"You better just go back to the office, I feel sorry for your abandoned employees there."
Lisa's words just now sounded like cold water splashed on Oscar's face. Never before had he heard how cold his ex-wife was when she talked to him. It was as if Lisa ordered him to get the hell out of her face right away.
"No, Lisa, I want to accompany you here. I can work later!" Oscar replied insistently.
"Don't sacrifice your company just for a woman unworthy of all that, Oscar!" Lisa snarled as they fumbled over where the man was standing.
The room suddenly became quiet.
Suddenly, Oscar's cell phone rang, breaking the silence. The man took out his cell phone and picked up the call.
"Good morning,"
"What? The company needs me now?" he continued. "Fine, I'll be right there."
