Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 570 - Phone Calls

For two days in a row, Lisa didn't know what relaxing was. During that time, she was trying to adjust to her job as a manager, busy moving her things in her new office.

She barely spoke to anyone in the office. The woman was too busy getting used to this high position to have the spare time to make small talk with Cicilia or the others.

She didn't even have time to pick up William from school.

Only about a month later, Lisa has gotten used to being a manager in the finance division. She even surpassed Maria's performance in less than a month.

Some of her colleagues were relieved when they found out that Lisa would take Maria's place. At first, they kept whispering about who would take Maria's place. They just hoped that the replacement wasn't a pervert or a stubborn and overly disciplined woman.

They hoped that Maria's successor would be a nice person, friendly, easy to smile, and if they made a mistake, they would not be publicly humiliated. 

The next day when they found out that it was Lisa who would replace Maria, they could only breathe a sigh of relief. Early in the morning, around 7 o'clock, they were already at the office and wanted to help Lisa clean up her things from her old desk.

"Oh my, it's true!" Suddenly, a female colleague laughed, "I didn't expect to call you Miss Lisa! Okay, okay, I hope you like being our manager!"

Cicilia came and brought Lisa a bouquet of pink flowers. The woman smiled widely and couldn't help but hug her friend.

"Miss Lisa, whether you are my boss or my friend, Miss Lisa is still my favorite! Don't forget me and our lunch together, okay?"

Lisa chuckled and returned Cicilia's hug, "Yeah, we'll still eat together as usual."

After they let go of their embrace, Lisa suddenly saw the figure of a man walking towards them. She turned and saw Aaron walking with a medium sized paper bag.

"Miss Lisa, good morning. I just received news that this old friend of mine will replace Mrs. Maria." Aaron held the dark brown paper bag in Lisa's hand, "Take this. There is some office equipment that you might need. Think of it as my apology to you for my behavior the other day."

Lisa furrowed her brows, "No, no, no! Who said I was mad at you? You don't have to give me this!"

"Just accept it, ma'am. I really regret what I did. But if you don't want to accept it, that's okay. Even though I've already spent half of my salary on all of this—"

"Okay, okay," Lisa interrupted quickly after sighing. She took the paper bag from Aaron's hand and smiled a little, "Thank you."

Those were some of the many things that happened after they found out that Lisa would take Maria's place. If they didn't bat an eye on her before, now their attitude towards her has changed drastically.

Lisa is truly being treated like a princess in her majestic castle. 

Behind the wooden door of the finance division manager's room, Lisa felt so tired. Anyone could tell that she was exhausted.

On one hand, she had to finish all the jobs that Maria hadn't completed before. On the other, she had to work on the new tasks her superiors had assigned her. No wonder she looked like a ghost now.

Now that she had experienced how hard it was to be a manager, it kind of baffled her how free Maria and Surya used to be. How could they languish around with all of these works?

Surya had so much time to toy and fool around with female employees, and Maria too, she seemed to be so work-free that she had the time to plot evil against Lisa. 

Lisa herself didn't have the free time to pick up William. 

If she usually comes home from work at 4 or half past five, now she can only leave the office at half past seven in the evening. Just like today. The woman walked out of the office building with a sore back and a stiff neck. 

Before Lisa could raise her hand to hail a taxi, she felt her phone vibrate. Since she already had her cell phone in her hand, she could quickly see who was calling her.

Even though it wasn't Oscar who dialed her number, she already knew the owner of the numbers she didn't keep. 

For a few seconds, the woman just looked down and looked at her cell phone's screen. She hesitated to take the phone call. But she also wondered why the owner of the number was calling her now.

Without realizing it, Lisa's thumb pressed the green button. "Hello?"

As soon as Lisa said that, her ears could hear a sigh of relief from the other end of the line. 

"Lisa, I want to go with you now. Are you busy? Wanna go somewhere?" The man's voice sounded sluggish.

Lisa bit her lower lip and thought before giving him an answer. Of course she wasn't busy, all she wanted now was to go back to the apartment and immediately straighten her back on the bed. Her eyes felt hot, just like her brain.

But Lisa was also curious about what made the man suddenly want to meet her. After what happened, it turned out that he still had the face to go with her. There must be something important he wanted to say.

"Okay, I can go with you now. Where are you?"

Just from hearing his voice, Lisa could tell that the man was relieved and happy. "I'm near my car. Just look, you'll see me right away."

And Lisa did what the man told her to do. She turned her head and saw Rangga standing, leaning his back on a familiar car. His face looked sluggish and his cheekbones stood out even more.

Hasn't he been getting enough rest and eating lately?

Lisa walked towards Rangga with fairly fast steps. She adjusted her grip on her tote bag and worked up her courage.

"Why did you suddenly ask me out?"

Rangga opened the door to the driver's seat and said, "Come in first. I'll tell you everything later."
