Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 241 - I Asked For Help

The next day at the office, Lisa's body felt sore and her legs felt like giving up. Last night, the man really had no mercy on her. But, oddly enough, Lisa didn't refuse either, she was even satisfied. It's just that, she didn't want to have to feel excruciatingly sore after sex. 

'Shit...' she thought. 'Don't let the man ask for more tonight or your limbs would no longer be intact!'

"Mrs. Lisa, Mr. Rangga called you to his office now," the voice sounded very familiar to Lisa's ears. She then turned her face towards the source of the sound and was surprised to find a familiar figure who once helped with her hustle.

"Vira! Are you here?" Lisa asked curiously. "Weren't you an intern here?"

"Initially yes, but then I was recruited to fill a vacant position in the finance department, so now I'm with you, Sis!" Vira explained cheerfully as usual.

"Wow, what a coincidence! We can work together again like we used to! Welcome to the finance department, I hope you feel at home here!" Lisa said, shaking Vira's hand. She smiled happily. Finally, Lisa was not alone in the finance department. At least, she had a friend she could count on besides Sarah.

Vira then took an empty seat next to Riani's desk. Actually, she didn't want to sit next to that gloomy-faced woman, but she had no other choice. All tables were occupied except the one beside Riani's table.

Vira put all her belongings on her new table. After turning on the computer, she dropped into the chair and took a deep breath.

Beside her, Riani seemed unhappy with her presence. Some time ago, the two of them had argued over an unimportant issue that almost made them clash with each other. Vira looked at Riani's face, which looked grim and unsightly.

"What are you looking at? Have you never seen a beautiful person before?" Riani snapped when Vira looked at her with an unpleasant eye.

Vira responded casually, she moved out of her chair while putting her hands behind her head. "Haha, you're really confident! Even though I just want to see that granny face of yours!" She teased, sticking her tongue out at Riani.

"Hey! Don't be careless when you talk to your seniors!" Riani felt threatened by Vira's meaningless words. As if the words were really aimed at her to make her lose her self-confidence. Vira was just talking though, because she didn't care much about how Riani felt towards her.

When Lisa arrived on the second floor, she knocked on the door to the president's room. 

"Come in!" Rangga exclaimed from behind the door, which was slightly open. 

It started some time ago, when Lisa talked with Rangga in the office, she rarely stayed  alone with him in order to avoid her coworkers' suspicion.

"Sorry, Mr. Rangga are you looking for me? May I know what I can help you with?" Lisa asked politely. She sat and stood idle while staring at Rangga's face, which looked relaxed compared to the last time the man spoke to her.

Rangga then smiled sweetly. Lisa was surprised to see his face glow as usual. Last time she saw him, the man's face was very serious and grim. "Hello Lis, I want to ask you for help again. That's if you want and you can," Rangga said in his usual informal tone.

"Okay, if I can do it then I will definitely help. Is this matter urgent?" Lisa asked back. She rested her chin in front of Rangga as if the room was a cafe where the two of them used to talk.

Hearing Lisa's sentence just now made Rangga's heart relieved. The man took a deep breath while stroking his chest. "Thank goodness I have someone to help me!" He spontaneously.

"So what do you want me to help you with? Don't tell me you asked to accompany you to an important birthday party like last time! Oscar will slaughter me later," Lisa added, emphasizing the word 'slaughter'.

Rangga laughed at the sentence just now. He shuffled from his chair, his legs climbed on the table as if the room was a coffee shop. "So, I just want to ask you to take care of Julian. He hasn't seen you for a long time, and he really misses you," he explained then lowered his feet from the table.

"What…? It's not that I can't, but why me?" Lisa asked doubtfully. She was afraid that Oscar would find out that she was going to Rangga's house to accompany Julian. Lisa didn't want to make her boyfriend jealous that might end up in a fight that led to bloodshed.

"Lis, I can only trust you. Besides, Julian is very familiar with you. I have a business trip outside the city for the next few days. Please take care of Julian while I'm away on duty, will you?" Rangga asked, his voice was mellow.

Lisa was silent, she was confused about what to answer. To be honest, she had no problem helping Rangga to look after Julian last night, but the one she was worried about was Oscar. Lisa didn't want the two men to fight again just because of a misunderstanding that stemmed from jealousy.

The woman then looked down for a moment, thinking of the right words to reply to her childhood friend so that he wouldn't be disappointed. However, before Lisa spoke up, the man said, "Never mind, if you can't then I'll just hire a babysitter. It's not that I'm stingy when I don't want to hire a babysitter, but the problem is that… You know yourself that Julian doesn't easily trust new people!" Rangga looked at Lisa with a sad look. His voice sounded languid and desperate. He deliberately seduced Lisa so that she would help him.

Lisa couldn't bear to see Rangga's face, which looked very disappointed. Two men she knew were already disappointed by her. Lisa took a deep breath. Her eyes blinked and then said, "Okay, I'll help you. I'll take care of Julian. But I have conditions!"

The last sentence just made Rangga wake up from his disappointed feeling. His eyes sparkled again. "Just tell me, Lis, I'll fulfill whatever it is!"

"I want you to let me know immediately once you come back from work. I don't want you to be there as long as I take care of Julian. Do you understand why I ask you that?" Lisa explained firmly.

Rangga nodded. "Yes, so that your ex-husband won't be jealous of me, right?"

"So don't you think you're smart!" Lisa exclaimed casually, her tone sounding ignorant. "Okay, is there anything else?" She continued.

"That's all. Thanks, Lis. You're the best!" Rangga lowered his head.

After leaving the room, Lisa's heart was pounding again. She was afraid that Oscar would catch her with Rangga again. Even though Lisa and Rangga never did anything indecent, Oscar still didn't like seeing her alone with the tall, thin man.

Not long after, Lisa's cell phone rang. A message came in and she read it. The message was from Oscar, he told Lisa that he was going to be out on the outside for a few days. He told Lisa to take care of herself while the man was away.

Reading Oscar's message made Lisa's heart relieved. Her heart was beating normally again. It was a coincidence that both Oscar and Rangga went out of the town.

'Cool, I can play with Julian tomorrow!'
