That Other Woman, My Mother

That Other Woman, My Mother
43


Looking around, Nayra finally met Alena who was still staring at her. Lips smile. It looks like it will be an interesting meeting.


"Your table's over there, sir."


The voice of a staff makes Nayra's view cut off from Alena. Leo gently pulled her hand, and led her to the table that Alena was at. Nayra obediently followed Leo.


Shamelessly, Alena stood up to greet Leo with her best smile.


"Ah, not unexpectedly, yes, Doc. We can have one table." Alena shifted her body slightly, then let Leo sit down without letting go of her smile. "Please ...."


Leo smiled at a glance, then pulled the chair for Nayra, before she herself sat down on the chair Alena pointed to. He indirectly mediates between Nayra and Alena. He thought there would be a war.


Alena glanced at Nayra to show her triumphant smile. He feels valuable only by Leo occupying the chair he has chosen.


"Maybe fate brings us together, yes, Doc ..until we're put together at the same table, without agreement, without knowing who set it up." Alena sat—face with Nayra.


"Is it possible that Doctor Leo arranged for us to sit together? The doctor belongs to the ranks of important people." Once again Alena smiled sweetly while moving her hand to get close to Leo's hand resting on the table. "It must be easy to arrange something this small."


Leo's forehead furrowed until his eyebrows knitted against each other. Where does this confidence come from? Since when did he care about others? Who's Alena? If he hadn't been involved with Nayra, Leo wouldn't have been close. Oh, let alone being close, Leo hasn't even had any chatter with Alena so far.


"Maybe it is." Leo squinted his eyes at Alena who immediately puffed out his chest. "I'm an important person, that is. But if you set a chair to sit with someone, I'm not sure."


Nayra held back a smile. Alena raised an eyebrow as she slowly lowered her bosom that doubled.


"meaning?"


"Yes, I think my position is too valuable if I only use it to set the table so that it can hold you together." Leo answered with his ac.


Alena bit her lip feeling her pride slammed down under Leo's feet.


"If Mr. Bondan might be, but I'm not like him. Dear job and hard work I have! Not comparable, times." Leo grinned. Relax, but squeak.


Nayra folded her lips until she left a straight line.


"What doctor do you mean?!" Alena stood up in quick motion. Who would Leo dare to say such cruel words to him? Obviously he did not accept. Someone offended his pride. The woman's eyes glared sharply at Leo. "I don't deserve that to get you? Who are you really? How tall are you to say as if I'm trash in your eyes!"


Leo smiled cynically in response to Alena's curse.


"You're just a regular doctor! You are also a little rich! You are not the president's son .. so don't be arrogant! Don't underestimate anyone, Doctor! Let others respect you! I wonder, arrogant doctor like you why is it still maintained! Do you have an inside connection?" Alena felt she was the one who was hurt the most here, so it was only natural that she went berserk. Caring for demons with the gaze of the people–people, instead he benefited in this.


"Oh, so you ...!" Nayra, who had been listening to Alena's speech, finally spoke up. At first Nayra was worried that this would get Leo into trouble, but thanks to Nayra's foresight and patience, she had something useful to turn things around.


Nayra turned her head to face Alena who was shocked instead of playing to hear Nayra's voice.


"You're the one who urged the hospital to fire me who's been there for so many years?"


Alena's quiet. Trying to remember what he said.


"Speak you're not clear, Nayra!"


Nayra raised her voice. "You got me fired a few days ago, didn't you, Doctor Alena?!"


The entire room was suddenly silent as Nayra stood up. His eyes were straight and sharp looking at Alena who was shaking her lips and hands.


"If Doctor Leo alone who in fact has a position and power you can be oppressed, you deserve to look down on me! It's worth you to easily kick me out without the hospital needing to bother–repot evaluating my mistakes!" Nayra said sharply and there was no look of fear on her face. He's ready to face everyone, even Bondan.


"Tell me, how do you so confidently oppress someone higher than you, Doctor? You would at least hold the post of director if you wanted to bully Doctor Leo!" Nayra's words made Alena tremble. "But, you don't even know who's officially asking for leave! It's kind of weird, isn't it?"


Bondan who had since seen the two men's quarrel could only wipe away the sweat. Under Edo's gaze, Bondan felt his spine numb and frozen.


"You are not a person of authority in a hospital with your competence that is below that standard! So how can you bully my husband?" Nayra added with a cynical expression.


"Cih .. If you've lost, thrown away and set aside, you better admit it! Go and fix yourself, don't look for things let alone interfere in matters that have nothing to do with you." Alena threw her face. He tried to brace himself so as not to waver under Nayra's gaze which now looked different. I don't know because of what.


"Darling you offended Leo today, so this is also my business, Alena! And the one who deserves to go for betterment is you! You're the one who should be questioned at every level of your career advancement, Alena! Because ever since we worked together, I have not seen you do anything right, without the help of anyone else! You, without interference the director will never stand here and bully people–people."


"You're talking nonsense!" Alena warmed up in her face to her chest. "You're accusing without proof!"


"If my words are just a prank, you shouldn't have responded this seriously, Doctor Alena! You can laugh at me, not get angry and yell at me. The wrong person, will be angry if the accusations made against him are true. Look at you now!"


Alena gasps. Jesus ... he got into the trap that Nayra made. Damnit.
