‘La, I've been in the parking lot, quickly get off,’ Bayu.
Layla looks restless reading a short message from Bayu. She didn't want Bayu to pick her up like that at all anymore. But how else, since yesterday Bayu demanded Layla to explain everything. There was nothing Layla could hide from the man.
Layla hastily left her study. Things that returned to make Emma confused with the behavior of her coworker. Layla seems to have changed since the issue of documents she took in the building manager some time ago.
Soon Layla comes down. Meet Bayu who was waiting for him in the parking lot. The man stood by his car, impatiently waiting for Layla to come and explain everything.

“Do you take care of everything, Chard?”
“Everything is ready, sir. The building on the land was enough to accommodate the orphanage children. The new building will be built starting this weekend and completed within 3 months. Everything is well arranged, I'm calm.”
“You are always reliable, Chard,” praise Dinan to his loyal secretary.
“Now we go to the parlor or directly to the new place, Sir?” ask Richard.
“Wait a minute,” said Dinan, Richard immediately looked at Dinan behind him, he saw Dinan looking at the office door.
Richard also looked. Layla seemed to be running quickly out of there. The girl looked worried about something. Dinan watched Layla with a flat face. Even when Layla approached Bayu. The man still had a flat face. When Layla got into the car door and they left. Dinan still had a flat face. Only Richard smiled cynically.
“Looks like he's just as low as Jenny, I have to pull my lines about him first, sir,” Richard said in annoyance. “Do you want me to teach him a little lesson?” richard asked curtly to Layla.
“No need, we did know from the beginning that he had another man. So this is definitely going to happen.”
Richard growled furiously, “My people watching him reported Layla had met the man twice before, including yesterday afternoon. He has increasingly dared to step on the pride of Mr.”
Dinan was still flat-faced. “Don't mind things that are sure to happen, Chard. From the beginning we knew, let it be. I'm still putting together a plan to use it against Dad.”
“But he's overdue, sir. We now want to take care of the boy she bought at the parlour, but she instead went with another boy for fun.” Richard is still trying to lure Dinan into hating Layla. He does not like if his superior self-esteem is trampled by others. It was as if his pride had also stepped on because of that.
“Now we go to the orphanage, let your people welcome the orphanage children in the new place,” said Dinan gave the order.
Richard silently held back his annoyance. He drove the car out of the office parking lot.
***
Three large trucks and two large buses were parked in front of the orphanage in the middle of the city. Dinan and Richard got out of their car. Noting the workers who are busy lifting things into the truck, also the children who look carefree because they will soon move to a new place.
Some little girls made Dinan fixated on looking at them. Their faces were plain with his glee. Gearing each other's bags, they looked cheerfully welcoming of the new atmosphere. Dinan smiled thinly, just like that of women, they looked innocent, knew nothing and were so innocent. Behind it all, what they displayed was just hypocrisy, they were good at lying, wild and unruly. Like the women that Dinan had known all along, also Layla whom he had seen her dagger.
“Excuse me, Mr. Dinan,” greet Ms. Irma with a smile sumringah.
Dinan turned his body and looked. Ms. Irma lowered her head in a moment of respect, “I am happy to see you again, Mr. Irma, thank you so much for wanting to be a regular donor for our orphanage and give a new place that is much better than our place.”
Dinan just nodded. He has fulfilled all the wishes of Mr. Marc according to his promise. Dinan then walked slowly looking at the state of the land. He passed through the hallway, clashing with people who were busy lifting things into trucks.
“I want to talk for a minute, Buk,” said Dinan to Ms. Irma who followed him.
“What do you want to say?”
“Explain everything you know about this land.”
Ms. Irma was silent for a moment, her hands seemed to tremble. Then he breathed a rough breath.
“All authority is in the hands of the foundation, sir. I was only asked to manage, while assets are taken care of by the foundation,” explained Ms. Irma.
“At least mom must have known the history of this parlour before standing up. Moreover, the mother has served the foundation longer than the age of this home. We need information from mother, about who the original owner of this land.”
“Pak, I don't know about it. If you want to know, you can investigate it to the owner of the foundation.” Ms. Irma confirmed her sentence.
“Who is the person from the Barata family who gave this land as an orphanage?” ask Dinan urgently.
“I don't know, Sir!” Ms. Irma is getting stern.
“Who is the woman who managed the inn here before this home was established?” ask Dinan urgently.
“I don't know, Sir. If I had known, I would have conveyed it to Mr. Richard.”
“Did the Barata family threaten Mom not to open her mouth to us?” Dinan stared intently at Ms. Irma in annoyance.
“I can't answer anything, sir. And this has nothing to do with the Barata.” family Ms. Irma stared fixedly at Dinan.
“Layla how, sir? Is she okay there?”
“He's fine, now mom answer my question earlier.”
“Don't hurt Layla, sir, she's a good boy, I'm afraid because of Layla's unclear family status, making you look at other women who are much clearer in her background than Layla.”
Dinan exhaled a rough breath. It's just that he urged Ms. Irma, the woman won't open her voice.
“That sentence is better I say to Layla. Advise him to know himself, do not glance at other men even if he is not comfortable with me.” Dinan then stood up, leaving Ms. Irma confused by Dinan's words.
“What do you mean by Father? Did Layla cheat on you from you?”
“Realize him while I haven't thought of killing him because of that.” Dinan then left from there, he went out to return to the parking lot.
There Richard was talking to the children who were about to get on the bus. Richard gave a little welcome to the children who were about to move it. Not to forget he advised the orphans to give the best prayers for the company.
Dinan didn't care about that. He decides to get in the car and tells Richard to catch up with him. After a while, they were already on the streets, breaking up the crowd on the streets of the capital.
“What did you say to Ms Irma?” ask Richard when he drives.
“He's still hiding about the landlord. You're after the foundation, Chard. They must have kept documents related to that land.”
“They have proof of land ownership, sir. But the problems in the past that make everything difficult.”
“They do have that, Chard. Therefore they can pawn the land to the bank. The problem now is that the evidence of their ownership that we have obtained can be considered illegitimate if the Barata family can prove that the land is indeed theirs. We must be careful, lest this matter fall into the hands of the law in the near future. That will complicate our position.”
