Your silence is killing me
EP.59 New Residence

After arranging a divorce with James, Lyra was quite self-aware and out of the mansion. He also left James's card and only brought his belongings. Slowly Lyra brought her belongings to the new apartment Santi had bought.

Little by little and he cicil every day, until everything has been collected in the apartment. And from today Lyra will move into the apartment. James has received a divorce warrant from the court.

Santi and Dion came and brought him some fruit. They also distributed food for thanksgiving for Lyra's move to nearby apartment residents.

"Thank you San, Dion, you're always there at any time" Lyra said.

"Lyra we're like family." said Dion.

"Yes, don't hesitate." said Santi.

It turns out that the new place is better than the big, luxurious house that only leaves a wound in Lyra's memory. The new thing he hopes will change the course of his life and become more colorful.

The neighbors are fine too, and who would have thought Kenzo was Lyra's neighbor.

"What's wrong?" kenzo asked out of his apartment when someone knocked on the door.

"ee..Prof lives here?" ask Lyra.

"Is that right, you live here too?" ask Kenzo

"I've just moved in, and I want to give some food to the neighbors" Lyra said.

"Thank you Lyra, I didn't know you were moving in here. Would you stop by?" ask Kenzo.

"Maybe next time, yeah because one thing or another I'm moving here" Lyra said.

"Because we're neighbors and I'm your senior, if there's anything to tell me, I can definitely help you" Kenzo said.

"Thank you prof. it will help me a lot" said Lyra then resigned.

Lyra told Santi and Dion. Both are very surprised but also happy, because they know Kenzo is very good with Lyra. And Lyra can ask for her help if anything happens. Because it will be a long time if Lyra asks for help Santi or Dion who lives a little far from there.

Meanwhile, in his office James also headed furious about Lyra's actions. He is upset half-dead at Dimas who is assigned to report everything but instead helps Lyra.

"Dimas, you know you've made a terrible mistake" James said.

"I know sir, and I apologize" Dimas said, then giving a letter of resignation followed by other bodyguards.

"What the fuck are you guys??" ask James.

"You shouldn't hurt the woman you're protecting. Moreover, miss a good and sincere person." said Dimas then left the room James without caring the former master was rampaging inside.

Ben just sighed and calmed James. What Dimas said was true, James should have protected him with all his might instead of hurting him.

"What Dimas said was true, and that's a fact" said Ben leaving James.

"You're following along too?? you want me to fire?" ask James.

"James as your friend I'm just being honest, fire me if you want, this job isn't the only one in the world" Ben said, leaving James alone.

For Ben free to talk to James who is struggling and can attack anyone. Ben chose to go and ask Dimas directly and carefully.

"Dimas wait." said Ben.

"What's up, sir?" ask Dimas.

"What's really going on lately?" ask Ben.

"I'm not going to punish you, so tell me honestly" Ben said.

Dimas tells the truth about how they saw Lyra suffering so much they wanted to help her. Even after knowing the facts, Lyra seemed unable to cover up her pain and disappointment. And they also talked about spying on James.

"Good work Dimas, you did well" said Ben.

"Why do you praise me." said Dimas.

"Well, if so, we say hello to you" said Dimas.

"I'd recommend you a new job" Ben said to Dimas' surprise.

"But why sir?" ask Dimas.

"You are loyal and kind guards. I don't think what you're doing is wrong, no matter how unfair the affair is to me" Ben said.

"Thank you very much" said Dimas.

Ben agrees to Dimas' move, because he hates infidelity. And if James wasn't his friend maybe he'd hit him in the face. Whatever the reason, James shouldn't have married Bella without talking to Lyra.

Now, Ben was no longer able to advise James as before. He has always been arrogant and annoying since marrying Bella. But fortunately, Ben will soon resign because there are new responsibilities. Where finally his uncle who holds all the property of his parents his life will not be long according to the doctor and is now dying.

Of course Ben will return to be the successor to his family, because his uncle has no power to fight him as the rightful heir let alone pass it on to cousin Ben.

.

.

Ben came to his uncle today.

"O uncle, how are you?" ask Ben.

The uncle was silent and could not speak. Only his eyeballs were moving to look at Ben.

"I know this is west for uncle, so just let go and sleep in peace. I guess you've had enough instead of enjoying my father's fortune?" said Ben smiling.

His uncle's eyeballs glared irritatedly but could do nothing.

"Uncle, the more you hold it the more you will also be tormented.. So just let go and calm down. After all, from the beginning it was clear I was the original owner, and uncle was also satisfied to make me a subordinate of others." said Ben smiled.

"I just hope that uncle doesn't feel pain anymore and leaves quietly. For my cousins don't worry because I'll give them jobs to their abilities" Ben said.

Ben left the ICU after saying so. He believes his uncle has accepted his sentence. One day his uncle was pronounced dead. Ben will automatically replace him according to his father's will.

.

It seems not enough with Lyra who is suing for divorce, now James will also be abandoned by Ben who has always been loyal so far.

"What the fuck is this Ben?" ask James.

"James don't you know everything about me more than anyone, and my uncle is gone so I automatically have to go back to my place" Ben said.

"Why is this sudden?" ask James.

"I spoke 3 months ago, and earlier this month I submitted my resignation letter" Ben said.

"But you haven't even given me your replacement yet" Ben said.

"You're the one who's not working hard.. Look at this pile of documents, and the blue ones are my choice to take my place" Ben pointed out.

"But I need you, Ben." said James.

"My dad's company needs me too" Ben said.

"I'm sorry, James, I didn't mean to leave you in difficult times, but you also know I've been waiting for 20 years" Ben said.

"Alright." said James with a look of annoyance.

"Thank you for your understanding" said Ben.

Ben is only a few days away from working with James. He had also read some files from his father's company that he had to learn.

"Now just look for Daphne." murmured Ben.
