Chapter 4 - Rise Again ("Just this one night. I will be
okay sleeping right here.") (2)

"I just went to look for you over at Ritz Carlton,
but you weren't there." Jungkook wasn't pleased
with her avoiding his question and added another
statement.

Lili stopped on her way and gave him a quick
glance. “I had probably already left by the time you
got there."

Jungkook said indifferently, "There was no
security footage of you leaving."

Having said that, he pushed closer and closer to her.

Finally, his handsome face was immediately next to
hers. "You sure you weren't hiding?"

"I have my ways." Lili dashes inside the
bathroom after she left him a wink.

Oh, the almighty god. Please tell her that her magic
would still work!

Jungkook snickered and turned back toward his
own bedroom - he would wait till tomorrow and see
what she has to say to him.

The rain was pouring even heavier than before.

He didn't know how much time had passed since he
had been staring at the ceiling before he heard a
very gentle knocking sound.

A minute or so later, Xu Lisa, with a pillow in her
arms, carefully walked inside his room. "By the way, that fox.... I didn't want it to bother you so I have the assistant take it away."

The moisture from the shower mixed with the
floral smell from her washed hair filled the room.

Underneath the bathrobe, there was her long and
slender pair of legs. Her skin was pale and seemed
to have a hint of pink underneath.

She cocked her head a little, and her long and curly
hair poured down on her shoulder, making her look
that much more delicate.

Jungkook thought to himself that he had never
really looked at her carefully. She was quite a pretty
woman. "That was your fox?"

She nodded. "Yes.... It's mine."

He gave a low "mmh" and said nothing else.

A few moments later, she was still standing by the
door with no intention in leaving.

"Something else?" He asked, out of character.

Lili's head was almost buried entirely into the
pillow, "I... am afraid of thunder."

Jungkook snickered. This woman was not afraid of
anything other than being poor. Since when was she
afraid of the thunder?

But before he had the chance to decline her, she had
already slipped onto the couch in his bedroom and
rolled herself up into a ball. "Just this one night. I will just sleep here."

Jungkook was speechless. After a little while, he
gave up on it, went back into his own bed, and forgot
that she was even there.

She was finally able to let out a sigh of relief. She
closed her eyes and got ready to go to sleep.

It was quiet inside the room. Nobody knew how much time had passed before the low and sexy voice rang again, "Xu Lisa."

"Hmm?" She rolled over and saw his back in the
dark. The man's shoulders were very broad
underneath his blanket.

"JJK has gone bankrupt." His voice was void of
undulation, so she couldn't tell how he was feeling.

Lili didn't understand what he was trying to get
at, so she said the only thing she could, "I know."

Still with his back to her, he asked, "Aren't you
worried about your $50 million?"

Even though she knew he couldn't see her
expression, she shook her head with certainty.

"No, I am not worried."

The only thing that she worried about right now was
her life.

"With your ability, you will be able to rise up again."

That's what happened in the book.
