Caught together

Seeing that indecent scene, Karina immediately broke down the door to the president's room and entered arbitrarily. She saw Lisa was sitting on Oscar's lap.

"Lisa! So this is the real you?!" Karina looked at the two of them with disbelief and disgust, "As I thought, it's no wonder Aditya left you, it turns out that you are cheating with a foreigner!"

"Kar! It's not like what you've seen Mr. Oscar really—" Not having time to finish her sentence, Oscar took over Lisa's conversation, "I'm the one who touched Lisa. You better not start any gossip in this office!"

"Sir, come on, you have violated company rules, that's the first thing." Karina pointed her index finger at Peter's face, "Second, why would you want a bitch like Lisa?!"

Oscar told Lisa to get off his lap. The man then stood in front of Karina who was still frowning threateningly. The man's cold and intimidating aura began to radiate again.

"You are Karina from the marketing department right? Your title is manager, just like Lisa. But I noticed that you really like to gossip in the office, don't you?" Oscar asked sarcastically. His tone began to send chills toward the woman, "You should be ashamed of yourself! It's a shame your performance is pretty good here, so I have no reason to fire you!"

"Who is this man who dares—how dare he say that? I'll report you to President Director Peter for this insolence!" Karina said confidently. Her eyes stared at Oscar fiercely.

"Kar, you better step back. Mr. Oscar is our new CEO!" Lisa exclaimed from behind Oscar. Her hands were crossed.

"You're kidding, right? Why didn't Mr. Peter say anything yesterday? Mr. Bisma is supposed to replace him!" Karina snapped.

"I just replaced my father today!" Oscar frowned and gave Karina a sharp gaze.

"Mr Peter is your father!?!" Karina raised an eyebrow in disbelief. She did not expect that this handsome but scary man would be the legitimate heir of this well-known telecommunication company.

"Karina! Language!" Lisa said aloud.

"I mean, Mr. Peter is your father!?" Asked Karina who was still standing in front of Oscar.

"That's right Karina. Still want to fight again?"

Oscar hated dealing with women like Karina the most. She had a beautiful face but her heart was rotten and her behavior was very uncivilized. If only Karina weren't one of the top young managers at the company, her desk definitely would be empty the next day.

"Lisa is my personal secretary now! What goes on behind the door of this room is none of your business. So Karina, I ask you to come back to your room. Go take care of your men!"

"Lisa? Get down from manager to secretary? Ahahahahaha! What a lowlife! You really are lowlife Lisa! Just like your ugly old mother!"

"You don't have to bring her name to this matter!" Lisa started to get angry, ready to punch her step sister and co-worker but Oscar intercepted her.

The man shook his head at Lisa.

Karina turned to Lisa with her hands on her hips, "Heheh, you are crazy Lis! You want to be demoted from manager to secretary so that you can enjoy being with the foreigner president! What a cheap move from you, Lisa. And listen to this, the new president director," Karina pointed her index finger at herself, "I will prove that I am a woman who is more worthy of your pride than Lisa! I will not lose to a lowly and peasant woman like your new secretary!"

"And ... Just watch, Lisa, soon the whole office will know that you seduce Mr. Oscar!" Karina stepped out of the president's room with brisk steps. Soon, news of Lisa committing lewd acts at the office together with the new president would spread quickly. Lisa was sure of that.

"Karina you bastard!!!"

Even though Lisa was often irritated and troubled by Karina's displeasing attitude, she still had to maintain a professional relationship with that bastard who wore blinking shoes and flashy makeup. Indeed, it was very difficult for Lisa not to burn her heart every time she faced her half sister. But until now, Lisa still hadn't found a way to get Karina off her feet and stop bothering her life.

While Lisa never badmouthed her step-sister, Karina always tarnished Lisa's reputation with wild gossip about her. Lisa didn't want to make her image worse in front of employees at the office by repaying Karina's actions with decent punishment. For her, 'your business is yours, and my business is mine.'

Lisa then fell from where she stood, tears began to stream down her blushing cheeks. The woman clasped her palms together to cover her sad expression from Oscar. For her, crying was a form of vulnerability of a persistent and strong career woman. Lisa didn't expect she'd burst into tears in the president's office.

Oscar embraced the woman who was huddled in a corner. Oscar landed a kiss on Lisa's forehead while comforting her who was still sobbing.

"My life has been ruined since the hangover incident at the Sky Lounge! It's all because of that bastard Aditya! That bastard Karina! Fuck everyone!" Lisa sobbed in Oscar's arms.

"Never mind, I will continue to monitor all of Karina's movements." Oscar embraced Lisa and stroked her head gently, "If she messes with you, I will take action. You take it easy, accompany me in this office every day." He rolled one of his eyes coquettishly.

"You can come back and finish your job as manager one last time." The man added,

"Yes sir, then I'll return to my office."

Lisa was back to dealing with the unfinished report. In the finance department room, all employees seemed busy with their respective jobs. Some of them had been slugging off overtime the day before, flipping through endless financial files. The rest did according to orders, but there was no desire to get the job done. The only employee in the room who still looked fresh and excited was Andien.

Lisa thought it was a long, tiring day.

"Lis, are you okay? How come your eyes are so puffy?" Andien asked curiously.

"Oh it's fine, I look at the computer screen for too long, Ndien."

"Ah, don't lie, Lis! It must be Karina again, right?" Andien poked Lisa's shoulder.

"The gossip has spread?!"

"Which gossip? About Aditya and you are single? That's already spreading Lis. Did you forget that this morning you were confronted by Karina?"

"Oh, that's fine. I think it already spread."

"What else?!" Andien asked curiously.

"Do you remember about the Caucasian man that I'll tell you about later?"

"Yes, why is it Lis?"

"Wanna go to the Sky Lounge later? I'll tell you there."

"Ugh Lisa! Just say that you want to drink! Let's finish our work from yesterday, Lis!"

Lisa laughed dryly at the reaction of her innocent friend, "This gotta be a long weekend Ndien!"
