The Traps of the Black Swan (Book 2)

204

At Morris hotel,

Jisoo spoke to Nikun over a call before turning to Chaeyoung who was speaking to the hotel Manager, asking to send somebody to get the car from Highland club.

"Brother Nick and his parents are already on their way to my home, I mean Manoban mansion." Jisoo paused looking at her hurriedly and finally remembering that she should check her mobile.

She saw numerous missed calls from Nikun and her aunt. Then she opened Nikun's message.

[Couldn't you listen to me even once?]

[I have covered as you were asleep due to jet lag. Call me after seeing my message.]

Chaeyoung breathed a long sigh of relief, happy that Nikun managed her disappearance from his parents who would have informed her parents.

She faced Jisoo and bid him but her phone rang displaying, 'Brother Nick'

After a minute, Chaeyoung sulked in the elevator with Jisoo behind her. Nikun had scolded her and asked her to get ready soon, Jisoo would be picking her up to the Manoban mansion.

'Why couldn't I stay away from this man?' She cried internally.

While Jisoo waited in the living room of the suite, Chaeyoung was quick to get ready in a simple, navy blue colored, vintage styled, spaghetti straps, floral short dress. She looked pretty and sophisticated in it.

Both routed towards the Manoban mansion in absolute silence.

At Manoban mansion,

Lisa and Ruby Jane had taken Connor's car and reached soon. Ruby Jane didn't know the Morris family was going to be there for lunch.

The trio entered the mansion and Ruby Jane greeted Megan and Karsen before looking at Jordan who was purposefully avoiding to see her.

The rest of the family members knew Jordan had already accepted Ruby Jane and found it hard to word it. They cued her to greet him.

"Elder Manoban." She greeted politely with a small bow of her head.

Jordan glanced at her before his eyes laid on Lisa and Karsen who were busy discussing the previous day's banquet and auction.

It wasn't surprising to see major news outlets focused on the banquet instead of Seungri. Karsen had thought Seungri must have handled it.

Anyway, Lisa pointed to Ruby Jane explaining, Ruby Jane only wanted Seungri's news to go viral over the internet where Seungri couldn't control.

Karsen asked in a dilemma but maintaining a very low voice, "Is Ruby Jane working at Skylar? I saw Skylar's logo on her laptop screen once and she is Twyla. Why do I feel like she is the owner of Skylar?"

Lisa just smiled and Karsen was astonished beyond words.

Jordan squinted his eyes at the two men thinking what did they talk that brought a smile on Lisa's face and Karsen was proud and amused.

Anyway, he grunted, "Is this what you taught her? She is going to cut my nose in front of guests."

Ruby Jane: "..."

'What did I do? Did I offend him just by greeting? Why is it so hard to understand him?' She thought.

She turned around and saw Karsen and Lisa were wordless at Jordan's tantrums. Connor was pursing his lips and Megan was controlling her laughter.

Lisa stepped front to help his Cupcake. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and slyly smiled at Jordan, "My grandfather is a little shy to ask you to address him as a grandfather."
