The King's

Episode 50's

The next morning Layla did not see her ex-husband at all. The man left early in the morning and did not wait for him to wake up. What exactly did he expect? Isn't this what he wanted too? layla thought then sat down at the empty dining table. Not long after the waiter came to prepare breakfast in front of him. Layla chose to be quiet and immediately left for campus.

"You haven't had lunch?" tanya Raya who came to the campus today to pick him up.

"Yet. Can we stop somewhere to eat?"

Raya picked him up right after the second lecture was over. His friend took him shopping. Layla thought this was the right time for her to rest. Only four hours.

"We eat in the shopping mall"

Layla took a sip of the remaining water she used to stifle hunger.

Layla knows the shopping center she entered with Raya. One of his father's buildings. Also keeps memories of his former employer. Not to forget, it is the workplace of Sarah, the woman whose husband put in the hotel on their wedding day. In fact, he was reluctant to go back to this shopping center. But hunger overcame his rejection.

"What do you want?" tanya Raya then invited her to go to the place to eat.

"Anything, that's quick to cook"

They reached the floor where several famous restaurants were located. Raya invites Layla into one of them and immediately orders food.

While waiting for food to arrive, Layla receives a message from her mother. There'll be a company event tomorrow night. Layla was asked to come with her husband.

"Damn" said he

"What???" Layla forgot that she's with Raya now.

"No. Tomorrow there's a company event"

"Would you like to come?"

"Forced"

"Then you shop here. I can definitely choose the most beautiful and best dress for you" Raya said with passion.

"no need. The house people must have prepared everything"

"Ah, right too"

Finally the food that Layla was waiting for came as well. Without noticing how to eat properly, he began to put everything in his mouth. Chew quickly and swallow it.

"Slowly"

Raya tries to warn him but Layla doesn't listen. As her stomach was a bit full, Layla began to enjoy her lunch. He also circled the padangan towards other visitors and found a view that was not pleasant for him.

"Sir Zahid" he said made Raya surprised.

"Who? Zahid Sir? You still call your husband with that call?"

Not hearing Layla's reply, Raya began to focus her eyes toward the sight her friend was in.

There, at another table, about six meters away, Layla's husband, the Graham family's new successor, was having lunch. Not alone but with the two women Layla once knew.

"What the fuck?" great Comment on a shocking situation like this.

Layla did not want to comment. He only wanted to leave this restaurant immediately, if he could from this shopping mall.

"That's the same woman with the problems that happened during your marriage. Don't you? Who's he taking that?"

"Is your husband stupid? At least he could rent a hotel room and hide his concubine there. Why bring the woman and the others in public?"

Layla does not want to respond to all Raya's questions, because she does not know the reason Mr. Zahid met with Sarah and Aunt Martha here. In a crowded shopping center full of people. The face of Mr. Zahid must still be widely known even though he is no longer active in the world of film and drama. L:ayla also repeatedly warned the man not to cause unimportant issues like this.

"Do you still want to shop after this?" layla asked her friend who kept paying attention to Zahid and Sarah.

"What's? why indeed?"

"I can't let the man destroy the company" Layla said, standing up from her seat and walking to the table where her husband had eaten with Sarah and Aunt Martha.

Raya could not forbid it because she understood the burden borne by Layla from birth until now.

"Good day" she said, then featuring Mr. Graham's perfect rich daughter. Luckily today she was wearing a dark blue dress with a simple cardigan that looked elegant.

The three people at the table immediately stopped their laughter and turned their heads towards her.Only Madame Martha who had a surprised expression. While Sarah and her husband gave the impression of being annoyed by being bullied.

"You ... Layla?" ask Mrs Martha.

"Yes. I'm sorry we had to meet at a time like this, ma'am"

"Why do you call me Madam. I should've called you that"

"That's not necessary"

"How can. You're the daughter of company owner Graham Real Estate"

Layla doesn't like to be associated with her father. But this time he had no choice but to patiently accept such a remark.

After a few minutes Layla realized that neither her husband nor the two women in front of her wanted her presence. No one allowed her to sit, but the seat next to her husband was empty. Damn it, Layla thought. What's he supposed to do now?

"We're done with lunch" said the man, standing tall next to Layla. She understood what her husband meant to say. Must be this fucking guy wants him back in the Kingdom.

"really? Too bad. But ... can you go separately?" layla said making the three of them stare strangely.

"That's because the rumors that last involved your daughter and my husband" explains Layla put Ms. Martha to shame. Layla is convinced that Lady Martha is not a fool. Madame Martha must have understood that the figure who was in the hotel with Mr. Zahid was her daughter.

It's just, the welcome that Layla expected because her words were not too pleasant. The proof, now she was pulled away by her husband to the car. The pain began to spread on his shoulder which was firmly gripped by Mr. Zahid.

"You're outrageous" the man said after making her get into the car by force.

Layla fixed her sitting position then looked straight at the road.

"I think I explained to Mr. Zahid. You must not carelessly raise rumors that can destroy the company. You must be aware that each of your actions will affect five thousand employees under you"

Layla imagines her husband will understand like last time. It turns out the estimate was wrong. Mr. Zahid gripped both shoulders and shook Layla like a doll.

"I've done my job. You don't have to interfere in my personal matters. Except ... You're jealous of Sarah" There's a pause that makes Mr. Zahid's voice feel sharp in Layla's heart. He tried to shake his shoulder but could not. All she could do was smile and return her husband's sharp gaze. Layla gets closer to the man's body, like challenging him.

"I am Layla Graham. I've never felt jealous of another woman beside you. Whoever it is"

His words made Mr. Zahid let go violently. He took a breath, trying to calm his heart.

"You're right, you're Layla Graham, Mr. Graham's daughter. Not the woman I know"

Silence was created between the two, making the atmosphere even quieter. Layla no longer wanted to respond to all her husband's words. She's tired. He's tired of being Layla Graham.
