Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 569 - Red Rose

Hearing her name being called, Indri suddenly got up from her chair. "Yeah? What is it?"

The man immediately looked at Indri and smiled broadly. He walked deeper into the room, carrying a paper and a bouquet of red roses.

"A bouquet of flowers for you." The man said politely. He unfolded the paper and took a ballpoint pen from his pocket, "Please sign here."

Without Indri needing to explain anything, Lisa was willing to bet that the bouquet was a gift from Oscar for that woman. Especially seeing Indri's sparkling eyes and wide smile. Lisa is pretty sure that her guess is right!

Oscar had indeed sent her a red rose. Maybe about a week or two ago. But that's after they've known each other for more than 3 years! And now, Oscar has sent Indri red roses after knowing each other for less than 1 year! 

They really are getting closer now!

After the mysterious flower sender came out, Indri took a deep breath in a bouquet of flowers filled with red roses. She then looked at Lisa while still smiling broadly.

"What do you think? Aren't these flowers beautiful? It's a gift from Oscar, you know."

Lisa sighed, "Y-yeah, they're beautiful."

For God sake Lisa tried her best not to walk over to Indri's table, took the bouquet of flowers and threw it out through the window. What does the woman mean to ask her whether the flower is beautiful or not? Had she forgotten that she was Oscar's ex-wife!?

Seeing the change in Lisa's facial expression made Indri laugh out loud in her heart. The woman raised her hand and stroked the red rose petals. Ah, who would have thought that she could be this happy today?

"Do you know the meaning of red roses, Lisa?" Indri asked stupidly. 

Of course Lisa thought that Indri would tell her to get out and get to work. Not asking about her opinion of Oscar's red roses. Hadn't she insulted her enough by saying that the bouquet was Oscar's gift?

Love and admiration. 

Of course Lisa knows the meaning behind that flower! She knew because she couldn't stop browsing about red roses after Oscar sent her. 

Suddenly, Lisa remembered something. In the past, she only received a red rose, even though she had known Oscar much longer than Indri. But now, the woman had actually gotten a bouquet of flowers!

It seems that Oscar really wants to take Indri seriously.

"Sorry, I don't know about things like that, ma'am." Lisa replied coldly. Even the temperature in the room couldn't match the coldness of her voice. "I don't really like flowers."

Indri chuckled and took another deep breath of the red rose. She allowed her chest cavity to be filled with the fragrance of the flower and answered, "Red roses mean love and admiration."

"Ma'am, may I leave now? I still have a lot of work and I still have to clear my things from my previous desk." Lisa replied while trying to contain her emotions. 

She could not stand to linger in that room. Suddenly, the atmosphere of the room made her short of breath and nauseous. If she didn't come out now, she could hate red roses forever along with that woman so much that she would burn down this office building!

How Oscar and Indri showed that they fell in love with each other made Lisa sick and jealous. Back when she still had a special relationship with Oscar, they had never loved each other this much.

No flower bouquets were suddenly sent. No talking while leaning back in the car. 

The way they loved each other used to be so… mundane and boring. Other people will never fall in love the way she did it with Oscar. Never like this. And that made Lisa furious.

Even though she knew that she and Oscar were no longer in a relationship, she still felt angry and jealous. Her heart ached and her chest felt tight, as if a rope was tightly tying her chest. Even though Lisa already has a child with Oscar, their relationship will never be normal again. 

Lisa and Oscar now have a relationship that is only limited to William's parents. Just that. Nothing more.

"Lisa, I know that you can distinguish work and personal matters. You know that I'm currently in a serious relationship with Oscar, and I hope you don't mind that, or worse, making it an issue here."

"You're already divorced from Oscar, so I thought it would be fine if I had more of a relationship with him." Indri continued seriously as her eyes gradually turned firm.

"Ah, take it easy. I'm not the type of woman who likes to bring personal problems into work. Moreover, I am not lazy or need such recognition. So, you can take it easy because this will not affect my performance." Lisa's reply was no less serious than Indri's.

Listening to her explanation made Indri nod her head steadily. She was both satisfied and proud because she had finally told Lisa that she and Oscar were in a serious relationship.

"Okay, you can get out and get back to work." Indri replied after a long silence and did not forget to take a deep breath in the scent of the red rose.

Back at her old desk, Lisa no longer needed to be tired of putting on a thick mask. The woman immediately crumpled up all the paper she no longer needed and quickly threw it in the trash. At that moment, her mind and eyes were only filled with red color. The color of the red rose.

Lisa did admit that she is not the type of woman who gets jealous easily. Unlike many other women, who plot to destroy others because they have approached the man they like, Lisa thought such a behavior was shameful and she wouldn't do that.

But now, her heart feels hot and hurts for some reason. As if being stabbed mercilessly. 

Finally, Lisa spent her time cleaning her desk while feeling annoyed and spiteful. Her face didn't show any nice smile for the whole day even though she had just been promoted.
