You're Fired !

11

Since the team left before solving the case, Lisa had to work overtime, staying in the office until the evening before returning home.

When the doorbell rang,she was on the phone with Mina complaining about her intense work, “Wait a minute, there’s someone outside the door.”

Mina was very alert, “At this time? Be careful, don’t just open the door.”

Lisa said “hmm” and came to the door. After a glance through the peephole however, she became nervous. “Mina, it’s that man outside!”

“Which one? The one who used to pester you?”

“No! It’s my neighbour from the opposite door!” Lisa said, enthusiastically. “Oh my God, he actually came to me of his own accord! He finally took the initiative to come to me! Mina, thank you! Your method really worked. I thought I would have to make him a few more meals before succeeding. I didn’t expect today’s meal to be so effective! Did he really surrender his heart already?” Lisa muttered incoherently, “He is right outside my door! What do you think I should do later? What should I say?”

At that moment, a man’s low and cold voice came from outside the door, “Don’t hide, I know you’re home. Open the door for me.”

Why was his tone so overbearing and presidential?

Lisa had to admit, he really was her type.

She hung up Mina’s phone, walked to the door apprehensively and nervously, took a deep breath and opened the door with feigned composure.

The man across from her was dressed in home clothes, a far cry from his previous appearance in a suit, but his aura was the same, even though he was wearing loose casual clothes, he still carried a strong and unassailable aura. Coupled with his unforgettable face, Lisa only had eight words in her mind that were not quite right for this first meeting – encounter god, kill god, encounter devil, kill devil.

It seemed that this man was the type to chase the person he took a fancy to until the end.

Lisa bit her lip nervously and waited for the other person to speak.

The man however, was not nervous in the slightest. He glanced at Lisa. Even at the moment, he was very calm, so calm that he seemed cold.

The atmosphere was such that Lisa felt that the other party was probably going to say something stone-cold than just thank her for the roast chicken.

Under her silent stare, the other party opened his mouth,”I think you know in your heart why I’m looking for you.”

Did he have to be so… blunt? Was it a straightforward confession right off the bat? Although it seemed a bit too direct and there was no courting process, Lisa felt that for the sake of love at first sight, she could also…

Lisa’s heart was pounding. She looked at him and heard him continue in a low and soothing voice—

“Please don’t throw garbage at my doorstep in the future.”

???
Lisa’s eyes widened, thinking she had misheard,”Throw garbage? What kind of garbage?”

The man sneered, “I checked the corridor surveillance.”

So???

“You should be thankful that I saw your behavior as mere littering, rather than an attempt to poison me, otherwise we would be meeting in court.”

Lisa was completely stunned. What was going on? Poisoning? Littering? When has she ever done any of this?

She asked, “Is there some kind of misunderstanding?”

The man on the other side threw the bag in his hand in front of Lisa. He said blankly, “This probably belongs to you, isn’t it?”

Lisa took a look at it. Wasn’t that her own baking tray in the bag?

“Yes!” Lisa breathed a sigh of relief as she recalled Mina's teachings and said gladly as if reciting lines, “This is the roast chicken I made for you. I’m a new neighbour who recently moved in. I usually like to cook for myself and share it with my friends. Now that I’ve moved here and my friends aren’t around, I wanted to share the delicious food with my new neighbours ……”

Her words were natural and fair. Lisa felt that there was nothing wrong with them. However, she didn’t know why despite her speaking these words, the man on the other side started to look at her with more and more curiosity.
“”Your friends, are they all still alive now?”

???

The man looked at Lisa and said, word for word,”Your cooking skills are really deadly.”

“……”

“Don’t make roast chicken in the future. That way, I’ll be safe, you’ll be safe and the chicken will also be safe.” When he finished, he immediately added another sentence, “No, you’d better just not do anything. For everyone’s safety, don’t even enter the kitchen.”

“……”

Lisa finally reacted, but… Did her roast chicken really taste so bad??

She glanced at the other person, coughed, and tried to redeem herself, “I may have missed the mark a bit with the roast chicken this time, why don’t I send you chicken soup next time to make amends? We’ll all be neighbours from now on. It’s better to have close neighbors than distant relatives.”

Unfortunately, the man refused Lisa’s kind offer without a thought. “Next month, City A will implement garbage classification. Can you tell me how I should classify your chicken soup? Soup is considered wet garbage, chicken bones are considered dry garbage, and chicken meat is considered wet garbage? If you send me food again, I will charge you for my garbage sorting fee.” His handsome eyes coldly gave Lisa a glance, “I have already disposed of your roast chicken. Don’t give me any more things. I’m not as strong as your friends.”

“…”

She really didn’t know what kind of wound the roast chicken left on the man… When he walked to his door, he didn’t forget to turn his head as he looked at Lisa threateningly. “If you ever send me food again, I’ll call the police.“

“…”
Her handsome neighbor finally left Lisa alone, with the sound of a door slammed shut.

It was obvious now, her roast chicken had left a haunting impression on him.

Lisa thought angrily, his comment on the chicken soup was simply wrong. Obviously it wouldn’t be great, but the soup could easily be perfected with just a little hard work!

Although his face was expressionless, Jungkook’s heart was still shaking until he returned to his house.

It was horrible. It turned out that it wasn’t a stool that looked like a roast chicken, but a roast chicken that looked like a stool.

When he had furiously rushed to the property management for surveillance, he had identified the suspect in his heart but when his new neighbor appeared on the surveillance screen, he was still in disbelief.

And that disbelief turned into extreme shock when he clearly saw the opponent’s face.

It was her again! How come it was always her!

Even Jungkook, who didn’t believe in good or evil, began to think that he had probably struck an evil spirit. The biggest evil of all was now living next door to him.

Jimin’s cooking was also very bad, but compared to the woman from the opposite door, he didn’t even deserve a name in the dark cuisine world.

Jungkook had been a bit hungry at first, but when he thought of the “roast chicken” he had just seen, he felt so visually and psychologically traumatised that he was unable to eat even a bite of rice.
