Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 317 - Hidden Agenda



"Please bring this food to room 605," said the cook at the hotel restaurant while handing Lisa a tray.

She took the tray with a lazy, annoyed face. Her working hours as a hotel waitress were over, she should have arrived at the boarding house and laid down her aching body from working all day and being bullied by the crazy duo.

However, just as she didn't want to destroy Putri's reputation with her actions, Lisa had to take orders from her manager with a heavy heart.

When Lisa went up to the 6th floor, she cursed both Karina and Veronica as rotten! The two of them deliberately bullied her for fun. Lisa wondered why the two snakes still bothered her. Lisa really didn't want to talk or even meet her former stepmother and stepsister forever.

She knocked on the door, then Karina opened it and gave Lisa a condescending look. Lisa handed over the tray containing their order and said, "Good evening, this is the order. Enjoy it," she said, trying to be polite though she actually didn't want to.

Karina glanced at the tray with a look of disgust. She crossed her arms, pointing at the tray with her index finger. "I won't be full if I just eat that, stupid. I want to order another fried rice, with chicken noodles, also satay. Hurry up! If you take too long, I will complain to your manager!"

Hearing Karina's words just now absolutely made Lisa's rage boil even more. The woman had the heart to prevent her from leaving early, and now she threatened her. If it weren't for helping Putri, Lisa would have beaten Karina and then stopped working as a waitress at the hotel!

"Fine, I will be back soon. But where do I put this tray?" Lisa said, handing over the tray containing the food that had been ordered before.

Karina grabbed the tray containing two chicken rice curtly and said, "Don't take too long! Do your job properly!"

Then she slammed the door right in front of Lisa's face.

Lisa could only clench her fists as she cursed the bloody annoying snake and wished she could've bashed her head with the tray. Her body was getting tired from working too long all day. Not to mention that she had to go down to the ground floor and return to the restaurant to order the extra food Karina had just asked for. 

It's really unlucky today, Lisa thought.

She repeatedly regretted her decision to help Putri. She felt like a fool, but she could not bear to see Putri lying weakly from overworking and losing her salary due to her illness. Her family really needed money, so if she didn't work for just three days, it would reduce her salary by almost half.

About half an hour later, Lisa returned to room 605 with the food ordered by Karina. During the trip from the basement to the 6th floor, Lisa went back and forth to curse Karina and Veronica for making fun of her.

"You crazy duo! Do you think I am happy working to replace Putri like this? If it weren't for pitying her, I would never do something like this!"

As the knock sounded, someone from behind the door of room 605 was waiting for Lisa to arrive with a tray in her hands.

"Good evening, this is the additional order. Fried rice, chicken noodles, and satay," said Lisa dryly and reluctantly.

However, inwardly she sneered, 'Isn't it crazy that Karina and Veronica are eating like a pig? How come two plates of chicken rice aren't enough for dinner!?'

"To be honest, I was waiting a bit too long earlier. But it's okay, sorry for the trouble this time. Here is a tip for you!" Karina said, handing Lisa a twenty thousand rupiah note.

Without saying much or showing any strange expressions, Lisa accepted the small tip and said, "Thank you, enjoy your meals."

In her heart, Lisa said again, 'Hey, you are so stingy that people only tip this much! What a poser! They said Veronica is rich but it turns out they're broke!'

Lisa was about to turn her body around, ready to leave room 605. However, the two demon incarnations asked for something strange again. Lisa was trying to ignore them, but Veronica ran up and grabbed her shoulder. "Wait!"

Lisa sighed in annoyance, she turned her body back to look at Veronica's unsightly face. "What else do you need?"

"Lisa, thank you very much for doing your job well today. We both want to apologize for the incident this morning. Forgive me and my child, we were really wrong," said Veronica with a pathetic face and voice that sounded innocent.

Hearing that Veronica suddenly became very kind and friendly made her confused and suspicious half to death. This morning, both Veronica and Karina mocked Lisa for working as a waitress though she was only doing it as a replacement. Tonight, Veronica suddenly became very kind and friendly as if nothing had happened. This wicked woman surely plotted something to harm Lisa. 

Without Lisa realizing it, the hair on her neck was standing as she was shuddering in horror. Her hunch said that something was wrong with the two demon incarnations.

"If there's nothing you want, I'll go home. It's past my working time, I should've finished earlier," said Lisa flatly as she tried to maintain her politeness.

"Wait a minute, Karina and I feel a bit lonely and no one helps here. We both don't know anything about Bekasi, so we don't want to go out at night like this to find anything entertaining. We used to be family, so how about you accompany us to eat together tonight?" Veronica asked, speaking as if Lisa was her favorite child.

'Strange, she sounds really weird. There must be something behind what Veronica said,' Lisa thought.

"Sorry but I have to go back home. Thank you very much, please excuse me first."

When Lisa turned around again, Karina pulled her arm into the room. She suddenly knelt down and held Lisa's legs while pretending to beg and said, "I'm sorry, please forgive me, Lisa! You know, both of us are already sorry, so please stay and eat with us as a sign of forgiveness."

'Did Karina just apologize to me like this? Am I not seeing it wrong?' Lisa said to herself, looking both confused and suspicious.

Lisa clearly suspected the two demon incarnations for hiding something. It was impossible for Veronica and Karina to genuinely apologize to her. Impossible! 

"I'm sorry, but I can't believe your apologies. You are nothing but evil, why should I care about  what you two want? It's a waste of my time!" Lisa said firmly. 

"Come on, Lisa! Just tonight! Let's have our dinner together! Please, I beg of you…" Karina whined while shedding her crocodile tears.

"Come on, if you don't wanna have dinner, at least let's just drink wine tonight. I've brought wine from Jakarta for a party. It's a shame if you don't celebrate with us!" Veronica added pitifully, trying to convince Lisa to stay and eat with them.

Unable to stand to see the two of them whining in front of her like slaves begging their master, Lisa then relented. Besides, there was nothing wrong with eating together. Still, Veronica and Karina's invitation was very suspicious.

Lisa lowered her head and agreed. "Fine, but just one glass of wine and then I'll go home."

The two demon incarnations then let off Lisa's legs and got up. They stared at each other, their faces gleaming like someone who had just won a lottery.

"Thank you so much, Lisa! I'm glad you are willing to take the time to eat and drink together with us," Veronica replied kindly.
