The Traps of the Black Swan (Book 2)

336

Thursday, a day before Seungri's way to hell.

Ruby Jane went to work, so did Lisa. Both had too much to handle at their company. They had to bring the company's working pattern back on track so neither of them had time to eat. Well, they did arrange food for each other so they had to eat.

One was super anxious. Milo Wen!!

He couldn't sit, he couldn't work. He couldn't focus on anything. He had lost appetite since morning and his stomach was also empty as a pearl stolen shell.

He took his mobile numerous times to dial Ruby Jane but Lisa would kick him out of the window from the 36th floor. If he doesn't make the call, Ruby Jane would never trust him with work.. Or she might just complain to Esme who will eventually punish him for ignoring 'her little sister from another mother.'

The reason?

Lisa was meeting Seungri at the gym. Being a smart secretary, he knew what was waiting at 3 PM.

'Knock, knock...'

He jumped from his seat when he heard knocks on his desk. He didn't even know when Lisa entered his office.

Lisa placed the files on the table and looked at the cold sweat rolling on the forehead of Milo Wen. He had called Milo Wen twice and knocked on the glass door and then went to the desk. Who was the President here?

Milo Wen quickly greeted as his eyes went on the digital clock on the table, "President Manoban, sorry I was distracted. I will lead the way." It was half-past 2.

He grabbed his mobile, shut his laptop, and placed the Ipad on it. He grabbed them in one hand and with another, he took a laptop bag. He was running when Lisa asked suspiciously, "Did you call my wife?" He couldn't come up with any reason for his uneasiness.

Milo Wen glanced at the window he had closed tightly. Turning around, "N-not yet." He whispered more to himself. He knew he would call Ruby Jane if Lisa goes all out and hurts himself. He thought to dial Jisoo, that man was even crazier and he would encourage Lisa so Jisoo was out of the list. None could stop Lisa but Ruby Jane.

Lifting his head, he played dumb, "I didn't make any call to Young Madam, President Manoban."

Lisa nodded as though he wasn't suspicious. He went towards Milo Wen who was flinching as Lisa neared. Lisa confiscated Milo's mobile that was on top of the Ipad and walked out without a word.

Milo: "..."

His plan to call or message Ruby Jane was ruined by Lisa, "I'm sorry Young Madam, I can't help this time." He mumbled, following Lisa.

-----

At ten minutes to three,

Milo Wen voluntarily wanted to jump out of the second floor. They were in the boxing studio of the gym. Lisa had gone to change while he paced like a headless chicken. He didn't have a mobile, Lisa hadn't let him use the laptop in the car, and now the laptop and Ipad were in the car.

He looked at Roach. This man was even more stubborn. "Captain Roach, I will just make a quick call." He tried to act innocent and put up a simple request.

"No." Roach's ruthlessly rejected. Lisa had instructed him that he shouldn't give the mobile to Milo Wen.

Milo Wen tried to keep himself cool. He knows Lisa was strong but Seungri was also strong. Lisa might play by the game but Seungri never followed the rules, much less a game. If anybody records everything, then he will lose a few nights' sleep and sit with PR.

There was none to listen to the silent cries of a secretary.

Five minutes to three,

Wearing his suit, Seungri entered the studio, alone. There was amusement on his face due to the meeting location. He looked at Lisa in boxing clothes practicing fluently. He assumed they have to speak when he works out.
