Hearing William's words made Lisa's heart melt. At that moment, her feelings of sadness began to decrease. She let go of William's small body and chuckled when she saw the serious look on her son's face.

William frowned and wiped the tears that rolled down his mother's cheeks, "Mommy, why are you crying?"

"No, Mama's not crying," Lisa replied quickly. She wiped the tears from her cheeks and smiled widely. She was sure her smile could fool William. "I.. Some dust got into my eye. There's a lot of dust in here so let's go!"

Without waiting for William's reply, Lisa stood up and took the boy's hand again. But this time she slowed down, trying to match her son's footsteps. When they were near the residential gate, Lisa took out her cell phone and booked an online taxi.

Arriving at Vira's apartment, Lisa immediately rushed to their small kitchen. Because since yesterday, Vira has to work out of town again, so she will not come home for 2 days. This resulted in the apartment hosting only Lisa and William.

Actually, the ingredients in the refrigerator and kitchen cabinet are enough for next week. It's just that Lisa is too angry and distraught to cook a full course meal. In the end, the woman just chose to cook oyster mushrooms.

Even though she was chopping various vegetables on the cutting board right now, her mind was filled with delusions. On the wide and luxurious-looking glass dining table sat a new pair of lovers. They were both laughing loudly and maybe, maybe, they were panning for each other.

'No, this can't be happening!' She tried to deny it, but she knew her mind disagreed with her.

By now, they must have finished their meal and were relaxing in the living room. Maybe they were discussing whether Indri should stay at Oscar's house longer, and to make matters worse, the man would invite her to spend the night at her house.

Lisa took the mushrooms and cut them roughly. The woman couldn't stop imagining Oscar's hand resting on the wooden plank!

"You stupid idiot, stupid idiot!" Lisa grumbled while cutting vegetables.

William had watched his father struggle in the kitchen too often, sometimes the old maid too. So, hearing noisy cooking utensils and the smell of fragrant cooking is no longer a foreign thing for him. Then, when he heard the sound of a kitchen knife hitting the board violently, the boy knew something was wrong.

Usually, when Mrs. Rusminah is chopping vegetables or even meat, he only hears the sound of 'tuk tuk tuk'. But now, William heard a terrifying sound!

At first, he stayed in the living room waiting for his mother to finish cooking. He was given some blank paper and colored pencils while his mother was in the kitchen. But when he heard the terrifying sound, he abandoned his paper and rushed over to his mother.

Who wouldn't be scared to look at their mother, a usually loving and caring woman, to suddenly change into the most violent evil overnight?

Not wanting to throw himself into his mother's rage, William chose to look at his mother from behind a mini bar stool.

***

Actually, Lisa has no plans to make William sleep in Vira's apartment. But the heavy rain last night came so sudden, Lisa had no other choice but to take William to sleep in her room.

Lisa knew what she was doing looked childish, but she didn't care. From last night until now, she had not contacted Oscar at all. Even though the man contacted her and asked if William would stay at Vira's apartment, Lisa ignored the message.

It was the same this morning when she prepared breakfast for herself and William. Suddenly, the woman's cell phone screen flashed and showed a short message from Oscar.

Oscar: Don't forget to take William to school this morning.

"You think I'm that stupid to ignore my responsibilities?" Lisa grumbled as she turned off her cell phone's screen.

After breakfast and cleaning up, Lisa took William to school. Luckily, today is Saturday. Since she was stupid, Lisa forgot to bring William's school uniform and even bring his school bag. But since today is Saturday, the kindergarten gives the students the opportunity to wear free clothes.

Also, since today was Saturday, Lisa's office wasn't overcrowded with employees. Most of them choose to take a day off or come to work but are only present for 5 hours.

Actually, Lisa could just take the day off or just work for 5 hours. But unfortunately, the woman's work is still piling up, it almost looks like a mountain. This resulted in her inevitably languishing in the silent office building.historical

"Honey, Mrs. Maria is looking for you."

Lisa immediately sat up straight as soon as she heard Cicilia's voice. Suddenly, the woman's heart was beating so fast and an uncomfortable feeling began to surround her.

"I'm so dead, do you know why she summoned me?" Lisa asked as she stood up from her chair.

Cicilia shrugged her shoulders, "I was just passing by Mrs. Maria's room and then she suddenly came out and told me to call you."

Thinking that she was being called to Maria's room because of her mistake made Lisa rush over. Don't tell her Maria already has a new plan to take her down!

"Mrs. Maria, are you looking for me?" Lisa asked politely.

Since the incident where Maria said that Lisa was innocent and Patricia was the one who was guilty, the two of them never communicated again. Lisa partially felt calm because at least her problem was solved and now she could work in peace. But half of her couldn't help but feel something was off whenever the two of them didn't see each other.

Lisa seemed to know that Maria would not stand still and must be looking for a way to bring her down.

"Wait a minute, please." Maria replied without looking at Lisa. The woman still looks busy rearranging the position of the small flower pot on her desk. After a few seconds, Maria finally stood up from her chair and walked over to Lisa.

"There'll be a dinner with the president and several other company representatives this afternoon.. Come to the event with me."
