Chapter 723 - What's Wrong With You?

"Mr. Oscar? Do you have any happy news to share?" Dani asked hastily.

Oscar ignored his question and continued to skim through Lisa's messy handwriting. Not until 5 to 6 times later he kept reading it, to the point that he remembered the next sentence the woman had written, he rose from the chair with a flowery feeling.

"Nothing," Oscar replied as he walked past Dani and opened the door to his office. "But I'll treat you to lunch today."

Dani frowned, trying to guess what made Oscar so happy. But as he was busy thinking about possibility after possibility, he saw that Oscar had already walked quite a distance from him. The burly man then quickly followed behind him.

Time is running fast, the time suddenly showed half past five in the afternoon. The sound of the woman's high heels clattering was heard on the already fairly quiet floor. There are only a few employees who still roam around and choose to work overtime that day.

"I'll go home first." Lisa said while waving her hand.

"Be careful, Miss Lisa!"

Arriving at the exit of the Better Life company, Lisa saw Oscar's car parked in front of the door. The woman's footsteps immediately stopped in front of the silver car. 

Did Oscar come to pick her up?

Having such thoughts made Lisa feel grateful that she had not booked a taxi online. The woman stepped closer to the car and saw Oscar roll down the window while smiling broadly, showing off a row of neat teeth.

Lisa opened the door and hurriedly sat down beside Oscar. The woman then fastened her seat belt and looked at Oscar with a puzzled look.

"It's rare for you to pick me up," Lisa said with a suspicious tone, "Have you finished your work today?"

Oscar's right hand was on the steering wheel while his left was on the clutch. He looked in the rearview mirror then started driving at an average speed.

He cleared his throat, "It just so happens that my work is done for today. I just wanted to pick you up and take you home."

Ever since Oscar finished reading Lisa's email, his mood changed drastically. If he didn't get the documents from the other divisions, the man wasn't as angry as usual. Although he still didn't smile, the air around him was warm.

Even Dani was still confused by his sudden change of attitude.

Now it's not only Dani who is confused by Oscar. Lisa, who was sitting beside the man, frowned and looked at him suspiciously. Just like Dani, Lisa guessed that 99 percent of the reason Oscar can be this happy is because he got happy news about his work.

"Is there any happy news you want to tell me?" Lisa punched Oscar's arm when she heard his laughter, "Geez, why are you laughing to yourself?! Don't be shy and share it with me!"

Oscar still didn't reply to Lisa's question and continued to drive, looking ahead. He only glanced at Lisa briefly and looked back at the front. 

He didn't answer Lisa's question, and the woman decided not to go for any further information. As long as the man is happy, Lisa is also happy even though she doesn't know the reason.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Oscar asked when the traffic light changed to red, "Later, I'll just have to tell Mrs. Rusminah to make a delicious meal for you."

The cold air inside the car, the feeling of tiredness, and the sound of the engine all mixed together almost made Lisa fall asleep. The woman immediately turned her head when she heard Oscar's low voice.

What actually happened? What made the man so sweet to her?

It was normal for Oscar to always be sweet to her. It's just that the man's face always looks cold and usually, he doesn't talk this much. But today, the man seemed as if he had just received news that he had won the prize money of 1 billion.

It's just that if Oscar mentioned the reason to Lisa directly, she wouldn't believe it. A man as rich as Oscar will not be this happy just because he gets 1 billion, while the money in his and William's savings exceeds that amount.

Lisa was silent for a long time, and aside from thinking about what happened to Oscar, she was also imagining what kind of food she wanted. When the traffic light turned green and Oscar stepped on the gas again, the woman just answered.

"Asparagus soup looks good." Lisa replied shortly after yawning.

"Okay," Oscar replied while turning down the temperature of the air conditioner.

Lisa was even more confused by Oscar's attitude. The feeling of drowsiness disappeared immediately and her mind was busy thinking about the possibilities that could happen. Was the man sitting next to her a clone? Where's the real Oscar? Did this guy kidnap the real Oscar?

She felt that this man was possessed by a demon indeed! It could be that the demon just happened to be a romantic one. Maybe the demon was in love in his previous life so now his attitude mirrored it.

By the time Lisa said a prayer in her heart, hoping that what she imagined wouldn't actually happen, Oscar's car had stopped in front of his house. The man quickly turned off the car engine, unbuckled his seat belt, and got out of the car.

Before Lisa could open the door, Oscar had already done it for her. Feeling confused and also surprised, Lisa got out of the car. Before she could react, the woman felt Oscar's strong arms wrap around her slender waist.

"What's wrong with him?" Lisa asked herself.

After the lovers managed to get into the house, Oscar let go of his arms around Lisa's waist. Before he went into the kitchen and ordered Mrs. Rusminah to make them asparagus soup and its accompaniments, the man kissed Lisa's forehead.

Lisa should be happy that Oscar treats her so sweetly like this. But the woman actually felt afraid and worried about what really happened to him.

She doesn't want what usually happens in soap operas or movies to happen. Oscar had just returned from the hospital and found out that he was not living long. Therefore, before he died, Oscar wanted to treat Lisa more sweetly than usual. 

No!

Don't let that happen!

"Lisa, I told Mrs. Rusminah to—"

Before Oscar could finish his sentence, Lisa was already standing in front of the man and touching his forehead with the back of her palm. 

"What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with your body?"
