I'm the CEO

For the past several days, Dylan noticed Lyla have been busy than usual. Although she would still comes home before dinner and sleep early with but he noticed she would wake in the middle of the night and bring her laptop out on the living room. And she would sleep for half an hour before getting up again to make their breakfast. He didn't want to probe into her life to much but somehow it makes his heart ache looking at her working so hard. Now he's looking at her, sleeping on the sofa with more papers by her side. Dylan caress her messy hair and slide some of the loose hair behind her ear. He picked her up and tuck her on their bed before going back to the living room to clean up the paperwork that's been scattered everywhere. He picked it up one by one and somehow his eye got attracted to the title on the paper. IRIS Project. He knew about it and it somehow got to do with the security that the government that are trying to improve. The reason he was familiar with it is basically because it was the unfinished project that he's working on before he decided to resign from his position and leave everything behind. What makes him puzzled at this moment is what is the connection between the IRIS Project and Lyla. She's just a restaurant owner and a chef. Why is she working on this? He picked up his phone and dialed a number. Informing he want every detail about the progress on IRIS Project. Tomorrow, he'll ask Lyla about this. Between them, there's never a secret. One thing that he knows about Lyla, if someone wants to know more about her or have question about her, she prefers if they asked her directly. But, she can be choosy when it comes to answering the question. She only answer truthfully when she's in front of her best friends and in front of him. Whatever he wants to know, Lyla never lie.

Lyla woke up a bit late this morning and hurriedly went to the kitchen to cook for their breakfast. But she was surprised when she saw Dylan was cooking. Slowly, she went to him and try to peek what he's cooking. She never knew he can cook and never did bother to ask since she like cooking for them. Now looking at him cooking, makes her heart feels light. She hugged him from behind and kiss his back. It's the only place that she can reach since he's way too tall for her. Dylan look behind and pull her hand so that she stand in front of him. He kiss her forehead and lips. Lyla felt her life is all complete getting enough love from him.

"You don't need to go to work today." Dylan said while looking at her eating his omelette. Lyla frowned.

"Why?"

"Because you need a rest, wife."

"But i still got something to do."

"You have your employees. They're supposed to be doing the work for you."

"But hubby..."

"And i want to know why you're working on IRIS Project when you're just running a restaurant." That makes Lyla shut her mouth immediately. She thought she could hide it a little longer or at least until she submitted everything a week from now. The deadline is quite short and she really need to get this project because it's too alert her fake family that she's back. And this is her first step taking the Grandeur Company from them and hand it to someone that her grandparent's mention. It took her quite a long time to find this person but when she finally found him, she have another problem to deal with as it seems this person life is not in a good condition. That's why while she fix whatever this person's problem is, she need to drag out the game. Feeling his husband intense gaze, she put down her fork and knife. Her hand starts playing with the edge of the tablecloth.

"Ermmm,,,you saw those papers?" She asked knowing that he saw it. He just nodded.

"Hurmmm... I was handling those project for LHD Company."

"You mean that new company that started almost a year ago and due to their outstanding achievement they were seen as everyone's rival." He knew about that company also. He was surprised such a small company manage to grab all the old company's attention because their performance and some even dare to take a gamble to collaborate with that LHD company including his. He was surprised by their commitment and have been making inquiry about their CEO. They always send out representative no matter how big is the contract nor project. So, he's quite curious who's behind that small company making such a daring proposal at certain times and sometimes outstanding. They even involve themselves in almost every aspect. No matter it is within the tourism, security, hospitality and even military. He really can't tell what that company aiming for as it seems wild and hard to tame.

"Oh,,, you heard about it. As expected. My king." she grinned.

"And what about it? Why are you doing paperwork for them?"

"Because... I'm the CEO of LHD." she said in a small voice. But Dylan could still hear making him speechless. Lyla who was peeking at his reaction can only grimaced in her heart when she saw the dark look that he gave to her.

"I was just killing time and this is my first move against my fake family."

"!!! Fake family?"

"I,,,i,,,didn't tell you yet?" she stammered. It seems she forgot to mention during their talk with each other. She was over the cloud and didn't always bother to think about her fake family. Dylan doesn't look good. In fact he looks a bit angry. She really need to explain everything to Dylan before he turns into volcano. This hubby of hers really have a temper that can turn the place into level 5 hurricane.
