The bus arrived at Parahyangan Resort exactly two hours after a tiring journey. Tomorrow was the opening of Petersson Communications’ company anniversary! All employees immediately rushed to their respective hotel rooms and rested for the event tomorrow morning.

Lisa and Andien were in different rooms but their rooms were next to each other. Andien helped her friend carry her heavy luggage and walked to their room together.

Arriving at their respective rooms, Andien visited for a moment to Lisa’s room. She laid down on the soft mattress and sighed. The two hour bus ride turned out to be quite tiring for her.

“Finally we can sleep— lie down, Lis! Do you have any snacks left? I’m crazy hungry, I didn’t eat at all during the trip. Just mineral water!”

“You didn’t sit with me earlier on the bus! My snack was finished after I gobbled everything up.”

“Sorry, Lis, I didn’t sit next to you on purpose because I knew Karina was going to be on the same bus with us! If you were sitting with me, she’ll probably sit next to the president. You don’t want to see your husband sitting with the bitch Karina, right? Yes or no?” Andien explained, feeling a little guilty for not sitting with Lisa on the bus.

“Since you don’t sit with me, I don’t feel comfortable knowing that I’m not sitting next to my husband! You know that my marriage to Oscar is a secret! That’s how I made other girls on the bus jealous of seeing me sitting next to Oscar!” Lisa complained in annoyance.

“Pffft, you don’t have to think about what they say, Lis. If they want to be jealous of you or fight against you, it’s not your fault! Besides, they are like that because they don’t know that you and Oscar are already married! ”

“Yes, I know that Ndien. It just doesn’t feel good to be seen with Oscar on the bus. The girls will think that Oscar and I are really close, that’s the impression. Yes, you don’t need to discuss it, you say you’re hungry! Come on let’s go to the restaurant to eat. Damar is already out of sorts in the group telling us to eat now!”

Andien and Lisa then came down for lunch at the restaurant. It could be seen that some of their colleagues were enjoying their lunch after a long journey on the bus without food and drink.

The two friends immediately took plates and queued at the buffet area with their other colleagues. Parahyangan Resort was the best hotel in West Java. The services and facilities provided were the best and deserve thumbs up.

The hotel provided a variety of culinary delights both local, Eastern, Western, and all kinds of cuisines! Not only did it look good and taste good, the food here was also very delicious!

Andien ladled rice and a few pieces of Black Pepper Chicken onto her plate. Lisa saw her best friend and shook her head.

“Crazy, you already look like a hungry tiger!”

“Shut up, Lis, I’m so hungry that I haven’t eaten yet! You didn’t share with me more snacks!”

“What’s wrong with you not sitting with me on the bus earlier?” Lisa teased, scooping the soup. She felt that she had no appetite. Her pregnancy had really disturbed her appetite lately.

“Lis, you don’t eat rice? Usually, when you eat rice, you are like a hungry elephant, no?” Andien asked in a mocking tone.

“I don’t know. I don’t really like the taste since I’m ‘that.'”

“It’s a shame the food is delicious here! I wish I get to eat delicious food like this every day!” Andien said, spooning her food.

“Bullshit, it’s not like you never eat good food, Ndien!”

“Shut up, Lis, you feel good every day to be able to eat food like this!”

“Eating good food every day is also boring Ndien, you never go out with rich people!” Lisa joked.

“Damn you. Eh, by the way, have you asked for ‘that’ or not?”

“What do you mean, Ndien?”

“The prize, Lis. The prize! Do you remember the day I asked you to please ask him about the prize?”

“Honestly, I hesitate to ask him! I know he has money, but I really hesitate to ask for a laptop for the prize of this event!”

“Well it’s not fun, Lis! My laptop is broken, duh!”

“That’s why you have to save, don’t make me nag you like your mother!”

After eating, Lisa went to the buffet area looking for dessert. She stared at a large plate on which laid French puffs. The woman couldn’t stand the temptation in front of her. She took one of the French puffs and then a hotel staff approached her and said, “Excuse me, that’s just a replica. The real one is over there.” Said the hotel staff with a thick Sundanese accent.

Lisa smiled shyly when she mistook a display that was very similar to the original food, “Oh sorry, it looks like the real thing.”

Not far from where Lisa was standing, she saw Oscar just arriving at the restaurant. The man was wearing a black T-shirt and khakis. Even though Oscar was wearing casual clothes, he still looked charming. The golden curls he let loose and messy definitely added to his good looks, making the figure of a man with European blood even more sexy and wild.

Oscar then turned towards Lisa. They exchanged glances. The woman hid her blushing face behind Andien’s body. Andien saw Oscar staring at the two of them from the dining table near the pool and then left Lisa who was still busy taking dessert.

Oscar then got up from his chair, approaching Lisa who was still standing in the dessert area. Lisa looked away, didn’t want to look at her husband’s face who approached her.

“Lisa, have you eaten?” Asked the man while taking the plate. His expensive perfume tingled Lisa’s nose.

“Eh, I don’t feel like eating much, Sir. I just want a snack.” Lisa answered. Her face grew even redder.

“Eat Lisa, there is a competition that all employees must participate in tomorrow! You can’t be too tired, take a break after lunch!” The man’s voice sounded stern and cold, but the man was very considerate of his wife who was in her early pregnancy.

Lisa just nodded in agreement. She did not want to be involved in the conversation with the man for too long so that the other coworkers would not be overly suspicious.

“Excuse me sir, I want to go back first.” Lisa left her husband and returned to join Andien, eating her dessert.

Hopefully, this incident didn’t arouse suspicion of her other coworkers!

***

After lunch, Lisa and Andien returned to their respective rooms and rested. Lisa still didn’t eat enough but she was too tired. She wanted to sleep but someone knocked on her door.

“What the heck, Ndien? I want to sleep!” She said as she opened the door. As it turned out, a hotel maid was bringing a tray of food.

“Good afternoon, sorry to disturb you. This is a food delivery from room 404.” Said the waiter, handing over a tray of porridge, French puffs, sweet tea and a letter.

“Oh, thank you very much.” Lisa replied.

“You’re welcome, I’m sorry if it interferes with your sleeping time.” The servant then left.

Lisa put the tray of food on the hotel table. She took the letter and opened it. It turned out it was from Oscar!

I hope I don’t disturb your sleep, but I don’t want you to not eat at all. Here I give you a bowl of porridge and a few other sweet treats. You need a lot of energy for tomorrow morning’s show.

Greetings, Oscar

Don’t forget to sleep early!

Lisa folded the letter and put it in her tote bag. She pulled out a chair at the table and started eating her husband’s special dish.

“It turns out that Oscar can be romantic too..” She said to herself.
