BXBX NOVEL Chapter 530 - Drunk
Today, Lisa is pretty much unemployed in the office. This morning, she just came in to check her presence and planned to prepare the meeting room. Then, after that, she went home or rather got kidnapped by Oscar to look after William while he was working. But she felt tired since she had to travel from company to company to hold a joint meeting about a new product.
Her throat felt dry and her stomach hungry because she hadn\'t had dinner yet.
As William said earlier, the boy didn\'t go to sleep even though Lisa had read him a fairy tale. From one book to another, the boy\'s eyes were still wide open. Sometimes, when the fairy tale didn\'t make sense, William would cut Lisa off and say something like...
"What kind of animal can talk? It doesn\'t make sense!"
Or sometimes...
"I\'m bored with this story. Please change it!"
And so on.
Finally, after reading 7 to 8 fairy tales from different books, William just fell asleep. No words can describe how relieved Lisa was to know the boy was finally asleep. Before William woke up from his sleep, she quickly tidied up the fairy tale books and straightened the blanket that covered her son\'s body.
Thinking that she was alone with William made Lisa enjoy her time. She ate the chicken soup she cooked earlier in the living room while watching TV and putting her feet up on the table. She changed channel after channel for a while then decided to sleep.
After washing hers and William\'s dirty dishes, Lisa climbed the stairs to her room. Actually, the room she meant was the guest room at Oscar\'s house. It was just that Lisa had slept in there too many times to be called a guest room.
The moment she walked past Oscar\'s room, she was one hundred percent sure she heard a voice from inside. The woman\'s steps instantly stopped and a feeling of anxiety filled her.
Is Oscar home yet? But when? Why didn\'t she see him enter the house?
Earlier, before going to the second floor, Lisa had seen the hands of the clock, and found that it was already half past 12 at night. For someone with a high position in the company like Oscar, coming home late is indeed not a surprise anymore. But what made Lisa feel weird was, when did that guy come?
Thinking that an intruder might\'ve entered Oscar\'s room made Lisa unable to think straight. She immediately knocked on the man\'s door quite loudly. But she didn\'t hear any more movement coming from the room once she did it.
"Well, this isn\'t right." Lisa grumbled.
Finally, instead of feeling more curious, Lisa just walked into Oscar\'s room. For a moment, the woman narrowed her eyes, trying to adjust her gaze. Since the room was dark, there were no lights on and the window curtains were closed, while the living room light was quite bright.
After her eyes became clearer, Lisa could see the figure of a man standing near the bed. His body looked tall and burly, as if he routinely spent his free time in the gym. At first, Lisa felt panicked because, wow, that man\'s body was 2 times her width! How could she possibly beat that guy!?
But as soon as her eyes caught sight of the familiar golden hair, Lisa could breathe a sigh of relief.
"When did you come home? Why didn\'t I see you?" Lisa asked with her hands on her hips. She looked like a mother about to scold her child for breaking the curfew.
Oscar frowned and threw a question instead, "What are you doing here?"
Remembering what had happened this morning in the man\'s car and not to mention the praise and compliment he had thrown at her made Lisa think that they were fine. At least, they had begun to repair their relationship that was almost broken.
Lisa took a step or two forward, aiming to approach Oscar. "Well, I\'m just asking when did you come home because I didn\'t see you come in. I was just about out of William\'s room and—"
As soon as they got closer, Lisa immediately stopped walking. She furrowed her brows when she smelled a woman\'s perfume that was so strong and foreign but also familiar from Oscar\'s body. Lisa is 100% sure that the perfume is an expensive one.
Even though she didn\'t know much about expensive things, she knew perfume. She can\'t afford to buy branded goods but that doesn\'t mean she doesn\'t keep up with news regarding such items. This pungent smell of perfume is usually found when she passes a perfume shop in a big mall.
At first, Lisa had thought of the name of the owner of the perfume, but the name just disappeared from her mind when Oscar replied.
"So what?"
Lisa ignored Oscar\'s question and walked over to him. Her attitude was disgusting this time, but the woman was so curious that she threw away her embarrassment and sniffed Oscar\'s clothes.
Even though the smell of red wine was thick on his body, the smell of her perfume couldn\'t be covered up.
As long as Lisa knew Oscar, she knew that the man had never worn women\'s perfume. Usually, Oscar would use a perfume with thick and masculine, along with woody aroma. And not a lavender scent like this.
Lisa immediately looked up and gave Oscar a disdainful look. "Oh, I see. You definitely didn\'t work overtime but got drunk with Indri, right?"
The alcohol seemed to have messed with Oscar\'s mind that the man nodded his head, agreeing with Lisa\'s words. But it didn\'t take long for him to frown and ask.
"How did you know?"
Hearing that made Lisa let out a dry chuckle. The sound of her laughter sounded like a witch who wanted to kill her enemy with a poisonous potion.
"You think I\'m stupid? Of course I know it, I can smell Indri\'s perfume on your body!" Lisa replied curtly. The woman then turned her body and grumbled, "I just want to sleep. Don\'t bother me!"
But before she could walk far enough, she felt Oscar\'s wrist grabbing hers. Her body then turned back and into the darkness as she could see a wide smile graced Oscar\'s sensual lips.
"Hey, are you jealous?" Oscar asked while showing a row of neat and white teeth.
"Jealous my ass! Why would I be jealous of Indri? I told you earlier that it\'s up to you to date or marry whoever you want! I will only accept one condition for it, and that she has to let me meet William!"
