Chapter 233 - When Do You Resign?
Chapter 233 - When Do You Resign?
Ignoring Lisa's words, Oscar immediately got out of his car and tapped her on the shoulder slowly. The man looked down to level with her and said, "What if I don't want to do that?" He asked in a playful tone as he wrapped his arm around Lisa's slim waist.
Feeling the long arms around her waist, Lisa immediately flinched and brushed Oscar away. "Oscar! Don't hug carelessly, this is Rangga's office. It's dangerous if my colleagues see us here together!"
Even though Lisa knew that the two of them would reconcile soon, their status was still not officially married. She didn't want to get the attention of her colleagues at Colors Advertising, especially Sarah. She couldn't risk getting accidentally caught together with Oscar by that woman. Sarah's gossiping ability was unquestionable, so to avoid unpleasant rumors, Lisa immediately pushed Oscar behind a tree outside the office gate while sweeping around him. Good, no one saw them both!
"Oscar, please. I love you and I understand very well that you are doing whatever it takes to fix our long broken relationship, but please don't get too close like this before we officially become husband and wife!" Lisa explained softly. Her eyes met Oscar's blue eyes with an earnest gaze.
In return, Oscar only smiled faintly while shrugging his shoulders. The man turned his attention to Rangga's office building. He stared intently at the entrance. He saw the figure of a tall, thin man, clad in a black long-sleeved shirt and white pants, stepping out.
Oscar turned around, planning to approach Rangga. "Wait here, I want to say hello to Mr. Rangga."
From a distance, Lisa could only look at the two men, praying that nothing unwanted like a scuffle would happen between them. She gripped her tote bag tightly, her heart was getting anxious until her body trembled slightly. Lisa froze in her place where she was hiding, while still watching the two men who seemed to be talking from a distance.
"Mr. Oscar! It's been a long time since we met," Rangga said with a slightly cynical tone. His eyes were fixed on Oscar's face. There was a jealous glint from Rangga's dark eyes. The man shook Oscar's hand firmly and then felt his foe's grip much tighter than his. It seemed that this man of European blood was not happy.
"Mr. Rangga, don't you want to say something to me?" Oscar asked sharply. His eyes were fixed on Rangga's face, which looked displeased.
"Oh, you're right I've just remembered that I have a question for you. Do you really want to go back with Lisa? Do you really love her?" Rangga tilted his head. His sentence just now sounded more like a mockery than a simple question of small talk.
Hearing that question, Oscar immediately changed his face. The man looked even colder and cynical.
"Lisa is my lover, of course I love her until the end of my life. I want to spend the rest of my life with her. Besides, even if I don't love her, what does this have to do with you, Mr. Rangga?" Oscar replied in a condescending voice. His sensual lips were grinning faintly.
Rangga was silent. He did not expect that his question would be turned back. The man blinked.
"I suggest you to stay away from Lisa, Mr. Rangga," Oscar added before Rangga could begin his sentence.
"Fine, but you need to know one thing. I like Lisa. I even love her as much as you love her. I will not prevent you from getting Lisa back because she chose you. But remember, if you dare to hurt Lisa again… I swear I will take Lisa from your side without a doubt!"Rangga explained confidently. The man raised his face, stared at Oscar's two blue eyes with a fiery gaze.
Oscar snorted in annoyance at Rangga's words just now. He blinked and then said, "You dare to do that?"
"If you don't believe it, just try and see for yourself!" Rangga replied confidently. His voice sounded steady without the slightest hesitation.
Oscar only smiled faintly, the man didn't want to lose to Rangga. "I'm not going to give you a chance to snatch Lisa from me so it's best to forget your bullshit just now,"
Rangga didn't answer Oscar's last words. The golden haired man immediately turned around and stepped away from him who was standing in front of the building's entrance.
Oscar led Lisa to get into his car and then stepped on the gas pedal, driving away from the Colors Advertising building. When Oscar was driving, the atmosphere in the car suddenly felt very cold and tense. Lisa, who was sitting next to him, felt a lot of inner pressure from the man behind the wheel.
To break the awkwardness, Lisa cleared her throat and opened the conversation by saying, "Where are we going Oscar?"
"We're going to have dinner at a fancy restaurant," Oscar replied dryly. His gaze was straight ahead.
"Um, how about we just cook today? I don't feel like eating out," Lisa said softly. She stood idly by, rolling her eyes. She thought that the atmosphere in the car became even more awkward.
"Okay, I can't force you either," Oscar replied flatly again.
The man seemed not feeling well after talking with Rangga a while ago. Lisa could feel how cold and fiery Oscar felt right now. It can be seen from the look on his face as the man was trying to calm down with a sharp glint in his eyes. Oscar's head must feel like an erupting volcano inside!
Feeling his aura changing drastically made her worried. The woman patted Oscar gently on the shoulder and said, "Oscar, are you okay?" Her voice sounded soft and sympathetic, but it seemed that her ex-husband was reluctant to answer.
"When will you resign from the office?" Oscar suddenly asked. His tone was sharp and cynical.
Lisa was surprised at the question. "Eh? I haven't thought about it so… maybe later? I don't know if I'll be able to in the near future because the finance department still needs employees," Lisa answered plainly.
"You think your position as a financial manager is very important there? Even if the sun rises from the West or the earth is split in half, Rangga's company will still run without you!" Oscar's reply sounded very sharp, urging her. The aura around them grew colder and more awkward.
Lisa took a deep breath. She really didn't know what else to answer because she understood Oscar's character when he was not in a happy mood. It could be that the man was explosive and impulsive. Lisa didn't want to make that man even more overwhelming, so she chose to pause and rack her brain to respond to Oscar.
"Oscar, I didn't intend to offend you but, I've just worked there. Rangga is my superior, we have no special relationship other than the relationship between superiors and subordinates! Please, don't be jealous of Rangga just because I work for his company," Lisa replied bluntly. She hoped Oscar wouldn't get angry with her honest statement just now.
Oscar slammed on the car brakes, sending Lisa tumbling out of her seat. Luckily, Lisa was saved by the seat belt she was wearing, otherwise her head could have hit the windshield of the car.
Lisa's heart immediately started beating very fast. Oscar's impulsive response just now was completely unexpected. She took a long breath then exhaled hurriedly. The woman then turned to Oscar and said, "Oscar! What are you doing!? It's dangerous!"
The man looked at Lisa with an angry face and then grabbed her by the collar, leaning her body closer to him. "You'd better resign from Colors Advertising immediately!"
Lisa was silent, the man's face was very scary when he was provoked like this. She didn't want to take any further risks. She gave up and chose to back down. " ... I will try for it, Oscar... So please, let go..."
The man let go of his grip then quickly kissed Lisa's lips. The woman was not evasive at all. Instead, she enjoyed the surprise kiss.
"Lisa, I love you...." Oscar said softly.
