Chapter 15
Can We Talk?

"Is this how you should be talking to us? Apologies right now!" The principal said, gritting his teeths in anger. Lisa scoffed, hugging her arms over her chest, she proudly looked at the two men sitting with her eyes lowered.

"Why should I? I didn't do anything wrong. I'm not going to apologise if I haven't done anything. Also, Mr. Jeon, let me tell you one thing. I surely have a poor background but my morals are far more richer than yours. So please, stop bothering me. I won't be leaving my job, to tutor your son just because I want a scholarship. And about tutoring Mingyu, I have decided that I will be doing it for free." Lisa sighed, looking straight in Principal's eyes, "You can consider it as a charity, since you really love to do so."

With that, she showed them her back and walked out of the cabin. The elder men were totally baffled and took several minutes before they regained their selves.

"Rusticate this girl right now!" Mr. Jeon yelled, gritting his teeths in anger as it was the first time he has been so much embarassed by a little girl.

The principal cleared his throat before awkwardly saying, "Sir, we can't do so..." "And why not?" Mr. Jeon yelled even more loudly.

"It's because, she's one of the most brilliant students in our University and if we rusticate her, then we'll have to give an appropriate reason to do so... And I don't think we have that right now." Mr. Jeon glared at nothing before barging out of the cabin like an angry bull.

Lisa dazedly walked around in the silent corridors of the college until she felt a hand grasping her shoulder from behind. A little startled, she turned around and sighed seeing Rosé.

Rosé immediately bowed her head in front of her and held Lisa's hands in hers. "Lisa-yah! I'm really sorry! Really really really sorry for last night. I left you there alone. It's completely my fault, please forgive me." Even though her face was lowered, Lisa could make out that she was probably crying.

Lisa reached out to gently rub her arm before broking into a small smile. "It's fine Ro! Don't apologise." Rosé raised her head and immediately engulfed her in a hug. "Do I even deserve your friendship?" Lisa let out an airy laugh after listening her dramatic line.

"Actually, last night I got a little drunk with Jimin oppa. And, after that, we both left to his house and-"

"What?" Lisa widened her eyes, looking at Rosé with a lot of questions in her eyes. To her response, Rosé smiled blushingly and nodded her head.

"Lisa, you're the first one I'm telling about this. So promise me, you will also tell me first whenever you do that thing with your man. Okay?" Lisa could only awkwardly smile at her response.

If she would tell Rosé that she has already done that thing for first and even second time, Rosé might take her to the rooftop of the college and push her down with a dangerous smile.

After that, the two chatted a little and later  Lisa went to the café for her work. "Good noon Mrs. Charles!" Lisa wished with a bright smile. "Mm." Mrs. Charles as usual, replied gloomily.

Later in the evening, when Lisa working in the kitchen area with Minnie, Mrs. Charles called her to take the orders.

Lisa's steps haulted when she noticed Jungkook and his gang, sitting their, laughing their hearts out for definitely no reason. She looked at Mrs. Charles who told her with her stern eyes to just take the orders.
