Capítulo 23: Monitored
The next day, Lisa went to work using her flagship public transportation— the Busway. The morning was quite busy, unlike two days ago. One by one, the passengers who had been waiting to enter through the bus stop gate were crammed. Lisa, who was holding the bus handle, suddenly tripped over the leg of a crowded passenger.
'Shit' She thought, irritated seeing her black high heels scratched.
Dani Sihotang, Oscar's personal assistant and bodyguard, should have escorted and picked her up. Especially since Lisa became pregnant, Oscar was increasingly protective of the safety and health of his personal secretary.
But Lisa preferred to take public transportation to reduce traffic and pollution, as well as avoid suspicion from her mother. She couldn't properly do a job later if her mother found out that she was being picked up by someone with muscular build and had a face like a bouncer.
The busway was very crowded. There was almost no space between one passenger and another. Lisa was crushed by an older woman—a fat mother and a middle-aged man. Sweat started pouring out of Lisa's temples. Arriving at the office, Lisa's makeup would definitely mess up and be covered in sweat! She instantly regretted her choice to take the busway instead of being picked up by Dani.
The journey from the bus stop to the Petersson Communication building was still less than half an hour away. Lisa was tired of supporting her body standing on the busway holding the bus handle. Her legs started to ache when standing for a long time wearing high heels. The big older woman who squeezed her increasingly pinched her slim body until it felt so tight. Lisa took a deep breath and exhaled hard. She hoped that she wouldn't pass out before she arrived!
Lisa lowered her head for a moment, lifted it slowly and found a man who looked familiar standing about two meters from where she was now. The man was staring blankly at one of the busway windows. His skinny body and almost bald white hair instantly ignited Lisa's most painful memories.
'Oh no, why is father here!?' She said to herself, shocked and furious.
Lisa averted her gaze quickly. She didn't want her father to see her in the same vehicle. Her heart started pounding very fast. Her father's cruel and heartless figure made Lisa want to beat up the ugly old man. However, in order to maintain the calm and safety of other passengers, Lisa chose to turn her back and pretended not to see him.
'Come on, hurry up! I can't take it anymore!' She muttered impatiently inside the cramped bus.
After an hour and a half trip, Lisa finally arrived at the bus stop near the office. The woman immediately rushed across the pedestrian bridge and entered the office area. Her high heels were scuffed. She should have put on a pair of new sneakers when she got to the office.
Entering an office building, Lisa was greeted by insults and greetings as usual. She walked hurriedly to the elevator before 5 minutes was too late.
She pressed the elevator button quickly. Sweat poured from her forehead, her breath was gasping.
That morning, Oscar had not arrived in his office. Even though he always came earlier than Lisa. no one knew what had made the man late. 'Maybe the road is jammed.' Lisa thought. While waiting for the president to come, Lisa turned on the computer and took out a large folder filled with sheets of paper.
After a few minutes, Oscar stepped in hastily. This time he was not wearing a coat. 'Praise be to God and all his creation, this shiny blonde-haired creature is getting more and more charming.' Lisa said in her mind. How could she not? The man's athletic body was wrapped in a dark blue turtleneck that revealed a muscular silhouette, combined with gray trousers with matching fabrics.
Lisa looked at the man's beautiful body for a long time from where she sat in amazement. A spark of desire to touch the man's broad chest emerged from her mind, 'Oh let me massage your sturdy arms Oscar.' She said to herself. The woman swallowed hard.
From his seat, Oscar turned and stared at Lisa who was still dumbfounded. The man gave Lisa a seductive smile.
Suddenly, Lisa realized from her reverie, "Forgive me sir, I was—" not finished talking, Oscar had already interrupted Lisa.
"Looking at my beautiful body?" He interrupted with confidence. His seductive full lips tugged.
"Ah, you are too confident sir!" Lisa snorted, embarrassed to be caught.
"Come on, it's been a month you worked with me of course I know you!"
The woman immediately looked away and returned to wrestling with the computer screen. The pile of papers on her desk made her heart pound. 'Going home late again.' She thought.
Late in the afternoon, Lisa was still struggling with her agenda and computer. Her job of recording the correspondence list had not yet been completed. The woman suddenly sighed, her hands stopped typing and massaged her temples. Lisa's performance had decreased since her pregnancy.
Oscar saw her looking sluggish and then said, "Lisa, why don't you just get some rest? You're pregnant right now. Later, if you fall sick, don't you feel bad for the child in your womb?"
"But the list is not complete, sir?" Lisa asked weakly.
Hearing Lisa's limp voice, Oscar looked at her with a worried expression, "Nevermind, you eat first. After eating, you come back here and rest. I'm fine with that."
"Okay, I will excuse myself to the canteen first..."
Shortly after Lisa went down to the cafeteria on the ground floor, Oscar called Dani to immediately go to his room. The tall, burly man then stepped inside. His steps were very heavy, even the vibrations from his steps were felt inside the room.
"You call me, Mr. Oscar?" The giant asked politely.
Oscar rested his chin with a serious gaze. His back was slightly inclined forward, "I want you to continue monitoring Lisa. Don't let her other coworkers harm her!"
The giant in the black coat nodded understandingly without saying a word then immediately left the room.
