Lalisa was exhausted after working the whole day. She came back to the Empire Garden and directly fell onto her bed. The servants had changed the bedding. When she was about to fall asleep, her cell phone rang. She had wanted to end the call without even picking it up, but then she remembered it was another cell phone of hers ringing. So she picked up the call with her eyes closed and asked sleepily, “Hello, Min Lisa.”

Kai heard Lalisa’s sleepy voice and asked grumpily, “I’ve got the tickets to fashion week. When will you give me your designs?”

Lalisa who was previously feeling so sleepy jumped up when she heard this. She asked in excitement, “Really?” She didn’t expect Kai was so capable and got the ticket with the two design drawings. After all, even established brands wouldn’t be able to get the ticket so easily, not to mention that The Queen that had just been founded!

If everything went well, The Queen would create a big stir and become a famous brand popular among the upper class.

After assuring Kai that she would give him her works soon, Lalisa hung up the phone and walked to the bathroom humming a tune. She stood in front of the mirror of the bathroom and looked at the skin mask on her face. She then pursed her lips and peeled off the mask…

After the shower, Lalisa called Jungkook, telling him she was already in the Empire Garden and not to worry about her. Jungkook just grunted. Feeling the phone signal was poor, Lalisa asked with a frown, “Where are you?”

“Underground.”

Lalisa widened her eyes. “Underground?”

Jungkook. “Yes, open the door.”

Lalisa jumped up to go to her cloakroom and open the basement. Soon Jungkook came out from the elevator. Lalisa stared at him with wide eyes. “Why… why are you here?”

Jungkook didn’t answer her. He paused when he saw her face, then he put the food in his hands on the table and went to the bathroom as he said, “The lock of the basement must be changed. It’s too easy to open and not safe.”

Lalisa didn’t follow him in, but walked towards the food and unpacked the food as she said, “It’s just that you’re too professional at unlocking things that should be locked. That lock is not so easy to open.”

Lalisa’s eyes lit up when she saw the crayfish. She walked towards her bedroom carrying the food, took out a tablecloth from inside a drawer, laid it on the ground and sat down to eat it. “We’ve got a ticket for Paris Fashion Week. Kai is really good. I just gave him the design drawings the night before, and he has got the ticket so soon! I think if everything works well, The Queen will surpass the Jeon’s soon.”

“Okay.” Jungkook walked out of the bathroom. He didn’t take a shower or wash his hair but actually washed his hands and casually undid two buttons of his white shirt. Lalisa looked up only to see this handsome man undoing his buttons. She swallowed her saliva and hurriedly looked away. “Come over and eat it.”

Jungkook looked at her blushing face and smiled. He strode over, sat beside her, opened a glass of juice and handed it to her. “You must be exhausted today, right?”

Lalisa took a look at and found him so attractive at this moment. She looked him up and down and her face was getting redder and redder. Exhausted… well… exhausted… Why did this common word arouse such strange thoughts out of her? She lunged to her feet and ran towards the bathroom as she said, “I’m full. You eat it. By the way, you’ll have to sleep in the basement tonight…”

Jungkook watched her suddenly run into the bathroom, then lowered his head to look at his bare chest, gave a pleased smile and began to peel the crayfish. He put the peeled crayfish into a box and shouted to the bathroom when he finished peeling it. “The crayfish have been peeled. Come out and eat it.”
