His Contractual Mistress || Liskook Adaptation

Chapter: 33

Jungkook held her hand; Lisa could not hide when her cheeks flushed pink. Sure it hurts her knuckles after she punched Howie's thick face, but to her surprise, Jungkook was very concerned about it.

Maybe, for Jungkook, the hands are one of the most precious parts of the body. Even before, she didn't see Jungkook punch a man yet.

"What I told you before? Just tell me if someone bothered you, and I will deal with them myself," said Jungkook with a soft tone in his voice.

Lisa stared at him with marvel. She often heard Jungkook saying this. Now she understood what he meant.

Honestly, she is already used to this pampering from the boys. They are like wolves who will hunt those who do wrong to her.

But surprisingly, it has a different effect on her when Jungkook phrases that and does the beating on her behalf.

She always reminds herself that what Jungkook is showing to her is the same treatment as her friends. But as days passed, it troubled her heart because she never went through this before, nor did any of her friends make her feel this way.

Is this love?

Meanwhile, as they were lost in their world, someone speaks.

"Ahem. President Jeon..."

Lisa and Jungkook didn't realize that they were staring into each other's eyes. On Jungkook's part, he was waiting for Lisa's reply. But she is only staring at him.

So then, he stared back until he didn't notice they stayed frozen on the sofa, holding hands and eyes locked at each other.

If it weren't for the server, who approach them? Who knows what will happen next?

Jungkook, who came to his senses, slowly let Lisa's hand go and face the waiter.

He clears his throat, then asked the server coldly. "What is it?"

Bowing his head, the waiter replied with a flush cheek. He was hesitant to approach the boss when he was in a sweet moment with his rumored mistress. But already finished their job and were now ready to leave if the boss has no more orders.

"We've finished setting up the table, President Jeon. You can dine now."

"Okay. You all can leave. Thank you," he ordered.

Lisa's face was blushing upon thinking that she was gazing at Jungkook dreamily. It wasn't like her at all. Lately, she'd noticed that she started acting like a teenager having a crush on someone.

And it was so hard to hide her feelings when her heart was only betraying her as it flutters and beats crazily every time she sees Jungkook, or even she'll just think of him.

Fell on her thoughts, and Lisa returned to reality when she heard Jungkook inviting her to the dining table.

To her carelessness and startling heart, she stood on her feet with hasty but misstep on the carpeted deck, causing her to stumble and almost fell.

Thankfully for Jungkook's good reflexes, he catches her, his arm gripping her waist tight. He commented, "I guess you don't need to kill your feet with those."

Lisa understood what Jungkook meant. He was talking about her shoes.

"I will just take them off," she said while reaching for the stiletto.

"Wait... stay right there."

It confused her what Jungkook meant by that. When he came back, a pair of slippers were in his hands.

"Better wear this..." he told Lisa.

Jungkook's gestures made her speechless. He bent and placed the slippers in front of her. He then kneels on one foot and is about to reach for her ankle.

"It's okay! Let me change my shoes." She promptly refused, but then disappointment was written on Jungkook's face. It made her taken aback to do anything after seeing his sullen look.

Without second thoughts, Lisa placed her hand on Jungkook's shoulder. She reached for her left foot and the right one to take off her shoes, then dropped them on the carpet.

Now that her feet were free from the high heels, she slid her foot into the slippers.

"Thanks! Now I feel relaxed!" she told Jungkook gleefully, a sweet smile tearing her lips. "So, let's eat?"

"Yes. Come on."

Nodding, Jungkook pulls a dining chair and offers it to her.

Lisa felt relieved seeing Jungkook's face now brighten. Honestly, she refused him because she was shy, and her heart is acting crazily. But once displeasure exhibits on his face, she gets worried that he will misunderstand why she rejected his gesture halfway.

Besides, Jungkook didn't need to do this when they are alone now. He can stop acting sweet to her.

Hence, on these passing days, Jungkook has been extra sweet to her even when they were alone, which seems everything becomes a casual interaction between them.

However, every time she remembers that one day everything will come to an end, it made her sad.

So then, from time to time, she reminds herself why she signed the agreement.

Sighing inwardly, Lisa watches Jungkook spoon a soup. When the soup bowl was full, he placed it on her plate.

"Which one do you want to eat first?"

Lisa hears Jungkook's query. She snaps at herself and stops musing. Her eyes swept the table, and she saw a mouthwatering crab.

"The crab looks tasty," she told Jungkook, who immediately picked up a smaller plate and placed two crabs on it, then put it down to the left side, near her plate.

She let him place food in front of her. She was grateful that he was in a good mood now.

What happened earlier at the resort and her refusal with the slipper thing, she got to know more about Jungkook. And in those situations, she should add that to the List of What Triggers his Mood.

Then, once his future wife is keen to consider these things, there will be no misunderstanding between them. Lisa mused.

She watches Jungkook continue fixing food on the plate.

'It's no doubt. His future wife would be so lucky,' she thought inwardly, drawing the soup spoon on her lips and leisurely sipping the wonderful beef soup.
