Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Actually, Lisa has noticed a change in Cicilia's attitude. The woman often glared at her or sometimes pretended not to see her whenever they passed each other.

But Lisa didn't think much of it. She was just trying to think positively and thought Cicilia was too busy with her work and maybe she didn't want to talk too much.

But that doesn't mean she doesn't think of Cicilia's attitude as weird. Sometimes she paused and wondered what made her not act like she used to be.

Not to mention that Cicilia looked at her neck and ran away nervously. Is there something wrong with her appearance today? Or worse, could it be that she didn't want to be friends with her because she looked pathetic now?

Lisa realized that her appearance looks messy. A few days ago, she couldn't sleep well and often woke up in the middle of the night, feeling worried that Oscar wouldn't come home. She knew that her eye bags must have thickened and turned black. Her eyes must have looked red all the time, and her pimples started to invade her face and so on.

After Cicilia came out of her room, Lisa took the cell phone that was stored in her tote bag. As Cicilia said before, her notifications were filled with missed calls as well as several messages from her.

Lisa cleared all those notifications and opened the camera app. When she pointed the front camera at her neck, the woman's eyes widened in shock! Purple and blue color adorned her neck!

No wonder Cicilia saw her like that!

She closed the camera on her phone and took a deep breath. Her hand which was still holding the ballpoint pen was tightly clenched, and in the next second, she was pounding her desk with the pen.

"You bastard...! How dare you embarrass me with all these hickeys!"

The woman opened her desk drawer and tried to find something that could cover the pathetic condition of her neck. Lisa found a white scarf that she used to keep there, but she couldn't imagine wearing a scarf in a closed room.

She didn't know how else she could avoid people's eyes now! Lisa was sure if she put on that scarf, she would be everyone's topic of gossip for the whole week!

Suddenly, the woman remembered something and opened her tote bag. Inside the small make-up bag, Lisa found a bottle of liquid foundation. 

Although the foundation couldn't cover Oscar's bite marks to the fullest, the important thing was that they were no longer visible.

Since Lisa is late for work, her work can be said to be piling up. She didn't know that Cicilia had sent her a message on Saturday saying she had some documents she needed to read. Finally, that Monday morning, Lisa couldn't help but spend her time behind the desk.

Time was running fast and she couldn't believe it's already 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

The cost for being late to the office was to work during lunch hours. When her co-workers went out to lunch together, whether it was in the cafeteria downstairs or a restaurant at a mall nearby, Lisa had to forget about lunch and finish her work in no time.

Nobody knew how long it took, Lisa leaned her head on the back of the leather chair and closed her eyes. Her eyes felt hot and dry from looking at the computer screen for too long.

For the next few moments, Lisa rested her eyes. The woman then planned to go out for a while and get some fresh air. Maybe she'll stop by the coffee shop next door, because she really needs caffeine in her body!

Lisa got up from her work chair, took her tote bag, and walked out of the office. Before she could press the elevator button, she felt her wrist being pulled from behind.

"Eh Lis," Aaron shook his head, "I mean Miss Lisa, don't you want to go with me and the others?"

Lisa frowned and asked, "Where are you guys going?"

"Oh, don't you know? Hasn't Mrs. Indri told you yet?" Aaron asked, his face looking just as confused as Lisa.

"What's going on?"

"Today is Mrs. Indri's last day working here, so she wants to invite us to have dinner together. A farewell party you might say. She invited all employees from the Finance Division so I think you're also invited. Then, let's go with us, shall we?"

Hearing that immediately made Lisa confused. Indri resigned from this company?

At that moment, a question popped up in her mind. Did Indri choose to resign because of her? If so, Lisa would always feel guilty. 

Was it because Oscar rejected her love confession? Maybe the reason Indri hated Lisa even more was because Oscar said to her that he still loved Lisa. 

Maybe Indri chose to resign from her job because she wanted to start a new life. 

While Lisa was busy with her own thoughts, Aaron suddenly snapped her out of her reverie again. "So? Do you want to come with us? If yes, it's better if we just go down now."

"If I may suggest, you'd better come along," Aaron continued when he didn't get a reply from Lisa, "Indri is our boss, so naturally we need to come to the farewell party. Besides, now that you're the Manager in the Finance Division, so… just come."

If it weren't because of Oscar, Lisa and Indri would never have had a problem. 

Even though Indri used to help her because of Oscar, the woman still helped her in times of crisis. If Indri was reluctant to help her, maybe Lisa would still be a regular employee now. None of her co-workers would want to speak to her or even greet her first.

Lisa felt indebted to that woman.

And now Indri suddenly resigned from her job. Without Aaron alone telling her, Lisa would definitely attend the dinner that afternoon. Even when she wasn't personally invited. 

Having such thoughts made Lisa nod her head. "Okay, I'm coming with you."

"Well then," Aaron raised his left hand and looked at the watch that was wrapped around his wrist, "Let's go now.. They're waiting for us downstairs."
