LOVE THE RECEPTIONIST

31. Figuring Out

"I'm sorry ma'am, last night really didn't have time to tell. Maybe because Monaliza just got out of the hospital and was exhausted, so I had to take Mona back to the hospital" Leon told a lie. He really felt guilty to Bianka's mother for hiding something very big.

"Mona's sick again?!" ask Bianka's mother to panic.

"I-Yes ma'am, I'm sorry, I can't take good care of Mona" Leon stammered. He felt bad for lying, covering up what had happened.

"Please take good care of your daughter Leon, lest something bad happen to her. Since last night my feelings were very bad, I was afraid something bad happened to her, plus Mona and you were both unable to contact me at all" Bianka's mother said in her own voice.

"Pity Mona, since she was a child she has suffered too much. Left by his mother who died, then followed by his father, and had to bear the burden of life, mother, and younger siblings," added Bianka's mother sad to remember the poor daughter.

Leon was stunned, Bianka's mother's words as if slapping her face. Because, something bad has indeed happened to Monaliza, and he who had asked permission to bring Monaliza out of the house was not able to take care of Bianka's mother's daughter well. He felt like a very useless man.

"Yes ma'am, later if Monaliza is better and out of the hospital, I will take her home" Leon said. Her guilt, made her chest feel so tight.

Leon keeps his phone on the nightstand, after Bianka's mother hangs up the phone from him. He ruffled the rough hair that had been neatly combed. He did not know how to tell Bianka's mother what had happened to his daughter. He really felt like a failed man, unable to take care of his own lover.

A notification message sounded, Leon immediately grabbed his phone from the top of the nightstand and opened it immediately. One message about the CCTV footage he asked the hotel manager a few minutes ago.

Leon's eyes did not blink, as he saw a man in the CCTV footage coming to the door of Monaliza's room, seconds after she left Monaliza alone in her hotel room.

With a feeling of annoyance, Leon again ruffled the rough hair. Overnight, in a hurry to fulfill his mother's call, he completely forgot to order his bodyguard to stand guard near Monaliza's room.

Leon Holds his breath as the door the man knocks on repeatedly opens. The man easily ambushed and hugged Monaliza tightly right on the doorstep. For a while there was resistance from the girl, but she could not see completely, because the position of Monaliza and the foreign man was right on the doorstep, part of their body was protected by a wall, and the, because Monaliza was seen trying to get into her room to seek shelter.

Leon's eyelids narrowed and his face was grimacing, his heart was bitter, when watching Monaliza struggle to save herself. He felt like a really useless man.

Until finally, Leon saw the stranger throwing something light object that floated in the hallway of the hotel. "Could it be the sacred thing I saw earlier that the jerk guy threw," Leon murmured in his heart.

Leon pressed his phone screen to stop the video recording he was watching. With quick steps, Leon headed for the door and opened it. He saw what he was looking for was still lying in the hall not far from the canal where he was. After making sure no one was outside, Leon immediately picked up the object he saw before and rushed to bring it in and closed the door tightly.

He also picked up Monaliza's dress which was also still lying behind the door and took her to the nightstand and put it there with the triangular cloth she picked up outside.

Leon resumed his activities watching CCTV footage that had been delayed. He saw another man in the distance who was running towards the door of Monaliza's room. Although her face was faint, she knew that it was Dirga, because her clothes were exactly the same as the one Dirga was wearing when she kicked the man out of Monaliza's room.

Leon could see Dirga pulling the collar of a strange man who was bullying Monaliza, then hitting her jaw and face many times, then pushing and kicking her down the hallway floor. When the man got up and was about to attack Dirga, Dirga again gave his deadly kick to the man's chest, until he slammed into the floor of the hotel hallway. The stranger got up and ran away from Dirga.

"Fucking Dirga!" Leon clenched his fists with his hardened jaw.

"Why do you have to go in, huh?! You should have helped your employees enough that's all!" Leon smacked his fist many times on the nightstand, the pain and pain in his bone books he did not feel.

"Why? Why do you have to touch my woman? She's mine! I'll eliminate you!" Leon's body again sagged, he again cried with pain, lamenting everything that had happened.

Feelings of anger, hate, resentment, and regret, all raging into one. He realized, this was not a dream, but he could not accept all the facts, too bitter, and too bitter for him to accept.

Leon again grabbed his phone lying on the nightstand, he opened the incoming message when he heard there was a notification on his phone.

The hotel manager again sent a list of Waitress's names as well as a photo of herself at Leon's request. He frowned because none of the photographed faces had brought juice to Monaliza last night. He quickly contacted the hotel manager.

"Any one of the photos you gave me, I didn't see the waitress, could it be that the waitress wasn't one of your employees, but someone else went undercover at the party last night?" leon's voice sounded angry and growling.

While there, the manager was already very nervous, his body was hot cold, he felt he did not step on the floor anymore. If indeed there are people who dare to infiltrate the party of his employer, he can already predict, that the career he has built so far with great difficulty will float.

"Now, check the CCTV footage from the hotel kitchen to the party room last night, immediately report to me if you get anything strange in it" Leon ordered.

"One more time, destroy the CCTV footage you sent me a few minutes ago, I don't want anyone watching it, including yourself manager Goo," after saying so. Leon again disconnects his phone unilaterally.

Leon called a different person.

"Hallo sir," came the stern voice of a man on the other end of the phone.

"Find out, who's the woman named Megan, she's fiancee sir Dirga, CEO of Surya Automotive." Leon's orders.

As he recalled, Dirga several times mentioned Monaliza is Megan, her fiance, that's what makes Leon curious. Are Monaliza and Megan the same person? He was a little suspicious because some time ago he had seen a photo of Dirga and a woman similar to Monaliza on Dirga's phone that he found in the elevator, plus Monaliza is a receptionist at Dirga's company, it is not impossible between the two that there could be a relationship that he does not know, he thought.

"Okay sir, soon I'll do it" said the voice of the man across the street.
