His sis-in-law

'Sigh. Look at this CEO. He tricked me, so I would appear at his company. On the record, it's the first time I came here.'

'Why didn't he use his tricky behavior to search for his wife and get the divorce he has been trying to get?'

Well, yes, that's him! Suddenly, he will call her out when he feels like doing an act in front of his friends, family, and now his employees. But Jungkook once said he hates chasing a woman. The reason he relies on his lawyers but still no progress.

Shaking her head, Lisa heaved another silent sigh and mumbled. 'Forgot his flash drive and left it at home? Why the heck didn't he bring his laptop where he saved his precious confidential data and his important presentation?'

'It seemed he wanted me to appear in the company to be seen by his employees, which I wasn't prepared for. At least I want to wear a short, sexy dress to have a grand entrance. I didn't wear any makeup either. I'm upset!' She pouted in secret.

Lisa keeps mumbling in silence. Heaving a sigh of disbelief, she gathered her thoughts in one place and focused on her act. She keeps her sweet smile plastered on her face upon meeting Jungkook in the middle of the lobby.

Today, his company has several guests waiting for their appointment time to see certain personnel for business-related visits.

And as of the moment, in front of them is the CEO, who barely gives them a chance to meet in person to talk about a business proposal or business consultation. But today, he came down and met a girl, whose assistant could do that.

Could it be this girl is the rumored mistress? What a lucky Monday for them to meet her today!

Meanwhile, ignoring the curious people lounging in his company lobby, Jungkook warmly meets Lisa in the middle.

"Hi! Thanks for bringing it over!" said Jungkook. His voice is loud enough to hear in the entire lobby.

What's more interesting in this scene, Jungkook shamelessly showed his affection to his mistress. He leans over to plant a kiss on her cheek. For the female employee who witnessed this, their heart sank, and fretted that someone already won over their dream man. They once attempt to seduce the CEO and try to catch his attention, but he doesn't care about women but work. But what is happening now? He doesn't mind having PDA!

Lisa didn't anticipate that this act would cause a heart attack threat. Suddenly, Jungkook kisses her on the cheek! That required 70 percent of her superpower not to slap him because her heart not only skipped one beat but countless beats!

Ugh. Why is he not sharing any of his plans? If she wasn't good at acting, her reaction would be awkward and poor.

Came back to her senses, Lisa stretched her hand and handed the flash drive to Jungkook. Now that she delivered her task, she wanted to leave the place sooner.

"Here's your flash drive."

Jungkook takes it. He thanked her one more time. "It's quite a relief. I'm sorry for troubling you like this when you have a class soon."

'I'm glad you know! Can't you find another perfect time for your drama CEO Jeon? Ugh.' Lisa mumbled in her head.

Gracefully shaking her head, she responded to Jungkook, "Don't sweat it. It's the least I could do. Anyway, I have one hour before my class starts. I can catch up as long as I won't get trapped in the traffic for an hour."

"Yeah, that was bad. The university is in the opposite direction from the penthouse toward my company."

"Yeah. So I better leave now," Lisa whispered.

Before Jungkook could say something, a woman's thundering voice echoed in the entire lobby.

"You!" The woman who just arrived couldn't believe what she is witnessing right now. After she looked at Lisa with sharp glares, she turned to Jungkook and accused him, "How dare you display your affair and it should be in your company?! You really can't wait for my sister to divorce you?"

Darkening his facial expression, Jungkook remains calm to respond to the woman. "And where is your sister? She was supposed to sign the divorce papers a year ago. At that time, I haven't met Lisa yet. So don't drag her into this, Rosé."

Pressing her lips from anger, Rosé throws another glare at Lisa, who didn't back down to wrestle her gaze at her. It was what Rosé hated about Jungkook's mistress. The woman is arrogant! Too proud because she had Jungkook's backing up, and he showered her with everything.

Breathing in, Rosé replied to Jungkook. "I'm trying to ask her friends if they know her whereabouts. But it doesn't mean she will divorce you! For what? So you can marry this woman? My sister will never allow you!" Rosé cast a stern look at Lisa, scanning her from the head down to her brown Vegan high heels shoe.

But of course, Lisa only contoured a smirk in the corner of her mouth that pissed Rosé.

In Lisa's head, she was clapping in amusement. 'Bravo. A round of applause, please!'

Here's Rosé Lan, Jungkook's sister-in-law. She is one of the first people who immediately discovered that Jungkook had a mistress. But the more she and Lisa cross paths, the more Lisa could see the jealousy in Rosé's eyes. She is a woman, so she knew.

'Like I didn't notice that you also like Jungkook, even though he is your sister's husband. Hah! Jennie won't divorce Jungkook? You just speak on your behalf!'

Lisa sheepishly smiles at Rosé while having this thought. She knows the woman gets annoyed at her because she is never afraid of her insults.

'You wish for your sister to divorce Jungkook, so then, you got your chance.' Lisa wishes to say this to Rosé. But not today. She won't embarrass Jungkook in front of his employees. It will be between women's wars without Jungkook's presence.

Looking at Jungkook's mistress, she is badly annoyed. She doesn't like the way Lisa stares at her mockingly. She is Jungkook's sister-in-law! But this mistress is something! In her mind, she was cursing Lisa for how thick her face was.

"Rosé, if you plan to create a scene here, you better go home. Don't wait I will drag you out."

Rosé came back to her senses once she heard Jungkook's icy voice. In a flash, her chest filled with rage. Why does she have to be the one for Jungkook to scold? They are family! How dare he embarrass her this way! He must have forgotten his wife is her sister!

She wants to raise her protest, but Jungkook shoots a warning glare at her face. Rosé swallowed the lump in her throat, and she swears. 'Just wait, bitch! I will show you your true color! People will know who you are! I'm sure you are a social climber! I will show to the world that you are a gold digger!'

Rosé couldn't accept that Jungkook is intimate with another woman. She couldn't accept that Jungkook gave importance to someone, not his wife. He has changed a lot lately. She knows because ever since they were teenagers, Jungkook already had her eyes. But her stupid family arranged for her sister to marry Jungkook instead of her! She is older than Jennie, but she is just the daughter of a mistress. Her position in the Lan family is always below Jennie, and she hated it! She wished for her sister to disappear forever and never showed up again!

While Rosé fell in thought, Jungkook escorted Lisa toward her car. Jealousy crept toward her heart, watching him so gently to the other woman.

When does Jungkook spare a glance at her without sternness or disdain? Why did the other woman so easily catch his attention? Does she also win Jungkook's heart?

She was so happy when her sister Jennie didn't care to live with Jungkook after their wedding. But her stupid sister stayed in the US and abandon her husband. All these years that Jungkook and Jennie are married, it was she who stayed by Jungkook's side. She did her best to please the Jeon family to cover up Jennie's stupidity. If not for Jeon's financial backup, Lan Enterprise should be bankrupt and now live in the street.

But Jungkook never sees her effort to get close to him. She clearly understood that she was only able to stand beside him because Jennie is married to him, and Sejin Jeon recognizes Jennie as her daughter-in-law. And as the sister, she received good treatment.
