"Where are we going?" Lisa asked, still looking through the car window in amazement when Dani didn't turn the corner after the gas station as usual.
"We're going to the jewelry shop!" Oscar interrupted her sharply, keeping his gaze straight ahead with his legs crossed.
"What do you mean we go to the jewelry shop?" Lisa asked again, this time turning her gaze to Oscar's face. That man was truly very handsome in any way she thought.
Oscar tilted his head to look at his wife. His hand grasped Lisa's and combed her tapered fingers, "You think I don't see this thing?" The man rubbed the rhinestone ring Lisa was wearing.
"Is there something wrong with my ring?" The woman shifted slightly from her seat as Oscar brought his face closer, combing her fingers. Lisa tried to keep the atmosphere between the two of them from getting awkward. But she was embarrassed instead, and it made the atmosphere even more awkward.
They just got married about two hours ago, but there were no signs of the enthusiasm of the newly married couple. The aura between the two of them was extremely awkward, it didn't even make a difference when they were in the office. Maybe even worse!
"Dear, there's absolutely a problem here. Look, you think I don't know what ring this is?" This time, Oscar's tone grew sharper. Lisa turned her gaze towards the window, trying not to stare at the pair of blue eyes that were staring at her fixedly.
"I don't want my wife to use things that are usually used by people who live in the village!" the man added, his face getting closer to Lisa's. His sharp nose stuck to Lisa's tiny nose.
The woman fell silent. Dealing with the president director of Petersson Communication, who was now officially her husband, was very difficult. Lisa didn't know what reaction Oscar would have if she responded. She could've angered him with the wrong speech. The man would get offended and give her a punishment.
Lisa swallowed hard, she ventured to explain to her husband, "Sorry, but I can't afford a real diamond ring. Before we got married yesterday, I already wore it."
"Get the ring out of this car!" Oscar ordered coldly.
"But Oscar ... I ..."
"Throw it away! Now!" His tone rose slightly. Lisa shuddered at the horror of hearing her husband, who sounded fierce and cold. She opened the auto window of the car and threw away the fake diamond ring she had bought while she was shopping at the market several years ago.
Half an hour later. The black Alphard stopped at a prestigious jewelry shop in the capital. Dani got out of the driver's seat and opened the door for Oscar and Lisa.
Lisa was stunned at the poster on the front door of the jewelry shop. Seriously, what she saw right now was a poster advertising jewelry brand Heaven & Co.'s. This jewelry brand was said to be legendary. Even famous celebrities in the capital were wearing their jewelry!
Jewelry made by Heaven & Co was known for its luxurious and very exclusive designs. They only sold one jewelry design for one buyer! In other words, the design for the diamond ring that Lisa would buy was only owned by her!
Lisa was still amazed to see the advertising poster. She didn't know what was going into Oscar at that time that he took Lisa to a legendary jewelry shop in the middle of town. Lisa was a bit amazed, were rich people allergic to using cheap things? Was that why Oscar brought her here?
"How about it? Still hesitating to go inside?" Oscar grabbed Lisa's slender wrist and ushered her in.
Lisa was really amazed at the luxury offered by the jewelry shop. Even the furniture and the shop's building were as luxurious as the jewelry they sold! If at this time Lisa had just graduated from high school, how she might not want to go home quickly after seeing the luxury that lay before her!
"Oscar, do you really want to buy a diamond ring in this shop?" Lisa asked, still in disbelief.
"Do you think a well-known and international telecom company president is willing to take you to the market to buy costume jewelry?" Oscar replied sarcastically.
Lisa just shook her head. The woman didn't understand. Imitation or not, a piece of jewelry didn't really matter for her. As long as the jewelry she wore looked good and beautiful, that's enough! But Lisa forgot that Oscar was not an ordinary person like her. Surely he had a special reason that the woman didn't understand. Lisa had no idea why her husband forced her to buy a real diamond ring.
Oscar tugged gently at Lisa to stand at one of the counters. An employee greeted him politely and warmly. Lisa, who was standing beside Oscar, looked around the counter. She looked at the rows of diamond rings neatly arranged behind the glass case.
"Good afternoon sir, how can I help you?" Asked an employee when he saw a tall, slender figure standing in front of the counter. Oscar looked down at the employee's face with a flat expression.
"I'm looking for a diamond ring that is suitable for my wife, can you please help my wife find one?" He replied in Indonesian.
The employee was surprised to see that the man of European descent could speak Indonesian. He then immediately invited Lisa to look around while choosing. Then, Lisa's eyes were fixed on one of the diamond rings on display.
"Wow, this sister has good taste, huh! The ring in front of this sister is one of the 3 rings worn by artist Syahrani and the wife of lawyer Hotman Berlin! Only 3 were made, sis, the diamonds used are rare diamonds!" The shop clerk explained enthusiastically. The way he spoke was quite convincing, "The price is only 100 million rupiah, sis!"
Lisa was surprised to hear the price. Actually, she didn't care about the history behind the diamond ring she saw. The woman loved the diamond ring, which was said to have only 3 pieces in Indonesia because she really liked the design! It was a diamond solitaire with a silver ring. Lisa had never seen anything like this, she really wanted that ring!
Lisa looked at the ring in front of her for a long time, then returned to consider it. Lisa understood that Oscar's wealth would not run out for seven generations. But she didn't want to waste that kind of money just on a diamond ring!
"Sister, do you want to try it?" Asked the friendly employee.
"Oh no, thank you!" Lisa refused, then Oscar told her to try the diamond ring.
"I didn't bring you here to waste my precious time!" Oscar glared at Lisa.
"Eh, alright then, I want to try that one!"
The clerk immediately took the ring, and handed it to Lisa. Incredibly, the diamond ring looked prettier when Lisa wore it.
"Wow, you really match that exclusive ring!" The employee praised her, trying to convince Lisa to buy the ring.
"Oscar, are you sure about this ring?" Lisa asked.
The man nodded, "You can take other jewelry too if you want!"
Lisa's eyes sparkled. She went back to looking for what jewelry she would bring home with her diamond ring.
"I want these diamond earrings please, oh and this necklace too!" The clerk immediately got Lisa earrings and a diamond necklace that matched her diamond ring.
The clerk then invited Lisa and Oscar to pay at the front checkout. Without saying much, Oscar immediately took out his credit card. Lisa's eyes widened as she saw Oscar handing over his credit card just like that. The man bought her fancy jewelry as if buying turnip greens at the market.
The clerk swiped his card and handed over the package of jewelry Lisa had just selected.
Oscar handed the parcel to Lisa, "Don't forget to use it later!" The man's eyes were fixed on Lisa's smooth neck. He wanted to bite his wife's neck.
After leaving the jewelry shop, they returned to the car and drove somewhere. Lisa was happily staring at the gift she was holding. Her heart was filled with immense joy that afternoon.
"Thank you so much for the jewelry, Oscar." Lisa said softly.
"No need, the important thing is you are happy. You like the jewelry, right?" Oscar asked dryly.
Lisa nodded feeling happy. She wore her ring, earrings, and necklace in front of Oscar who was glancing at her. 'My God, this woman is very beautiful.' The man thought.
"Lisa, I still have one more surprise for you." The man stroked his wife's hand gently. His eyes stared at Lisa with a burning passion.
"We don't go back home right away?"
"No dear, I want to take you somewhere. Just the two of us." The man kissed his wife's palm. Lisa brought her warm body closer and embraced him.
"Don't worry dear, I brought you a change of clothes in the trunk!"
