Hear My Heart: My World Falls into the River of Love /Liskook Adaptation/

Chapter 9: Unveiling the Mask

Lisa didn't have many friends, and the only one that could genuinely be considered a close friend was Rose. She didn't know, however, why she and Justin S. were able to chat so naturally; they had even seen past each other's mask.

Lili-Ann: 「These days, I've been preparing for a new project.」

Justin S.: 「Teacher, you are worthy of being the model of the manhua world. You only just finished 《Satisfactory》and are already preparing for a new project! 『smile-cry』」

Lili-Ann: 「Mn, earning money is rather important.」

Lili-Ann: 「 I mean, work is rather important 『sweat』」

Justin S.: 「Earning money truly is very important 23333」

Lili-Ann: 「『囧』」

Lisa reflected on herself as she stared at her computer screen. How come when she was only a little careless, she would speak her true feelings?

Justin S.: 「Can you divulge what this new project is about? 『cute』」

Lili-Ann: 「I want to draw a female lead who sells clothes in a shopping mall.」

Justin S.: 「(⊙o⊙) Department stores? Kind of like Starlight General Merchandise?」

Lili-Ann: 「Mhmm」

Justin S.: 「Sounds very interesting. When you publish, I will definitely support you :)」

Lili-Ann: 「Thanks ^_^」

Justin S.: 「Actually, I've always been really curious. Are manhua artists like you similar to authors, where you go out and collect material for an unfamiliar environment that constantly appears within your work?」

Lili-Ann: 「This depends on the person. I know many writers who do.」

Justin S.: 「Does teacher do this as well?」

Lili-Ann: 「Mhmm」

Justin S.: 「Okay, I understand. :)」

Justin S.: 「I need to go to work now; I'll talk to you again next time.」

Lili-Ann: 「 OK」

Jungkook stared at the two letters she had send in reply. Chuckling for a moment, he clicked the 「X」 to exit QQ. He called his secretary's line. "Tell HR Kim Jennie to come over."

"Understood, Director Jeon."

Soon after Jennie received the summons, she was standing in Jungkook's office. "Hello, Director Jeon. May I ask what you are seeking me for?"

Jungkook looked at her before lightly raising the corners of his mouth. "That friend you introduced last time, she was the famous manhua artist Lili-Ann, right?"

Jennie started before panicking and hurriedly asking, "How did you know?"

Jungkook smiled. "You just confirmed it."

Jennie: "..."

Director Jeon, why are your methods so deep?

She wiped her face before explaining to Jungkook, "That, she said she wanted to come to a department store to collect material. I thought that since the end of the year isn't very busy and that she had always been very efficient in her work, I could allow her to come... I asked Hui Hui. She said that Lisa works very earnestly, and her sales record is very impressive!"

"Mn."

Jennie: "..."

What do you mean by 'Mn?'

"Then... did you want to fire her?" Jennie hesitantly asked. Although 'fire her' wasn't exactly correct, as she was originally on a trial period and hadn't signed an official contract.
