The Villain's Wife

152

"President, we are ready." Seulgi nodded as he finished his call with Sehun. "They saw Jack in the castle. But... they were not able to confirm if the madam was there."

"All right." Lisa said as they walked towards their private plane.

"Excuse me, President Manoban?"

Lisa stopped walking and turned towards the woman approaching them. "I am Demi Liang, from the Lee Group. Is it possible to have a short conversation with you?"

"No," he frowned and started walking. However, the woman walked in front of her, blocking his way.

"President Manoban, It is very important that I - we talked to you."

"Lady, my boss still has a flight. Can you move?" Seulgi glared at the woman a few inches shorter than him. He immediately wondered if the woman was a model sent by the enemies to try to seduce Lisa.

"We?" Lisa asked as he lifted an eyebrow.

"Director Lee is in the VIP Lounge of the airport. He is waiting for you."

"Are you going to move? Or..."

"Please... the Director is sick. He just wanted to have five minutes of your time." She begged. In response, Lisa looked at Seulgi.

"How many minutes do we have?"

"Twenty-two minutes and three seconds." Seulgi answered as he glared at the woman.

"Then let's go." Lisa said. He then eyed Seulgi as if telling him not to say anything. The woman gave Lisa a polite smile before he led them into the VIP lounge of the airport.

"Ah... I already told you. He will come and see me!" Isaac Lee immediately beamed when he saw Lisa. He stood from his velvet chair and eyed the younger man sitting next to him. "I knew he will see me." He then walked towards Lisa and attempted to give him a hug.

"Who are you?"

Isaac's face immediately darkened. He stopped in his tracks and stared at Lisa, wondering as if he was telling a joke. Seeing his serious expression, Isaac knitted his brows. "Is that how you talk to your grandfather?" Bitterness laced his words as he watched Lisa sat on the vacant seat.

"You talk as if... we know each other, Director Lee. I only have five minutes to spare. Get to the point."

It was as if there was a lump in Isaac's throat. He stared in disbelief at Lisa.

"Four minutes and fifty-five seconds." Seulgi added, waking up the old man from his stupor.

"I believe you have something important to say to me?" Lisa asked, amused at the older man's reaction. The only reason why he agreed to see the old man is that he does not want anyone to suspect him. Lisa wanted to make it look as if he is doing something normal. He wanted everyone watching him see that he does not have any plans aside from going back to Seoul after visiting Shanghai.

"I..." the old man stuttered.

"Well... you can't really pretend that you don't know my father." The younger man said as lines appeared in the middle of his brows. "He is Isaac Lee, your grandfather and I am Thomas Lee, your uncle." The man added, his tone stern.

"And?" Lisa raised an eyebrow. Of course, he already knew them. Thomas was adopted by Isaac and he was the current CEO of Lee Group. However, he is not planning to acknowledge them. "I already said that I am not interested in any business cooperation. Did you want to see me because of my late wife's properties in Singapore?"

An awkward silence permeated the place as both Isaac, Thomas and the woman named Demi stared at Lisa, dumbstruck. Was he playing dumb? Was he intentionally saying nonsense? All these questions swirled in their minds, making them confused at Lisa's behavior.
