Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 118 - Raising Children

The next day, Lisa returned to work at Vira's studio. They began to supply new clothing stocks with trending styles in order to increase sales profits. It's not easy being the boss. At first, Lisa thought that being the boss was nice because she didn't have to bother doing mountain tasks. But her guess was wrong when she had been in her online shop business for seven months.

She must pay attention to the cash flow. She had to pay her employee even if she only had one, which was Vira as a product photographer and an accountant.

Indeed, there were times when the shop suffered a loss. There were times when she gained profits. There were also times when the online shop received scathing reviews and sharp criticism from dissatisfied customers.

However, such difficulties did not discourage Lisa from running her small business. In fact, that woman was very challenged!

Her business was entering its eighth month. So far, there were still no complaints from dissatisfied customers. This made Lisa breathe easy for a moment, but that didn't mean an excuse for Lisa to be careless and lazy.

"Wow, what a struggle for both of us! Thanks to Rangga's help, our business is selling well!" said Vira cheerfully.

"Yes, but that doesn't mean you can sleep or laze around! You still have to pay attention to our social media to find out what's trending!"

When Lisa was busy in the studio preparing the latest clothes, her cell phone suddenly rang.

Lisa grabbed her cellphone and glanced at the screen. A mysterious call with an unfamiliar number. Who did she think called her?

Lisa picked up the call and said, "Hello, who is this?"

"Hello? Is this really Ms. Lisa?" asked a woman in a hoarse voice from across the line. The voice sounded like a middle aged woman. However, Lisa did not recognize who it was.

"Yes, I am Lisa. Sorry, who is this?" asked Lisa in a confused tone.

"I apologize in advance, I'm working as a nanny for Mr. Rangga's child. I tried to contact Mr. Rangga's cell phone but it was not answered. I called his office too, but they said he was not at the office. He once said that if he couldn't be contacted, I could contact Ms. Lisa," the middle-aged woman explained.

Lisa was silent for a moment, she frowned in disbelief at what she had just heard. 'Child? Rangga? Rangga has a child???'

"Can I help you, Ma'am?" asked Lisa again. This time she rubbed her chin.

"Ummm... my son in the village had an accident. I want to go home to visit my son. Now the problem is that I don't know when Mr. Rangga will come back. If I go back to my hometown now, no one will look after his son," the woman added.

"If I may know, who am I talking to?" asked Lisa again.

"Oh yeah, sorry Ma'am, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Sumiyati. Ma'am, please help me take care of his son. Would you please consider it?"

For a moment, Lisa was annoyed by the call. A woman she didn't know suddenly called her and asked to look after Rangga's child.

Even Rangga never told Lisa about his child!

'But he said he didn't have a girlfriend? How come he has a child?Ugh is it possible that Rangga…' Lisa tried to guess but then immediately brushed off the thought.

"But ma'am, I'm busy right now. I can't help you look after Rangga's child," Lisa said, getting annoyed.

"Please, Ma'am, I'm so sorry but my child in the village can't wait. So please, just for one day, can you please look after the child? If I could contact Mr. Rangga, I wouldn't bother contacting you!" The middle-aged woman insisted.

Lisa took a deep breath. This middle-aged woman was very annoying, but as Rangga's good friend, she could not refuse.

"Alright, I'll go to Rangga's house afterwards," Lisa said, a little annoyed.

"Thank God, thank you very much Ms. Lisa! So sorry that I disturb you! Thank you so much!"

Lisa returned the thanks with a heavy heart and hung up on the call immediately.

"Why Sis?" asked Vira who had just finished arranging the product to be photographed.

"There was an unexpected call. I'll have to go at noon. Sorry, Vir. This is the problem with Rangga."

"Hey, just relax Sis! This is an online shop after all."

After noon, Lisa tidied all the new clothes in the photo. She grabbed her cell phone and ordered an online taxi to visit Rangga's house.

"This is the first time I went to Rangga's house," Lisa said to herself.

Arriving at Rangga's house, Lisa was greeted by a middle-aged woman who she thought was Mrs. Sumiyati.

The middle-aged woman hurriedly opened the gate and invited Lisa to sit in the living room.

"Thank you very much for coming! Sorry it's so sudden. I'm already worried about my child back home!" said the middle aged woman hastily.

"Calm down ma'am, I'm here," Lisa answered briefly.

"Miss Lisa, I ask for help to look after Mr. Rangga's son for about a day or two. I'll call his son for a moment."

The middle-aged woman went to the living room and called a toddler. The boy was still young. Maybe 3 years old.

"This is Mr. Rangga's son. His name is Julian Blue!"

Lisa looked at the toddler with a smile and an exasperated look. She did not think that the child would look so cute.

"Geez, how cute you are! I'm Lisa!" Lisa said.

"Sis Ica," said the innocent boy. Lisa laughed at that.

"Julian is an obedient child, Miss Lisa. He has regular meals hours, and not excessive eater. I have prepared a note for you in case you don't know what to do," said Mrs. Sumiyati.

Lisa nodded, she was still focused on watching Julian's adorable face.

Lisa spent a long time watching Julian's face. The toddler didn't really look like Rangga, absolutely not. Maybe he looked like his mother, Lisa thought.

Shortly thereafter, Mrs. Sumiyati carried her suitcase and prepared to go to the station. The middle-aged woman then parted with Lisa and Julian.

Lisa went back inside and locked the front door. She returned to the living room and played with Julian.

For a moment she wondered if this child was really Rangga's biological child. Julian looked very different from the man.

The boy had straight hair with small eyes, while Rangga had curly hair and was wide-eyed!

Why did Rangga hide this from Lisa?
