The Traps of the Black Swan

At M Industries

Lisa was in a meeting when he got a message from Jisoo asking if he was going to Mino's place as Jisoo has to arrange for their stay accordingly. He responded to Jisoo as [Yes.] and guessed Ruby Jane was done with her plan against the Hays family.

It is just a matter of time before the internet explodes about the five officer's information. Her last mission for the day. The uproar in the public and media is just around the corner.

He didn't ask Jisoo about Ruby Jane and deliberated for some time about texting her. After a few movements, he didn't like himself thinking so much to drop a message, when did he start bothering about the judgment of his Cupcake? Why is he even thinking of it when his Cupcake could speak to him openly?

He turned to the secretary who joined them a few minutes back, "Ruby Jane?" He bluntly asked to know if he saw her in the office.

The executive director who was briefing on an issue paused and glanced at Milo who raised his hand to stop him. The secretary responded promptly without being surprised by the question, "President, Ms. Evans came fifteen minutes earlier and she is in your office."

Lisa stood up the very next second and everyone followed the suit, he turned his gaze on Milo and instructed, "Handle the meeting."

Milo responded respectfully without revealing any of his expressions and watched him walking out. Since Lisa was distracted from the morning, Milo thought it's better he should talk and clear things out with Ruby Jane. He cued everyone to sit back and continue the meeting.

Lisa reached his office room and saw her solemnly working on her iPad. Looking at her pleased smile despite seeing his indifference, he didn't think too much and went towards her.

He heard her teasingly trying to greet him when he covered the distance between them, his slender fingers tangled with her hair locks pushing them away from her dainty face as he slightly lifted her face.

Unaware, his gaze first went to her forehead where he always planted a soft kiss whenever they used to be together. But today, he wanted to tell her that he is no different from her, he was thinking of her, their kiss, and how he craved to claim her lips in the kiss.

He hadn't just said the words, he wanted to prove he meant it and went for her softly moving nude pink lips that had curved expecting a forehead kiss, "Hello, President Ma..." The rest of the words faded against his lips.

Ruby Jane's eyes widened as soon as he dipped his head and captured her lips. His movements were swift and very gentle on her. Instead of thinking why Lisa didn't look around and kissed her straight without a word, 'Why did I video call Mino?' She blamed herself.

Mino on her laptop screen: "..."

Mino was actually looking at a file that was in his hand. He looked up at the screen when he heard her teasing tone without knowing if she was saying something to him or Lisa entered the office.

He was definitely surprised hearing no words from Lisa but straight kissed his clueless Dum Dum. He certainly didn't look away from the screen, instead, he placed his elbow on the desk and leaned his head on knuckles, completely ready to enjoy watching them while his right-hand fingers played with the pen.

Nevertheless, he was disappointed when Lisa broke their kiss and looked at her wide eyes, blushing petite face. Mino knew she wasn't blushing in bashfulness but embarrassment due to him watching their kiss. He silently chuckled thinking she needs a long way to get used to kissing her boyfriend in front of others.

He mentally appreciated Lisa by understanding it was just a small kiss asking for her consent. Lisa was about to discern her expression and Ruby Jane wanted to whisper as 'Mino' but the latter spoke, "I won't make a noise, I promise. Please continue..."
