Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

The next morning, Lisa woke up later than usual. Oscar was not by her side, maybe the man had returned to his house. When Lisa glanced at the clock, she forgot that she had to go to the office today. Fortunately, she immediately rushed to take a shower and went to the office using an online motorcycle taxi.

Arriving at the office, the atmosphere felt like usual. None of the coworkers greeted Lisa except Sarah. Since Karina's embarrassing incident, Lisa had no friends to talk to besides Sarah, even though her curiosity was so annoying it made Lisa uncomfortable and irritated her sometimes.

Time passed so fast, it didn't feel like the afternoon was getting late. Suddenly, the manager from another department asked Lisa to give a report file to Rangga. In fact, Lisa didn't want to meet Rangga because ever since she came back with Oscar, she didn't want to make her ex-husband jealous. But what could she do? This was her job and she must maintain her professionalism.

Lisa took the file to Rangga's office. In front of his door, Lisa took a deep breath before stepping inside.

Lisa looked at Rangga who was busy typing on his computer. When she knocked on the door, Rangga didn't greet her as usual. He only invited her to come in and glanced at her briefly.

"Excuse me Mr. Rangga, I want to hand over the file from the manager of the marketing department," Lisa said, handing the man a large folder containing A4 sheets of paper.

"Just put it there," Rangga said briefly. The man typed vigorously while staring straight at the computer screen. 

Today, Rangga looked very strange. It was unusual for him to act indifferent to Lisa even when the two of them were discussing work. Maybe Rangga was so busy that he couldn't distract his focus now.

Lisa then took a step back and said, "Okay, I'll excuse myself, sir."

"No problem," Rangga replied shortly. The man still didn't glance at her. 

Lisa didn't want to bother Rangga, who looked serious and concentrated. She immediately turned around and walked to the exit. But when Lisa was about to open the door handle, suddenly the man said, "You are back with Oscar, aren't you?"

Hearing Rangga's words just now, Lisa was immediately shocked. How did Rangga know about her recent relationship with Oscar?

"Em… That's right. What's wrong?" Lisa replied a little doubtfully.

"Oh, nothing. Congratulations. But I still won't give up. I'm always waiting for you to accept my 'application'!" Rangga said sharply and confidently.

In her heart, Lisa felt a little bad about Rangga. The man has helped her a lot in every way. When Lisa really needed money and got into trouble with her ex-stepsister, who else helped her if not Rangga? But Lisa still couldn't marry her own friends, let alone a childhood friend like Rangga!

"I'm really sorry! I can't go out with you. I love Oscar. Oscar also loves me. We will both reconcile in the near future. Sorry, I know you are really good to me, always help me when I'm down but I can't fall in love with any of my close friends! I hope you can find another girl who is more suitable for you," Lisa said at length. Without realizing it, her eyes began to tear up.

Rangga stopped his typing and stared at Lisa's face from a distance. The expression on the man's face looked very disappointed and sad. "What should I do? There is no perfect girl in my eyes besides you," he said confidently.

The atmosphere in the room became awkward and cold, making Lisa feel depressed and restless. "Mr. Rangga, if there is nothing else to talk about... I will go back to my room," she said politely.

Rangga was silent, he did not reply to Lisa's last words. He looked back at the computer screen with a blank look and typed fast.

"Rangga, I think..." Lisa said suddenly, "You can start a new page with Maria again," she continued before she left Rangga's room.

"Lis, can you not mention her name in front of me!?" Rangga said irritably from his desk.

"I want you to move on from me. Don't get hung up on girls who aren't interested in you. Sorry if my words were harsh but I said what I said. I want to catch up with my life, I won't be able to date, let alone marry a close friend myself,"

"Well, if you can say that, you can't force me to go back to Maria, right? I've moved on from her! What do you know about my relationship with Maria? Don't be pretentious," Rangga replied again.

Hearing Rangga's last words made Lisa feel even more guilty. The woman left Rangga's room without a word. From behind the door to his room, Rangga snorted in annoyance. This time, his jealousy with Oscar began to grow.

When Lisa returned to her room, her mind was unsettled. She still felt guilty for refusing Rangga's proposal. But she didn't have any feelings for him. She didn't want to lie to Rangga and accepted the curly-haired man's proposal and then had an affair with another man behind him.

As long as Lisa sat staring at the computer screen, her thoughts continued to spin on Rangga and her guilt. She even thought about quitting Colors Advertising to avoid Rangga. But if Lisa resigned from her job now, who would support her mother and Bella?

After all, it was very difficult to find a job in the capital city, especially when someone was nearing their 30s. No, Lisa didn't want to make stupid decisions just to fulfill her upset feelings. She must think of a plan carefully, otherwise she would fall into misery like before.

Lisa also didn't want to rely too much on Oscar in financial matters even though she knew that the man would not hesitate to shower her with money. Lisa still had a shame even if the man later would become her husband again.

***

In the afternoon, it's time for Colors Advertising employees to return to their homes. Lisa went out through the exit and then in front of her eyes, a black Alphard car was pulling up.

Lisa immediately approached the car with hurried steps, convincing herself that it was Oscar. 

When Lisa stood at the door, she peeked and the car's window opened. The figure of a handsome man clad in a shiny black coat was sitting in the driver's seat.

"Oscar!?" Lisa exclaimed in a surprised voice. "Are you here to pick me up?" She continued, her face looking amazed.

"I want to pick up my wife from her working place. Can't I?" Oscar asked dryly.

"Oscar! We're not officially married yet! Be careful, other employees can see us both!" Lisa whispered irritably.
