Novel Bin Chapter 46 - Travel
A week later, all employees of Petersson Communication have prepared for the most anticipated day—the company anniversary celebration!
They would all stay at a well-known resort outside the city, Parahyangan Resort. It was not too far from the capital, only two hours away by bus. As president director, Oscar deliberately chose a place outside the city so that his employees were not bored with the hectic and boring metropolitan life.
Parahyangan Resort was located in the mountains with very beautiful views. Not only that, this place provided all the facilities for leisure activity, like having fun and pampering yourself in a swimming pool, spa, fine dining restaurant, even a nightclub!
How happy the Petersson Communication workers were when they could release their fatigue outside the city. Not only that, they also participated in a series of activities that they had been designed by the event organizer to get prizes! Not to mention that this event was free of charge, so they didn\'t have to spend part of their monthly salary participating in the event!
Several buses had arrived and were getting ready in the parking lot of the Petersson Communication office building. One by one the employees started to carry their belongings and put them in the trunk of the bus. Andien carried her suitcase and anxiously waited for her best friend who had not come. Hopefully, Lisa could still come even though she was pregnant.
A moment later, Lisa came through the front door! She was pulling her suitcase and waving at Andien.
"Lisa! I think you will not join in because you are \'that\'" Andien said while putting her suitcase into the trunk of the bus and helping Lisa with her suitcase.
"No, no! I\'ve only been \'that\' for two months, so it wouldn\'t be a problem to join in!"
"Haha, I thought you would live in Jakarta alone while whining from seeing my Instastory! Who would\'ve thought that we were all going on vacation outside the city!" Andien teased.
"Ugh, screw you Ndien!" Lisa pushed her best friend jokingly.
"Ah yeah, Lis, will that \'that person\' come too?"
"Yes, of course! He\'s the president!"
"I mean Lis, he\'s going to participate in events too?"
"Yesterday I asked him and he said yes, Ndien. But I don\'t know anymore, so I am leaving, he\'s not at home."
"Awww, I see as his wife, you\'re the most important person to him!"
Behind Lisa and Andien, a group of female Oscar fans were gathered waiting for the arrival of the president. They were eager to see Oscar\'s good looks up close!
Andien jokingly smacked Lisa\'s shoulder, "It\'s crazy to think you can just marry a foreigner like him. Many are queuing up to replace you!"
"You talk too much Ndien. I would not have married if I didn\'t end up with \'that\'!"
"Just kidding, Lis! Since being his secretary, it\'s hard to joke around with you, huh?"
Not long after, a black Alphard came and pulled up near the bus line. Dani opened the door and Oscar got out of the car with his cool sunglasses perched on his high nose. Dani carried Oscar\'s suitcase to the bus which Lisa happened to be riding on. How annoyed were the ranks of employees who were so desperate for Oscar to sit on their bus!
"Mr. President, why not take the number 5 bus!?"
"How come you\'re on the number 1 bus???"
"Sir, come with us on bus number 7!"
Oscar ignored the chaos of the horde of adoring female employees. He stepped into the bus number 1. Andien and Lisa were still outside the bus waiting for the luggage queue.
Lisa was a little uncomfortable having to take the same bus as Oscar. The reason was, no one knew about their marriage except Dani and Andien. And that\'s because Lisa told Andien to shut up. The woman just hoped that none of the employees would try to be curious or even meddle with her personal life!
Not far from where Lisa was standing, she saw Karina\'s figure carrying a small bag and trying to approach Oscar. \'What does that bitch want to do now?\' Lisa thought to herself.
When Oscar got into bus number 1, all the employees inside were immediately amazed. Incredibly, a well-known company president would rather sit with lower-class employees like them than ride in a private car!
All of the female employees on the number 1 bus staring fixated at Oscar. The bunch of Oscar-worshiping female employees were completely speechless at the charm and good looks of their president. It turned out that Oscar looked really handsome when seen up close!
"Mr. Oscar is sitting on our bus!" Shouted an employee who was delighted to see the figure of the man with the European blood.
"Told you, right! He must be joining this event too!" Aaid another employee.
"Yes, it\'s clear that the person who owns Petersson Communication will join the event later!" Said another employee.
The man was still standing near the bus entrance, chatting with the driver who was taking them to the Parahyangan resort. Karina, who hadn\'t chosen a seat, ran to Oscar and said, "Mr. Oscar, just sit next to me. I have prepared a pillow for you so you can sleep soundly during the trip!" Her voice was very smooth and polite. Lisa looked at Karina from a distance in annoyance.
Karina firmly believed Oscar would sit next to her. She intentionally tried to grab Oscar\'s heart so that the man would ignore Lisa and make her the best employee at Petersson Communication.
Oscar ignored Karina\'s offer. He kept walking to the back of the bus and decided to sit next to Lisa. Lisa\'s heart then started pounding. She didn\'t actually expect Oscar to sit next to her. She had to think hard to not let him get on the wrong side so as not to arouse suspicion in the eyes of her coworkers!
Karina snorted when she saw Oscar sitting next to Lisa. In her opinion, what was so special about Lisa that Oscar refused her request to sit next to her?
Karina then sat in the front seat which she had painstakingly prepared so that Oscar would sit with her. She looked at Oscar and Lisa behind him with a sharp and fierce gaze.
Half an hour after all Petersson Communication employees gathered, one by one the bus lines departed. Andien deliberately sat across from Lisa because she knew Oscar would sit next to her friend.
Lisa then looked at her best friend with a fierce gaze. She typed a message on her cell phone to Andien, "Just watch out, Ndien! My friend doesn\'t support me at all!"
"Yee, I actually support you, Lis! Happy making out with Mr. President Director!" Andien replied to her friend\'s text.
A few moments from the bus departure, Karina suddenly got up from her seat and brought a small tray of fruit to Oscar.
"Mr. Oscar, are you hungry? I brought fresh fruit!"
Oscar was not interested in her fake flattery. The man refused Karina\'s offer flatly in front of his employees, "I am not hungry!"
Karina didn\'t flinch and was greatly embarrassed.
"Oh that hurts for sure!" Said one of the idle employees on the bus.
"Really bad! Hahaha!" Another employee also chimed in.
Feeling ashamed for failing to win over the president, Karina returned to her seat in annoyance. Her eyebrows knitted together, her face turned very sour.
Oscar took his cell phone from his coat pocket and typed a message for Lisa.
"Sorry I know you are uncomfortable if I sit next to you. But I don\'t want Karina to sit next to me! Besides, I know you would be annoyed all day long if Karina really sat beside me."
Lisa read the message and smiled, "Thank you sir for saving me!" She replied to Oscar\'s text from her cellphone.
