Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

After work, Lisa returned to the boarding house as usual. This time, she was accompanied by Andien. It had been a long time since the two friends had spoken and stayed at their respective residences. In the past, when they were still working in the same company, they always stopped by to spend the weekend at the Sky Lounge. 

"Speaking of Sky Lounge, how are Dimas doing? It's been a long time since we last visited there," Andien asked as she laid down on the decaying living room's sofa. She drank the beer she bought on her way to Lisa's boarding house.

"Oh my, I feel so left behind and I didn't keep up. Sometimes, Oscar  would come and demand his 'share' on weekends, so I didn't have time to go to the Sky Lounge," Lisa answered with a deep sigh, tired of her work at the office.

"You can invite Oscar to the Sky Lounge, he might as well pay for us, hehe," Andien replied casually. Her eyes narrowed and looked mischievous.

"Don't talk carelessly, Oscar is not your walking ATM!" Lisa asked irritably.

"Yeah, but you're his girlfriend now, maybe he needs to occasionally spoil you a little. There's nothing wrong with it. After all, he doesn't mind if you ask for money or goods, does he?" Andien said casually.

"I swear to god you really are....! Even though Oscar is my boyfriend, I still have to know my place! I don't want to be a gold digger like Clara, Ndien. I don't want to date a guy just for the sake of his money, never!" Lisa replied loudly. 

Her eyes were always directed to the ceiling whenever she heard Andien suggesting her to let herself be a little spoiled with Oscar. According to Andien, a woman should be a little spoiled, especially when they had a generous boyfriend or husband like Oscar.

The problem was that Lisa was used to living independently and not depending on others since she was little. That's why she didn't have the heart when she tricked Oscar three days ago by asking for a bunch of branded goods. But the man didn't grumble or complain, and instead he bought her everything she asked for. 

At exactly 6 in the afternoon, a loud male voice was heard from outside the boarding house. The man shouted Lisa's name.

Without thinking, Lisa immediately rushed to open the door and greeted him. A parcel courier like Oscar promised three days ago had come!

"Good afternoon, are you Lisa? Please sign here," said the courier, handing Lisa a paper and pen to sign. The man handed her two medium sized boxes and left.

From inside the boarding house, Andien peeked with extreme curiosity and then helped Lisa to bring the cardboard inside. She put the two medium sized boxes in the middle of the living room. Both Lisa and Andien stared at them for a moment.

"Lis, did you just order this from online shopping?" Andien asked curiously. Her eyes were bulging as if she had just found a large tuna fish from the sea.

"I didn't shop anything online, Ndien," Lisa said, still gawking at the two medium sized boxes. "Oscar gave me a present," she continued flatly and still gawking.

"You lucky bastard! Your life is really good! He bought a new gift, your boyfriend is really wonderful! Ah, when will I have a boyfriend, I only have two cats that I take care of! Aaaah," Andien exclaimed between being annoyed and happy to see her friend back to life.

Lisa was still standing there staring at the two boxes. She really did not expect that Oscar's promise three days ago would really be fulfilled. Even she didn't expect that man would buy her all the things she wanted. Right now, her heart was between happy and worried. She felt happy because the man kept his promise and passed the loyalty test, but at the same time felt worried that she had used his wealth at will.

Looking at her idling friend made Andien surprised. She snapped her fingers in front of Lisa's face and broke her best friend's reverie. "Lis, focus! You don't want to open them and find out the contents of these boxes?"

Without saying much, Lisa immediately ran to the kitchen and took the cutter and scissors. She slowly opened the cardboard that was taped tightly then stared at the contents with sparkling eyes.

"This is..." Andien said, looking dumbfounded at the sight.

"Gosh, Oscar is crazy...." Lisa replied, looking dumbfounded too.

She took out one of the dresses from the cardboard box and said, "This is the newest Sang Lorang  dress that I wanted, Ndien!!!!"

"Goddamnnn! He also bought you a Herves bag that I wanted! Aaaah, it's really good your life has returned to be good since you go back to Oscar. Don't regret it, never turn your back on the foreigner ever again!" Andien said casually in a relaxed tone.

Lisa immediately grabbed the cellphone and then called Oscar. For a moment, she heard the sound of a connected call and the call was picked up.

"Yes?" Oscar  answered from across with his flat voice.

"Oscar, what do you buy me for? There's so many of them it's crazy!" Lisa asked, still in disbelief at the gift she had just received.

"How about it? Do you like the gift? Sorry it must be bothersome to lift two boxes. I thought I wanted to buy you again but with a different brand and style. I hope you like them," Oscar replied casually.

"But Oscar! I'm not asking this much, after all, I was just kidding yesterday!" Lisa replied firmly.

"Take it easy, Lisa. Just think of it as a gift from me before the wedding," Oscar replied softly, this time his voice sounded very sexy and seductive.

Lisa was silent for a moment, her tongue went out as if her heart that she had been guarding for the man she had been waiting for was stolen. "Oscar, thank you. I really really thank you... "

"No problem. What do I get in return?" Oscar asked back from the other side. The intonation of his voice was naughty and provocative.

"Later when you return to the boarding house, I will give you a kiss as usual," Lisa  replied.

"Promise? Okay then, good night, Lisa. Sweet dreams," Oscar said before he ended the call.

Lisa returned the greeting then hung up on the call. She sighed and smiled happily. The man was very sweet!

Beside her, Andien was rummaging through the contents of the cardboard box and then looking at them with sparkling eyes. There were lots of bags and dresses as well as perfume in that cardboard that Andien really wanted. 

"Aaaah, you are very lucky, Lis! You get everything I want and I don't have," Andien complained as she lifted one of the expensive brand bags from cardboard.

"Ndien, if you want to take two, please take it. I also couldn't possibly save this much. Just take those two bags and two perfumes," Lisa said casually without any burden.

"Are you serious?" Andien asked to make sure while raising an eyebrow.

"I'm dead serious! How come you don't believe me, huh?" Lisa said, reaching into the contents of the box. She handed over one of the bags from the box which she thought was not good to Andien. "Here, just take this because I don't like the model,"

Andien received the bag that Lisa just handed over  to her with a happy face. Her eyes sparkled like a child receiving a Christmas gift. "Lis, I swear I don't know what to say other than thank you!"

After Lisa took out all the items from the boxes, Andien helped them sort them out. The cell phone in Andien's carrying case sounded so loud that it was deafening. With a heavy sigh, she took her cellphone and picked up the call.

Andien turned to Lisa and said, "Lis, I 'm sorry I have to go home now. My cat keeps on meowing, my neighbor complained about them,"

"Alright, you just go back to your apartment first. Tell me if you want to come here again later," Lisa replied casually.

Andien immediately said goodbye and went outside the fence. When she walked out, she found Oscar's figure approaching Lisa's boarding house. The two of them passed and greeted with hand gestures and bowed their heads.

"Good evening, Mr. Oscar, I'm leaving first," Andien politely greeted him. 

The man only nodded in return.

Oscar opened the gate and then entered Lisa's boarding house. He purposely didn't tell Lisa that he was going to visit since he wanted to make a surprise for her.

When Lisa was about to lock the gate, she found Oscar standing in the living room's doorway smiling. "Hello, don't you miss me?"

Lisa stared at the man for a long time, the expression in her face was caught between delight and surprise. 

"Oscar, you've come to my boarding house!"
