Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 330 - The Time Has Come

Arriving at the finance department's room, Lisa sat back down and stared at her computer screen seriously. This month was the busiest month for all employees, especially the financial department. 

It seemed that all the financial reports in the hotel had to be immediately reviewed, examined carefully, and then recorded. Whoever made the slightest mistake would definitely get their salary cut. 

Lisa checked all the financial reports she received with great care throughout the day. Without realizing it, her head was immediately dizzy like hell. It had been a long time since she had a headache like when she was doing her accounting homework in high school. Even when it was lunchtime, she was too dizzy to go to the canteen and have her lunch, so she gave Alia her quota.

"Lis, are you really giving me your lunch?" Alia asked in amazement.

"Yes, it's just for you, I'm too lazy to eat. I'm so dizzy about all these reports," Lisa complained while massaging her forehead.

"Lisa, come on! You have to eat it so you can take the medicine to heal your dizziness. You are crazy if you're sick and don't want to eat," Alia urged, pulling Lisa's arm so that the woman got up from her desk chair.

"Just take it! I want to do my work until it's finished and eat after that!" Lisa shook off Alia's hand and then looked back at the computer screen seriously. Alia couldn't force her will on Lisa, so she left her alone in the finance department room while waving her hand.

A few minutes after Alia came out, someone came in with a brown envelope in their hand. The woman walked over to Lisa who was still busy with her computer screen.

She cleared her throat as she called Lisa's name. She didn't forget to poke Lisa's shoulder until the woman took her gaze from the computer screen.

"What?! Putri?! Have you recovered already?" Lisa asked, surprised to see the figure.

"Seriously, why didn't you eat your lunch? The boss is paying for everyone's meals this week, so why didn't you take it?" Putri asked in a small voice.

"No, I gave it to my friend. I haven't finished working," Lisa said while leaning on her chin, glancing at the computer screen again.

"Oh, right. I came here to return your money from that time. Thank you so much for lending you money for my medical expenses," Putri said, handing Lisa a brown envelope.

"Hey, no problem. By the way, how is your work? Your manager doesn't punish you for me, right?" Lisa asked, looking worried. She remembered an unpleasant incident from what Veronica and Karina had done the other day.

"No, I was reprimanded because I didn't say that I was hospitalized. I should have asked permission from my superiors so that my medical expenses could be directly borne by the company. Well, I understand that I was a little stupid when I got panicked. You know the financial condition of my family in Sukabumi," Putri explained with an embarrassed smile.

"Ah, thank goodness! I thought something happened to you after that."

"By the way I heard you were being framed by some of the guests when you acted as my replacement. Have you fixed the problem?" Putri asked sympathetically.

Hearing the question just now, Lisa immediately froze in her seat. The reason was that she didn't know which news Putri got about the incident with Veronica and Karina. Did she hear the unpleasant gossip that was circulating around or did she hear the true story from a certain source?

Lisa pursed her lips while racking her brains. She really didn't know what to answer other than being blunt. "Well, luckily, the problem was resolved. Besides, the guests who tried to frame me got what they deserved and were immediately brought to the police station. You don't have to worry about it."

For a moment, Lisa remembered that she didn't know anything about what happened to Veronica and Karina after that. She immediately planned to call Rangga after Putri finished talking with her.

"Well then, once again I want to thank you very much for helping me a lot. Sorry that I bothered you at that time. I'll buy you something to eat later, okay?"

"Hey, don't bother! I didn't ask for anything in return," said Lisa reluctantly.

"Well, it's just a token of gratitude and the beginning of our friendship," Putri said seriously as she patted Lisa's shoulder.

"Okay, I'll wait in front of the lobby later," Lisa answered, agreeing to Putri's invitation.

Shortly after Putri left the finance department's room, Lisa grabbed her cell phone and called Rangga. 

This was quite unexpected for Lisa to contact Rangga first.

In the office, Rangga was seen staring at his ringing cellphone. He read the name of the caller with a beaming face. Without much thought he picked up the call and said, "Hey, it's rare for you to call me first. What's up?"

"Nothing, don't think of anything weird. Anyway I want to ask something and it's important!" Lisa replied firmly from across.

"What is that?"

"Veronica and her daughter. How are they now? Have they been imprisoned yet?"

Hearing that sharp question, Rangga immediately focused his attention on the call from across. He cleared his throat and answered, "Lisa, don't worry. They won't be bothering you again anytime soon. My friend David is handling their case. But from what I heard, they both broke the law and got six months in prison."

Lisa was stunned by Rangga's explanation just now. She initially thought the two demons would be jailed for a year or more for slander and defamation.

"Seriously?! Why is it that short? Why don't they go to jail for at least a year!?!?" Lisa replied furiously.

"Lis, I don't have much power in this matter and we can't determine the length for their imprisonment either. You can't go around asking those two to be jailed as long as you want just because they've hurt you. Just accept the truth, at least they will get the punishment that I think they deserve," Rangga explained, trying to think with a cool head.

"But don't you understand how mean they both were to me and my family!? Can't they get a harsher punishment?" Lisa insisted. Her tone sounded much more annoyed than usual.

"Lisa, come to your senses. Just be realistic, they've got a fair punishment," Rangga said, trying to calm his friend.

Lisa was silent for a moment. Her mind was getting foggy so she could hardly think with a cool head. She gripped her cell phone tightly, trying not to explode. "Okay, sorry for being too emotional. By the way, thanks for helping a lot."

"Isn't this what a friend is supposed to do? You don't need to worry. If you need more help later, don't hesitate to call me, okay? I will help as much as I can," Ranga said.

"Okay, I'll go back to work again, okay? Thanks for everything."

Right after Lisa put down her cellphone, Alia came over to her desk. She put down a box of rice and said, "That's it. I can't let you skip lunch just because your job isn't finished yet!"

Lisa looked up at Alia's face, which looked stern and determined. She giggled seeing that her new friend cared about her.

"Thanks Al, I appreciate your efforts!"
