"I don't like red roses. Just take it if you want. Take it and never show it before my eyes again." Lisa continued, her tone was as cold as the air in the room.
At first, Cicilia meant to say it just to express her feelings of jealousy. But she didn't think that Lisa would give her the red rose that her boyfriend gave her!
"Oh my gosh, Lisa. Is this real?" Cicilia asked in disbelief as she walked towards the window. "Oops, next time your boyfriend gives you a red rose, it's better if you just call me! Instead of throwing it away, it's better to give it to me."
Cicilia took a deep inhale of the red rose and smiled, "Thank you, Miss Lisa."
"You're welcome. Quickly take the flower out of this room."
In these two days, Lisa did not have any physical contact with Oscar. After getting used to being in contact with him all day, whether it was on the road or at home, now that they were not touching made the woman almost go crazy.
She missed Oscar's body warmth, but of course she wouldn't say that to that man!
Every day, Lisa goes about her day feeling empty and walks with heavy footsteps. After work, she rushed to the daycare and picked up William. After that, they went home, had dinner, and she helped William with schoolwork in his room. Then, when the clock on the wall showed 9 pm, Lisa read the boy a fairy tale.
Two days Lisa lived her day monotonously with no spirit at all.
As usual, after William fell asleep, Lisa just entered the guest room. She no longer shared the same room with Oscar as she used to.
That night, Lisa missed Oscar so much for some reason. Without realizing it, the feeling of longing made Lisa almost cry. It had been a long time since she had seen Oscar and touched him.
Two days ago, Oscar said that he still had a lot of work in the office so he couldn't come to dinner. At that time, Lisa thought that Oscar was just joking and would come back right at dinner time. When the man didn't come while they were eating, Lisa thought that Oscar would be home at 9 pm.
But this waiting game kept dragging on for so long and Lisa still hadn't seen Oscar's nose even after that. Finally, the woman took her phone from the small table beside her bed and attempted to contact him.
The first call was not received and made Lisa think that maybe the man was attending an important meeting. Lisa got up from the bed and entered the bathroom to wash her face. About 5 minutes later, the woman tried to call Oscar's cell phone again.
But the result is the same. The man never received her call.
Maybe Oscar was really busy and his cell phone was muted so he didn't hear the call. Having such thoughts made her try to call Oscar's office.
Not long after Lisa tried to dial the number, a cheerful female voice came from the other side.
"Petersson Communication, is there anything I can help you with?"
Who is that woman?
Lisa got out of bed and returned the woman's greeting, "Hello. Can I speak to Mr Oscar Petersson?"
"May I know who this is?" The woman asked kindly.
"Lisa Soewandi."
"Ah!" The woman sounded like she had stopped typing something on the keyboard, "Miss Lisa, good evening. Mr. Oscar has not been in the office since 6 pm. Do you want to leave a message for Mr. Oscar? I'll tell him tomorrow."
Hearing the woman's words made Lisa frown. The fire of emotion in her chest was getting hotter and hotter, causing her to unconsciously clench her palms together. Lisa's determination to finish Oscar when the guy comes home is getting bigger and bigger!
When the woman didn't hear a reply from Lisa, she said again, "Hello? Is there an important message I need to convey to Mr. Oscar? I will pass it to him tomorrow morning."
"No need. Please don't tell Mr Oscar that I called. Thank you." Lisa replied after a moment of silence.
Without giving the woman a chance to reply, Lisa immediately hung up.
Two days ago, Oscar told her that he had so much work to do in the office that he couldn't come home early. But she just got word that Oscar hadn't been in the office since 6 pm!
There was only one answer that filled Lisa's mind, "Oscar is a liar!"
Ever since she knew Oscar, she thought that she knew the man well enough. The biggest lie the man had ever told her was about William and Clara.
That's why Lisa trusted Oscar with all her soul. She gave all her trust to Oscar without a second thought.
Lisa never doubted him and the way he was telling her things. But now, after hearing that, she became doubtful towards Oscar.
Starting from the mysterious woman with the name 'My Favorite', to Oscar's reason why he didn't come home two days in a row.
It turned out that Oscar had not been in the office since 6 pm. That meant he was somewhere else and had walked out of the office since 3 hours ago. Why would he lie to her to this extent? What was he trying to hide?
Even though Lisa and Oscar don't have a close relationship like a married couple because they haven't remarried, Lisa hopes that Oscar never lies to her and hides something from her.
Because all this time, Lisa was one hundred percent sure that she had never hidden anything from that man— apart from sleeping pills she bought at her desperate moment.
But she was doing that for Oscar's sake because she didn't want to live without that bastard!
Slowly, Lisa tried to remember Oscar's recent attitude towards her.
When viewed with the naked eye, his attitude may look ordinary— it's just that heit tends to be romantic. But if she looks at it with the eyes of her heart, Lisa just realized that Oscar's hiding something from her.
He changed his phone password, mysterious calls at night, and so on.
Feelings of worry, jealousy, and other bad feelings filled Lisa's heart slowly but surely.
She hoped that she could meet Oscar and slap the man's handsome face in the near future.
How dare he lie to Lisa so bluntly!
