Confession

Lisa, who was holding a very fat cat in her arms, gave Sunmi a polite smile.

They sat down on a nearby table.

"It's already been a week since your wedding to Jungkook" Sunmi commented.

"Ah, yes, about a week." Lisa nodded.

"Really, that child! He finally got married but didn't even take you out to a honeymoon. He really wronged you." Sunmi apologetically said.

"I know he's busy." Lisa replied with a smile.

"I knew you were a very kind and considerate girl." Sunmi grabbed Lisa's right hand and held it on top of the table. She then continued: "The company really has been busy. After all, we recently took a large sum of money out of it."

Lisa's expression froze, and her eyes flashed towards Sunmi.

"Auntie Jeon has no other meaning with those words. Lisa, don't mind me." Sunmi's expression turned worried. "I just wanted to explain why Jungkook traveled to HK right after marrying you. The collaboration planned with the company in HK is really important, and there can be no room for error. When Jungkook put forward the idea of helping Manoban Group in the shareholders meeting, he was meet with great pressure, you know. You have to try and be understanding."

"I know. I will treat Jungkook well. Thank you for your concern." Lisa pulled her hand out of Liu Fang's grip and moved it under the table to scratch the chin of the orange cat on her lap.

"Then Auntie Jeon is relieved." Sunmi then asked: "Are you here to see Jungkook today?"

"No." Lisa shook her head. "I opened this coffee shop and just passed by to have a look."

"Oh?" Sunmi looked surprised. "I didn't know Manoban family's daughter knew how to do business. Your coffee shop is quite well-known in the area."

"I just opened the store for fun. I'm nowhere near as amazing as Aunt Liu." Lisa replied.

"What amazing? I only manage a small part of the company's business. It can't be compared to you. In the future, won't you be managing the entire Manoban Group?" Sunmi tentatively asked.

"Ah." Lisa shook her head. "I don't like doing business. Owning this coffee shop isn't as complicated as it sounds. And my father already told me that if I didn't want to manage Manoban Group, I could ask a professional to do it on my behalf."

"Hire a director?" Sunmi was flabbergasted.

"Yes." Lisa affirmed. "But I don't think we'll do that anymore. In the future, Jungkook will probably help me take care of it instead."

"You want Jungkook to help you manage Manoban Group?" Sunmi's fake smile was starting to crack.

"Yes." Lisa gave her a gentle and pure smile.

Sunmi looked at Lisa's innocent expression and felt jealousy blooming in her heart. Why are there people in this world that didn't need to do anything, yet have countless people loving them? They live comfortably and happily, all without lifting a finger; they're so blessed it's disgusting.

"Ah, at the shareholder's meeting, Jungkook did say that the Manoban family and Jeon family were going to be one family in the future. As a matter of fact..." Then, as if realizing her mistake, Sunmi stiffly coughed and changed the subject. "Anyway, you haven't visited the Jeon family home for so long. When are you planning on coming by? Jungkook's father hasn't said anything, but it's obvious that he's upset."

"...I'll ask Jungkook about it tonight." Lisa hesitated and didn't agree to anything.

"Alright. Then we'll wait for you two at home." Sunmi looked down at her watch and said: "It's getting pretty late, I have to go back to work."
