Chapter 769 - Meeting Her Again

Lisa, who has been working since morning until late in the evening, shuddered with her full stomach at the coolness of her office. The woman was seen couldn't stop yawning all the time. The pile of papers that filled her desk looked more and more like mountain.

At first, Lisa was planning to finish her piled up work. That's why she chose to stay longer in the office even though the sky had turned dark. 

But as time went on, Lisa couldn't help feeling sleepy anymore. She completely lost track of time, and so she placed her head on her desk when she felt like she couldn't bear with her piling work anymore. Her lips let out a soft snoring sound and her sleeping position looked uncomfortable.

By the time Lisa woke up with a sore neck, she couldn't feel her hands. Numbness came from supporting her own head for too long. Her body immediately jolted upwards when she realized that she had not finished her work and fell asleep instead.

If it's like this, Lisa can only regret her actions. She would've gone home and slept on a soft mattress, instead of lingering here and falling asleep on the table!

Instead of hurting her neck even more, Lisa decided to go home now. After all, even if she continues to stay in the office, she can't even finish a single job.

"Oh, you're not home yet?" Lisa asked in a surprised tone when she saw Cicilia and Bella still sitting in their chairs. On the floor there were only Cicilia and Bella, the others were nowhere to be seen.

Cicilia and Bella who were looking down and writing something in their books suddenly looked up at Lisa's voice. Even though the sky was dark and they had been in the office since 8 am, they still looked neat. Except for their hair.

"Oh Mrs. Lisa," said Cicilia, no less surprised than Lisa, "Yes, after this we will go home anyway. This is just to finish our respective work for a while."

Lisa nodded her head slowly, "Okay, I'll go home first. You guys hurry home too, it's getting late."

"Be careful, Miss Lisa." Cicilia and Bella said in unison.

After that, Lisa rushed into the elevator and pressed the button for downstairs herself. As the woman stepped out of the elevator, her mind suddenly remembered Oscar. She remembered Oscar's attempt to make her forget the argument with Greta. How the man made her happy by bringing her sandwiches, flowers, and then taking her somewhere to eat.

Lisa's heart, which had felt empty and cold, was now filled with warm and sweet feelings. Like Brigitta's favorite honey tea which she usually drinks every Saturday at 4 pm while enjoying TV shows.

Finally, Lisa decided to do the same as Oscar though her way is a bit different. The woman decided to go pick up Oscar without telling the man beforehand.

Lisa stopped a taxi that happened to pass in front of her and said the name of Oscar's company.

In the taxi, Lisa takes out her cell phone and plans to text the man. She wouldn't want her effort to come in vain! She didn't want Oscar to leave way earlier before she arrived. Otherwise, she would look like someone who'd just lost her job!

Lisa:

Are you still at the office?

It wasn't long before Oscar replied to her short message.

Oscar:

Yep. Looks like I'm working late today, I have a lot of work to do. If you need anything, you can contact me.

Knowing that Oscar was still in the office made Lisa feel relieved. Arriving in front of the building, she saw a coffee shop located not far from where she was standing now. 

Instead of waiting at the entrance, and perhaps being mistaken for a jobless person by the security guard, Lisa decided to wait for Oscar at the coffee shop. After all, she is also lazy if she has to cross paths with her old colleagues at the office.

She had worked at Petersson Communications long enough to be acquainted with nearly all of the company's incumbents. If she had to pass by one of them just because she was waiting for Oscar, maybe she would need to exchange greetings with them and talk awkwardly for a while.

And Lisa didn't want that.

In addition, she seems to need caffeine in her body.

Having such thoughts made her rush into the coffee shop near the office building. She deliberately chose a seat near the window so she could see Oscar, and ordered a mocha latte. While waiting, she took out her cell phone and read the latest gossip on the internet.

She's been so busy with work lately that she doesn't have time to keep up with the latest gossip. Though usually she always spends time gossiping about the rising celebs with Andien. But since they are both so busy in their respective worlds, they forget to contact each other.

Andien hasn't read the short messages she sent for a long time. At first, Lisa was worried and panicked, but over time, she got used to it. Besides, what else can she do? She can only hope that Andien is fine and that her husband treats her well.

Who knows if Andien is already pregnant and is now busy taking care of her pregnancy? Maybe she was too busy to not have time to read her short message.

Ten minutes later, Lisa's eyes felt hot and dry from staring at the screen for too long. She put her cell phone on the table, took a sip of the cold coffee, then planned to wipe her dry eyes. At the same time, she saw a very familiar female figure enter the coffee shop.

Lisa looked down quickly and tried to make herself invisible. Don't let that demonic woman look at her!

Oh Lord…!

How come soap operas and the storyline in romance novels happened in her life! 

Why is Greta here!?

Wasn't meeting her and arguing with her earlier enough for today? Lisa couldn't imagine how tired she would be if she had to deal with that demonic woman again!

Luckily, Lisa's movement to hide herself was quite fast. Or maybe, Greta was so busy with her thoughts that she didn't notice Lisa's presence around her.

Behind the demonic woman stood a man dressed in all black. He was about the same age as Greta, almost as tall as Oscar, but his belly was slightly protruding. 

The man's hair is thin, and his blazer and shirt are black, the same color as his leather shoes. 

But above all, the man's face is filled with a sly smile.
