His Contractual Mistress || Liskook Adaptation

Chapter: 47

"James White!"

"Huh? What is it?"

"Are you not listening? Or just pretending to have heard nothing?" Josh Lynch chimed in. He is the Chief of the Marketing Department.

"If you act like that? You know something." Alfie Rinaldi seconded; the Chief Officer of the Human Resources Department.

James denied. He uttered, "What would I know? I'm just the IT guy here!"

"The more suspicious you are."

"I told you. I don't know anything." James stands on his lie.

"James!" Bambam's voice echoed in the room.

James, on the other hand, shuddered to hear his commanding tone. 'Too bad it happens when Bambam is here!'

"Tell us what you know." Bambam did not stop pursuing him. The more he avoids meeting his eyes, the more it proves he knew something.

James was now cornered. He could not remain to lie when the boys were throwing suspicious looks at him. Ah! He has no choice anymore!

'Bambam's face is scary despite how handsome he is.' James mumbled to himself. Bambam is what he feared most. However...

"My loyalty is for Lisa! You can't force me!"

"Even if we cut your fingers?" Threatened by Chester Liang, who began striding toward him. He is the Chief Officer of the Innovative Department.

James swallowed the big lump in his throat. When it comes to Lisa, these men would not care to threaten their very own buddy!

"Wait a minute! Can I make a request?" James began bathing cold and sweet. He knew better these men would not joke around but did all means to make him speak.

"Good luck!" Jimin whispered to him, playing a smirk on the corner of his mouth.

It pissed James how Jimin only taunted him now after he showed a little care for their friendship. But he could not take it wrong. Jimin also wanted any information to reach out to Lisa. And so he would support everyone's threats!

"Say it now!" Waiting, Leo demanded, which made James twitch his mouth.

"If you guys are going to cut my fingers, can you cut my feet instead? I need my fingers to continue working with Lisa!"

"That's the point. Your fingers are the most precious part of your body. So then, it is the part we will use to torture you."

James started to pale. He cried, "Can you do this to your friend?"

"We are talking about Lisa here," Leo pointed out.

"But I promise to say nothing!" Oopsie...

"So you do know about the matter between LN Group?" Bambam queried who is now standing in front of James.

"I... guys! I can't betray Lisa!"

"We know. But how if the matter was serious, James? How can we assure Lisa is alright?" said Josh.

"James!" Yelled Yoongi. He received an order from Lisa, but she didn't provide any reason why her mind changed. He was also worried that something happened to her.

"Okay! I'll talk!"

Finally, James surrendered. It is also his conscience if anything happens to Lisa.

"Hurry up!"

"Fine! You guys are making me peed on my pants." He frowned.

"Then start talking now!"
