They got dressed and according to the plan they headed out to visit the penthouse.

As predicted, the press was hounding the front of the building. There were over fifty reporters who wanted to take the first photograph of the star couple. They were now the strongest business couple – number one in the country. Lisa was well aware of the fact and so she was taking all the precautions to keep distance from the press unless her HR department gave a green signal. Her relationship was huge news and it had to be announced in a proper way.

So Lisa and Irene exited the building from the rear side through the parking area. They came to the parking where their car was already waiting for them. There was another car of security personals waiting behind them. The drive to the 'House of Busan' was a short one and they reached it in twenty minutes.

'House of Busan' was an impressive building. There were 49 floors. Canopies of trees laden with fiery orange flowers surrounded the building. It was located in one of the most exclusive real estates of the city. There were five security personals that were permanently positioned at the entrance of the building allowing very few people to enter the premises. They all knew who Lisa was and currently she had become very popular owing to the sudden announcement by the TV news channels about her relationship, so they also knew Irene. Although everyone maintained a cool exterior, they were all dying to see the young and beautiful Irene who had captured the heart of the most eligible bachelor in the city.

Irene and Lisa were ushered to the private elevator and security people didn't allow anyone to come near them. Irene felt strange. She wasn't used to this kind of treatment, but Lisa had mentioned to her that this was important. She was waiting to reach the penthouse so that they could be alone again.

When Lisa entered the password and opened the front door, Irene let out a sigh. The luxury penthouse was beautiful.

As she was looking around the penthouse, she couldn't help notice that luggage had already arrived. She took Lisa's hand and leaned on her arms while walking and discovering the various rooms. There were four rooms in all and a big living room in which all the rooms opened. A foyer led to the living room. There was a small room adjacent to the foyer.

"What is this room for?" asked Irene pointing at the door of the room.

"That's where all the security will be stationed," replied Lisa.

"You mean we will be under 24x7 security surveillance? We will be watched all the time." Asked Irene with disgust on her face.

"It's important darling," she replied with a slight smile. She knew Irene hated being watched by others.

Irene made a face. Lisa stroked her hair lovingly and took her to the kitchen. An old housekeeper greeted them. She looked very gentle and was wearing a dress.

"Good morning Young Miss and Young Mistress," she greeted them.

Irene was taken aback. She was too shy. She'd never had the luxury of taking the services of a housekeeper.

"G... Good morning," Irene stuttered with a smile.

"Please prepare us a nice lunch Mrs. Jiao," requested Lisa.

"She has always been a housekeeper here Irene. She will take care of this house very nicely. Don't worry," she said to Irene pulling her out of the kitchen.


Lisa announced that they had to visit someplace. They went to the elevator. The elevator stopped at the 47th floor and Irene saw someone entering the nightclub that was located there. She was sure that she saw Wang Ka-yee. She was surprised and focused on him, but by that time Ka-yee had gone inside the club. She waved her hand and sighed. She made a mental note to call him whenever possible. It had been so many days since she had been non-communicable.
