Chapter 623 - Savior

Lately, Lisa has been busy taking care of Vira and also her work at the office. She didn't have time to ask what was bothering her. But now, since Vira's condition has improved, and luckily she remembers the important question, she finally asks her.

Vira instantly stopped chewing. The woman with a white bandage wrapped around her head looked surprised, but within seconds her face was flat again. 

Her left hand squeezed the thick blanket covering her body, "It's nothing. However, last month, I was really unlucky. I always make mistakes at work, and I was scolded so badly that they finally cut my salary…"

Actually, Lisa was a little doubtful about Vira's answer. First, the woman does not dare to look her in the eyes when lying. Second, how could Vira get so drunk that she wanted to kill herself just because of her job?

The girl that Lisa knows is a tough one. She doesn't give up easily and loves her job. So now, hearing that Vira often makes mistakes in her work, Lisa is sure there must be a reason behind it all.

"But... is it because you made a mistake that you decided to drink?" Lisa asked hesitantly and also carefully. "…Is there something you're hiding from me?"

Strange things happened again after Lisa asked that. Vira's eyes widened in shock and soon the woman choked. Lisa had to rush to her feet and get the woman a drink of water.

Vira took a quick sip of the drinking water. After she calmed down, she just answered.

"No. How could I lie to you? I did it because I was so overwhelmed and stressed, I wanted to let go of my burdens."

Vira tried hard to adjust her facial expression to look normal. She didn't want Lisa to know the real reason why she made so many mistakes at work, and ended up getting drunk on the weekends.

How could she tell Lisa that her heart aches and her mind is in turmoil every time she thinks about Lisa and Oscar's relationship?

Lately, the ex-husband and wife look so close. Their relationship has improved and Vira knows that they both still have deep feelings for each other.

Lisa never came home to the apartment and slept at Oscar's house almost every night. And every time Vira finds out, her heart always breaks into pieces.

Vira knows that her feelings are wrong. She had considered Lisa as her own sister, and now, she was stupidly harboring feelings for Lisa's ex-husband. 

Even though Lisa felt awkward hearing Vira's answer, she didn't say anything. She just nodded her head, gesturing that she was satisfied with the answer. 

Maybe Vira did keep a secret from Lisa, and Lisa was reluctant to ask further. According to her, every human being has a secret that no one knows except themselves. Lisa understands it because she also has secrets that she keeps to herself. 

As long as Vira is feeling fine, Lisa is okay. Vira can lie to her as long as she wants, and Lisa will do nothing.

One lie won't hurt, right?

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room felt tense and awkward. Lisa handed a plastic plate to Vira's hand and then got up from the chair. "Here, eat it. I want to make warm hot tea for you."

Vira accepted the plastic plate and ate in silence.

When Lisa and Vira were no longer sitting next to each other, the tense atmosphere in the VIP room shrank. They both can breathe a sigh of relief because there is no need to put on a facade.

"Sis, I'm done-"

Before Vira could finish her words, the door was suddenly opened from the outside. The two women both turned their heads and saw Dani rushing inside while carrying some gifts. 

Dani's left hand carries a plastic bag of fresh fruits, while his right hand has a bucket of beautiful yellow flowers. Lisa dried her hands on her cloth pants, then walked over to Dani.

"You have a lot to bring." Lisa said as she took the plastic filled with fruits from Dani's hands.

Dani smiled faintly, "Ah yes, these are all from Mr. Oscar."

It wasn't long before Oscar came in dashingly. The man's face was radiant, and his footsteps were light. He greeted Lisa by squeezing her shoulder and then gave her a warm smile.

Seeing Oscar in the same room with her made Vira's cheeks suddenly heat up. She tried to ignore how her heart was beating so fast that her ribs hurt.

"M-Mister Oscar, you shouldn't have bothered to bring me flowers and fresh fruit…"

"How could I come here without bringing anything?" Oscar turned and nudged Lisa's shoulder who was arranging the fruits on the plate, "This woman right here is angry and has been shutting me out for a few days."

Oscar's deep and warm voice filled Vira's eardrums and entered her heart. The woman could only chuckle a little even though her heart was shattered again and again.

"What is it?! Stop talking nonsense!" Lisa grumbled. The woman pulled another chair near the refrigerator and brought it beside Vira's bed, "Oscar, sit here."

Oscar saw Lisa then gave a big smile. The man sat on a chair while Lisa stood not far from him. The distance between the two of them is so close, and as Vira saw it, they were like strong glue.

"Oh, right. Mr Oscar—"

"Hey, is it time for Lisa's friend to call me so formally?" Oscar teased while still smiling widely.

Vira's cheeks reddened, "Oscar. Ah yes, Oscar, why are you here now? Don't you have work to do?"

"I just happened to have finished my work at the office, so I decided to come here. In addition to visiting you, I also want to see this savior of your life." Oscar replied warmly. 

Today, Oscar looks warm and affectionate, different from the last time Vira met him. The man was now full of smiles and his voice didn't sound cold.

Vira knows that the cause of Oscar's change is none other than Lisa. She felt relieved because she still had time to see Oscar's warm smile. But her heart ached because she knew that the reason Oscar could smile like this was not because of her, but Lisa.

"Oh..." She replied slowly.
