Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Clara's first day working in the finance department didn't run very smoothly. She had never worked for a large company before. On the first day, she often overslept on her desk and typed slowly. In fact, she often got scolded by Damar, the head of the finance department.

"What is this, Clara!? How come you report the financial data that has been recapitulated to me!? Do your job properly, please! I know it's your first day, but come on!" Damar was standing in front of his desk with his arms folded and forehead creased. Clara was still sleepy at her desk, she just nodded languidly hoping that Damar would get out of her desk soon.

From behind her desk, Andien quietly watched all of Clara's movements and gestures. It turned out that Clara was not what she seemed from the outside! She looked smart and highly educated but it turned out she was incredibly lousy in doing her job!

Andien knew very well that the woman who occupied Lisa's chair now was the same woman who tried to snatch Oscar from Lisa. Andien still couldn't forget the evil thing Clara had committed against Lisa in front of their colleagues. Now that evil woman was her co-worker! And to make matters worse, she was utterly incompetent!

Seeing Clara's poor performance on the first day made Andien itch to reprimand her. Andien got up from her chair, approached the woman with a face like a model and said, "Hey, Clara, listen, I know you can come into this office because of Oscar. But please! Do your job! The finance department is not a place to relax. You don't even fit into Lisa's chair right now. She is clearly more competent on her first day than you!"

The sentence that Andien just said was much harsher and painful than Damar's. Comparing Clara to Lisa? It sure hurt Clara a lot. The woman with red lips glared sharply at Andien. Even though her face was not very expressive, Andien could feel the anger radiating from Clara's gaze. Andien poured salt to Clara's wound by comparing her to Lisa.

"Don't think that just because you are Oscar's ex you can work in this company as you wish! We have integrity, we have rules! Fix your attitude Clara!"

"Oh, so you'd prefer to defend the bitch who stole my boyfriend?" Clara asked softly but sharply.

"Clara! This has nothing to do with your love affair! In fact, when Lisa was still in the finance department and as manager, her performance was much better than yours. You should be ashamed of yourself!"

When the two women were fighting, Oscar suddenly crossed the corridor in front of the finance department and stopped while staring at the two of them.

Clara shifted her gaze and exchanged glances with Oscar. Clara suddenly felt cheerful again when the woman saw a tall, slender figure clad in an elegant black coat standing looking at her.

Oscar was the spirit of her life. Clara was determined to do whatever it took to win Oscar's favor so that he would fall for her a second time. Clara rose from her chair, ignored Andien and approached Oscar with flirtatious steps.

"Oh my God Oscar! Good thing you are here! I miss you very much dear…"

Oscar lowered his head and stared at Clara. The man gave her a cold glare. "Call me Mr. Oscar, remember we're in the office!"

"I'm sorry Oscar but my first day working here was really tough!" Clara pretentiously said, acting spoiled. Her hand grasped Oscar's coquettishly.

Oscar and Clara began talking in front of the finance department's room. The employees of the department instantly turned their gaze to watch them chatting. It seemed that the two of them had met before and were very close. Seeing Clara's flirtatious gestures in front of Oscar,made the man with the cold attitude become a little lenient as the woman seduced him.

"Let's see what the boss is doing with the new employee," One of the employees said.

"I don't know. Maybe she's his sister?"

"No, it's impossible. Look at them, holding hands like that!"

"But isn't this new employee really beautiful? She matches Mr. Oscar well. Compared to Lisa, I mean hehe!" The other employees said.

Another employee joined in the conversation. "I heard that Lisa doesn't work here anymore because she's pregnant with the boss' child?"

"You're right. What if Lisa married him because she was pregnant first?"

"Yeah, she didn't tell us that she's married. Bet it's a shotgun marriage since the boss knocked her up first!"

"Ugh, it's clear Lisa only wants Oscar because of his money! What's more, he's a foreigner, isn't he?"

From behind her desk, Andien overheard the unimportant chatter of her colleagues. She was annoyed that her co-workers began to badmouth Lisa and her relationship with Oscar. Not to mention it was still working hours!

"Hey you! Why don't you come back to work again? This deficiency report won't end if you are still standing at the door gossiping about Lisa and Clara!" Andien said aloud.

"Come on, Ndien, relax a little. She's a new employee in our department, how come she's really close to the boss!" One of them replied.

"Yeah, just relax. Besides, what we talked about really happened, right? Didn't Lisa leave Petersson Communication because she married the boss?"

Andien really wanted to slap them but she couldn't do it. Office regulations said all employees should not get involved in fistfights or their monthly salary would be reduced by 50%. If there was bloodshed, they would be immediately fired from the company!

"You all are busy talking about Lisa's flaws and admiring the beauty of our new employee. You better go back to your desks and continue your work! Don't waste your time!"

The situation in the finance department subsided again when the head of the finance department, Damar, came and told Clara to come in and go back to work. The man also ordered all the employees gossiping in the doorway to return to their seats.

***

After office hours, Andien accidentally caught Oscar and Clara out of the building together. The two of them walked into the parking lot and Clara came home with Oscar in his black Alphard!

Andien's heart felt stirred at the unexpected sight! She called Lisa right at that second but she wasn't immediately answered. Andien must tell Lisa about this. She witnessed her best friend's husband having an affair with another woman!

Andien ran to the side of the sidewalk and waved at the taxi. If Lisa couldn't be reached by phone, then she had to tell her in person!
