Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO’s Plaything

It was a busy morning, all Petersson Communication employees were so focused on their work. It'd been almost a month since she started working at Petersson Communication, but Clara hadn't shown herself in the office.

In her early days working there, Clara always came on time even though her performance was very bad. But she got a plus point and it was her punctuality. Andien, who had worked in the finance department at a telecommunications company for a long time, began to wonder where Clara had gone. It was already 9 am but why hadn't the woman shown up?

If an employee was only 10 minutes late, Damar would immediately reprimand them and cut their salary if they came late for 3 times.

Not long after, a woman in high heels came from the doorstep of the finance department. The woman was wearing a black top and white pants. The make-up looked natural and not too much as usual.

Clara was very late. Surprisingly, Damar didn't scold Clara at all! Andien eagerly waited for the moments when Damar reprimanded Clara so that the evil woman would be ashamed of her actions. But surprisingly, he didn't do it this morning.

Damar rose from his desk behind Clara and made an important announcement. Clara was now officially the supervisory team for the finance department. She was responsible for monitoring the work of employees in the finance department on a daily basis. She was assigned the task to reprimand employees who stole time to use cell phones for personal use during working hours, arrived late, and smuggled snacks into the room!

In short, Clara was promoted in just over a month! Even older employees who worked at Petersson Communication earlier than her took years to be promoted to higher positions.

Andien understood very well why that evil woman could be promoted so quickly. Yes, Andien's guess was right. Oscar seemed to have a crush on Clara. How was it possible for an incompetent new employee to immediately be promoted in just a month if she was not close to the president?

The employees at Petersson Communication were not stupid either. They found out about Oscar's affair with Clara at work. It's just that they didn't have strong evidence to accuse them so they preferred to be silent.

A nightmare for Andien and her colleagues in her department had started. Clara sure had a strict eye to patrol the performance of employees in the finance department! Just this morning, Clara rebuked an employee who was late for 3 minutes and decided to cut his break time at the office for a week. Really, that was too much!

Andien felt like she'd been enslaved by an incompetent woman like Clara!

After work, Andien stopped by Lisa's house to vent her anger. Working in the office with Clara as her superior really took a toll on her health both physically and mentally!

"Lis, you don't know what I'm feeling right now. Starting today, it seems like my life at Petersson Communication turned upside down!"

"Why, are you being bothered by Clara again?"

"No, it's worse than that! Since she came to your husband's company, a lot has changed! How could an incompetent person like her got promoted to be part of the supervisory team of the finance department in just a month!? I just heard that there is a monitoring team today, Lis! This must have been made up so that Clara could go around the office! Earlier, when I saw Clara checking attendance, someone was late for 3 minutes and she immediately cut their rest hours! Isn't that crazy? I really can't imagine my life there Lis."

"I see. It's crazy indeed. Clara is so close to my husband that she can do whatever she wants in the office!"

"Duhh she isn't human, Lis! Clara is a demon!" Andien exclaimed with an irritated look.

Lisa hugged her best friend with affections. She channeled her positive energy so that her friend could be calmer.

"By the way, Lis, how are you? Have you talked to your husband?"

Hearing Andien's question, Lisa immediately changed her face. She lowered her head and chuckled at herself. The problem with talking to her husband today was not that easy. Not to mention that her husband often came home late and went out of town. How could Lisa get Oscar to talk like this?

"Seriously, haven't you talked to your husband, Lis?"

"Ah, forget it Ndien. I don't want to discuss my husband anymore! Let's talk about something else!"

An hour had passed, dinner time had arrived. Lisa brought Andien down to the dining room to join her. She saw Mrs. Rusminah had prepared all the food on the table.

"Miss Andien please sit down, dinner is ready!" Mrs. Rusminah said in a friendly tone and a happy smile.

Actually, Andien didn't want to join Lisa for dinner at Oscar's house but seeing the luxurious and appetizing dishes on the dining table made Andien think twice about going home and eating on the street.

"Sorry to bother, I just wanted to go home and have some street food," Andien reluctantly said to Mrs. Rusminah.

"Don't hesitate, Miss Andien! I prepare delicious food for Miss Lisa every day. Since Miss Andien stopped by, let's eat together!"

Andien took the plate and cutlery next to her. She stared at the dish on the table with sparkling eyes. The opportunity to eat such luxurious dishes at a friend's house won't come twice, she thought!

"Mrs. Rusminah's cooking is delicious! Her cooking isn't less tasty than famous chefs! Am I right, ma'am?" Lisa said, glancing at Mrs. Rusminah.

Lisa spooned a dim sum to Andien's mouth. She was right, Mrs. Rusminah's cooking was really good! Without saying much, Andien immediately took the side dishes and ate them. Andien really enjoyed Mrs. Rusminah's cookings.

There were only Lisa and Andien at the dining table. Mrs. Rusminah stood at the end of the dining room to wait to take any empty plate to the washing place. Lisa couldn't bear to see Mrs. Rusminah just stood at the corner while watching the two women eating heartily. "Mrs. Rusminah is not busy, right? Come eat with us!"

"Oh no, miss, I'm not hungry!" Mrs. Rusminahh appreciated Lisa's kindness but the middle aged woman realized that she was just a servant. How could she eat with her master?

"It's fine! As long as nobody says too much!" Lisa whispered.

"Let's eat with us, ma'am! As long as the owner isn't coming back yet," Andien added with a giggle.

Mrs. Rusminah remained in her position. She refused Lisa's sweet invitation and rushed into the kitchen to bring the empty plates and refill the drinks for the two women having their dinner together that night.

Not long after the two women enjoyed dinner, the living room's door opened and someone came inside. The man was wearing a black coat with matching trousers combined with a white shirt with red stripes.. The man walked in with steady steps.
