Chapter 672 - Looking For Better
Lisa sighed and looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her ears could still hear the sound of clattering high heels followed by laughter from outside. The atmosphere outside sounded noisy, unlike the restroom.
Then Lisa turned her gaze and looked at Indri from the mirror's reflection. She looked at her with a look of sadness and disbelief. She was sad because her co-worker resigned, and in disbelief because the woman was defeated by her love.
Just because of a breakup, Indri chose to resign from that fairly high position.
For a few moments, neither of them spoke. The aura around them was tense, almost like that of school girls about to fight for the same guy.
Finally, Lisa decided to break the silence. "You... I heard you've resigned huh?"
"Yes," Indri replied slowly, she returned Lisa's gaze from the mirror. "I hope you are happy with my decision this time."
Then the woman burst out laughing with teary eyes, "I'm joking. I hope you don't miss me."
Lisa imitated Indri's laugh and looked back at the woman with a sympathetic look. But if she said what was in her heart, it would sound like a silly "I'm sorry," and so the woman would definitely get emotional and scorn her with bloodshot eyes.
Even though Lisa and Indri didn't know each other very well, they were still co-workers, so Lisa still thought they were cool.
At such a young age, Indri had already got a high position in a company. Not to mention her beautiful face, which was able to make any man want to kneel down, worshiping her beauty.
Including Lisa.
But if she told Indri that she felt guilty and sorry for the woman, Indri might hate her even more and think that she was mocking her. Lisa didn't want them to be enemies on the last day of Indri being her co-worker.
"How could I be glad you resigned from the company?" Lisa finally replied.
Indri rolled her eyes and replied, "Then, you still have to feel happy, because in the end you won."
"I won?"
Indri cleared her throat, "Why else? You won Oscar's heart."
At first, Indri tried his best to win that man. She wanted to do everything to get his attention. Helping Lisa at the office? Indri did it right away. Raise Lisa's position in the office? She stupidly did it.
Everything she did was to win Oscar's heart.
But she didn't just do all of that for free. She deliberately took Oscar to Bali, to a vacation together so that the man could at least see the side of her that's not someone with a position in the company. If Oscar accepted her invitation, she would help Lisa any time in return.
Indri always used Lisa as her reason because she knew Oscar would do everything for her. And stupidly, Indri didn't realize that she didn't have a chance to win that man's heart.
There was already a woman who filled his heart. No matter how much effort she put in, crying blood or coming to a shaman even, nothing could erase Lisa's name from Oscar's heart.
After saying that, Lisa and Indri fell into a deep silence. Again, Lisa felt guilty and didn't know what to say.
"I should have realized that Oscar will always chase after you."
When Indri didn't hear a reply from Lisa, she continued, "Sometimes I feel jealous of you. Because in my entire life, I have never met a man who would do everything for me. Just like what Oscar did for you."
When she said those words, Indri's voice trembled. Lisa didn't know what to say other than sorry because Indri had to experience such a painful love story with her as the sole reason for her one-sided love.
Lisa turned around and saw Indri's face, "You are a kind and beautiful person. It's just that you haven't met your soulmate yet. For someone like you, I believe someone just as amazing out there will come to your life someday."
"If I could make it happen, I'd just want Oscar as my soulmate." Indri replied slowly. The woman walked past Lisa and looked at her reflection in the mirror. "But he actually chose you over me."
If Indri said that before, maybe Lisa would feel jealous or even offended. But now, she felt nothing.
No feelings of anger, offence, or pride or whatsoever.
"You deserve a much better guy than Oscar. I hope that you will meet a good guy who can be your life partner until death do you two in a new place."
Previously, Indri did not know why Oscar could fall in love with Lisa. Among the thousands of women the man knew, including her, why did he choose Lisa?
She wasn't that beautiful, her height was just average. Not that she was a rich genius either. So Indri couldn't quite grasp the idea of Oscar choosing Lisa over her.
But that man still did.
And now, hearing that come out of Lisa's lips, made Indri realize why Oscar loved that woman. Turns out she had a good heart. Even though Indri has hurt her heart several times before, Lisa is still kind to her.
Because if Indri were in Lisa's position, maybe she would mock her and show off Oscar in front of her.
"Thank you, thank you for the prayer. Now I know why Oscar loves you. It turns out that you are a kind-hearted person, it's only natural that you two are perfect for each other." Indri replied.
Hearing that made Lisa smile widely. She nodded her head and said, "Thanks. I hope you will meet a guy who really loves you for who you are."
"Take care of Oscar with all your heart. He's a good guy." Indri whispered, wiping her tears.
Even though Oscar rejected her love about a month ago, her heart still ached. She didn't know how long she would feel like this.
Lisa knew how prideful of a person Indri was. That's why she pretended not to see some of the tears that fell down the woman's cheeks. She preferred to look the other way and let Indri calm herself.
"Ah," Indri looked at her watch and said, "We've been out of the room for more than 15 minutes, we better go back inside. Otherwise, everyone will suspect us."
Lisa nodded her head "Yeah.. Let's go."
