Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Minutes had passed since the dancing competition was started. The last melody of the classical music that the contestants danced to on the stage almost ended. The spotlights that had been shining now began to light up.

When the music melody stopped, all of the contestants' movements also stopped. The audience cheered and screamed in awe of the beauty of their dance.

The MC went up on stage again with a microphone and said, "Wow, how beautiful the contestants' dance moves are! All these contestants have danced gracefully! Does everyone agree with me?" The MC asked cheerfully.

All of the guests then answered in unison, "Yes!"

"Very good!"

"Very beautiful!"

"Amazing!"

The dance was truly spectacular. With beautiful women and handsome men specially chosen by Mrs. Wijaya, the other guests were greatly entertained by the event.

"What do you say about our contestants tonight? Aren't they all looking dazzling and beautiful?" The MC exclaimed with an excited tone.

All of the invited guests answered in unison again, "Yes, they are!!"

"The men are amazing!"

"The women are dancing beautifully too!"

"Haha good, good. Now we just need to ask Mrs. Wijaya about who wins this dancing competition and deserves the prize of rare diamond jewelry!" The MC got off the stage and approached Mrs. Wijaya, who was sitting at the front table, staring at the stage with a smile.

"Before that, please give big applause to Mrs. Wijaya first!" The MC exclaimed aloud.

Simultaneously, the sound of applause from the invited guests immediately filled the VIP room.

"Mrs. Wijaya," the MC asked. "How was their dance? Isn't it hard to choose the winner?" The MC was thrusting the microphone towards Mrs. Wijaya.

"Yes, I am confused which one to choose," Mrs. Wijaya replied, blushing. 

The MC took Mrs. Wijaya's hand and invited her to go on stage. When the woman came onto the stage, the spotlights highlighted her beautiful face. She was really aging like a wine— prettier as she got older.

"So, Mrs. Wijaya," the MC  asked again on stage. "Please announce the winner of the best dancer tonight!" 

The MC handed the microphone to Mrs. Wijaya.

The old woman grabbed the proffered microphone and said softly, "I am confused about choosing the winner."

Mrs. Wijaya circled the contestants on the stage. She thought that all the women and men were very beautiful when they danced earlier. However, it seemed that Mrs. Wijaya didn't want to give her diamond necklace to any of the dance contestants.

Mrs. Wijaya suddenly got off the stage and approached Lisa's table, carrying the microphone.

All of the invited guests then directed their attention to Lisa. They really didn't expect that Mrs. Wijaya would give Lisa the necklace. She didn't even participate in the dance competition just now, so how could she win that prize!?

"Lisa, please can you get on stage?" Mrs. Wijaya politely asked.

Lisa looked at the woman with a surprised face. She didn't join the dance, but why did the old woman order her to go on stage?

Even though Lisa didn't like Clara, the demonic woman deserved the diamond necklace more than her!

"Uh, Mrs. Wijaya..." Lisa mumbled in a quiet and polite tone. "Why do I have to go on stage?" She asked in surprise.

"It's okay, kid. Come with me to the stage," Mrs. Wijaya pulled Lisa up from her seat and brought her to the stage.

When she walked upon the stage, she could see the faces of the other contestants who were getting tired of standing without a clear end. Lisa's heart was suddenly beating very fast. All of the main female contestants glanced at Lisa with a fierce gaze.

The atmosphere in the VIP room suddenly became very awkward and tense!

Mrs. Wijaya took a diamond necklace from the jewelry box the waitress brought. She put it around Lisa's neck.

"Lisa, you really deserve to use this necklace!" Mrs. Wijaya said with her eyes sparkling.

The old woman pointed her microphone to her lips and said, "I think the winner who deserves my diamond necklace is this woman!"

All of the invited guests cheered disapprovingly. They booed the old woman's decision. Lisa didn't dance at all, so how could that woman get Mrs Wijaya's diamond necklace?

"Unfair! The woman didn't even dance!" One of the contestants on stage said.

"Yes, that's right, Mrs. Wijaya!" Another one added.

Seeing Lisa win the diamond necklace made Clara feel even more furious. She had given all her best in front of the audience that night but she had to lose to a cheap woman like Lisa?

"Mrs. Wijaya," Clara politely said. "Isn't this wrong? I mean, Miss Lisa didn't participate at all, but why was the gift given to her?"

Mrs. Wijaya turned her body and looked at Clara with a sharp corner of her eye. "I saw that the aura of this woman was very bright and strong. This diamond necklace is only suitable for women with a clean, flawless heart. Look, she's really beautiful when using this necklace, right?" Mrs. Wijaya sincerely said.

Lisa felt the tension around her heightened from where she stood. She did not want to get all of the guests gossiping about her. With a soft and reluctant voice, Lisa took off the sparkling diamond necklace and handed it to Mrs. Wijaya.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Wijaya, but I don't have the right to get this necklace. I didn't participate in the dance competition earlier. Give it to one of the best contestants!"

"But Lisa, I see myself in you. You are strong and kind. You deserve it!" Mrs. Wijaya explained what her reason was.

Hearing Mrs. Wijaya's praising Lisa made Clara feel even more hurt. She couldn't accept it if the necklace was really given to Lisa. No, Clara must have the necklace! She would do anything to make it happen!

"Mrs. Wijaya, with your permission, I can try on the necklace. Maybe, it would be more suitable if I used it," Clara asked, convincing Mrs. Wijaya to hand over the necklace.

Mrs. Wijaya shook her head. "No, I don't feel a good aura from you, Miss. You are beautiful but I feel your heart is not as pretty as your face,"

Hearing that, Clara felt embarrassed and lost her face in front of hundreds of guests! She looked away to cover her red face.

Lisa bowed her head, she was not comfortable with the other guests, especially the contestants who put in their best effort to look their best in the dance competition.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mrs. Wijaya, but I can't accept this gift."

Mrs. Wijaya smiled when she heard Lisa's humility. The old woman then took the diamond necklace back.

"You are an honest woman, Lisa. I admire your attitude," Mrs. Wijaya said while hugging Lisa on stage.

A servant brought a jewelry box and stood beside Mrs Wijaya. The old woman then put her diamond necklace back in the box.

"Mrs. Wijaya, once again I thank you and it is an honor for me to get chosen by you. But I'm sorry, I don't deserve your diamond necklace. I could not accept such a luxurious gift. You better keep it, I'm sure there are other women who deserve it more."

Lisa bent down and looked at Mrs Wijaya's teary eyes. Her humility made Mrs. Wijaya respect her.

"Okay Lisa, you're welcome. I believe this necklace will meet a more suitable owner," Mrs. Wijaya said while smiling and then hugged Lisa again.

Lisa could finally breathe easy. The woman came down from the stage with a big heart.. The atmosphere in the VIP room that had been awkward and tense returned to be more relaxed.
