Chapter 51 : President Jeon Is Scary in the Dark

___________________________________

Lisa was on her way back to the city when she received Jungkook's call.

According to Yeji and her brother, they were originally going to leave after the fireworks show in the manor's nightclub ended.

However, Lisa remembered that she had to treat Jungkook that night and wanted to go home earlier.

It was only seven o'clock, two hours away from the time she had agreed to meet Jungkook. Lisa didn't know why Jungkook would call her. When she picked up the call, she felt a little uneasy. "President Jeon."

Hearing Lisa address her as President Jeon, Yeji, who had been chattering away, immediately shut up.

On the other end of the phone, Jungkook's voice was emotionless. "Have you finished reviewing the business course?"

Lisa felt a little guilty for some reason. "I.. I've finished my revision..."

She couldn't possibly tell him that she had gone out with Yeji and Hyunjin for a day.

Jungkook narrowed his eyes, and the coldness in his eyes intensified. Not only did she reject him, but she also went out to play with the Hwang siblings. Moreover, she even lied to him.

"When can you come over?" Jungkook asked, trying to suppress his emotions.

Lisa was slightly startled. "Didn't we promise to meet at nine o'clock?"

"There's something important I need to do later." The man's voice was short and cold.

"It might take another 40 minutes..."

Before she answered the phone, she had asked Hyunjin how long it would take for her to return to the city, and Hyunjin said that 40 minutes was the fastest.

"40 minutes, right?" Jungkook's eyes darkened. "Sure, I'll wait for you."

Hanging up the phone, Lisa heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, she was smart enough to bring her acupuncture kit with her when she went out today.

Otherwise, she would have to waste time going back and getting it.

"Lisa unnie, you're really brave to treat President Jeon."

Yeji, who was standing at the side, said in a low voice, "President Jeon is super scary."

"How is he terrifying?" Lisa asked, wondering what Jungkook had done to make the little girl so scared.

Yeji hesitated for a moment before looking at Hyunjin, who was driving in front. She leaned close to Lisa's ear and whispered, "President Jeon will become scary at night."
