Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 475 - Explanation

After chatting with Cicilia for long enough, Lisa came to know many things. Starting from the first case where Surya sexually harassed a beautiful woman who used to be his assistant for personal pleasure. Fortunately, the man was finally expelled from the company. 

The head of personnel, Aaron, was immediately ordered to remove him and, unfortunately, removed the man's personal belongings from his room. Surya's dismissal process went so fast, it probably didn't take more than 2 hours. 

Then Cicilia had time to tell Lisa that this morning, a foreign man came and seemed close to the CEO of the Better Life company.

"Oh, I swear, it's a shame you weren't in the office. Around that time, a guy came to the office. His body was like an athlete's, I don't really like muscular guys but he made me wet! If there were no people in the office, well, I'd just approach him!"

The atmosphere in the Padang restaurant was getting quieter and quieter. Lunch time passed quickly, before Lisa could finish the orange juice she ordered. But even so, the two beautiful women did not stop gossiping happily. 

Lisa chuckled, "So what's the point?"

"Wait, wait, I haven't finished the story yet!" Cicilia said. "The point is, I don't understand why that guy told us. I mean, told us that all this time, you have no intention of disturbing Mr. Surya or wanting his wealth. I swear I don't know what that means, but I finally found out that you're not the person I thought you were."

Hearing that suddenly made Lisa raise her eyebrows. "What are you saying? A guy came over to tell you all that I wasn't wrong?"

At that time, Lisa had no idea who the man was. It was certain that he wasn't Oscar because he had been lying on the patient's bed, next to her. Dani? Not possible either. The man went only to get clean clothes and buy breakfast.

Who was it then? Who said it to them?

Cicilia cleared her throat and put down the cutlery she was using earlier. "It's not important anymore. What's important now is that all your office mates know that you're not wrong and you're not a shameless girl!"

"Yes, I'm just wondering who was kind enough to defend me in my office."

"Ugh, it's not important anymore," Cicilia tossed her hair again. The beautiful woman played with the ends of her wavy curl. "Hey, let's go back to the office now. Lunchtime is already over!"

"Are you serious!? Oh my, my work isn't done yet!"

After paying for their lunch— to be more precise, Cicilia paid for their meal— the two beautiful women walked out of the Padang restaurant. At first, it was Lisa who insisted on paying for their lunch, but as it turned out, the woman with long wavy hair was more stubborn than her!

"If you don't let me pay for your lunch, I won't talk to you anymore!" Cicilia threatened at that time.

Actually, Lisa didn't feel any drastic changes if Cicilia stopped talking to her. The woman was used to being alone for 2 months. But she was so happy that she had finally found someone to talk to. Lisa then said she'd pay for their next lunch.

"See, you definitely want to talk to me forever!" Cicilia teased while keeping a few small bills behind her cell phone's case. "Later, if I'm cranky and don't want to talk to you, you'll definitely cry and cry so much that you miss me!"

"Well, if I knew you were the person here, I would have turned down your invitation to eat lunch!" Lisa retorted.

That afternoon, the sidewalk around the office building didn't look so crowded. There were only a few employees wearing formal attire walking in a hurry while looking at their watches. Unlike Lisa and Cicilia, they looked way more relaxed. 

Along the way, the two women always have new topics of conversation. From a distance, they looked like close friends. But in reality, they just met today and had lunch together. Somehow, they immediately felt comfortable with each other in a matter of hours!

"Anyway, I want to apologize to you." Cicilia suddenly exclaimed when they were already inside the office building. The cold air from the air conditioner made the sweat that covered their backs and temples just disappear.

"What? I am sorry? Sorry, what do you mean?" Lisa asked not understanding.

"Well what else, duh, you're stupid huh!" 

One thing that Lisa noticed since she and Cicilia had lunch together was that she couldn't stop playing with the ends of her hair. Just like now, her fingers fiddled with the ends of her hair non-stop. 

"Ugh, just relax, I'm just asking!" Lisa replied while letting out a laugh that sounded warm.

"Okay, so I'm sorry because for the past 2 months, I've seen you as a beautiful and sexy girl who liked to be close to Mr. Surya only for money. The thing is, when you entered this company, there was a reason why he always called you to his room! It's not that I'm defending myself, it's just that in my eyes, what kind of a woman would respond to him and follow where he waved his money at…"

A few seconds later, when Cicilia still couldn't find the right words, Lisa opened her mouth.

"You think I was a bitch?"

Cicilia cleared her throat and pressed the elevator button, "Yes! Sorry to be rude, it's just that, in my eyes, you used to look cheap. Besides, I've also thought that you and Mr. Surya had an affair..."

"It's okay, just relax. I didn't do anything with him. Besides, if I were in your position, I would definitely think that the new girl who was said to have entered because someone from inside the company helped her had an affair with the boss!"

Cicila chuckled. "That means our problem is over, right? Are we cool now?"

Lisa nodded her head. "Yeah, we're cool. You're the one who didn't want to talk to me a few weeks ago! I've always been with you and my other friends, I'm just normal, I don't hold grudges."

At first, Lisa thought that Cicilia was pretending to be nice to her so she could embarrass her behind her back. However, when she heard Cicilia's words that sounded sincere and not to mention the woman's warm gaze, Lisa became convinced that her actions were sincere.

"Come on, go back to your desk. My work is still piling up!"
