THE ENTERTAINER
CHAPTER 30
The room with a modern design is full of mahogany chocolate and smells fresh from anything that spreads that scent. The plain patterned floor of shiny marble became Naya's only view when she entered the room inhabited by a person who strongly opposed her presence. Perhaps the middle-aged man who was observing all of Naya's movements was a little curious. Why would a despicable woman find herself?
The middle-aged man who still looked fit as well as handsome despite his gray hair, gave off a sinister aura. While the observed one remained lowered in fear, waiting for his heartbeat to beat normally, so that his head could think clearly and his hands would no longer tremble.
“How dare a woman like you meet me!” The same sound Naya heard in the hospital. There is no hospitality and only hatred.
“Sa-me...” Naya squeezes her cold hand. Naya's time isn't much.
Naya took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly through those pale little lips.
Successfully, Naya's courage again takes over. He raised his head, staring directly at the bead in front of him which was unblinkingly watching him.
“Please don't bother Noah's mother anymore.”
The man fell silent, a second later he laughed out loud, the wrinkled lines on his face printed clear.
“Who are you that dares to rule me, huh?”
“I Naya, the woman who now has a share in the life of your only heir.”
His hand he held tightly, Naya begged that her courage should not run out first. “I will be gone from your child's life, forever. but, I have a condition.”.
Elmer leaned his back, tapped his finger, cuddled.
“I know, you could have killed me by now. Eliminate traces without evidence. But, Mr. Noah will surely know, his hatred for you will deepen. Wouldn't agreeing to my terms make things easier? I myself will leave, and Mr. Noah will return to you.”
Successfully, the middle-aged man smiled slightly.
“What are your terms?”
“First, I don't know what happened, but please unplug all news about mom Noah.” Naya just repeated the words Noah heard.
“Both...” Naya suddenly hesitated. Then he shook his head, convinced himself. After all, there was already no self-respect left. “I need money 150 million.”
Elmer laughed at the second condition. “Very predictable. From the beginning this is exactly what you're after, isn't it? Money from rich man.”
Naya looked down again, her tears reminiscing. It's okay to be laughed at and humbled. Naya tried to strengthen herself.
“Why? Noah didn't pay you enough?”
“Mr Noah treated me very well,” his rebuttal.
Elmer took his phone and called someone.
“Unplug all reports in the media, do not leave any news.”
Naya smiled faintly, she was already helping Noah though with that little thing.
“Leave your account number, tomorrow the money you requested will be sent.”
“No, Sir. I need cash.”
Elmer hardened his jaw. He seems to be starting to dislike.
“Are you playing me, huh?!”
A knock was heard from the door. It was a sign from Rio, that they should leave immediately. Naya's getting nervous.
“I know, you are an honorable person, Sir. People like me are not all bad. We just held on though with very little hope. Mr. Noah is one of the joys that have come my way. A hope that once saved me. Therefore, for someone who is waiting for me, I also want to give that hope.” Naya looked down inside.
Elmer's forehead wrinkled. “What exactly do you want to say?”
”That money is to free my friend. Like Mr. Noah who freed me from the darkness of the night world.”
Elmer was silent, thinking for a moment. Then pressing the button on his armrest, his chair moved back and then turned towards one of the vaults behind his desk. After taking out some money, Elmer approached Naya and dropped the money on her feet.
“This is the last time you show your face in front of me. Understand?”
With tears falling, Naya picked up the money. “Sa-I understand, Mr.”
Naya turned around after thanking him and walked out of the room.
Rio and the beautiful woman in front of him were shocked, Naya was holding a lot of money in her hands. Naya doesn't care what they think. Naya instead smiled sweetly at the beautiful woman and asked for something so that the money could get a container. Although still with a question mark, the woman searched in her desk drawer, and found a brown paper bag. After receiving it, Naya put all the money in and walked towards the elevator. Rio did not ask or say anything.
After arriving at the parking lot, Reno immediately approached them. With a foothold on the deep gas pedal, regardless of the warning sound of other motorists, they tried to get to the hotel before Noah got there first.
---
Two hours ago, in a different place.
“Where is my mother?”
“Already asleep, after taking the medicine, Mr.” A woman in her maid outfit bowed respectfully.
Noah walked towards the larger room.
“How? It worked?”
A man in formal clothes replied. “We are still trying, Mr.”
“Sials. Delete everything. Don't let any news.”
“Siap.” Answer the three officers there at the same time. They were still struggling and focused on their work there, while two other people were busy calling some broadcasting stations.
It had been almost an hour of walking, suddenly someone among them said. “Master, all the news is gone. Broadcasting stations who had insisted on not wanting to take down the news had already deleted from their news portal.”
Noah's body was squeezing. “Finally. Wear this, for dinner.” Noah placed a black card on the table.
Some of the employees looked at each other, until one of them walked over and thanked him while taking the card.
After their boss disappeared from behind the door, they looked back at each other. “While the news is gone by itself, right?
“Sttt. What matters is that our job is done. Rarely is Young Master kind like this.”
They also agreed.
