Chapter 284 - Would You Marry Me?

Oscar immediately took Lisa to the hospital, just in case the wound on her forehead needed stitches because it was torn inside. Fortunately, after she was rushed to the ER, her forehead did not have a deep tear. So the doctor only sewed a few stitches to the wound on Lisa's forehead, then allowed her to go home.

"Oscar, why did you come to my office all of a sudden? What a coincidence,

" she asked curiously.

Oscar held the wheel of his car calmly—no, the man was trying to be calm. He almost beat Rangga and Maria to a pulp at the Colors Advertising office. Seeing Lisa fine even though she had to end up with stitches on her forehead at least made his anger which had been boiling began to calm down.

"You picked up my phone earlier, right? I didn't hear your voice at all but I heard a woman's voice yelling at you from across. You don't know how worried I was. What if you get killed at the office!

"

Oscar's anxiety just sounded exaggerated to Lisa's ears, but she was happy that her future husband was so caring and fully responsible.

"Don't overdo it. I can still stand and joke like now,

" Lisa replied casually, trying to cheer up Oscar.

"Exaggerated!? Lisa, didn't you see yourself in your office earlier? Your forehead is torn because Rangga's wife beat you and accused you! Now you said I'm exaggerating???

" Oscar shrieked.

"Hey hey... calm down, Oscar… Calm down… I promise I'll be more careful. I didn't know that Maria intended to beat me up in the office, so I let my guard down,

" Lisa replied softly.

"I don't want you to get hurt anymore, it's enough I saw you getting hurt too often.

"

Oscar's mind returned to the memory of the past which was very dark and gloomy. When he married Lisa for the first time, that man only treated her as an object of endless sexual desire. However, over time, this simple woman was able to melt his heart, which had been frozen for too long.

Not only that, he didn't really give Lisa the love and affection he should have in the past. Oscar wouldn't repeat his mistakes again. No, not in the future.

"Thank you... Thank you for caring about my safety,

" Lisa replied softly.

***

Lisa rested at home for almost a week. Oscar did not want to endanger her life by letting her work at Rangga's place, so he went directly to Colors Advertising and arranged for Lisa's resignation letter. You could say, now Lisa was an unemployed person but still held the title of the future wife of the multinational telecommunication company president director, Oscar Petersson.

The wound on her forehead was healing quickly. It didn't feel like it was just yesterday that she had it sewn up and now Lisa suddenly turned unemployed. She was tired of being at home all day doing nothing. Her activities for a week at this house revolved around watching TV, eating, reading, and daydreaming in the family room.

Today, Oscar told her that he would come home late at night because of overtime. So, tonight Lisa didn't have to wait for him to come home late at night.

These days would be the most boring days in her life. Lisa then grabbed her cellphone, opened the latest gossip site and then accidentally saw a headline that made her dumbfounded.

"The wife of a foreigner president turns out to be an ordinary woman!

"

"Lisa Soewandi, Former Employee of Petersson Communication Company Turns Out the Wife of the Company's President Director Himself!

"

"Viral! A Multinational Telecommunication Company Employee Is Married to Her Caucasian Boss!

"

Lisa was amazed to read the headlines of these gossip news. In just a week, since Oscar revealed their relationship in front of Rangga's employees, her name had skyrocketed in the media.

Her curiosity was getting bigger, Lisa then read some of the gossip news then read various comments from netizens.

"Damn, that's got to be just the money!

"

"AAAAA OSCAR PETERSSON! WHY SHOULD HE MARRIED A DAMN PEASANT??

"

"It's nothing new, Caucasians tend to look for exotic girls..

"

"I bet their marriage won't survive its 3rd month!

"

"Crazy! This is too good to be true!

"

"What a useless news!

"

"Poor girl. Maybe she's desperate to marry a president of Caucasian descent!

"

"I can't stop thinking why this president director is so stupid by marrying his own employee?

"

Reading bad comments from netizens made Lisa stunned until her tongue was out and her throat was choked. She did not think that Oscar was quite famous in the capital even though he was a foreigner.

While reading down, Lisa came across a long comment from an anonymous netizen that read,

"Why are you all so judgemental towards Oscar's wife? I mean, that's Oscar's life, what do you like him to do? After all, you all don't know about his life personally, so don't get too excited. I'm telling you, I have known Oscar from the time we were in college. The two of them deliberately go out in the back so that you guys don't make noise like pigs. They both have loved each other from college for almost 7 years.

"

Reading the comments just now made Lisa a little calmer, as if the person who wrote the comment was defending her. She put her cell phone on the table in the living room and lay down on the soft and wide sofa. Her eyes stared at the ceiling while she tried calming her mind.

Without realizing it, the front door opened. Someone was entering and approaching Lisa who was lying on the soft sofa. A tall, lanky man stood beside her, staring at her dreamy face.

"Why are you smiling?

" Oscar asked, confused.

Lisa was immediately surprised to see that figure staring at her. She then got up and laughed lightly.

"Eh, I just read the latest gossip news... It's viral!

"

Oscar threw himself down on the sofa, unbuttoning his jacket.

"So what? What makes you smile?

"

Lisa then realized that she didn't want to make Oscar more anxious or panic about the viral gossip news. She then racked her brain to find other answers to divert Oscar's curiosity.

"Umm... Turns out you are famous, huh? I did not think that almost half of Jakarta knew you,

" Lisa replied, lying.

Oscar snorted.

"I know what you think. The news about our relationship went viral, right?

"

Hearing Oscar's words just now made Lisa surprised. She did not expect him to know that he was viral in the media.

"Never mind, don't worry too much. Besides, we will get married in the near future,

" Oscar replied with a sweet smile.

The man moved from where he was sitting and then pulled Lisa's body so that the woman would lie on top of him.

"In fact, I'm more interested in getting to know you better, Lisa,

" he said in his deep, sexy voice.

Lisa swallowed hard when her eyes landed on Oscar's collar, which had been partially opened, showing off his broad chest that was too tantalizing to resist.

"Oscar, what do you mean... We already know each other, right?

" Lisa hesitated, she accidentally stared at Oscar's crotch which was starting to bulge.

Oscar put his sensual lips close to Lisa's ear then whispered,

"Lisa, let's get married this week ..

"

Hearing Oscar's words just now made Lisa's face turn red.

"Oscar, I didn't hear you wrong, right? You're not kidding, are you?

"

"Do I look like I'm kidding?

" Oscar asked back.

"Eh, that's not it, but... I really want to marry you, it's just... Ouch... I think I still need some time to think again...

" Lisa's voice showed doubt.

"Isn't this the moment you've been waiting for?

" Oscar asked sternly. His left hand stroked Lisa's seductive waist.

"After all, everyone in Jakarta has started to know, so we should not delay it, dear....

"
