Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO’s Plaything

The next morning, Andien got up earlier than Lisa. She was busy preparing breakfast for her and her best friend who was still fast asleep, and her two pet cats.

While waiting for the food, Andien approached Lisa and shook her body. It looked like Lisa was really overwhelmed from last night. How could she not? Lisa failed to get married and had to confront the woman who'd snatched her future husband from her. Not to mention that she came to Andien's apartment getting soaked in rain.

"Lisa, wake up. Breakfast is almost ready. Eat so that you don't feel weak when you look for jobs later," Andien said while shaking Lisa's shoulder. Several times she shook her but her best friend just didn't flinch. Since she didn't want to disturb Lisa any longer, she decided not to wake her up. Andien stored the breakfast she had just made in the cupboard and left a piece of paper for Lisa to read when she woke up later.

This morning, Andien took the initiative to invite Lisa to look for work together, but it was impossible for her best friend to wake up like any normal day so she went alone.

Six hours later, Andien returned to her apartment. She saw that the breakfast she made this morning was still there, completely untouched. Andien immediately approached Lisa anxiously and shook her friend's lethargic body on the bed.

"Lis, haven't you woken up yet? It's afternoon already... Hey!"

Andien was shocked as she turned her friend's body around and looked at Lisa's face, pale as a ghost as if her blood had been completely drained. She immediately placed her palm on Lisa's forehead and found out that Lisa's body temperature was very high.

She caught a fever!

"Lisa! Wake up! You are burning! Damn, what if you have dengue fever? Come on, I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup!" Andien said fretfully.

Lisa did not pay attention to Andien's words at all. She woke up but was too weak to move her whole body, let alone speaking to her friend. She just blinked slowly in response.

"Lisa, oh my...! Can you wake up?" Andien asked again. This time her tone was more anxious than before.

Lisa didn't answer. The woman then closed her eyes, either fainting or sleeping.

Andien immediately panicked!

She didn't know what else to do other than taking Lisa to the hospital to be examined. She tried to help her sit down and leaned against the wall then lifted her up, but Lisa fell from her grasp again.

She was so panicked that she couldn't think of what to do. If only Lisa was still on good terms with Oscar, Andien wouldn't waste any time and contacted the golden haired man right away.

Just when Andien was trying to figure out how to take her best friend to the hospital, Lisa's cell phone rang. She picked up the phone without seeing the name of the caller.

"Hello, Lisa? I heard you've resigned, right? I just came back from my business trip yesterday. Shall we hang out?" A man's voice was heard from across the phone.

"Hello, sorry, this is Lisa's friend Andien. Are you Lisa's friend?" Andien asked the man on the other side.

"Yes, I was. Why didn't Lisa pick up the phone?"

"Oh, I'm really sorry, but Lisa is sick right now. Her body temperature is very high. Can you  help me take Lisa to the hospital, please? I don't have my own ride," Andien replied in a tone full of anxiety.

Hearing her words just now made the man on the other side surprised. Without thinking, he immediately replied, "She has a high fever!? Okay I will come right away. Where's Lisa now?"

"Lisa is in my apartment, can I have your phone number? I'll share the location later," Andien replied, a bit relieved but still restless.

"Okay, this is my number, 0858085354. I'll be there as soon as I receive your location. Wait for me, okay?"

The call was immediately closed. Andien took a deep breath as she rubbed Lisa's burning forehead. She saw her friend's lips turn so pale as if she was drained of blood.

Twenty minutes later, someone came knocking on Andien's apartment door.

"Excuse me, I am Bastian, the one who called earlier. Where's Lisa?" The man said.

"Ah, thank goodness you are here. Come in, Lisa is in bed," said Andien, pointing to Lisa.

***

Arriving at the hospital. The doctor checked on Lisa's condition and said that shad to be hospitalized until her fever dropped since she was suspected of having dengue fever. Andien and Bastian then waited for Lisa, who was still asleep until she woke up.

The IV line had been installed, along with the oxygen hose. The doctor advised not to wake Lisa up if she didn't wake up on her own.

After nearly 3 hours of falling asleep, Lisa woke up with a blurry vision. Her consciousness slowly came back to her. Lisa tried to look around her, feeling strange since Andien's room was not as big as the one she was currently in. Andien's room also didn't smell like disinfectant. Lisa paused for a moment then thought, where was she now?

When Andien locked eyes with Lisa, she said, "Lisa! Thank God you woke up. Finally… "

"Huh…?" Lisa writhed weakly. "Where am I? Wait, why am I in the hospital!??"

"You have a high fever! I was panicked so I just brought you here!" Andien replied.

"Oh my, my lips are really dry. Can you please get me some water?" Lisa asked weakly.

Without saying much, Andien immediately poured water into a glass and then handed it to Lisa. "Here, drink it slowly so as not to choke."

"Thanks for bringing me to the hospital. Am I really sick?"

"The doctor suspects you have dengue fever, so you still have to stay here until your fever drops. Bastian and I brought you here," Andien said.

Hearing that name made Lisa startled and surprised. "Hah? What is Bastian doing with us? Wait, how come he knows your apartment?"

"So your friend Bastian called you but I picked it up because I was confused about what to do with you and I can't carry you by myself. I'm not strong, so I asked him to help me take you to the hospital," replied Andien.

"Well, where does that kid go now?" Lisa asked, surprised that she didn't see the man anywhere in her room.

"He went out to buy some food for you," Andien answered.

Lisa just nodded in return and then moved back into bed.

"Lis, how come you have such a handsome friend like Bastian? Seriously, I've never heard you talk about Bastian to me before!" Andien asked noisily with a mischievous smile.

"Oh, how come you never met Bastian anyway? He used to be in HRD when he was still working with us at Petersson Communication!" Lisa replied.

"Huh, seriously? I've never seen him, okay!" Andien was shocked.

"I hadn't seen him in the office either, haha," said Lisa with a chuckle.

"Lis, I swear I'm so jealous of you! You can have a cute guy friend like him. Unlike me, no boy would want to be near me," Andien replied, complaining a little.

"What are you talking about! Bastian and I have nothing to do, we're just office buddies!"

"You sure? You guys don't look like it," Andien teased. She poked Lisa's shoulder flirtatiously.

Hearing those words just now made the expression on Lisa's face change. It suddenly turned sour and she looked irritated.

Seeing her friend's unpleasant face, Andien immediately regretted it. "Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I'm just kidding .. "

"Just relax, it's useless to wish for a boy to approach you in the future anyway! As if you don't have anything more important to worry about," Lisa replied firmly.

Not long after, a person entered without knocking with two plastic bags that looked like food wraps. The man immediately smiled happily when he saw Lisa was awake.

"Lisa! You finally wake up!"
