Chapter 15 - Offer You Can't Refuse
"Mr. Oscar!? Seriously!" Lisa was surprised to see the figure of a man she knew in the office this morning. The conversation between Lisa, Dimas, and Andien suddenly stopped when the blonde Swedish man joined them. Dimas immediately looked away and returned to mixing drinks, while Andien was still stunned to see the man.
"Gosh, how cute is my new president director." Said Andien to herself. Her eyes sparkled with astonishment at the handsome figure in front of her. She thought that Lisa was really lucky to get this man with a model face seduced.
"Lisa oh dear Lisa, just call my name when we're outside the office. Just to be more intimate." Oscar teased with a wink of his eye.
"Why are you following me? What are you doing here Oscar?" Lisa's voice began to get heavy and sounded fierce.
"I didn't follow you. I just want to drink and dance while spending time with my private secretary." Oscar put his arm around Lisa's shoulder.
Lisa brushed Oscar's hand quickly, "To hell with you Oscar! Because… because of you, my life has become more complicated!"
Oscar's fingers touched Lisa's shoulder, "Ah, why are you suddenly cruel like this, Lisa? Last Wednesday you were different."
Annoyed, Lisa kicked the Swedish man in the calf hard. Dimas accidentally saw it and chuckled.
"Oh, you can be fierce too." Oscar moaned.
"A glass of milk? You think I'm a kid?" Lisa shifted her seat to face Oscar, who rested one hand on the Bar table.
"Can't you forget that last Wednesday you were so drunk that you vomited? I can't bear to see a beautiful woman like you fall ill from drinking too much alcohol!"
"Hey, it's my business to get drunk or not!"
"This is the beer, sir." Said Dimas as he handed him a glass of beer, "Lis, I have to go now! Here is the milk. Don't get drunk anymore! Have fun! Hihihi."
"You rhino warts! Dimas!" Lisa cursed.
"Me too, Lis, I want to dance in front of there, hihi." Andien teased as she ran to the dance floor flirtatiously.
"Damn you Ndien!" Lisa damned herself. Andien and Dimas left her and Oscar alone. The atmosphere that had melted away suddenly froze since Oscar's arrival. Lisa didn't even realize that she was going to meet with the man who had a quickie with her in the same place again.
Even though Lisa deliberately went to the Sky Lounge to avoid anything related to the office, Here she met her new president instead. Lisa thought that this night was totally unexpected.
Oscar got closer and hugged Lisa again. The fragrance of his expensive perfume filled Lisa's chest cavity. It smelled like the one Lisa remembered when making love to Oscar in the toilet last Wednesday.
"Why do you think my father asked you to be my private secretary?"
"How am I supposed to understand your old man's thoughts! You're the one who understands better because you are his son!" Lisa said, annoyed. The woman then took a quick sip of her beer.
"It's obvious because I asked for you, Lisa!" Oscar continued, "You think I really didn't recognize you last Wednesday? Oh of course not! My father always tells me about you, he always says you are the best employee in the office!"
Oscar touched Lisa's tapered fingers. The woman didn't move for a moment, didn't know how to react. Oscar's hand was soft but steady at the same time. How could this be, a man who she didn't really know was able to make her heart waver between hate or love. Lisa's feelings were stirred up by this man with his appearance that resembled a model!
Suddenly, Oscar grabbed Lisa's hand and pressed it against his god-chiseled cheek. Lisa felt the texture of Oscar's cheek skin, so soft unlike the skin of other men who had been her lover, especially Aditya. Could it be that Oscar routinely took care of his facial skin?
"But women prefer to be approached slowly, don't they? That's why I pretended not to recognize you." Oscar got up from his chair and put his arm around Lisa's waist, pulling her up from her seat.
"I like you Lisa." He said softly in his deep, sexy voice, "Your personality, your physique, whatever you are." The man put his pointed nose against Lisa's neck. The woman took a deep breath and set a low groan when Oscar brought his face closer. Slowly, the man's lips moved to Lisa's ear and sucked it.
"One does not fall in love with this fast, Oscar!" Even though Lisa didn't agree with Oscar's words, her body could not deceive how she really felt. Oscar's soft and seductive touches made Lisa feel a little wanting to ask for more but at the same time refused Oscar's presence.
"Heh, you still don't get it either. Fine, I'll make an offer that you won't be able to refuse!" The man brought his sensual lips closer and said, "I want you to marry me Lisa."
"Are you crazy!?" Lisa widened her eyes like a fish out of breath, and the volume of her voice rising.
"I mean—I'm serious with you, Lisa, you think I'm kidding?"
"So by making you my private secretary, I wish you could get used to me. Think of it as training to be my future wife."
"Oscar you are crazy! I don't want to marry someone I just met, let alone a foreigner like you!" Lisa shouted out loud.
"I thought local people would like foreigners like me?" Oscar teased.
"Hey, listen," Lisa pointed at Oscar's face with her index finger, "You can be rich and exorbitantly handsome. But my decision is absolute! I don't want to marry you!" Her voice began to rise, "You are so weird Oscar! You're so cold and terrible in the office, but you are suddenly cheerful and warm when you're outside. Why do you have the heart to do this to me?!"
"Whatever, but I'm sure tomorrow or when the time comes, you will definitely come back and accept my offer!" Oscar replied.
"In your dreams, Bule!" Lisa snarled, looking away. She was fed up talking to that Swedish man. She opened the second beer can to release the nervous feeling in her heart.
"Okay, I want to dance on the dance floor. Want to come along?" Asked Oscar while smiling sweetly at Lisa.
"No, I'll just stay here! I'm tired of your hot and cold attitude!" Lisa said curtly and took another quick sip of beer.
Oscar turned around to join the crowd on the dance floor. Out of all Sky Lounge visitors, somehow, only Lisa looked the most charming in Oscar's eyes. Her seductive red lips, her seductive curves wrapped in a black shirt, her exotic olive skin. Lisa's appearance that night shook something in Oscar.
From a distance, Oscar turned to Lisa and shouted, "See you on Monday, honey!
