MR. Jeon, The Heart Bandit | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 3

Four years later.

"Miss Lisa, this way please"

The receptionist could not believe that Lisa, the fashion designer who made her name in Paris was actually a young woman.

And she already had a son.

Her skin was luscious, her features elegant, her bangs made her look like Barbie doll, her curving, big bright doe eyes were vibrant. She was wearing a classic black dress accentuating her long white, and alluring legs.

Her red lips were slight curled, and She emanated all the exuberance of an empress, making her unapproachable.

The young boy she was leading shred her elegant features in his dainty face that seemed to be carved out of precious stone. His dark pupils resembled in the style of an English gentleman, at once elegant and handsome.

Meanwhile, the receptionist led mother and son to an elevator.

Inside, as she kept glancing at the young boy, she could not help but crouch and ask the child, "Hey, kiddo. What is your name?"

The young boy smiled sweetly. "My name is Lee Soobin"

"That's a very nice name!"

"Of course" The toddler grinned happily. "Mommy named me"

The elevator door then opened, but as the receptionist was about to speak another woman dashed and lunged at them.

"Lili, I've missed you so much!"

"Get off. You're strangling me" Almost choked of breath, Lisa quickly pulled Kim Jisoo out of her neck"

"Oh my Cucumber is every adorable! Give me a kiss!"

Unperturbed, Jisoo then pinched the young boy's cheeks lovingly.

The young boy merely made a fanning motion with his little hand in front of his nose. "Sister Jisoo, you didn't brush your teeth"

"Nonsense"

Jisoo tapped the toddler on his forehead. "Rascal, just a few days apart and you need a beating!"

Cheekily poking his tongue, the young boy quickly ran off to cling to his mother's legs.

Meanwhile, Lisa asked indifferently "Jisoo, how has the company been these few days?"

In return, Jisoo merely threw a careful glance at the receptionist.

Flustered, she left. "I shall take my leave. Please continue with your conversation"

"Guess what I've learned" Jisoo then said with a lowered voice after looking around them. "Did you know? Recent word is saying that Min Group is about to bought out!"

"An acquisition?" Lisa felt the pang of bad luck at the grievous news, right after she was extended an invitation "By whom?"

"KBS International" Jisoo was increasingly agitated. "Oh My God I'm about to faint!"

Lisa's brow wrinkled. "KBS International?"

Having been busy taking care of her son over the years. she could not spare the effort to concern herself with news about commerce.

As she was putting her hands together, Jisoo appeared as if she was lovestruck. "KBS International is the transnational conglomerate belonging to the Jeon family! The Jeon have been holding talks with KBS over the last few days, and rumor has it that a hottie is going to be parachuted as president"

Lisa shook her head helplessly. "Where did you hear that from? And have you actually met the hottie before?"

"I didn't, But I am sure that the parachuted president would be a Jeon!"

****

Four years ago, after Lisa given birth to her son, one of the outfits she had unwillingly designed claimed the crow in a Parisian competition.

She enjoyed a meteoric rise since then, with Min Group extending her an invitation for the position of chief designer.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Lisa had sent Jisoo her assistant of three years____ to scout the situation in the company. Never would she have thought that there would be a change in leadership even before she met them.

"Soobin, play with Jisoo for a while Mommy will be busy"

Crouching, Lisa gently put her palm over the child's head.

Four years ago, when she had lost everything and fled overseas helplessly while pregnant, there were moments when she hated the boy.

She had thought that her miseries were because of him.

But when he was born, she found that all her sacrifices were worth it.

"Roger! Yes, Madam!"

The child stood to attention and made a salute with his tiny hand. He was at once charming and adorable.

Meanwhile, Lisa knocked on the door to an office and entered.

"Greeting, Miss Lisa. I've been looking forward to meet you" Chairman Min hurried to her with an apologetic smile. "Regrettably, the company is about to change hand....and right after we've invited you to join us here"

Lisa smiled faintly; her mannerisms were entirely of a mature woman. "It's fine, Chairman Min. Do forgive my frankness, but why is your organization being bought out by KBS?"

Before Lisa had arrived, she had especially spent time to study Min Group.

While the organization was certainly not first in River Town, their influence was not to be underestimated either.

So why would such a large company be bought out almost at whim?

Chairman Min lowered his head and sighed. "Miss Lisa, to tell the truth, our Min family has presided over the company for generations as it excelled on foreign soil, but when it comes to River Town, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Four years ago, the Jeon family was declining, and yet they managed to found KBS international in just two years and take Europe by storm....being always overseas, you probably wouldn't know that after the raise of CBS, all major companies across River Town have been acquired"

Chairman Min appeared to be frightened at the very mention of it.

Even Lisa was slightly astonished.

Having grow up in River Town, she was most familiar with the Jeon family.

They were an old powerhouse that stood for over a century had once been he undisputed leader of the city. However, when their head of the household had suddenly died, the entire household was left in utter shambles, with rumors claiming that someone had seized the opportunity to claim power, leaving their entire family ruined with one stroke.

Never could she thought that after just four years, the Jeon family experienced a resurgence and made their way into the European market to ascend as true overlords.

And with Chairman Min had told her, Lisa could imagine that the Jeon family must have a formidable mastermind.
