"Are you feeling unwell?"

Jungkook asked Lisa in the car as they left the office. He was still looking straight ahead as he asked her. For a moment, Lisa wasn't sure if he was talking to her. She shook her head.

"No, sir. I'm fine."

"Your face looks thinner than usual."

Jungkook turned his head and looked at her. He stretched out his large hand and touched her face. Taken aback, Liss closed her eyes and slightly pulled her head back.

"It's not my face. It's because your hands are too big."

"People are going to think our company starves their employees and forces them to work."

"I'll take care of it."

"How?"

Jungkook put his elbow on the car window and leaned his head on his hand as he asked. Over two weeks had passed since Lisa had become his secretary at KeumOh. After the meeting with Kim MinSuk, Lisa continued to follow Jungkook around as he moved through his daily schedule. However, after that late night call, he only treated her as a company employee.

"How will you take care of it? Are you going to hand me a report on how you're going to go on a strict diet to gain some weight?"

Lisa didn't know how to respond as her mouth opened in confusion.

"Is that what you'd like me to do?"

"I'm joking."

Lisa's pretty brows furrowed as she smiled awkwardly. When he saw that she was looking at him pitifully, Jungkook asked.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I'm only smiling because of your joke."

Jungkook burst out laughing and blurted out.

"Park Nari."

"Yes, sir?"

"Do you want to share a meal with me?"

It was currently dinnertime, so this wasn't an unusual question. Lisa tried to figure out the true intentions behind his friendly behavior and cautiously nodded her head.

"Yes, sir."

"What kinds of food do you like?"

"I like everything. I'm not picky."

"How does Korean food sound? I like traditional Korean food."

"Alright."

Jungkook ordered his driver to go to the Korean restaurant that he frequented regularly. The driver turned the car around with ease. Lisa stared outside as her mind began to fill with thoughts.

2 weeks had already passed since she entered YongSung. Now, only one month was left before the business trip to Shenzhen, China. Two days ago, General Manager Cha had checked her passport information. This meant that there was a high possibility that she was also going to join them.

Because of this, Lisa was trying not to disturb Jeon Jungkook's mood until then. Lisa's mission was to go to Shenzhen and follow Jungkook to the lab. There, she would gather data and pass it over to SungHo. SungHo would then take that data and produce an even better product from the pharmaceutical company he had bought.

Of course, there was still a huge possibility that foreign companies would refuse to buy them due to the retribution they might receive from YongSung, so stealing the new drug samples was also part of the plan. Lisa tried to glean any information about the new medical company as she worked in KeumOh, but that information was kept strictly confidential even within the company.
