Hearing Ruby Jane's schedule was full, Lisa sighed and complained, "Not fair." They have to go to the Manoban mansion for a family dinner. So he was practically getting no time with his wife on Sunday. She is busy now and after a month, he will get no time with her. He had thought after resigning, he could get a lot of time with her but she was busier than expected.
Ruby Jane knew what was actually bugging him. Three long years. "Do you trust me?"
Instead of responding to her question, he flicked on her forehead.
"Ouch," Ruby Jane continued rubbing her head, "I will make sure, we see each other every day how busy you might be. Even if it is for a minute or just a glimpse of each other." She was also working on their life of three years in the country S, trying her best to make it smooth for them.
Lisa looked at her doubtfully, "Don't tell me you are planning to fall ill?"
Ruby Jane burst into laughter hearing him. She never thought of that plan, "Dumb man, I would never make you worry." He will be stressed with his research, how could she do something that will make him lose sleep.
"Oh..." He tried to guess what could make them keep closer in the three years. Buying the university is difficult, she wasn't a doctor or any related student. She couldn't get a job there either. He didn't know so he asked, "How?"
"It's a surprise." She excitedly announced and paused. Her smile vanished and nervously looked at him. Lisa chuckled, recalling how the surprise became a horror.
"I won't get angry. I promise." He will speak with her first, whatsoever.
She tugged him out, mumbling uneasily, "Damn, I am scared of giving surprises now."
His throaty chuckle sounded when they stepped out of the room. The two men looked at them for a second in bewilderment that the couple was pretty quick. They quickly brushed off their thoughts, discerning the couple probably did nothing. They silently left the corridor when Ruby Jane took Lisa to the other private room.
The employees stood up in hurry at the sight of their President's husband, "President Manoban." They greeted in awe, looking at the aloof handsome man
Palmer ignored Lisa and the latter did the same, his assistant wished Lisa. Mino nodded at Lisa and flashed a teasing smile at Ruby Jane. He couldn't believe Lisa surprisingly reached her for a kiss. He suddenly felt like he and Tia were too basic. Basic is boring.
'When did I become a boring man?' Mino found a serious topic to mull over.
Ruby Jane ignored everyone and made sure her husband had good food. Then Lisa stayed with her till she signed the final deal papers.
Palmer didn't fancy handling press conferences so, excluding legal procedure, everything was completed quickly. He left the choice to Ruby Jane if she wanted to announce the acquisition or not. Palmer left as soon as he had a party to attend in a different country.
Jisoo went to find his girlfriend, Lisa dropped Ruby Jane at the Dawson mansion and he went to meet a person who was a classmate of Jennie.
Lisa sipped his coffee and glanced at the lady in front of him. He didn't know why Ruby Jane never identified the lady or if the lady's appearance had differed, she was a secretary of the President of M Industries. Milo Wen had caught her once speaking about Ruby Jane looks like Jennie but how could Jennie be alive.
Roach stayed closer to Lisa in case the lady tried to be over-smart and try to take advantage of the situation.
"P-President-" She recalled that Jisoo was the new president, "Doctor Manoban, I swear, I never spoke about President Evans again."
