Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 21 - Marry Me

The morning came, Lisa and Andien were back to work as usual. The road was pretty smooth that day, so the two of them still had time to stop by the drive thru at the express coffee shop. Arriving at the office, the two women strolled into their respective rooms.

This time Lisa wasn't wearing the sexy office outfit she usually did. She only wore Andien's oversized pink blazer and gray trousers. Instantly ,all office employees who used to see Lisa wearing tight and mini office clothes were amazed.

"Lisa, what spirit possessed you today? You're wearing a mini skirt anymore!" One of the employees sneered at her.

"Nyi Roro Kidul! Uh, but the blazer is pink, shouldn't it be green? Ha ha ha ha!" Said one of them.

Lisa did not pay attention to the sneers of the two colleagues. What occurred to her today was the work she had not finished yesterday and how she should deal with Oscar. It could hurt if Oscar's daily schedule fell apart because of yesterday's illness!

Lisa did not climb stairs as usual, her physical condition had begun to weaken since she was pregnant, the doctor also advised her not to exert too much energy to keep herself physically healthy.

Arriving in the elevator, she casually pressed the up button. Inside, an employee from the design department and two employees from personnel greeted her this morning.

"Lisa, what were you sick of yesterday?" The employee from the personnel department asked.

"Lis, you're okay, right?" The employee from the design department joined in.

Another employee also asked her, "The President Director didn't bother you, right?"

The woman took a deep breath. Since the incident yesterday, the entire office seemed to suddenly care for her. Since she became Oscar's private secretary, Lisa's name had echoed from the top floor to the parking lot!

Lisa just nodded and smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I'm fine!"

When the elevator doors opened, Lisa was treated to an unpleasant sight.

"Hey bitch! Why don't you stay in the hospital for so long!?" Karina sneered at her from the elevator's door. Seeing her tacky make-up made Lisa even more annoyed that she wanted to beat the evil woman's face.

"Get back in there, son of a bitch!" Shouted Lisa loudly.

A few moments later, Lisa arrived in front of the president's room. She knocked firmly on the door. Oscar was inside already, struggling with the pile of papers and folders he was supposed to finish yesterday. Lisa's heart was beating so fast it felt like it was going to fall out of her body. Would Oscar punish her?

Sneaking up, Lisa put down her tote bag and pulled up her desk chair. Oscar heard the clatter of her high heels.

"Good morning Lisa, are you healthy?" Asked the man straightforwardly, his head still down reading the sheets of paper, his hand holding an expensive gold-plated pen.

Lisa answered in a low voice, a little scared, "Yes sir, sorry yesterday I fell ill ..."

"Without you yesterday my schedule was quite messy. Karina forced me to temporarily replace you. " Said the man coldly.

"You are kidding sir!"

The man then chuckled, glancing at Lisa's astonished face, "Of course I'm kidding. I don't like odd women like her. She'll just mess my work."

"About yesterday, sorry, I could not visit. There was a meeting to be held. Your temporary substitute in yesterday's work was not as efficient as you." He added.

"Thank you sir."

"Why thank you? I feel like I didn't do anything for you yesterday." The man's voice suddenly rose a little.

"Yes, but you paid the medical expenses yesterday, right?"

"There is no need to question that, dear, after all, you are my future wife."

"Eh, you don't expect me to still marry you, okay?" Lisa argued, turning on the computer.

"You are good at working Lisa, but the only thing you are not good at is lying." The man gave a grin. His eyes exchanged glances with Lisa's, "So stop hiding secrets from me."

"What do you mean?" Lisa's heart skipped a beat at the golden haired man's statement.

In her heart, Lisa was suspicious of how this man knew that she was pregnant. As far as she could remember, Oscar didn't visit her at all yesterday. Lisa instantly remembered her conversation with Oscar's personal assistant. This must be Dani Sihotang's doing! The stout giant must have told Oscar!

Since becoming the president's personal secretary, Lisa hardly had the slightest spare time. She hadn't even been hanging out with Andien for a long time and confided in Dimas about the twists and turns of her life at the Sky Lounge. Let alone looking for another man to be her lover. The only man who was close to Lisa at this time was Oscar. And only with him Lisa made love at the office.

Oscar got up from his chair and sat at the end of Lisa's desk, his legs crossed, his head lowered to observe Lisa, "If I were you, I would immediately accept this marriage request. If in the country I come from, it is not a problem not to marry, the future of the child is still guaranteed. But you understand very well, in your country, children outside of marriage are not formally recognized, don't you? You want that child to have a bleak future?"

Lisa lowered her head, answered him in a low, shaking voice, "Of course not, sir."

"That means the answer is clear, right? This offer of mine will not be possible for you to refuse!" Oscar said confidently. He then smiled triumphantly.

"But sir, please allow me to think a little longer. I can't make a decision today. What's more, I'm still working here."

"Ha ha! Why do you work if you already have a husband like me? Your financial problems are guaranteed to be safe until old age! No need to worry about work!" He explained in an arrogant tone.

"But sir, I still want to work!"

"Well if so, I give you two options. You marry me or," The man opened his desk drawer and took out a stack of money and placed it on the table right in front of Lisa, "You make sure that the child you are carrying tomorrow has disappeared from your stomach!"

Lisa just didn't flinch, stunned at the pile of money and heard Oscar's last sentence. For a moment she felt very foolish about being tricked by a foreign man with money for the sake of her mother and sister. Either killing the fetus in her womb or marrying Oscar. What a hard choice!

"Never mind, don't be pretentious about everything you can! Even your monthly salary cannot afford to pay for your living needs. Especially your mother's medical expenses and your sister's tuition fees!"

How did this man know about the cost of medical treatment for her mother and sister who was still in college? Lisa never told Oscar about her family. Not one bit!

'This must be Karina… That bastard!' She muttered to herself.

"Don't be surprised, I know all your track records. No need for you to know how I found out. I'll give you a week to decide whether you are willing to marry me or abort the fetus that you are currently carrying!"

Oscar continued in an intimidating tone, "Otherwise, pay yourself the price. Your name must be tainted in this office, maybe all over the capital if you know what I mean."

"Fine sir, I will consider your offer..." Said Lisa languidly.

"Ah, one more thing Lisa." The man pulled Andien's pink blazer Lisa was wearing, "You are not suitable for using pink!"

"Sorry sir, all my clothes are dirty. I borrowed this from my friend."

The night before, Lisa had finished with her work. It's time to go home. A very long day she thought. It turned out that being pregnant makes the work she normally did lightly and smoothly became even more heavy and tiring. Lisa massaged her temples which were getting dizzy.

Suddenly, Lisa's cell phone rang. She took it and picked up the phone from her mother.

"Lisa, are you okay? How come you didn't come home yesterday?" Asked a middle-aged woman on the other side.

"Forgive me, mom. I stayed at Andien's apartment yesterday. I was working late yesterday so she didn't have time to go home."

"You usually go home after working overtime too. You don't always stay at Andien's place?"

"Yes, I can do it once in a while, I'm also bored at home..."

"Actually, I want to tell you something, Lisa. It's about our house... So could you come home today,please?"

"Okay, mom, I will come home later."
