Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Aaron frowned as soon as he heard Lisa's curt reply. The man thought that since he and Lisa were close enough, the woman would tell him something. Until now, Aaron is still wondering why the police suddenly came and arrested Maria.

It wouldn't be him if he didn't force the person to tell him something. But Aaron knew he couldn't mess with a roaring lion. Judging from the look on Lisa's face, the man knew that she was in the wrong position.

"I just wanted to know why my boss was arrested by the police." Aaron grumbled. Without waiting for Lisa's answer, he turned around and walked away.

Lisa sighed and saw Aaron's back from her desk. 

From noon until late that afternoon, Lisa sat uncomfortably behind her desk.. Her eyes sometimes looked at the pile of papers, her computer's screen, and sometimes at her cell phone's screen. Often the woman typed something on her phone, then deleted it at lightning speed.

Finally, today's problem is solved. Lisa knows if for example she is stubborn and wants to solve the problem alone, surely until now she has not seen the bright light of victory. Thanks to Oscar, this matter was resolved quickly.

And as a good human being, it's only natural that Lisa should thank Oscar. But until now he didn't know what to say!

Lisa was still unsure whether she should call the man or just text him. So busy with her own thoughts, Lisa didn't realize that it was now 3 pm, it's time for her to come home from work.

Every time she felt like she had to call Oscar's cell phone, her courage suddenly waned. Lisa herself didn't know why she had to be nervous like this.

After thinking for a long time, she decided to send Oscar a short message. Instead of interrupting the man's working hours and maybe an important meeting, it was better to just text him.

Lisa: This morning, Maria was arrested by the police at the office. I know that this is all thanks to your kindness, thank you.

After typing that, Lisa didn't just send the short message. She reread the text a few times, making sure she didn't type anything wrong.

Finally, Lisa's thumb hit the send button.

An hour after she sent the text message, she still had not received a reply from Oscar. As expected, the man must be busy at work. As president of Petersson Communications, Oscar's busy schedule is undeniable. Sometimes, every time she met Oscar, Lisa couldn't bear to see the man's thick eye bags.

Oscar, every woman's wet dream, and a president director of a large company, certainly doesn't have the slightest bit of free time. And even though he was busy, he still made time to help Lisa.

Of course, Lisa was grateful that the man wanted to help her. But somehow, her heart felt empty. Knowing that Oscar helped her because she was William's mother made Lisa sigh.

She shouldn't let herself be fooled so as to think that she could have more relationships than what she had with him now.

Not long after Lisa put her phone down to get back to work, it vibrated. Immediately without wasting any more time, the woman took out her cell phone and turned on the screen.

Oscar: You're welcome.

Reading the incredibly short reply made Lisa feel embarrassed! Indeed, such an answer is normal and has been used by other people. And indeed, Oscar had no other choice but to send her such a short message.

But it's the same! The man should have asked what had happened this morning, or if she was all right. Not just sending 'You're welcome'! 

Lisa tries to read the short message that happened a few days ago. Compared to her message which had more than 3 sentences, Oscar only replied with a short answer. The longest message she had ever received from him was just a message saying that William was fine.

What a shame!

Lisa put her cell phone back on the table, this time she deliberately flipped it so she didn't have to look at the screen. Because today, she couldn't focus and her mind was wandering everywhere. And it made her unable to function normally— look! today's work wasn't done at all! In the end, she couldn't help but have to come home later than the others to finish her work. 

When Lisa was busy with her work, she was told by a colleague from another division that Indri expected her. The feeling of discomfort and restlessness enveloped her body more and more.

"Enter." Indri replied from behind the door when she heard the knock.

Before opening the door to the room, Lisa took a deep breath. She did not know what made Indri call her. Does this have anything to do with why Maria was suddenly taken away by the police? Just like when she was dealing with Surya in the past? Indri asked her a lot of questions back then, as if she was some kind of a criminal.

"Miss Indri, are you looking for me?" Lisa asked politely after she closed the door to the room.

Even though she doesn't like Indri, especially because she's none other than Oscar's beautiful girlfriend, Lisa still tries to be polite. Either way, the woman's position is far above her.

How could Lisa, an ordinary employee, dare to mess with a woman like Indri? She would be kicked out like a cockroach for sure!

Within the cold and spacious room, the two women related to Oscar faced each other. Lisa is Oscar's ex-wife, while Indri is the woman who now fills the man's heart. Realizing this made Lisa even more uncomfortable.

When compared to Indri, she is nothing. Like the dirt of the eyes and a flower blooming in spring. Such is the difference between Lisa and Indri.

Unlike Lisa, Indri wears branded clothes and always in bright colors, carries a purse that always matches the color or style of her clothes. 

The clothes that Lisa wore this week, she will be wearing again in the next two weeks. It is always like that. She still didn't have enough money to buy expensive work attire and looked as good as the others.

She couldn't just help but admit inwardly that she's amazed by Indri's beauty!
