Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO’s Plaything

"If a man gives me a poetic love letter like that, Lis, I'll definitely accept his marriage proposal. Lisa! Don't wait for too long!" Andien exclaimed excitedly. Her eyes sparkled with joy.

"Look at you! You got single so fast every time you tried to start a relationship." Lisa replied mischievously.

"You jerk! Ah, you're getting more and more beautiful every day, I'm sure that many are queuing up to propose to you! Trust me. In the future, you will marry a handsome, rich, exorbitant man!" Andien waved her hand in the air as if she was painting a rainbow.

"You're being so extra, there's no way it can happen easily. Anyway, do you think that men try to chase me after I change my appearance?"

"Yes, try to pay attention. You've almost looked like a real Korean idol now. The difference is your skin isn't as pale. But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that you are still beautiful. Unlike me, I can't help it, I just can't change my appearance no matter how much effort I put into it," Andien said languidly. She lowered her head with a sigh.

"Hey, don't say that. You are beautiful too. Even if you have a thin and skinny body, if you are pretty on the inside, you're still beautiful. One more thing that you need to remember, you don't need to be extraordinarily beautiful like a famous artist. As long as you're kind, I'm sure the right guy will come to you. Remember Clara, she's beautiful, tall and has fair skin, but her heart is so rotten!"

"Ah, that's right. Duh, what about it? Sometimes I don't feel very confident. Other women are looking pretty and cool. While I? I'm like this..."

Lisa got up from her seat and tapped Andien's shoulder firmly. "True love does not look at the physical, property, and throne alone. Be sure of this!"

Hearing her friend's advice relieved Andien's heart. She should be grateful for what she had up to now. Matchmaking wasn't always good, so Andien could just rest easy and live her moment.

"The important thing is to pray and hope for the best, Ndien," Lisa added and then hugged Andien.

Two days later, after she felt satisfied spending her time with Lisa in Bekasi, it was time for Andien to return to her new office in Jakarta. Before she returned there, she had breakfast with Lisa.

After breakfast, the two friends parted ways while leaving each other with the best prayers for their lives in the future.

This morning, Lisa was not wearing the Korean-style dress she bought the other day. She felt uncomfortable being stared at by the many eyes of male employees at the Cendana hotel. It felt strange, even though the casual dress she was wearing did not attract lust. Lisa also didn't want to make other female employees in the finance department jealous of her. Instead of drawing attention again like in the past two days, she decided to go back to wearing her boring shirt and trousers.

While struggling with unfinished financial reports, Lisa suddenly remembered a pink letter she found in her tote bag. During her time in her new office in Bekasi, she had not met, let alone conversed with other male employees.

So far, the man on top of her suspect list was Johan. He was the only male employee who worked in the same finance department as her. However, Lisa didn't want to conclude rashly before she gathered a lot of evidence.

If it was true that the man who sent the very poetic and long love letter was Johan, Lisa couldn't stop thinking. How old-fashioned and unattractive was the way this man expressed his love? It was as if they were living in WWII, Lisa thought.

All day long, Lisa watched Johan across her desk while working on her reports. Her eyes glanced at the man occasionally.

Lisa was afraid that her guess was wrong so she didn't want to make it obvious that she was paying attention to Johan as the man was struggling with his job. She had to keep waiting until finally the man she suspected showed an unusual gesture.

During the whole day, Lisa did not find any suspicious movements from Johan. It seemed that she was overreacting.

When Lisa was about to leave the hotel where she worked, her cellphone rang. She picked up the call quickly.

"Hello?"

"Sis Lisa! It's me, Vira."

Lisa was surprised to hear Vira's voice that she had not heard for a long time. "Oh my, Vira, how are you !? Why haven't you sent me any news?'

"I want to give you good news, Sis! Sister Riani was finally fired!"

Hearing this good news made Lisa feel like she wanted to jump for joy.

"Crazy! Tell me how it happened!" Lisa then returned to the lobby and looked for a seat to listen to Vira's story. She couldn't miss this moment!

"Sister Riani is suspected of cheating. Looks like she's deliberately using the company 's money for personal gain. Other employees initially did not suspect her, they did not know because they were scared of her and that she wasn't caught during the act. But I've been suspicious from the start and I'm not afraid of her. So I tried to catch her and gather all the supporting evidence. Finally, she was found to have used company money to buy personal items. I immediately reported it to Mr. Rangga and he fired her in no time."

Lisa was thinking for a moment as she tried to portray the look on that woman's face when she got fired. But she was relieved, that damn hag from Rangga's office was finally kicked out. In this way, Vira could work comfortably and breathe freely.

"Great, I'm so glad to hear this! I salute your courage to report her! Keep going, Vir!" Lisa said in an excited tone as she encouraged Vira.

"Yes. I just want to tell you that. Sorry if I disturb you. I know that this is not important, but it's really exciting to finally see Riani out! I saw her face when she was scolded by Mr. Rangga, you know! She kept crying like crazy."

"Hey, just relax, don't forget to keep me up with the interesting stories, Vir. Damn I miss talking to you! "

"You too! Keep up your spirit, sister!"

Then the call was closed. Lisa put her cellphone inside her tote bag again and continued her steps out of the Cendana hotel.

When she reached the exit, she ran into a familiar man. He looked ordinary but his eyes flashed like a lonely person wanting to find a partner.

"Hello Lisa, have you read the letter I gave you?"
