Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 66 - The Handsome Man With Money Turned Out To Be. . .

Lisa was seen coming out of the Petersson Communication office building. As she was about to cross the road to the busway stop, a black Mercedes pulled up right on the sidewalk where Lisa was currently standing.

Lisa glanced right at the side mirror of the car and wondered. Why did the black luxury car stop right in front of her? Was that Oscar in his new car? No way, Oscar was still working in Singapore.

After a few seconds, someone got off from the black Mercedes. A tall man in a dark blue suit stepped out of the car. Lisa slightly stepped back from where she was standing, anticipating the sudden movement of the stranger.

The man had curly hair and its color was brownish black. His eyebrows were a little thick and dive. His lips were full and flushed. The man had a handsome face of typical mixed features with pale white skin without the slightest spot. At first glance, his face was similar to the famous actor Nicolas Samudra.

Lisa watched the man's face carefully. She felt familiar with his face. A few moments later, when the man exchanged glances with Lisa, his face became even clearer. Lisa was stunned to see the figure of a man who had just gotten out of his car.

"Rangga Septian!?" Lisa exclaimed as the man raised an eyebrow at her.

"Wow, I never thought you would recognize me, Lis!" The man approached Lisa and embraced her. "I really miss you, it's been a really long time since I met you. Do you still like getting drunk?"

Lisa pushed the man away jokingly. "No, I don't! I'm already sober! I've been on my alcohol diet!"

"Really? I never thought you could be on a diet!" Rangga giggled.

"You son of a bitch, you haven't seen me in a long time and now you are asking me this!? By the way, how are you? It's crazy you look so handsome now. No, I thought you wanted to rob me at first!"

"Damn you, did you just say a handsome man like me wants to rob you? Ha ha ha!"

When both of them were still in high school, Rangga was not quite a bright student in the class. He didn't have any outstanding achievement in class. He was not a popular kid who enjoyed playing sports or being part of the school band.

Rangga and Lisa were childhood friends. They both lived next door when they were still children. In fact, they always went to school together from elementary to high school. When they both entered college, they began to separate. Rangga was forced to study outside the city because his family's economy was not good at that time.

"Anyway Lis, you're not busy, right? Hang out with me for a moment at Sunbucks?" Rangga invited enthusiastically.

Lisa nodded at Rangga's invitation. The woman got into Rangga's car and left the sidewalk. Sitting next to the driver's seat, Lisa looked around in disbelief. This night really felt like a real dream. She still couldn't believe the man next to her was really Rangga, her old friend. They had not met for years and now the same Rangga who was once plain and ordinary suddenly appeared in front of her as a handsome man in an expensive suit and driving a luxurious black Mercedes!

"You're so crazy, where did you get help to buy this car?" Lisa asked in a mischievous tone.

"It's good to help, I bought it with my own money!"

"Just say you won the lottery."

The man laughed out loud at Lisa's words. "Money in the lottery will never be enough to buy a Mercedes Lis!"

"Yes, I believe that you bought this car using your own money!" Lisa chuckled, her hands folded as she stared at the sparkling street lights of the capital city.

Arriving at Sunbucks, Rangga stood in line to order coffee and snacks while Lisa helped him find a seat outside. Rangga was a heavy smoker, he didn't like sitting in an air-conditioned room.

Rangga sat right in front of Lisa. The man handed cheesecake and cappuccino to her. Even though he was rich now, his coffee taste was still the same as when he was still hanging out at the small coffee shop.

"Damn it, Rangga! Are you serious? Did you really just order a brewed coffee?" Lisa asked teasingly.

"My coat may be Bullberry, but the only coffee that suits my tongue and taste is still Mrs. Karti's coffee!" Rangga replied, taking out a clove cigarette from his high school years.

"Your taste is the same as the middle and lower class. Your cigarettes haven't changed since high school days!"

"No kind of cigarettes tasted better than Djarum Pentul cigarettes. Even Manboro loses to it!" Rangga pulled out his Zipper lighter then lit and burned the tip of his unfiltered cigarette. He exhaled the smoke while leaning his back.

"So how about you now, Lis? I heard you're working in Petersson Communication now, right?" Rangga asked while smoking his cigarette.

"Yes, I'm still at Petersson Communication. Eh, I should be the one asking you about what kind of work you do now until you can buy an expensive car like this?"

"Didn't you say I was helped to buy this?" Rangga replied briefly.

"Yes, I know you must have put a lot of effort into your work. But what a pathetic effort!"

Rangga just smiled at his old friend's question. He returned to smoking and exhaling cigarettes. His skinny fingers grasped the ear of the coffee cup then sipped slowly.

"Sunbucks doesn't make good coffee right? I'd say, I enjoyed brewed coffee at Mrs. Karti's small coffee shop!" The man replied spontaneously.

"Don't tell me you're a drug dealer," Lisa asked sharply. Her eyes met Rangga's narrow eyes.

"What? No! Of course not, Lis duh! Okay, let me tell you, I have an insurance company. It's not that big, but it's not bad either because my insurance company often collaborates with other big companies."

Lisa nodded. She still couldn't believe that her innocent and unpopular schoolmate had become a quite successful company's president in his field. Rangga was one of the many examples of people who drifted away!

"So you just came home from work? How come you suddenly pulled over the sidewalk near my office!" Lisa asked curiously.

"Oh, I just helped my mother move. I was finally able to make my mother's dream happen to live in a luxurious house. I bought my mother a luxury house in South Jakarta. She really liked it that she cried in joy," Rangga explained proudly.

Lisa was surprised to hear Rangga's words. "Are you serious? A luxurious house in South Jakarta? I was there too! Wow, can we be neighbors again?"

"Meeting you again seems like my destiny. Don't you think so? Haha!"

"You didn't give me any news for years and now you drive a Mercedes! Who wouldn't get surprised?"

Rangga was sipping his black coffee that was getting cold. "Ugh, the coffee is getting colder, and the taste is getting worse!" The man put down his coffee cup and said, "Are you in South Jakarta now? Crazy, you are also rich now, Lis. Surely your rank in Petersson Communication is really high!"

Lisa was shocked to hear Rangga's words until she was confused about answering them. Lisa couldn't tell her life story since her ex-boyfriend Aditya left her until she married the president of the company where she worked!

Lisa just nodded, pretending to say yes so that Rangga wouldn't ask further questions about her personal life.

"By the way, are you getting married to Aditya?" Rangga asked spontaneously.

Lisa was surprised, her eyes were wide, her tongue felt like it was rolled back. Lisa's heart was suddenly beating so fast that she almost felt like she was going to fall out of her body.

"What do you mean?"
