The Crippled Boss's Outstanding Substitute Wife | Book 3

479.Made People Uneasy

If she didn't want to trouble the Jeon Corporation and didn't want to fight, what was she trying to do? Could it be that she threw the glass to vent her anger? These people looked down on Lisa when she first came in, but after seeing her full of vigor, no one dared to do so.

"If you're unwilling to help, then forget it." Just as everyone's vigilance towards Lisa continued to increase, she suddenly waved her hand and said indifferently, "Sorry that I didn't treat you well. Please forgive me.You may leave now."

Was this an attempt to send them off? But her goal was not achieved yet. How could she let them off so easily? Was it that simple? Jongdae and the others were prepared to have a tug-of-war with Lisa. They were also prepared to be put in a difficult position. After all, she should have been a little angry when she had been dragged on for so long. But in the end, did Lisa let them go so easily? This anticlimactic feeling made people feel uneasy.

...

Jongdae felt uneasy, but he could not figure out Lisa's moves. He could only try to probe the situation. "Then... Thank you for your hospitality, Mrs. Jeon. Shall we make a move first?"

Lisa sat in her seat and smiled faintly. "Please." She looked like she did not care about them at all. Jongdae felt even more uneasy. After all, when he first knew that he was going to meet Lisa, his heart was full of contempt. He didn't think that Lisa was difficult to deal with. She was a girl who came from the slums, what tricks could she have? She was able to survive in the upper class circle with Jungkook's support. That was probably her limit.

In Jongdae's heart, Lisa had nothing impressive. On the other hand, Baekhyun was straightforward and didn't understand the ways of the world. Therefore, he was planning to trick the two of them during the dinner. It wouldn't be too difficult. However, Lisa had broken his plan again and again by going against common sense. Mrs. Jeon was really good-looking, but when she put on a cold face, her aura was really strong. Jongdae couldn't help but tremble in fear despite being a veteran in the industry. After seeing Lisa lose her temper, they would never see her the same way.

"Mrs. Jeon, we are just small potatoes..." The more indifferent Lisa acted, the more uneasy Jongdae felt. He forced a smile. "It's not that we are unwilling to help. It's just that we can't make the decision either. Please don't blame us." He put it in a way that would make it easier for them in the future. He did not know what kind of backup plan Lisa would have. The only thing he could do was to be less extreme. He did not want to offend Lisa too much.

Lisa smiled but remained silent. From the moment she entered the door, she had been putting up this attitude. She was neither hot nor cold, neither excited nor angry. Other than the incident just now, she kept a smile from the beginning to the end. She looked at them calmly. The more she acted like this, the more unfathomable she seemed.

Jongdae was secretly ranting. He thought that the Jeon Corporation would not cross the line and pressure them for the sake or a movie. The Jeon Corporation wouldn't be able to control much. Then, they shouldn't be afraid of Lisa. If he acted formally, no one could do anything to him. He gave Lisa face and said nice things. No matter how powerful the Jeon family was, they could not be unreasonable, right?

However, it was proven that he shouldn't have looked down on others. At this moment, Jongdae was in a dilemma. He braced himself and said with a bitter smile, "Mrs. Jeon, we are just following the orders of the higher-ups..." He pointed at the ceiling and reminded her, "Someone ordered us. Once we get through this, we will try to arrange for you. It's just that you need to wait for a while. You won't wait later than the summer holidays."

Under normal circumstances, it was a good thing to have the movie screened during the summer holidays. When the students were on holiday, there would be a lot of people watching the movie. Many movies could not get screened on the summer holidays even if they wanted to. However, Lisa did not have to fight for the slot. What else could she complain about?

Jongdae had been able to sit in this position for so many years. He was cautious and careful. He had revealed a lot of information to Lisa now.

So it was not that their movie was banned, but it had to be delayed a little, right? Lisa was deep in thought. She shook her wine glass and chuckled. "What are you talking about, Manager Kim? I'm more than happy that you could come over today. What's there to blame?"
