Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Lisa tries to ignore the hurtful accusations that come out of Maria's lips. It's clear that the type of man she likes is not a man who already has a life partner! What actually happened was that those men liked her, not the other way around.

"Maria, Mr. Surya and I had nothing to do except being the superior and the ordinary employee!" Lisa defended herself, slightly raising her voice.

Maria rolled her eyes, "I know your hobby is to ruin other people's relationships. No need to deny it this hard."

At that very second, Lisa was fed up with having further quarrels with Maria. She's wasting her time. The woman just sighed, showing that she was giving up, then turned around and wanted to get out. But again, she heard Maria's voice behind her.

"Lisa Soewandi, I haven't finished talking yet! You need to remember that I am now your boss, which means you have to respect me and wait for me to tell you to leave before you can leave! Do you want me to write a dismissal letter for you right now?" 

Without turning around, Lisa lowered her hand from the doorknob. She laughed with satisfaction in her heart. It turns out that Maria Damayanti, the woman she used to admire because she was rich at a young age and worked according to her passion, can now only threaten her with her so-called status as a powerful boss. As the woman said earlier, she really is shameless.

At the same time, when Lisa was cursing Maria in her heart, the new manager opened her mouth again. "Lisa, don't you want to know how much of a slut you look like in my eyes? I know that Rangga and I were not compatible and at that time, I took my anger out on you. And just so you know, I'm a professional! I will not bring my personal matters to work."

"So take it easy, I'm not going to make a fuss with you just because I once hated you. This company still needs you, so please don't resign today!" 

If the President Director of Better Life found out that Lisa left on the day Maria was appointed as Manager in the Finance division, her life could end! Lisa is a good employee whose performance never disappoints, there's no way she'd suddenly resign after leaving Maria's room. If that were to happen, Maria would lose her good name!

After the pleading tone escaped the woman's lips, Lisa immediately turned around. In the previous minute, she had wanted to resign because of the presence of that woman who might disturb her life. But on second thought, she wouldn't just give up. Lisa still has her pride that she has to protect!

"Did I ever say that I wanted to resign? I didn't. Don't just jump to conclusions right away!" 

Hearing that made Maria's heart lighten up. Her good name will be lost if Lisa resigns with no apparent reason, and she will lose the opportunity to finish her off with her bare hands. She didn't sleep for a few days just to search for the place where Lisa worked. Would she throw away her effort and let Lisa leave the company? Hell no!

Maria opened her desk drawer and took out a stack of papers neatly tucked away in a folder. The woman then slammed the stack of papers on the table and saw the look on Lisa's face with a flat face.

"Well it's good if you don't give up right away before trying. Here," Maria pushed the folder to the end of her desk, "There is an important document of a major project that Surya may have told you about. No one in this company seemed capable of handling such a huge project. And I think you are someone I can trust to work on that one."

Lisa listened to Maria's long explanation with an empty heart. Why would she choose Lisa to do it? Did that woman really want her fired from this company?

If someone were to overhear their conversation, they might think that Maria really appreciated Lisa's effort and entrusted her with the project. But Lisa already knew very well that Maria was using such a clean and tidy way to make her suffer! It was certain that the woman wanted to see her live in misery.

Lisa could have refused to work on the project, in order to keep her position at the Better Life company. But if she didn't accept the offer, perhaps Maria wouldn't stop bothering her and instead gave her a much bigger and more difficult project.

Having such thoughts made Lisa walk over to Maria's table. She picked up the pile of papers she said were important documents and nodded her head steadfastly.

"Mrs. Maria, thank you for entrusting this great project to me. I will try to complete it without the slightest error."

Nonsense. Of course it's all bullshit. Which big project doesn't have an error? But even if she will face problems in that big project one day, she will not tell Maria. Her self-worth is more important.

"Yeah, you're welcome. Please don't disappoint me," Maria said while smiling a smile that seemed to mock her. The woman then turned back in her chair and looked at the large window again. "Ah, I forgot to tell you. Mrs. Indri said that this project is important and must be done as soon as possible. So you better tell me your plans for this week. Don't disappoint me and Mrs. Indri!"

'Of course Indri has to go along with this kind of big project,' Lisa muttered to herself.

"Okay, I'll try my best."

Lisa then came out of the cold room with a pile of papers and a heart filled with anger. Who would have thought that the demonic woman was now her boss?!

Lisa already was well aware of why Maria had chosen her to work on that big project. Of course she wanted to see her suffer and worse, she wanted to see her fired and humiliated in public. How could Maria hand over the big project to her, an ordinary employee who still worked at the company for 3 months?

There are many other employees who'd served longer than her, like Aaron or Cicilia who are much better than her and have worked at the Better Life company for several years. But why did Maria choose her to take over the big project?

Of course to destroy her.
