Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 24 - Borrowing Money



On the ground floor, Lisa met Andien in the office canteen. It had been a long time since they met, even if they were still working in one office. The different departments had made the distance between them drive even further. Since Lisa was given more rest time by Oscar, the two of them chatted while waiting for their food to arrive.

"Since you were transferred from the finance department, it felt lonely, Lis! Damar is now a financial manager as your replacement. He\'s the one who is not strict, duh! I\'m surprised someone like him can change your position." Andien complained while sipping her drink.

"Yes, Ndien, don\'t worry, Damar is a very thorough person! It\'s still a month, after all, it will take a long time for him to be self-defeating!" Lisa replied, resting her chin and staring at the Soto Ayam bu Karso banner above Andien.

"By the way, I want to tell you more. It\'s about my house ... " Lisa said.

"Just tell me, what\'s up now?�� Andien replied.

"So, I forgot to pay house tax until I got fined."

"Wow, that\'s crazy!" Andien\'s eyes widened.

"You know that Aditya took my savings away, right? This is true I\'m not feeling good, I want to ask you a favor...Umm... I want ..."

"Want to borrow money?" Andien asked briefly. She returned to sipping her drink. Lisa nodded, her eyes sparkling.

"About that Lis, it\'s not like I don\'t want to lend it but my own savings are also running low to pay for the monthly rent for the apartment."

"Geez, who else can I borrow from, Ndien?"

"Wait, why don\'t you just borrow from the President Director? I\'m sure he doesn\'t mind!"

"Ugh you talk so carelessly! I don\'t want to be indebted to Mr. Oscar as much as I can! Shame, I\'ll be embarrassed!"

"Aren\'t you his personal secretary? Isn\'t it easier this way?"

"Hus! Don\'t be harsh! We are still in the office area, if Karina hears this, it will get me dizzy!"

Without Lisa realizing it, Karina, who had been sitting and eating in the cafeteria, suddenly got up from her seat and approached the table where Lisa and Andien were chatting.

"I\'ve heard everything! It turns out that your life is getting miserable, isn\'t it !?"

Lisa turned and faced the figure of a woman in a striking pink dress and super heavy makeup with a sharp gaze. She got up from her chair and said, "You dog!"

The atmosphere of the canteen which had been busy, now suddenly got quiet. All the employees who were eating stopped their activities, looking towards Karina and Lisa. It seemed that the two women\'s fighting was more interesting to witness than to finish the food that was still left on their plates.

The fierce aura of the two women started to radiate and spread. Very stressful indeed!

"How dare— how dare you call me a dog!?" Karina puffed out her chest as her tone rose, "You are a dog! The mutt doesn\'t know itself, huh! Uh, it\'s clear dad is going to leave you! Dad must be lazy to have a peasant child like you!"

"Don\'t try with me, Karina! You think I\'m afraid to beat your old face!?" Lisa snapped with her fists ready to hit Karina.

"Uh, we\'re not on the same level, so fight with another country dog ​​like you, Lisa! It\'s such a great shame to have a step sister like you!"

"Can you just shut the fuck up? You know you don\'t have to disturb my life, Karina! What\'s the point in insulting someone who you say is low and pathetic like me!?"

"Hmmm, nothing except feeling satisfied, insulting you is like a mood booster for me!"

Lisa can\'t hold back her anger anymore. She clenched her fist and threw it at the woman covered in menor, but missed. Karina was very lucky.

"Lisa, stop it! It\'s a waste of time!" Andien blocked Lisa\'s body, which was preparing for the second attack.

"Look at you, Lisa! Are you a girl or a boy!? You like to use violence!" Karina sneered, looking at Lisa with the corner of her sly eye.

"Hey everyone, listen up! Lisa forgot to pay her house tax until she got fined! Now she shamelessly wants to borrow money! Ha ha ha ha!" Karina laughed proudly and continued her insult, "What a shameless mutt!"

"Stop Karina! How come you aren\'t tired of bothering your sister?" Andien replied to her.

"Tch! I don\'t want to have a lowly sister like Lisa!"

"Miss Karina, come with me to the President\'s room!"

Suddenly, Dani appeared from the doorway of the cafeteria. He walked steadily and grasped Karina\'s wrist roughly, pulling the woman out of the canteen.

"What the hell! What happened!? Hey mongrel! Our business is not finished!" The woman with the heavy make up pointed her index finger at Lisa\'s face.

Arriving at the President Director\'s room, Karina was dragged to face Oscar. The man\'s cold and gripping aura spread across the room. Her sharp gaze pierced deeply that made Karina\'s legs tremble.

"Miss Karina was appointed financial manager at the age of 23, just like Lisa. I read your track record that you are doing well, just like Lisa. But the striking difference between you and Lisa is..." The man got up from his chair, "Your heart is so rotten, it really doesn\'t suit your pretty face."

Karina just looked down in fear. Behind the handsome man\'s face, there was a deadly cold gaze. The man was standing right in front of her, their height difference greatly added to the man\'s cold aura that was getting stronger.

"Don\'t think I don\'t know that you bother Lisa a lot! I am surprised by you Karina. What do you get from pestering Lisa every day?"

The woman just didn\'t flinch. Her body trembled even more with fear.

"This is my last warning! If I see you still bothering my private secretary again, then you can immediately take your final salary!"

The man stood in front of Karina and bowed, matching her height with Karina\'s, "Do you understand Karina?"

Karina didn\'t dare to look at the man\'s face, it was unexpected that the man could be so scary! She just nodded in resignation.

"Go back to your room!" The man looked away and turned around, back into his chair.

The woman left the president\'s room with limp steps. The door closed without leaving the slightest sound.

Oscar took a deep breath while closing his eyes. Slowly, he exhaled and then opened his blue eyes that were as clear as the sky.

His thin fingers motioned Dani to come forward. The giant in the black coat took a steady step. He tilted his body slightly, bringing his ear closer to Oscar\'s face.

"Please tell me what happened in the canteen!"

The giant in the black coat cleared his throat, starting his conversation, "Sir, the story is that Miss Lisa is having a meal with Ms. Andien from the finance department. Then Miss Karina, who was already in the cafeteria, eavesdropped and started a scene. Almost all employees witnessed the commotion!"

Oscar scratched his chin curiously. He leaned back on the chair and leaned back casually. His golden hair glistened in the sun, "What are they really fighting about?"

"If I heard from Miss Karina\'s mouth, she said that Miss Lisa forgot to pay her house tax and got fined."

"Then?" Oscar asked briefly.

"Looks like Miss Lisa is in need of money, sir!"

Oscar was stunned at the last sentence from his personal assistant. Why didn\'t his private secretary tell him about his home taxes and financial problems?

The man got up from his chair. He turned around, approaching the window pane behind him. He squinted as he looked at the horizon through the thick glass. Occasionally, he looked up and then turned to face Dani.

"Please bring Lisa back to this room!"
