Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

The next day, Lisa woke up with a headache and eye bags that were getting thicker. Although it was sunny outside the window and some birds were singing above the tree trunks, the woman's feelings were gray.

Yesterday, she heard shocking news from her close friend. All night long, she couldn't stop listening to Andien's sobs that kept ringing in her ears. What caused her friend to get married this fast?

Lisa didn't have time to sleep long. Maybe she only had 2 hours of sleep. Every time she closed her eyes, she heard Andien's sobs that could pierce her heart. Her mind couldn't stop thinking about the possibilities that resulted in her having to get married.

Andien's chances of getting pregnant out of wedlock are very small. She strictly adheres to the words no sex before marriage. 

So what? What made Andien have to rush to get married?

Luckily, Lisa wasn't working yet so she didn't have to worry about her messy looking appearance. 

The day goes by slowly. The insurance company said they would contact her in less than 2 days, but it had yet to come. It's been a week now since she's interviewed at the company. Her hopes of getting a job soon slowly disappeared. Maybe, now is the right time to apply for a job elsewhere.

Honestly, Lisa really wanted to spend time with William, her only son. She wanted to go to Oscar's residence and take the boy with her. At least, if William stayed with her for two days, it would be enough to get rid of the feeling of homesickness in her.

But sadly, Lisa couldn't do that.

Now she lives in Vira's apartment, her classmate who doesn't know that she already has children. The woman could not imagine what would happen if she suddenly brought William home with her and told Vira that the boy was her biological child.

Vira could have fainted when she heard the news, it would be an unexpected news for sure!

It wasn't because they weren't that close that Lisa didn't tell Vira about her life now. She just doesn't know where to start, and she's also too lazy to explain at length to other people. Especially considering Vira's thirst for gossip. Perhaps the questions that Vira will ask can make her eardrums hurt.

Now she just needs to focus on hunting for a new job that earns sufficient income. After that, Lisa will save so she can rent an apartment like Vira or Andien. 

According to her, it is better for her to pay dearly for renting an apartment than having to live in a boarding house. She doesn't mean to be arrogant, it's just that in Indonesia, having children without a life partner is considered a shame. Not to mention that her son looks like a Caucasian. She could be considered pregnant for selling herself!

Finally, rather than waiting languidly, Lisa decided to grant her own wish. At least, if she misses her son, she can contact William via Oscar's cell phone.

That afternoon, after Lisa washed all the dishes that had piled up, her cell phone on the table vibrated. At first, the woman thought that a message had come in. But over time, the cellphone didn't stop vibrating, and she was sure that soon it would fall down.

Lisa took off the green rubber gloves while frowning. Who decided to contact her on a quiet afternoon like this?

"Yes, hello?"

"Good afternoon, is this really Miss Lisa? I'm Aaron Danindra, head of personnel at Better Life. Based on your interview and the CV you sent, I am happy to inform you that we have accepted your application. Tomorrow, please come at 9 am and meet me at the office!"

Hearing that made Lisa stunned. She tried to digest what the head of personnel at the company she was applying for said. Just this afternoon, she thought about submitting a job application at another company.

She's so grateful!

At least, luck was still on her side!

"Thank you! I will come on time tomorrow. Once again, thank you!"

"You're welcome, Miss Lisa. See you tomorrow morning!"

After their phone connection was cut off, Lisa felt her body being electrified! She immediately ran away from the pile of dirty dishes and entered her room. In fact, the woman wasn't sure that she would be accepted by the Better Life insurance company. 

Of the many companies she went to for interviews, Lisa would never have thought that she would be accepted at that one company!

Finally, Lisa learned about the company that had contacted her all night long. Starting from the origin, the year it was built to the inspirational story of the CEO at the Better Life company.

According to several articles that Lisa read, the CEO of Better Life is the second richest man in Indonesia! Not only in Jakarta or Surabaya, but Indonesia!

Well, even though no one can match Oscar's wealth—

"What are you thinking about?!" Lisa grumbled to herself as she played her thumb on the screen of her cellphone.

Around 11 pm, the woman turned off her cell phone because she didn't want to be late on her first day of work. She charged her cellphone which was only 10 percent left and then hurriedly covered her body with a thick blanket.

Hopefully, her life will get better with her working at the Better Life company.

In the morning, Lisa was awakened by the sunlight coming through her bedroom's window. When she came out of the room, the woman saw that the door to the room opposite her was still tightly closed. 

Lisa glanced at the clock on the wall above the TV and realized that it was half past seven in the morning. With light steps, she walked to the pantry and started making breakfast for her and Vira.

Actually, she just spread the strawberry jam on the white bread.

Honestly, Lisa was completely unprepared to start working at Better Life. For some reason, ever since she opened her eyes, there was a feeling that seemed to say that today was going to end badly. But the woman chose to ignore all her bad thoughts and get ready.

Finished putting a light powder on her face, Lisa returned to practicing facial expressions  which she would later show to all employees she would meet. She saw a faint smile but looked full of enthusiasm and also friendly eyes in front of the mirror.

Today, she wore a blazer and mocca brown culottes which she mixed and matched with a plain black t-shirt. The woman immediately took the high heels that she had prepared last night and put them on.

For employees who are just about to start work, Lisa comes quite early. Around half past nine she was sitting pretty in front of the reception desk, waiting for Aaron who said would come to see her in less than 10 minutes.

"Miss Lisa?"

Suddenly, a deep voice called out to her from behind. The man, Aaron Danindra, had a tall stature. His black hair is short and neatly styled with hair gel is his main attraction. His eyebrows are thick, his facial lines look firm and his eyes look friendly.

Lisa stood up from the light red soft chair. "Yes?"

Ten minutes later, Aaron and Lisa were standing in front of the closed wooden door. The office atmosphere was warm, and although Lisa could be considered a new person there, she was treated in a friendly manner. But that was only done by the security guard and Aaron.

Several employees that Lisa passed pretended not to look at her and immediately walked faster. 

Strange indeed, but at least she got a job at this company.

"Miss Lisa, this is the office of Mr. Surya, the head of administration, which means he is your direct supervisor. He's already inside and waiting for you from earlier. You can come in now."
