“Ma, can you get me absent first? I want to pick up the documents to Mr. Marc's house first this morning,” Layla said as she called Emma on the city bus. It was too late to go to the office. He better find another reason that makes his delay tolerable by Mr. Denis.
“This you, La, it's been almost a week, but the document problem is not finished yet. Clean up soon, I'll tell you to Mr. Denis.”
Layla smiles at Emma's reply. The girl sat leaning back inside the bus, thinking about what happened last night at Dinan's house. Was that guy really not touching her at all last night? To be honest, Layla was still not ready to give herself to Dinan. In his heart still engraved a beautiful sense of love for Bayu. He does not want to give himself but to those he loves.
“I should be able to take care of myself. Hopefully the kids in the parlor can move in soon and I can quickly get away from him,” said Layla.
The bus that Layla was riding on stopped quite far from Mr. Marc's house. Forcing the girl to ride a motorcycle taxi until she reached the luxury home of the Marc family residence. The atmosphere of the house that morning was very quiet. Only a few guards and gardeners worked. In front of the terrace is also parked luxury black car owned by Mr. Marc. That morning Risa is delivered to school by Eva's mother, so Layla knows only Mr. Marc himself at home.
After asking permission to enter, Layla headed straight to the living room and found Mr. Marc busy with a laptop near the pool. The old man loved sitting there. Every time Layla came, the man was always sitting by the pool. Boldly, Layla stepped closer to her father-in-law.
“August, Sir!”
Mr Marc turned his head, “Eh, Layla, what's the matter early in the morning you've come?”
“Sorry, Sir, I'd like to pick up the orphanage's land documents, Sir. Mr. Dinan requested that the document should be on his desk before home.”
Mr. Marc breathed a rough breath, “that boy, I told him to take a day off work first. But still he's stubborn. Dinan must have told you all the problems in the land, right?” guess Mr. Marc.
“Sorry, Sir, I made a big mistake, I should not interfere with Mr. Dinan's work related to that land.” Layla was weakly bowed guiltily.
“This is not your fault, La, Dinan is like that, but the land is not too broad, but he is very ambitious. Be tempted by 4-5 times the profit in three years, or if patient, within five years the company can profit 20 times when all government development programs are completed in the region. So you don't have to fear Dinan will find another woman, she is too busy with all her ambitions.”
“Now do your duty as a wife, support her every thing she does. Tear him down with all your attention and support. If something goes wrong, commemorate it once or twice, if he is stubborn, let him bear all the risks. If Dinan threatens you with a divorce, it will never happen, I assure you. So it's just a good wife for him.”
Layla was silent, Mr. Marc seemed to have high hopes for her to be Dinan's wife forever. While she herself hopes to be released from the man who just became her husband that day.
“Tell him Layla, the document I hold, do not touch the children of the home until he knows the ins and outs of the land. If he were to rashly move the orphanage children, his enemies would quickly devour him before the construction of the apartment began.”
Layla was stunned to hear that. He gulped, even though he hoped the children of the home could move immediately and he could soon run away from Dinan.
“Ta-but, Sir. Mr. Dinan ..”
“Dinan it's still not smart to do business, Layla. If he acted like that, the other party would pounce on him as fast as lightning. Now you go home to the apartment. Rest, all day yesterday you must be tired. Don't work two days, La. I'll take care of your work permit.”
"Sir, Mr. Dinan ..."
"La, follow my words, facing Dinan is not easy. Now go home, the documents let me keep them, "cut Mr. Marc who didn't give Layla a chance to speak.
Layla gulped, she did not dare to argue Mr. Marc. In the end he could only leave with a feeling of hurt. Hearing Mr. Marc's words that did not want to move the orphanage immediately made his head dazed. He didn't want to stay with Dinan any longer. Afraid that Dinan was really asking for her whole self. He still wants to give his life for Bayu. A man beautifully carved in his heart.
With a gloomy feeling Layla took the bus back to her office. Now he was at a loss to explain what it was like to Dinan. Unwittingly Layla, she is caught in a disharmonious relationship between Dinan and Mr. Marc. Layla's position was difficult, because she could not choose to stand on whose side.
“Where are you from Layla?” ask Leo
Layla who had been daydreaming and not paying attention to who entered was immediately shocked when her name was called. The girl turned her head and looked at Leo furiously.
“I'm from Mr. Marc's house, Mas.”
“Home Mr Marc?” asked Leo who was surprised to hear it, “what do you need with Mr Marc, La?”
“Ah, that ... only duty from Mr. Denis, Mas,” replied Layla looking for a reason.
Leo nodded in understanding. But when passing through the fourth floor, the elevator door did not open. This time Leo was again astonished by Layla.
“You're not going to the third floor, La?” ask Leo again.
“I'm going to the seventh floor, Mas.”
“Seven floor? you have a problem with Mr Dinan, La?” ask Leo to guess.
Layla immediately shook her head, no one could know that she and Dinan had a bond.
“Aa, that, I have to take some documents that need to be fixed on Mr. Richard's desk, Mas. It has nothing to do with Mr. Dinan kok,” said Layla berkilah.
Leo was bearded, he then had to get out when he reached the fifth floor. Layla continued to climb to the seventh floor. He approached Richard who was always faithful sitting in front of Dinan's room alone. The girl weakly greeted Richard and asked for permission to enter Dinan's room.
“Excuse me, sir, can I go inside?” ask Layla with a weak tone.
“What do you need?” asked Richard curiously without looking at Layla. The man looked busy with the documents in his hands.
“I'm new from Mr. Marc's house. There is a message I must convey to Mr. Dinan.”
Richard smiled at once. He looked at Layla with cynical eyes. “You want to see an angry lion, right? come in, but don't knock on the door.”
Layla doesn't care about Richard's words. All he had in mind was meeting with Dinan and delivering Mr. Marc's message. It would be as angry as what Dinan would be to him, he was resigned to the situation.
Layla approached the door of Dinan's room, without knocking her first, Layla went inside.
‘Braak!!’
Layla's eyes rounded seeing Dinan hit the table firmly.
“You think you came home to say work?” dinan said angrily restrained.
