"Last offer, 8000 times. If you don't agree, just write 10000 times!"

Lisa didn't know what possessed the man that he didn't budge as he said it in a cold voice.

Annoyed that her request was not granted, Lisa punched the wind with her fists. If she dared to fight back, maybe her fist would have hit Oscar's chest!

"I want it handwritten, not typed." Oscar continued, making Lisa even more annoyed.

Writing apologies 8000 times? What the hell was she? A child?!

Lisa was familiar with such punishment during her school days. Throughout her life as a child until her teens, Lisa often misbehaved and disobeyed the teacher's order. Sometimes, she and her friends were told to write an apology hundreds or even thousands of times as a punishment.

But by the time she was in college, Lisa was no longer familiar with this kind of punishment. Aside from the fact that she was getting older, the lecturers don't care about those who had no intention of learning.

Now Lisa didn't think that she would meet her old friend— the writing punishment! Who would have thought that she, a woman in her 30s and a child, was told to write 8000 times?

Oscar frowned when he heard footsteps behind him. The man stopped walking and turned around, "Why did you follow me upstairs? Wait downstairs. I just want to change clothes for a bit and then we can have dinner together."

Lisa's footsteps automatically stopped and she turned around like an obedient child. But as she descended the stairs, she couldn't stop grumbling.

"Now you're inviting me to dinner. What the hell do you really want? Ugh I swear you want me to die young! Does he think I still have an appetite after he told me to write so many times?"

About 10 minutes later, Oscar came back down the stairs, this time in his house clothes. He only glanced at Lisa for a moment, seeing that the woman was still frowning and walked towards the dining room. It wasn't long before he heard the sound of soft footsteps following him from behind.

As soon as Lisa sat across from Oscar, the man opened the white and light brown folding serving hood.

Lisa could feel her stomach immediately shaking violently. The last meal she ate was the bento Cicilia gave her. Earlier at the mall, the woman didn't have time to eat, she didn't even feel hungry because she was too sad that she couldn't buy William a toy.

Apart from her stomach that was vibrating violently, Lisa thought that she needed a sufficient supply of food to write 8000 words. If she doesn't eat much, she might not have sufficient energy to carry out her punishment!

After finishing the food in front of her, she saw Oscar was still slowly devouring the vegetables.

Mrs. Rusminah has been in the dining room as usual. The middle-aged woman would not leave before they finished eating. Usually, she would clean the kitchen and then leave.

Lisa turned and saw the maid standing with her back to them. "Mrs. Rusminah, you can go home now. Let me do the chores later."

"Ah?" Mrs. Rusminah immediately turned off the tap and turned her head, "It's okay, Mrs. Lisa. Just let me—"

But Lisa persisted and shook her head. "It's okay. Every once in a while, let me do the housework."

Hearing that made Mrs Rusminah choose to grant her request. As long as Oscar didn't say anything, the middle-aged woman thought that the man had agreed to Lisa's request. Finally, she took off the light blue apron she was wearing and walked out of the dining room.

After Mrs. Rusminah left the dining room and kitchen, there was only Lisa and Oscar on the table. Lisa, who had already finished eating, was still sitting faithfully across from the man. From then until now, Oscar was a slow eater compared to Lisa. Just like now.

Either the food tasted so delicious that he didn't want to finish his meal right away, or that he intentionally ate slowly. Lisa didn't know either.

About 10 to 12 minutes later, Oscar put down his cutlery. He took the tissue that was available beside him and wiped the food remnants from the corners of his lips. The man then lifted his face and looked at Lisa with a sparkling gaze.

"What are you looking at?" Lisa nudged harshly. The woman stood up from the dining table's chair and took her dirty plate as well as Oscar's. "You think it's funny?"

Oscar cleared his throat, "Very funny indeed."

Hearing that made Lisa roll her eyes. He ignored Oscar's words and laughter before clicking her tongue and left to clean the kitchen as well as the dining room.

While Lisa was washing the dishes and drying them, Oscar was seen still sitting on the dining table chair watching her from behind. At first, he wanted to accompany Lisa, but since he still had some work to do tonight, he couldn't help but get up from the chair and leave her alone.

"Do you think that writing 8000 times is easy?" Lisa couldn't stop grumbling in her heart.

The reason she asked Mrs. Rusminah to leave them alone and let her clean the kitchen and wash the dishes was to buy time. The woman still did not give up and tried to think of what way she could change Oscar's mind so that she wouldn't need to write 8000 words.

But until now, she still had no idea at all! Her mind was filled with Oscar's ability to hijack her cell phone. Who would have thought that this man had minions like Dani, who probably did the job for him?

To be honest, Lisa couldn't believe it when the man said that he had hijacked her cell phone by himself. Oscar must have given strict orders to Dani or some other confidant to hijack her phone!

After cleaning the kitchen and drying the dishes she washed earlier, Lisa took her tote bag and climbed the stairs feeling annoyed. She needed to start her punishment now if she didn't want her work to pile up.

Oscar didn't really tell her when the result should be submitted, but Lisa estimated that the sooner she finished it, the better.

When she turned on the bedroom light, she saw no sign of the man's presence. The bathroom lights were also off, and the bed was still neatly arranged. Lisa then frowned and called the man's name.

"Oscar…?"

Lisa couldn't hear him from inside the room, but from the study next door, a voice came to her ear.

"Here."
