Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO’s Plaything

Maria was so astonished, her ego would definitely hurt if she was defeated in this dispute. So the woman walked over to Lisa and put on a brave face.

"What I told you was clear enough, right? I guess I don't have to repeat it for tens of thousands of times to get my words into your brain. You are innocent, and all your punishments will go to Patricia."

Suddenly, Maria chuckled, "It's done. Your problem is over, and I make sure that no one will make fun of you ever again!"

Lisa was surprised to hear Maria's words that used a high and shrill tone. Perhaps the demonic woman was angry that the plan to take her down didn't work. And now, she must overcome the problems that will befall her partner, Patricia.

"Mrs. Maria, you should know what I want to say here. I know you and Patricia's plans really are. But unfortunately, your plan failed miserably. I know your scheming, but I won't tell anyone."

Suddenly, the two women looked surprised. They didn't expect that Lisa would realize what was really going on.

"As long as my name is clear and I can return to work in peace here, I will not tell anyone. I don't care what happens to Patricia or your career. Like what you said earlier, this matter is over."

"I just want to ask you to be more careful about treating people. It will also apply to me. One day, I hope that you won't be looking for trouble by accusing someone of plagiarism again. Especially me."

Just as she guessed, Maria and Patricia are both not good at acting! Their faces were bright red. Patricia even looked like she was going to cry in a second. The woman must have realized that after this, her position in the office would be demoted. Or worse, she will be kicked out of this company!

Lisa's memory of Oscar coming home in the middle of the night because he said he was having a small meeting with Indri suddenly came to her mind. Last night, the man must have 'forced' Indri to save Lisa at the office again.

Since Indri's position in the office is quite high, it is certain that the woman is bullying Maria, a new person in the office. She might threaten Maria if she couldn't solve this problem.

Knowing that Maria still wants to take revenge on Lisa, that woman will definitely do whatever it takes to maintain her position in this company.

Having this conclusion made Lisa either feel relieved or even worried. From now on, she had to be more careful with Maria. She wouldn't know when the demonic woman would attack her.

On one hand, Lisa felt sorry for Patricia. She foolishly followed Maria's orders for the sake of what she had promised. She doesn't know if it's a promotion or a raise in salary. But unfortunately, this matter ended not according to their expectations. Maria had to swerve and blame Patricia in order to save her position at the Better Life company.

"Alright, I don't care what you believe. I neither agree nor deny what you say." Maria said while walking back slowly. She returned to her desk, saying, "But this matter is over. You are innocent, and the one who is actually at fault is Patricia."

Hearing that made Patricia avert her face and wipe the tears that were already flowing from her eyes. When she looked back at Maria and Lisa, the woman's eyes flashed a deep sadness and anger. Her lips often opened and closed but no sound was heard.

In that second, Lisa knew that Patricia actually wanted to curse Maria. But she tried to restrain herself because Lisa was still in the same room with her.

If Lisa was in Patricia's position, she didn't know how she would feel. Angry, of course, and also sad. But perhaps the woman will feel numb. So many feelings were stored inside her that she went numb.

Patricia foolishly became Maria's pawn and followed all the evil plans that crossed the demonic woman's mind. Now, instead of getting what she was promised, she was being pushed into the abyss.

If they were in different circumstances, maybe Lisa would help Patricia. But she was already annoyed with the woman.

Lisa nodded her head. "Then let me leave first. Looks like you guys still have to talk about your problems."

"Take good care of yourself. Let's just say this is a lesson. Well, I hope I can still see you in this company. If not, I hope you learn from the past and don't make any more mistakes." Lisa continued while looking at Patricia's eyes which were now red like blood.

After saying that, Lisa turned around and walked out of the cold room. As soon as she closed the door to Maria's room, Lisa immediately heard the sound of sobs that broke her heart.

But Lisa couldn't do anything but walk away from there. After all, Patricia deserved to be rewarded for her actions. She should be smart enough to know what she did wrong. If Lisa was in her position, it is certain that she would not accept Maria's offer.

She still needs a job here knowing that vacancing for a job at this time is not easy. There are so many new graduates who come from good universities, while available jobs can be counted on the fingers.

Finally, after a long time of not being able to work quietly, Lisa can now sit behind the desk with a calm feeling. Patricia would take the blame for plagiarizing someone else's proposal.

Throughout the day, none of her colleagues dared to badmouth her. Unlike before, they return to normal, like greeting her or just throwing a friendly smile.

"Lisa, my favorite girl!" Cicilia shouted suddenly from the other end of the room. The woman ran towards her, causing the clatters of her high heels to fill the room, "You are finally free from this trouble!!"

"Ouch, can you step aside?" Lisa grumbled as she felt Cicilia hug her so tightly that she almost choked.
