Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Rushed steps were heard immediately after the gate was opened, seemingly walking into the living room. Kumala and Lisa immediately glanced at the figure with a radiant face.

"Bella!" Lisa called as if she hadn't seen her younger sister in years.

"Lisaaaa!" Bella replied cheerfully as she approached Lisa and hugged her tightly. "Why are you here? I didn't know that you came today!"

"I just happened to have free time so I visited," Lisa replied.

Putting her backpack on a chair in the corner of the living room, Bella took a glass and filled it with mineral water. She dragged the empty dining table chair, took a quick sip of water as if she had been living in the desert for weeks.

"Ah, really fresh!" Bella said, releasing her thirst.

"So, how is your thesis? I haven't heard from you for a long time. You must be very busy on campus," Lisa asked, looking at her younger sister.

"Thank God it's done! Even though the mark is not that good, at least I passed the examination. Guess what, I've got a job! I just need to wait for the judiciary and I can go straight to work next month!" Bella said with a happy face.

"You are so cool! But isn't it better if you continue to get a master degree? This is Jakarta, I'm just giving advice. If you are able to continue to a higher level then why not?" Lisa replied.

"I understand your suggestion, but I am really determined to work. I'm tired of studying, Lis. Besides, I also have an obligation to help our family earn a living, so that your burdens are not too heavy either," Bella explained seriously.

Hearing her noble ideals made Lisa's heart happy and proud, but she still felt a bit stuck. If only it wasn't for their family's difficult financial situation, Lisa would definitely continue her education to a higher level after she got her bachelor degree.

"Bella, I'm proud to have a younger sister like you. But seriously, let me take care of our family's financial problems. If you have the opportunity to continue studying, don't waste it. I originally wanted to continue my master's degree, but since our circumstances were really bad at that time, I couldn't help but have to work after college," Lisa explained with a slightly nervous heart.

"I want to help you with work. I've made a lot of mistakes with you some time ago and I have to pay for my mistakes by helping you!" Bella replied insistently.

Hearing her two daughters talk about life issues made Kumala unable to hold back, so she decided to share her opinion with her youngest daughter. "Bella, I'm happy with your choice. We definitely support your choice, but I personally don't want you to waste your opportunity to continue until master degree,"

"Come on mom, I'm so tired of going to college. College sucks a lot and it makes me bored as hell. It's time for me to work and help support our family, okay!" Bella replied firmly without any hesitation.

"By the way, where did you get a job?" Lisa suddenly asked. Her face looked curious.

"I got accepted to work at an insurance company, wait, what's the company called ... Ah Future Life Insurance! At that time, I searched the internet and kept looking until I found one that said they're providing a lot of benefits and health insurance for its employees. So I just applied for fun at the beginning, but it turned out I got accepted," Bella replied.

Hearing the words Future Life Insurance shocked Lisa. It was one of the companies owned by Rangga and his brother! 

"Insurance company!!?" Kumala was surprised to hear Bella's explanation just now. "Bella, haven't you heard from your friends that any insurance company is a fraud at its core?! They're all liars! I don't want you to work for them!"

"Mom! You misunderstood. The insurance company where I will work is currently short of staff in the administration department. Besides, I got accepted without any effort, you know so I initially did not expect to be accepted there, but they immediately called and interviewed me then sent a news that I got accepted," Bella insisted.

"No, I disagree if you have to work for an insurance company. Their goal is to deceive customers! Don't you know that?" Kumala replied, not wanting to be outdone by her youngest daughter.

"Mom, please, looking for a job right now is not easy. Just think of it, rich people will definitely get a job after college because their families can help them with their dreams but what about us? We are ordinary people! We have to fight desperately to find a decent job. Even though the job doesn't match our college majors sometimes, isn't it still better than being jobless and worrying about what to eat later? Moreover, the insurance company where I will work will definitely give us a lot of benefits," Bella explained at length.

Kumala took a deep breath, unable to argue with her youngest daughter. She didn't know what else to say. "Never mind, I don't know what to say anymore. I want to cook first."

When Kumala went to the kitchen, Lisa approached Bella who was sitting next to her and whispered, "Bella, come with me to the room for a while. I want to tell you something."

In the room, Lisa told her younger sister to sit beside her. She stood idly by, sighing.

"What's wrong?" Bella asked, curious.

"I'm not preventing you from working. I support all your choices as long as you don't go against the law. But honestly, I also object to you working at Future Life Insurance," said Lisa in a firm voice.

Bella looked at her older sister with a dumbfounded face. "What's wrong with that? I finally got a job!"

"Do you know who is the boss of that company? It's Rangga! I haven't told you but I just recently resigned from one of Rangga's companies. Trust me, you definitely won't feel at home there!" Lisa explained in a serious tone.

She didn't want her sister to be tortured in Rangga's company, or suffer the same fate as her before. Even though it was not Lisa's fault, her opinion of the man and the companies he owned was no longer good. Not to mention Maria, Rangga's wife, who was back in the town now. It was certain that the incident with her spread to other company branches. If the employees in both Colors Advertising and Future Life Insurance employees knew that Bella was Lisa's sister, they wouldn't let her live a peaceful life.

"So what's with Rangga being the boss? I don't have a crush on him anymore. I already think of him like a brother," Bella replied, still not understanding what Lisa meant.

"Ughhh you don't know about it yet, huh.... I resigned from one of Rangga's offices because I stumbled upon something bad there! I don't want you to be tortured like me. Anyway, just look for another job, don't get close to Rangga again!" Lisa explained firmly.

"I don't want to, I have the right to work anywhere. I am free to make my choice. You don't have the right to tell me what to do even though you are my real sister," Bella insisted.

Hearing that her sister still insisted on working for Rangga's company, Lisa couldn't help but tell her about what happened to her. She leaned over to Bella and looked at her with a serious gaze. "Fine, I'll tell you. But let this remain a secret between you and me, okay? Rangga has been married all this time, and he has a child named Julian. His wife, Maria, has returned to the company. She slandere me saying I was a homewrecker even though I wasn't! I don't want you to be hurt by Maria, that's all."

"What? Even though you and Rangga have a bad relationship now, it has nothing to do with me right? I don't think I can reason with you to drop this job. Didn't you tell me to grow up and be responsible for myself? Alright now it's the time so don't try to pressure me any longer because it won't work," Bella replied.

"Ah, I don't want to hear your advice anymore," she added and then went to the dining room.

Instantly, the room where the two sisters were talking suddenly became cold and awkward. Lisa sat frozen on Bella's bed, staring blankly at the door that her sister closed violently. 

The relationship between the two sisters, which had just been mended, turned cold again. No conversation took place between them when the two had dinner with their mother.

That night, Lisa immediately said goodbye to her mother and Bella.. But her younger sister seemed reluctant to talk to her.
