Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Thousands of questions immediately filled Lisa's mind when she heard Oscar's question. She wanted to ask where the man got the information about her problems at the office. But remembering that Oscar was close to Indri stopped her from asking. The man must have dug up some information about her from Indri.

Lisa let go of Oscar's arms and sat facing him. For a few seconds, she was silent, not knowing where to start. She was afraid that if she told him everything, Oscar would do something reckless. Maybe Oscar would scoff at her and accuse her.

But half of her knew that Oscar definitely wouldn't accuse her carelessly.

"You know that I don't actually plagiarize someone else's proposal, right?" Lisa asked quietly, as if she wasn't confident.

Oscar frowned, "Of course. When I heard the news that you were accused of plagiarizing other people's work, I didn't believe it. But apparently, it's not the same with others. They don't believe you, do they?"

Lisa averted her gaze from Oscar's piercing eyes. She felt intimidated by what the man had just said. While playing with her fingers, Lisa answered.

"Hmm. That's why I'm looking for evidence to prove my innocence."

"So, have you found it?"

Oscar's tone sounded so sincere. As if he was talking to an innocent child. 

Lisa shook her head. "Not yet…"

"Tell me, how should I help you?" Oscar replied enthusiastically.

Actually, the real reason Oscar approached Indri was to help Lisa get a good position at her job. He was willing to pretend to be interested in her just to help Lisa with her work.

Hearing that made Lisa frown while looking at Oscar's face. She wanted to solve this problem alone, without anyone's help including Cicilia and especially Oscar. But now she really didn't know what kind of evidence she had to look for. 

Now that Oscar is close to Indri, if Lisa told him what was really going on, maybe the man could help her through Indri. Even though Indri herself accused her, though not directly but through Maria, she knew she would change her mind in a matter of seconds if Oscar convinced her. Just like when Lisa had to face a sexual harassment case with Surya. 

When they all accused her carelessly, it was Indri who cleared her good name thanks to Oscar.

And maybe, she could solve her problem again if she received help from Oscar.

Having such thoughts made Lisa tell him everything. "So, the company where I work has a big project and we want to cooperate with High Creative Ads. We are actually eager to work with them. But I don't know, our proposal was never accepted. And finally, this month, the company entrusted the project to me."

Oscar nodded his head, showing that he was still listening.

"I didn't want it at first but I don't have much choices, so I accept it. I couldn't even sleep because I pushed myself to finish the proposal ahead of time. Then, the other day, I gave my proposal that I've made with my own hard work to my boss." 

Lisa was silent for a few moments. Remembering the events that happened in Maria's room made her anger skyrocket again.

"Then?" Oscar asked when Lisa didn't continue her story for a while.

"Well, I thought that my work was done at that time. So I'm back to work as usual. But as it turned out, I was called to my boss's room the next day. I thought that my proposal was finally accepted by the High Creative Ads company! But it turned out that when I entered, I was immediately accused of plagiarizing another employee's proposal."

Hearing that made Oscar frown. "Wait. Did your boss accuse you without evidence? You know that if we want to accuse someone then we have to possess a solid evidence, right?"

"No," Lisa shook her head, "My boss is looking for someone who has the exact same proposal as mine. Seriously, I'm 100% sure that it was the girl who plagiarized my proposal, not the other way around! So I tried to defend myself in front of them. But you know…" Lisa sighed, "My efforts were in vain. You could say I lost because it was two against one, haha."

Her crisp laugh was the last sound heard in Oscar's car. For a few seconds the three of them did not make any sound. All that could be heard was the car's engine and Oscar's speeding thoughts.

"Actually, your case is not that big. Plagiarism is also common in all companies. But this problem can taint your good name. Now, all we have to do is look for evidence that can help you defend yourself."

Lisa sighed, "I know. That's why I'm trying to find evidence now…"

"I'm sure that this is all your boss's scheming against you. She must be looking for someone to work with to bring you down. After you give your proposal to your boss, she will immediately submit the proposal to that person so that it they could make one that's exactly the same as yours," Oscar muttered to himself. His voice was so low that Lisa didn't really hear what he was saying.

"Your boss must be deliberately trying to bring you down." Oscar repeated more confidently and his voice rose even higher.

"Of course! That damn girl will definitely want to take me down for revenge!" Lisa replied lazily. She was so angry that she couldn't filter her words and said whatever was on the tip of her tongue.

Oscar's clear blue eyes had a look of confusion and suspicion when he heard Lisa's reply. But the man just frowned and fell silent, trying to think of what he should do.

Oscar took his eyes off Lisa's face and looked straight ahead. All his fingers were playing on his knees which were covered by those dark blue cloth pants. His mind couldn't stop thinking what he should do to help Lisa.

"Alright, I understand it now," Oscar suddenly said. The man turned and smiled faintly. "Give me all the proposals you made. I will help you improve your reputation in the company."

As Lisa said earlier, she was initially unwilling to accept Oscar's help. She had received help from that man too many times. But now her mind was completely stuck, not knowing what to do. Maybe this would be the last time she's fine with Oscar's intervention.

If Oscar helped her, Lisa's good name could be restored, and everything would be fine in the future.
