His Contractual Mistress || Liskook Adaptation

Chapter: 12

He Really Made Me Work Like This

'He is that mad at me?' Lisa thought. 'What should I do now? How could I earn Jungkook's forgiveness? It seems like my cooking style won't work this time.'

Heaving a helpless sigh, Lisa strides toward the kitchen, gets an apron, and starts thinking about what dinner she could make for Jungkook.

Later, Lisa recalled she bought Salmon yesterday. She decided... she'll bake a Salmon for Jungkook's dinner!

With excitement creeping toward her chest, she prepared all the ingredients she needed. After she mixed them into a bowl and spread them all over on top of the Salmon. She also added other vegetables to the rectangular glass container before she placed them in the oven.

Next, she made crab and corn soup. It will be cold later, but if he doesn't like to have dinner together... 'Then let him preheat it for himself.' Lisa mumbled to her head with a pout.

'What dessert should I prepare for him? Is he even fond of sweets?' Lisa mused. Jungkook ate the carrot cake and banana muffins she made last time. 'Maybe a cookie? With lots of chocolate chips! That would be best with brewed coffee!'

Preparing the cookie ingredients, Lisa continues pondering what she could do for Jungkook to forgive her.

Not her dad, though. She will hug him and put on some sweet words; her dad would forget her mistakes. But Jungkook is only a stranger to her. It will take a while before she could soften his rough treatment toward her.

'Ah, whatever.' She'll work well in the next few days and behave. Maybe Jungkook will forget what she did.

When she was done, Lisa placed all the food on the table. She ate quietly alone. After that, she wrapped the dishes with transparent cellophane.

She didn't eat any salmon, but instead, she made herself some lasagna. She left the salmon untouched. And yes! It was her way of peace offering to him.

As the night got older, Lisa was pacing back and forth inside her bedroom. She couldn't hear any movement yet. So Lisa assumed Jungkook hasn't come out from the Study to have dinner. She looked at her phone, and it was past ten o'clock.

'He's skipping dinner again? Or he's really that mad to starve himself because he doesn't want to see me?'

'Wait... and why would I think of these matters? are we even a real couple? Why do I worry too much? Ah, whatever! If he wanted to starve himself, then fine!'

Sulking, Lisa climbed onto her bed and tucked it inside her quilt. She taped on her phone to play her playlists to doze off. The digital clock awakened her the following day.

Lisa rushed to the bathroom and washed. She made a quick movement around her bedroom and her knee kicked the stool in front of her dresser.

'Shot! Ouch...' Dang, she never gets up this early every single day. She never took a shower for less than thirty minutes, either every day!

She's not complaining, though. She's only upset that he is ignoring her this long after she apologized.

Lisa came out of her bedroom, exactly as Jungkook went out of his room. Suddenly, an awkward silence past her thoughts, and she forgot to utter a greeting. Jungkook turned his back on her without saying a word either, Lisa stammered. "I will make a quick breakfast."

"I will have one in the office."

'Seriously? And whose employees are going to his company at this hour? Even his assistants and secretaries are still enjoying the warmth of their beds!' Lisa mused. 'Is he going to avoid me? I don't mind, and he has the right to ignore me. But he should not miss his meals and starve himself!' Lisa pouted. She couldn't make another remark when Jungkook went straight to the door and left just like that.

'Who's going to serve him breakfast? Is he planning to stop by a restaurant? Then what's the difference if he'll let me make him a quick breakfast? He's only wasting money!'

'Ah! Why am I stressing myself? He's old enough, duh!'

But on second thoughts, it gives her a brilliant realization. When she returns to Australia, she must look into her employees' attendance and add rewards to those who come early and give awards to those diligent workers. She must take note of that!

Well, since Jungkook left and her class is in the afternoon. She'll go back to sleep.

Lisa dropped her body back to the bed and rolled around. After two minutes, she sat up and rushed to the kitchen.

'Ahh! I should not just sit around!'

After three hours, she is ready! Lisa trotted her Ferrari, squeezing the traffic while tapping her palms on the steering wheels, and singing while driving.

'Dang! What insane traffic! How do people survive not being late every day?' She couldn't help but complain because she missed driving a two hours distance, which she would go down in just less than 40 minutes.

Now she's seated in front of the steering wheel for half an hour. And the distance from Jungkook's office and the penthouse, she could drive it for at least twelve minutes with the speed of Aparte.

Lisa glanced at the bag in the passenger seat. She breathes in and releases it. 'This man... He makes me work like this!'

But things must be under control. So, she has to endure it until then. Lisa mused. Finally, the traffic is moving, and Lisa had a smooth drive on the next avenues. Before coming into the office, she already texted Tim that she has something to give to Jungkook.
