Just before the clock struck 12 o'clock at night, Oscar's cell phone rang. The man deliberately turned off the silent mode so that he could hear incoming calls or messages. And sure enough, when the man was in the bathroom, he immediately left his toothbrush on the sink.

"Hello?"

Dani didn't expect Oscar to answer his phone call so soon. The man accidentally let out a loud yawning sound. "Oh, hello! Good evening, Mr. Oscar!"

"How is it? Have you got any important information?" Oscar asked quickly, cutting off any small talk.

"Yes. I just got information that Mrs. Lisa is working on a big project. Then she was accused of plagiarizing someone else's proposal, sir." Danny said in a serious tone.

"Impossible!" 

Dani also turned out to agree with Oscar's words. The burly man cleared his throat, "I also think so. I still haven't found any evidence that Mrs. Lisa plagiarized other people's work. I will make sure I will give further reports to you tomorrow before 10 am."

Oscar walked towards his bedroom's opened window, feeling the night breeze waft into his room. For a moment, he was silent and looked at the night sky that was adorned with dozens of stars. 

As long as Oscar had known Lisa, the man had never thought that she was the type to plagiarize other people's work. That woman is too smart for it. The only possible situation was that someone else plagiarized her work, not the other way around.

"Yeah, I also don't believe that Lisa plagiarized other people's work." Oscar replied after a few moments.

Lisa had worked in the company he led, so he knew how she really was. When the woman worked for him, Oscar never found any flaws in her performance. Never rude to other colleagues, let alone plagiarize other people's work.

Hearing that made Dani think that their phone line would be cut off soon. Finally, because he was too sleepy, the man took the initiative to ask.

"So how is it? Is there anything else I can do tonight?"

Oscar frowned, "No need. Let me just take over from here. Thanks."

Then, the man hung up on their call.

*** 

The next morning, Lisa received news that Indri and Maria would have an important meeting today. Without being told, Lisa already knew that the meeting would definitely discuss her proposal that was accused of plagiarism. 

That one woman named Patricia…. Her hunch grew stronger when she was told to tidy up the meeting room.

From what Lisa heard, she said that this meeting was impromptu, so there was no other employee who could tidy up the room other than her.

Since Lisa had just arrived, her tote bag and everything she had brought was still lying on the table. He was told to only bring her laptop and empty books into the meeting room. So that resulted in her walking towards the elevator carrying a laptop and an empty book.

Her steps stopped for a moment when she saw Oscar and Indri also waiting in line for the elevator. Why is Oscar in the company building where Lisa works?! Is he here just to meet his new girlfriend?

"Okay, calm down, calm down, think another way." Lisa whispered while trying not to show herself.

While thinking about what she should do now, her mind couldn't stop wondering. For a year, the Better Life company did not cooperate with the Petersson Communication company. Why is Oscar here? Even if this company cooperates with a company that Oscar leads, he as the president does not need to come in person. 

What Lisa knows is that the Deputy General Manager usually comes instead of the president. 

However, seeing the man here, he's most likely seeing his girlfriend! Lisa couldn't help but grumble in her heart.

Before the elevator doors opened and the new lovers could enter and take a look, Lisa thought of hurrying away from there. It's better for her to waste her energy climbing a few dozen stairs than to be in the same place with them!

But it seems like the world really hates her these days. Before Lisa could turn around, the elevator door opened.

Her body froze when she saw their faces. Her legs felt as if they were chained, tightly tied to one of the posts like a pet dog left in front of a fence. The two's faces beamed and before the elevator doors closed, Lisa could hear Oscar's laughter.

Is this what they call a broken heart?

Lisa's heart felt like it was being torn to shreds. The wound in her heart, which was still fresh when she heard the news that Oscar and Indri were on vacation in Bali, felt so sore. Do they really have a special relationship now?

Oscar Petersson, a man who has a mouth as sweet as candy, often makes Lisa fall in the same hole. Lisa stupidly believed Oscar's words the other day that said he still loved her. Lisa should have known that the man was only blinded by the fog of lust, causing him to say sweet things that drove them to make love to each other.

For a few moments, Lisa did not move from her current position. It wasn't until she heard the clatter of high heels echoing down the deserted corridor that she came to her senses. Since Oscar and Indri had probably gone to Indri's room, the woman decided to take the elevator.

Her problem with Patricia was yet to be resolved. No matter how hard Lisa tries to find evidence that she lacks hours to rest, she still hasn't found anything. 

Lately, all Lisa does is come to the office, work, eat lunch at her desk, go back to work, then go home. Once she got back, she must be in front of her laptop, trying to find anything that she could use to defend herself.

And that's what Lisa is doing now in the elevator. Even without opening her laptop, she was still thinking of ways to defend herself. Actually, the woman didn't think about looking for evidence at all. Her thoughts drifted away to Oscar who suddenly came to the company where she worked.

Why did the golden haired man come here?
