His Contractual Mistress || Liskook Adaptation

Chapter: 48

Anderson Villa

"Jimin, you are back. Have you had dinner yet?" Mrs Anderson asked her son with a cold tone in her voice.

Jimin cast a glance at his mother, seated on the long sofa in the living room. He knew very well that Tina Anderson was still angry at him after he cheated on Lisa. And what made it worst is when he reunited with his ex-girlfriend.

"I'm still full, mom. I had dinner on the plane." He lied. He just simply wanted to be alone right now.

Besides, he wanted to avoid his mother from inquiring him if he meets Jennie, the reason he flew to the US.

"Okay," Tina replied flatly. She didn't ask further but watched her son's back, climbing the stairs.

Until now, she could not forgive her son for breaking Lisa's heart.?Lisa is her dream daughter-in-law. It's not because of her family's wealth but because Lisa is a sweet child.

She witnesses her growing up, and so she is certain that Lisa would be a wonderful wife and a mother to her future grandchildren.

In her circle of friends, they have this small dispute about who will become Lisa's mother-in-law. She always competes with the Wilson family or the Grubbers or the Johansson family, and everyone in High Society. And she thought she won, at last.

However, her bastard son lost his mind! It still upset her. Moreover, Jimin got back with his ex. Now she could not keep in touch with Lisa. It has been almost a year since the last time she saw that poor girl.

And she prayed that Jimin woke up and woo Lisa back. But where is Lisa?

Jimin pushes his bedroom door and drops his body on the bed. He closed his eyes and massaged his forehead.

When they parted ways in the company, everyone went to dinner and had a little drink after Bambam's Welcome Home dinner.

And he understood if no one invited him. Of course, things had changed for a long time already. Everyone is avoiding him. They only talk to him if it is related to work. That is the only time that they approach him.

Like what Bambam lectured them. It is the least he could do to repent for what he did to Lisa, for breaking her heart.

"I thought you are different from other men!"

That was Lisa's words while her eyes welled up with tears. Her voice still echoed inside his head.

Jimin presses his eyelids, hard. He needs something to drink to fall asleep tonight. But it must be his jet lag that dozes him off.

He isn't sure how long he took a nap. He plans to review the reports regarding the accident when he wasn't around, but he falls asleep.

If it weren't for his phone ringing nonstop, he probably remains sleeping until morning.

Jimin sat up and reached for his phone. He was anxious to answer the call in the hope that it was Lisa. But he was disappointed to see the name of the person registered on his phone.

Lazily, he answered the call. "Hello? What do you want?"

The person on the other line frowned the moment she heard Jimin's indifferent tone.

"Huh." The woman on the other line scoffs. "Are you disappointed that it was me who is calling you in the middle of the night, Jimin?"

"Not. I'm tired. Of course, I was sleeping." He reasons out, but the woman only nagged at him.

"Yeah? But you are waiting for her call, is it?"

"Are you checking on me? For once, can you stop it, Jennie?"

"Why would I? Because it's true, right? Just one call away, you are like a slave running toward her!"

"You know what, Jennie? I have no time for this now. If you have nothing to do, but I have tons of..."

"Stop treating me coldly! I'm not someone stranger to you!" Jennie didn't wait for Jimin to finish his sentence.?Jimin is just making excuses for her.

On the other line, Jimin heaves a furious sigh. He could feel his head throbbing hearing Jennie's shrieking voice.

"Look, Jennie. I have important things to do. But since you only called me for a fight. I'll better hang up now."

"Don't dare to hang up on me, Jimin!" Jennie demanded.

Jimin massages the back of his head down to his neck to stay calm. Honestly, he is tired of this crap which has nowhere to go in the end after they talked.

"Speak. What do you want?"

Jennie frowned when Jimin talk to her like she was his employee. "Why can't you resign from your job and join me? I can introduce you to big companies in the US and let's live together! Why is it hard for you to leave Australia?"

"How many times should I explain it to you, Jennie? This is my life project! I would never abandon the team! We started this, and we will finish this!"

She wins Jimin back. However, Jimin never discusses settling down with her in Australia or anywhere! That is why she always finds a way for Jimin to give time to her.

Meanwhile, listening to Jennie's childish rants, Jimin was annoyed. Jennie will always include Lisa in their fights. It was the reason he could not tell Jennie that Lisa is his boss.

He is certain that once Jennie learns the truth. She would throw not only a tantrum, but she won't stop nagging him.

"Jennie, you already knew why I have to come back very soon. Several people almost died because I neglect my work! Do you understand what that means, Jennie? It will be my conscience!"

"But I am your girlfriend!"

Jimin cursed inwardly listening to Jennie's selfish behaviour. Before he replied, Jimin hurls a long breath and then releases them.?He uttered, "I think we better take it easy from here, Jennie."

"Are you breaking up with me, Jimin?"?Jennie clenches her fists and tightens her hold on her phone.

"You need to cool off, and I need a break, yes! I have a lot of things to fix out here, Jennie. If you could not understand my job. Then yes, maybe we should break up,"?said Jimin.

"Like I agree! Don't give me those crap reasons! Fix things? Like I didn't know that it includes her you wanted to fix things!"

Jimin knows one thing. He is already fed up with Jennie's jealousy. And he is getting tired of their fights.

"Why do you hate Lisa so much?" he asked Jennie.
