Hearing that of course made Lisa dumbfounded. Maria wanted to take her to an important dinner even though she was still a new employee at the company?

Oh, that woman will surely try to embarrass her there!

"Dinner? You want me to attend the dinner?" Lisa asked after a long silence.

"Yes," Maria replied quickly. Before Lisa could reply, the woman took a deep breath and answered in a rather loud voice, "I said that I invited you to attend the dinner with me!"

For some time, Lisa was taken aback and looked at Maria with disbelief. She didn't know what made her suddenly have the thought of taking her to dinner that night.

Also, Lisa was never invited or attended dinner with important people. She couldn't imagine what would happen if she accepted Maria's invitation. She might embarrass herself and her company for wearing the wrong attire or other mistakes.

Or maybe that's what Maria wants.

"I'm sorry but I can't seem to be able to attend the dinner. If I may suggest, you'd better take Patricia or Cicilia." Lisa refused in a tone that tried to sound polite.

For her, Patricia and Cicilia are suitable employees to be invited to this important and formal dinner. Apart from the fact that they have worked in the company for quite a long time, their looks are arguably second to none.

The two women were the same height and had beautiful faces. The aura emanating from Patricia and Cicilia's figures showed the high society they belonged to. Compared to them, Lisa is nothing.

After saying that, Lisa quickly turned around and walked towards the door. She did not want to linger in the room and made Maria threaten her for refusing her request. And sure enough, just as she imagined, Lisa heard Maria's voice.

"Lisa, can you turn into a grown woman and forgive others? I know that what I did the other day was wrong, and I have also apologized to you. But you are still acting like a child!"

If Lisa weren't so tired and wanted to hurry up to pick up William at school, maybe she would have turned around and slapped the demonic woman's face.

Without turning around, Lisa answered, "What do you mean by that?"

"This dinner is important. Let's just say I invited you to attend the event as my apology. I'm sure there will be some important people at the dinner who can make you a great offer."

Invited to that dinner because Maria felt guilty? Lisa is getting more and more reluctant to attend the event!

As if knowing what was going through Lisa's mind, Maria continued, "Okay. Please accompany me to the dinner. I didn't invite Patricia because she has a family event today. And the invitation says it's for two, so I invite you to come."

"Just help me with this once, okay? This dinner is important to me and the division. Who knows if we can meet important figures from other companies who are interested in collaborating with us." Maria begged without stopping.

If Lisa had stayed in that room any longer, she might have vomited in seconds. Who would have thought that Maria would talk that sweetly to her?

Lisa sighed and then turned around, "Maria, you know what our relationship is like. I don't like you and you hate me half to death. So now you think we'll look fine if we go to dinner that night? People will know that we are not comfortable with each other! What do you think the president will say to us later?"

"Look, I actually—"

"Wait," Lisa raised her hand, "I'm not done talking yet. If Patricia can't attend it, you can invite the others. This is a golden opportunity, okay? I'm sure they'll want to come to dinner! Sorry, but I just don't feel comfortable if I have to go there with you."

Maria sighed, "Actually I don't hold a grudge against you for a long time. I used to do things that were out of line because I felt ashamed and embarrassed. How could I accept it when Rangga chose you over me?"

"I've always known that you were a good girl. There's no way you can snatch someone else's man!" From the way Maria spoke, Lisa could tell that the woman was lying. "I know that it's actually Rangga who is cunning and manipulating, not you. For that, I want to apologize to you for accusing you carelessly. Twice."

"I want to improve our relationship. Will you forgive me?"

Indeed, from the look in Maria's eyes, Lisa could tell that the woman was telling the truth. Her tone was sincere. But that demonic woman was just too cunning that Lisa didn't know if what she was saying was true.

Lisa would never get tired of using the words 'amazed' and 'surprised' every time she encountered this woman. She knew Maria damn well, she knew Maria had accused her twice, but Lisa never expected to hear an apology from Maria's lips.

Wait.

She got a lot of apologies indeed. Maria often said it in a mocking or fake tone. But now, hearing Maria's sincere tone gave Lisa the chills!

It seemed that the demonic woman had repented and wanted to improve her way of life.

Until the next few moments, Maria still hasn't heard a reply from Lisa. Thinking that she didn't believe her words made Maria walk towards Lisa slowly. She used every means to finally hear herself forgiven. One of them is by shedding tears.

"Lisa, I know that my attitude towards you was rude. I don't deserve to be forgiven. It's just that I'm just an ordinary person who hopes to be forgiven by others. Can you forgive me? I promise I will do my best to improve our friendship."

Usually, Lisa could figure out what Maria would do. She had often met people who hated her and wanted to bring her down. But now, standing in front of Maria, she didn't know what she wanted.

Did Maria just apologize to her? Looks like the sun will really rise from the west!
