From 1pm to 4 pm, Lisa one spends her time in front of a computer screen. Maybe because she was used to it, her eyes no longer felt dry or hot. The pile of papers next to her computer made it difficult for her to find the red ballpoint pen she wanted to use.
Her conversation with Cicilia this afternoon kept ringing in her mind even though she kept herself busy with work. She kept guessing who came to her office to tell her colleagues all about it. It was certain that the man had to be in her close circle to spread such information.
And again, Lisa wasn't sure if Cicilia's warm attitude towards her was really sincere or just something she was forced to do. The woman might've been afraid something would happen to her so she treated Lisa well. And as she thought earlier, she could have been nice to him so she could stab her in the back.
Who knows what ugly thoughts filled Cicilia's head?
As Lisa's fingers played on the computer keyboard, her mind drifted to the Healthy Together hospital. Was the man that Cicilia was referring to Oscar's underling?
Since she first met Oscar, she already knew that he was a possessive type of guy. He will do anything to protect the people he thinks are precious in his life. He could have paid a stranger to clear up the misunderstanding in her new office.
Lisa knows that Oscar will do anything so that she can live a 'perfect' life. And Lisa also knew that the man would not get his hands dirty to make that dream come true. He would definitely pay someone to do whatever he ordered.
Suddenly, just as Lisa was lost in her thoughts, she heard a deep male voice in the distance calling her name.
"Lisa! Come here quickly, Mrs. Indri wants to meet you in her office!"
With lightning speed, the woman rose from her chair and smoothed her short skirt. Aaron was already standing in front of her, and just like this morning, the look on his face was warm. Although there was still a hint of panic in his expression, the man was still able to smile sweetly.
"Aaron, Mrs. Indri wants to meet me?" Now, Lisa was standing next to Aaron. "Oh, what's wrong? Do you know anything about it?"
"Just come along. She seems to want to ask something important." Aaron said as he turned around. The thick soles of his shoes made a distinctive sound on the porcelain floor.
'Oh my god…' Lisa mumbled in her heart.
Hearing Mrs. Indri's name mentioned earlier made her heart seem to stop beating. How could she not? She used the woman's name to prank Surya! Could it be that the woman found out about her prank and now she's about to be fired from the office!?
From what Lisa knows, Mrs. Indri is a Senior Unit Manager at Better Life company. The woman was probably over 30 years old. Her cold and cruel nature is able to make all employees obey her and do not dare to go against her words. Almost every month, the woman would look for someone who was willing to be her assistant, because no one else was able to handle her stern attitude.
Even though Indri wasn't her direct supervisor, Lisa was still nervous. The woman's position is already high, unlike her who still serves as a non-permanent employee. If her performance declines, her contract may not be extended and she can't help but look for a new job!
But even if Lisa already knew Indri's character and personality, she still had never seen her in person. No, she meant to see the woman's face. All this time, she could only guess what she'd look like.
"Miss Lisa, you don't have to worry like that. Mrs. Indri doesn't bite." Aaron teased as they reached the wooden door. The man raised the hilt of his glasses, "Please come in. She's been waiting for you for a long time."
If she was in a good mood, Lisa would definitely laugh at Aaron's jokes. But not at this time. The woman shivered in fear and her heart was beating faster and faster.
"No need to be that tense," Aaron suddenly said.
Hearing that made Lisa turn her head, "Huh? What do you mean?"
"Like this," Aaron replied. The man loosened the gray tie that adorned his neck and said, "Lisa, you don't have to be so nervous! I'm sure that Mrs. Indri won't do anything. She's actually a good person, it's just that she's cold."
Lisa nodded her head slowly. It's true what Aaron said earlier. Maybe she just wanted to talk to her about what happened to Surya the other day. She is a woman, so she definitely wants to gossip and hear it directly from the victim's lips!
Well, she wouldn't skip this chance even though she knew that she was too busy and old to deal with the gossip circulating in the office.
The knock on Indri's door sounded weak in Lisa's ears. But the woman couldn't repeat it again. Her hands are shaking too much! The bad thing about Lisa is, if she feels scared and something goes wrong, her whole body will definitely shake violently.
"Enter."
Hearing the short order made Lisa couldn't help but open the wooden door. Before she entered, Aaron had a chance to pat her on the shoulder, encouraging her.
When Lisa stepped into Indri's office, her eyes immediately fell on the jet black executive chair. Behind the counter was a woman who had a beautiful and cold face. Her gaze that was fixed on her was firm.
Even though she was over 30 years old, the woman still looked young. Even looks younger than Lisa. Indri has short, shoulder-length hair that is jet black, just like her office chair. Her face was as small as a doll's, and her eyes were narrow like cat's eyes. The aura emanating from the woman's body was stern, almost the same as Oscar.
Indri's aura was so firm that Lisa's legs shook and almost brought her to her knees.
Unexpectedly, it turns out that the woman who is feared by all employees at the Better Life company has a beautiful face!
Lisa tried hard not to be nervous and stepped deeper into Indri's room. When the woman stood in front of the wooden table, Lisa put on a friendly face.
"Mrs. Indri, did you call for me?"
