"Oh, my God!

" Lisa was surprised to hear the words of the man in the gray shirt.

"I remember now! You are Bastian Adiprawira, right?

" She pointed at the man with her index finger.

The man nodded.

"That's right, Sis! Oh by the way, can I have your cell phone number? Just in case you need more help with your computer,

" Bastian handed a piece of paper to Lisa.

The man reached into his shirt pocket and took out something.

"Here's my name card for Ms. Lisa.

"

Lisa received it and read the neatly arranged row of letters and numbers.

"Thank you, Bastian! Later, if I need help, I'll definitely call you again. Once again, thank you very much for your help!

"

Lisa looked happy even though she also felt a little embarrassed. She repeatedly bowed her head to Bastian.

The man waved his hand at Lisa and said,

"Alright then, I shall go back to my room again. Excuse me,

"

Almost immediately the finance department room was quiet again as before.

Riani looked at the beaming Lisa with a fierce gaze. She kept staring at Lisa, hoping something bad happened to her.

"Fortunately, your computer's fixed, Sis. If it weren't for Bastian, all of your files might've been lost,

" Sarah said from her desk.

"You're right. He was able to find the problem with the computer's screen and quickly fixed it,

" Lisa returned to her desk chair and typed skillfully.

Sarah then leaned closer towards Lisa and whispered,

"Sis, don't you think it's a bit strange? I mean, isn't it just your computer that has a problem? Nobody else here has it,

"

Lisa then looked at Sarah with sceptic eyes. She didn't understand what her colleague said just now.

"What do you mean, Sar?

"

"Come to think of it, Sis. Don't you think someone is behaving strangely in this room since earlier?

" Sarah asked, leaning herself even more towards Lisa.

Lisa finally realized the implied meaning of Sarah's words just now after the woman rolled her eyes towards Riani.

From her desk far from Lisa's, Riani looked at the two women who were gossiping with sharp and cynical eyes. She felt extremely uncomfortable and so the atmosphere around her turned unpleasant.

Lisa was not a fool, she knew that even though she didn't have solid evidence, Riani was definitely the culprit. She must've had something to do with the sudden computer screen problem. The gloomy-faced woman seemed to be deliberately hampering Lisa's performance just for fun.

However, Lisa didn't bother to confront her. What Riani did was not comparable to what Clara had done when Lisa was still working at Petersson Communication.

There was no point for Lisa to argue with an attention-hungry senior like Riani.

"Alright, that's enough. The most important thing is that my computer is on again. Now go and fetch me the archive from two years ago,

" Lisa firmly said.

'What a strange day,' Lisa thought.

***

Time flew so fast, the clock showed it was already 5 pm. All of Lisa's work that day was finally done. It's all thanks to the help of Bastian and his magic hands. Finally, the woman could breathe freely when she got back to her boarding house.

After work, Lisa stopped by the supermarket to buy some groceries and facial care products. She wanted to pamper herself when she got to the boarding house! Lisa had not taken care of her body for a long time since she was busy working hard to earn a living for her little family.

Coming out of the supermarket, Lisa decided to just walk. The late afternoon breeze came and blew her shiny black hair.

When she walked down the sidewalk, Lisa saw a very familiar woman walking from the other side of the sidewalk towards her.

The more she walked closer to Lisa, the clearer her face and stature became. The woman was tall and slender and carried a grocery bag in her hand.

When the two of them passed, Lisa deliberately didn't say hello and didn't glance at the woman's face. She just stared straight ahead with steady steps as if she didn't recognize the woman she had just passed.

Feeling unnoticed, the tall slender woman turned her head and called out to Lisa.

Lisa totally ignored her. She did not want to have a relationship with a woman who had hurt her and made her suffer.

The woman was getting annoyed with Lisa's indifference. She took a breath and shouted at Lisa from a distance.

"Don't pretend you don't know me, you bitch!

"

Hearing that offensive shout made Lisa's ears hot. She stopped in her steps then turned her body to face the tall slender woman. Her eyes were fixed on the beautiful and white face of the woman in front of her.

"What do you want, Clar?

" Lisa replied lazily. Her face didn't show any emotion.

"Do you think I don't know your relationship with Oscar? You and Oscar have long been divorced. Don't you dare seduce my lover! Why don't you have any shame?

" Clara walked over to Lisa with a condescending look.

Lisa turned back not to look at the demonic woman's face.

"You're drunk, just go home and saddle your white boyfriend's lap.

"

Her voice sounded calm and flat. There was absolutely no pressure or anxiety from the vibrations.

"Don't tell me what to do! I understand why my lover rarely comes home lately. Surely he's seeing you, Lisa!

" She charged with fiery eyes.

"I know Oscar came to you and played behind my back!

"

Lisa only snorted after hearing Clara's baseless accusation.

"Hey, didn't you say it yourself that you love and know him more than anyone? How come you don't know his rotten attitude?

" Lisa asked condescendingly.

"Y...You!

" Clara's throat felt like it was choking. She was unable to reply to Lisa's final, striking sentence. The demonic woman blinked in rage then said,

"You old woman! Keep your dirty hands away from Oscar!

"

"Wow…wow... Calm down… Calm down… Instead of getting annoyed and accusing me for seducing your foreign boyfriend, it's better if you follow him wherever he goes. See for yourself how lecherous he is,

" Lisa said with a grin on the edge of her lips.

This was the first time Lisa could face Clara with a cool head.

Lisa continued her steps again so that she quickly got to the boarding house and got away from the demonic woman. She took a little pride in herself when she managed to annoy Clara with an indifferent response.

"Hey Lisa! Don't try to run away from this conversation! I'm not done yet!

" Clara rushed over to Lisa when the woman was strolling casually along the sidewalk.

Lisa then stopped her steps again and turned around with a bored sigh.

"Clara, let me tell you this. I suggest you just go back to your house or go to your foreign boyfriend's office, then don't forget to check where that man's going. Don't randomly accuse me with your slander like this. You think your white boyfriend is pure and innocent?

" Lisa replied confidently.

Hearing Lisa's calm and relaxed intonation made Clara's confidence shake. The demonic woman gritted her teeth.

"Enough with your bull**, bitch!

"
