BXBX NOVEL Chapter 393 - Lisa's New Job
"I haven\'t cooked for a long time so you have to try it first before you say my cooking is good." Lisa said as she took off her apron and sat next to Rangga.
Rangga took one of the many dishes that Lisa made and then took a bite, chewed slowly to enjoy it. "Damn, this is really good! Crazy! This is really delicious, it exceeds 5-star hotel cuisine!"
Lisa smiled at his compliment, even though she knew his compliment was a bit too much, "Ugh, you\'re exaggerating. How come you said it? It\'s the first time you tasted my cooking."
"Seriously, this is so good! Why would I lie to you? You know why I\'m thin like this? Because I\'m so picky. I just want delicious food!" Rangga devours the meat that Lisa cooks greedily like someone who hasn\'t eaten for a week.
Mrs. Sumiyati has worked as a household assistant at Rangga\'s house but this is the first time she has seen the man eating so heartily three bowls of rice alternately, and almost all dishes. He tried literally everything on the table!
"Hey, slow down a little, you\'re like a hungry tiger. You can still eat it tomorrow. Don\'t force yourself to finish everything now, I haven\'t had my share yet!" Lisa said, looking at Rangga as if he was the incarnation of a tiger who ran out of food and was stranded in the forest. The man even devoured a large chunk of meat with just one bite.
Rangga took the last bite of his plate and said, "It\'s your fault for making such delicious food. You\'re going to cook for me again tomorrow, huh?"
Hearing Rangga\'s words, Lisa felt greatly touched. Even though she didn\'t know what would happen in the future, she would try to make herself fall in love with Rangga.
After eating, she made tea for Rangga. The man ate oily food just now, so she was sure the tea would help Rangga\'s digestion run smoothly.
After she helped to clean the table, Lisa hesitated for a moment then mustered up the courage to approach Rangga, "Why are you stunned?"
Lisa sat next to him, who was resting his chin looking straight ahead. Rangga then spontaneously wrapped his arms onto her shoulder.
She wanted to brush off Rangga\'s embrace, but the man didn\'t give her a chance to get away. Rangga just hugged her tighter.
"How about your job application, any update?" Rangga asked attentively.
Hearing his question just now made Lisa stunned and froze. She took a deep breath and replied, "Not yet ..." Her voice sounded very soft and full of despair.
"Do you still remember my acquaintance\'s start-up company that I told you about yesterday? What if you try applying there, and let me help talk to the owner. Don\'t feel ashamed working there because I\'m close to my acquaintance. I already know your quality, and it would be great if you could get into the company of my new acquaintance. After all, you\'re also experienced."
Rangga\'s words really convinced her heart to consider her choice.
Lisa began to think, remembering what Rangga said earlier, she does have work experience, and has worked in a multinational company such as Petersson Communication for years.
She got up from the sofa and embraced her lover then said, "You\'re right. Okay, I\'ll try it!"
"Seriously? Good then," Rangga asked, convincing Lisa.
Lisa nodded lightly. "Well, there\'s no better choice right now, but tell your friend to treat me and other employees fairly and equally, okay? I don\'t want your acquaintance to treat me in a special way just because they know you,"
Rangga looked at her with a stern and confident gaze.
Lisa had worked under his leadership for some time when she was at Colors Advertising with Rangga as the president. The man personally saw Lisa\'s excellent performance with his own eyes, so he was sure she would be accepted in the company owned by his acquaintance.
***
That night, Lisa fell asleep in Rangga\'s arms. But she didn\'t remember how the man moved to her bedroom.
The next morning, when Lisa woke up, she saw herself still sleeping in Rangga\'s arms while the man was still fast asleep.
Knowing this, her cheeks slowly grew red. Ever since she got discharged from the hospital, she often found herself sleeping together with Rangga in the same bed.
Their most intimate moments were only filled with kisses. Neither went out of line, so they never had sex with each other.
Slowly, Lisa released herself from the man\'s arm, then immediately cleaned herself up to go to the company owned by Rangga\'s acquaintance for an interview.
However, when she was about to leave the room, Rangga awoke from his deep sleep and turned to face her.
"Morning!" Rangga said, throwing a sweet smile at her.
When Lisa turned around, she saw Rangga\'s sleepy face, with his eyes half closed. She did not think Rangga would wake up with such a look.
Seeing Rangga looking sleepy as he struggled to get out of bed made Lisa laugh lightly.
"It\'s almost seven o\'clock, let\'s wake up and have breakfast," Lisa said as she walked over to her wardrobe then grabbed her tote bag and checked her stuff.
"Which clothes do you think I should wear today?" Lisa asked, showing her working attires in different cut and color styles.
"I think the green one will look great on you. My acquaintance is a very relaxed person, no need to wear overly formal attire."
Lisa nodded in return. She wore a casual green attire with matching shoes.
After breakfast, Rangga took her straight to the company building owned by his acquaintance then waited for her until the woman finished the interview.
***
A week later, Lisa was officially accepted in the said company and joined the finance department. Since the company is still very new, there is a shortage of manpower, so not only Lisa has to manage finances, but also occasionally helps managers to take care of documents and accompanies them on business trips. In short, she is the most multifunctional employee in her new office.
Although she is tired of the work that shouldn\'t be her responsibility, she is very happy. Finally, after being unemployed for a long time, she got a new job and Rangga did not stop her from working.
In the afternoon, right after Lisa came out of the office building, the sun was setting quietly on the skies of the capital, making the city look majestic and spectacular.
Lisa raised her hand then massaged her sore neck to end the day\'s tiring work. After a few steps, she found Rangga\'s car pulling over not far away.
Lisa accelerated her pace and walked towards the car and saw Rangga\'s handsome face through the window, "Hey, you didn\'t pick me up directly from your office, right?" She asked as she climbed into the front passenger seat and tightened her seat belt.
Rangga started the car with a happy smile on his face, "My work is done early, so I can go home early."
"Done early, huh? How nice!"
"How was your first day in the office? Have you adjusted to the new atmosphere? My friend even praised you, you know!"
Lisa turned to Rangga and raised her eyebrows, "Really? What did he say about me?"
"He said he really liked your performance and blamed me because I didn\'t recommend you from the start. He said you are a hard worker, humble, and competent assistant in all fields!"
