The next day at the office, Lisa could still taste the burnt meat of Oscar''s failed fried Rendang. It felt like she wanted tough whenever she remembered that strange burnt taste in her mouth.
Although it lingered in her mouth for a long time, she couldn''t forget how sweet and caring Oscar wasst night. She could not hold back from feeling butterflies in her stomach until she blushed by herself in the office.
Not far from where she was sitting, Sarah approached her desk while leaning over and said, "Hey Sis Lisa, why are you smiling early in the morning?"
Hearing Sarah''s annoying question just now made Lisa roll her eyes with a snort. "What else do you want, Sar?"
"I think Mr. Rangga likes you. How about it? Don''t you want to approach Mr. Rangga to be his wife?" Sarah asked curiously.
"I''ve told you a thousand times, my rtionship with Mr. Rangga is just between boss and subordinates. Nothing more! Don''t make weird gossip!"
A few momentster, Lisa''s cell phone rang. There''s an iing message from Oscar. Without thinking, she grabbed her cell phone and read the message.
Oscar: Don''t forget to eat lunch. A courier wille to your office to bring lunch for youter. Have fun working, dear.
Lisa smiled shyly reading the message. Not long after that, the office''s security guard entered the finance department room and handed over a parcel to Lisa.
"This is for you, Ms. Lisa, I think it contains food," said the security guard.
Lisa typed a reply message to Oscar. She could not hide the expression on her flowery face and blushing.
Lisa: Mr. President Director seems to have too much free time in his hands at the office, huh? How did you have time to chat with the finance manager of anotherpany?
Oscar: What is your name Miss? I''ll p your ass tonight.
Lisa: You naughty President Director ~
Oscar: Don''t forget to eat, otherwise you will get weak.
Lisa: Aye, Mr. President!
Oscar: By the way Lisa, I want to take you to Stockholm, Sweden tomorrow Friday. Grandma wants to see you.
After Lisa read thest message from Oscar, she immediately fell silent. Oscar''s grandma wanted to meet her? Thest time Lisa met Oscar''s biological mother, the tall, golden-haired middle-aged woman did not end so well. Lisa was very nervous, especially since she had to leave her homnd for the first time just to meet one of Oscar''s family members.
Feeling heartbroken but getting a pounding heartbeat, Lisa continued her conversation with Oscar.
Lisa: Oscar, howe you tell me this sudden! I''m not even ready yet. What is Sweden like? Geez, what if I embarrass your family?
Oscar: Just take it easy, as long as you obey and follow me everything will run smoothly!
Lisa: Okay, I trust you

That afternoon the sun curved down the horizon beautifully. The orange tinge that blended with the dark blue sky added to the serene atmosphere.
After returning from work, Lisa promised to meet Andien at Sunbucks to unwind. It had been a long time since she talked to her best friend, they both happened to have free time after work so they decided to hang out for a cup oftte.
"Crazy, my work in the office has piled up for several weeks. Luckily, I''ve finished them all. Your Caucasian boyfriend is a bit annoyed when he''s giving a job," Andienined and then sipped her cappino cup slowly.
"Yeah, yeah, I know it but still, he is your boss. If he gives you a casual job then just take it easy! Otherwise you can cause thepany to mess up like the other one he''s been coborating with!" Lisa said, snorting.
"You mean Rangga''spany?" Andien asked curiously.
"No! I''m talking about thepany that gets into the news because of bankruptcy!"
"Oh my! I thought you were talking about your current working ce. Eh, by the way, Lis, I read it yesterday on the inte, it said the area of ??your family''s old house is now going to be demolished because it was bought by a foreign investor. They said they wanted to turn it into an apartment or real estate. Luckily, you and your family have moved to a new ce. If not, you could''ve died homeless or getting overwhelmed by the rent for a new apartment!" Andien said spontaneously.
"Huh for real !?" Lisa asked, surprised.
"I swear you are very lucky to be able to move your family even though you are not in a luxurious house," Andien replied. She sipped her drink until it ran out.
"It''s a coincidence, Ndien. At that time, Oscar helped me to move my family to a luxurious apartment and I was kicked out by ra from the apartment so I moved my family using my own money. Even though Oscar didn''t help me at that time, I still had to think about my family, Ndien. The taxes are really high! Especially now, hearing the news, it turns out that the area of ??my family''s old house is about to be razed. I''m very grateful I moved them out at the right time," Lisa replied at length.
"I didn''t expect it too, you know. You''ve been back with your rich ex-husband. It''s good to have a rich husband, right? Wait, not only rich, but also handsome too. Ah, that''s probably every girls'' dream. You are really lucky! I envy you," Andien said.
"Ah, you''re just shy! That''s why you haven''t got a match until now," Lisa teased, throwing a sly smile at her best friend.
"Wanna find me a match? Ah, forget it, it won''t be fun," Andien replied while pursing her lips.
"Ugh look for them yourself, I don''t have that much time to help you with it!"
"By the way, what does having a rich Caucasian boyfriend taste like? I''m curious, haven''t tried it yet," Andien asked with sparkling eyes.
"Hey, why do you ask the questions—no."
"Right now, it''s time to find a boyfriend through an application. What is the name? Finder? Yes, I want to try it, who knows if I can get a foreigner like you," Andien replied casually.
Hearing Andien''s words just now made Lisa take a deep breath while rolling her eyes. "Ndien, I don''t rmend that you look for a boyfriend through the application. It''s risky. Moreover, many have misused them for scam and so on. Looking for a mate is not just for fun, it''s a big responsibility. You don''t want to end up being stupid like me at the Sky Lounge, right? It just so happened that Oscar took responsibility. What if it turns out that the guy you are dating through this application is not responsible?"
"Hmm, that''s true. But I''m curious and I want to try dating. My life is so lonely even though I am apanied by two cats," Andien replied while tilting her head.
"Ndien, what has been destined as yours won''t go anywhere. Your soul mate will not run anywhere. Just rx, don''t rush it like me or you''ll ruin all of your life."
"Shush! Don''t say that, Lis. You should be grateful to meet a rich guy," Andien replied, hitting Lisa''s shoulder.
"Yes, but the journey of my life from when I met Oscar until he wanted to reconcile with me was not good. Try being in my position, do you want it?" Lisa asked back, feeling pissed off.
"Of course I don''t want to. Your life is really hard..."
"Well, I already know that. Better work hard so you can eat by yourself."
For a moment, both of them were silent and a little awkward. Lisa returned to enjoying her cold tea while rearranging her random thoughts.
But she suddenly remembered something.
"Ndien, I want to ask you," Lisa said, breaking the silence.
"What is it?"
"Oscar wants to take me to Sweden. His grandmother wants to meet me. I''m really excited. I''m not ready to go abroad though. Especially if I''m going to meet his family!" Lisa''s voice was trembling a little.
"Shit! Your ex-husband is filthy rich huh? You can go abroad whenever you want now huh?" Andien replied nosily.
"But I''m serious about this! Can you give me a suggestion how to face Oscar''s grandmother, who is definitely a foreigner?"
Hearing Lisa''s question just now made Andien speechless, she waspletely at a loss for words. She stared at Lisa''s face with wide eyes and gaping mouth, looking he confused.
"Lis, I''ve never had any boyfriend, and you asked me about how to face your future husband''s family? Did I hear your question wrong?" Andien replied, frowning.
