Killing Me Softly's

4

The morning felt quite different for Lyra. After Moesi leaves for the office, Lyra doesn't know what to do. As for new social activities starting next week with his new colleagues.

"Madam, we've prepared a car for you to go to the salon"

"I'm going to the nail salon later in the afternoon" he said while arranging a shirt in Moeis' closet.

"The great lady ordered me to arrange this meeting"

Hearing that makes Lyra resigned, "Alright, but I don't like your way. You always set me up all of a sudden. Next time I want 2 days notice"

Ellie just kept quiet about what Lyra said. 

This afternoon, he arrived at a salon. Walk slowly looking for VIP room number 03.

Her mother-in-law seemed to be waiting for her. They eventually received service at the same time.

"Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

"of course. You're too weak"

Lyra did not understand.

"I mean Mom?"

"Listen to Mom if you don't want your marriage to be ruined! Now, Moeis has another woman. Don't you care about that? then, you've read the family genealogy book?"

He was speechless and a little disappointed to hear Moeis has another woman.

"Mom already knew? and, yes, I've read it"

Everything written in the book is true. But her mother-in-law really had to act because she believed Lyra had yet to fully understand the Meyers family.

"Of course I know. Moeis is our precious son, everything he does is in Mom's records. Then, you must know that Moeis has no love for you, you should have acted a lot. Don't take it easy, Lyra"

His heart began to beat, thinking of everything he had read before.

"What's going on, Mom?"

"Like a curse, the son of our sincerity line will never truly fall in love with women. That's why they always go through a period of matchmaking. Because with just a marriage, the curse is gone. We're also unlikely to let her marry a woman of their own choice, it's very risky"

Madame Dave spoke with emotion in her heart as well as how she was able to fit into this family. In the past, his fate was worse than Lyra's, he even had to accept violence and expulsion from Mr. Dave.

"But now that we're married, why hasn't Moeis loved and even treated me so well, Mom? Also, her scandal with an artist named Carrie wasn't true"

"How can you be sure that the scandal is not true? Of course Moeis loved him first. It must have happened while you were in Germany for 2 years after the wedding. In the past, you rejected everything about our family just because you were married. You decided not to care about your husband"

Her mother-in-law's face looked more serious and intimidating. Right, all this time he was too negligent. Lyra wanted to honor Moeis from the moment she got married, but she left and let things go improperly.

"Why? are you sorry? want to fix everything now?" Ask firmly.

Lyra expels her sadness and strengthens herself.

"Yes, Mom. Tell me what I should do"

"There's not much you can do. I'll send you the details of the notes you have. After that fight, Lyra" after finishing her massage, left Lyra alone and allowed her daughter-in-law to think of a thousand ways from now on.

He knows about the mistress of his son, but that does not mean he also has to get rid of her. It will not be good, but it must be the will of Lyra. Whether to keep Moeis or let go of everything.

Meanwhile Lyra also finished her massage and immediately went home. Her soft heart made her cry easily, but she still had to hide her weakness. Here, in this place he must be strong so as not to fall.

"What are you doing?" moeis' voice was heard entering the room.

Lyra turned her back and smiled, "Just arrange your work tie"

"No need, it's the servant's duty" he said coldly as he opened his suit and tie.

"Ellie hasn't told you? from now on no servant can enter our room. Doesn't it feel better?" 

Moeis looked at her in surprise, only to worry that Lyra's attitude would turn out to be unimaginable just because they had been through the night together.

"What are you trying to do?" 

Lyra smilingly looked at Moeis, "I did my job. Isn't organizing this house my right? Yeah, I just want a little privacy"

"Alright, do as you please"

Tokk… 

Lyra immediately walked towards the door. While Moeis only pay attention to her.

"This is your tea" Moeis received the tea Lyra brought from the door. Now the waiter really won't come in, but usually the waiter will come in and put it on the table by the window.

Moeis can only sigh. Now, home is Lyra's business. Right, all that is his right.

While his eyes continued to watch over Lyra, the woman was acting like a wife. Bring tea, pick up his suit and his office bag, prepare a change of clothes and whatnot.

Seeing Moeis who had entered the bathroom made Lyra able to breathe a sigh of relief. From earlier his heart kept racing while carrying out this risky attitude. He only fears Moeis is angry and against him, but things are going well.

Now he only needs to wait for Moeis, before Lyra had spoken to the waiter that he had determined the food menu for the next week also gave a new recipe.

Not long after Moeis finished bathing and changed clothes, they went down together.

"I changed the dinner menu this time, if there is anything less suitable just say not to be prepared again for the future" said Lyra while taking a side dish for Moeis.

Moeis remained silent for a while.

"I don't like the oyster sauce broccoli. Can you give me a glass of water?" 

"It's…."

"Where's the waiter?"

"Why should they stand watching us eat? from now on when we eat, they will also eat in the back. If I need anything, I'll prepare it. Do you mind?" 

Hearing Lyra's soft voice made Moeis unable to comment anymore.

"Today I met your mother"

"For what"

"Talking about your dating scandal"

Moeis put down her spoon and fork. 

"I don't heed their comments, don't need to be listened to"

Lyra advanced her body.

"Despite that, they're worried about our relationship. You should be more careful. That doesn't mean I accept your affair, I know you don't care but I have a right to interfere in it"

"Stop your bullshit.."

"alright. I'm sorry"

Moeis sighed hearing Lyra apologize.

After returning to the room, Lyra is engrossed in her gadgetry. While Moeis was still in the workspace until late at night.

Her door opened making Moeis look for a moment. Lyra walked towards him in her sleeping pajamas.

"I brought you warm honey water. What time do you want to sleep?"

Moeis was silent for a moment. Is Lyra asking her to sleep together?

"Why ask?"

"I want to prepare your pajamas too"

"Look, if you want to sleep then just sleep. Don't mind me. Maybe I can fall asleep here"

"Don't be too hard on me." said Lyra.

But Moeis just kept quiet and did not care. Not wanting to linger any longer Lyra immediately walked out of Moeis's study. His heart is no longer strong.

While walking towards the room, Lyra saw one of the servants walking towards her. This is the only way to Moeis's office.

"Where are you going?" ask Lyra.

The waiter stopped.

"I want to call you down. Someone wants to see him, madam"

At midnight like this? Lyra was both curious as to who this person was.

"Who?"

"Father Johnson, one of the family's Financial Consultants, Mrs. He's waiting downstairs"

"It's late at night. Master is at work, let me go down" said Lyra as she passed away to her room to change clothes and then went downstairs and met guests.

The waiter was worried, not knowing how.

"Good Night, Mr Johnson?" Lyra was gracious.

The 63-year-old stood by to see Lyra coming, she looked dignified and intelligent.

"Good Night, are you Miss Lyra?"

"Yes, right, please sit down" he said with a smile.

"Is the young master busy, until you meet me? it just so happened that we made an appointment" Johnson initially did not expect Lyra to come down, now how can he meet Moeis.

"He's working on something. Can't you talk to me? wouldn't it be that if what you're bringing is our family's financial statements, I'm entitled to know?" 

Johnson looked at Lyra, this woman is very intelligent. It's not easy to manipulate him.

"As you know, I've worked for this family for decades. Not only financial statements, but also periodically I provide consultation on business to Young Master. And now, I think it is necessary to meet Young Master and consult on some of the difficulties that the young Master is going through"

Not only listening, Lyra also observed Johnson's expression and speech style.

"I understand, and you know what? I am an Accountant as well, so I hope from now on you can work with me. Especially about all the budgets that until now still managed Ellie, as well as financial conditions, savings, and expenses from credit cards on behalf of my husband" said Lyra straightforwardly.

Johnson felt a little pressured by what Lyra had said. The reason is, he is the most know about Moeis credit, even though Madam Dave ordered her to tell all of it to Lyra. But it is hard to betray Moeis who he has helped since young.

Seeing Johnson's expression made Lyra even more challenged, apparently there was another important thing hidden from her.

"How's it?" ask Lyra again.

"Alright, then I'll rearrange the meeting with you. It's late now, I better go home first" 

Johnson stood up and carried a small black leather suitcase.

"Can you give me the report, don't worry." Lyra's gaze made Johnson intimidated.

"Mrs, please don't burden me"

Lyra slightly smiled hearing those words.

"I'll take responsibility…" 

Johnson took his time answering. He looked at Lyra many times with doubt. This is the privacy of Moeis, he has to take a big risk if he gives this report to Lyra.

"alright.. "

After getting what she wanted, Lyra let Johnson go. He hurriedly went to the room to check the report.

He even locked his room so that Moeis did not enter suddenly.

"Well, it says there are 6 credit cards in the name of Moeis.."

Lyra read it carefully, according to the information there stating 1 card was brought by Ellie, 1 by the secretary and 1 he held the newly obtained a few days ago. So now Moeis is 3 cards.

So far there is nothing suspicious about the six cards. Then he moved on to another page.

"Money remittance abroad???.." Lyra's heart began to be careless.

"Hhhh.s-singapore." said Lyra while covering her mouth with her palm.

His heart kept racing reading line by line. There it says Moeis routinely sends large sums of money to the Account on behalf of Carrie Wu. 

Carrie Wu is the alleged artist of Moeis' affair. So it's true everything in her mother-in-law's records. Moeis even spent money to support the woman.

Shortness is what Lyra is feeling right now. It's been for the last 1 year that Moeis sent. Even bigger than he received during his time in Germany.

"That guy must be crazy !!…" annoyed Lyra who had already dropped her tears. Even his eyes were reddened and his breathing was irregular.

He was disappointed and his heart was hurt by Moeis' attitude. Really not willing.

The more he read the report, the more hurt his pride became.

There are many tax lists of luxury goods purchased in the name of Moeis. Bags, shoes, clothes and even jewelry.

Lyra's gaze stopped.

"Why is there a purchase of luxury goods in Ellie's name???"

Everything went wrong in Lyra's mind, the butler even got a luxury item? 

Now he just sits limply thinking about all this. He really doesn't understand.

***

On the other hand, Moeis only focused on working since Lyra left her room. His phone is in a state of silent.

He did not realize that Mr. Johnson kept contacting him to inform him that the report was now in Lyra's hands.

At 01.13

After taking a sip of the honey water brought by Lyra, Moes finally checked his phone. He was surprised to see a misscall from Mr. Johnson.

Moeis called her back.

"Night, Sir. I just finished..."

Not yet had time to answer, he was shocked by the speech of Mr. Johnson. He even apologized continuously in messages sent to Moeis.

"Well, I understand. It's okay. later I call again.." Moeis replied with great frustration.

Without a second thought, Moeis walked straight to her room in hasty steps. His face turned extremely wrathful with his trademark sharp gaze.

"Lyraa!!!... " He tried to open the locked door.

"Damn..!!!! Lyra...open the door now before I go any further!!.. Lyra..!!!"

He continued banging on the door and violently, to the point that several servants including Ellie approached him.

"Sir, what's going on?"

"Give me a spare key.. hurry..!!"

All the servants seemed afraid to see Moeis who was emotional like this.

As soon as Ellie gets the key, she gives it to Moeis.

"It's mister…"

Seriate…
