Chapter 263 - Compensation
historical
Feeling the coldness on the tip of the gun stuck to Charles's temple, the middle-aged man immediately shuddered with horror. His heart was beating so fast that it almost seemed to fall off. Cold sweat flowed from behind his temples while his eyes bulged between confusion and fear.
Oscar stared at Charles's lecherous and disgusting face. His blue eyes were still glued to Charles's narrow eyes that looked scared. The man looked at Oscar as if he was a hungry tiger and that he was his prey.
"Mr. Oscar, don't joke around. I didn't do anything!" Charles stammered, his voice sounding covering something.
"Too bad Mr. Charles, if you don't want to cooperate with my company anymore, you should tell me in a kind and professional manner. Don't stab me in the back like this, I really don't like your attitude," Oscar replied in a condescending tone.
The gun was still stuck to Charles's temple. Oscar then snapped his fingers. Without saying much, Dani, who had been pointing a gun in Charles's temple, cocked the trigger.
"Let me warn you that the gun my assistant was holding has live bullets. I'll give you one last chance. If you still don't want to admit your disgusting deed, then your head will be the compensation," Oscar brought his face closer so that it was parallel to Charles's. He stared at Charles's lecherous face like a cold-blooded killer.
Hearing a loud click in his left ear, Charles immediately swallowed hard and spoke up, "Fine, fine! I admit it! A month ago, while on an official trip with your company, I got drunk and slept with several employees of your company. So sorry but I was completely out of control that night! I beg your pardon, Mr. Oscar! Please don't take my life!"
"Wow, what a very quick confession, Mr. Charles! Even more surprising, it turned out that you slept with not only one but several of my employees that night?" Oscar asked in confirmation. He rose from his squatting place and threw his cigarette butt in the ashtray.
"Are you satisfied now, Mr. Oscar !? I have admitted my mistake, "Charles snapped, still unable to believe he embarrassed himself in front of Oscar.
Oscar clicked his tongue and then crossed his arms. "The problem is you haven't mentioned how much are you willing to pay for all the surgery and hospitalization costs for one of my female employees whom you sleep with."
"What do you mean, Mr. Oscar?"
"One of my employees got pregnant as a result, and unfortunately after a month of pregnancy, she suffered a miscarriage and was threatened with infertility because of it. As the man who slept with my female employee, you should be responsible right?"
Charles was speechless at Oscar's explanation. He really didn't know that he got Andien pregnant that night.
"I will pay 100 million rupiah in compensation," Charles replied. Je didn't dare look at Oscar's face. The more the blonde haired man smacked him, the more his body was trembling all over.
"Hmm, you are very stingy for a well-known business owner in the capital," Oscar sneered.
"150 million! I will pay compensation in the amount of 150 million!" Charles stuttered back.
Oscar did not blink, instead he was staring at Charles with a gaze that grew sharper and his aura turned grimmer. Oscar snapped his fingers again and Dani pushed the gun on Charles's temple even more so that the middle-aged man's head shifted.
"200 million! I will pay 200 million rupiah!"
Oscar raised an eyebrow and then grinned faintly. The man signaled Dani to remove the gun from Charles's temple.
"Mr, Charles, if I may comment, if you don't want to work with my company, don't play dirty every now and then. Do you think that by tarnishing my female employees you can damage the image of my company?"
"Mr. Oscar, with all due respect, I am sorry, this is all my fault. I didn't intend to ruin your company's image, I was so stupid at that time. I was completely drunk and out of control. Please forgive me, Mr. Oscar! I promise I will not repeat this dishonorable act again. Forgive me! I have no intention of destroying your company's image!"
Charles knelt in front of Oscar, holding both of the younger man's legs.
"Fine, I accept the compensation money. Please pay in cash," Oscar said briefly.
"But I don't have cash with me right now," Charles replied nervously.
"I want you to come over here and give me the cash tomorrow, now go! I don't want to see your perverted face in my office," Oscar told him then snapped his fingers for Dani to take Charles out.

After work, Oscar returned to Lisa's boarding house. When the man stepped into the living room, the lights in the room turned off. When he turned on the living room light, he accidentally found Lisa's figure fast asleep on the sofa.
It seemed that Lisa was very tired after looking after Andien that she didn't have time to change her clothes and fell asleep in the living room.
The man approached the woman who was lying on the sofa. He stared at Lisa's beautiful sleeping face while smiling tenderly. How beautiful Lisa was when she was asleep, he thought. The man brought his face close to Lisa's, exhaled his warm breath until she woke up.
Lisa slowly opened her eyes, surprised to see Oscar's slightly vague figure.
"Oscar! Are you back?" Lisa said then got up, touching Oscar's handsome face.
"I miss you," Oscar said softly. The man smiled when his pair of blue eyes stared deeply into Lisa.
Hearing the sweet sentence that Oscar just said touched Lisa's heart. She replied with a sweet smile and then hugged the golden haired man's neck closer.
"I also miss you, Oscar..."
"Come on, let's sleep in the room. There are mosquitoes here," Oscar said as he carried Lisa and carried her upstairs.
"How about it, Oscar? Have you cleaned up the bastard who had the heart to destroy Andien?" Lisa asked in the arms of the tall, slender man.
The man brought his face closer, touching Lisa's tiny nose with his sharp nose. "Everything is safe and under control, don't worry."
His deep, sexy voice sounded steady without a doubt. Just hearing it made Lisa's heart even more relieved. Finally, Lisa could sleep peacefully tonight.
"Oscar, you are great indeed. I never thought you could find the bastard man who had the heart to do that to Andien. Thank you so much once again, Oscar!" Lisa said. She brought her lips closer and kissed Oscar's forehead.
***
It didn't feel like it had been 3 days since Andien was hospitalized. Today's the time for her to go home.
In the afternoon before she was ready to go home, Lisa and Oscar immediately went to the hospital and rushed to room 202.
How happy Lisa was when she met her best friend who was in good health and returned to her prime. She immediately ran to Andien's bed and hugged her tightly.
"Andien! I'm really happy that you've finally recovered! Guess what, Oscar helped me find the jerk who didn't want to take responsibility! Right, Oscar?" Lisa said excitedly as she turned to Oscar.
In return, Oscar nodded then smiled at Andien.
Hearing this good news made Andien's heart happy. She didn't know whether to hold back or jump in joy. Thanks to her boss, the jerk who didn't want to take responsibility for her finally fell to his knees.
"Mr. Oscar, I'm really grateful for your help and thank you! I don't know how to repay it all to you," Andien said, shaking Oscar's hand.. Her eyes began to shed tears of joy.
