The Love of the Unknown Man

50 Part 50's

Martha was stunned, wanting to talk but her voice seemed to be stuck in the throat. Especially when he glanced at Gustav who was looking at him sharply.

Lisa who noticed the fear on Martha's face as the woman glanced at her husband instantly understood and pulled Martha to give him a little space.

"Lisa, where are you going?" Gustav asked Lisa who was walking hand in hand with Martha.

"I want to talk to Martha for a minute."

"But he is…"

"Please. This time it's just."

Gustav and Lisa looked at each other. Then Gustav nodded in giving Lisa permission after he saw the steadiness of his wife's heart.

Even though Gustav doesn't know what Lisa's going to talk to Martha. So that he stood not far from those who were now sitting on the bench.

"How are you, Sa? Now you're the wife of a conglomerate, huh?" Martha asked with a voice that sounded sincere.

Martha's face was different than usual if she met Lisa. As much as possible so that Lisa can accept Martha.

"Martha, what's wrong with you? You're okay, right?" 

Instead of answering Martha's question, Lisa instead searched for her old friend by asking back.

Lisa observes Martha's perfunctory appearance. T-shirts that are too big for their body size and jeans torn at the knees.

It was definitely not the appearance that portrayed Martha as Lisa had known all along. Not to mention Martha's face that had no polished make up at all.

It was much different than Martha. Where every second should wipe the powder every time the powder was washed off from his face.

"I.." Martha bowed her head and started sobbing.

"Why are you, Marta?" ask Lisa iba.

Lisa who was pregnant young and easily carried away emotions also became compassionate to Martha. Even though that woman used to have it.

"Do you know, Sa, that Daddy I'm broke because of your husband."

"Mother me? What's the matter, Martha? Same story with me!"

Yes. Got you, Lisa. Just like this you have been carried away by emotions. Or I'm the one who's good at acting. Know if I have acting talent, mending me cast as an artist only time huh?

Martha nodded while holding a thin grin.

"Martha, what's wrong with you? Answer dong. How daydreaming?"

Lisa's question breaks Martha's daydream. He scratched his head in the wrong manner. Then back to running his sadiwara.

Martha tells how Gustav made Mario's company bankrupt by refusing cooperation, even though at that time the company Alastar Corp is expected to help Mario from the ensnaring debt.

Martha also explained that if all that, Gustav did because Martha who had accused Lisa and Martha was impressed to not apologize.

"Now I'm a philanderer, Lisa. I used to be too childish and very spoiled. But now I realize I was wrong. You're gonna forgive me, aren't you, Lisa."

Martha looked at Lisa with one clear feather flowing down her cheek.

Lisa nodded and held Martha's hand.

"Yes, I'm sorry. It's over anyway."

"And now my father and I are living together, Lisa. If I may wish to ask for one wish," said Martha, bowing her head.

Martha bowed her head because of the happy feeling. He could guess if Lisa would definitely agree to his request without a second thought.

"What wish?"

"I'm going to give you a job. Being a waitress in your mansion is also okay."

"Can't."

"Gustav," Lis frowned dislikeingly if Gustav eavesdropped on their conversation earlier.

"Lisa, you have to remember what kind of woman she is," cried Gustav glanced in disdain at Martha.

"But over the past five years I've changed. I'm not the Martha I used to be" Martha defended so convincingly.

Making Lisa who is in a phase carried away by emotions finally granted Martha's request.

"alright. But it's okay if you work as a waiter."

"It's okay. I want to do whatever is halal."

Martha wiped away the trail of tears, smiled, and scattered a hug on Lisa.

Without anyone seeing if behind Lisa, Martha was curling a meaningful smile.

"But Lisa, I don't allow her to work in the mansion. Never after what he did to you" Gustav said firmly. He believes Martha has changed.

"Darling, please give him a job, if not at the mansion anywhere he has a job," Lisa asked.

Gustav glanced at Martha for a moment. Examining the look of the woman's face to look for hidden intentions that are being covered up.

Gustav grinned. Her premonition was unmistakable if Martha had bad intentions on Lisa.

Let's see how smart you are, Martha.

"Darling, why are you quiet? Martha can work at the mansion right?" Lisa asked anxiously.

"Yes, he will work as a servant" replied Gustav but his bead did not escape observing the look on Martha's face.

A few house servants who were working in the courtyard, bowed their heads saluting the brand master who had just stepped out of the car.

It was their custom every time they met the lord Gustav. However, this time someone made their forehead shrivel.

Because in addition to Lisa, there are other women who also get out of the car that Gustav boarded.

The minds of the servants became wondering who the figure of the woman was. 

One of the servants even assumed that the woman was the second woman of her master. It's wild to think of this waiter.

"Bring things in the trunk!" gustav's orders to Martha were certainly undeniable given his current status as a servant.

Seeing Martha carrying shopping items, the servants concluded that Martha was the new servant. They nodded slowly and continued their work.

Gustav walked into the mansion with one hand hugging Lisa's waist. While Martha was behind them, silently staring sinisterly.

They were greeted by the butler who was already standing at the door.

"She will be working as a waiter from today. Give me any job as long as it's not directly related to my wife" Gustav told the butler.

The middle-aged man just nodded steadily. After Gustav and Lisa walked past him, he looked at Martha.

Martha herself was astonished because since then she observed the look of Lisa's face that seemed ordinary. There was no sadness when the woman was hit by slanted gossip.

"Don't Lisa not know if she's accused of malpractice?" martha's murmur narrowed her eyes.

And the one piece of rock that Martha got, she knew Lisa was pregnant. That's what Martha knew when Lisa bought pregnant women's milk.

Martha grinned at Lisa's distant back. In his mind had been stored a plan to take his revenge.
