Novel Bin Chapter 524 - You're Nothing
Indri is both a beautiful and successful woman at a young age. Before reaching the age of 30, she had been chosen as one of the Senior Unit Managers at the Better Life company. Compared to Lisa, an ordinary woman who also happens to be a new employee, Indri deserved this man more than her.
Anyone with good eyes and a brain would choose Indri over her.
Lisa herself is sure that she can make a book as thick as a novel that contains a comparison between her achievements and Indri\'s. Indri must live in a luxurious house in an elite housing estate.
From the way she dresses and her purse that always changes every day, Lisa believes that the woman\'s salary is 3 times her own. While Indri lives in a luxurious house, Lisa still lives under the roof of an apartment which sadly doesn\'t belong to her. She only has about 4 branded purses that she bought before.
The longer Lisa compares herself to Indri, the more uncomfortable her heart becomes!
At first, the woman\'s heart was already uncomfortable, feeling heavy. She\'s already accused of plagiarizing someone else\'s work, not to mention the sarcastic laughter that her colleagues threw at her whenever she walked past them. And now, hearing Oscar\'s praise made her heart feel even worse!
Lisa doesn\'t deserve praise from anyone, let alone Oscar.
For some reason, her eyes suddenly became hot and her throat felt tight. Hearing the praise from Oscar seemed to make her feel like she was being compared to Indri. Deep in her heart, Lisa knew that Oscar was only praising her out of pity.
Lisa tried hard to hold back her tears, "I swear you\'re just teeling nonsense, Oscar. You don\'t even need to praise me out of pity. You know that my career and finances have nothing to do with Indri! Do you want to embarrass me even more!?"
Her effort to hold back her tears suddenly failed miserably when she saw the guilty look on Oscar\'s face. Perhaps she was so emotional lately that she couldn\'t hold back her tears anymore.
"You damn white!" Lisa continued passionately.
With hot eyes and tightly clenched hands, she turned around. The clatter of her high heels echoed down the deserted corridor, following her pounding heart. However, before she could walk any further, she felt her body being hugged from behind.
Her tiny body couldn\'t escape Oscar\'s tight embrace as the man was much bigger than her. If Lisa wasn\'t overwhelmed with sadness and fear of hurting Oscar\'s arm, she might have bitten his arm to get him off her.
"Let go of me before I..."
Lisa was so sad that she couldn\'t finish her words.
"Lisa, I was just telling the truth. I think you are the most beautiful woman I have ever met! Money isn\'t that special, everyone has it. But you must know that you, Lisa Soewandi, have a special place in my heart!"
Oscar\'s heavy but soothing tone sounded like a melody to her ears. Hearing that made Lisa feel as if she was having dinner at a restaurant in Paris while enjoying the view of the Eiffel Tower. The man\'s voice was warm to her ears, giving her the feel of sunbathing on the beach in summer.
Since Lisa was crying so hard, her body started shaking. Her chest was moving rapidly and her throat felt tight. Her tongue felt stiff, unable to say anything for a moment.
"Then what did you mean when you said that Indri is beautiful, what\'s the point of being successful at a young age? Do you want to make fun of me? You bastard!" Lisa tried to wipe her tears with her palms, "You know that she is far more beautiful and successful than me. Come on, you don\'t have to worry about me praising me to please my heart!"
Oscar just kept silent and tightened his embrace on Lisa\'s body. His strong hands circled her slender frame. The warmth emanating from his body seemed to tell that he was here for her.
If what Oscar said earlier was true, was that a sign that he still had feelings for her? From the way he hugs her to his fingers that seemed unable to stop from gently stroking Lisa\'s arms, all of them showed that the man still had some feelings for her.
And the funny thing is, it\'s not only Oscar who still has feelings for Lisa. Because the woman herself actually still has more feelings for him.
Lisa\'s heart was beating so fast that she was sure it would pop out of her ribs in no time.
"Let go of me, you idiot!" Lisa struggled again but it wasn\'t as hard as she accidentally hurt Oscar, "Go and chase that girl! I still have a meeting I have to attend!"
For a few moments, Lisa tried to get out of Oscar\'s arms. But not long after, her strength ran out. Her strength has been running out fast because she often cries and gets angry and doesn\'t know what to do.
"Yes, Indri is indeed better and maybe more perfect than you. I know that," Oscar rested his chin on Lisa\'s shoulder, "It\'s just that, there is only you in my heart! Neither you nor anyone else can do anything to change my feelings for you, Lisa."
Oscar had no problem repeating the line over and over to get Lisa to believe him. Even if his mouth foamed from telling her how important she is in his life, Oscar doesn\'t mind it.
It would be better if he died from exhaustion but Lisa finally believed him, than to live but Lisa still didn\'t trust his feelings for her.
Of course, as Oscar had expected, the woman didn\'t believe him right away. Lisa actually chuckled in annoyance and stepped on his feet which luckily were covered by loafers.
Lisa couldn\'t believe Oscar\'s sweet words, she wouldn\'t let herself fall for it again. If the man really still has more feelings for her, why did he go to a vacation in Bali with Indri the other day? Why are they standing in front of an electronics store laughing at each other?
Are men in this world the same? Are they equally happy to lie to women?
"Hey, do you think I\'m an idiot who will immediately believe your sweet talk!?"
