BXBX NOVEL Chapter 538 - Mysterious Gift
When Lisa was caught in the case of plagiarizing Patricia\'s proposal, she had never met Cicilia. She didn\'t share in the gossip with the others, nor did she stand up for Lisa. Because of that, Lisa knew what type of person Cicilia was.
The woman prefers to be neutral rather than having to choose one of the \'battling\' sides.
If Cicilia openly said that she was on Lisa\'s side, it was certain that she would be bullied. And knowing her tough and fearless nature, the woman would act as fierce as a beast and fight them back.
Meanwhile, if Cicilia was on their side and joined in sneering at her, Cicilia would have offended her friend. It\'s no secret that they are close friends. It\'s funny if she joined the crowd to hate Lisa but then found out that the problem was finally resolved with Lisa proven as innocent. Wouldn\'t it be awkward to just cling to her again like a normal friend?
Indeed, remaining neutral is the most appropriate way for her.
Lisa should have thought Cicilia was not a good person and it was better not to continue her friendship with that woman. But remembering that Cicilia wasn\'t making fun of her from behind made her feel relieved.
Lisa cleared her throat, "The problem is solved. Well, I don\'t want to talk about that anymore."
"Lisa, I\'m sorry. I should have defended you instead of just being a coward. I understand if you don\'t want to be friends with me anymore." Cicilia suddenly said. The woman\'s tone suddenly became lethargic.
Cicilia knew that what she had been doing these past few days was wrong. As a good friend, she should always stand up for Lisa, regardless of wrong or right. But on the one hand, she also doesn\'t want to be kicked out of the company for defending the wrong person.
"Ugh, why would you think like that! I\'m not angry with you. Come on, go back to work over there or Mrs. Maria will come out of her room and see us gossiping! You know what she\'s like!" Lisa replied lightly. In order to further reassure Cicilia that they were fine, she gave a big smile.
Hearing that made Cicilia look up quickly. She didn\'t expect that Lisa was indeed an angel without wings!
Because if she was in Lisa\'s position and her best friend didn\'t defend her, maybe she\'d be on fire and be hostile to her!
"You… Are you really not mad at me?"
"Why would I be angry with you?" Lisa asked back, "Really, I\'m not angry with you."
At the same time, before Cicilia could reply to Lisa\'s words, the elevator located directly behind them opened. Not long after, the figure of a man wearing an online motorcycle taxi jacket came out carrying a medium-sized package. The man often looked at his cellphone and then looked at two women sitting not far from him.
"Wow, who has ordered food in the morning like this?" Cicilia whispered in disbelief. Once she got the opportunity to gossip, the woman would not miss it!
Lisa shrugged her shoulders.
To their surprise, the man walked over to Lisa\'s desk. Cicilia immediately threw a suspicious look at her friend. "Did you order food?"
"Nope. I haven\'t even touched my cellphone today!"
"Excuse me," The man looked down for a moment and then looked at his cellphone screen, "Are you Lisa Soewandi?"
"Oh yes, it\'s me. What is it?" Lisa asked as she stood up from her chair.
The man then nodded his head in satisfaction. He seemed to be typing something on his cell phone for a while then put the phone in his pocket. Then he handed Lisa a small parcel that gave off a delicious aroma.
"This is your order."
Of course, Lisa did not immediately accept the mysterious gift. Because as far as she remembers, she hasn\'t ordered food through an online application that morning. Her cell phone is still in her bag!
"But I didn\'t order any food?"
The man persisted in holding out the plastic package and asked, "But you\'re Lisa Soewandi, right?"
"Yes, my name is Lisa Soewandi. But I didn\'t order food!" Lisa replied.
"Then, this is your order," said the man with a small chuckle. Since Lisa didn\'t want to accept the gift right away even though the man still had to deliver an order at the other building, he immediately put the parcel on Lisa\'s table, "Enjoy it, Sis!"
Then, within seconds, the man had turned around and pressed the elevator button.
Lisa could only see the courier enter the elevator with hasty steps. She was so shocked that she didn\'t realize that Cicilia was still standing next to her desk. Still feeling confused, the woman sat back in her chair and put the plastic parcel on her lap.
Even though Lisa wasn\'t told who sent it, she could already guess who it was.
"Open it! I\'m really curious about what\'s inside!" Cicilia urged impatiently. The woman acted as if she was the one who received the mysterious gift and not Lisa.
As Cicilia ordered, Lisa hurriedly opened the parcel. Inside the package is a plastic cup containing hot coffee and a see-through glass that shows a pink drink. Then, there are also sandwiches that emit a delicious aroma.
At first, Lisa thought that the parcel only contained food and soft drinks for her breakfast that morning. But when she saw a red rose and also a shopping voucher that read \'Gift Voucher of 500 thousand!\' with the bold font and flashy red color, she immediately felt embarrassed!
It\'s such a shame that Cicilia saw it all!
"Wow, that\'s crazy!! Who sent you this gift!? Crazy, I just found out that you already have a boyfriend!" Cicilia whispered loudly, trying so that only Lisa could hear it.
Suddenly, Cicilia whined while touching her chest, "Lis, I\'m still single, so please tell your boyfriend not to send you gifts when I\'m next to you please! I\'m jealous, you know!"
Hearing that immediately made her cheeks, or you could say, Lisa\'s face turned red. Cicilia then laughed loudly and said, "Ouch, please don\'t explode just yet!"
"N-no, I really don\'t know who sent this…"
"Ugh, don\'t act so innocent! Who else if not your boyfriend? Can your mother be this romantic and suddenly send red roses!?"
