His Contractual Mistress || Liskook Adaptation

Chapter: 55

After waiting several minutes, their food finally arrived. Upon having the sight of the food, Mina and Minnie forget how annoyed they are at the third table that pesters them since in the parking lot.

The girls continue chattering over the food, Lisa casually typing on her phone while stuffing her mouth. Yoongi is inquiring about the project she would like to assign to the JEON GROUP.

However, she could not make a phone call to discuss it at the moment. She replied to Yoongi that they would talk about it later in the evening over FaceTime.

And she was about to put away her phone when it rang and Jungkook's name flashed on the screen.

"Oh. The boss is missing you!" Mina teases Lisa after she peeks on her phone and sees the name flash on the screen.

"Go on! We will pretend to hear nothing." Minnie echoed, followed by her giggles.

Lisa opens her mouth in awe. Shifting her gaze from the three girls who are puttering silly smiles at her, she asks with confusion. "What? And why is that?"

"It means sweet talk!" Shuhua chimed in, who were also thrilled to witness her love life.

Lisa rendered speechlessly. It amazed her how these teenagers knew more stuff than her!

"Hello?" She finally swipes the green button and answers the call. Rapidly, her heart flutters upon hearing Jungkook's soothing voice.

"Hi! Have you had lunch already?" Jungkook queried while he glances at the time on his wristwatch. It says almost one in the afternoon.

Using her sweetest voice, Lisa replied to Jungkook, "Yes! We're in the middle of having lunch."

"That's great! But I was calling up at the wrong time." Said Jungkook apologetically, which made Lisa pursue a sweet smile. She doesn't mind if Jungkook calls her any time of the day.

Meanwhile, listening to her, Lisa glared at the three girls who are looking at her dreamily. She giggled and shook her head. And what she did, didn't escape from Jungkook's hearings. He thinks it was cute, and he could picture Lisa's blushing and that facial expression she was often showing to him every time she sounded like this.

While Lisa is talking with Jungkook, Mina muttered to her. "You should tell the boss that someone stole your slot in the parking lot."

"What was that?" asked Jungkook. Mina was blabbing about something, and he didn't like it. "What happens?"

"It's not that biggie." Lisa would like to withhold it. But it's too late for her to deny when Manager Denise escorted three bulk men from Metro City Garden Security and a man that Lisa recognized as the General Manager of this mall. The group is walking toward the middle of the restaurant.

Everyone is looking in their direction, curious why the mall security is visiting the restaurant at this busy hour.

"Good noon, sir. My name is Ricky Lim, General Manager of this mall. I have a question. Are you the owner of the black Lamborghini park in Level 3 Slot number S01?"

"It was mine. What's the matter?" The guy is arrogantly answering Ricky Lim.

General Manager is dumbfounded, being replied rudely when he is inquiring politely. Ricky pursed his mouth to control his annoyance. He notified, "Please, remove your car. Or a tow will drag it out."

"Are you threatening me now?" The guy shifted his gaze between Ricky and the three mall securities. It did not show he is afraid of them, but he sneered at them instead. "Do you have to bring three security guards to scare me? What kind of treatment is this?"

"Please, sir. All I wanted to happen is for you to move your car and park in another slot. That spot is reserved for the JEON GROUP and Jeon family."

"Really? And why is that?" The guy questioned Ricky, but it was his company that answered his query.

"They are the ones who build this mall, Mig."

However, the guy only raises a brow and laughs. "So what? My family is also an investor in this Mall. Why don't we have our parking slot? Why did the firm, which is only a builder, reserve a slot for them?"

It pissed Ricky to listen to this guy but had to keep control of his tolerance. "Sir, the Jeon Group runs monthly inspections of the entire mall to ensure the safety of the establishment and hotel. Besides, the Jeon had frequent business with us as they are one of the major investors of this mall."

Ricky said it bluntly, enough to shut the guy's mouth. His girlfriend, who is just an aspiring new actress, feels the coercion thrown at their table by other guests. She could hear the words from the surrounding table, and it was not good news.

"That was embarrassing! Who has the guts to compete against the JEON?" Commented by someone from the other table.

"And it happens if someone's presence!" Chimed in another woman from the table next to them.

"Right! President Jungkook Jeon's girlfriend is here!" And they glanced at Lisa's table, admiring her pretty face and the dress she is wearing. They are always jealous of how she always looks elegant and gorgeous.

In the meantime, the guy and the starlet began realizing that they were in a hot pot. Also, now that it mentioned Jungkook's girlfriend. Ricky takes the opportunity to continue his statement.

"Ahem. And your next offence, sir. President Jeon notified us that his girlfriend and her friends would come to the mall to shop. He informed us to let them park in the reserved park belonging to Jeon company. And the commotion you created in the parking lot is not tolerable behaviour. Now please leave the mall. We are banning you and your company from coming back."

"What? I have nothing to do with this! I accompany him for lunch! Likewise, I have a car show on Sunday! You can't ban me! I already signed a contract!" The starlet model named Divine stressed out after Ricky dropped the bomb. Her popularity has just begun, and she can't afford to have a scandal like this. Banning her means she is now blacklisted in Metro City Garden to do any project such as International Fashion Show or any events that need her talents. "Mig, this is your fault!"

"Shut up! Who's the one nagging me to dine in here? This is your fault!"

Everyone was dumbfounded watching the couple who are now quarrelling. Ricky grew irritated listening to them. He gestures his hand at the three securities and gives orders. "Escort them outside. Remember their faces. They are no longer welcome in this Mall."

"Please, this has nothing to do with me! You can't blacklist me! Mr Lim!"

"Serves you, right, bisshh!" Mina ridiculed Divine. She could not stay only to watch this drama. She comes forward to mock the couple. "You should know who you offend or else? You'll be banned forever!"

Mina's words are meant for Divine and for every guest dining in that restaurant.

Divine and her arrogant boyfriend were dragged out of the restaurant and escorted to the parking lot to make sure they left.

Meanwhile, now that the matter was taken care of. Ricky Lim walked toward Lisa's table. He bowed and apologized. "I'm sorry about that, Miss Lisa. It won't happen again."

"You don't have to apologize, Manager Lim. But I am glad you've noticed right away." Lisa replied with a warm smile. "Jungkook is on the other line. He wanted to talk to you."

Suddenly, Ricky gets worried that Jungkook is upset about what happened. He was to blame if worse had happened in the parking lot.

Ricky only talked to Jungkook for a brief moment. He gave back the phone to Lisa and apologized once again before he left the restaurant.

"Now that's karma!" Minnie muttered pleasingly.
