Killing Me Softly's

15

It was in this room that Lyra finally signed the document and delivered a few words before the higher-ups.

From now on he will be an important person who will help oversee the company's finances. Although a new person, Lyra has learned a lot and will increasingly find out many things. Including revealing the people who embezzled funds.

Wouldn't the haughty attitude he displayed every time he entered the company make everyone respect him? Lyra only thought it would be better if she was as cold as Moeis.

The door of the room opened and several secretaries bowed. After the meeting was over, Moeis escorted Lyra to her room. Apparently they had to get into the elevator and get down to the 39th floor.

"All the finance department including the director are on this floor, so you can coordinate easily. The meeting room over there, has more luxurious facilities than the others. That's your space, I've been asking for renovations for a long time"

Lyra is confused by every explanation from Moeis. It's true, the room is very comfortable.

Finished looking around the room, Lyra sat on the sofa slightly incised her achy legs using a high heel. As Moeis walked towards her and saw Lyra, their gazes turned awkward. Don't know which way to look.

"Mm.. are you sure you'll trust me to lead this position?"

"As you have seen for yourself. I'm taking you to the top floor.."

There's only the two of them in Lyra's new room. The atmosphere is very unusual, probably because of what happened last night.

"Also.. finance at home, should all be my authority right?" ask her a little doubt.

"Really.."

Lyra had been holding these questions for a long time, but was asking in the office okay?

"May I ask? I've been wanting to know long enough…"

Moeis fixed her sitting position, facing Lyra with a serious look. He nodded.

"At that time, when I first read the financial statements. I was shocked and didn't know what I was reading. I mean, I just don't understand. Why did you buy Ellie fancy things? Sending money to the artist? And. You're so mad at me. What's up?"

No significant change in expression. Moeis's face remained cold, staring at Lyra without reaction. A little scary, like something that seems to be about to explode.

His heart was pounding and a little nervous.

"Take my breath, this time. I just want to know what you're really doing." she asked again.

It's been. Lyra was ready with the anger she would receive from the man before her.

Suddenly, Moeis stood up and walked towards him while tidying up the suit. Moeis passed the sofa and was behind her. Lyra did not dare to look.

Lyra jerks. Feeling both hands of Moeis holding her shoulders from behind.

"... If you are very curious, what should I tell you? All right.. listen carefully. The money Ellie got as a butler was too much, so I gave her things. And, that money is Carrie's right.."

Spontaneous Lyra looked up at Moeis who was standing behind her.

"What do you mean?"

There was a smile line on Moeis' cold face.

"She has been with me for a few nights in Singapore. So, the money is his pay"

Hearing Moeis's words that sound leads to something else, certainly makes Lyra more surprised and adds to the curiosity.

"How many nights? You slept with him, then gave him a fee??!"

Now even Lyra's position has stood in line with Moeis. The man nodded calmly and walked over to her.

"Yes, because money is not a problem for me. Even if the woman just smiled, I would still give her money"

What Moeis was talking about couldn't Lyra believe. She could not see the honesty of her husband. But, if it's true. Sleeping and paying women is inappropriate.

No. gabe. That's not what Lyra wanted to say. He should have been angry to hear Moeis' confession to sleeping with another woman.

Moeis laughed rubbing Lyra's head. And hugged her.

"Can I miss that question? Enough like this…"

As if hypnotized, Lyra completely quelled her curiosity. He just accepted Moeis's hug like last night.

"Then Ellie?"

"He should have helped me in everything. So in order for the woman to remain faithful to her work and feel valued, I have to be open with some of my personal things and give her more?"

Actually Lyra was not satisfied with that answer.

Somehow, Moeis is still Moeis. Which he does not yet know completely. Which is still a mystery to him.

Moeis let go of his embrace, and took Lyra to sit down together.

"Lately your attitude has changed a little, Moeis. It feels like you have started to open your heart. Even though I know it didn't happen"

"Just wait…"

***

Ellie entered Moeis' room and locked the door. Although it was 2 p.m., Moeis was still seen working in her room.

"What's wrong?"

"Did you decide to stay away from Carrie? That's not true, is it?" her breathing sounds irregular, maybe Ellie ran from her room to the top floor.

"Yes.for the moment is the best. I don't want to be involved with them anymore. Let Daniel take care of everything. If I have to step in, I will come. But not for now.I don't want to see Carrie"

Hearing Moeis's unexpected remarks frustrated Ellie. So what, all this time he helped a lot. But Moeis gave up.

"You didn't appreciate my efforts all this time?"

Moeis put down her pen, looked Ellie in the eye.

"You better understand the situation. To think that you're not valued is an disrespect you have for me, Ellie. Don't forget how much I trust you…"

Ellie hissed away her sight.

"Are you in love with the Madam? Did you release Carrie because of Madam?" the question is quite interrogative and sharp.

Moeis paused her time answering.

"...... How could you say such a thing? Is it possible for me to choose both?"

"Yes right, let's just talk reality. The madam is yours. Yeah... Let me accept that.."

The atmosphere was quiet for a while. Moeis knew how upset Ellie was just by the look on her face.

"Are you disappointed?" ask Moeis.

"Do you care? Even if I say that Madam has influenced you?"

Is it true that Moeis has destroyed Ellie's efforts that have been heavy and complicated? Is this too much?

"I'm sorry.." said Moeis.

Seriate...
