Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

"Sorry Lis, I was just worried about you. I've seen how you were tortured but still alive. Like, life is too cruel to you, you know," Andien said regretfully. She lowered her head while cutting the vegetables.

In return, Lisa just muttered. 

After cooking, the two women brought all the utensils and raw food ingredients to the living room. Andien invited Oscar to take it first because she felt that the man was her superior, so he should be respected.

Oscar refused, he pointed at Lisa instead and said, "This woman is the host. You should have told her to take it first,"

Lisa immediately took a few pieces of meat and then dipped them into a pot filled with hot broth. While twirling the meat in the pool of hot broth, Andien helped Oscar and her best friend to get the rice.

The three of them ate together very quietly. There wasn't even a warm conversation between the three. Either they were too embarrassed to start a conversation or because they wanted to maintain their image in front of each other. The problem was that Andien could not gossip and laugh as usual with Oscar there. After all, he was her boss and Andien didn't want her image to look bad in the eyes of her boss.

The atmosphere in the living room was very awkward. Even Lisa was unable to get rid of the awkwardness that enveloped them while she was trying to break the silence.

After dinner, Andien helped Lisa wash the dishes and clean up all the utensils. She then said goodbye to Lisa and Oscar.

"Good night Mr. Oscar, see you at the office tomorrow morning. I will take my leave first."

***

When Andien left her boarding house, the atmosphere inside became quiet again. Oscar just sat quietly on the sofa, crossing his two legs. He sat idle, staring straight ahead as if he was daydreaming.

Lisa looked closely at Oscar's face. His eyebrows were drawn together, his gaze was fixed on one point, and his sitting position was very rigid. It seemed that the man was thinking about something.

Lisa cleared her throat, breaking the silence. "Oscar, what's wrong with you?" She asked curiously.

The man looked at Lisa's face with a sour expression. "You think I didn't hear what you two were talking about in the kitchen?"

"What do you mean in the kitchen?" Lisa asked, starting to be confused by what Oscar's question meant. She then sat on the sofa beside him.

"Your conversation with Andien. I heard everything," Oscar explained dryly. His face looked displeased.

"Oh my God, don't take it personally. Andien is …. Just like that, you know. She likes to talk carelessly. Don't think about it!" Lisa replied, trying to calm Oscar's heart and feelings so that he wouldn't explode.

Oscar took a deep breath then inched from where he was sitting. He crossed his arms and stared at the moldy living room's ceiling. "I can't be trusted, can I?"

"You mean unbelievable?" Lisa leaned over to Oscar.

"I heard Andien say that I could betray you because I have hurt you several times in the past. Am I totally untrustworthy to you, Lisa?"

Hearing Oscar's question just now made Lisa even more confused about how to answer. Deep down, she still loved Oscar no matter how much she had been hurt in the past. She realized that humans could change. Both Andien and Oscar's words made her heart even more upset.

"How bad am I in the eyes of my employees?" Oscar asked softly.

"I can't answer that, only you know. Never mind, don't take all Andien's words to your heart. You better take a break, I want to clean up the kitchen first," when Lisa got up from the sofa, Oscar pulled her hand. The man looked into her eyes closely. This time, his eyes looked different from before. A glint of sadness and regret radiated from within his clear blue eyes.

Lisa did not have the heart to see those welded eyes. She came back again and sat on Oscar's lap while gently touching the man's cheek that looked like it was chiseled by God. Oh, how handsome this guy's face, she thought.

They both looked at each other. Their gaze grew deeper and deeper as if they were communicating without using a word.

"Oscar, you are really handsome..." Lisa said softly.

"Lisa, you are very beautiful. I'm so lucky to have you," Oscar replied, stroking Lisa's cheek which started to blush.

The man brought his lips close but she dodged it and said, "Don't kiss me yet! I haven't brushed my teeth!"

Without saying much, Oscar immediately carried Lisa to the bathroom. He grabbed a toothbrush and toothpaste and handed it to her. "Then do it now!" He insisted.

"Don't be in a hurry, why the hell are you in a rush anyway!? I was tired after cooking earlier and then you asked for a kiss!" Lisa said irritably.

"I don't care, we still have unfinished business," Oscar said dryly. He leaned against the door's frame and crossed his arms like a mother about to punish her child.

"Come on, you're starting to be like a kid again!" Lisa looked up, annoyed at the man.

Oscar didn't move at all. He just stared at Lisa blankly without expression with his hands still crossed. His aura started to feel cold and tense. Without Lisa realizing it, her hair started shuddering in horror when she stared at the cruel glint in his eyes.

Since she didn't want to fight, Lisa finally gave in. "Alright, fine, I am brushing my teeth!"

"Now that's good. You will go to bed after this anyway," Oscar replied with a faint grin and a nosy look.

"You're so annoying!" Lisa snapped, brushing her teeth.

Several minutes passed, the woman had finished brushing her teeth and gargling. She checked her teeth again, not letting any food scraps left between her teeth. She then turned around and looked up, looking at Oscar's face and said, "Here you are! You said you want to kiss?"

Oscar gave Lisa an amused look. It's really adorable how she acted when she treated him like a kid. The man laughed when he saw Lisa's annoyed expression after brushing her teeth.

"Gosh, Lisa, you're so cute! Haha! I did tease you on purpose!" Oscar said bluntly.

Hearing Oscar's words just now made Lisa even more annoyed. She pushed Oscar out of the bathroom then hit his back as a sign of joking. "Damn it! You are really really annoying!"

The man laughed endlessly. This was the first time Lisa saw Oscar laughing like a child with joy. She didn't expect that the man who always looked cold and flat had a sense of humor.

"Hey, I'm serious now. We still have unfinished business. Still remember that we left it in the car earlier?" Oscar asked, changing the way he spoke to be very seductive.

That sexy deep voice suddenly penetrated Lisa's ears, tickling her whole body. The lust that had been lost now appeared again. 

"Oscar, I think… Tonight's not the time... I'm tired..." Not finished with her sentence, Oscar immediately carried her and took her to a room on the second floor.

"It's too late, Lisa.. I won't let you escape," Oscar said softly.
