Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO’s Plaything - Chapter 755

The clock on Oscar’s dashboard showed 12 noon when the car stopped in front of the office building where Lisa worked. Since the woman was sure that almost all of the Better Life company employees were out for lunch, she asked Oscar to stop quite a distance from the entrance.

Lisa and Oscar had an agreement to tell the whole world that they had a special relationship when they got married again. At first, Oscar didn’t agree, but over time, he realized that nothing could change Lisa’s wishes.

In the end, Oscar could not help but agree to the woman’s request.

“Should I pick you up later?” Oscar asked quietly.

Lisa unbuckled her seatbelt. “Let’s see, maybe I’ll let you know later. I’m going first, thank you for taking me.”

“Alright, be careful.”

After a long break, from Friday to Sunday and now that she’s half a day in, Lisa knows that there’s a lot of work waiting for her at the office. Dozens of documents that required her signature must’ve piled up on her desk.

Lisa doesn’t say much and tries to finish her work with the remaining time. Maybe today she will work overtime, to make up for the days she missed.

While Lisa was busy rereading one of the documents, she suddenly remembered something. Last week, like other weeks, Cicilia worked on the company’s financial statements. Usually, the woman sends financial reports to her email every Saturday.

Lisa immediately rushed to open her email and continued to reload the page. At first, she thought that Cicilia’s email would go to the spam section, but Lisa didn’t see the woman’s email either. The last email that Cicilia sent was the company’s financial statements 2 weeks ago.

Did Cicilia forget to send her the financial statements last week?

After making sure there was no email from Cicilia, the woman contacted Cicilia via the office phone.

“Hello, Cicilia?”

“Good afternoon ma’am, is there anything I can help you with?” Cicilia’s voice on the other end of the line sounded anxious.

“Please come to my office for a moment.”

Without waiting for a reply from Cicilia, Lisa had turned off their phone. Not long after, she heard a knock on the door and in the next second Cicilia came in with a piece of paper and a pen.

“What’s wrong, Miss Lisa?” Cicilia asked while closing the door to Lisa’s room.

“Why haven’t you emailed me last week’s financial report?”

For a while, Cicilia did not answer Lisa’s question. Then, in the next minute, a fake smile began to grace her lips.

“Oh that.. Ah, I forgot to do the financial report last week… Lately I’ve been busy preparing for the company’s celebration next month. But I can do it now! I can send it to Mrs. Lisa’s email before 3 pm.”

Hearing Cicilia’s reasoning made Lisa raise her eyebrows, “Next month’s celebration? Why didn’t I know anything about the celebration?”

“Oh yes, Mrs. Lisa hasn’t come to work for 2 days, so it’s only natural that Mrs. Lisa doesn’t know,” Cicilia sneered. “Next month is the 20 year anniversary of the Better Life company. In addition, we also heard that the wife of the CEO has just given birth to a handsome baby boy. That’s why, apart from holding a party celebrating the company’s anniversary, we are also planning to hold a surprise party for the birth of the CEO’s son.”

Of course Lisa was surprised after hearing Cicilia’s answer. She’s been with Better Life for a long time and she’s leading the Finance Division now, but why hasn’t anyone told her anything?

Lisa kept silent while looking at Cicilia’s face in disbelief. The woman who was still standing in front of her desk glanced at the clock on the wall and said, “Then, I’ll take my leave first. I still have to work on last week’s financial reports while preparing for next month’s party.”

Lisa nodded her head slowly. “Oh yes, yes…”

When Cicilia was not in her room, Lisa leaned her back on the back of the chair. She tried to digest her answer again.

As far as Lisa knows, the CEO of this company is over 50 years old, and the man will retire soon. How come the man’s wife just gave birth to a boy? Was there something wrong with the information she got earlier?

Lisa is not a stupid woman, she can already guess that the wife of the CEO of the Better Life company is still young. That’s why the woman was still able to give birth to a healthy boy.

Otherwise, if she’s at the same age as the CEO, how come she could conceive and give birth to a baby?

Just when Lisa was busy thinking about who the CEO of this company was and how old the man’s wife was, suddenly she heard her cell phone ringing. She immediately straightened her back and took her cell phone out of her tote bag. Since she was too busy with her work, she forgot to take out her cell phone.

Lisa unlocked her phone and saw several incoming messages from Oscar.

Oscar:

Lisa, we forgot to have lunch together this afternoon.

It’s half past two, don’t forget to buy some healthy food.

Don’t get sick because you’re late.

Can I pick you up at 4 or 5 pm so we can eat together? I haven’t eaten either.

A wide smile began to grace her lips when she read Oscar’s message. All thoughts and feelings of annoyance just disappeared when she read several incoming messages the man sent her.

At first, Lisa didn’t feel hungry at all, but when she read Oscar’s message, her stomach immediately churned.

Lisa:

Ok, pick me up at 4 pm

I will try to finish my work before 4 pm

Since her work is still piling up and she is too lazy to go out, Lisa decided to go to the pantry for a while and brew some hot tea. She didn’t forget to also make jam buns. At times like this, Lisa regrets that she never keeps snacks in her office.

As Lisa returned to her study, she heard her cell phone ringing again. Thinking that Oscar would call and maybe ask what she had lunch with, Lisa rushed to get her cell phone.

Instead of Oscar’s name appearing on the screen, it was a foreign number she had never seen before.

At first, Lisa was too lazy to receive a phone call from that foreign number. But the woman was afraid that it was an important matter and whoever called had an urgent matter with her.

Having such thoughts made Lisa press the green button on her screen.

“Good afternoon. I’m Lisa, can I help you?” Lisa greeted the caller. The woman sat back in her work chair and took a sip of the hot tea she just made.

“And I am Oscar’s mother..” Greta’s voice sounded harsh from the other end of the call, “Wait for me, we’ll have lunch together.”
