Part 59 # Out of Plan
Mahya’s body trembled as she saw Seno and Olivia approaching. It wasn’t a trembling of euphoria or joy at meeting these two familiar figures, but… Mahya’s body trembled with disgust and an inability to accept the fact that Seno was truly flaunting his debauchery in front of the masses.
“Y-you,” Seno stuttered as he saw Mahya, who was so ingrained in his memory.
“Ah! Let me introduce, this is Mahya, one of our best reporters in the office,” James began to approach Mahya. His instinct as a man seemed to dominate his reptilian brain, as Seno looked at Mahya with a gaze that James also understood the meaning of.
“Ah, Mahya, yes…” Seno pretended not to know her well, although James also knew that they had been involved in an accident some time ago. The accident had caused James to lose $1000 in an instant, so he was truly angry at Mahya.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
As James thought about it, he cursed himself more. How could his rational mind as a boss change in an instant as a love-thirsty man? James truly didn’t understand the logical reason for his change in attitude.
“Nice to meet you, Sir. Sorry, I couldn’t properly introduce myself earlier,” Mahya said, pretending to be casual like Seno. They seemed to understand each other that the embarrassing incident at the restaurant didn’t have to be known by everyone.
Mahya also didn’t want James to know that she did everything to dig up information for her friend. However, Mahya had to play it cool and perfect.
“Hello! I’m Olivia. It’s been a while, Mahya…” Olivia extended her hand to shake hands with James and Mahya, although… James was actually her target.
“What if we sit in that corner to get to know each other better?” James suggested, looking back. There, an empty sofa seemed to have just been vacated by other guests. Some leftover glasses and snacks were still there.
“Ah, sorry, I have urgent business after the speech,” Mahya said, bowing her head. James felt puzzled. Seno and Olivia exchanged glances. They also didn’t feel happy spending time with James and Mahya.
“Too bad, maybe we can chat another time,” Olivia pretended to be disappointed. In fact, she wanted to find Lara quickly and show off her husband who had fallen into her clutches.
“Alright, see you later,” Mahya said, waving her hand. She hurried away from those two cunning foxes and looked for Lara. It seemed that Lara had attended this event earlier, but… Mahya lost track of her.
Meanwhile, Lara still felt heartbroken and also physically unwell as her stomach suddenly cramped. Lara groaned in pain but… it was unbearable!
“Sir! Take me to the hospital,” Lara said later.
“Alright, Ma’am!” The driver immediately complied with Lara’s request after glancing from the front mirror. His employer looked in pain and didn’t stop grimacing from the pain that afflicted her. “Hang in there, Ma’am. We’ll be there soon,” he said as he continued to drive the vehicle.
Lara tried to alleviate her pain, but she couldn’t. “Arrgh….” Lara groaned even louder. The driver panicked and immediately accelerated the vehicle to go faster.
Lara’s mind was disturbed by the events at the reunion. How could Seno, her husband, be with a homewrecker like Olivia instead of accompanying her? It truly shattered her heart and her self-worth.
Lara didn’t know anymore how to deal with her husband’s infidelity. It seemed… Bi Yani’s words were right. Lara had to end this hellish cycle that made her life miserable.
Wealth and riches couldn’t alleviate the pain of her husband’s betrayal. It truly hurt her.
“Ma’am! We’re almost there!” The driver continued to focus on driving the car, which was supposed to be Seno’s private vehicle. Lara’s husband transferred the vehicle to Lara so she could travel freely without having to call uncontrollable ride-sharing taxis.
Actually, not only the accessibility function, but also the control function was executed by her husband. Seno wanted to know wherever Lara went and the people she met. He wanted to know every move of his wife so she wouldn’t escape his radar.
“Doctor! Doctor! Help!” The driver immediately called the doctor on duty at the emergency room to help Lara, once they arrived at the hospital.
“Where’s the patient?”
“Here, Doctor!”
The doctor immediately instructed the medical staff to lift Lara and move her to the examination room. There, Lara was immediately treated with care.
The doctor tried to calm down the driver and gave information to Lara, “Ma’am, we will soon conduct further examinations to determine the cause of the stomach cramps you are experiencing. Please remain calm.”
Lara could only nod weakly, her face pale from the ongoing pain. Several nurses and doctors moved quickly, conducting various tests and examinations needed. Every second felt so long for Lara, while the driver waited outside the room with unspoken fear.
“Is… is my lady going to give birth?” The driver anxiously asked the passing nurse.
“Sorry, we don’t know yet. Please remain calm; we will inform you soon,” the nurse said again.
The driver looked panicked. He trembled. “I-I have to contact Sir,” he muttered determinedly. The driver then searched for his phone in all pockets… found it. The phone was in the back pocket. He immediately pressed his employer’s number and reported everything.
Meanwhile, at the reunion event, Olivia continued to show off Seno to her friends. Everyone praised him, although they were unaware that Seno was actually a married man. His private life was rarely exposed in the media.
“You must always smile, Seno, if you want our agreement to end perfectly,” Olivia whispered to Seno, who seemed tired of all her tricks.
“Your time will soon be up. You better tell me what you know about that secret factory! Or…”
“Or?” Olivia taunted Seno and his threatening tricks. In terms of manipulation, Seno was still far behind Olivia.
“I won’t let you live peacefully, Olivia! You know, I’m a crazy dog,” Seno growled and forced a cold smile for a shameless woman like Olivia.
“We’ll see later.”
They were still trapped in a cold war that had yet to find its end. Olivia acted indifferent and continued to show false affection to her friends, while Seno became more disgusted and wanted to leave the place.
“Why hasn’t Lara shown up since earlier?” Olivia muttered. Lara should have been the most hurt person today. Olivia felt like a failure when she found out that there was no commotion due to this dramatic action. What had actually happened?
But before Olivia could investigate further, Seno suddenly turned pale.
“Seno!” Olivia called out, but the man didn’t answer and just ran towards the gate.
“Seno!” Olivia called out again, this time louder. She truly didn’t understand Seno’s sudden change in behavior. A call he received seemed to have shaken him. Olivia had to find out the truth.
