Chapter 10

"W-what?! ". shouted layya as soon as he heard the words spoken across the phone.

"that's layya? earlier, the manager was contacted by Imperial's own assistant if the cooperation can be continued, sir Kevin also has accepted because there is no reason to refuse? ".

Layya gritted her teeth growling in annoyance.

"there's no excuse? the reason is clear, right, he decided the contract as good as his will and now he is back to continue his contract, is there no other CEO se plin plan him? ". layya shouted angrily even her two children who were in the living room were watching their favorite animated film as they looked towards the kitchen where layya there with a cooking apron on the front of her body.

"him? you seem to know the CEO of imperial layya for a long time? ". nadia's confused voice was clearly heard.

"already, I'm going to leave after finishing this". Layya turned her body to look at her son's unprepared food just stay on the stove.

"but Mr. Kevin said you could go directly to the imperial company, to validate the initial contract".

"wait, sir Kevin didn't apply for a new contract? just an initial contract?".

"yes? The imperial CEO himself said there was no need for a new contract, because the design still remains their initial design".

Layya gnashed her teeth.Syly, the man was cunning.

"layya...? ". call nadia who hears layya not saying it anymore.

Layya took a breath.

"is that not the case, nadia...? at least I can apply some conditions especially for not myself who intervened to monitor, I can monitor occasionally not me who intervened like the initial contract".

"oh for that you take it easy, Mr. Kevin does not allow the company to accept the project for you before the cooperation with imperial is completed".

Layya fused her brows.

"oh yeah? imperial added a 20% cooperation fund to our company for yesterday's problems".

Layya grunts.

"to bribe? ".

"for their apologies and mr. kevin is happy, in addition.they allow our company to participate in the tender of the swiss imperial layya hotel, 60% of the victory will be on our side! isn't this a matter of bringing profit?! ". nadia cheered cheerfully while layya grew clueless.

'what does the man want?'. layya growled.

'I was here because I was interested in the project and with them looking at my design results they would accept for our company to tender but if now they have allowed our company to tender even before my design they saw, wasn't this like an insult to me as a designer...? what did that man mean.?'. layya again growled.

"later I call again, give my regards to all". said layya look hunted.

"wait layya, mr. kevin sent you to the imperial today for a minute to check everything and then your holiday remains valid, just to check".

Layya growling.

"demand CEO imperial?". furious layya almost want to break his phone.

"kok you know? ".

"i'll be there". click. layya turned off hpnya turned to look at his two children who were cool playing while watching.he flipped the body continued his work delayed cooking.

💓💓💓

At 10:04

With a cold and flat face there was absolutely no hospitality or smile there for one to be able to greet him.

Layya stepped in the imperial lobby with the gazes of the employees there who were no stranger to them.

Layya's step stopped right at the reception desk.he should be able to directly take the elevator to the room where the room is in his responsibility but before that, he needs to meet someone first. the one who made him come back here.he thought his life would be free and safe from the man but in fact?.

"good morning ma'am? how can we help you?".why is there a woman who Layya knows her name dila.

"where is the owner of this building? ". he does not need to ask to contact Rayyan or.make an appointment to meet the man.

"yes? "

"well, what floor is your CEO's room on? ".

"euhmmm..sorry mom? but..do you have an appointment? the problem here is, we can't say if there's no appointment with Mr CEO! we can get fired, let me call the CEO secretary first and make an appointment, can I? ". ask her heart because she knows who the woman standing in front of her is a designer who is working with this company but still if there is no appointment then can not meet with their CEO, except for 3 people, the CEO's mother and father.

Layya sighs tired.this is the first time he who took the initiative first wanted to meet with a CEO.

"well tell me I'm designer Zunaira wants to meet with Mr. Rayyan Zeki adryatama".

Dila was stunned by the woman in front of him who called their CEO's name very completely and implied annoyance there. is the gossip true?.

"oh...all right, wait a minute, ma'am? ". said dila nervously.he pressed a few buttons there and waited for his call to come in.

Layya eyes pierce around the lobby, no matter the gaze of the employees who pass there or, just look at the side of the elevator that just opened and out some employees add to the existing crowd just to see it. What is going on here? do they know who it is?.

Layya's eyes jerked when she saw someone she knew and just got out of the elevator and it seemed like the elevator was different from the other two lifts.he turned to look at the dila who was still waiting for the phone to connect.

Layya grabbed the object from her ear to turn off the call while putting a thin smile on her face staring at Dila.

"i don't think it's necessary anymore, you can continue your work, morning also dila". Layya's smile before passing left a confused dila added a friend beside her who gawked.

The sound of high heels layya dabbled beautifully in the ears of the men who looked at him full of charm to it also with aldi who from earlier stopped his steps when he saw from a distance the designer he just knew stepped towards him.

"morning mr aldi? ". welcome layya as soon as she arrives in front of the company's assistant.

"oh..morning is also Miss Zunaira".

Layya smiled sweetly and thinly.

"it just so happens that you came and I don't need the receptionist's help here so..can you ask for your help? ".

"help... what? ".

"i want to meet the irresponsible CEO of the imperial as well as the plan, can you tell me where the office is? oh of course you don't have to accompany me there because it looks like you are very busy". Layya's eyes look at the file on aldi's chest.

Aldi blinked his eyes, digesting word for word that the woman in front of him said.a second later he was willing to laugh but.

"there on the 11th floor, to the left, a straight path there will be one large brown double-leaved door inside there is your secretary rose bus..".

"thank you, aldi? please continue your work again". layya stepped past aldi. aldi flipped staring at the back of layya who stepped into the elevator.

'looks like it's gonna be exciting? should he delay his departure first? '. aldi fondles.

Layya opened the door just as aldi said.

Seeing the door open Rose suddenly looked at the door and immediately made her eyes widen.

"euhmmm, the CEO inside? ". layya did not know what to call. she closed the door behind her slowly.

Rose turned her head staring at the door of their superior room.following the gaze of the woman she knew named rose. layya smiled.

"thank you, huh? ". said layya as she put on her friendly smile and stepped into the door.

"but.. ". had Rose finished her words Layya had already opened the door.

Ckleck...

Layya opened the door wide and the first one she saw was Rayyan who was struggling with the file in front of her on her desk.

Feeling someone enter without knocking on the door first. Rayyan can guess if not the papi then his mom but who would have thought once his gaze rises staring at the door...the few days of success made him withdraw his own words.

Leaning to the back of his chair looked at the woman in front of him with their distance of 6 meters more because it was blocked by his work desk, a spacious sofa chair and a spacious room.

"oh...welcome designer Zunaira...or..designer Layya Zunaira? ".

"i've always wondered how a cold, ruthless imperial CEO works, but who would have thought? today I could see with my own eyes". layya stepped slowly in after closing the door.she stepped into the curtain-covered glass window.

"a famous designer came to see my workspace, a very amazing thing, look, who knows can be an inspiration for your design.

Layya flipped over briefly looking at Rayyan before she opened the curtain and looked out the window that showed the city streets.

"this color is you because the design of this room is in your room, the impression of cruel, cold and stifling as you and you think..all humans are just like you? they will choose a calm and comfortable feel, ah one more? there is no inspiration that can be taken from your room unless you want to make a haunted house". said Layya while stepping to see the rayyan room.

Rayyan growling.

"are you here to make me angry? ". rayyan was still faithfully staring at layya from her work chair.

"it's good to hear that "because you were the one who made me have to come back here again.

"if you don't accept then you can submit a contract cancellation to us".

Layya stopped the movement of her hand that was willing to grab the collection of items on the nightstand.

'yes, that's what the guy wants, why can't I know? that way he won, his company's good name is fine but not for his company'.

"ray? have you ever heard the word lick your own saliva? ". layya flipped to stare at rayyan with both her hands folded on her chest.

Rayyan's eyes looked sharply squinted towards Layya. she knew the meaning of this woman.

"i didn't think you could swallow your own words Ray? ". layya took a leisurely step in rayyan's workroom with her head looking into the decor of rayyan's room.

Rayyan was relaxed.

"are you done talking? ". rayyan got up from his chair and stood in front of his desk leaning there with both hands folded and legs crossed staring at Layya calmly like never before. he knows now this woman is here to piss him off and then he's really gonna break their contract.

Looking at Rayyan's calm gaze, made Layya snort then she smiled.

'does this guy think I don't know what he wants? played me? let's see, who survives, I'll make you die furious in your own company'. Layya's eyes became sharp and full of emotion.

Layya stepped to the door.

Rayyan put her eyebrows together seeing this.

'did this woman come here just to say it? then leave? '.

Before opening the door layya turned to look at Rayyan.

"i just want to say that I will check again Monday, because in the next few days I am off work, at least I did not breach the contract?.excuse me Mr. CEO ". layya gave a friendly smile to Rayyan whom she deliberately forced.

Brakhc...

The sound of the door slam that Layya deliberately did. at least he could vent into his.

"is it done, ma'am? ". ask rose as soon as layya is in Rayyan's secretary's room.

"oh yeah, sorry to bother you".

"not at all". rose suddenly nodded.

"excuse me, continue your work"

"want to check out the meeting room? ".

Layya nodded.

"oh.welcome to work Miss Zunaira ". rose smiled sumrigah.

"same together". replied Layya after a small laugh.he thought what a problem.

"that's ma'am... ". rose stopped Layya's steps to open the door.

"yes?! ". tanya layya turned to look at rose.

"lunch in the cafeteria is great! did mom...want to try it? I'll be looking for mom".

Layya seemed to think for a while before answering.

"what about next time? today can't be". Because I've got an appointment somewhere else.

"oh well, I'll wait".

"hm". layya's smile then steps out.
