Chapter 565 - Appropriate Punishment

"Come on, stop now," Maria replied, looking annoyed.

Maria turned around and sat back in her chair. Talking and arguing with Lisa made her tired. The woman folded her arms in front of her chest and leaned her back against the back of the chair.

"It's better for you to think about your future," Maria raised her hand and looked at her watch, "Your tape will be viral soon. I just hope that you have a good reason to explain that to Mrs. Indri and the company leaders."

Lisa just blinked a few times and looked at Maria with a straight face. The woman looked like she was tired of hearing Maria's endless threats.

"Ah yes, I mean.... sorry to disappoint you, but..." 

Lisa is indeed one of the many stupid women. Her heart seemed to stop beating before she could finish the sentence. Why did she have to be so stupid and say that to Maria?

At first, she didn't want to tell Maria that her plan failed. She thought that it was better for Oscar to tell her by himself, or better yet, let Maria find out through Indri. But because she was being stupid, Lisa couldn't help but have to explain.

Maria frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Your rotten plan has failed miserably."

Hearing that actually made Maria laugh. She shook her head and thought that Lisa was the stupidest woman she had ever met.

"Lisa, don't think that I'm stupid. I saw Robert put medicine in your drink yesterday, and I myself took you to a hotel near Platio Dining. Come on, don't waste your time lying to me."

Before Lisa could reply to Maria's words, the two of them suddenly heard a knock on the door. Maria arrogantly raised her hand and told Lisa not to make any sound.

"Enter." Her order was cold.

Soon, the door to her room was opened from the outside and they could see two men wearing police uniforms enter inside. One of the men reached into his pocket and pulled out a warrant.

"Which of you has the name Maria Damayanti?"

Suddenly, Maria raised her right hand while frowning, "It's me. What do you need, sir?"

"Someone just reported that you have been suspected of committing a premeditated crime. Please come with me to the police station." Said one of the men while walking towards Maria's table. 

Without saying much, he grabbed Maria's hand, put it behind her back, then handcuffed both of her wrists.

For a moment, Maria was dumbfounded and could only let the man pull her away. But as soon as they were almost at the doorway, Maria immediately came to her senses and struggled.

"Hey, hey! This must be a mistake! I don't want to go to the police station! Why should I go there, I didn't do anything wrong!" 

Maria tried to remove the handcuffs that tied her hands together, her wrists gradually felt hot. She didn't want to go to the police station, especially when she was about to be punished for her actions. 

And even though she was screaming and struggling crazily, the two policemen remained calm and tried to get her out.

"Let go of me, you bastard! I didn't do anything wrong! Lisa should be the one imprisoned, not me!"

The two cops didn't let Maria utter nonsense any longer and dragged the woman out. 

At this time, Lisa was standing in front of Maria's desk. She couldn't stop thinking about what Oscar was up to. Her biggest fear was that the man would come with his men and finish Maria with his bare hands. Just like what he did with Aditya, Surya, and also Robert.

Even though Lisa hated Maria and wanted her to get the punishment she deserved, it didn't mean that she wanted her to be the next victim of Oscar's violent actions.

Fortunately, Oscar chose to resolve this issue legally this time, and not by violence. 

Lisa followed the two policemen and Maria outside. She saw the woman struggling, crying while asking anyone for help to let her go. But unfortunately, no one felt sorry for Maria.

Either because they are afraid they will be involved or that they really don't like Maria.

Just like Lisa. The woman did not feel sorry for Maria at all. Because Maria really had to get the punishment she deserved so she wouldn't dare to try her crime a second time.

Several employees seen busy and enjoying hot coffee at their desks stood up as soon as they saw Maria being taken away by the police. The longer they saw her, the more they felt something was strange. 

Why do they feel that their boss always ended up the same? 

Always causing trouble that they have to be taken to the police station.

First Surya, and now Maria. These employees can still understand it when it comes to Surya. After all, the man really likes to play with women and abuse his power to blackmail and threaten others. But they didn't know what kind of problem caused Maria, the small plants enthusiast, to be arrested and dragged out of the office by force.

"How come Mrs. Maria is arrested? What did she do wrong?"

One of the female employees who's basically one of Maria's fans stood looking dumbfounded. "I don't know… oh my gosh, now Mrs. Maria meets the same fate as Mr. Surya… What's really going on…"

"What else does this have to do with Lisa? Did you see that she was in Mrs. Maria's room earlier?" Another employee chirped in.

"We have to be careful with her, guys. Don't let us make the same mistake or offend her in any way. You can be taken to prison just like Mrs. Maria and Mr. Surya!"

***

A new boss, who's pretty much a successful career woman at a young age, was suddenly arrested and brought to the police station. Of course news like this immediately spread throughout the office. 

Although there were some who felt strange because Maria was suddenly taken to the police station, there were others who didn't think long. Maria's good name was instantly destroyed.

They did not think that the beautiful woman had made such a fatal mistake that she had to be taken to the police station.

"Hey, Lisa, do you know why Mrs. Maria was suddenly taken to the police station?" A man who was standing behind Lisa's chair asked.
