Chapter 257 - Special Prize

Oscar's black Alphard was driving at full speed across the streets of the capital, which was beginning to rise from its sleep. The street lights gradually showed a warm glow on the roof of the cars passing under them.

Inside, Lisa was trying to calm herself down, feeling nervous but at the same time happy. She didn't ask too many questions about where Oscar took her to dinner. She didn't want to spoil the surprise that man had prepared for her. It must be a very luxurious and special place, she thought.

Every now and then Lisa stole glances at Oscar's face, who looked serious behind his steering wheel. The man looked straight ahead, focused on the road. Ah, how handsome and charming this man was when seen from the side, Lisa thought.

Half an hour later, they arrived at a luxury hotel in Central Jakarta. Before Oscar took Lisa to the restaurant in question, he brought a small bag and handed it to Lisa.

"Lisa, please wear this. I bought a special dress and shoes for tonight's event,

" said Oscar softly. His sexy lips were looking cute.

Lisa grabbed the bag blankly. She still couldn't believe what happened to her tonight. Dinner at a luxury hotel in the middle of the city after her long separation from Oscar? Sounds like a good idea.

Lisa immediately rushed to the toilet then changed her office clothes into a new dress and shoes. Her eyes sparkled as she took the dress from the bag— a white dress with matching shoes. It was made of expensive satin, which was soft and shimmery like the fabric of a wedding dress.

Lisa stared at herself in the new dress. She looked extraordinarily beautiful, unlike her usual self, the dress magically made her beauty shine even more. She took out her red lipstick from her tote bag and then polished her lips. Tonight, she really felt very beautiful and enchanting.

A few minutes from getting dressed, Lisa caught up with Oscar, who had been waiting for her at the poolside restaurant. The man's taste was beyond doubt. He always knew luxurious and romantic places. Not only that, his ability to find fancy restaurants with a serene atmosphere also deserved thumbs up. The poolside restaurant that Oscar chose in a luxury hotel in the middle of the city was indeed famous for its romantic atmosphere and away from the crowd. It was perfect for dates and romantic dinners.

When Lisa stepped into the doorway of the restaurant, she was immediately greeted by a friendly waitress. The waiter led her to a table where Oscar was waiting for her presence.

From a distance, Lisa found the figure of a tall, lanky man in a shiny black coat standing behind her, staring at the glint of light reflected from the water in the swimming pool. The ripple of the pool seemed to hypnotize him so that it was difficult for him to look away from there.

Lisa approached the man as he was daydreaming at the hypnotic pool's surface. She patted his broad shoulder gently as she said,

"Oscar, I'm here.

"

Oscar immediately turned around, the touch of Lisa's tiny hand woke him from his lonely reverie. He swept every inch of her body from head to toe. The woman was very charming, he thought. Oscar was unable to blink when he saw Lisa's figure in the white dress of his choice. The woman looked like an angel who had descended from heaven.

The man then took Lisa's little hand and kissed it.

"Miss Lisa, how beautiful you are tonight. I couldn't believe my own eyes,

" Oscar said, looking stunned.

Lisa blushed at the words of the man who was no less charming. Her face immediately flushed red, holding back embarrassment. Without realizing it, her red lips showed a smile.

"Oscar, you are also very charming tonight. You've always been handsome, but tonight, I don't know... There's something unusual about you,

" she said, looking down. She didn't dare look at the man's blue eyes. Lisa was too embarrassed to tell him her feelings.

A faint sound of music flowed softly from behind. When Oscar heard it, the man immediately took Lisa's hand and then hugged her hips, bringing her closer to his body from which a waft of expensive perfume aroma could be smelled.

Oscar brought his face closer to Lisa's. The man blinked very slowly when he found his lips almost joined to hers. Before he kissed Lisa's red lips, he said,

"Lisa, will you dance with me?

"

"Oscar, you know I never learned to dance. I can only dance indistinctly on the dance floor of the nightclub,

" Lisa answered doubtfully.

"No problem, I just want to spend this beautiful evening with you, dear my future wife,

" Oscar said softly. The man smiled, his smile was so sweet that it made Lisa flutter.

Along with the smooth music, Oscar guided Lisa to move and match his movements. The woman was a little nervous, she didn't know how to dance properly so she tried her best not to look awkward in front of Oscar. But the man understood her so he wouldn't make any movements that were too complicated for Lisa to follow them.

"Oscar, I don't think I'm good at dancing...

" Lisa said, stopping her movements suddenly.

"No problem, if you are uncomfortable then we should just stop,

" Oscar led Lisa back to the dining table and the two of them began ordering food. A waitress brought them two glasses of bubbly champagne and a few appetizers and then a main course.

After having dinner under the starry night sky of the capital city, Oscar ordered champagne for him and Lisa again. They both talked like a couple who just met and were in a relationship. They threw cute sentences at each other that could make their cheeks turn bright red.

Between conversations, Oscar took out a small box from his coat's pocket. The box was made of velvet dark blue. Lisa seemed to have seen the box but she couldn't remember when or where.

Oscar handed the velvet box to Lisa and said,

"I hope you like my present.

"

Lisa opened the velvet box and was surprised when she saw its contents.

"Oscar, this…. These are the earrings I have been eyeing for a long time when we were both married!

"

Oscar smiled.

"You like it?

"

"But aren't these earrings the same one you gave Clara?

" Lisa asked a little doubtfully. Her memory returned to when she found Clara wearing the same earrings.

"Yes, but she asked me to buy it. Meanwhile, this is purely from my own heart. I really wanted to buy it for you,

" Oscar explained bluntly.

"But Oscar, why are you buying me these earrings? It's not that I don't want to, it's just… Why so sudden? This dinner... This dance… What's going on?

"

Oscar was silent for a moment then cleared his throat. He looked at Lisa with a beaming face then said,

"Lisa, did you forget that today is your birthday?

"

Hearing Oscar's sentence just now made Lisa startled and gawked. How could she forget her own birthday!?

"Oscar, how do you know that today is my birthday?

"
