Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

The next day, Lisa went to the office as usual. This time she was carrying a shopping bag containing the dress Oscar had given her yesterday along with special party high heels. Her boss invited her to dinner at an Italian restaurant near the office after work. There they'd meet a lawyer who was ready to handle her mother's divorce papers.

As night fell, Lisa finished with the inventory report and immediately left her desk. Yesterday, she had not had time to open a parcel from Oscar. She was just guessing that the contents of the bag were a dress or some kind of party outfit. Lisa opened the shopping bag with the words Gior on it and took out its contents. Lisa guessed right, it was a dress. It was a beautiful luxurious black dress. However, there was one thing that made her frown a little. The dress was very open on the chest and back. Even worse, the dress had a slit on the side up to half of the thigh.

Lisa was a little dumbfounded looking at the dress Oscar gave her. She was not supposed to go to a candle light dinner! It's a formal meeting with a lawyer! Oscar must have gone crazy giving her a dress like this to wear later.

From the doorstep of the bathroom in the president's office, Oscar stood with his arms crossed and smiling mischievously. Looking at Lisa who was silent in front of the bathroom mirror was the thing he liked the most. He really wanted to tease her.

"You sure look flirty in that dress Lisa!" Oscar said from the doorway.

Lisa turned her body to look at the 190 cm tall man. Sometimes, she forgot how tall the man was when he stood beside her. Lisa was not short but with the help of high heels alone, she still couldn't keep up with Oscar's height.

Oscar stepped closer to Lisa. His hands were wrapped around the woman's waist. His head was down, kissing Lisa's head, "It's good if you take a shower first, dear. Or do you want me to accompany you there?"

"Oscar please, let me bathe myself!"

"It's up to you, princess." He said softly. "When you're ready, I'll wait in the lower lobby, okay?"

***

Half an hour after Lisa got dressed up, the two of them headed straight for Giorno's restaurant. Only 15 minutes from the Petersson Communication office building, they both arrived.

A servant opened the door to the two couples, invited them to enter and find a seat. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very romantic. Classic European-style furnishings accompanied by Italian-style music, not forgetting the dim candlelight added to the romantic atmosphere of the restaurant. If this weren't an official meeting, Lisa might have asked Oscar to dance on the stage near the table where the two of them were sitting! Oh what a crazy wishful thinking.

Lisa sat next to Oscar. The man looked very handsome in a black velvet suit and a crimson tie. His golden curls were combed to the side very neatly. The fragrance of her expensive perfume permeated Lisa's sense of smell.

A waiter came over to hand over the menu. After they ordered dinner, the waiter got up from where they were sitting leaving Lisa and Oscar alone. Lisa's black dress went great with Oscar's velvet black suit. They both looked like a couple who had recently married.

"Lisa, you are so gorgeous tonight." Oscar praised her, holding one of Lisa's hands and then landing a kiss on her palm.

"Oscar, didn't you bring me here to meet your lawyer?" Lisa asked, trying not to blush.

"Yes, but can't I admire your beauty before my lawyer arrives?" Oscar replied with a smile.

Shortly afterwards, someone came in from the entrance. He was looking breathless, running towards the table where Lisa and Oscar were. The couple were looking at the door at the same time, finding a man in a blue suit and red tie waving his hand.

"Oscar, my friend! Long time no see!" Said the man. Even though the man knew Oscar was not a local, he did not speak to him in English. It looked like this lawyer had known Oscar for a long time!

"I hope I'm not late! The road is a bit congested haha."

"No need to worry Thomas, the two of us also just arrived!" Oscar said, reassuring the man who just came.

"Lisa, this is Thomas Manurung, the Petersson family's top lawyer! Thomas, this is Lisa, my future wife!"

The man shook Lisa's hand with a smile, his face was very gentle and looked like a nice person. "Greetings, Miss Lisa. Wow, your future wife is so beautiful! I've never seen any beauty like this before!"

"Thank you, Mr. Thomas." Lisa shook the man's hand firmly. The three of them immediately sat down and enjoyed a glass of wine while waiting for the food to arrive.

Thomas Manurung had been the Petersson family's personal lawyer even before Oscar was born. More or less he had been working with the Petersson family for 20 years. His actions in the legal world were not in doubt.

While eating and chatting, Thomas picked up the documents submitted by Oscar this afternoon. He opened the folder and turned the pages of paper documents deftly, "Alright Miss Lisa, I have read all the information about your mother and father's divorce case. Looks like the case you have is not a complicated case."

"What are the chances of winning this case?" Asked Oscar briefly. His right hand held the glass wine and turned it lightly.

Lisa poured wine and gave it to Thomas, "Here, sir, I've seen you haven't had it at all."

"Oh, thank you, Miss Lisa. What a beautiful and polite woman." Thomas grabbed the glass wine offered by Lisa. The man took a slow sip and said, "I estimated that, this case is fairly easy so overall I'm sure 80% will win this case!"

Oscar heard Thomas's last sentence with a frown, "Why can't you win 100% Thomas? I really want Lisa's case to be won by our side!" The man's voice was firm and deep.

"Look Oscar, there is no such thing as a 100% chance of winning in the world of law! Even though it is proven that the defendant's party is guilty, there are still many factors that could reverse our victory to the defendant!" Thomas explained as he took a sip of wine, "The world of law cannot be predicted with precision!"

Hearing the lawyer talking with her boss, Lisa could only remain silent in her place to listen carefully. She really didn't know anything about the law. So she just stared at the two men talking, and left the results to the lawyer. Lisa placed her trust in Oscar. If Thomas Manurung was a reliable lawyer who's able to solve various cases dealing with the Petersson family, Lisa shouldn't have to hesitate about the divorce case of her mother and father.

Oscar was silent, then put the glass wine on the table in annoyance. Luckily, the glass didn't break. He blinked then closed his eyes, calming his thoughts. In an instant, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward and cold. His forehead creased more and more and his lips knotted.

Thomas seemed to feel that the answer he gave was not satisfactory. After a while, he finally spoke up, "Okay Oscar, I promise Miss Lisa won't lose the trial! I promise I will 100% win this case!"

Oscar's face finally relaxed after hearing Thomas's promise. The man smiled with satisfaction, then took another sip of his wine, "Now that's what I want. Why would I call you all the way from Singapore to Jakarta to resolve the divorce case of my future wife's parents if not because you are a reliable lawyer? Isn't that right, Thomas?"

Thomas just smiled in relief. The man emptied his glass of wine then refilled it back to a half.

After waiting for some minutes, the waiter at Giorno's began to walk around taking notes and delivering orders to customers. The atmosphere of the restaurant was getting more serene as the night got late. The three people were still busy chatting, making small talk while enjoying dessert. Lisa was still sitting pretty and listening casually to the conversation of the two men in front of her.

It seemed that Oscar and Thomas were very close. Lisa even noticed that the middle-aged man with a sweet smile didn't even call Oscar with an honorific title. Even though their ages were far apart, the way they talked and greeted each other was like family.

Thomas himself had not seen Oscar and the other Petersson family for a long time. He was willing to come all the way from Singapore just to meet this old friend and help his old friend's future wife win the lawsuit in court.

"It's great to be back in Indonesia, even though it's only for a few days. Ever since I moved to Singapore, it feels like time has flown by! I hardly have time to just chat like this!" Thomas chuckled as he tapped Oscar's wide shoulder.

"You're lucky I called for work! Let's just say that after this case is over, you kind of take time off from your job in Singapore!" Oscar said. He laughed dryly, trying to break the awkwardness.

Almost an hour had passed, the waiters lifted all the empty plates that were on their table. Leaving only three glasses of water and a glass of wine. Thomas began explaining the ins and outs of Lisa's mother and father's divorce in detail. He also asked Lisa several questions to clarify and cross-check before bringing the case to court.

"Very well, Miss Lisa, Oscar. See you tomorrow in court tomorrow! Thank you for taking me to dinner together with your future wife!" Thomas said.

"No, I should be grateful to you for helping me resolve my parents' divorce case." Lisa replied politely and slightly lowered her head.

The clock showed ten at night. The restaurant started getting ready to close. All of its lighting began to dim. Several customers also rushed home, including Oscar and Lisa.

Oscar's black Alphard then arrived at the restaurant's entrance. Dani opened the door for Oscar and Lisa. The president then escorted Lisa to her house. When she arrived there, her mother was fast asleep. Lisa opened the gate slowly so as not to wake her mother.

"Lisa, don't forget to talk to your mother tomorrow. Also, don't forget to take your dad to the trial the day after tomorrow. If you need help, just call my number. I'll help you later." Oscar kissed Lisa on the forehead gently.

"Fine, thank you very much." Lisa closed the gate and locked it. She felt a little relieved in her heart. One by one, her problems since the incident with her ex-boyfriend had begun to be resolved.

Tonight, Lisa could sleep with a pretty calm heart.
