Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 624 - I Don't Want Your Money

Hearing Oscar's answer made Lisa frown. She touched the man's broad shoulder, and her action made her seem familiar with Oscar.

"What are you talking about? This is all thanks to Vira's desire to continue living and trying to recover, you know. So, in my opinion, Vira's life savior is herself." Lisa said calmly.

Oscar was silent but nodded his head, confirming Lisa's reply. 

Vira sat pensively on the bed, watching the interaction of the former husband and wife. Her heart was actually in turmoil, but her face looked flat.

Not long after, Vira laughed, "No, Sis. If you hadn't come to save me, maybe I wouldn't be alive now."

Their conversation didn't stop there. Thanks to Oscar's presence, the VIP room became warm. Laughter was heard everywhere and Vira's face became radiant.

About 10 minutes later, the door was knocked. Then the female nurse who had short hair came in and smiled kindly, "Good afternoon, the family of the patient Vira Marisa, please come with me to the doctor's office."

"Coming." Lisa replied quickly.

After the nurse left, Lisa turned and caught a glimpse of Oscar and Vira. "You talk first, okay? I'm going to the doctor's office."

In the cold VIP room a faint sound of the news broadcast accompanied Vira and Oscar as they were left alone. Vira, who was never left alone with Oscar, felt her cheeks turn red and her heart beat fast. Her heart was suddenly filled with happiness, relief, panic, fear, and most importantly—hope.

She didn't know how all of those feelings suddenly invaded her either.

She was so happy that she choked on her own saliva. The coughing sound was loud enough to make Oscar startled. When the man turned to her, he saw that the woman's face and eyes were red.

"Oh my gosh..." Oscar said frantically. He immediately got up from the chair and took a glass of water, "This. Drink it quickly."

Seeing the glass in front of her eyes made Vira reflexively stop coughing. She suddenly stopped choking. And her heart felt warm because… well... this was the first time Oscar had noticed her!

"Thank you.."

With shaking hands, Vira took the glass from Oscar's hand. When their fingertips accidentally touched, Vira felt like her body was electrified. The woman immediately gulped the water quickly and put the glass back on the table.

Oscar raised his eyebrows at Vira's strange attitude. But the man didn't say anything and thought that maybe the woman felt awkward because it was the first time she was alone with another man.

The silence in the room didn't last long. Vira broke the stifling silence and said, "Mr Oscar…"

"Drop it, there's no need to be so formal." Oscar teased, then turned and saw Vira's sparkling eyes. "You're Lisa's friend so you don't need to be so formal."

Hearing that made Vira blinked her eyes many times. She stared back at Oscar's clear blue eyes that looked like the sea on a beach she hadn't visited in a long time. 

In her head, there were various kinds of questions that filled her mind. Starting from why Oscar does not want her to be so formal with him. 

Was that a sign that the man might want to get to know her better? What is their relationship now? And so on....

"Oscar." Vira forced her tongue to pronounce it. And yes, she liked how the man's name sounded in her ears, "Oscar."

Oscar cleared his throat, waiting for Vira to say what was on the woman's mind. 

"Ah, I'm jealous of Sis Lisa. She's beautiful and has a boyfriend like you. Literally a life goal…" Vira whispered without looking at Oscar.

Hearing that suddenly made Oscar stop thinking. Without the woman needing to say what she meant, Oscar already knew the hidden meaning. But the man still kept a neutral look and replied to Vira's words.

"I'm grateful that Lisa has a friend like you." Oscar replied politely.

Again and again, Vira tried to not smile like an idiot. "I'm also grateful because Sis Lisa is my friend. When I came to Jakarta, she was the only person who helped me. So I'm grateful."

"You've helped Lisa a few times, thanks for that." 

Suddenly, Oscar reached into the pocket of his coat and took out a check, "I've prepared this since the first day you were hospitalized, I just didn't have time to give you this."

"Please, just take this as a thank you for helping Lisa." Oscar continued.

Vira saw the check Oscar was holding. From a distance, she could see quite a number of zeros. Maybe, she can buy a house in Bali or take a vacation around the world with that check.

Vira looked at the check with a confused feeling. Her brow furrowed, her eyes often fell on Oscar's handsome face and the check, and then she bit her lower lip. 

What did the man mean by giving her this much money?

If this is the prize for just hosting Lisa in her humble apartment, she can't imagine how much money she will receive if she does more for Lisa.

Vira chuckled in her heart. Lisa is indeed lucky to have a partner like Oscar. 

Oscar gave her a lot of money, but it wasn't enough to make Vira lose her feelings for him.

Vira did not immediately accept the check and preferred to look at the man with a confused look. The woman frowned and asked, "Oscar, do you think I helped her to get your money?"

Hearing that made Oscar dumbfounded. He had absolutely no bad intentions because he gave Vira a lot of money. It was just that he didn't know what to do because he was so grateful. 

Finally, after thinking for a long time, the man decided to give Vira some money.

But Oscar did not expect that Vira would have such thoughts.

"I feel grateful that you want to give me money, it's just that I can't accept that much money. I helped Sis Lisa because she is my best friend, not because I expect anything in return.." Vira continued coldly.
