Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO’s Plaything
Chapter 571 - Dinner
At first, Lisa thought that Rangga wouldn't beat around the bush and immediately said what the man wanted to say to her.
But when they sat in the car, neither of them made a sound. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of the tires hitting the asphalt.
Just when Rangga's car stopped at one of the traffic lights, the man just made a sound. "I- I haven't eaten tonight. Shall we eat out first?"
Actually, Lisa wanted to refuse Rangga's invitation to eat out. She prefers to eat instant noodles in the apartment while looking at her laptop screen rather than having to eat in such an awkward atmosphere with Rangga.
But before she could refuse Rangga's invitation, the man's car had stopped at one of the Chinese food restaurants located on the outskirts of the city. Again, without letting Lisa react, the man got out of the car and rushed to open the driver's seat door.
Like it or not, Lisa had to get out of the car and walk beside Rangga.. It seemed that the man had planned everything, because as soon as they arrived at the entrance, Rangga said his name and they were led inside.
Perhaps because Rangga had booked a place in advance, the two of them were taken to an area that wasn't too crowded. They were led to a table by the large window. Vehicle lights and street lights can be seen clearly thanks to the clear window glass.
After ordering the food they wanted, the atmosphere at table number 21 was awkward. Just like what Lisa had imagined earlier, the atmosphere was so awkward. Even more awkward than when Lisa was caught wearing a turtleneck because of Oscar's bite marks.
Lisa played with the hem of the jet black skirt she was wearing and chose to break their silence.
"So, what do you want to tell me?"
"This afternoon, I visited Maria and ugh… I'm really sorry for what she did to you..." Rangga replied while looking down. So guilty, he couldn't show his face to the woman, "This afternoon, Maria told me everything."
There is not a day that Rangga doesn't go through without feeling guilty. He often put Lisa in a difficult situation, and she was always in trouble because of his actions. Even though the problem with Maria happened without his knowledge, Rangga still feels guilty.
Maria did it all because the woman still held a grudge against Lisa. And it was all Rangga's fault.
Rangga still looked down even until the food they ordered arrived. He felt ashamed, guilty, disappointed, everything mixed together. The man really did not know where to put his face.
And during those few moments, Lisa didn't say anything. She took out the wooden chopsticks that were neatly stored, then looked at Rangga's reluctant gaze.
"Oh, it's okay. You don't have to look so sad. Besides, the problem has also been solved. It's not your fault either. I also understand why Maria did all this to me. Because if I were in her position, I would at least do the same thing. It's just... I would not do it like this."
"Wait," Rangga suddenly looked up and saw Lisa with sparkling eyes, "You don't blame me?"
Hearing that Lisa didn't blame him made Rangga's body instantly feel warm. His eyes sparkled, like there were thousands of stars living in them. He didn't think that after the problem happened to Lisa, she didn't blame him at all.
He was really worried in vain. When he came to pick up Lilia earlier, he was thinking of what he should say to her when he met her later.
After going through various problems in her life, Lisa came to know that everything happened for a purpose. If Maria didn't feel jealous and set her up, maybe Lisa is still an ordinary employee now. She wouldn't have been promoted and her salary wouldn't have been raised to better support her life.
"What Maria did was wrong, and I still can't forgive her until now. It's just that the problem is not your fault, but Maria's. Why do you have to apologize to me? The person who should apologize to me is Maria, not you."
Hearing that made Rangga laugh in relief. "Thank you, thank you very much for forgiving me."
Lisa cleared her throat and started to eat the seafood kwetiau she ordered.
"Lisa, are we... Ugh..." Rangga's throat suddenly felt dry like the Sahara desert. He had to loosen his collar so he could breathe easier. "Can we be friends again?"
Rangga knows very well that he and Lisa can't go back to how they used to be. But if they can be friends, Rangga will feel relieved. Because he can still care for Lisa and watch her and admire her from afar.
Lisa was silent while looking at the pink shrimp. She never thought that she and Rangga could be friends again like before. There were too many problems going on in their midst to make Lisa stop to hope.
If Rangga was really oblivious to Maria's wickedness, or worse yet, had a child with her, perhaps Lisa would have accepted his invitation,
Lisa has been hurt enough because she was once close friends with Rangga. And she was tired of all that had happened. It's better for her not to accept Rangga's invitation to become close friends again, because problem after problem keeps coming her way.
Lisa didn't want anyone to misunderstand her again.
"Sorry, I can't promise that we can be friends again. Today is the last day we meet, just consider this dinner as a farewell. I hope you can take good care of Bella and your child."
Lisa looked at Rangga closely and then sighed. She didn't expect that the day she had to face her ex-husband finally came.
"I hope you never try to contact me again. I don't want Maria or Bella to misunderstand again."
As soon as those words left Lisa's lips, Rangga's face changed drastically. If Lisa had the skill to read facial expressions, maybe she knew what the man was thinking now.
"Ah Lisa, about that..."
Rangga stroked the back of his neck then said, "Bella isn't pregnant anymore."
