The Traps of the Black Swan

36

Lisa read the message [Mike Wooten is dead.]

In a few seconds, another message popped up in Ruby Jane's mobile, [Your guess is on point.]

Lisa didn't know what is the meaning of the second message. He turned to Ruby Jane who was sitting expressionlessly. A few seconds back, he loved the vibe between them and now everything changed.

Initially, he didn't know Seungri's illegal trades, he got to know after the investigation but he wasn't sure how Ruby Jane got to know that. Cupping her face, gently caressing her cheek with his thumb, he lifted her face to see him, "What is meant by 'Your guess is on point'?"

Ruby Jane relaxed looking at him worried as she responded calmly, "Sean Harmon accepted and joined Seungri. Mike Wooten is Sean Harmon's friend who was in contact with Seungri. That fool must have followed Sean Harmon or did something stupid." Both had heard Sean's plan to catch his brother red handed so it wasn't hard for her to guesstimate.

Ruby Jane distracted him seeing him thinking deep into it, "Why are you dressed so early in the morning? Are we going out so soon?"

Lisa thought she wouldn't have a mood to go out but she was anticipating to hear 'yes' from him keeping the Harmon topic aside. "Get ready and come downstairs. We will have breakfast and leave."

Ruby Jane hummed with a nod, she was going towards the ensuite but paused and turned around as she walked backside, "Don't think about Harmons. Focus on the date."

She closed the door after seeing him nod then Lisa remembered Sean knew about Ruby Jane and Seungri could track her with Sean's help. "Ruby Jane..." She had gone inside so he made her bed before going to the kitchen.

Ruby Jane didn't randomly choose a dress but she had very few options. She didn't know where he was taking her, so just wearing a pretty dress wouldn't be suitable. She didn't want to wear boring pants and top on their first date.

She had two choices; skort, and romper, she chose a simple and classy romper having a layer of the skirt on top layer giving off a little dress look. Blowing drying her chocolate brown hair to delicate curves, she wore a pair of diamond studs. Wearing light rose pink lipstick and matched with trendy black heels, she ditched her handbag.

Lisa had prepared everything and saw her entering the dining hall. She wasn't trying to ace her looks instead she chose a comfortable dress with quarter sleeves so it naturally made him delighted.

Similarly, Lisa wasn't in a business suit, instead of a full sleeve grey pullover, white cargos, brown loafer and his jacket was lying on the chair. He was mod and chic marveling his look.

They weren't trying to impress each other, they were just them.

Both had breakfast and Lisa noticed her mobile wasn't with her. He reminded her thinking she might have forgotten, "Where is your mobile?... Aunty-" He wanted to tell Melia to send a maid to bring it.

Ruby Jane lazily cut in, "I am not bringing it with me."

Lisa was surprised to hear that. He was sure she did that to leave other things behind and enjoy their date. It really warmed his heart knowing she was giving importance to him ignoring her failed plan.

"What if there is an emergency at your company?" He never would ask her to ignore her responsibilities.

"Mino will call you. He knows we are going on a date." Ruby Jane ate her pancake thinking about Mino's reaction. He was really happy and warned her to give Lisa a good time other than the company and her game.

Mino isn't supporting Lisa, he is glad and wished Ruby Jane to have someone by her side so that she shouldn't think about disappearing from everyone's life. Jisoo pledged he wouldn't disturb the couple and had a cocktail party with his father and elder uncle celebrating Lisa's first step of success.
