Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 549 - Fooled Again

Usually, Lisa could figure out what Maria would do. She had often met people who hated her and wanted to bring her down. But now, standing in front of Maria, she didn't know what she wanted.

Did Maria just apologize to her? Looks like the sun will really rise from the west!

Half of her knew that Maria looked sincere and wanted to apologize. But her other half knew that she was actually lying and just wanted to play with her feelings.

But before Lisa could observe Maria's attitude any further, she saw the woman running towards her. With teary eyes and a pitiful face, Maria touched Lisa's hand.

"Lisa, forgive me, okay?"

Even though what Maria did before was really painful, she was still an ordinary person. If the woman is lying and just wants to play with her feelings again, that's okay. Lisa is not sinless either. She has made mistakes and has apologized.

Humans have to forgive each other, right?

Having such thoughts made Lisa think twice. Perhaps Maria did feel guilty and now wanted to change the course of her life. What's wrong with her accepting Maria's apology then?

"Okay, since you sound sincere and admit that what you did was wrong, I accept your apology. But I 'm sorry we can't be friends. From now on, our relationship is only as superiors and subordinates. You are my boss while I am only your employee."

Maria nodded her head quickly, "Thanks for forgiving me, Lisa!"

"You're already apologizing, how come I don't accept your apology?" Lisa said as she tried to remove her hand from Maria's hand, "I'm also an ordinary person, you know."

"So what about it? Can you come to the dinner this afternoon with me?" Maria asked in a hopeful tone. 

Lisa had forgiven her, but that didn't mean she wanted to attend the dinner, which was definitely formal and important. She also didn't know what to wear, what to make up, or even how to act.

Still, seeing the look on Maria's face that looked pitiful like a small dog getting dumped on the street, Lisa couldn't refuse the woman's request. 

"Yes, yes, I can attend the event. I just have to go home first to change into more appropriate clothes. Just send me the address, we'll see you there."

Maria had just let go of Lisa's hand when she heard the woman agree to her invitation to go out together. With a big smile he said, "But you promise you'll meet me there, right?"

"Oh yeah, I promise I'll be there."

"Thank you!"

Lisa cleared her throat, "I'll go first."

As soon as Lisa came out of her room, Maria's face changed drastically. She wiped her fake tears with the back of her palm and her lips parted wide. She didn't expect that her plan would work this fast!

"What a moron. Rangga is right to leave her..."

The other day, when she told the news to Indri that Lisa had plagiarized Patricia's proposal, she hoped that the woman would support her and also scold Lisa to death. But in fact, the woman actually scolded her and embarrassed her in front of Patricia and several other employees.

On the day they had their meeting that morning, Maria was really embarrassed because of Lisa. She could only feel relieved when Lisa was publicly humiliated, but the woman was not present at the meeting. She couldn't imagine what would happen if her nemesis came and witnessed everything.

Because Lisa was making her miserable again, Maria wouldn't just let her go. 

Fortunately, Maria is happy to watch Korean soap operas and dramas. Because every Sunday night, she would spend her time watching dramas from her TV screen, and she has come to know how to act. False tears were no longer a difficult matter for Maria.

Sitting back in her work chair, Maria let out a relieved laugh. The demonic woman was looking forward to their dinner party!

Maria then reached into her tote bag and pulled out her cell phone. She dialed the number she had memorized by heart and held the screen to her ear.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Robert! As promised, for the cooperation of our company next month, I have prepared a big and impressive gift for you. Ah, but I don't know whether you will like the gift I have prepared or not…"

"Wow, what kind of gift is that, Mrs. Maria? I'm so curious! But actually, you don't have to bother to bring me gifts. Collaborating with a Better Life company is already quite profitable for our company, hahaha! Don't bother bringing me a present!"

Hearing that made Maria smile widely. She leaned back against the soft back of her office chair and began to tell him all her evil plans. 

After Maria told Robert, the man laughed, "Miss, you know what I like. If it's like this, how come I have the heart to refuse a gift from Mrs. Maria? Thank you very much, Mom…"

As if being carried into the sky, Maria's shoulders were lifted up in pride. Looks like she will have to capture that golden moment with a high resolution camera tonight!

Maria fiddled with the ends of her hair and said, "Thank God Mr. Robert is happy with my gift choice. Since you will receive a gift from me tonight, I hope our company can work together, sir!"

"You don't have to worry anymore. Our company will definitely cooperate with yours," Robert replied in his deep voice. "As long as Mother keeps her promise and brings me the gift."

"William!" Lisa called as she walked out of the room.

"Mama!" William shouted back. The boy came out of the kitchen carrying a glass of cold water, "Where are you going, Mama? Why are you wearing nice clothes?"

Lisa tried to squat, because wearing a tight dress like this made it difficult for her to move freely. He kissed William's forehead and chubby cheeks and said, "Tonight Mama has dinner that you must attend. Don't be naughty, okay?"

Even though William was young, he was used to being left at home alone. So now, even though he was still not very familiar with this apartment, he was okay if he had to be left alone.

"Mama, be careful, okay." 

Lisa nodded her head and kissed William's forehead again, "Definitely.. You too, my son."
