Love is Noiseless

Chapter 31

“What's up?” dinan asked half-screaming at the call.

“Jenny asked about Layla, Sir,” Richard replied.

“Where is he?” dinan asked with a hunting breath.

“Loh, isn't he already logged in from earlier to inside?” Richard asked back.

Dinan snorted in annoyance, this time he grew angry with the situation.

“Ah, basic useless people,” snaps Dinan with annoyance. The man closed the call.

“Layla! Here!” call Dinan out loud.

Layla gasps in shock because she doesn't think Dinan knows she's in the room. Nervously Layla stepped up, the girl stopped right beside the display and faced Dinan who was looking at her sharply.

“Since when did you learn to eavesdrop on other people's conversations?” asked Dinan with reddened eyes.

“I didn't mean it that way, sir, I just saw you were very serious about the woman, so I don't want to disturb.”

“Can't you go if you don't want to bother me? Why stay there?”

“I-it ..” Layla stamped, do not know what answer.

“Now go, my emotions are not good to talk to you,” Dinan prefers to expel Layla. The girl immediately left for fear that Dinan would vent his heartache on her.

Richard drove his car in traffic. Dinan sat in the back and looked at some of the reports coming in that day. Their work is still as usual, nothing has changed. It was just that at that time Dinan's mind was not calm about something. That is the orphanage land that is still not clear to sit the case.

“You have new information about the landowner, Chard?” ask Dinan suddenly.

“There was a woman who turned the inn into an orphanage, sir. The woman rented land belonging to the Barata family for her lodging business. Then for some reason, the woman turned him into an orphanage. The representatives of the Barata family at that time approved it and its management was given to the Princess Gemala Foundation. The person from the Barata Family donated the land to the Foundation without the consent of the other families. That's where the trouble spot is.”

“So that guy who put us in a difficult position like now?”

“He's the key to us winning that land, sir. The land must have been his personal property, so he could give it to the foundation. The Barata only want to take the land from us because they have the status of heirs of that person, ” Richard explained.

“Heirs? is that person dead?” ask Dinan seriously.

“Iya, Sir. It makes us even more difficult now.”

“Then what kind of woman did you say? he can be a key witness if the land has been donated to the foundation.”

“We're investigating, sir. It was hard to find information about him. I have also met the mother of the orphanage, she knows nothing because she only works for the foundation, not the Barata family let alone the woman.”

Dinan exhaled a rough breath. “Now can we win if in the end we fail to get those guys, Chard?”

“Small, Sir. The Barata family is certainly ready with all proof of their ownership.”

“Actually Jenny offers a very profitable thing, Chard,” said Dinan slightly shifted their discussion.

“Favorable, Sir?”

“We can get that land without having to conflict with them. That way, everything we fear won't happen. My name won't be judged ugly because of that problem. Also it will be an opportunity for us to get some of the Barata family business to increase the value of the company to a higher level.”

“He asked Dad to marry him?” Richard tried to guess.

“Yes, and now I'm thinking of doing it.”

Richard's face suddenly turned sour. He hated what Dinan had just said.

“Did you forget what he did first? Do you still love that lowly woman?” asked Richard in a dislike tone.

“Love?” dinan asked with a bitter smile, “hatiku has long since he and his family betrayed me for that man. I'm just thinking about the future, Chard. I need a wife to status and strengthen my image. Moreover, he is from the Barata family, I will be even stronger at the top of Marc Property. Also the future of my company, my son of him will be a great leader because he comes from two distinguished families.”

“I'd rather Father with Layla,” said Richard flatly. “He can we use as we like, if you need status, Layla is enough, if you need children, Layla can also give birth.”

“You're kidding, Richard?” dinan asked half a laugh, “that's the same as dropping my name for marrying a regular employee. And if I had a child with him, it would be tantamount to destroying the prestige the Marc family had. A woman who doesn't know who her father and mother are, who is her family background, what kind of child can I expect from her? If he can use it for the long term, I definitely won't keep this marriage a secret, Chard. I want to throw it away without dirtying my hand. That's why I hid all this. I'm still waiting for an opportunity to attack dad by using Layla.”

“But if you are with Jenny, marriage with her will only make you hurt,” explained Richard in his opinion.

 “It's not about the wedding you imagined, Chard. It's about business and hegemony. I will not get married without any profit for me,” said Dinan emphasized.

Richard simply listened with eyes full of dislike. The man will not let Jenny enter the life of Dinan that was destroyed by the woman.

“I wasn't serious just now, Chard. I was just thinking about Jenny's offer,” Dinan said slowly. “by the way Jenny asked what about Layla?” asked Dinan who remembered the incident earlier this afternoon.

“She asked Layla who she was, because she was sure not just anyone could enter your room like Layla. But you take it easy, I can make sure he does not suspect Layla.” at all

Dinan nodded slowly listening to Richard's explanation.

***

At the apartment, Layla was busy preparing dinner. The girl has been cleaning the house since she left the office. Also finished bathing and tidying up his appearance after tired all day work. Layla is busy sauteing vegetables. In her mind was the scene of the incident last afternoon when Jenny held Dinan's hand.

Layla wonders, who is Jenny really? Why did Jenny ask Dinan to get married? Is Jenny Dinan's ex? All those questions revolved around Layla's mind. Unfortunately, there was no answer he could find. Even to ask Dinan he was also scared.

Layla suddenly hit the frying pan with the spatula she was holding. Why would he feel dislike if there was another woman holding Dinan? Even he himself, who lived in the same company as Dinan, could never hold the man's hand - unless Dinan held the hand first.

“Don't stop her beautiful, rich kid from Barata family, and then she flirts with husband like that. Does he think with his status as a rich man's son, he can snatch someone else's husband?” maki Layla hits the pan with a spatula again.

Layla suddenly grimaced. He did lose everything to Jenny, even in comparison, they were obviously on a different level. “Did Mr Dinan like that woman? didn't he just throw her out?” ask Layla again.

Moments later Layla picked up a glass bowl and poured her vegetables. Now he can smile a little. “Which obviously I'm much better at cooking than him. The proof is that Mr. Dinan always eats my cooking with greed,” Layla said a little more optimistically than before.

Until finally the woman was surprised by the sound of notifications from her phone. Soon Layla took her phone out of her pants pocket. The name ‘Mas Bayu' with emoticons love on the screen of his phone. Jayu just sent him a message.
