Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 474 - Getting New Friends

Even now, she does not know the outcome of the trial. But what she does know is, the man is going to be locked up in a prison for 10 years. Honestly, she felt that Surya's punishment was unfair. After kidnapping her son and nearly raping her, the man only got 10 years? 

Indeed, sometimes the law is unfair, but what can she do? The important thing is that the man gets punished and she will not see him for the next 10 years.

And again, if any of her colleagues talk behind her back, that's fine. She can't do anything about it either. If they were in her position and had to go through yesterday's horrific incident, Lisa knows they would want the man to be punished with the utmost severity!

Lisa took another deep breath before she opened the door. Right, why does she feel guilty because Surya is in prison? This man deserves to be punished. Why should she be afraid if someone mocks her for that?

Luckily, when Lisa walked down the hall or went into the elevator, she didn't run into anyone. Surprisingly, the office that morning was so quiet. Usually, at 7 or 8 in the morning, there is already a sea of ??people trying to use the elevator. Laughter is also usually heard. Not like now.

"Good morning, Lisa!"

When the elevator's door opened, Lisa was immediately greeted by Aaron's warm smile. This is so strange. Why is this man suddenly being nice to her?

"Morning." The woman smiled awkwardly and quickly got out of the elevator.

Of course she was taken aback when the man greeted her first. From the beginning she worked at Better Life until now, none of her colleagues have taken the initiative to greet her first. So now, when someone greets her first, Lisa feels something strange.

'Did the man take the wrong medicine this morning?' Lisa asked herself.

But even though she felt something was off, half of her was happy! Finally, after 2 months of enduring everyone's silent treatment in the company, she was greeted by her colleague!

And while Lisa's brain was working hard, trying to understand why Aaron's attitude had changed so drastically towards her, she accidentally bumped into a woman who walked past her.

"Ouch, sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to!" Lisa said quickly.

The woman, Cicilia Jennifer, was one of the colleagues she shared the workspace with. She is known to be cold and only wants to talk to people she considers to be on the same circle with her. Not to mention that the woman is famous for her spicy mouth. Any drama or other gossip would surely spread quickly thanks to her.

So now, when Lisa accidentally bumps into Cicilia, she can only hope she doesn't spread some weird gossip about her.

"Lisa! Good morning!" Cicilia actually smiled broadly and hugged her warmly for a while. This is also strange. "Well, there's no need to clean it up. Just let me do it, you can log in to mark today's presence first."

Lisa blinked a few times, "Oh, okay? I'm sorry I accidentally bumped into you earlier."

"Just relax! It's fine!"

After saying that, Cicilia lowered her head and started to tidy up the documents that were scattered on the floor. Not forgetting to give her a big smile. At that moment, Lisa hoped that she would not spread rumors about her.

"Good morning, Lisa!! Have you had breakfast this morning?"

"Lisa, let's have lunch together at the restaurant next door later!"

"Wow, Lisa, how come you look so bright this morning!"

"Lisa, good morning!"

And so on.

Whenever Lisa passed her colleagues, she kept hearing greetings. Strange, very strange. It was unusual for her to be treated so warmly in this company. 

As long as she works at the Better Life company, no one notices her presence. Even Lisa had thought that none of them had seen her. There was never a greeting, an invitation to have lunch together, or even just to make small talk. 

But what is happening now? Did she enter a different dimension today and live her life at a different time? In the past, when Surya was still working here, no one spoke to her. Now they all changed and even look excited to meet her!

What really happened?

When lunch time arrived, Lisa was immediately pulled away with Cicilia. This was the first time the woman was invited to have lunch together and even more so she was treated to a meal at a Padang restaurant next to the office building. At first, Lisa thought that things would get awkward and Cicilia was just being nice to her to get the latest gossip.

But it turned out to be all wrong. The woman was warm to her, hooked her arm with Lisa's, joked along the way, and so on. Her attitude almost looked like she had been friends with Lisa for a long time.

"Hey, Lis, do you know the latest news? About Mr. Surya?" Cicilia suddenly asked.

The Padang restaurant looks ordinary, just like any other restaurant in general. But perhaps since it's lunch time, the place feels packed. All the seats were already occupied and noises could be heard from all directions.

"Mr. Surya? I don't know..." Lisa stirred the warm tea she ordered, "So what's wrong with him?"

"Oh, you don't know?" Cicilia grumbled while pursing her lips. The woman then continued, "From what I heard, Mr. Surya was fired from the company!"

"Huh? Really? How do you know that?"

Cicilia rolled her eyes and tossed her wavy hair. The woman is beautiful, even Lisa thinks she is the most beautiful woman in the company. Many men have had their hearts broken by this woman. Her body is shaped like a top model, along with her small and beautiful face, are able to make all the men in the office fall in love with her.

"You're late this morning. I and the others already know that Mr. Surya has been expelled since last night. Well, I'm glad that the masher was finally fired. Do you know that he likes to seduce girls in the office? Every day, he'd always call a girl to his office."

"I don't know why I suddenly got the news that he was fired. Yes, let's just say that God finally opened Mr. Randy's inner eyes and finally brought him out! I feel uncomfortable every day working with Mr.. Surya. All he could do was stare at my body from head to toes!"
