Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Cicilia and Aaron then took turns to shake hands with Hendery.

"Alright, let\'s sit down first! How about we order a meal and then talk about this project while we eat?" Hendery suggested cheerfully.

Since Lisa doesn\'t know how to properly start a discussion for their project, she agrees with Hendery\'s proposal. After all, they are currently meeting at a restaurant in a five-star hotel. Having their meals here would be the most appropriate way.

Since Lisa, Cicilia, and Aaron haven\'t eaten, they immediately ordered food that they thought was tempting.

In the middle of their dinner, instead of discussing their collaborative project, Hendery invited Lisa to toast. At first, Lisa felt nothing strange and accepted Hendery\'s invitation with a happy heart.

The panic and fear that she had felt earlier turned into a feeling of relief. Luckily, Hendery wasn\'t the same type of man as Robert.. Their brief meeting made Lisa think that Hendery was a friendly and warm person.

Over time, Lisa felt strange and her eyesight became blurry.

She felt uncomfortable being there too long. Hendery\'s attitude is getting more and more fake and looks like he wants to make Lisa drunk.

If Lisa\'s glass is empty, the man will definitely take the initiative to refill it. Hendery\'s strange behavior continued for the next 20 minutes, making Lisa\'s vision blurry.

But Lisa also felt she\'s not in position to refuse. If she rejects Hendery\'s invitation to toast, she will be branded as an arrogant woman. And maybe, Hendery will cancel their cooperation plan.

Foolishly, Lisa allowed Hendery to refill her glass one more time that night.

"Sorry, I\'m going to the toilet for a while..." Lisa said with a friendly tone and flushed cheeks. She didn\'t know how much alcohol was in her body.

"Do I need to accompany you?" Cicilia asked in a friendly tone. The two women now look cute with flushed cheeks and slightly blurred eyes.

Lisa shook her head, "No need. You just stay here with Aaron and Mr. Hendery."

When Lisa managed to get out and get some fresh air, the woman felt relieved. Even though the room wasn\'t too crowded, Lisa still felt cramped.

This morning, Lisa should not have agreed to the invitation that Hendery\'s personal assistant\'s sent her. Compared to Robert, Hendery was indeed much more handsome and polite. His smile looks sweet, even able to make Cicilia melt.

But a handsome man like Hendery is the same as Oscar. Now, every time she saw a handsome man other than Oscar, Lisa felt sick. 

"Miss Lisa!"

Suddenly, when Lisa was about to enter the women\'s restroom located at the end of the room, she heard her name being called. Without turning her head, she already knew who the owner of the deep but cheerful voice was.

Lisa tried to smile and asked, "Mr. Hendery, why are you here?"

"Ah, Miss Lisa, just go to the toilet first. I can wait for you here." Hendery replied kindly. The man\'s wide smile was able to make Lisa sure that everything would be fine.

Hearing that made Lisa chuckle a little, "How could I let you wait for me here? Is there anything you need, sir?"

"It\'s okay, really! I\'m just here to get some fresh air." Hendery finally replied. Again, the man showed his row of neat and milky white teeth.

Finally, the woman nodded her head and followed Hendery\'s order. When Lisa was in the women\'s restroom, she felt something strange again. 

She should be wary of men like Hendery and Oscar. 

She wouldn\'t let herself do the wrong thing and fall in the same hole again.

Especially now that she is a little drunk and her head is spinning, she won\'t let Hendery or any other man use that opportunity to take advantage of her.

Since Lisa was afraid that Hendery would still be standing by the door to the women\'s restroom, she decided not to come out right away. She brought her cell phone, that\'s why the woman was still able to keep herself busy in the toilet.

About half an hour later, Lisa just came out of the door. 

"Geez!" Lisa said, shouting a little while touching her chest, "Why are you still here? Gosh! I was so surprised! I thought someone else was standing there…"

Hendery shrugged his shoulders, "I told you that I would be waiting for you here."

From the look in Hendery\'s eyes as well as his faint smile, Lisa felt more and more uncomfortable. The woman could only grin awkwardly and said, "Let\'s go back there, sir. The others must be waiting for us."

"There\'s no need to rush back, there\'s still something important I want to talk to you about. Just the two of us." Hendery said casually. The man stood with his back against the wall and folded his arms in front of his chest, "Miss Lisa, I am quite satisfied with the proposal made by the Better Life company. So, I plan to accept the invitation to cooperate."

Hearing that made Lisa dumbfounded for a moment. They hadn\'t even had the time to discuss their collaborative project before, so how come this man decided it this way?

But Lisa couldn\'t say anything. "Thank you sir."

"It\'s fine. This year, Bright Light company plans for a big project. We will invite several companies to cooperate. Are you interested in joining? It will earn you valuable experience since you\'re an important person now. Aside from that, you can also be a good influence on the Better Life company."

Hearing that made Lisa feel something strange. They just met and Hendery has asked her to work together again? There must be some hidden intentions behind his words and it looks like Lisa has to find out soon enough.

Actually, she could have refused Hendery\'s invitation outright. But she just didn\'t want to be said as arrogant and ungrateful. It\'s just that she is still a little traumatized by me in her previous failed relationships.

"It depends on our cooperation this time, Mr. Hendery. If this project is successful, maybe the company will consider accepting your invitation to work together again."

After saying that, Lisa walked past Hendery. She wanted to go back to the restaurant and sit in the middle of Aaron and Cicilia. At least, she was not wary around them because there were friends.

Suddenly, Hendery walked even faster than him, and prevented Lisa from going away.

"Well… Don\'t go first. I\'m not done talking yet."
