Lisa couldn't understand the man's way of thinking. Did he think she was an easy woman that he could easily get back? After everything that happened between them, of course she wasn't one he could toy with!

'Oscar Petersson, don't expect to get my heart back so soon!' Lisa growled in her heart.

"If Dani comes in, that's fine. He can see us or get out of here, it's up to him." Oscar replied lightly.

Bang!!

Before Lisa could curse him, they heard the door being opened from outside. Suddenly, the two turned and saw who dared to enter in the midst of their debate.

"Ah, sorry, forgive me!" Dani looked down and picked up some documents that had fallen on the floor. "I didn't mean to go into Mr Oscar's room so suddenly. It was just that I tripped over my own feet so I-"

Lisa took the opportunity to straighten her messy hair. The woman immediately turned around, trying not to show her face which was definitely redder than a monkey's ass to Dani. 

Then the woman laughed dryly and started to pack her luggage, "It's okay, Dani. Just relax."

When Dani stood up straight and finally saw the atmosphere in Oscar's room with his own eyes, the man knew something was wrong. Especially when he saw Oscar's blushing cheeks and the wide smile that still lingered on the man's lips. His premonition grew stronger when he looked away and saw Lisa standing with her back to him.

"…Did I come at the wrong time?" Danny asked quietly. At first, he pointed the question to Oscar. But it turns out Lisa reacted faster.

"Come at the wrong time- Oh Dani what are you talking about!" Lisa turned around and finally Dani could see the look on the woman's face. Her cheeks were flushed and her lipstick looked messy. "Yes, obviously you came at the right time!"

Instead of having Oscar or Dani continue the conversation that made Lisa uncomfortable, the woman quickly changed the topic. 

"Hey, have you bought breakfast?"

Dani put the document on the table along with the plastic bag containing the rice bowl he bought in front of the hospital earlier. Maybe because it was still too early, there weren't many food vendors. There are only sellers of rice bowls and also children's toys.

"Earlier, I bought the rice bowl in front." Danny replied awkwardly. He didn't know what to do now. Should he leave for a while or stay in the room? He didn't know.

"It must be delicious! By the way, since you're already here, I will go to work first!"

Lisa took her tote bag and the small bag containing the still dirty porridge container. Maybe she'll wash it in the office pantry. If she is still lingering in Oscar's room, she could be late to the office!

Her name just got worse at the office.

Especially after what happened yesterday. Maybe all her co-workers will mock her behind her back. Who knows, maybe they've already made a petition to get her kicked out of the Better Life company.

"Be careful, Miss Lisa." Danny said politely. 

Lisa cleared her throat, "I'll leave Oscar at your care, okay? At least I'll be here with William later."

"You'll be here again with William this afternoon, so don't forget to bring me dinner, okay?" Oscar interrupted enthusiastically. His face looks so bright and happy. "Or if you want, you can come at noon and bring me lunch! You know what my favorite food is, right?"

Lisa turned her head and hissed, "I don't want to be your slave!"

Without letting the man reply, Lisa immediately rushed out of the room. Her blood pressure could skyrocket if she lingered in the same room with that man any longer!

"Bringing your lunch? Dinner? Does he think I'm his slave or what?" 

After Lisa left the room, the big smile on the man's lips faded away. He looked at Dani and waited for the man to sort out the documents he asked for last night. When several papers were in his hand, the man's attention fell to the first page.

"So, how is it?" Oscar asked seriously.

"Your plan is almost 100 percent complete, sir. This morning, I was acquainted with the CEO of the company where Mrs. Lisa works. He said he was willing to work with you. I've also met Mrs. Lisa's colleagues and scared them."

This morning, before Dani bought breakfast at the hospital gate, the man visited the Better Life company. He had no other reason other than to find out the ins and outs of that big company. Who would've guessed that the CEO admired Oscar. 

With the appendage of Oscar Petersson's name, Dani could easily make an appointment with the CEO. Before he left the company in the city center, he didn't forget to visit the floor where Lisa worked.

As Oscar had ordered, the man warned all of Lisa's colleagues who happened to be there to at least treat Lisa well if they wanted to stay alive.

"Good, I just want to hear some good news tomorrow." Oscar's reply was short.

Even though it was a simple sentence, there was a threatening tone behind the sentence that just left his lips. Danny nodded his head quickly.

"Sir, don't worry, I have handled everything well."

Oscar cleared his throat, "Which work do I have to finish now?"

Even though he was lying in the hospital's bed, it didn't mean the man took his eyes off his work. He is the CEO of Petersson Communications. He still had employees he had to monitor and not to mention the work piling up on his desk. 

"Here, sir." Danny replied quickly. The man opened his briefcase and took out several clear folders containing Oscar's work.

***

Meanwhile, in the Better Life office building.

During the journey from the hospital to the office, Lisa's heart felt heavy and indecisive. Surya is now behind bars for his actions. She couldn't imagine what would happen in the office now. What she knew for certain was that her colleagues would hate her even more.

"Oh, I'm so dead." Lisa grumbled before opening the door.. "If I'm being scolded to death, it's okay, I'll not back down since I'm not wrong. Cheer up, Lisa!"
