Oscar frowned as he clenched his broad palms, holding back the anger that was starting to build up inside him.

"Mr. Oscar, so who was the mastermind behind William's kidnapping?"

"Mother...!" Oscar exclaimed, casting his gaze across Dani's face. His teeth grinding as he cast a deadly glare.

"Sir, are you sure? I mean, it's not that I doubt your judgement but, Mrs. Greta is your son's real grandmother. Is it possible that she doesn't care about her own grandson?"

"My mom is evil and she doesn't care about anything other than wealth and the throne! Clara must have bribed her with money! I know it!" Oscar growled.

Hearing the words from his boss just now, Dani immediately fell silent and did not give any comment.

"Dani!" Oscar suddenly called. "I want you not to make a sudden attack. We have to go with the flow. As long as we still haven't figured out the right way to take William back, we'd better keep quiet. I want you to keep watching until we finally find a better solution!"

Dani nodded in agreement then left the president's room.

"Clara you bastard! How dare you gang up on me with my mom!" Oscar snorted as Dani left the room.

Monday arrived, it's time for Lisa to work her new job. On her first day of work, Lisa was so well dressed and beautifully made up in hope that she would leave a good first impression. She did not want to make a bad first impression on the eyes of other employees and her superiors.

Arriving at the hotel where Lisa worked, she came to the employee's room as someone from the hiring department escorted her to the finance office and introduced her to the other employees.

"Good morning, attention please. Today we have a new employee. Please introduce yourself!" The person said to Lisa.

"Good morning everyone, I am Lisa Soewandi, the new employee. Nice to meet you. I'm looking forward to working with you!" Lisa said a little awkwardly, feeling a bit nervous.

All employees in the room responded to Lisa's greetings warmly. Not long after, she immediately went to one of the empty chairs in the room. There was only one empty seat that was near the window. Even though it was scorching hot, Lisa couldn't help but have to sit there.

The hotel's finance department room was slightly bigger than the room she used to be at Colors Advertising. But for the size of the hotel, the employees working in the finance department were quite few. Men were pretty much minorities here.

On her first day of work, Lisa had no trouble at all. She had experience when she worked at Petersson Communication and Colors Advertising so it was not difficult for her to make an inventory report in a new workplace.

A week later, Lisa started getting comfortable with her new workplace. This week coincided with a day off together, many employees did not come to the office except for the new ones including Lisa. The hotel owner gave her extra work while most of the employees took long vacations. It wasn't a problem for Lisa because as long as she was still paid for overtime, she would do everything she could.

While Lisa was busy wrestling with the mounting inventory reports, a manager in charge of the finance department came to her desk.

"Wow, Lisa, you are quite a workaholic, huh? Are you sure you don't want to go home? The others are on leave," the manager asked, feeling a little worried seeing Lisa working while other employees were on leave.

"It's okay, I still get paid even though I do overtime," Lisa replied politely.

"Wow, you're probably the most hardworking person I've ever met. Alright then, I'll go home first. If you need help or if there is a problem, just contact me," said the friendly manager.

Lisa nodded in agreement. For her, working in the back office was much easier than working in the front line.

When lunch time arrived, Lisa went to the cafeteria behind the hotel where she worked and ran into a waitress who seemed to have just finished work.

Suddenly, the waitress passed out in front of Lisa. 

Lisa was so shocked to see the waitress fell unconscious. She immediately grabbed the person and said, "Hey! Are you okay?!"

"Oh please help, I have a sudden stomach ache..." the waitress replied, moaning in pain.

The person's face was very pale and sad. It was as if the woman had just gotten food poisoning and vomited all of her guts. She immediately grabbed Lisa's arm as she endured the unbearable pain.

Without saying much, Lisa immediately called the ambulance to take the waitress to the nearest hospital.

"Hold on, okay? We're going to this hospital. "

Fortunately, the hotel where they both worked was not far from the hospital. In just ten minutes, an ambulance came right in front of the lobby. An attendant rushed over with a stretcher and carried the waitress into the ambulance. Lisa also rode inside and followed the waitress to the ER.

***

Arriving at the ER, Lisa immediately helped to fill in patient data. While waiting for the doctor to check, Lisa called her manager and asked for permission to go to the hospital to help the poor waitress.

She stayed at the hospital all day, accompanying the fainted waitress. Then, the person woke up with heavy eyes and a limp body.

Lisa leaned over then rubbed the woman's head and said, "Ah, thank goodness you finally woke up."

The waitress was confused, she glanced around her and asked back, "Where am I? What happened to me?"

"Just calm down, you're in the hospital. Earlier, the doctor said that you got acute gastritis because of overworking at the hotel," Lisa replied bluntly.

"Wow, thank you very much for sending me to the hospital! By the way, I'm Putri Haidar. Are you a new kid at the Cendana Hotel?" The waitress politely asked.

"Yes, my name is Lisa Soewandi," Lisa replied kindly.

"I'll return the medical bills later, thank you for helping me," Putri suddenly said.

"Just take a lot of rest until you recover. I wrote it down so you don't forget. Don't worry about money. You have to rest a lot until you recover, okay?"

"Sorry beforehand, can I ask you for a favor?" Putri suddenly asked while holding Lisa's arm.

"What is it?" Lisa leaned over so that she could hear Putri's soft and limp voice.

"You are an employee of the Cendana hotel, right? Can you please fill in my work? Just a few days?"

"Putri, I'm in a different department from you. Besides, I have to do overtime as asked by my boss. Try asking permission from your manager to take a leave."

Putri lowered her head limply with a sigh. "I can't leave my work. My family is far away in Sukabumi. If I don't work, I can't send money to them. I am poor and came all the way here just so my family in Sukabumi can survive," Putri explained pitifully.

Regardless whether those were true or not, Lisa was clearly touched and her story reminded her of herself. Putri also worked to support her needy family.

Lisa had no other choice but to help Putri fill in position as a waitress for a few days. She couldn't bear to see her suffer any longer.

"Fine, I'll just help you work for two days, okay? I also have my own business so I can't help you more than that," Lisa replied firmly.
