Your silence is killing me
EP.38 Benalu

After delivering Lyra, James saw Lyra enter the hospital until she was not seen again. He seemed to not believe that the little girl he married 4 years ago could change drastically. Now it's like he can't just leave Lyra. As if he did not want to miss the diamond in front of his eyes, it seems James wants to fix the purpose of his marriage.

More and more days, he always managed to be stunned by Lyra. In addition to her beauty, Lyra is also increasingly good at cooking and paying attention to the health of her family carefully. His grandfather who came occasionally was very happy because Lyra always noticed him. And Vina also loves Lyra who brings positive energy to the Clinton family.

For Eva and Ferdinan, both chose to settle in England. Ferdinan kept his promise to his grandfather to watch over his mother and focus on the company. Some of the bodyguards he was assigned to keep his mother from acting recklessly. And Ferdinan worked hard so that his mother would not be lacking to cause trouble in the Clinton family.

Now James and Lyra are having dinner at a restaurant as Lyra promised. Talks that had been delayed because of the busy Lyra and James could finally materialize now. Both of them are staring at the menu book and choosing the menu.

After that they waited for their food to come. And James started their conversation.

"So, someone wants to hang out" James said.

"Just say..if this is about privacy we can discuss in the room right?" ask Lyra.

"You love being in your room, apparently, but I need some fresh air" James said.

"OK. say." said Lyra.

"What do you think of this marriage?" ask James.

"Is there love in our marriage?" reply Lyra with more questions.

"Hmm.. you think?" james asked a question.

"It seems like nothing. We've always been like this.. Do you want to get married again?" ask Lyra.

"What?? there's no love?" ask James.

"Why are you getting angry? am I wrong.?" ask Lyra.

"Yes.you're right.I have to go because there's still business in the office" James said.

"Wait." said Lyra holding James' hand.

"You want to make me eat alone? after I take the time... And this is just to hear you get angry??" ask Lyra upset.

"Ck. well I'll sit back." said James.

"If anything is said, I'm not a shaman or psychic who can guess your mind" Lyra said.

"Hmm.." James replied.

They both ate in silence. There was no talk because James was disappointed in Lyra's answer that he had no feelings for. While Lyra, she feels James is very strange tonight. Either the stress of work or the pressure from his grandfather and mother made it this way.

"Love?? do you love me?? I think that's the most impossible thing in the world." Lyra murmured inwardly.

After dinner, Lyra said goodbye to going back to the hospital because of an emergency call.

"I didn't come home, as usual the hospital called me." said Lyra.

"All right, I'll take you." said James.

"Say you have a job?" ask Lyra.

"It can be delayed" said James.

"Okay, I didn't ask you to." said Lyra.

.

.

.

Along the way James steals a look at Lyra holding her cell phone who sees a report from a nurse about her patient.

"Ckk... What's the matter James?? you're such a freak tonight." said Lyra.

"I'm not ready to part" James said.

"You should talk to a cold head. Not with anger, and at the moment I was in a hurry, I also had to focus on the patient.. Tomorrow we'll talk in the room." said Lyra.

"All right" said James.

Meanwhile, Camila who disappeared for the last 4 years finally reappeared on the surface. He is happy living abroad and taking care of his family business. The goal is only one, learning business in order to get close to James again. Because only work can make James want to talk and meet him.

He who now manages his father's subsidiary also returned to Indonesia with pride and great expectations. In addition to being able to boast of his family, he can also win the heart of James. Because Camila was convinced, James married Lyra just for her grandfather's sake.

Through her private secretary Sandra, she monitors James' company. And don't forget his spies at James's company.

"Sandra how's James' company?" ask Camila.

"Miss, at the moment they are very stable even in the peak period" said Sandra.

"Goodoo. Let's have a relationship with them." said Camila.

"Well miss." said Sandra.

Thus, Camila finally established a partnership with James to meet with James. Because right now James probably doesn't think he's going to inherit his family business.

"You'd be surprised by James." Camila muttered inwardly.

.

.

James agrees to meet Camila's company without knowing who the CEO is. And Ben doesn't know about it either, as Camila changes her identity after her good name is destroyed because her murder plot with Robert is discovered.

Now Camila Benama Bella, and no one knows if her identity has changed except for her family.

And now, Ben is accompanying James to meet Miss Bella at a restaurant in a 5-star hotel. A surprised face was seen from Ben's face, then James just sighed. I don't know if he had a dream last night to meet Camila.

"Miss Sandra, where's Miss Bella?" ask Ben.

"I'm here Ben, long time no see." Bella said.

"Ck.. It's worth it that you dare to appear in this country." said James.

"Don't be rude, James, we're business partners now" Bella said.

"Let's talk about it now" James said, not wasting any time because Lyra was waiting for him at home.

"okay.. Sandra let's start." Bella said.

Their meeting begins, and it appears that Bella and Sandra are stalling and circling, until Ben takes a firm step.

"All right, enough explanation.. If you agree both sides can sign, but if you do not agree we will wait for 3 days" said Ben.

"I agree, we better delay" James said.

"I wanted to sign it right away" Bella said.

"I'm sorry, I think you still have to learn a few more chapters, miss." said James, then got up and left first.

"It's not polite to your master" said Sandra.

"It seems you've ruined his mood. We'd better end it and in 3 days I'll let you know Miss Sandra" Ben said.

"See you soon Miss Bella" said Ben and followed his master who was already in the car.

.

.

Once in the car, James swears rudely and angry at Ben.

"Ben, how could you not know that Miss Bella is Camila..?" ask James.

"Sorry sir, I haven't checked his background in detail because there's not much experience" Ben said.

"Ckk.. just cancel the project with him. I know very well that Camila has ulterior intentions." said James.

"Okay sir." said Ben.

Ben takes James home. And the appearance of Camila brought unrest to James. As she knew Camila brought Benalu's troubles to her life. But now Lyra was waiting for him in the room to talk about their relationship in the future. And James also ruled out the problem of Camila's appearance.
