"Everything is fine now," Lisa told Jungkook on the phone.

"You should call security immediately if this happens again, or any situation in the future."

"Ah, that... Okay... I will keep it in mind," Lisa didn't argue might Jungkook insist on another thing. Sometimes she wanted to stop Jungkook from being exaggerated by showering her with a luxurious life.

She is used to this kind of life, but it was too much already! It made her uncomfortable strolling around the mall followed by bodyguards. At first, that is the setting, until she complains to Jungkook.?She understood though because the media wanted a piece of her.

Well, her dad is the same anyway. It takes a while before he let her roam Australia alone. Ah... Not really... Unless she is with the boys or one of the boys accompanied her.

And now, it was Jungkook who assures that she was comfortable, where she was treated well and served which became unbelievable.

"All right! I phoned you to inform you that I might come home late tonight. I have multiple meetings today for my business trip next week."

"Oh! You're going out of the country."

"Yes! Well... Let us talk about it more tomorrow over breakfast."

"Right!" Lisa bites her lip to suppress her playful smile. Of course, she knew where Jungkook was headed! It was she who requested Jungkook to fly to Australia and survey Dream City, and he to began to design what she dreamed of for a long time.

"Um... I'm hanging up now for you to continue having lunch. Please, have a good time shopping," said Jungkook.

"Thank you."

After exchanging a few more words, Lisa put down her phone and continued eating her food.

"What?" She glared at the girls when they haven't settled down from being thrilled over her and Jungkook's conversation.

"Boss is too Romantic!" Shuhua squealed, which made Lisa blush.

"And you're in love!" Minnie and Mina echoed.

"Hey!" She could not believe these teenagers would tease her like this. Probably, because she is now transparent about her feelings for Jungkook.

"You know, Lily. You should report it to the management the moment that a*hole steals your spot."

"Honestly, I don't want to take advantage of Jungkook's influences."

"Nah-ah! You should start getting used to the privilege given to you. It's no difference when you become Mrs Jeon."

Lisa was choked with the sparkling sweet wine she is gulping. She looks at Mina with awe. She said it loudly and their neighbouring table glanced in their direction!

"Hey, keep your voice down!" Her face is flushing red. Mina got her good with her jokes.

"What? Jungkook is not getting younger!" Mina snaps. "He needs a real wife and you two should have children as soon as possible."

"Okay. But Jeon already had grandchildren. Jungkook's sisters had children already." Lisa realized, Mina always cheers on her relationship with Jungkook. Sadly, Mina didn't know that it was just a contract.

"That's the point! Jungkook is the oldest, but he hasn't produced any child yet! Thank god he didn't make Jennie the mother of his child. That girl is annoying, you know?"

"Okay." That was what she could only respond to. What else could she say? She is only the Contractual Mistress, she is not Jungkook's real girlfriend, to begin with. And she could not tell Mina, Minnie, and Shuhua about the truth.

The thought of her being Jungkook's wife does not sound bad. And being a mother of his child? It even sounds better. No. It was wonderful! However, things are complicated between them. A lot of things to consider first. Several things have to take care of first. It's not only on Jungkook's part but moreover, on her part.

Besides, remaining in her mind is the girl mentioned that he likes before. What if Jungkook met her again?

Ah. Why was she thinking about this stuff? She has nothing to do with Jungkook's real love life. That is supposed to be...

Lunch is over, they head to the shop where Mina picks out her dress.

"Good afternoon, Miss Mina! Welcome! Please, come in." The store manager leads them upstairs where the expensive party dress can try on and makes changes on the spot.

Shuhua and Minnie stop breathing after they checked the prices of the dresses worn by the mannequins. The same as the dresses hanging on the racks.

And because Lisa already turned down Jungkook's invitation to be his date. She leisurely sat on the couch while flipping through the catalogue of other dresses that were made to order.

Meanwhile, Mina began her fittings. First, she tries on a white dress, but it looks like she is getting married. She tries a pink one next. And she looks like having her eighteen birthday for the second time.

Mina tried blue and red dresses, but she could not choose which one made her look stunning.

"Lily, I think you should try on, too!" Mina suggested. She was looking at her reflection, wearing a purple evening dress.

Lisa replied, "Nah. I'm not attending the class reunion."

"I know. But why not try them some?"

"Oh, can we try on a few dresses too?" Shuhua was hoping to try on these gorgeous gowns and have a photo of them to update her Instagram. It's a rare opportunity she has and she will seize this opportunity!

"Yes, Mina! Can we ask the store manager's permission?" Minnie whispered to Mina not to be heard, but the store manager came to her.

The store manager smiled. "Of course, you can! Miss Mina rented the store for a whole afternoon to try on all the dresses we have her upstairs."

Minnie and Shuhua look at Mina with amazement. Having money can do anything. But being a kind and down-to-earth person in front of your friends is something in this world.

"Thank you, Mina!" Both Minnie and Shuhua hug Mina tight. The two girls were enthralled while they were picking out the dresses they wanted to try on.

Mina laughs nervously. True that her family runs a few businesses, but it's nothing compared to Jeon's! And what happens today is that because of the privilege she received from her sponsor and she could not tell her friends about it.

Now that both Minnie and Shuhua were immersed themselves in which dresses they would try, Mina fixes her attention on Lisa, who seems not thrilled to see all of these gowns in the store. She walked toward Lisa and pulled her hand. "You too! You must try these dresses!"

"That is not needed!" Lisa refused. She remained seated on the couch, but Mina is persistent.

"Come on! I saw a gorgeous red dress! You should try it on!"

"Mina?" Lisa gives up when Mina dragged her toward the fitting room and pushes her down to the round couch in front of a wall mirror.

"Wait here! I'll bring you the dress!" Mina told Lisa, and she rushed outside. Not long after, she brought the red dress and a cream evening gown she talked about.

"I don't need to try them on!" She insisted.

"Yes, you will! We are already here, then why not?" said Mina with a playful smile. In the end, Lisa tried on the dresses Mina gave her.

And it's not just two or three dresses. Mina keeps giving her all the styles and designs the store has! She was like in a photoshoot! And that is because Mina always takes a photo of her every time she steps out of the fitting room where her friends would judge the dress she puts on.

"Guys? This is the sixth dress I try on."

"But none is perfect yet," Mina remarks.

"Perfect for what?"
