The Perfect Wife

Chapter 8

Is this how it feels when the blood completely leaves your body?

Lisa paled as she looked at Jungkook. The cellphone in his hand looked like a dead piece of plastic. Lisa’s cold eyes slowly calmed down.

“It’s just my personal cellphone.”

“Was there a need to use it so secretively like this? Putting it in your bra? Whose name is this under?”

“Am I being interrogated right now?”

“Answer the questions.”

His face leaned closer to hers. His eyes looked indifferent and cold. Because of his gaze, Lisa felt as if the air around her had completely frozen over. Lisa calmly looked back into those eyes.

It had been a stupid mistake to suddenly come here after receiving President Min’s call. She would have found out Jungkook’s objective and what kind of deal had been struck if she had only waited a few more hours.

However, the whirling thoughts in her head had caused her to move around dangerously. All thanks to her ridiculous emotions. If I trip up now, it’ll be the end. If I tell him, it’ll also be the end. So…

“It was Taehyung.”

She had to go all out.

“What?”

“The person you’re curious about, the man I’ve been talking to, and the owner of this cellphone. It’s Taehyung.”

In that moment, the air around her turned into daggers.

Jungkook didn’t move. He just glared at her with a terrifying coldness in his eyes. Lisa didn’t avoid his gaze. This was because 6 months ago, at 3 AM, Lisa had felt the same way outside of his bedroom.

That night, nobody knew she was there. She couldn’t even tell anyone that she was there. Therefore, she couldn’t tell anyone what she had seen. That day, Lisa had hacked into their security systems and completely blocked it all.

The security guard in the room with all the surveillance monitors would drowse off at around 3 or 4 AM. Additionally, whenever Lisa planned on entering the data room, she always put a weak sleeping tablet in the cup of coffee she gave him late in the evenings. Therefore, he would definitely succumb to sleep.

Carefully, Lisa headed for the server room in the basement. Every night, all of HyunJin’s data would be backed up in those servers. Once every quarter of the year, she would go down and open up this treasure chest of information.

Lisa went up the emergency stairs to the 4th floor. She carefully opened the security door and entered Jungkook’s wing of the house. Right when she opened the door, she heard noises.

Her breath caught in her throat as she hid herself in the shadows. Was Jungkook awake at this time? Her husband was a creature of habit. He went to sleep at 12 and woke up at 6 in the morning. He started the day by going to the gym or swimming. His packed morning was like clockwork.

However, the person exiting his bedroom door wasn’t Jungkook. Lisa silently peeked out of the shadows. The person adjusted their clothes and left the bedroom. It was Yeri. Lisa wanted Jungkook to feel how she felt in that moment.
