Chapter 554 - Successful Plan
Lisa waited in the queue for 10 minutes just to enter the toilet. She stood leaning her back against the wall and looked at the door with a sharp gaze. The woman looked like she was trying to see if Oscar was still standing right in front of the toilet door.
After letting out a sigh a few times, Lisa mustered her courage to come out. At first, she just opened the door slightly and peeked through the crack. When she didn't see anyone standing in front, she just walked out.
When she got back on the first floor and walked towards the table filled with liquor, Lisa still saw Robert standing alone. Of course she also hoped that he would leave her alone, but in fact, he was still waiting for her faithfully.
Lisa is not a stupid woman. She knew what Oscar had said was true. From the moment she was introduced to Robert, she knew something was wrong with the man. The vibe that the man gave off felt exactly the same as Surya.
Like a tiger trying to chase its prey.
Actually, Lisa didn't want to go back to that man. Just looking at his wrinkled face gave her goosebumps! She couldn't imagine what would happen if she had to linger with Robert. Most likely, she would throw up from drinking too much while chatting with him.
But remembering what Oscar said earlier in front of the toilet door made Lisa's blood skyrocket! She's going to prove to that man that she can take care of herself!
Having such thoughts made Lisa walk back towards Robert. With a sweet and very charming smile, she accepted the drink from the fat man's hand.
Lisa looks more excited to meet Robert now. The smile she threw at the man was wider and she always tried to open up a broad topic of conversation. In addition to trying to approach the man because the Better Life company will work with the company that Robert leads next month, she also wants to show Oscar that she is really interested in Robert.
Just like Lisa did earlier, Oscar visited the men's restroom before he returned to the first floor. Nobody knew how much tap water he used to wake himself up. Returning to the first floor, with slightly wet hair, Oscar was greeted by Indri's warm embrace.

"Oscar, here is an official I want to introduce you to—"
Even though Oscar was with Indri and trying to get to know the official better, his thoughts drifted far away to Lisa. If his face looked bright and a wide smile always graced his lips earlier, now the man's face looks somber. He was no longer trying to look friendly and happy to be here with Indri.
When the clock showed half past ten at night, Lisa just realized that she had consumed more liquor than usual. Her head felt dizzy and her stomach felt hot. And now, she just wanted to go home and hide under a thick blanket.
"Lisa, I finally found you again!" Maria greeted her in a cheerful tone. The woman stood next to Lisa and smiled at Robert, "Good evening Mr. Robert. I hope you have a nice time with Lisa?"
"Of course!" Robert replied cheerfully.
When Maria felt that Lisa had been silent all this time, she turned and smiled faintly. "Lisa, what's wrong with you? Are you alright?"
"I think I drank too much," Lisa put her glass on the table, "I'll excuse myself for a moment..."
"Do I need to accompany you?" Maria asked in a tone filled with friendliness. The woman looked worried and was getting ready to grab Lisa's arm.
But Lisa shook her head, "No need. I can go by myself."
Of course Maria wouldn't let Lisa out of her sight just like that. Even though she had said that she went to greet her old colleagues, Maria couldn't take her eyes off of Lisa and Robert. Often her eyes and Robert's met, exchanging meaningful glances.
So when Lisa excused herself to go to the toilet, the woman waited a few minutes beside Robert. Maria threw a faint smile at the man, "Wait a minute, sir. let me see Lisa for a second."
Robert cleared his throat and took a sip of red wine, "I'll wait here, okay? Don't take too long, Mrs. Maria, I'll get bored later!"
"Sir, take it easy. I'll bring Lisa back in a matter of minutes."
With careful steps, Maria followed Lisa from behind. From the first floor to the second floor, she tried not to make any noise. Fortunately, the floor covered by a black and gold-colored carpet managed to hide the sound of the clatter of her high heels.
When Maria saw Lisa enter the women's restroom, she frowned and chose to wait outside. It would be terrible if the woman notices her presence. She wouldn't let Lisa know that this is all her evil plan!
Lisa staggered to the sink and put her tote bag on the sink. She opened the faucet, looked down, and washed her face several times. If earlier her stomach felt hot, now her whole body feels burning!
It really felt so torturing.
She didn't know that consuming that much liquor could make her body burn. Is it because she hasn't consumed liquor in a long time until now her body is not used to it?
"So fucking annoying..." Lisa grumbled while looking at her reflection in the mirror.
She frowned when she couldn't see her face clearly from the mirror reflection. What really happened? Her body was already burning, and now her vision was blurry too?
Was she allergic to red wine earlier?
Lisa then started touching her forehead, cheeks and neck. The longer it was, the hotter her temperature felt. In that instant, Lisa decided that she wasn't feeling well. Maybe she had drunk too much liquor.
Luckily, tomorrow is Sunday and she can recover from this bad feeling…
Lisa hastily pulled out her cell phone from her purse and sent Maria a text message. With a blurred gaze and slightly trembling hands, the message she sent was not very clear.
Lisa
I'm satisfiiiiiiiied I want home go toooooo
Sending the short message, Lisa walked out of the toilet. A smile of relief began to grace her lips when she saw Maria's figure standing not far from her.
"Oh my, what happened to you?" Maria asked worriedly. She rushed over to Lisa and checked her temperature.
"My body doesn't feel good at all..."
Maria smiled widely and quickly put on a worried face again. "Geez! I'll take you to the nearest hotel so you can get some rest!"
