Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 688 - Invitation To Lunch

After an accidental meeting with Greta earlier, Lisa became convinced that Kumala did not approve of her choice. The middle-aged woman definitely no longer supported her relationship with Oscar.

After changing her work clothes into night clothes which luckily was still stored in her wardrobe, Lisa lay down on the bed. Last night was still vivid in her mind. 

Lisa tried various sleeping positions that could at least make it easier for her to fall asleep. She tried to tilt her body to the right, to the left, facing the ceiling until she finally tried to lie on her stomach. But the results were all the same. She still couldn't sleep and Greta's taunts and Kumala's refusal kept echoing inside her mind.

The woman had fallen asleep for a while. But not too long, maybe about half an hour later, Lisa woke up from her dream. After that, she stayed awake for about 1 hour before she fell asleep again later.

The next day, Lisa woke up before the sun entered her bedroom. When she came out, she saw that the door to Kumala's bedroom was still tightly closed. The light on the living room was still on and there was no sign that the middle-aged woman had come out of the room. 

Lisa sighed, then rushed to the kitchen to make herself and Kumala breakfast with a simple menu. Toast topped with chocolate sprinkles. Lisa did not eat her breakfast on the dining table— she took it into her room to accompany her to get ready.

Since she couldn't possibly come to the office while still wearing the same work clothes, Lisa had to hurry back to Oscar's house. Fortunately, the road  that morning was not too congested, so it only took her 20 minutes to reach the man's house.

Usually, the atmosphere at Oscar's house would be a little frenetic at this hour. The sound of William's laughter would fill the dining room and the fragrant aroma of cooking would've aired. But now, Oscar's house was quiet. The man had already left for the office, while Mrs. Rusminah was busy in the back, ironing a mountain of clothes.

Since Lisa couldn't sleep well last night, now the woman felt so tired and sleepy. She couldn't stop yawning all the way to the office, even more so once she sat behind her desk.

Her eyes felt so heavy, she didn't think she could keep staring at the screen. She was so tired that she couldn't concentrate at all. Finally, without finishing her work, Lisa decided to go home during lunch time. Saying that she was not feeling well, the woman managed to escape from the office.

By the time Lisa was out of the building, she wanted to raise her hand and stop the taxi. But before she could do that, the corner of her eye caught a jet black sports car that only had two doors parked not far from her. 

Not long after, the window to its driver's seat went down and revealed the face of a woman who was very familiar to Lisa. She was wearing heart-shaped sunglasses and her skin was as white as milk, making the bright red lipstick she was wearing stand out.

Lisa frowned, "Why is she here?"

Before she could walk up to the car, she saw the driver's door open upwards. Then, not long after, a beautiful woman wearing white high heels stepped out. Her tight dress showed her slender and sexy curves. 

Even Lisa, who is a woman, thinks that she is the most beautiful and sexy woman she has ever met.

Chloe took off her heart-shaped glasses and walked over to Lisa with a big smile. "Lisa, hello!"

With the sound of high heels that sounded quite loud, Chloe walked over to Lisa with fast steps. Her hips moved right and left elegantly, and her long golden yellow hair was blown by the wind.

"Hi... Why are you here?" Lisa asked when Chloe was already standing in front of her.

"I just finished attending the opening party of a friend's cafe around here. I did have a purpose to meet you here, Lisa. It's a coincidence that I saw you coming out of the building earlier!"

Lisa nodded her head slowly, "Oh…"

Chloe held her heart glasses in her left hand while carrying a small red tote bag. "If you don't mind, how about we have lunch together?"

Hearing that made Lisa blink a few times. She had told Oscar that she would go home and sleep at the man's house this morning, not at Kumala's house anymore. The man responded to her texts with such enthusiasm that he even made a plan to have lunch together.

Just before Lisa left the office, she got a text message from Oscar saying that the man was ready.

Now his sister suddenly came and asked her to have lunch together. If she followed Chloe's invitation to lunch, Oscar would have been angry at her and maybe sulking like a child.

Seeing Lisa who looked a little hesitant made the corners of Chloe's lips pulled up. She played with the ends of her wavy hair and said, "Ah, your husband is a strict type of person, isn't he? Are you afraid that he will be angry if you have lunch with me?"

Hearing that made Lisa embarrassed. Did her face look so easy to read that Chloe, a woman who had not known her for long, could find out what was in her heart? Lisa bit her lower lip, suddenly embarrassed because her feelings were written all over her face.

"No, it's not like that. I just… I've got an appointment to have lunch with Oscar…"

At the same second, Chloe had already opened her tote bag. "Then let me call him so he knows that you're having lunch with me this time. Don't worry, okay?"

"No no no!" Lisa snapped suddenly, "What if he has an important meeting now? He will be even more angry with us again…"

"What? Oscar dares to be angry with me? Impossible!" Chloe replied confidently. She let go of Lisa's hand who was trying to take her cell phone and chuckled, "Don't worry, Oscar won't be mad at you or me."

After sending the short message to Oscar, Chloe immediately hooked her arm with Lisa's. She couldn't wait for her brother's reply just to have lunch with Lisa! After all, how could that man have the heart to scold her?

"I've told Oscar that you are going to have lunch with me. Shall we go now?"
