BXBX NOVEL Chapter 105 - I Don't Need Your Money!
The next day, Andien got up early as she had to go to the office as usual. On the other hand, Lisa was still fast asleep. How great it was for Lisa that she didn\'t have to get up early to go to work now Andien thought.
At 9 o\'clock, Lisa just woke up from a deep sleep. She saw no one but two cats that were eating and sleeping in the corner of the room. She thought that Andien must have gone to the office this morning.
The woman walked to the window and opened the curtains. The scorching morning sun shone through the window and penetrated the room.
Lisa blinked. Sometimes she forgot to enjoy life when she was still working in the office. Now she was free, she could feel the warmth of the sun on her face all day long. But she would have to meet someone who once colored her life today.
Lisa wasn\'t really ready to meet Oscar. But she had to, in order to return the bastard\'s debit card she didn\'t want to be indebted for.
When she stepped into the kitchen, Andien left a piece of paper saying, "If you want to eat, there is instant porridge in the upper cupboard."
Lisa reached the top of said cupboard then found a bowl and a pack of instant porridge. She heated the water then brewed the instant porridge. The aroma was so fragrant that it invited Andien\'s cats to approach her.
One of the cats rubbed its head against Lisa\'s leg in exasperation.
For a moment she felt that her life was not too miserable. Even though she was far from luxury and free of marriage ties, she still had a loyal friend who was willing to help her when she was in need.
Love couldn\'t last long but sincere friendship could last until the end of time, she thought.
After eating, Lisa turned to the clock on the wall. In an hour she had to be in the Petersson Communications office to fulfill her promise last night. Lisa got up from her seat and grabbed a towel then took a shower.
She appeared formal but not exaggerated. She had no intention of returning to the office again so why overdid it?
Before she left, Lisa took out her cell phone and made calls to Oscar to make sure the man kept his promise.
The call was received but the man had not picked up yet. For a moment, Lisa thought that the man was in a meeting and his cellphone was not near him. She hung up on the call and waited a few minutes to make another call.
At her second call, the man finally picked up. A deep, familiar sexy voice from across the phone made Lisa even more nervous to start speaking.
"Hello?"
"H... hello, it\'s me Lisa," answered Lisa from across.
"Yes, I know, what\'s wrong?"
Lisa Pursed her lips. She was very nervous. This was the first time Lisa had taken the initiative to contact Oscar first after their divorce.
"I just want confirmation,we\'ll meet at the office today, right?" Lisa asked a little nervously.
"Yes, I will wait at 12 o\'clock as promised yesterday. Sorry I\'m still in a meeting. Thank you."
The man hastily hung up the call.
Lisa finally arrived at the Petersson Communication office after half an hour\'s drive from Andien\'s apartment by taxi. She raised her head and stared at the towering office building she had once worked in. How she missed the past when she was accepted at the multinational company because of her achievements.
Then Lisa hurried to the lobby door, went to the elevator and went up to the floor where Oscar\'s room was.
She looked around for a moment. Nothing had changed from that office. The color of the paint and the floors were always polished and shiny. Modern furnishings. Lisa felt nostalgic.
Arriving in front of the president\'s room, Lisa was greeted by a secretary who seemed much younger than her. At first glance, the woman looked thin and not tall.
The secretary greeted Lisa with a warm and friendly greeting.
"Are you Miss Lisa? The one who made an appointment to meet Mr. Oscar yesterday at 12?"
"That\'s right," Lisa answered shortly.
"What a coincidence, Mr. Oscar had just finished a meeting. You can go in and meet him."
Lisa gripped the doorknob nervously. It seemed like it was just yesterday when she walked into the office and was appointed as Oscar\'s private secretary.
She ventured to step inside. The cold and silent aura of the room didn\'t seem to have changed much.
Lisa saw Oscar sitting at his desk, reading a report with the cold gaze of his flagship. The sunlight from the wide window behind him caught his golden hair until it sparkled.
The man was still handsome since the last time Lisa saw him.
Lisa walked up to Oscar\'s table with awkward steps. "Pardon me for disturbing at office hours."
"No problem," Oscar replied simply. "Please, sit."
Lisa pulled out a chair and landed herself. Her legs were crossed while her two hands were connected.
"So, what is your business here, Miss Lisa?" Oscar asked in a formal manner.
"Sorry if it\'s rude but this is a personal matter that hasn\'t been resolved. Oscar, I want to return your debit card," Lisa firmly said.
She then reached into her handbag to take out a debit card and handed it to Oscar.
The man arranged the card that Lisa handed him. A few seconds later, his gaze shifted to Lisa\'s face, staring at her in surprise.
"Lisa, I am giving you this card so that you and your little family can survive as long as you still haven\'t found a job. Why did you return it to me?" Oscar asked in surprise.
"That\'s Oscar, I don\'t need your help. This Debit Card is an insult for me! As if I owe you a debt of gratitude."
"But it was written on our marriage agreement first, right? I have to keep that promise. But now you reject it?"
"Yes, I don\'t need your help!"
"Heh, you\'re still the same as the old Lisa. Stubborn and independent. Trust me, Lisa, that a woman like you will not be able to survive alone in Jakarta without the help of a man," Oscar scoffed with cynical eyes.
Oscar shoved the debit card at Lisa. "Just take it, I still have a lot of money besides what\'s on this card. You can trust me Lisa."
Lisa pushed the card back to Oscar. "No! I will fight on my own even if I have to experience what it feels like to sleep on the side of the road instead of being the mistress of a rich person like you and let Clara bother with my life further!
Hearing that Oscar was immediately shocked. He didn\'t like it when Lisa brought Clara\'s name into private conversations. The man knit his brows and snorted in annoyance.
"What do you know about Clara? Don\'t be ignorant!"
"Don\'t play pretend, I know you are deliberately using that woman for your sake right!? You did the same to me now you did it to Clara!" Lisa snapped, her voice squealing.
Oscar was silent for a moment. He was at a loss for words to reply to Lisa\'s argument.
"Anyway, I don\'t want your money. I don\'t want to take it for the rest of my life! Just take your debit card back!" Lisa threw the black card with a silver border at Oscar until it hit his face.
The man frowned in surprise. He caught the card that Lisa had thrown at him.
"Oh, one more thing." Lisa leaned close to Oscar, their faces were now only a centimeter apart. "Tell that bastard Clara, don\'t disturb my life ever again!"
Lisa got up from the chair and left the president\'s room with hurried steps. She had fulfilled her duty. The problem with Oscar was resolved. she slammed the door to the president\'s room loudly.
"You will regret it all Lisa! Remember what I said!" Oscar shouted from behind the door.
