"What's up?" Lisa purposefully lowered her voice.

"Who's Taehyung?"

Lisa was speechless...

"What's with your expression?" Jennie curiously looked at Lisa.

"You're so scary when you're drunk, you actually blacked out," Lisa stared at Jennie and said, word for word.

"Uh... did I miss something important?" Jennie drank too much that day, even though she took a hangover pill.

However, drinking that much was dangerous...

She pretended to be clear-minded at Seductive Fox, but when she got home, she plummeted into her bed and immediately lost consciousness.

When she got up at noon the next day, her own ceiling was still spinning.

She didn't eat anything that day, because everything tasted of alcohol...

She even locked her door and faked being ill because she was scared that her parents would go insane upon seeing her like this.

Jennie's parents were famous professors that came from esteemed families.

They had high hopes for her and were very strict when it came to discipline...

So, her parents didn't know how rebellious she actually was.

It looked like Jennie really forgot everything...

Lisa pulled her into her office and told her everything that happened that day.

"Ha... I actually did that?"

"What do you think? You're inhumane when you drink too much..." Lisa lamented.

"No wonder that Taehyung guy kept on trying to add me on WeChat, I thought he was harassing me."

Lisa had nothing to say...

"Right, did you film what happened that day? It must've been fun to see him run around naked, right?"

"I didn't dare to, Taehyung would chop me into pieces. Only Jimin would do something as shameless like that." Lisa vaguely remembered that Jimin filmed him and rejoiced in his suffering.

Nobody else would do it even if they had twice the guts...

"Really? Jimin recorded? Ha, then I'll ask him for it later."

"You know Jimin?" Lisa was a little surprised.

"No, but don't you know him?" Jennie said a matter-of-factly.

Lisa was speechless...

"I know, but I am not close to him. Also, if Jungkook knows that I interact with Jimin in secret, he'll be jealous. I would be jealous if I was him, so I can't let Jungkook go through that sort of thing too. "

"Okay... then I'll take care of it myself."

After speaking, Jennie got up to leave...

"Eh... is the engagement thing still on?"

"Who knows... I'll let them arrange things for now. I'll decide whether I want to go depending on my mood that day."

After speaking, Jennie left...

People said that Lisa was capricious, but in comparison to Jennie, she was basically Mother Teresa...

This woman wasn't thinking about her engagement and even had plans to bail?

She wished the best of luck for Bambam's cousin from the look of things.

When Lisa got off work, she was going to head back to South Hill Manor with Jungkook because it was Friday.

So, she eagerly headed to JC first.

Recently, everyone in JC had been working overtime for the company's thirtieth anniversary, and it seemed to be quite grand.

As soon as Lisa stepped into the company, she was greeted by all the employees...

She was the young madam that their boss announced to the whole world, so who would dare to offend her?

Lisa was about to head straight upstairs when she suddenly saw Yerim in the lobby.

So, she slowed her pace and dawdled around the elevator doors...

Yerim had let her waist long hair loose and wore a navy blue business suit with black high heels.

She possessed beauty, a good figure, and talent...

However, she shouldn't be this delusional...

Although Lisa looked kind and honest, she had a horrible habit.

She hated evil, and if someone could truly anger her, she would not treat them with kindness.

Yerim glanced at Lisa seemingly without an intention to greet her, with her head down, looking at her phone.

"Director Yerim, you're not that young, right?" Smiling, Lisa initiated the conversation.

Yerim tilted her head and looked at Lisa with a complicated look, filled with animosity.

"You should have a boyfriend, right?" Lisa added further.

"Young Madam, is it your concern whether or not I have a boyfriend?" Yerim provocatively questioned.

Lisa softly smiled. "Of course it's not my concern, but if you have other intentions towards Jungkook, I can't just sit and watch, you know? It wouldn't be smart of you to try and take something that isn't yours."

"Haha... I haven't even tried yet, how would we know if he isn't mine?" It seemed like Yerim didn't want to give up.

"You have to have the ability to be the third wheel...The man has to at least like you. If the man doesn't even look at you, you're not the third person, you're shameless, do you understand? Even if you strip naked and stand in front of him, he still won't be interested."

Lisa felt like she didn't have to be polite towards Yerim anymore...

She already should've slapped her twice for picking up Jungkook's phone call in secret...

When she got home that day, Lisa purposefully checked Jungkook's phone, and to no surprise, that woman deleted their call history.

It looked like Jungkook didn't know that the phone call ever happened.

Such a disgusting tactic paired with such a repulsive woman was rare.

"Young madam, you used to be so full of yourself, when did you lose your confidence? Are you warning me now because you sank into crisis? Was it because I gave you the sense of danger? Or did the president not treat you well lately, so you're here to take out your anger on me, hmm?"

Lisa quietly laughed...

"What are you laughing at?" What Yerim hated the most was Lisa's constant expression of fearlessness.

It was as if she wouldn't be afraid even if the sky fell down.

"I'm laughing at you because you think you're smart, but you don't seem to understand what I am trying to say... If you don't understand, then I'll explain it to you. I came to find you not because you posed a threat to me, but because I don't like others staring desperately at what I have. Treat this as a warning... what I mean is to prepare your own coffin if you decide to keep courting death, because whoever touches my man... shall die."

After she said those words with a beaming smile on her face, the elevator arrived just in time...

Lisa entered the elevator and stopped paying any more attention to Yerim...

Yerim stood still, going white with anger...

She really hated Lisa's face...

If she wasn't at JC, she would've beaten this woman up and torn up her face.

Why was she so arrogant? She was just relying on the fact that she slept with the president seven years ago, right? She already had her way in high school, but don't forget, men think with their dick and Yerim didn't believe that Jungkook and Lisa's relationship was as hard as steel, so she wanted to test her luck.

Otherwise, she would have wasted these years at JC...

When Lisa entered the office, Jungkook had not returned yet.

She sat on the sofa reading a magazine while Lee poured her a glass of warm milk.

"Uh... why is it warm milk and not coffee? Or tea?" Lisa thought it was weird that he served her milk.

"Sorry, Young Madam, the president said that you're planning to get pregnant, so he's not letting you drink anything caffeinated. Although tea is good, it has ingredients that cause insomnia. So, milk is the healthiest option."

"Uh... did he really personally arrange that as well?"

Lisa was a little dumbfounded...

However, she also felt that it was heartwarming. After all, Jungkook really thought of everything for her.

*

When Jennie was working, she accepted a special patient.

The patient arranged the appointment at a bistro...

She attended the appointment with curiosity, and when she saw that her patient was Taehyung l, she immediately remembered what happened.

"Dr. Kim, what's up?" Taehyung smiled.

"You're the patient who booked an appointment?" Jennie was done, she was the Public Security Bureau's specially hired psychologist, and she would only see patients according to the Bureau's arrangement. Last time, it was Bambam who asked her to hypnotize Soobin.

This time, the Bureau Director personally called her, and she thought it was an important person? In the end, it was actually this guy.

"Yes. However I heard about your engagement, is it true?" Taehyung went straight to the point.

"Yes" Jennie's reply was short.

"I also heard that you two are basically strangers and are coming together for an arrange marriage, what if he cheats on you after marriage? I mean you don't even know him. Isn't it risky to marry just anyone?"

"Yeah, but he's just my partner in an arranged marriage. It didn't matter whether or not we were engaged, or even married, I won't care if he cheats, since there's never love between us. Marriage is just a deal where we both benefit. I'll tell you what, he wants to marry me for my scholarly family. I'm fit for a wife since it sounds good to others that my love history is blank... I am marrying him because he's young, wealthy, decent looking, and well spoken with a clever head. Everything fits perfectly. At our age, love is not in the question because it's like a ghost, many people have heard of it but there's little who have actually seen it. "

"You sure are a pessimist..." Taehyung didn't think that of Jennie, the girl with her little canine teeth.

She was such a melancholic person, even thinking that love was non-existent...

It was so sad...

"Have you ever had a boyfriend?"

"Does kindergarten count?"

"Fine, you win..." Taehyung suddenly remembered something, that it wasn't good if a woman was too smart.

No man liked an overly intelligent woman. In the case of Lisa, who had a high IQ, she became ditzy in front of Jungkook, so it didn't really count.

So, no matter how beautiful and excellent Jennie was, she had never met someone who truly loved her...

Those who did love her, she probably didn't see them the same way, and therefore she had never been in a relationship...

"Don't look at me with that pitiful expression, it's making me very uncomfortable."

"Come, come, Dr. Kim, sit. Let's talk." Taehyung was suddenly overcome with mercy.

"Sorry... my time is very valuable. If you're not here for treatment, I am leaving."

Upon seeing Taehyung talk nonsense, Jennie didn't want to blabber with him any longer...

Jennie was such a smart and rational person...

After she left, Taehyung couldn't calm his emotions...

He felt bad for Jennie; she knew that marriage was a graveyard for her, yet she was purposefully stepping into it.

Why did he feel a slight bitterness in his heart?

– At the headquarters of the JC Corporation –

As Lisa was waiting for Jungkook, she became a little drowsy and was about to fall asleep when Jungkook suddenly opened the door and walked in...

The moment he saw Lisa, a smile appeared on his thin lips.

"Doll, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No, no, just in time to finish a glass of milk." Pointing to the cup, Lisa smiled.

"Good... drink more milk from now on, and drink less coffee and tea."

"I know..." Lisa smiled.

She rubbed her eyes, got up, and was about to talk to Jungkook when Yerim walked in...

"President Jeon... about the cocktail party, this is the list of wine and other beverages. You can take a look at the price range and brands."

"Just leave it here." Jungkook didn't even look up.

Adversely, Lisa suddenly said, "Yerim-ssi is a very capable person."

"No, Young Madam, you are overpraising me," Yerim coldly said.

Smirking, Lisa walked up to Jungkook, held his arm affectionately and said, "Kook, since she is highly capable and is wasted being the director of a department here. I think it'd be better if we transfer her to a branch office and make her the general manager there."

When Yerim heard that, her face dropped...

Jungkook just coldly said, "She's not qualified yet."

"No, she's very capable. Last time when I was here to help, she was of great assistance. Honey, say, after the incident in Japan, there hasn't been a fit candidate for the branch company there after you fired the general manager. In my opinion, Director Yerim is the best candidate," Lisa purposely said...

Jungkook looked up because he discovered that Lisa was starting to be aggressive towards Yerim...

Japan's branch office was currently a mess, nobody dared to take it, not to mention Yerim...

When Yerim heard what Lisa said, she almost choked on her fear and immediately said, "President Jeon... no, I don't want to go. I've been in the design department for a few years now, and I really like this job."

Jungkook silently glanced at Yerim, as if he was calculating something in his heart.

"Kook, what do you think about my suggestion?" Lisa swung Jungkook's arm around like a spoiled little girl.

"Everything you say is good."

When Jungkook was talking to Lisa, his voice was always warm beyond belief...

When Yerim heard Jungkook say that, her face paled...

The president really loved his wife, letting a woman who knew nothing about business management transfer her away.

And the president himself actually silently admitted to it... what the hell is going on?

"Director Yerim, what do you think about my suggestion?" Lisa wrapped her arms around Jungkook's neck from the back and looked at Yerim with a smile on her face.

"I don't think Young Madam's decision is wise. After all, I am only the director of the Design Department. I don't think I am capable of managing a branch office..." Yerim was overwhelmed by anger as she said through gritting her teeth.

"No, I think you're too capable. You did well all along, and you're wasting your talent being the director of the Design Department. We trust you."

"I..." Yerim was just about to argue back.

Then, she heard Lisa say, "Of course... if you think that you cannot excel in that position, you can resign... As everybody has their own choices... Rest assured, seeing that you're an old employee who has been working at the company for many years, Jungkook will give you unemployment benefits for sure."

Upon hearing that, Yerim's face darkened completely...

"I won't resign, I can excel at that position. Thank you for the arrangement, Young Madam," Biting her lip, Yerim forced the words through her mouth.

"Oh, if that's the case, why don't you transfer today? Take tonight's plane to Japan, there are many things waiting for you to sort out."

"Tonight? Isn't that in a bit of a rush?" Yerim looked at Jungkook, begging for redemption.

She seemed to be hoping that the president would speak up for her...

However...

"Do whatever my wife said... if you need anything, communicate with Assistant Lee. That's all for now."

After indifferently saying those words, Jungkook looked down and continued going through company statistics.

Yerim's forced smile was uglier than her crying face...

"Thank you, President Jeon... thank you, Young Madam, for your trust..." Biting her lips, she left with a heart filled with hate.

After Yerim left, Jungkook raised his head and lovingly pinched Lisa's face.

"It's my first time seeing you be jealous, you're so domineering."

"What? You don't like it?" Lisa tried her hardest not to laugh.

"No, I like it a lot... if you're always so dominant, you should be the president of JC from now on. I'll be a stay-at-home dad who cooks and looks after the kids."

"Haha... good, stay true to your words." Lisa burst into laughter.

"Of course, but we have to have a kid first... otherwise, how can I look after them?" After speaking, Jungkook suddenly turned around, grabbed Lisa, and pulled her into his lap.

"Hey... this is your office... don't be reckless..." Lisa immediately panicked.

"Don't worry, there are no security cameras in the office."

"It's not about security cameras, what if someone walked in..." Lisa didn't get the chance to finish her words before Jungkook's dominant kisses drowned her...

He knew that they were at his office, he didn't think about doing anything other than kissing.

In other words, it was always his wife overthinking every time, so wasn't she the one being a bit too dirty-minded?

When Yerim walked out of the president's office, she had already cursed Lisa more than a thousand times.

She didn't think that Lisa would be so reckless, transferring her away. What was worse was that the president agreed.

Was it to force her to quit? Would she back down in the face of danger?

No, it was just a branch office, right? She'll prevail.

She won't be easily beaten by that woman, Lisa...

A little bit of impatience would spoil big plans...

"Director Yerim... are you alright?" seeing her cloudy expression, her assistant asked.

"Starting from today, I am no longer your director... I've been transferred to the branch office in Japan to be the new general manager."

After speaking, Yerim began packing with a grim expression on her face...

The news about Yerim's transferral spread across the corporation, and some gossiped that it was because she had offended the president's wife.

That was why she was banished...

When it was time to leave work, Jungkook held Lisa's hand as they left the headquarters.

The two decided to return directly to their home at South Hill Manor, but as soon as they got onto the car, Jungkook got a call.

"Young Master... your mother was hospitalized," the maid anxiously said.

Oh, really?" Jungkook's reaction was indifferent.

"Yes, she was just taken to the Asan medical center. Her blood pressure is very high, the doctor said that it was very dangerous."

"Okay, I got it."

"When will you come to the hospital?" the maid continued to ask.

"I'll see."

After speaking, Jungkook hung up...

"What's wrong?" Lisa could tell that something must've happened from the call.

"The family maid called, she said that my mom has high blood pressure and is hospitalized."

"Oh... then you should go and check up on her." Although Lisa really didn't like Mrs. Jeon, she wouldn't stop Jungkook from visiting his mother. After all, that was his mom.

Out of her expectations, Jungkook didn't respond to her, but rather called Director Jung.

After hanging up, he said, "According to Director Jung, it's not a big deal. It's only her blood pressure that is slightly high."

"Still, you should go check up on her, she was hospitalized," Lisa tried to persuade him.

"No... she just wants to force me back to admit to my faults, which are non-existent. I won't give in so easily... Also, she shouldn't have treated you like that. This time, I won't forgive her so easily."

"But she's your mother."

"And, you're my wife..." Jungkook actually had a valid reason to be mad at his mother.

"Uh... fine. If people knew, they'd probably accuse you of forgetting your mother after getting a wife." Although Lisa said that, she still felt the sweetness in her heart. After all, Jungkook was willing to do that for her.

"If I always cared about what others said, I wouldn't be here with you today..."

"Fine... you're so stubborn." Lisa laughed.

Then, the two returned to South Hill Manor together...

– At the Asan medical center –

"Did you call him yet?" Mrs. Jeon stared at the maid with an unpleasant expression.

"I did."

"What did he say?"

"Young Master said... he got it."

"What did he get? Did you ask when he'll come to see me?" Mrs. Jeon venomously asked.

"I did, but the Young Master said..." The maid seemed to be a tad bit afraid of Mrs. Jeon and didn't dare to tell the truth.

"What did he say?"

"He said he'll see."

"What? I'm hospitalized, and he's going to see...? My son wasn't like this before! He was obedient! It must be that little bitch, Lisa, who's stopping him. I'm seriously angry right now."

"Your blood pressure is just slightly high, you didn't have to check into the hospital and cause trouble for our son... what were you thinking?" Mr. Jeon hopelessly looked at his wife.

"What do you know? This is a tactic, if I don't do something to oppress her, the Jeon Family will become the Oh Family, don't you understand? Did you not hear what the others said? What kind of person is Mr. Oh? He's a profiteer who's pining for our family's wealth. That's why he got that bitch to stir up trouble in our family. I am telling you... for as long as I live, I won't allow that little vixen to do what she wants, you know that? I'll make our son leave her..."

Mrs. Jeon seemed to be very determined...

"You're hopeless..." Mr. Jeon futilely looked at his wife and turned around to leave.

It was so tiring to see his own family fight...

However, Mrs. Jeon seemed to have no intention to self-reflect...

"Call kook, tell him I'm critically ill... tell him that the doctor said that my life is in danger," pointing at her maid, Mrs. Jeon said.

"Madam, is that really wise? What would Young Master do if he knew I was lying...?" The maid seemed to be quite worried.

"I told you to call! What's with the nonsense, are you the boss or am I?"

Having been oppressed by Mrs. Jeon again, the maid quietly took out her phone and dialed again...

"Sorry, the subscriber you have dialed is powered off."

"Madam... Young Master turned off his phone..." the maid said quietly.

"Maybe it's out of battery. It'll be on soon. Keep calling, don't stop." Mrs. Jeon was pestering her son as if she was mentally ill.

Jungkook saw that coming, so he turned his phone off long ago...

It was because he had another phone that Lee and Lisa could reach him on.

So, he didn't have to worry about an emergency at the company...

"Doll... you never cared about the others before, where did you get the interest to go against a mere employee at our company today?" Jungkook became happy as soon as thought back at how Lisa dealt with Yerim today. It had been a while since he saw his wife being so cute.

"It was because she was showing off... She was really courting death so of course, I had to do her a favor and send her on her way..."

"Why didn't you fire her. You won't be annoyed at her if you don't see her." Jungkook felt quite indifferent towards Yerim, even leaning a bit towards disgust.

So, he had been looking for an opportunity to fire her...

However, Lisa said, "I must know my enemy, I can't let her hide in the dark. If I fired her, who knows where she'll cause trouble next. If I leave her in the company, I can observe her anytime... Of course, Japan is very far, but I trust that you'll arrange everything, leaving no chance for that woman to cause damage."

Jungkook adoringly looked at her. "You're the smartest person in the world. You're the one who made the proposal and the one who made the decision. Now I am the one who has to clean up after you, how smart."

"Of course, you're my husband, right?" Lisa laughed.

When the two returned to South Hill Manor, it was already six thirty in the evening.

Uncle Li had already prepared a delicate dinner...

Lisa and Jungkook began eating after washing up.

"There's too much rice, I can't finish it all." Because Lisa had a low appetite lately, she couldn't finish the full bowl of rice that the maid had prepared.

"Young Madam, I'll take it away for you..." Observing this, a maid hurried over and was about to take her bowl.

"Give it to me," Jungkook suddenly said.

The maid was slightly stunned, as if she didn't really understand Jungkook's intentions...

"Give me the rice..."

"Kook... those are my leftovers... we're well-off, don't be stingy over a bit of rice, haha," Lisa jokingly said.

"No problem... I'm not disgusted by you."

Jungkook took Lisa's leftover rice from the hands of the maid and elegantly pushed it into his own bowl.

Then, he slowly ate it...

Lisa's heart suddenly skipped a beat...

Her husband, a clean freak, would actually eat her leftovers...

She never thought that he would do that to anyone, not even his parents.

To him, was she more than his wife?

Perhaps in some sense, she already surpassed everything...

Lisa was moved; she held her chin with her hand and silently watched Jungkook eat...

The face that Jungkook made while eating was the prettiest out of everyone she had seen...

He was slow and methodical... he even looked handsome chewing.

Although he didn't like smiling, maybe it was his cold temperament that attracted her all those years ago.

She didn't care about the looks that the world shot her and made the decision to vibrantly and passionately fall in love with him...

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jungkook raised her head to see Lisa staring at him with her chin in her hands.
