Master Jeon's Pampered Wife

Lisa was startled. Suddenly, she laughed bitterly and quietly lowered her gaze...

Jungkook gently pushed the bowl of soup to her. In a very low voice, he said, "Medicine can't cure fake illnesses, liquor cannot dispel real sorrow. After you get used to it, you won't find it too hard to swallow."

"I know... but sometimes, you need a very, very long time before you can adapt, then adapting itself becomes a habit, doesn't it?"

Lisa breathed in and she smiled calmly.

"Thinking that you need time to adapt just because you have hope in your heart that you can't let go of... Are you still mourning the past?" Jungkook looked at her sagely, his smile with a slight chill.

"As much as you mourn, you won't be able to go back to the past. Sometimes, I'm just a little curious as to how did I fail so tragically."

Lisa laughed bitterly, then she lifted her hand slowly and lifted the bowl of soup. She quietly drank it. Just a gulp in, she suddenly remembered that her car was still at the entertainment club, so she looked up and asked, "Right, my car..."

She had turned her bag upside down and could not find the car keys.

"It's right outside. I let my assistant drive it over. The car keys are on the coffee table in the living room," Jungkook said, pointing in the direction of the living room.

Her spoon stopped mid-way to her mouth. She thought about it for a while then decided to say, "Thanks! You've helped me out a few times now. Previously, I keep saying that I need to treat you to a meal. I still owe you one from the last time. I wonder if you're free today to let me do the honors if you're willing."

Her eyes were filled with faint gratitude and sincerity, and her slightly pale face had started to warm up too.

This was out of courtesy. Having been in the business for quite a few years now, she obviously understood that one should know how to be grateful.

"That's such a sincere invitation. If I don't do you the honor, it'll seem a little rude."

This time, Jungkook did not decline especially since he was still resting that day. The next day, he would go to Glory World and officially take office as the new chairman of Glory World Corporation. He had actually been secretly observing the entire Glory World Corporation operations these past few days, and he had heard that the woman before him had produced rather noteworthy results.

Subconsciously, he had been paying some attention to her.

When she heard his reply, Lisa's lips slowly curved into a faint smile. She said courteously, "Thank you in advance. Have you thought about where you'd like to go?"

"Seoul's changed too much. You decide where to go," Jungkook plainly answered.

"I decide? Are you sure that you'll like the dishes I order?" Lisa could not help but laugh.

"As long as it's on the lighter side. However, come to think of it, your choice should be fine."

"Mmm, got it. Then, I'll bring you to the place I used to frequent. I think you'll quite like it."

Lisa suddenly remembered the place that she frequented to have a rare sumptuous meal. She recalled it being quite decent.

"Okay. I haven't been back in a long while, so driving around is a pretty good idea. Take me around to see the changes in Seoul today then." An easiness flashed across Jungkook's calm gaze when he looked at her.

She hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Mmm, it's my privilege."

"Have breakfast then. We'll go out in a bit."
