Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO’s Plaything

When Lisa saw that her fridge was full of vegetables and fruits complete with various kinds of meat, the woman then thought of the figure of a tall, thin man with charming black curls. She immediately grabbed her cell phone and made a call.

"Hello?" The man answered from across. His voice sounded cheerful and light as usual.

"Wow, I really need to thank you for filling my refrigerator, I feel like I own the whole Indiemart! It's crazy, my boarding house was so clean when I came back from the hospital. I wonder how you did it all," Lisa expressed her gratitude to Rangga.

"Hey, hey, you are my best friend and you have been close to me since I was a kid. Don't hesitate with me!" Rangga replied cheerfully. The man chuckled happily at Lisa's voice after he hadn't seen her for a long time. The last time Rangga met her was when he intended to visit her at the hospital but Oscar forbade him.

Lisa's heart blossomed when she heard Rangga's distinctive light voice. Hearing the man's voice was like hearing good news on the radio in the morning. Lisa was silent for a long time because she didn't know what else to say other than to say her gratitude to Rangga.

"Ah, Lisa," Rangga called from across the silence. "Your fridge is small so I can only buy that much. Forgive me, okay? If your refrigerator was a little bit bigger, I might buy you more drinks and food!"

"Hey don't bother! What are you? A restaurant supplier?" Lisa said jokingly.

"When do you want to come back to work again, Lis?" Rangga asked casually.

"Do I still have to work at your place?" Lisa asked, surprised to hear Rangga's question. At the hospital, she thought that if her eyes didn't recover then she would lose her job. But it seemed that Lisa forgot that her eyes had completely recovered.

"You're already healed, right? You can see clearly now, right? Don't tell me you are permanently blind," Rangga asked, a little worried.

"Shush! Of course I don't! Yes, I can see clearly again like before. If not, how could I look at your cell phone's number and then call you like now?" Lisa said irritably. She had her hands on her hips.

"Well, if that's the case, can I take it as it's okay for you to come back to work again? Even  if you're really blind, I won't leave you jobless either, Lis. I will definitely help you find a job!" Rangga explained, chuckling.

"Rangga, I know you will definitely help me, it's just.... I just feel reluctant to go back to your office. I just made it because of you, but I kept turning back and forth as if I didn't have any shame left," Lisa said softly.

"Hey, don't say it like that. It was never your fault! Remember, I was also responsible because I didn't pay attention to the security of my own company. And most of all, this was Karina's fault. It's because you and I were having a hard time. Just like this, I'll give you a day tomorrow for you to rest and then you come back to the office the day after tomorrow. How about that? Do you agree?"

Hearing Rangga's explanation just now, Lisa immediately smiled happily. "Thanks! You are the best!" She exclaimed cheerfully.

"Alright, I'll hang up now. I still have a meeting. See you the day after tomorrow! Don't forget to eat a lot and get enough rest!" Rangga said before immediately hanging up the call.

Two days later, Lisa returned to work at the Colors Advertising office as usual. The atmosphere in the office didn't feel like it was before. A very unpleasant glance immediately fell on her as she was walking into the finance department's room. The employee who had witnessed the embarrassing incident a week ago looked at Lisa with a condescending look as if she didn't deserve to work in Rangga's advertising office.

Discordant voices filled the hallway as Lisa stepped inside.

"I heard it, the new financial manager had a fight yesterday. I heard she said she used to work at Petersson Communication and then she went out with her boss!"

"What a shameless prick. Isn't she ashamed to go back to work here? At that time, I was embarrassed about this office for allowing a fight between an employee with an MLM sales person. If I were Lisa, I would just ignore her and carry on with my works!"

Lisa still walked through the hallway regardless of the unpleasant talk. But in her heart, those bad words were very painful and made her rage a little burning. Lisa tried to ignore the unpleasant chatter of other employees by speeding up her pace.

Arriving at the doorstep of the finance department's room, Lisa put her tote bag on her desk and turned on the computer. That was the first time she saw the fierce faces of her co-workers, especially Riani. It seemed that the woman with the gloomy face was unhappy about Lisa coming back to the office again. She hoped that Lisa would go away forever.

Fortunately, she still had one person who was nice to her— Sarah Bernadotta. The woman then approached Lisa with enthusiasm and a radiant face. Sarah immediately embraced Lisa, feeling happy with her arrival. "Sis Lisa! God, I'm so worried! Nothing bad happened right? Are you hurt anywhere?"

"Hehe, I'm fine. Luckily, I didn't become permanently blind!" Lisa answered plainly.

"Uhhh… So... yesterday, an MLM person walked into this office, what's her name? Karina? Did you find anything about it yet?" Sarah asked curiously.

"Unfortunately not yet, huh I'm too lazy to talk about Karina," Lisa replied briefly. Her face was filled with dislike when she heard Karina's name in her ear.

"Eh? Why is it like that, Sis!? At that time, she purposely pushed you. Don't you have to report her to the police?" Sarah insisted.

Hearing Sarah's words made Lisa's emotions even more chaotic. She understood Sarah's intentions weren't bad, but the timing was so wrong. Lisa took a deep breath and then gave Sarah a deadly gaze.

"Sar, don't you think you should just leave it? You don't have to go into my personal matters!"

Hearing Lisa's sharp words scare Sarah, the woman then immediately returned to her desk and struggled with her computer.

Lisa struggled with her job that morning, and after an hour, her cell phone on the table suddenly vibrated. She was so busy, Lisa deliberately ignored the call. Then a few minutes later the call came back. But Lisa didn't care anymore. Her phone kept ringing until the 5th or 6th call, Lisa finally felt annoyed.

She picked up the call, looking annoyed at the caller. "Yes, hello, I'm busy, what's wrong?"

"Lisa! Is that how you talk to your mother?" Kumala answered from across the phone.

"M-Mom…! What's the matter, Mom!?"
