"Where are you taking me?" Lisa asked suspiciously. Her face began to turn bright red when her husband embraced and brought his handsome face closer.
"You will find out later. I'm sure you will like it, Lisa." Oscar replied while linking his slender fingers with Lisa's curved fingers.
It was getting darker and darker, the lights along the streets of the capital slowly gave off a yellow glow. The diamond ring she wore gleamed in the streetlight. Lisa watched Oscar's two hands carefully, she did not find a single ring on her husband's fingers.
"Oscar, why when we got married this morning, I didn't see a ring on your ring finger?" Lisa bluntly asked.
"You want the people in the office to know we are married? Then spark a scene and threaten your career there?" Oscar replied sharply.
"But Karina had found out that you are my future husband in court!"
Oscar grinned sarcastically, "When it comes to Karina you don't need to worry. I've silenced her. There won't be any unpleasant rumors about the two of us again, Lisa."
"What are you doing with Karina, Oscar? Did you bribe her with some money!?" Lisa's eyes widened.
Oscar brought Lisa closer to him. The sneer that had been on his face had turned sour, "You don't need to know about that! None of your business!"
That sentence made Lisa's back shudder, scaring her. The problem was that Lisa knew Oscar could do everything he could to get rid of whatever got in his way. She didn't want her husband to give some money to her half-sister!
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became cold and silent. Both Lisa and Oscar did not start any conversation after Lisa's question about Karina. The two of them were really awkward. Lisa rested her chin near the car window and looked at the busy street. There was only the sound of a car engine roaring and a horn shouting at each other.
After lingering on a busy street, they finally arrived at a luxury hotel in the city center. Lisa looked at the towering building in amazement. She often heard stories about the hotel she visited today. Only a handful of people could afford to stay and eat there! The hotel was famous among the country's officials and celebrities!
Lisa looked back at her husband with gleaming eyes, "Oscar, what do you want to do by taking me to the Wilson hotel?"
Oscar touched Lisa's chin and lifted it so it was level with her face, "We're going to have dinner. Celebrating our wedding day!"
Hearing her husband, Lisa just didn't flinch and blink. She was speechless, not knowing what to say except the glint in her eyes that showed how she still couldn't believe the luxury she had felt since she tied the knot with Oscar. Lisa knew her husband was not just anyone, but just for dinner he had brought her to go to a luxury hotel famous among celebrities in the country? Lisa really didn't understand the life of the rich!
"Oscar, don't we just want to eat? Should it be in a luxury hotel?" Lisa asked suddenly.
Her husband nodded. Their car had arrived in front of the lobby. A bell-boy opened the door for Oscar and Lisa. Dani took a small suitcase from the trunk and gave it to Oscar. The man then carried the suitcase while holding Lisa and entered. They were immediately greeted by the warm hotel staff, then stepped into the reception desk.
"Welcome sir! How can I help you?" The receptionist greeted the man.
"Is the penthouse there still empty?" Oscar asked briefly.
"Oh sure, I'll find it for a moment." The receptionist ran her fingers polished with red nail polish on the keyboard. After finishing recording all the necessary data, she handed over a card and invited the newlyweds to take the elevator.
'Penthouse room? What does this foreigner want to try!?'
Lisa looked around the luxurious building with classic European-style interiors, complete with luxurious blood red carpet. Her life which had been so simple now had completely turned 180 degrees!
"Oscar," Lisa doubtfully asked, "You said we will have dinner, right? How come you booked for a Penthouse?"
Oscar smiled, he did not say anything except to encourage Lisa to hurry to the elevator.
On arrival at the top floor of the hotel, Oscar said to his wife who asked on the ground floor earlier, "I want you to take a shower first and change your clothes with this!"
The man put down the small suitcase and opened it in front of Lisa. There was a heart red dress and a pair of beautiful leather high heels.
"Oscar ... You bought me another dress?" Lisa asked, looking up at her husband's blue eyes.
Without saying much, Oscar pushed Lisa onto the bed. Now Lisa was under the athletic man, shocked. Oscar stared closely at the woman's tanned eyes. Lisa could feel a spark of desire through the glint of her husband's clear eyes.
Oscar ran his slender fingers down Lisa's collar. He then reached for the buttons on the woman's shirt and started unbuttoning the top of her collar.
The man brought his nose to Lisa's ear, and let out a small breath. His full lips gently touched Lisa's little ears and whispered, "Get a shower and change clothes or I'll do it for you!" The man's tongue gently brushed Lisa's ear. The tingling came again.
"I'll wait on the ground floor at the French restaurant near the pool. Don't be late or I will punish you! " Oscar grinned. The man got up and left Lisa in the room.
***
After showering and dressing up, Lisa went down to the ground floor looking for a French restaurant that her husband said was near the swimming pool. Before long, she found herself standing in front of the restaurant in question.
She saw Oscar standing by the pool. The man selected a table by the poolside. Lisa then walked towards Oscar.
"Lisa, you are so charming tonight!" Her husband praised her. 'Oh, you are the one so charming tonight!' Lisa also had the same idea about the man in front of her..
The man was different from this morning. He wore a luxurious velvet suit, dark blue as the evening sea, and a white shirt without tie. He left the two buttons on his collar open.
Lisa was silent where she stood, admiring the beautiful image of her husband.
"Why are you stunned? Sit down!" Oscar exclaimed. The woman was a little surprised. Her husband had been using formal language since yesterday. Lisa chuckled a little at that.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Oh no, your speaking style suddenly changes!" Lisa said bluntly. She pulled out her chair and sat down.
"I think, if I speak in formal language then you will get awkward!"
"Pfft, you are a weird one! Sometimes you use formal, sometimes casual!"
"Nevermind, then I'll go back to using formal language, satisfied?" The man raised an eyebrow.
"Whatever, I'm hungry already!"
Shortly after they talked, a waiter brought an appetizer then the main course was followed. The waiter put all the dishes on the table and congratulated the two new couples.
Lisa stared blankly at the dishes on the table. She had been eating fancy food for several days. She hadn't had time to eat her favorite roadside fried rice in the office canteen, now she had to eat fancy food again?
"Oscar, are you sure it's okay — why are we eating fancy food like this? I mean, shouldn't you be thrifty?"
Oscar did not stare at his dreamy wife. He was busy with the dishes in front of him, "Don't be stunned, let's eat quickly before it gets cold soon!" Oscar's voice broke Lisa's reverie. Lisa knew she was hungry but she still couldn't understand why Oscar had to bring her to dinner at a fancy restaurant again.
When the two of them had almost finished their dinner that night, Oscar took out a red heart box. He put it on the table. Under the moonlight hitting the sparkling surface of the swimming pool, the man cleared his throat.
"Lisa, I have a present for you." Oscar handed the box to Lisa.
"You're not doing any pranks right?" Lisa suspiciously asked, looking at the box.
"Why do I prank my own wife? Just open it!"
Not believing Oscar's words, Lisa opened the box slowly. Inside, she found an expensive perfume from a well-known designer brand from Italy.
"Oscar, this is too much for me. Plada perfume? Seriously! How much rupiah did you spend today, O foreigner?" Lisa asked, mockingly.
"You talk too much, just accept it!" Oscar replied curtly.
"Why are you willing to give me a luxury item like this? I didn't even ask!"
"It's because you are my wife now, don't be stupid! Why do I bother looking for money if it's not used in the end?"
"I don't have to worry about you running out of money, that's the language. By the way, thank you very much!"
Oscar began to change the way he spoke to be more serious. His gaze was now very sharp. He grinned mischievously, "No need to be grateful.. You only have one way to return the favor."
