How much do you need?

Shortly after the unexpected incident, Lisa and Andien returned to sit and chat while waiting for the food they ordered to arrive.

"Ah, damn it! Because of Karina, I forgot what to tell you, Ndien!" Lisa snorted irritably.

"You said you wanted to borrow money from the president?" Andien answered with an innocent tone.

A while later, someone in an apron and tray brought a plate of fried rice and a bowl of meatballs. He placed the fried rice in front of Lisa, and meatballs in front of Andien. The aroma of fried rice was very tempting, Lisa closed her eyes and took a breath of the steaming air deliciously. Andien began to hit one of the meatballs swimming in the steaming sea of ​​broth. While enjoying their meal, they continued their conversation.

"Yes, but I can't ask him, can I? I mean, are you crazy? My relationship with him is just a professional one! Nothing more!"

"Don't have any special relationship but pregnant with his child, haha ​you're bad at lying Lis!"

"Hey, shut up! Listen to me!"

Suddenly, Lisa turned her face to the left and right, making sure no one else was trying to overhear their conversation. Andien just smiled. For a moment the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly fell silent.

Lisa went back to munching on the fried rice that was on her table. She added tons of pickles on top of the pile of hot, steaming red rice. Andien stared at the appearance of fried rice which she thought was terrible.

"Lis, don't you feel like eating a mountain of pickles?"

Lisa didn't realize that her appetite had changed drastically since she became pregnant. Her tongue tasted bland, longing for a sharp taste.

"I think since I was 'that' I became really fond of eating pickles."

"That's strange, Lis, as long as I remembered, you used to didn't really like pickles, but let's see now!"

"Do you think that people at work will know that I am 'that' again if they see me eating pickles like this?"

"Well, maybe not but it could be. Especially if Karina saw it. It's better if you have cravings not in the office, Lis, it's suspicious!"

Lisa's stomach was not bloated yet, but her changing eating habits might attract suspicion from other office employees. The woman was still trying to cover up her pregnancy before she decided to accept the marriage proposal offered by Oscar.

Lisa then asked, breaking the silence that existed between the two women, "In your opinion, who should I borrow money from if it's like this? Don't say borrow it from Oscar!"

"I can only help a little, maybe I can lend half of my savings. But you can borrow the rest. How about borrowing Damar? Isn't he a colleague from the former department?"

"Oh my, I'm not comfortable with Damar, not too close either. Even though I know Damar would want to lend me some money."

Dani Sihotang returned to the table where Lisa and Andien were eating. The giant man brought his face closer to Lisa's ear and said, "Excuse me, miss, Mr. President is calling you now!"

Lisa just stayed silent, stopped her fingers gripping the spoon and fork. She looked at Andien with a suspicious look. Her friend just shrugged her shoulders in response to Lisa's surprised gesture.

"Okay, I'll go up in a moment."

"The president wants Miss Lisa to come to his room now!" Dani ordered briefly.

What could it be, Lisa was forced to leave her friend and the food that had not been finished.

"Ndien, see you later!"

"Good Luck Lisa!" Andien smiled faintly and waved her right hand holding the spoon.

Lisa followed the burly man to the elevator and entered the president's room. She looked at the man with shiny blonde hair who was sitting in his chair linking his fingers and sitting with his legs crossed. Lisa walked slowly towards him, the burly man who had escorted her walked back to the door and waited outside.

Lisa stood in front of Oscar who was glaring at her. Her legs were trembling a little, but every time she faced the golden haired man her body always tingled. The fact that her relationship with the western-faced, blue-eyed man was nothing more than a professional relationship between the CEO and the secretary did not dampen Lisa's passion that was running through her body.

Lisa swallowed hard when she accidentally stared at the man's lips. Her eyes combed Oscar's handsome face. Those sensual lips formed a smile.

"How about, you quit admiring my face?" Said Oscar confidently. The man rested on his chin, his voice was low and seductive.

A moment passed before Lisa realized the man was talking to her. Lisa swallowed hard again, her eyes now staring at the table in front of her, embarrassed to admit that she had scanned Oscar's face.

"Please sit down Lisa, are you not sore standing there?"

Lisa shifted her body and sat on the chair in front of Oscar's table. Her lips twitched, worried, as if she had done something Oscar didn't want to know.

The room was, as usual, very quiet and cold.

"You want to talk to me?" Lisa asked fearfully.

"I heard riots on the ground floor earlier, is that true?"

"I ... Yes sir." The woman lowered her head.

"How? Has it been resolved?"

"Seems so sir ..."

"Dear Lisa, you don't have to worry about that bitch anymore. I've taken care of everything. Until she dared to mess with you in this office..." The man took a distance, even a little, but enough to take a closer look at Lisa's face, "Then I will delete her name from the employee list!"

This was not the first time he had made Lisa silent with a cold and slightly cruel intonation. But right now, Lisa couldn't say anything other than nod and shake her head. She was still trying hard to keep her mouth shut so as not to tell Oscar that she was in financial trouble. If the word about the loan money leaked even a little, it could end her life!

"Good, because I want to give you an offer." Oscar said briefly. His hands were crossed.

'What does this guy want again!?' Lisa said to herself.

The woman didn't utter a word, her tongue went out. The man in front of her really made her run out of words. Lisa just nodded, her black eyes met the man's blue eyes.

"So, how much money do you need to pay your home tax?"

That sentence was ringing in Lisa's ear. There was no point in hiding the fact that she desperately needed money, but she also didn't want to bother her boss to lend her money. Did Oscar know about the loan money from Karina? Did Karina deliberately complain to Oscar in order to get rid of her from this office?
