LOVE THE RECEPTIONIST

47. Debates

"Ru, I'm ahead, Leon is waiting for me at the parking lot" said Monaliza. He took his briefcase at the bottom of the desk, and kept his phone in his bag after he had received Leon's call.

"Alright, be careful on the road, yes" said Rullina as she tidied the books on her desk and kept them in her top drawer.

"Stop!"

Monaliza immediately stopped her half-run steps down the concrete stairs towards the parking lot when she heard the familiar baritone voice in her ears. He turned to the direction of the sound, swallowed his saliva, when he saw the man who had been arranging it all day was stepping closer to him with his flat gaze.

Rullina who was preparing to go home and finish her things raised her head, and also looked towards the arrival of the voice. He saw the owner of the baritone voice approaching Monaliza near the parking lot.

"Yes Mr Dirga, you call me?" monaliza asked after the CEO was only a few meters away from where he stood.

"What are you chasing until you run like that?" He asked back, and stopped right in front of Monaliza who felt awkward facing him.

"I-I'm in a hurry sir, because it's been picked up," said Monaliza a little nervous.

"You're careless, don't be like that anymore, how about you fall down? That's very dangerous. Remember, in your body there is my flesh and blood that you must take good care of," said Dirga with a serious look at the receptionist.

Monaliza looked left and right, worried that if anyone would hear her boss, they might think nothing of her, what else to know if she has conceived a subsidiary owner of the company where she works.

"Are you scared when someone hears it?" dirga said as if he knew the contents of Monaliza's head.

Monaliza looked at Dirga's face awkwardly, yet she had time to say something, someone suddenly grabbed and clasped her hand tightly while standing close to her side.

"L-Leon?" lirih Monaliza's. He was a little nervous, worried that Leon was listening to Dirga's words, he didn't want Leon to misunderstand, and thought nothing of it.

"I was waiting for you from Mona, let's go home now," said Leon looked at Dirga at a glance and turned to Monaliza who was a little surprised to realize his presence.

"Well," said Monaliza still nervous. He glanced at Dirga and turned back to Leon.

"Sir Dirga, we're saying goodbye." Leon said to Dirga who was looking at him, he then turned around while holding Monaliza's hand to go with her to the car

"I hope this time you can take good care of the woman beside you, Mr. Leon, because there are two lives that you have to take care of" said Dirga staring at the backs of lovers who walked away from him.

Leon stopped his steps, "Mona, wait in my car, I'll catch up with you soon" Dirga said when he heard Dirga's words that he couldn't ignore.

"But Leon, you don't have to serve it" said Monaliza. He felt uneasy, because Dirga's words just made him anxious, worried that Leon would be furious when he heard his boss say something about his pregnancy. He does not know that Leon is hiding a truth he does not know.

"Don't worry Mona, there's something I've forgotten, I just remembered asking your boss. Wait for me in the car, I'll catch up with you soon" Leon assured.

"Well," Monaliza could only resign, she left the place and headed for Leon's parked car less than twenty meters from where they were standing. After seeing Monaliza move away, Leon approached Dirga who was still staring.

"Take Monaliza, your lover to be my wife, she is pregnant with my child" Dirga said without further ado.

Leon held his breath, how could the damn man know if Monaliza was pregnant, while he just did not know for sure. Is this just a trap, Leon's mind looked at Dirga.

"Don't dream. Is it because I'm not making calculations with you Mr. Dirga, so you're as brave as it is to take it from me" Leon said.

"If it were not for looking at Monaliza who became an employee in this Company, I would have made sure to roll you and your little Company because it has dared to sow your seeds was carelessly diahim my lover," leon continued, still angry.

"Be aware, Mr. Dirga, Monaliza is my lover. He's not Megan, your late fiancee. He just happened to look the same" continued Leon trying to find a way so that the rival did not want Monaliza again.

"I know it's Mr. Leon, and I know it's not easy for you. I beg you to release Monaliza, she already contains my flesh and blood. There is no way you can be with a woman who contains the seeds of another man" said Dirga.

Leon clenched his fists, Dirga's words were too painful for him, like an indiscriminate tormenting his heart.

"Enough!" Leon stared coldly at Dirga's face, his clenched fists seemingly shaking.

"You have made a wrong request to me, Mr. Dirga, I will make you regret your foolish request. I won't hesitate to roll over you and your little company anymore" Leon threatened, his face visibly holding back the almost explosive anger.

"I just want to protect Monaliza, Mr. Leon. Conscious or not, you can't protect her well. Monaliza is not safe by your side, Mr. Leon," Dirga said with emphasis.

"What do you mean Mr Dirga?" leon pressed his voice.

"Monaliza who almost raped the accursed thugs, it had something to do with you sir, and the case was closed just like that. Maybe you wonder why I know, because I made the police report after driving Monaliza to the hospital at that time," Dirga looked at the face of Leon who was still looking at her coldly.

"And on the eve of Mr and Mrs Gamsonrich's birthday party, the drug was deliberately inserted into Monaliza's drink, resulting in an incident in the hotel room, and it also had something to do with you, Mr. Leon,"

"And sadly, Monaliza was always the victim. He's not safe with you, Mr. Leon, too dangerous for him" Dirga said.

"How do you know all that?" leon asked, how could a person like Dirga possibly know.

"I don't need to tell you Mr. Leon. People of your class, who have power may not not know it" said Dirga.

"I'm also not afraid of your threats that are planning to roll me up. I will continue to fight for Monaliza to be my wife. My goal was to preserve the flesh and blood of my mother," after saying so, Dirga unceremoniously left Leon for his car.

Leon's chest rumbled, he tried hard to hold it, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly several times. After feeling quite calm, Leon stepped towards his car where Monaliza still faithfully waiting for him there.
