Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Nobody knew how long tears had rolled down Indri's cheeks. Her vision became blurry, not from the alcohol but from her tears.

Until now, Indri still didn't think that Oscar had the heart to treat her like this. 

It turned out that the man only approached her to help Lisa. Indeed, Oscar had said that he had no intention of having a relationship with her. What's more, the man made it clear that they were just co-workers.

But as time went on, after so many dinners together at expensive restaurants, Indri thought that maybe Oscar would change his mind. 

As a fellow woman, of course Lisa feels sorry for Indri. If she were in her position, it is certain that she would feel the same way. Disappointed, hurt, disgusted, emotional, confused, and many others.

At times like this, Lisa blamed Oscar's attitude. He shouldn't have given Indri false hope by taking her to dinner and sending her red roses.

"I don't care, Oscar. I don't care if you still love Lisa or approach me because you want me to help her. I just want you to be mine now. Even though you still love Lisa, I want to be the second one!"

"This life and the next, I'll still be yours!" Indri continued with tears in her eyes.

Hearing that made Oscar dumbfounded. Until then, he will not open his heart to Indri or other women. But why would the woman even think this way?

At that time, Lisa was experiencing a fairly severe problem, even threatening her job. And Oscar couldn't do anything, because the Better Life company didn't belong to him. He got to know Indri from fellow businessmen along with her position in the company.

Slowly but surely, he began to fill Indri's days. The closer they got, the stronger Oscar's determination to manipulate Indri into helping Lisa.

Finally, the woman agreed to his request, on the condition that they have to have dinner together. 

At that time, Oscar did not have strange thoughts and agreed with Indri's terms. After all, they only had dinner, so what's the harm in it?

As time passed, Oscar noticed that the woman's attitude had changed. Indri became more considerate, often texting him, and sometimes whining to be invited to eat out together.

Of course Oscar could not refuse Indri's request, probably because he felt grateful. Thanks to Indri, Lisa's position can be saved and the woman's good name can be restored.

But now, Oscar had no idea that she could fall in love with him.

"Hey, hey, calm down. You're drunk, Indri. So I don't think you can think clearly and know what you're talking about most likely..."

Indri chuckled, "I'm sober, Oscar. You rejecting my love instantly made me sober from the soju I was drinking earlier."

"You are a beautiful and smart woman. I'm sure there are a lot of guys out there who want to be yours. One day, you will meet the right man for you. That time will come…" Oscar continued after a few seconds of silence.

Hearing that made Indri's tears fall even more profusely. She walked over to Oscar and touched the man's strong arm, "I don't care about all of them, Oscar. I just want you. I want to be yours, I want to be your wife!"

This time, Lisa really felt like she was watching a soap opera. She really felt sorry for Indri, and without realizing it, tears began to fill the corners of her eyes.

For the next few moments, neither of them made a sound. Indri remained standing in front of Oscar, and the man let Indri hold his arms. 

Oscar knows that Indri is the stubborn type and will not give up until she gets what she wants. Someone like her is indeed suitable to be a successful career woman. But when it comes to romance, Oscar will never agree.

Therefore, Oscar chose to change the topic of their conversation.

"It's getting late, let me take you home."

Oscar's cold voice was able to beat the cold wind that night. It was so cold that Indri's bones hurt and her teeth chattered. 

But what can Indri do now? How could she refuse Oscar's invitation and stand on this cold night like a crazy person? She'd better go home and cry as much as she can.

Who knows, maybe a cup of warm tea while soaking in warm water can calm her mind.

After all, if Indri insisted and forced Oscar to love her, he could actually hate her. And Indri didn't want that. She'd better go home and think of another way.

Lisa was too dumbfounded and didn't expect what she had heard or seen earlier, so she didn't realize that Oscar and Indri were no longer in front of her. She only had time to see Indri get into Oscar's car, then the black car disappeared from her sight.

After a long silence on the sidewalk trying to digest what had happened, the woman finally walked back and took the public bus.

"Sister!" Vira excitedly greeted her. The woman stopped the cat compilation video she was watching earlier and looked at Lisa with a suspicious look, "Oh my gosh, you finally came home too!"

Lisa took off her high heels and said, "Why haven't you slept yet? It's getting late, you know."

She walked over to Vira and sat next to the woman. She took the glass on the table, probably Vira's, and took a sip of the cold sweet tea. Her throat felt incredibly dry, drier than the Sahara desert.

Vira cleared her throat, "How can I sleep when you're not home yet?"

"Oh, right," Vira continued without letting Lisa reply to her words earlier. She pretended to stretch her body so she wouldn't have to see the look on Lisa's face. "How was the date? I mean, the one that you had with Mr. Oscar...."

For some reason, hearing the word 'dating' and Oscar in one sentence made Lisa feel uncomfortable. Unknowingly, her face reddened and her heart was beating fast. But luckily, Lisa has gotten used to controlling her facial expressions.

Instead of making Vira misunderstand and keeping her awake because the woman would probably refuse to sleep before getting a satisfactory answer, Lisa chose to put on a straight face.

"Date? Oh my gosh, do people still date in 2021? Anyway, who the hell went on a date with Oscar? I was having a meeting with another company." Lisa replied without looking at Vira.
