Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO’s Plaything

"Ouch, oh my gosh Lisa… you drank a lot. I know I said we should take this opportunity to get drunk. But this isn't the way!" Maria said while accompanied by her crisp laughter.

Lisa started to feel her head spinning slowly. Her vision became blurry, either because of the bright light or the influence of the liquor she drank.

Maria took another glass of champagne and thrust it into Lisa's hand. "Do you know that drinking too much red wine is not good? Hurry up and drink this champagne so your stomach won't hurt!"

What Maria said was not true of course. Whose stomach wouldn't get hurt when they drank champagne? It's just that Lisa was drunk and couldn't think straight, so Maria dared to say that.

True to what Maria said, Lisa took the champagne glass without asking much. Like a kind and devoted woman, Lisa sipped the champagne glass without stopping.

No matter how much liquor she drank, Lisa couldn't stop looking at Oscar and Indri standing. The couple looked like they enjoyed their time talking to important figures who just looked as rich as them. Sometimes, the man smiled broadly and then looked at Indri, as if to make sure that the woman was laughing too.

Really sad.

Lisa should have realized that she and Oscar had no chance. Compared to her, Indri is indeed much more suitable to be Oscar's life partner.

Suddenly, just as Lisa was lost in her thoughts, she heard the voice of a man walking towards them.

"Oh my, Mrs. Maria, we finally met, huh!"

Hearing the male voice that she usually heard over the phone made Maria turn around quickly. The woman automatically smiled broadly and walked over to the stranger.

"Mr. Robert, I've been looking for you here for a while!"

Lisa turned and followed Indri's voice, finding the bald and stocky man. Now, standing in front of the table filled with liquor bottles made Lisa feel like a complete stranger. It seemed that she was the only one in the room who didn't know anyone.

While everyone was busy chatting with their co-workers, Lisa couldn't take her eyes off Oscar and Indri.

Lisa didn't like being a stranger, alone by herself surrounded by the talking crowd, so she decided to leave the two of them alone. After all, the two of them do look close and seem to have seen each other often.

However, before Lisa could turn around, Maria had already turned around and told her to come over to her. "Come here. There's someone I want to introduce you to."

The person is just an employee, her colleague.

Since Lisa had no other choice but to follow Maria's request, she walked over to the woman.

"Lisa, this is Mr. Robert, the finance manager at Bright Light. Be good with him because next month, our company will send a proposal for a cooperation." Maria said in a playful tone, then followed by the bald-headed man's loud laughter.

Maria turned and smiled widely. "Mr. Robert, this is Lisa Soewandi, one of my best employees at the Better Life company. You could say this woman is a dark horse in our company, hahaha!"

The bald-headed man laughed loudly and held out his hand. He smiled widely, showing his crooked teeth and golden jawline.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Lisa Soewandi!"

At first, Lisa did not want to make contact with him. For some reason, seeing that man made her think of Surya. From the way he stood, his distended stomach and not to mention his eyes that often watched his curves.

Even though Lisa wasn't wearing anything sexy, she still felt naked in front of him. She pretended to let out a cough, hoping that the man would notice the look in his eyes that made her feel uncomfortable!

After Maria nudged at her, Lisa just reached out and shook Robert's hand.

"Greetings, Mr. Robert. I hope that we can work well together  in the future." Lisa replied, trying to sound friendly.

The hairs on her neck started to stand on end, and the back of her brain seemed to be telling her to be careful around this strange man, especially when she felt he wouldn't let go of her hand.

"This geezer is definitely Surya's reincarnation!" Lisa grumbled in her heart.

But because she knew that the man possessed an important position for the company she would work with in the near future, Lisa couldn't help but smile politely. Only when the man's hands began to sweat did he let go of hers.

The man's two jet black eyes made Lisa feel as if she was being watched by the devil.

Out of the corner of her eye, Lisa could see Maria smiling widely and nodding her head slowly. But she didn't think further and thought maybe she was greeting her friend who happened to be walking around them.

"Well, Lisa, since you already know Mr. Robert, I will submit some documents that you must study regarding the project we will be working on together tomorrow. You guys talk first, get to know each other before starting our project." Maria suggested while taking a glass of red wine for her.

Before Lisa could protest and say that she prefers to follow Maria wherever she goes, Maria continued, "You stay here and talk to Mr. Robert. I have to go first, there is a close friend of mine who wants to talk to me for a while."

After saying that, Maria smiled kindly at Robert then walked away from them. As soon as Maria wasn't with them, an awkward atmosphere immediately surrounded the two.

Lisa, of course, didn't know Robert, never even heard of his name. So she didn't know what to say, or what kind of topic to talk about. But something seemed different about Robert, because as soon as Maria left, the man immediately opened the topic of conversation with ease.

"Lisa Soewandi, hmm, what a good name. Perfect for a beautiful woman like you." Robert praised without the slightest feeling of shame.

Lisa chuckled dryly, "Thank you sir."

"Ah, I heard they said you were the best graduate from your college, huh? Extraordinary. No wonder Better Life wants to recruit you…"

"Ah, no sir…"

"I also heard that you are an independent woman who never gets tired.. Persistent and hardworking too. Truly the type that all men dream of!"
