Episode 5

"Darling, when are you going to introduce me to your dad?" Lisa clung affectionately to Mario's arm.

They were currently in Lisa's apartment. Mario, who was sitting and busy with his phone, annoyed Lisa, especially since her question went unanswered.

Annoyed, Lisa glanced at Mario's phone screen, where she immediately felt angry because Mario was happily chatting with Aura.

"Darling, why are you still paying attention to that hypocritical woman!" Lisa protested, her face showing a mix of annoyance and jealousy.

Mario, hearing Lisa's loud voice, turned his head. "She's my girlfriend, so what?" Mario replied indifferently.

Lisa widened her eyes in anger. "So what do you think of me? Am I just a woman you use for pleasure!" Lisa said with her arms crossed.

Mario put his phone on the table, the man immediately changed his position to face her.

"Why are you so angry? You know how I'm in a relationship with her," Mario held Lisa's hand. "It's because of my gratitude after she saved me."

Lisa's face was still sullen. She didn't like sharing attention with other women, even though she came after Aura, but Lisa wanted to be the first.

Mario stroked Lisa's hair, his lips curving into a smile.

"You are the woman I love, the proof is that you have been my priority all this time," said Mario.

Lisa glanced, her lips pouting, "But I only want to have you alone, not with her and others,"

"Be patient, there will be a time. I just need her to gain my dad's trust."

Yes, besides being a savior, Aura was also used by Mario to gain his father's trust in order to get a recognized position in the company.

Back in college, Mario had a single accident, that night he was drunk and forced himself to drive his own car, until his reduced awareness caused the car he was driving to go off the road, Mario was unconscious with the car emitting smoke and was helped by a girl, and that girl was Aura. And when Mario found out they were on the same campus, Mario established close interactions until they had a relationship as lovers.

And Mario knew Aura was a good woman, if his father was looking for information about Aura, Mario was sure his father would not reject the girl. The most important thing was to please his father first so that he would immediately get a share in the company.

"Hasn't your dad given you anything important in the office yet?" Lisa asked, her face no longer sullen.

Lisa also wanted Mario to become an important person in her parents' office, so she would become a socialite. She could show off her lover's wealth so she wouldn't be looked down on by her friends. Who wouldn't want Mario, all women would want to be part of Mario's wealthy family. And Lisa felt lucky to be Mario's woman to boost her social status.

"Dad hasn't done that yet, I don't know, it seems he doesn't fully trust me." Mario sighed long.

He didn't know if his actions were known to Haikal, and Mario felt that he deserved an important position in the company.

Seeing the lethargic face of her snatched lover, made Lisa smile, she who was sitting beside Mario now moved to Mario's lap.

Lisa put her arms around Mario's neck, her smile looked so seductive.

"What if you ask for that ratification as soon as possible, I'm sure your dad will do it if you ask him to."

Mario's hands were on Lisa's slender waist, the man seemed to be thinking.

"If not, you can use force, I'm sure your dad will give it because you are the only heir." Lisa said so confidently, little by little she influenced Mario's mind.

Mario seemed to be thinking, he slightly agreed with Lisa's words. All this time he had never asked for his ratification in the company to be expedited. Wasn't he the only child so he deserved to be recognized in his own father's company.

"Um, you're right dear," said Mario with his lips stretching into a wide smile.

Lisa smiled too, not expecting it to be so easy to influence Mario.

"You are the best darling," said Lisa who had now brought her face closer to Mario.

They made love with passion and enthusiasm. Without them knowing that outside there was someone who was planning to avenge his heartache.

Haikal came out of the room in the morning, he was going to have breakfast at the hotel restaurant downstairs. But when he looked around, he didn't expect to see Aura sitting at the corner of the table, the woman was eating while opening a file, the steam from the drink was still billowing from the glass in front of her.

Haikal smiled, he thought Aura was still locking herself in the room after seeing the incident at the airport, but who would have thought that the woman was fine.

"I thought you were still crying in the room,"

Haikal's words made Aura look up, the woman was quite surprised to see the arrival of her boss in front of her.

"Good morning sir," Aura greeted politely.

Haikal nodded, "If we're alone and outside of work, you can just call me by my name,"

Aura was silent for a moment, before answering with a smile.

"Um, I'll try sir,"

Haikal chuckled, "Start learning from now, because if you still use that call, you will get punished."

Aura raised one eyebrow hearing her boss's words, "Punishment?"

Haikal nodded with a smile, "Punishment, so be careful to call my name."

Soon Haikal's order arrived, they both chose to eat together, in silence.

Occasionally Haikal glanced at Aura's face which looked normal, there were no signs of swollen eyes and dark circles, that meant Aura was fine.

In Aura's silence, her brain was thinking about something. 'No, I don't want to take advantage of the situation, I have to use another way,' she thought after looking at the man in front of her carefully.

The meeting with the client went smoothly, they forgave Mario's broken promise. In return, Haikal offered cooperation with promising profits, which made the client immediately agree.

Honestly, Aura wasn't that important here, it's just that I don't know what Haikal was thinking before to bring Aura into his business trip.

"Do you want to take a walk first," Haikal asked when they were both in the passenger part of the car.

Aura turned to Haikal for a moment, "Is it okay sir-em I mean-" Aura seemed confused about what to call him, because the man beside her was not just any man and also the father of - ahh not anymore. This man is no longer her prospective father-in-law.

"Um, Uncle.. can I go for a walk? Aura asked after getting a call that she thought was suitable.

Haikal smiled, the call that Aura used seemed to indicate that he was an Uncle-Uncle with his mistress.

"No problem, I will accompany you."
