Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Lisa turned to look at Andien with a serious expression and asked, "Do you have any idea what I should sell? What kind of goods?"

Andien paused for a moment to think.

"Hmm, what if you just sell clothes? Working clothes, but at an affordable price?" Andien suggested while snapping her fingers.

"Okay, that\'s pretty promising. Then what\'s the good thing about selling it via an online shop?" asked Lisa curiously.

"You can just sell it at Tokomedia, it\'s also practical."

"You\'re right! Why didn\'t I think about it? But there\'s one problem. I don\'t have any acquaintances to supply formal clothes."

"We don\'t need that. You can keep it dropship. I have a lot of recommendations for online shops with dropshipping services. So you just have to change the price according to your wishes, and continue to sell!"

Lisa did not think that her best friend could really be relied on even in critical times. She then approached Andien and tapped her on the shoulder.

"You really are cool, Ndien! If you weren\'t there, maybe I would have become crap under the Ancol bridge!"

"You said that you have found someone to help you open a business online shop, so who\'s it, Lis?" Andien said, turning around to ask.

"There was a friend of mine from when I was young. He is now the president of his own company. And I\'m sure he\'s willing to cooperate with me!" Lisa answered optimistically.

That night, Lisa slept late at night looking for an affordable photo studio that she could rent. To make her new online shop look convincing, she had to prepare the best pictures of the clothes. She didn\'t want people to think her online shop was fake!

***

The next day, Lisa woke up earlier than Andien. When Andien woke up a few minutes later, she saw that Lisa was fully clothed, ready to go out somewhere.

"Where are you going to get all dressed up early this morning?" Andien asked, still feeling sleepy. She then rubbed her eyes.

"I\'ve found a studio for me to rent and met my old friend!" Lisa replied excitedly. This was the first time Lisa looked so optimistic and happy in the last few months.

"Great! Keep your spirits up!"

Lisa waved her hand and left Andien\'s apartment.

The woman crossed and walked for a moment to the busway stop. She couldn\'t wait to start her new business!

Arriving at the destination stop, Lisa still had to walk a few more meters to get to the studio she rented last night.

The studio was located in an alleyway. It\'s not that big and didn\'t look fancy, but it\'s perfectly worth it for a budding entrepreneur like Lisa.

Arriving at the studio, she was greeted by a thin girl. The girl opened the gate and invited Lisa in.

"Hello Sis Lisa! It\'s been a long time, I haven\'t seen you for ages. I really miss you," said the girl with a happy face.

The girl was named Vira Marisa. She was Lisa\'s junior in college. She owned a photo studio that she managed by herself since she graduated from high school.

"It\'s been a really long time since we last met. How are you?" Lisa initiated a small talk.

"Good, I\'m good. Come on, please come in! I\'ve prepared everything."

Vira invited Lisa to tour and introduce her to the photo studio. The room was not very big, but it was suitable for photographing a mannequin and clothes.

"If you\'re ready with the product, just contact me!" Vira said kindly.

"I\'ve prepared it, maybe the supplier will come here and bring all the clothes for display tomorrow," Lisa replied.

Leaving the studio, Lisa returned to the busway stop and went to a cafe in the southern part of the capital city to meet her old friend.

Lisa grabbed her cell phone and made a call. "Hello, I\'m on my way."

Arriving at the cafe, she approached a man in black, long sleeves, who was sitting by the window. Sunlight hit his shiny black curls. His face looked serious with the newspaper he was reading.

"Hey, don\'t be so serious, you\'ll get old soon!" Lisa exclaimed.

"Oh, Hi Lisa! I\'ve just arrived here. How\'s your job seeking going? You said that you wanted to start an online shop yesterday, is that right?" Rangga asked, leaning forward.

"No, I gave up with the job seeking. No company wants to accept my job application."

"Haha! You came to the right person. That\'s why it\'s better to be an entrepreneur rather than being a corporate slave," Rangga teased, chuckling. His hands were crossed behind his head in a relaxed manner.

"Wait, what did you say?" asked Lisa.

"My company is not like other conventional companies. I\'ll just go to the office if I really need it!"

"Damn, must be good to be a boss, huh?" Lisa said spontaneously.

Rangga did not answer with words. The man just smiled and raised his eyebrows.

Lisa cleared her throat, she was a little nervous to ask. "So, the reason I want to meet you here is, I want to borrow money for the capital and start my online shop..."

"Sure! It can be arranged! How much do you need?"

Hearing that, Lisa was immediately shocked.

"What do you mean?"

"You don\'t need to borrow from me, Lis. As an old friend, it\'s my job to help you when you need help like now, right?"

"Oh, I have no intention of asking you for money," Lisa said softly.

"Don\'t hesitate. If you need entrepreneurial help like this I\'ll support you one hundred percent!"

Lisa\'s eyes lit up when she heard Rangga\'s offer. It\'s true, Lisa still had a hope!

"No, thanks really! I swear I was almost discouraged looking for money!" Lisa shook Rangga\'s hand. She had never been this happy!

"By the way, Lis, if you still need help raising your business, I\'m always ready to help you. Do you need a social media team? I happen to know an advertising boy. Maybe you need their skills?" Rangga suddenly offered.

Lisa was so happy to hear another attractive offer from Rangga. Her eyes sparkled like a child when Christmas arrived.

"Are you serious!?"

"What can\'t I do?" The man leaned back casually, spreading his hands apart as if he was a king.

"Do you want it or not?"

"Okay, but before we talk about social media, it\'s better if we eat first, Lis. Are you not hungry already in broad daylight?"

The two old friends then chatted for hours, as if the time didn\'t run around them when they met at that cafe.

Lisa looked back out of the window. Paying attention to passing vehicles and all the hubbub of that afternoon.

\'I still have a chance!\'
