Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

"A boarding school is a school with dormitories, William. So I'm helping you to choose clothes and other things that you need to bring there."

"Does that mean I won't be seeing Mommy and Daddy?" William asked quietly.

Lisa turned and carried William's small bag onto the bed, "Who said you won't meet us? Of course you will! You bring your cellphone, even though you can't see your cellphone all the time, we can call, and I can also come there if I miss you." Lisa pinched William's nose, "So don't worry. We can still see each other."

William still did not understand the boarding school procedures. Finally, Lisa abandoned her plan to organize William's things and chose to explain slowly.

Around 5 pm, Lisa just came out of William's room. After learning that he could still see his parents, William agreed to be sent to a boarding school.

Today, Lisa decided to go back to Vira's apartment because she had been sleeping at Oscar's house  the last few weeks. She wasn't sure if she had to leave Oscar and William alone at home and all because she wasn't sure if Oscar remembered the medicines he had to take.

And during that time, she never had any contact with Vira again. She's running out of clean clothes and wanted to check the apartment after being away for a while, that's why she wanted to visit there now.

"Miss Lisa, don't you want to have dinner here first?" Mrs. Rusminah asked.

Lisa looked down and put on her high heels, "No need, I just want to go home. I will have my dinner with Vira."

"Ah yes, okay then. Do I need to call Mr. Oscar's private driver to take you home?"

"No, no, no, I'll just take a taxi. Please take care of William, don't forget to take him to take a shower before going to bed. Brush his teeth too, and before going to bed, give him body lotion and powder so his skin won't itch."

Mrs. Rusminah nodded her head. "Okay Mrs. Lisa."

Lisa called an online taxi from inside Oscar's house and only left when the taxi she ordered arrived. The streets in the afternoon were quite congested because it was rush hour time. 

Arriving at the apartment, the place that Lisa and Vira usually lived in was still dark. It's strange that Vira hasn't arrived home at this hour. Since Lisa wanted to order food online, she called Vira's cell phone and asked where the woman was.

"Hello .." said the woman on the other side of the phone. Even though Vira wasn't standing in front of her, Lisa knew that the woman was crying.

"Oh?" Lisa moved her cell phone's screen away from her ear, making sure that she really contacted Vira. The woman put the phone back to her ear and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you crying?"

Vira sobbed, then sighed. "No, Sis.. I just have the flu..."

"Why aren't you at home? Usually you are already at home around this hour. I want to invite you to dinner." 

Lisa suddenly felt bad after she heard Vira's hoarse voice. As she remembers, Vira is not a crybaby. Even the saddest K-drama can't make the woman cry! 

Now, hearing Vira's sobs made Lisa feel something was wrong.

"Sis Lisa, I'm busy right now," Vira made a hoarse voice again, "You just eat first. Don't worry about me."

After that, Vira disconnected their call.

Hanging up the phone before Lisa could even say anything? That's really not like Vira. She must be in trouble now.

Even though it's not too late and just half past 7 in the evening, Lisa is worried because Vira hasn't arrived home yet. Indeed, the woman came home late at night sometimes, around 9 pm, but her mood was always good, and not like this!

Who knows what had happened to her? Could it be that some street thugs bothered her and did something bad to Vira?

Lisa was still standing in front of the door looking at her dead phone screen. Her reflection looked panicked, her brows furrowed as she bit her lower lip. 

Without thinking any longer, Lisa decided to look for Vira.

Lisa and Vira have lived under the same roof for more than 5 months. This resulted in their relationship being close, like sisters from different mothers. 

How could Lisa keep her calm knowing her sister was out there facing a trouble?

She knows some of Vira's colleagues, so she decides to contact them and find out where Vira is. She hopes they know where Vira is now.

After contacting 3 of them, none knew where Vira was. Instead, they said that Vira had not come to work for the past week.

Lately, Vira's mood is a mess. The woman always came to the office with a disheveled appearance and puffy eyes. She always made mistakes that resulted in her being called to the manager's room.

They knew her as someone who doesn't like to make mistakes. 

So what seemed to be really bothering her now?

After hearing the shocking news from Vira's colleague, Lisa felt even more panicked. Surely the problem is big enough that it even affected her performance at work.

Since Lisa doesn't know where Vira is now, the woman stays out of the apartment and looks for Vira in places that she usually visits. Starting from restaurants, supermarkets, cafes, also bookstores that Vira usually visits just to read free books.

But the result remained the same, she couldn't find her anywhere. 

Lisa still can't find Vira.

After Vira ended their phone call, Lisa could no longer contact the woman. The phone line must have been disconnected and the next time she tried to call again, it was said that Vira was out of reach.

When Lisa feels hopeless and tired, she decides to contact Oscar and ask for his help in finding Vira. But before her fingers could type Oscar's phone number, Vira's incoming call suddenly graced the screen of her cellphone.

"Hello, Vira? Where are you now?" Lisa asked frantically.

"I just want to die, sis...." Vira replied followed by hysterical sobs.
