Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

When she got home, Lisa looked for Oscar but she could not see the man's nose at all. Mrs. Rusminah, who happened to be sweeping the floor in the living room then greeted Lisa as usual.

"Is Oscar not home yet?" Lisa asked a little worriedly to Mrs. Rusminah.

"Mr. Oscar hasn't come home yet, Miss Lisa. Maybe he will be back after midnight again like yesterday!" The household assistant politely and softly replied. "I was only ordered by him to look after Miss Lisa while he's not home yet."

Lisa went upstairs languidly. It looked like this was a bad sign. Lisa really missed her husband since the man recently came home after midnight and said that it was because of his work. But Lisa started to suspect something behind her husband lately.

That night, Lisa couldn't sleep well. She stared at the ceiling of her room with a blank gaze. Her mind wandered. There were only two people who haunted her sleep— Oscar and Clara.

'Oscar only loves me, he only married you because you are carrying his child!'

For a moment, the image of the white and radiant woman haunted her mind. She still clearly remembered how that woman deliberately played with her feelings. The sharp and piercing words from Clara's thin rosy lips still stuck deep in Lisa's heart. She grabbed her cellphone from the nightstand but then got discouraged from sending a message to her husband who never came back.

The cell phone that she had just put back on the nightstand suddenly rang! Lisa immediately answered the cellphone and opened her eyes wide. Her heart was beating fast, she hoped it was from Oscar!

She was right on her hunch, it was from Oscar! Lisa pressed the inbox notification on the screen and read the message.

'Good night, have you slept?'

Oscar had rarely given her this kind of goodnight greeting lately. A few days ago, it was Lisa who took the initiative to contact Oscar by telephone. They would always talk, even just for a brief moment. But at least it calmed Lisa's heart a little.

How happy Lisa's heart was when she got the message from her husband. For a moment, her bad thoughts of Clara who had bullied her disappeared! Lisa replied to her husband's message with enthusiasm.

'Good night, dear. I really miss you! You're not coming home tonight?'

Lisa's cell phone then went silent for 15 minutes. She waited in vain for Oscar's reply. She felt restless because her messages weren't replied. The woman gave up and finally fell asleep.

***

The following night, Lisa suddenly woke up from her sleep. The sound of the bedroom door opening in the middle of the night made her heart beat a little. Lisa curled up and hid behind her thick blanket. Her back started to shudder. Who would dare to dare to enter her room without knocking!? Even Mrs. Rusminah would always knock on the door!

Lisa peeked through the hole in the blanket. She saw the shadow of a tall man stepping in and putting his bag near the door. Lisa asked the figure who entered her room loudly.

"Who is there!?"

"Unfortunately, it's me," said the figure of a tall, slender man who turned out to be her own husband.

"Oh, Oscar! You're giving me a heart attack! You've been coming home so late and past midnight recently, you don't even reply to my message, and you suddenly enter the room without knocking first!"

The man then approached his wife who'd been woken up by his arrival. He then sat next to Lisa and said, "I'm sorry Lisa, my work is getting more and more hectic these days, many companies want to work with my company,"

Lisa was a little annoyed with her husband's treatment that night. She ignored Oscar's explanation and went back to sleep. The woman didn't sleep close to Oscar tonight. She put some distance between Oscar and herself. They looked really awkward that night!

***

The next morning, Lisa woke up and saw that her husband had changed into his work clothes. Last night was awkward. Even Oscar didn't say hello to her! This morning, Lisa didn't talk to Oscar because she was still upset.

"Morning Lisa," Oscar said briefly.

Lisa ignored Oscar's words. She stepped into the bathroom and washed her face without saying a word.

The man was astonished at his wife's indifferent attitude. Lisa was unusually cold to him. Since Oscar often came home after midnight, the woman increasingly avoided her husband.

That morning, Lisa went to the office as usual. Doing her work just like any other days. It's just that Oscar was not in his room this morning. The man seemed to have a meeting at another company. Lisa spent her entire day working alone, no one accompanied her. She suddenly had a bad feeling that day. Her doubts about her marriage to Oscar came back to her mind again.

***

When Lisa returned home, Oscar had come home early. She was quite surprised seeing her husband coming home this early. The two of them didn't seem to get along recently. Oscar didn't greet her and Lisa didn't talk to him either. The atmosphere in the house was very awkward.

Even when they were having dinner, there was no conversation between them. Mrs. Rusminah looked at the husband and wife with an astonished face.

After dinner, Lisa returned to the bedroom. Oscar followed behind her, trying to speak to his wife who had been ignoring him. "Lisa, I want to say that I have a project overseas tomorrow!"

Lisa fell silent. She stopped her steps and turned to face the man behind her. "You want to leave me again?"

"This is my job, Lisa. I'll only go to Singapore for a week. The companies that want to collaborate with Petersson Communication hold a grand meeting there! I have to carry out my duties as president!"

Lisa began to suspect her husband who often came home at night and left her. She thought that attending a grand meeting abroad was just an excuse to avoid her. The woman began to suspect Clara. Was it possible that Clara invited Oscar to meet in secret abroad?

"You're not hiding something from me, are you, Oscar?" Lisa asked sharply.

"Lisa, why would I lie to you? You are my wife!"

"Oh, I see? Try to explain why you often come home after midnight without giving me any news lately?"

"Because I'm busy with meetings, Lisa! I can't give you news every night, especially when the meeting is still in progress!" Oscar replied in an increasing tone.

Lisa ignored her husband and slept. Her feelings were complicated.

***

In the morning, Oscar was ready to go to the airport with his luggage. Mrs. Rusminah carried his suitcase and helped Oscar put it in the trunk of his black Alphard.

The man walked over to his wife's sour face. He lowered his tall body to level Lisa. He kissed his wife's cheek who was still annoyed with how he treated her.

"I'll go first, Lisa. Do not worry about me."

Lisa nodded reluctantly.. She didn't feel like talking to her husband that morning.
