Your mom said your hubby is a big boss in a big company, is that true? How come we're neighbors but I've never seen you bring him home?"
Hearing that question made Lisa's brow furrow. She did not expect Widiatri to remember in such detail what her mother had said yesterday. Lisa's face immediately turned sour at once. She pursed her lips and replied, "Mrs. Widiatri, isn't that my personal matter?"
