Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 535 - Solving Problems (1)

It's impossible to count how long Lisa spent looking at the underwear in the closet. And maybe, the morning sun couldn't match the heat on her cheeks.

It was only when the clock ticked that it was half past eight did the woman pick up any clothes she saw for the first time. 

Since she noticed that her neck was covered in lots of large bite marks and was bright purple in color, Lisa decided to wear a beige turtleneck and pair it with a long gray jacket. Then she took a short black skirt which, of course, was tight. 

It is certain that Lisa will not stop grumbling because of the heat that day. But rather than her colleague or worse, Maria or Cicilia seeing the bite marks on her neck, it's better for Lisa to endure the heat under the turtleneck. Even though she knows that Cicilia is a good friend, it's just that she feels tired of answering the thousands of questions that Cicilia throws at her.

If she had to choose, Lisa would definitely not choose to wear the clothes Oscar bought her. Tight and short in size, and it definitely looks expensive! What if she accidentally tore her skirt? What if her clothes got dirty and the coffee she usually drinks during the day stains it?

But the work clothes she wore yesterday were already in the washing machine and were still being washed. How could she wait until Mrs. Rusminah dried her clothes before leaving for work? That one demonic boss woman she had wouldn't stop scolding her for sure!

With hasty steps, Lisa tried to see her reflection in the mirror. It turned out that her appearance was not as embarrassing as she had imagined. Not to mention that the materials of the clothes she was wearing felt smooth and soft. It was very different from the ones she usually bought in unbranded stores.

If she had to compare it, perhaps the clothes that Lisa usually wears have a price of less than 200 thousand, while the clothes that Oscar bought for her should be 500 thousand and above!

For the bag, Lisa decided to take a small black bag to match her appearance. Since yesterday's high heels were still neatly tucked away near the entrance, Lisa chose to just wear them. Rather than having to wear the shoes Oscar gave her, she had better keep a low profile and not cause anything that would make her have to pay for the expensive shoes.

Without wasting any more time, Lisa rushed out of the room into the guest room she usually occupied. The woman took a shower, brushed her teeth, then less than 10 minutes later, she came out.

Time flies so fast that Lisa doesn't have time to drive William to school. Fortunately, there was Mrs. Rusminah who was willing to take the boy to school. 

At Oscar's doorstep, Lisa had just parted with William. The boy went to school with the maid using a car and a driver who was assigned to pick up William. Meanwhile, Lisa still had to wait a few minutes until the online taxi she ordered arrived.

Arriving at the office building, she tried hard to ignore the curious eyes that were thrown at her. Lisa could understand they were staring at her with a look of astonishment as well as disbelief. Because if she were in their position, she would do the same.

Wearing winter clothes in a tropical country? Has she lost her mind?

But what can she do? Even the most expensive brand of concealer can't cover Oscar's bite marks. 

At times like this, Lisa wished Karina was by her side. Because if that woman was next to her and was wearing flashy clothes, even more flashy than her, they would definitely prefer to look at Karina than her.

It wasn't until Lisa sat behind her desk that she saw Aaron rushing over. Lisa instantly felt bad. Usually, the man would come to her just to tell her to go to Maria's room or tell her something bad.

"Oh, you've finally come," said Aaron hastily. The man straightened his tie and continued, "Stand up. You are called by Mrs. Maria to her room."

Lisa took off her long jacket first then slung it behind her work chair. The woman saw the look on Aaron's face that was filled with concern and walked after the man from behind.

"Do you know why I was summoned to Mrs. Maria's room?"

Aaron turned his head for a moment, showing a concerned smile, "Sorry, I don't know. The only thing I know is that there are Mrs. Maria and Patricia in that room."

The feeling of panic immediately surged inside her. If the two women were in the same room and she happened to be called, there would be a problem. Like the one with yesterday's proposal.

Arriving at the door of Maria's room, Aaron turned and patted Lisa's shoulder.

"Keep your head up. At least you can just talk for a while."

Actually, Lisa wanted to reply, 'What?! Do you know that I have a big problem with Maria and Patricia? I'm sure I'll be kicked out of this company today, you know!'

But Lisa gave up her intention and chose to let out a thin smile. She waited until Aaron was out of sight before she dared to knock on Maria's door.

"Enter."

Hearing Maria's short reply made Lisa finally open the door to her room. With a friendly and polite tone, Lisa greeted her, "Good morning Mrs. Maria. Did you call for me?"

Since getting into trouble with the plagiarism case, Lisa never set foot into Maria's room again. Besides, she doesn't have anything to do with her, so she's pretty much too lazy to meet the demonic woman and also Patricia.

It seems that before Lisa knocked on Maria's door, the woman was having a serious conversation with the other person who was now standing with her back to Lisa. The demonic woman's face was serious, her brow furrowed, and her hand supported her chin. As soon as Maria heard Lisa's signature voice, she tilted her head and greeted Lisa with a friendly smile.

"Lisa, good morning!"

The memory of the other day where Maria didn't stop cursing at her and giving her a disdainful look just disappeared. This time, she gave her a friendly smile as well as a warm gaze. Very strange of her looking at how the demonic woman wanted to devour her alive a few days ago.

"Come here for a second, Lisa. There are some important things I would like to say about the problem the other day.." The demonic woman began with a cautious tone.
