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

Chapter 18

Later, she tried looking for work, but was never hired once the other party learned that her name was Lisa.

As if discreetly instructed by someone to prevent that.

With nowhere to go and drifting through the streets, she gritted her teeth and took what savings she had to go overseas where she would make a living.

She worked to such exhaustion that she was caught with threatened abortion on one occasion. Her child almost did not survive.

That was when she realized how important the child was to her.

Over the last four years, she experienced much, just as she began to see things as they were.

She simply considered the injustice Inna and Dongwook exacted upon her a repayment for raising her.

When she returned to the country recently, she swore that she would not have any dealings with Dongwook and his family.

Everyone would mind their own business.

None of them would cross one another.

And what she would do now was protect her son.

However, when Lisa was about to get off work, she received Lee Dongwook's invitation card.

It was huge, red and celebratory. She tore it open to read the arrogant and bragging contents marked in golden hot stamping fonts.

There would be a grand engagement party tomorrow afternoon.

Bride-to-be; "Tzuyu.

Bridegroom-to-be: Jungkook.

A picture of the couple was attached next to it. Tzuyu was smiling very sweetly, but Jungkook appeared impassive even slightly reluctant.

That being said, he was explosively handsome whatever expression he wore.

Who could have crafted his good-looks?

"Let me see!" Jisoo reached out and clawed it was away, finally setting her eyes upon Jungkook's face.

Breathing hurt for her then as her teeth gnashed, and she shuddered.

"That dumb fool Tzuyu....that pile of cow dung!" She roared abruptly.

Once Jisoo thought about the steamy scenes of Tzuyu and Jungkook's first night.....

What the hell. Why would her man-god be hogged by such a pig!

No! She could not accept that!

When Soobin saw Jungkook's divine face that resembled his own, there was a discreet glimmer in her eye.

"Your eyes will hurt if you look at it for a long" Lisa was unusually irritated and simply dumped the invitation into a bin.

She would never go even if it kills her.

****

A sheet of gloomy cloud shrouded the evening sky. Dull thunder rumbled over all directions in the company of lighting piercing the horizons.

Lisa realized that she forgot her car key when she reached the basement parking.

"Wait for me here. I'll go back to fetch the keys" Lisa hurriedly made her way back as she spoke.

It was about to rain. Without an umbrella, she must make haste.

Lisa quickly returned to her office and did a thorough search but found nothing.

"Weird....where did it go?" She murmured.

"Looking for this?"

The voice behind her left her promptly freezing.

With the sky darkening and no lights turned on around them, Jungkook was leaning by the doorway. His long legs were crossed, with a hand in his pocket and the other holding a bunch of keys.

In the dimness, his obsidian eyes twinkled his blade thin lips curling in a cool arc.

A lethal allure

Before she could compose herself, Lisa was  caught off guard by the attractiveness.

How could anyone withstand it?

Nonetheless, she asked, "You stole my keys?"

"I found it"

"Then please return it to me, President Jeon" Lisa inched a few steps towards him and spread her palm.

Malice lurked in Jungkook's brow. "What if I don't?"

'What?'

'Such gall even after taking my keys. Did fish Shark give you that courage?'

Still, Lisa held back her raising annoyance. "Those are my keys. If you would kindly return it to me, President Jeon I'll owe you and your entire family"

Jungkook tutted and lifted the keys over his head. "Come and get it!"

Lisa was lefts speechless.

What was wrong with his head? Did he not have his fill of teasing her!?

He was almost 1.9 meters tall, not to mention that his limbs were long. On the other hand, she was a best 1.70 even with  her high heels with almost thirty centimeters setting them apart, how would she take it back?

Was this going to be another monkey show?

Rolling up her sleeves, Lisa felt a deja'vu of impending mutual destruction.

"Excuse me, President Jeon!" She cried.
