His Contractual Mistress || Liskook Adaptation

Chapter: 44

Months ago...

Lisa hugged herself when the night breeze kisses her skin. She is only wearing a halter dress, and she didn't bring a coat.

She was at M Resort as one of her classmates celebrated her nineteenth birthday today, and they got a VIP room just for themselves to have fun all night.

But Lisa only drank a little since she volunteered to drive her friends home. So here she is, hiding from them. Otherwise, everyone would force her to drink.

At the moment, she was at the back exit door, sitting on the staircase while watching the night skyline.

She misses home: her dad and everyone. She also misses their time on her yacht and watching the night sky like this.

But so many things change after Jimin proposes to her, and then without a second thought, she accepts it, but Jimin reunited with his girlfriend he met in New York when he took his second course years ago.

Even though she didn't love Jimin like how a woman should love her future husband, she already set her mind to spend her life with him.

She loves him, but it's not the love he needs. It's not enough for him, and she understood that. So now, she wanted to move on and forget everything that had happened.

But every time she would tell herself this, she chickens out. She could still not bring herself to go back to Australia.

Now then, she's stuck in this city, and she feels bored already. Each day only becomes lonelier for Lisa.

She enjoyed the times she was hanging out with her new friends. But she could not avoid feeling lonely every time she is alone.

Lisa was in deep thought when her ears caught a faint voice, and it was coming closer in her direction.

Later, the voice is getting louder, and she could sense the fury in it. Besides, she recognized this voice.

"What do you mean, she already moved out? I paid you to take care of everything! Then you have to look for her!"

Lisa doesn't want to eavesdrop, but she got intrigued. 'He didn't know where his wife was? What kind of husband is he? Why didn't he know the whereabouts of his wife? Don't tell me he does not know either she is cheating on him?'

"Find her, and if needed, force her to sign the divorce paper!"

The following statement makes Lisa freeze. 'He's divorcing Jennie? Did he find out already that she cheated on him?'

Lisa glanced over her shoulder when the glass exit door opened.

The man, none other than Jungkook Jeon, halted when he realized that there is another person outside.

Lisa pushes a thin, friendly smile before she withdraws her gaze.

'Oh, my God! I will pretend that I hear nothing.' Lisa is biting her lower lip, pretending that she browsed her phone, waiting for Jungkook Jeon to retreat and go back inside.

However, it startled her when he spoke behind her, and he was this close already!

"Would you mind if I sat here?" Jungkook gestured to the space next to her.

Lisa carefully gathered her thoughts in one place, so as not to look flustered in front of Jungkook.

She looked up and nodded at him. "Sure! Of course! I don't own these stairs."

She said jokingly, which she knew how lame it was. Gladly, Jungkook laughs at her poor humour.

Somehow, it settles her heartbeats. Unexpectedly seeing him made her chest flutter wildly.
