Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

The day that office employees had been waiting for had arrived, it\'s time for Lisa to pamper herself a little after a busy week struggling with financial reports.

This morning, Lisa planned to change her appearance after she hadn\'t had the chance for self-care. She planned to go to the salon to change her hairstyle, which had not changed since then. According to her, now was the right time.

Around 9 am, Lisa rushed to the bus stop to catch a taxi. While waiting for it, Lisa looked around her with lazy eyes and accidentally found a husband and wife. They were in their 40s, carrying boxes filled with instant noodles and groceries.

The couple looked very affectionate even though they just worked a job with the lowest pay rate. Both of them looked simple, only dressing modestly. But from a distance, Lisa could feel the deep love between the two.

Lisa was stunned at the couple across the street. If only her love story ended beautifully like them. It didn\'t matter how much money her future husband had, what matters most to Lisa was how loyal and loving the man was to her.

Lisa was not like most women in the capital. She couldn\'t be blinded by wealth alone. Lisa was not a woman who was easily bought with a fortune. She realized that she was not an object that money could buy. She had pride and did her best to take care of herself.

A taxi finally pulled over, waking Lisa from her daydream. She immediately went up and looked along the way, looking for a salon that was not too expensive for her wallet.

About ten minutes later, the taxi pulled over and Lisa got off in front of a salon. She stared at the less attractive building with raised eyebrows. She hoped that even though the building was not as good as the ones in Jakarta, the services provided would be no less good.

Without much thought, Lisa immediately stepped in and turned her head sweeping the room. The interior looked nice enough for a salon at the outskirts of the town. It\'s not fancy but it\'s not bad either.

Looking confused, the owner immediately approached Lisa and said, "Hey, come to our salon. Do you want to get a haircut or a creambath?"

Lisa was surprised to see the owner. A man with a grim face but talked flirtatiously like a woman. At first glance, the man looked like a thug but with a friendly smile and good personality.

"I just want to cut my hair," Lisa said. The man invited her to sit in one of the chairs while waiting for her turn. 

Lisa stared at her face in the mirror blankly. Was this the shape of her face all this time? The face of a woman whose heart was always hurt by the people she loved, especially the men who had stopped in her life once.

Lisa\'s memory started to wander into the past. Sometimes, flashes of unpleasant events in the past embarrassed her so much that it made her nauseous. 

Lisa really wanted to get rid of her past self image. According to her, cutting her hair and changing her overall appearance could remove bad luck from the past. She was also fed up with her appearance that hadn\'t changed since she graduated from college. Long black hair that was always tied back in a bun. It looked too stiff and boring, she thought, staring at the mirror.

While waiting for the stylist to arrive, she grabbed one of the piles of magazines. Lisa flipped the pages quickly, taking a look at the latest hairstyles.

Not long after, the owner came with scissors and other equipment to where Lisa was sitting. The man smiled as he touched Lisa\'s thick black hair and asked, "How about it, do you know what style you want?"

Lisa showed the model from the magazine she was reading just now to the owner. The man leaned over, paying close attention to the hairstyle Lisa showed him closely. The man\'s brows furrowed, his arms crossed.

"Honey, that doesn\'t really suit you. Bobs are only suitable for those with oval faces. What if you just cut it shaggy?" The salon owner said, disagreeing with Lisa\'s choice.

"I don\'t care, I want this one, bro! I only want this one!" Lisa exclaimed firmly without the slightest hesitation.

"Are you serious? Fine then. But if it doesn\'t suit you, don\'t ask for a refund," the flirtatious salon owner replied while clicking his tongue.

"Yes, I know. Just cut it!" Lisa replied firmly.

She spent almost two hours at the salon, cutting and dyeing her black hair with brown chestnut like most Korean artists. After washing and drying her hair, Lisa looked at her new appearance in the mirror with satisfaction. She smiled when she saw the result was unexpected and far exceeded her expectations.

"Wow, it turns out that you\'re right. You really fit this bob cut!" The salon owner was quite surprised.

"I didn\'t realize that it would turn out really good like this! Thank you!" Lisa replied, feeling satisfied.

Leaving the salon with great satisfaction and a happy heart really made her day. Lisa was waiting again at the taxi stop. Then she decided to go to the shopping center to buy new clothes. It had been a long time since she bought new clothes after moving to Bekasi.

There were not as many cool clothing shops as in Jakarta, but there was one shopping center in Bekasi that had clothes with no less good quality.

Arriving at the shopping center in question, Lisa walked around the building until she found what seemed to be the most expensive boutique among hundreds others there.

Without thinking, Lisa walked in and swept the boutique in admiration.

An assistant then came over to her and greeted her with a friendly manner. She helped Lisa by offering some of the latest collections that she might want to wear.

"Sis, try our newest model. This is inspired by Korean style! I see you like Korea, right?" The girl said.

The clothes were casual knee length dresses which were very popular thanks to the spread of Korean dramas. The assistant was clever to consider that Lisa\'s new haircut suited Korean style dresses.

Lisa had never tried Korean style clothes before. So, she grabbed some dresses offered by the girl then tried it on. To her amazement, it was unexpected that they turned out to be so compatible with her new hairstyle.

When Lisa came out of the fitting room, the girl praised her until she was tempted to bring home one.

"Do you want to try another model perhaps? Try this one," the girl said, handing Lisa another casual dress. The difference was, this second dress had floral patterns, looking very sweet and feminine.

Lisa tried on the dress again but then she frowned. According to her, this dress with a floral pattern didn\'t suit her.

"I don\'t think I\'ll take this one," Lisa said spontaneously while handing back the dress.

"So which one are you going to buy?"

"How much is this one?"

"The original price is 500,000 rupiah, but since there is a discount, it is 499,000," the assistant explained.

Lisa was surprised to hear the price. The clothes cost nearly a quarter of her basic salary at her new job. Not to mention that she had to split half of her salary to support her family in Jakarta. But Lisa occasionally pampered herself, so she was willing to spend 500,000 rupiah for good quality clothes.

"Self-reward every now and then won\'t hurt, right?" Lisa said to herself as she took out her debit card.
