"What if Karina bothers you again in the future? Are you sure you can take care of her by yourself? You just got beaten by the crowd before, can you really handle her?

"

Rangga's words just now were sharp and piercing, but the man spoke the truth. Lisa could not deny that she couldn't fight Karina alone. She didn't know how to deal with an enemy from the past who still held a grudge against her!

"Thank you very much for the offer, but I think Karina won't dare to bother me next year. She must be busy taking care of her loose teeth! Hahaha!

" Lisa bursted out laughing when she said that.

Rangga also bursted out laughing hearing that. Vira ignored them because she had just fallen asleep.

"I swear you're a bad girl, Lisa!

" Rangga exclaimed, laughing.

"No, she's worse than me! Can't you tell that Karina's teeth fell out after you punched her?

" Lisa laughed even louder. Lisa laughed even more remembering the incident with Karina's front teeth falling out of her gums.

"She deserves my fist, Lis. As compensation for all your belongings that she damaged with the mobs she paid for!

" Rangga said, comforting Lisa.

"Anyway, if that bastard dared to come to you and bother you again, you can contact me!

"

***

Arriving at Vira's house, the wrecked place seemed to have been made up. It looked like Vira's parents had taken care of all the damage.

Carried by Lisa, Vira's mother approached her with a worried face.

"Oh my, what happened to you? Why is our house destroyed like this?

" Her mother asked, looking worried. The woman then hugged Vira tightly.

"Sorry, mom. We were attacked by mobs trying to destroy our business,

" Vira explained frankly.

The middle-aged woman looked at Vira's face carefully. Then she saw a bandage wrapped around her forehead.

"Kid, is your forehead okay?

"

"I'm fine, it's not a big deal mom. I just had a small cut. I'll return to the hospital to take stitches in two days. You don't have to worry,

" Vira said, comforting her mother.

Seeing the gut-wrenching sight in front of him, Rangga felt a great pain in his heart, as if it was stabbed by a dagger. He was very sorry for what had just happened to Vira and her family. He also felt sorry for Lisa.

"Sorry, Auntie. Can I help you to clean the rest of this mess? Auntie must be tired from fixing the house all day,

" Rangga said, offering his help.

"Oh son, don't bother. This is our house,

" Vira's mother said reluctantly.

"It's okay, Auntie. Let me help clean up.

"

Lisa looked at Rangga in surprise.

"Rangga, don't you have to go to the office?

"

"I'm on a day off today, so I have nothing to do. I prefer to help you clean the house instead of doing nothing,

" Rangga bluntly said.

Lisa nodded. Everyone walked into the house that's still not completely fixed after the mobs wrecked and destroyed everything inside. Even though some spots had been tidied up, there were still many destroyed goods that were scattered in the warehouse.

Two hours passed, Rangga and Lisa finished cleaning up the messy warehouse. Everything had returned to normal as before. It's just that the stocks had been damaged and no longer worth selling.

Lisa stared blankly at the pile of torn clothes. Tears began to stream from her dark eyes. Her business was ruined, completely destroyed!

"Lis, I want to come back. Are you okay? Should I stay here with you?

" Rangga asked while touching Lisa's shoulder.

Lisa ignored him for a moment. She still couldn't believe what had just happened today.

"Lis? Are you still not feeling well?

"

"Kind of. Sorry, I'll try not to daydream,

" Lisa briefly said with her head hung low. Her face reflected deep sadness.

"If you want to head back, you can go. Thanks a lot for helping us, Rangga,

"

The man leaned over and embraced Lisa. He gently stroked Lisa's back as a sign of sympathy.

"Be careful, Lis. Don't be discouraged!

"

After the man left, Lisa returned to open the laptop and calculate the amount of losses caused by the unpleasant incident earlier. The proceeds from the sale were only sufficient to cover all losses and expenses for the supplier. Lisa was really losing, she was not getting back at all.

Even though Lisa used to work in the finance department, she didn't expect that she would experience such extreme ups and downs when she opened her own business. She still lacked experience in the business world.

Maybe entrepreneurship wasn't the suitable choice for her. Although she previously studied Economics, starting a business as a beginner really overwhelmed her. She was a complete normie in the business world, she hadn't understood nor learnt many things. Lisa also felt that she couldn't be a good entrepreneur after this unpleasant incident.

Lisa then washed her face with fresh water. She hoped that the water could at least ease the chaos that haunted her mind.

"No wonder Oscar used to be so busy that he didn't have time to spend with me,

" Lisa thought to herself.

"Being the boss of a company… you must be firm and willing to work hard to face all odds. Ah, he's not like you, Lis. You just got into a problem like this and you already feel like giving up!

"

She was silent for a moment. Why did the image of that European man reappear in her mind!? Moreover, that man had done something indecent to her some time ago. Lisa thought she had gone crazy.

The woman slapped her cheek to get out of her reverie.

"Lis, why are you thinking about Oscar again!?

"

***

The next day, Lisa came to Vira's house to bring the remaining clothes that were safe to be sold at the morning market not far from Vira's house. Even though Lisa was only able to sell it for half the price, at least the goods that survived the mass attack yesterday could return her money even though the amount was not comparable to what happened yesterday.

Today, Vira had started to recover. The sewing wound was not sore like yesterday and she must return to the hospital to get the stitches tomorrow. She helped Lisa sell the rest of the clothes in the market.

"Sis Lisa, this time we lost a lot,

" Vira said in a sad tone. Her face was like a kitten that had lost its mother.

"Looks like I've decided on something, Vir,

" Lisa firmly said.

"Decided what, Sis?

" Vira was curious, her eyes were wide open as if she had found a treasure.

"I will close our online shop. It's all destroyed because of that bitch Karina! I got an email yesterday from Tokomedia saying that our shop has a bad reputation so they are forced to take action.

"

Hearing Lisa's explanation, Vira immediately snorted in annoyance. How devastated they were because they had only opened an online shop for six months and then they were instantly crushed.

"Sis Lisa, don't give up just yet! I'll help you through all this!

" She said fiery. Vira didn't want her senior, who was once famous for being persistent in class, to give up on her work this easy. But her efforts to convince Lisa not to give up were in vain. Lisa had lost her hope of opening a new business since the incident.

"Vira,

" Lisa softly said.

"You are still young, you still have the opportunity to find job vacancies at well-known companies in Jakarta. So don't waste your time like your senior,

" Lisa looked down and shed tears.

Lisa thought that she'd made the wrong choice for choosing entrepreneurship.

"But I still want to fight for this together with you, Sister Lisa!

"

"No, don't be careless.. You need a stable job if you want to survive in this harsh and cruel capital city.

"
