Rosé immediately choked on the apple and coughed. She turned her head and opened her eyes wide. "You guys talk, don't mind me. I was bored and just came to check on my brother's condition."
As she spoke, she continued to bite the apple and secretly glared at Lisa, who was laughing lightly.
Lisa just smiled faintly. He knew how serious Rosé was at the company, but at the same time, she could still act like a big child here. Lisa didn't tease Rosé anymore and just glanced at Jisoo thoughtfully.
Jisoo pretended not to notice Lisa's gaze and took two more sips of tea. After placing the cup, he crossed his arms and watched the sunset. "It's getting late. I didn't notice it when we first played."
"Then stay for dinner before leaving. Chanyeol, you stay here after dinner. I have something to discuss with you."
Chanyeol nodded. "OK."
However, Rosé frowned. "Brother Chan rode my car here, he didn't drive. If you want him to stay after dinner, then I'll be waiting for him, right. I couldn't go home late. Rain, that spoiled girl can't sleep without me."
She vaguely felt that Lisa seemed to have some sort of conspiracy. She frowned as she looked at him.
Lisa immediately glanced at Jisoo, who was about to put on his suit jacket. "Isn't that simple? Leave your car keys and let Chanyeol drive your car home later."
Rosé was about to ask, 'then what about me?', but then she stopped and pursed her lips. Clearly, she understood the meaning of Lisa's words.
Jisoo could hear the implicit meaning behind Lisa's words and said nothing. He just snorted in disapproval, as if he was embarrassed by his actions.
"Jisoo." Lisa saw the disdain in Jisoo's eyes and smiled. "You don't need me to remind you of this, do you?"
"You don't have to say anything." Jisoo glared at him and said in an unfriendly tone.
Rosé put the apple core in her hand and said softly, "This is the perfect time to take a taxi. America is not like China, where you only can take a taxi until six or seven at night. I can just take a taxi."
Without waiting for Lisa to say anything, Jisoo glanced at her. "You want me to invite you?"
Rosé looked at him expressionlessly. "I'm not used to sitting in the same place other women often sit. Is there a problem?"
Jisoo instantly frowned. "What other woman?"
Rosé just pursed her lips and didn't explain. She stood up and said to Lisa and Chanyeol, "My hands are a bit sticky, I need to wash them. You guys continue chatting."
With that, she turned and walked away as if she couldn't see Jisoo.
Jisoo looked at her back with a strange expression. When Lisa started laughing, he suddenly turned his body around and asked with a ferocious expression, "What are you laughing at?"
Lisa just smiled and shook his head. After that, he sipped the tea in his cup, put it down, and said in a way that was neither quick nor slow. "It's been eleven years, this is the first time I've seen our Rosé attitude towards you, Jisoo. It's so difficult."
Chanyeol didn't say anything. He just pursed his lips casually and looked at Jisoo's angry face, which was completely darkened because of Lisa's words.
He then suddenly opened his mouth and laughed, "A heart that has been burning for 11 years has finally been frozen by a block of ice. It's not easy to thaw again."
After being taunted by the two at the same time, Jisoo's dark face suddenly turned clear, followed by an unapproved "Tch -" sound. With a look of disdain, he said, "The two of you truly lived up to the fact that you two have been colluding with each other at Manoban Enterprise for so many years, being able to form a common enemy whenever you want."
"Is it?" Lisa looked at Chanyeol with a smile. The latter also shrugged innocently.
****
After having dinner with Lisa in the cafeteria, Rosé really didn't want to ride Jisoo's car. As she walked out of the rehabilitation center, she wanted to take a taxi but instead saw the usual black Bentley parked in front of the entrance.
Jisoo had come out ten minutes ago and was obviously waiting for her.
She looked around for the taxi and then at the Bentley parked in front of her. As Lisa said, he, Jisoo, should not allow anyone else to send his wife home.
Rosé simply walked over, opened the car door, and got in.
She put the bag aside, looked at the time, and immediately said, "Take me back. Rain must be crying right now when she saw I'm still not home. The child is too young, I don't trust her to be by someone else's side all day."
Jisoo's right hand was on the steering wheel, while the other rested on the armrest. His fingers stopped drumming casually on the steering wheel when he heard Rosé. He turned his head and looked at her.
Rosé kept staring straight ahead, not looking at him.
"Why is Rain's physical fitness so poor since she one year old? I heard that you were breastfeeding her, so how could a child–"
"Drive the car. You never cared about these matters before, so stop asking; that does not concern you." Rosé finally turned around and looked at him flatly, "Besides, what my brother did was only from his point of view. He wanted me to be happy, that's why he did it. I want to clarify one thing, I did not instigate everything that happened today, nor was it planned by me. President Jisoo, don't misunderstand again."
Her very unnecessary explanation made Jisoo frown. He put a hand on his forehead and looked at her sideways as if he was trying to see through her expression and demeanor.
The car didn't start for a long time. Rosé sat in silence for a moment and then let out a faint sigh. She took the bag next to her and was about to open the car door.
Just as her hand was about to open the car door, the car's lock was suddenly locked. Her hand paused by the door and she turned around to see Jisoo's hand rise from the control panel. She looked up at his face and he started the engine, sending her home without saying a word.
Along the way, he didn't ask about the child's condition, nor did he say a word. Rosé held her breath as she sat in his car, occasionally looking ahead and occasionally out the window.
His car...
Despite these two years, she still heard about Jisoo. Almost every time he appeared in public, his partners were different. However, his car didn't have the slightest fragrance from a woman. On the other hand, it's so clean that it's hard to believe.
Rosé felt it was a bit strange, so she just pressed her face against the window and peeked at Jisoo through the rear-view mirror outside the window.
When he wasn't with his good brothers or anyone else, there was almost no smile on his face. The smile was always a layer of protection on his face, but under the mask, he always felt more subtle and distant.
Many years ago, when Rosé was sitting in his car, she would usually stick her face against the window, look through the window and the rear-view mirror, trying her best to stealthily observe how he was driving.
Upon realizing that she had actually gotten used to it after so many years, Rosé was stunned. Looking at his face and expression in the rear-view mirror, she pursed her lips and shifted her gaze away, staring at the moonlight outside the window.
As if he hadn't noticed her soft sigh, Jisoo continued to stare straight ahead, unperturbed. He seemed to be deep in thought. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.
