Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO’s Plaything

It'd been a week since she got accepted, Lisa started working as usual in her new office. She felt comfortable in the new office. In a short time, Lisa got to know her colleagues in the finance department.

Although there were not many employees, her other 3 colleagues were very friendly and easy to work with. There's only one employee in the finance department who didn't seem to like Lisa.

Since the first time she met Lisa, Riani Permata had cast an unpleasant look at her. Riani was the longest serving employee at Colors Advertising. She felt that she was the oldest and that she deserved respect as the senior employee in the finance department. That's why she really didn't like it when there's a new employee who's younger and smarter than her.

Lisa was an employee with these criteria. She was two years younger than Riani, smarter and more persistent at work. No wonder Riani disliked Lisa early in the workday.

Every single time she worked with Lisa, Riani always looked for loopholes in Lisa's mistakes as an excuse so that she could scold Lisa.

Not only that, Riani really liked to comment on Lisa without being asked as if Lisa was a naive college girl and didn't know anything about the world of work.

From the start of Lisa's work until today, Riani never asked her to chat. Lisa took it easy, keeping her cool though she had to deal with that annoying woman. When she was still working at Petersson Communication, she was confronted by two demonic women such as Karina and Clara. Facing Riani was not too big of a deal for her, since she had been through hell before.

The important thing was that Lisa must be able to maintain integrity and a professional attitude in her new work environment. Luckily, the finance department employee only contained 4 people, so Lisa didn't bother thinking about one person who didn't like her just because she was younger and smarter.

When work hours ended, Lisa decided to release her stress from work at a shopping center not far from the office. The streets were very congested late in the evening so Lisa wanted to walk around for a bit and check out new clothes while enjoying a snack.

Holding the ice cream bowl and walking around, suddenly Lisa saw a tall, lanky woman who was familiar in her eyes.

The woman who walked in front of her was wearing a long white dress with red accents on the hem. Beside her, a middle aged woman was pushing a stroller.

Lisa squinted trying to make sure that the one she saw from a distance was really the woman she knew.

As the two women walked forward and their steps were getting faster and closer, the woman's face finally could be seen clearly.

"Seriously!" Lisa said in an irritated voice when the tall woman began to appear clearly in her eyes.

"Oh God, I never thought that we would meet again. Lisa," Clara said slyly.

Lisa swept the woman and found her holding a baby. Clara looked at her triumphantly.

"Why do I have to meet you of all people!?" Lisa snorted.

"Don't ask me, I also don't want to meet you!" Clara replied arrogantly. She scoffed as her chin lifted.

Beside her, Mrs. Rusminah was pushing a stroller. Lisa suspected that the child Clara was carrying was Clara's biological child with Oscar!

"Who are you carrying? Is that the child of the person you are playing with?" Lisa mocked as she crossed her arms.

"Oh Lisa, you haven't changed. Tacky as always. This is my son with Oscar. His name is William Petersson. Handsome like his father, smart like his mother!" Clara explained as she tossed her shiny jet-black hair.

'Smart my ass! He's still a baby!' Lisa snorted irritably in her mind.

Lisa stared at the baby Clara was carrying. She paid attention to every corner of the baby's face and eye color and hair. At first glance, the baby really looked like Oscar with black hair like Clara.

The baby's face was so adorable. Suddenly Lisa's maternal instincts emerged when she stared at the innocent little William's face. Unfortunately, this innocent baby must be born from the womb of a mother with a rotten heart like Clara!

"Then what are you doing here? Showing off your child to me?" Lisa asked irritably.

"Lisa, this is the Mall. Mall is a public place, you understand that right? I'm here to take William for a walk and relax! Don't speak as if you are the owner of this Mall! You can't just throw me out of this place!" Clara said fiercely.

"Who the hell wants to kick you out? But why are you proud to introduce your child to me though I'm not interested?!" Lisa replied, getting annoyed.

"Oh Lisa, have you forgotten that I was the only woman Oscar loved? Your marriage to Oscar was truly an accident and the biggest mistake you ever made! Now Oscar is back to me. I am willing to do anything for him. I will be a devoted wife for him!"

Clara narrowed her eyes and gave Lisa a fierce gaze. She deliberately provoked Lisa so that Lisa's confidence would collapse!

Suddenly, baby William cried loudly. Clara patted the baby's back slowly, soothing the baby's ear-splitting cries.

"Dear William, don't cry... Mama's here... Ouch sorry, does Lisa make you afraid, son?" Clara deliberately said to provoke Lisa.

Hearing that sentence, Lisa's patience started to run out. The woman threw half of the ice cream in her hand on Clara's face.

Clara was shocked and screamed. She almost dropped the baby that she held on her arms. Mrs. Rusminah then rushed to catch the baby.

"You...! What was that for!?!" Clara shouted. She felt that her patience had also run out.

"That should be my line, you idiot! I'm the one who should be asking why do you have to keep showing off your kid to me? You want to piss me off on purpose, don't you?" Lisa exclaimed in a loud voice, pointing at Clara's face with her index finger.

"You dumbhead! Get away from me! Go or I'll call for security!" Clara pointed towards the exit while raising the volume of her voice.

The shopping center visitors began to turn their attention to the two women who were bickering.

When Lisa realized that she and Clara were being watched, she chose to back off and not get into a fierce fight. She didn't want her fight with Clara to be recorded and uploaded to the internet until it went viral!

Without saying much, Lisa immediately ran to the exit, feeling upset and sick.

"Bastard, why do I have to meet Clara again!?" She clicked her tongue irritably.. She threw the ice cream bowl into the wastebasket and made a very loud sound.
