Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 349 - Bad Deeds Will Be Surely Paid Off

Lisa's thoughts were still raging about Johan's accusation against her. She woke up early with a pounding heart and unstable breathing. Her mind was so chaotic that it was foggy. She couldn't use her common sense this morning, contemplating whether she should resign from the Cendana Hotel. She hoped it didn't happen as she thought of ways to gather the evidence while smoothing her messy hair.

This morning at the office, Lisa looked sluggish working on a draft budget. She only had one day to find evidence that would prove that Johan's accusation against her was false. All day she had been unable to think clearly and calmly. Alia, who sat in front of her, felt a strange air emitted from Lisa's eyes.

"Lis, what's wrong with you? Still bothered by yesterday?"

Lisa nodded slowly. She was too tired and upset to discuss Johan's accusations.

"Lis, sorry, I don't intend to interfere, but as your friend in this office, what if you just go straight to the manager if Johan is deliberately sabotaging you because  you rejected his love? I'm sure the manager can understand," Alia said quietly.

"Al, I had a nervous breakdown yesterday with the manager but he didn't want to listen to me! I am pessimistic that he will believe my explanation. Besides, Johan has a very good image in the eyes of the officials. Tch, annoying!" Lisa scoffed with a snort, annoyed.

"Hey, don't worry, I really trust you. There's no way people like you deliberately made a mistake just to get scolded by the manager," Alia said, trying to cheer up Lisa who looked very bored.

"Thanks Al, but I don't need sweet words. I need a solution now! How do I look for proof that Johan really did mean to me!"

"There must be a way. Why don't you show the original file that you made to the manager?"  Alia suggested. She rested her chin while looking at Lisa with a face full of confidence.

"That's not enough Al! The manager seems to love Johan. I don't know, but the way he treats Johan like a golden boy is just so… Ah, how annoying!" 

"Lisa, listen to me. One day, bad people will definitely be rewarded for their actions. I'm sure, Johan's rotten side will be revealed in front of the manager someday!" Alia exclaimed firmly without hesitation.

After office hours, Lisa and Alia parted ways in the hotel lobby. As she stepped out of the Cendana Hotel building, the words that Alia had spoken this morning rang clearly in her ears this afternoon.

"Bad people will definitely be rewarded one day, just calm down."

Her misty thoughts suddenly flashed a memory of Oscar. The image of the handsome white man  appeared in her mind. His golden curls glowed in the sun... A pair of clear blue eyes as clear as lake water. His tall and athletic build, like a model for a men's fashion magazine… Everything about him seemed so perfect.

Remembering this figure, Lisa tugged at her hair, trying to get rid of him from her overly chaotic mind.

'Lis please! Why do you still think about that bastard?!? What can he do for you? He can only force you with money! He can only give you endless suffering and torture!' Lisa complained while cursing in her mind.

In fact, she felt her current position was very helpless. In her deepest mind, she desperately needed Oscar's help to reveal Johan's dark side. But on second thought, Lisa couldn't possibly ask that man for help. She didn't want to share her personal problems with a man who was no longer her husband.

Lisa had lost her option to ask for help. It was impossible for her to ask Andien for help, her friend had nothing to do with Johan's case, as did Dimas— this man had nothing to do with her current personal life.

Lisa was still sitting in the lobby chair while straightening her twisted thoughts like a bundle of thread. She rested on her chin, stared straight at the exit while thinking of a solution. 

Who should she ask for help?

Lisa grabbed her cell phone from her carrying case. She stared at the screen for a long time until finally she pressed one of the many contact names she had stored.

"What's up, Lisa? Why do you call?" The man asked from across.

"Where are you?" Lisa asked, not having had time to answer Rangga's question.

"I'm at the office, why?"

"It's okay, I just...." Suddenly, her tongue felt choked. To be honest, Lisa didn't want to ask Rangga for help anymore. 

Asking him for help would make her seem as if she was trying to keep the man and use his feelings for her own gain. However, Lisa had already made a call, and she didn't have anyone else she could ask to help resolve this accusation.

"Ugh, how do I explain it .. So it's like this..."

"I swear, every time you contact me first, you must have a problem, right? What's wrong? Tell me," Rangga asked in a worried voice.

Lisa pursed her lips as she didn't dare to tell the truth. There was a pause between the two for a few minutes beforeRangga broke the silence by saying, "Did Johan dare to disturb you again?" 

Lisa was surprised to hear the sentence just now. "How do you know!?"

"Alright, I'm going to Bekasi now," Rangga said briefly and clearly, without the slightest doubt.

"Well, are you not at the office now? Don't mess with me, why do you want to go to Bekasi!" Lisa exclaimed reluctantly.

"Relax, my work is over. Besides, I also need to meet a client in Bekasi. Later, when I finish with my client, I'll come to you," Rangga replied.

"No, you better don't. It doesn't really matter," Lisa said reluctantly.

"Eh, don't hesitate! Especially when it comes to Johan. I have to meet you. Alright then, when I finish my meeting with my client I'll call you again, okay?"

"Okay, thanks..."

Lisa closed the call while sighing deeply. She didn't want to trouble Rangga but she felt she  really needed help right now. 

"You damn bastard! Johan! If it's not for you, I wouldn't have asked Rangga for help like this!" Lisa cursed, looking very annoyed.

Arriving at the boarding house, Lisa hurriedly cooked food for herself. She had no appetite but for the sake of the baby she was carrying right now, she had to force herself to eat. Otherwise, how could the baby grow healthy?

Lisa was seen waiting for a call from Rangga for two hours, but her cell phone had not rang until now. She suspected that Rangga must still have a meeting with a client. She had to be patient, but her anxiety was far greater than her confidence.

Lisa really wanted to contact the man, but she stopped her mind when she picked up her cellphone.

'Lis, remember... Don't rely too much on Rangga. You don't want that guy to have a crush on you anymore, right?' Lisa thought to herself.

Shortly after she was relaxing on her bed, a thought came to her mind. She took the initiative to resign tomorrow morning if Rangga didn't come to help her. Rather than being fired, she better resign herself, she thought.

The sound of her cell phone woke her up from her reverie, so she picked up the call with a flowery heart.

"Hey, where are you?"

"I'm in front of the gate of your boarding house.. Hurry down!" Rangga answered from across.
