Chapter 766 - Sudden Trouble

The place to eat or the bar that Oscar had chosen was fortunately quite far from Lisa's office. Finally, after so long, Lisa was able to walk beside Oscar without feeling panic and fear.

But even so, now the backs of their palms were touching. Neither of them dared to take the initiative to hold hands.

Oscar was afraid that if he suddenly touched Lisa's hand and grabbed it, the woman would be angry with him and say words that could hurt his heart. 

As for Lisa, she didn't want to be seen as too confident and thought that Oscar wanted to join hands with her. After all, it was usually the man who took the initiative to hold hands.

"When I came to pick you up at the office, I wondered, why did you always get caught when I came and picked you up? You are always afraid if someone else or your colleague finds out that we are a couple. What a luxury for me to have lunch with you and now walk side by side without having to keep my distance." Oscar said quietly while sighing from his lips.

Hearing that made Lisa frown. She turned and looked at Oscar with eyes that seemed to say that she didn't agree with the man's words.

"Afraid? I'm not afraid, I'm just lazy if they find out about our relationship," Lisa grumbled, "I already said that I didn't want their attitude towards me to change just because they found out that I'm dating you, Oscar Petersson!"

Oscar looked at Lisa's side face which was red from being irritated. The man chuckled and said, "I want to tell the whole world that you are mine."

Lisa sighed, but she felt warmth run through her body. "One day, I promise I will let you tell the whole world that I am yours. We can hug or hold hands in public, whenever we want."

"I'll wait until that time comes," Oscar replied quietly. He then took Lisa's left hand and squeezed it, "I will wait as long as you want."

After a long and long walk, Oscar's cell phone suddenly rang.

Without wasting any more time, he stopped walking and took his cell phone from the pocket of his work blazer. His brows automatically furrowed as he read the short message sent by Dani.

The man's face that used to look calm with his radiant smile, now looked tense with his lips pressed tightly together. Not long after, Oscar put his cell phone back into his blazer pocket.

Lisa, who realized that something was wrong with Oscar, finally said, "Eh, it's okay if you have to go to the office now."

Oscar knows that Lisa is not a girl who must always be cared for and accompanied. He also realized that Lisa was a beautiful woman. Oscar knew that. But after the woman was often taken advantage of and almost raped, he didn't dare to leave Lisa alone.

However, his office really needs his presence. Especially after reading Dani's short message.

"Yes, the office needs my presence now. I have to get back right away. Are you okay going home alone? Take a taxi, don't walk or take a bus." Oscar replied.

Hearing the panicked tone that escaped Oscar's lips made Lisa roll her eyes. "Heh, I'm not a 3-year-old anymore! I can take a taxi. Just go to the office, it seems they need you."

"But I don't think I'll go home right away. I'll stop by the office for a bit to finish my work." Lisa continued slowly. She had taken out her cell phone and opened an app to order a taxi online.

"Ah? Are you going to the office first?" Oscar asked. He then lowered his head slightly and kissed Lisa's forehead, "Fine then. Be careful, okay? When you get to the office, don't forget to let me know."

Lisa nodded her head, "Yeah, yeah, I'll definitely let you know later."

Of course Oscar wanted to wait until the online taxi that Lisa ordered came and made sure she got into the car safely. Then, he would walk to his car which was still parked at the restaurant's yard. But since he was in a hurry, Oscar had no other choice but to leave immediately.

Lisa was still standing in the same place. She saw Oscar's back which was slowly disappearing among the sea of ​​people. Not until she couldn't see Oscar's figure in the crowd did Lisa just turn around and order a taxi online.

At first, she thought that she would be the only female employee in the office building. But it turns out, what she thought was wrong. When she stepped inside, she heard laughter and the lights on the Finance Division floor were still on.

"Ah? Are you guys still here?" Lisa asked curiously when she saw some employees still in the building.

Hearing Lisa's voice, which sounded very familiar, made Cicilia and the others turn their heads. Their faces looked surprised when they noticed Lisa's presence. Those who were sitting on the table with their legs crossed immediately got down and corrected their appearance.

"Yes, Miss Lisa. We still want to discuss a suitable place to eat for next month's celebration party." Cicilia replied ahead of her friends. "Miss Lisa, why are you still here? I thought you went home a long time ago…"

Lisa waved her hand, "I still have a lot of work to do, so I can't go home yet. You guys continue what you were doing earlier, I won't interfere."

After saying that, Lisa walked ahead of them and entered her room. Even though she didn't say anything, they could catch the happy air filling the atmosphere around their boss' body.

Bella turned and nudged Cicilia's leg as she made sure that Lisa wouldn't leave the room soon. "Eh, did you see her attitude earlier? Why is her mood suddenly looking good again? As if she doesn't have a problem with that mysterious woman!"

"I don't know," Cicilia casually replied. She leaned her back against the back of the chair and her index and middle fingers twirled a pen. "Maybe, she met someone who could make her smile before she came here."

"Well… Who knows…" Bella replied, nodding her head.

When Lisa was sitting in her leather work chair, she took out her cellphone and sent Oscar a short message.

Lisa:

I've arrived at the office.

Not long after, before Lisa had time to put her cell phone on the table, Oscar had already replied to her short message.

Oscar/:

Thank God… Later when I can, I'll pick you up at the office.
