Frank wasted no time and immediately went to his Great Lord's new resting house. Two hours later he arrived and saw the Great Lord enjoying his time with his wife.
"Master"
"Oh, Frank, where have you been? I've long wanted to tell you something pleasant" replied the Big Lady.
"I'll be happy to hear it later Madam. Now there's more important news than that"
"What is more important than ... " It's not over the Great Mistress spoke, Mr. Harold stopped her.
"Say!"
"Young Miss will serve as Deputy Director of the company from the day after tomorrow"
For a moment there was only the sound of the roar of wind heard in Frank's ears.
"really?"
"Yes Madam"
"Did he speak for himself? With mouth?"
"I've made sure of it"
The sound of the wind returning was filling Frank's ear cavity as the Great Lord began to walk away from his wife. Quickly, Frank followed his Master and listened to what he should do.
"Prepare well. Call Leonard back to guard him!"
"Shouldn't I be ... "
"No. I want you to stay with me. Let him find himself with a new man"
Despite the weight, Frank was forced to obey the will of his Great Lord.
"Good Sir. I'll call Leonard home"
"And prepare Zahid's resignation and divorce"
"But Sir, Mr. Zahid also ... "
"I knew. The boy is talented. But he kept my daughter in the dark for a year and took other women to every official corporate event. Do you think I'll forgive all that"
"I'll get everything ready" Frank said, then walked away from his Great Lord. After saying goodbye to his great mistress, Frank contacted his loyal men and told him to go home.
"There's work"
"I'm enjoying my life Frank"
"Let go of everything. Young Miss needs you"
"really? I'm leaving today"
"Be prepared! There are a lot of people you know here"
"I'm ready to face it all"
Frank hung up the phone and smiled. Leonard, his men who had been looking after Young Miss from childhood until adolescence finally returned. Only the boy can Frank entrust the safety of his Miss Layla.
Layla chooses to walk home from the cafe where she meets Frank. He enjoyed his last moment being able to enjoy the roadside atmosphere he had always wanted to experience. The phone went inside her phone, and it was from Raya.
"Where are you now?" tanya Raya immediately.
"I'm taking a walk"
"Heard you were forced to live in a house with your husband?"
"Yes"
"Then?"
"Then what?"
"Layla, honestly. What have you been doing up to this point?"
"Nothing" Layla replied and recalled the kiss she had with Mr. Zahid some time ago.
"Lying" the accusation.
"really. I'm walking alone right now and want to buy something that looks good"
"Whatis that? You're where? I'll pick you up as long as you buy me too"
"All right"
Layla ended up at one of the roadside food stalls and started ordering two servings of snacks that seemed to be famous. Despite queuing for a few minutes, he did not mind. After obtaining her order, Layla went to the parked Raya's car some distance away. They ate together in the car and felt it was a luxury.
"Enak"
"Yes. They should have sold in a better place"
"Raya, I have something to talk about"
"I have to quit my job now"
"What?"
"I'll be working in my father's company from the day after tomorrow"
"What??? Did ya? Are you ... ready?"
Ready it? Not likely. Layla is not someone who is very good at handling a company. Moreover, the company had been in good hands all this time. While her? just a child in that world.
"I have to be ready"
Raya stopped chewing and looked towards Layla intensely.
"Actually, Zahid did a good thing until now. Then why are you?"
"Yes"
"I mean. In addition to the news of his affair, Zahid continues the chair of the company's leader well"
"Yes. Indeed"
"Can't you hold it anymore?"
"What?" Layla did not understand the question of her best friend.
"You can't hold back that jealousy anymore?"
"No. Of course that's not the reason. I. ... instead want her to be happy with the woman she wants"
"Are you crazy? Don't you like it?"
"I .. can't hold it any longer. I'll take over the position of Director of the company and divorce Mr. Zahid"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. I've never been this sure"
His friend said nothing more. And the two of them could only stare at each other in silence.
"You must be really strong Layla. Maybe this time it's stronger than you've ever imagined" Raya advised after a few minutes had passed.
"Yes"
Raya drove Layla home to Mr. Zahid.
"Oh, this is the house you told me about?"
"Yes"
"Good taste of your husband. Uh, sorry"
"It's okay. I'll go home first. Thanks for dropping off, boss"
"yeah. It's over the days when I can scold you"
Layla smiles and closes the door of Raya's car and sees her best friend leaving. He walked over to Zahid's house and went into it. There was no one in the house. Not even the shadow of her husband and mother-in-law existed. Where did everyone go? Layla took a breath and went to the room upstairs. All he saw was an empty room.
Seeing the warm bed, Layla began to feel sleepy. He put his bag on the floor and went up to the bed. It was so warm, different from the sofa he slept on last night. He soon fell asleep. Not knowing that her husband came home from forcing her mother home and then slept next to Layla.
A few hours later, Layla opened her eyes and yawned wide. He moved his body to lie on his left side and looked at the black eyes that were staring at him.
"Oh" He just wanted to get up and get out of bed when the man started talking.
"Don't go. You just sleep here. I ... won't do anything to you"
Won't do anything? Layla felt a stone pressing against her chest as her husband spoke like that. But he has to be ordinary.
"What's Miss Hannah?"
"I forced him home"
"When Lady Hannah must be tired"
"Don't talk about my mom. Sleep again! I'm going downstairs"
Layla saw the man rise from the bed and walk away. He better talk about something he decided.
"I'll take up a position in the company"
The man stopped walking and turned around.
"really?"
"Yes"
"Why all of a sudden?"
"Because I want us to get divorced soon"
Eventually, those words slid out of Layla's mouth. All this time he never imagined going to talk like that because he still hoped there would be a miracle in their relationship. But now he's giving up. He's just gonna be Layla Graham. Not Zahid Abassy's wife.
