Chapter 551 - Jealous Flame
Chapter 551 - Jealous Flame
"Hey, wait a minute!"
But it's too late. Maria had already brought Lisa before Oscar and Indri. After letting go of her hand, she took two glasses of red wine from the tray brought by the waitress walking past them. With a friendly smile, Maria thrust one of them into Lisa's hand.
"Drink, you said you were thirsty." Maria said briefly.
Seeing Lisa at this event made Oscar frown. He was even more confused when he saw Lisa attending the event with Maria. Didn't he tell Lisa not to get close to Maria?
But not long after, Oscar's face returned to normal. If he had always smiled before, now the man looked stiff. There was no friendly smile on his lips and his eyes were stern and cold.
After taking a sip of the red wine, Maria moved closer to Indri. Just like high class socialites they were, they greeted and smiled at each other.
"Mrs. Indri, I didn't expect to meet you and," Maria raised her right hand and pointed at Oscar with a friendly smile. "Your new partner."
It is no secret that Maria and Indri are quite close in the company. Even though the two fight over disagreements or about work sometimes, nothing can break their friendship. So it's not something strange that she greeted Indri.
"Partner… W-What do you mean by partner?" Indri replied nervously. Her cheeks were red, not because of the blush she was wearing. "But what a coincidence! I didn't expect you to be at the dinner tonight."
"How could I waste this opportunity? I just got an invitation to this event yesterday, that's why I'm here now, hahaha! Oh, by the way..." Maria suddenly turned and touched Lisa's shoulder, "I'm here with Lisa."
When Lisa was on her way to Platio Dining, she had vowed not to touch alcohol at all. Not only alcohol, she didn't want to touch the red wine. She still has to go home to the arms of her innocent son!
She wouldn't let the boy see her whenever she's drunk.
However, seeing Oscar laughing intimately with Indri made her heart feel hot. It was so hot that the side effects of the red wine that usually felt hot in her throat didn't even bother her at all! Lisa continued to gulp glass after glass of red wine quickly.
Every time a waitress passed by and brought a glass of red wine and a small snack, Lisa didn't stop taking it. Who knows if the amount of liquor she consumes will cover up her jealousy.
Maybe, since her system has been filled with alcohol, Lisa managed to throw a friendly smile at Oscar and Indri.
"Ah Oscar, Petra and Alden seem to have arrived. Let's go there and greet them." Indri invited with a whisper. Stupid, she didn't know that Lisa heard everything she said.
Lisa didn't know if this was the effect of the liquor she was drinking or the fire of jealousy, it's just that her hearing was so sharp this time! Even though she wasn't standing close, she could still hear Indri's whisper.
Oscar followed Indri's gaze and nodded his head. He tightened his grip on the woman's slender waist and replied, "Yes, come on. I'm getting bored here!"
It was only when the two lovers left their surroundings that Lisa could heave a sigh of relief. From earlier, she felt her stomach queasy and cold sweat wet her temples.
This time, Lisa really felt that her heart was broken by Oscar again, and in the most stupid way. She really shouldn't have let that man take her heart and break her heart again and again.
Of all the relationships she used to have with men, she found out that they loved to play with women's hearts.
"Eh, there is a table for various kinds of alcoholic drinks. As long as tomorrow is Sunday, you and I can get drunk for free!" Maria said enthusiastically. Just like Lisa, her red wine glass is almost empty.
"Actually, yes, I've often been invited to formal dinners like this. So I know that such an event usually serves red wine and other liquor." Maria replied confidently. "Now, let's go and try other drinks!"
Seeing Lisa looking awry along with her shaking hands when she finished his third shot, Maria smiled widely in secret.
Indeed, the reason she invited Lisa to attend the formal event was to take revenge. She had prepared plans after plans that had not yet been implemented. Meeting Oscar and Indri was a plan she never had time to think about.
Looks like today will go a lot better than she thought!
Without further ado, Maria led Lisa to the table filled with various kinds of liquor. Behind the large table, a waiter is seen busy mixing various kinds of liquor.
Maria took two glasses of champagne at random and gave one of them into Lisa's hand. That woman wouldn't miss an opportunity to embarrass Lisa tonight! And one way to embarrass her is by telling her to drink various kinds of liquor.
Who knew that if she was so drunk, Lisa would embarrass herself in public. It would be even better if the woman humiliated herself in front of Indri! Maybe Maria could have a good night's sleep and all her worries would just disappear when Lisa was fired from the company.
Again, when Lisa wanted to refuse Maria's invitation to drink more liquor, she saw Oscar and Indri walking towards a table filled with bottles of liquor. Instantly, she drained the champagne from the tall, slender glass!
And again, seeing Lisa's attitude that looks like a beast makes Maria feel happy. At first, she invited her here to get her drunk and then started to carry out her plan. She had absolutely no intention of bringing Lisa and Oscar together.
But it seems, the whole world is supporting her to take revenge on Lisa tonight! Suddenly, Oscar came with his arm around Indri's waist. And out of the corner of her eye she could see Lisa's blushing face.
"Oh, the drink is too strong for you, isn't it?" Maria asked with an innocent look.
