Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Clara snorted when she heard Lisa's statement. Her eyes were flashed with a great disbelief towards Lisa. "Hey, sounds like you lied to me again. Don't think that I don't know that you still have your heart for Oscar. I know that you were doing something with Oscar in the back garden earlier, right?"

Lisa was surprised, how did this demonic woman know that she and Oscar were alone in the park? What a wretched woman!

"Just so you know, your husband or boyfriend or whatever you call him— started it first! He came to me! You think I went to the back garden for what if not to avoid you!?" Lisa's burning anger began to make her look fiery. She pointed her index finger at Clara's nose with rage.

"You think I'll just believe it? You think I believe that my lover is seducing you on purpose? Oh please, I'm not as stupid as you think!" Clara replied condescendingly. The woman raised her head and laughed slyly.

"If you are as smart as you say you are, you should know that your boyfriend is a bitch!" Lisa firmly said.

She did not want to linger in the toilet any longer nor spend her time fighting with the devil who had hurt her in the past. Lisa thought that the night that was supposed to feel great, but it was completely ruined by this one bitch standing in front of her. If it weren't for Rangga, Lisa wouldn't have come to that grand birthday.

She pushed Clara so that the demonic woman almost fell and then came out of the toilet slamming the door.

Lisa then walked and returned to the VIP room. She saw Mrs. Wijaya was still circling around looking for dance contestants. She sat down and took a deep breath. 

When Rangga stole a glance at Lisa, he saw that his childhood friend's face looked grim and languid.

"Lis," Rangga softly asked. "Are you okay? Why did you take so long on the toilet?" The man looked worried. His hand grasped Lisa's shoulder sympathetically.

"Sorry, my stomach was a little uncomfortable earlier," Lisa said, lying.

"Do you want to go back? I mean, it's not good if you hold it out for too long," Rangga asked, he sounded so worried.

"No problem. It's not as painful as before. I can't let you leave for the show by yourself."

"Hey, don't be like that. If you're sick, it's better if we go home early. The important thing is I have greeted and even congratulated Mr. Wijaya and his wife, right?" Rangga casually said.

"Ugh I just feel so hungry, why hasn't the dinner been started yet?" Lisa briefly replied.

Hearing Lisa's statement which sounded steady and convincing, Rangga didn't worry anymore about taking her home early. The two sat while enjoying a glass of wine that had just been served by the waiter.

As long as they both sat and enjoyed wine, Mrs. Wijaya seemed to be still looking around for contestants. No one knew what made the old woman not immediately choose all the couples for the stage. Was it because Mrs. Wijaya is fickle? Or was it because they were old so their memory has begun to be disturbed so that it is difficult to recognize the faces of the hundreds or even thousands of visitors.

Without Lisa's guess, Clara was the first person selected as a contestant for the dance. The MC asked him to go on stage together with his partner. But when Clara pulled Oscar's hand to invite him to come up on stage, the man shook his head and refused.

Clara was forced to dance with another man chosen by Mrs. Wijaya. The two of them immediately went up on stage along with other contestants.

From the stage, Clara continued to stare at Lisa with a smug face and condescending looks. Lisa didn't look back, she looked away and let the demonic woman mock her with that condescending look on stage.

Lisa looked at Rangga next to her and then chatted and joked. Clara was annoyed to see Lisa who looked happy without a burden even though she had just been bullied. She felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if it was like a razor cut!

Not long after, the MC shouted into his microphone, "Let's start the dance competition! Give the contestants a big round of applause!" Suddenly, the sound of shouts and applause from the guests immediately became boisterous and thundering filled the VIP room.

  The spotlight was so dazzling that it gradually became dim and serene. All eyes were on the five contestants who began to gracefully step their feet.

Classical music began to fill the void of the VIP room. The smooth and soft music brought all the contestants to a deep calm. 

The five pairs of contestants danced on the stage with grace. Lisa thought that they all looked good together. 

Even though Lisa really hated Clara with passion, she had to admit that the demon woman was very good at dancing. Of the five contestants, only Clara looked the brightest and most flexible on the dance floor. Fortunately, the male partner who danced with her was also good at dancing.

Clara's long white dress added to the elegant and flawless impression of the evening. Her beautiful white face, smooth like a Korean artist, attracted the attention of many invitations, both men and women.

With just her physical perfection, that demonic woman was able to steal the attention of all the invitees in an instant! 

"Do you think which pair will win, huh?" A woman asked another woman sitting across from Lisa.

"Looks like that couple, the girl with the white dress and face looks like a Korean artist!" Her friend replied.

Hearing the two women sitting across from Lisa made her heart a little jealous of Clara's beauty. Lisa really couldn't understand why a woman with a perfect body like Clara still bothered the not-so-beautiful Lisa. 

Unfortunately, Clara's beauty could not cover her rottenness. On the other hand, Lisa was grateful that even though she was not as beautiful as Clara. She did not have bad intentions to harm others.

Rangga leaned back in and whispered to Lisa, "Lis, which do you think will be the winner? Who will be the winner?"

Lisa looked at the contestants on the stage blankly. Without realizing it, her eyes were on Clara again.

"It's definitely Clara, her dance moves are really good. Flexible, flowing."

Rangga looked at her in awe. "But she's your enemy, right?" The man idly asked.

"If she's my enemy, if she's really good at dancing then I have to say he's not good at dancing? Yes, she can't do that, right? That's not fair!" Lisa replied bluntly.

Even though Lisa was reluctant to admit Clara's greatness in dancing, she didn't want to lie and deny it. What's the difference between Lisa and Clara if she lied and denied?

Lisa's honest response made Rangga admire Lisa's figure even more. For a moment , he thought Lisa was very different from the way she used to be.

Lisa was not a woman who liked to deny reality even when she faces her own enemy. She wasn't a spoiled brat who's only after her family's wealth. Lisa was an honest, independent woman.

Ragga really appreciated Lisa's straightforwardness.. This also seemed to make Rangga even more interested in Lisa that night.
