Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO’s Plaything

After the man in the leather jacket left her boarding house, Lisa finally heaved a sigh of relief. She turned off the living room's light then went up to the second floor to her room. She turned on the light then looked around. There was no sign of Andien inside. Her friend had not come back from the office yet!

Lisa forgot that Andien was staying at her boarding house for a few days because the faucet in her apartment was broken and being repaired. She forgot that she just locked the gate and front door.

The woman then made sure that Andien had not returned from her office. She still saw Andien's small suitcase and belongings in the corner of her room. Then Lisa went back down to the living room in hasty steps and unlocked the fence.

Tonight, she couldn't sleep right away! She had to be awake until Andien came home. Her friend didn't have a spare key, so she waited for Andien on the living room's sofa.

The night was getting late and there was no sign from Andien. She still had not shown her nose in front of the boarding house. Lisa then started to worry, what if Andien was attacked by the two thieves? What if Andien was picked up at a crossroads? Horrible scenes began to pop out on Lisa's mind right now!

Woe to her, her cellphone was also thrown into the ditch by one of the thugs. What an unlucky day!

A moment later, Lisa took the initiative to go out looking for Andien. She was really worried that her friend was in danger. It was past one in the morning but Andien hadn't come yet!

The woman locked the front door and then came out of the boarding house. She walked around the alley looking for Andien with hurried steps. Her decision to leave was very risky, especially after she was attacked by thugs just a while ago.

But Lisa's hunch told her to go find Andien!

When her steps stopped at an intersection, she saw a plump woman looking at her from a distance. The woman shouted her name out loud.

"Andien!" Lisa approached her best friend and hugged her. "Gosh, I thought something happened to you! Are you okay?"

"What an idiot! I should be asking you, not the other way around! I heard that there were two robbers passing through this area earlier. I tried to call you but you didn't answer!"

For an instant, Lisa realized that her cellphone was thrown away. She didn't want to make her friend panic so she chose to lie to her.

"Oh, I swear the story is really complicated, Ndien. Anyway, my cellphone is broken and can't be turned on!"

Andien hurriedly grabbed Lisa's arm and invited her back to the boarding house. "Come on, let's go before another thug passes here!"

Even though Andien planned to take Lisa to dinner at the restaurant when she returned home, it  was already past midnight and they were both tired. So they returned to the bedroom and lay down their languid bodies.

Lisa then told Andien about how her cellphone was thrown away, and how Lisa was nearly raped by two thieves that Andien mentioned.

"Geez, you're lucky someone helped you! Though it's your ex-husband. Isn't it crazy to live in this area?" Andien spontaneously said.

"Yes, I'm just lucky anyway. But that's how it is. I lost my cell phone so what can I do?" Lisa grunted irritably as she threw the paper she crumpled.

"Yes, just forget about it first so you don't get dizzy. At least you're lucky that Oscar saved you. If not, I don't know what might happen to you after that!"

Lisa didn't respond to Andien. She just turned her back to her friend.

"Lis, what's the mark on your neck?" Andien asked when Lisa turned her back to her best friend.

"Oh, it's because I fought with that thief!" Lisa lied in a relaxed tone.

Andien just shook her head while stroking her friend's shoulder sympathetically. She turned off the light on Lisa's room and went back to bed.

"Alright, let's sleep. Good night!"

"I can't sleep, Ndien!" Lisa complained while blinking.

"Shush, just sleep! It's near morning!" Andien threw a pillow at Lisa's face.

Lisa snorted in annoyance. She could not close her eyes even though she was trying hard to. Today was a truly bizarre and terrifying day for her!

Starting from accidentally running into Clara, the demonic woman who destroyed her marriage, then getting ganged up by two thugs and then saved by her ex-husband who seemed to still love her. What a strange day!

Lisa couldn't sleep peacefully all night. She even met Oscar in her dream!

The man came dressed as neat and charming as before, except that he looked friendly and cheerful. In stark contrast to his real life's true nature!

Oscar approached Lisa and rubbed the wounds on her body. The man gently rubbed Lisa's sparkling skin with all his heart.

"So dear, if you go out at night, don't be alone," he said softly and kindly.

"But I don't want to depend on you Oscar," Lisa answered in her dream.

The man brought his face closer to Lisa. He touched Lisa's chin then kissed her lips gently. It was a very passionate and warm kiss, unlike the usual harsh and lustful kiss.

Lisa's body immediately fell to the touch of the man's full lips. She did not even dodge and brush away his touch. She enjoyed every second she spent receiving the man's love through the soft kiss until he finally bit her lip!

"Ah! It hurts! What are you doing, Oscar!?"

"Lisa, wake up!"

"Huh what!?"

"Wake up, Lis!"

"What do you mean I have to wake up, Oscar !?" Lisa asked in surprise.

"Lis, wake up! It's already morning! What are you waiting for!?"

Oscar's face instantly vanished when she realized that the sun had risen. It turned out it was Andien's voice that had woken her up.

"Lis, what kind of dream did you just have now? You look terrified," Andien asked curiously. She watched the beads of sweat pouring down Lisa's forehead.

"Ugh, I don't know. I swear that the dream is so weird!" Lisa replied frankly.

The woman then rubbed her eyes while sipping the plain water offered by Andien. She was silent for a moment and then took a deep breath.

"Lis, I'm going to go back to my apartment," Andien said.

"Have you fixed the tap?"

"It's done. I'm leaving today, okay? Thanks for allowing me to stay here," Andien embraced Lisa then brought all of her belongings downstairs.

Lisa opened the door and waved at Andien. Until then…

"Ndienn, don't go yet!" Lisa shouted. Andien turned around and came back to Lisa.

"What's wrong, Lis?" Andien asked curiously.

"Can you lend me your cell phone please? I want to get permission from Rangga that I'm going to rest for today!"

Andien then took out her cell phone from her tote bag and handed it to Lisa.

Lisa sent a message to Rangga then handed back Andien's cell phone. "Thanks Ndien! If you're employed or bored later, come play hanging out at my boarding house again!"
