply nodded and she went to sit down.
“Elena?” He called.
“Yes, sir.” She answered and looked at him.
“Can I ask you a question?”
“Sure.”
“Who was Noel to you?” He asked.
“Like I said earlier, she is my friend. We got along when I led them on a tour.” Elena answered.
“All these thing you’re doing, are you like punishing people because of her?” Gray asked and she kept quiet. She started thinking of what to say.
“Um… I love Noel alot. She was the reason why I decided to move to San Diego in the first place. Getting here and hearing the shocking news about her death angered me. What made me furious was that, she was klled and I’m set to avenge her de..ath.” She said.
“So, you’re transferring that anger to others?” He asked.
“Those people that got my wrath aren’t innocent either.” She said.
“But_”
“Mr Gray, please, let’s talk about this later. I really have a lot to think of right now, plus I’m hungry.” She said.
“Should I get you something to eat then?” He asked and she smiled.
“Yes. You’ll be the one to cook it, I really miss your…” She trailed off when she realized what she was about to say.
“Miss my what?” Gray asked.
“Your… erm… Like, what I meant to say is that, I haven’t tasted your good before. I thought you were my brother, so I wanted to say I miss your cooking.” She said and laughed, hoping he would buy her lie. Gray just smiled.
“What would you like to take?” He asked.
“Since, it’s still early, I would like to take cornflakes.” She said.
Gray sighed. This reminded him of Noel, he loved how she complimented the cornflakes he made for her. “Alright, I’ll be right back.” He said and left the office.
After he left, Elena let her tears roll down. “I’m sorry for hurting you like this. I’ll make you happy very soon, I promise. I can’t stand you being like this, I really can’t but I have no choice now.” She said and took her phone. She texted a message to Lucas, telling him to arrange a meeting for her with Silvia and Julie in a private restaurant by 2pm that afternoon. He would meet her in the company and they would leave together. He texted her back with an ok and thumbs up emoji. She smiled, cleaned her tears and dropped her phone.
Gray came back few minutes later with a cup of cornflakes. He noticed the change in her mood and asked. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine.” She smiled at him but it was obvious that it didn’t reach her eyes. Gray didn’t want to bother her so he gave her the cornflakes. “Here.” He said and went to sit down.
“Thanks.” She said and picked it up. She tasted it and smiled, she really missed his cornflakes. It tasted just like she remembers. Gray sat and watched her eating it cutely. He didn’t know when he smiled at how adorable she looked.
“Who made this? This is so good!” She complimented and he smiled. “You made this? Wow! I wish I can take this everyday.” She said.
“It’s possible.” He muttered and smiled.
“Have you eaten?” She asked.
“Not yet.” He said.
“You need to eat too.” She said.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine.” He said.
“No, you’re not. Don’t starve yourself please, it isn’t good for your health. Wait! I’ll go get you food from the cafeteria.” She said and rushed out before he could say anything.
Gray smiled. So, she actually cared about him. He smiled again wondered what was even wrong with him.
She got back later and dropped the food on his table. “How did you know what I like eating?” He asked.
“Stop asking questions and eat.” She said and went to continue eating her cornflakes. Gray looked at her but her attention was already on the cornflakes she was holding. He sighed and started eating.

Julie and Silvia were watching the video and laughing so hard. It had already gone viral that the daughter of Evan got chilli powdered by a makeup given to her by a secret admirer.
“She is totally going ¢razy as we speak.” Silvia who had gone to see her said.
“Whoever did this is blessed. I’ll do hug the person if I meet him or her one day.” Julie said.
“I can’t stop laughing at how red her face is.” Silvia said.
“What if it’s that lady you met at Food Palace the other day?” Julie asked.
“I thought about same thing. The way she talked to Camille that day was like she had known her for a very long time. There was hatred in the manner she talked to Camille.” Silvia said.
“I wish we could meet her one day. She deserves a hug and handshake.” Julie said and they laughed.
Suddenly, a message popped up on the phone. Silvia read it aloud and they exchanged looks.
“Could she be the one?” Julie asked.
“It’s a probability.” Silvia shrugged.
“Quick! Quick! Let’s get ready. We wouldn’t wanna disappoint her, if she is after Camille then we are so lucky.” Julie said and they ran to their bedrooms to prepare.

GRAY’S OFFICE
“So, you’re trying to say that your brother is coming to pick you up and is taking you somewhere?” Gray asked after she told him.
“Yes. Please, just let me go for today. I’ll work till late at night tomorrow to make up.” Elena said.
“Oh really?” Gray said.
“Yes.” She answered.
“Alright. When is your brother coming?” Gray asked.
“He should be here any moment from now.” She said.
“Okay.”
….
Lucas drove into the company with Annabella and tried Elena’s line but it wasn’t reachable. He left Annabella in the car then entered the company. Immediately he entered, the female employees shrieked in amazement.
“Purr! Who is this demi god?”
“OMG! And I thought our CEO was hot.”
“To be honest, I don’t know who is more handsome right now. I am so confused!”
“He should be a model. Are you seeing that kller body?”
“Gosh! And his smile.”
The female employees murmured non stop which disgusted the males who burned with jealousy. Lucas didn’t know the way, so he tapped a lady who was busy on her laptop to ask for directions.
“Please, can you please direct me to the office of Mr Gray?” He asked and she almost went crazy.
“Y… Yes… Yes. Just take this elevator to the 31st floor.” She said, looking at him dreamily.
“Thanks.” He smiled and left while she almost collapsed in her chair. She looked at where he touched her and smiled, she would never wash that jacket again.
Lucas was about to open the elevator when another opened and Elena stepped out with Gray. “I heard screaming and knew you were in the building.” She said, holding his hand.
“Yeah. Good day Mr Gray.” He greeted.
“Good day. Where is my baby girl?” Gray asked, referring to Annabella.
“She slept off while I was driving here, so I left her in the car.” Lucas answered.
“Oh okay. I’ll come see her later then. You guys should go well.” He smiled, shocking the employees who were spectating more.
“We will.” Elena smiled and they left. Gray entered and took the elevator back to his office. Now, his office was going to be very boring since she isn’t around. The employees couldn’t believe what they saw. They received a lot of shockers today.

THE RESTAURANT
Levi parked the car and woke Annabella. They walked into the restaurant and went straight to the table where Julie and Silvia were already seated, waiting for them.
She sat down and they exchanged pleasantries. The booked the restaurant for only themselves that night.
“It’s so nice to finally meet you, Miss Elena.” Silvia said.
Elena frowned at the Miss in her name but decided to let it slide. “Yeah. So, I heard that you two are after Camille as well.” She said.
“Yes. We are owing her deep and wicked lessons and can’t wait to pay her back.” Julie answered.
“So, tell me what she has done to you.” Elena said.
Julie narrated her story first then Silvia narrated hers. Elena smiled.
“Tell us yours.” Julie requested.
“Before that, I want to show you girls something.” She said.
“Hope it isn’t something bad because I’m kinda scared of you.” Silvia said.
Elena chuckled. “No it isn’t.” She said and then, slowly and steadily, she removed her mask.
Silvia and Julie gasped.
“Noel!!!”
