Seeing that Jungkook’s mother was fine, Jimin called some other of his drinking buddies and without staying any longer, he said goodbye to Jungkook and left. Jungkook returned to the villa along the same road. On the way, he received a call from a client and was delayed for a while. As a result, when he got home, Lisa had already left, and only Ms. Sumin was left in the living room sighing in resentment.

Sumin’s cast had now been completely removed by Lisa, as it was naturally uncomfortable and constricting for her to wear a cast. It was a pity that she had endured for so long, even going so far as to take a wheelchair, but in the end, she had lost everything. Ms. Sumin lamented and could not help but scold Lisa angrily, and now when she saw Jungkook, her first reaction was to complain —
“Son, this housekeeper you hired really makes my head spin when I see her everyday. She’s so demonic, she doesn’t look like a proper housekeeper either. Look at her, she can’t even cook, and she’s not very good at cleaning or storage, so how is she qualified to get such a high salary as a housekeeper? Don’t you specialize in labor law? You need to dock her wages for being such a rubbish employee! kookie, it’s time to take up the law to protect your rights!”

“……”
Faced with his mother’s anger, Jungkook didn’t know what to say for a moment. He paused before saying, “She won’t be working full-time as your housekeeper from next week.”
Lisa will officially join JJ firms from next week and will no longer be in charge of his mother’s daily life on a full-time basis. Jungkook was not lying when he said that. It was also a way to stabilize his mother and give her some peace of mind.

As expected, when Ms Sumin heard the news, she became very excited, “She’s not going to work from next week? Is this a breach of contract? Does she have to pay us back for breaking the contract?”

Jungkook pursed her lips, “No, it’s already been a month, and the one-month temporary contract expires next week.”

“It’s been a month already?!” Sumin looked at the calendar on her phone incredulously, then she looked up and expressed her tumultuous emotions she was feeling at the moment —
“No! I don’t agree with her resignation!”

Jungkook was taken aback. Shouldn’t his mother be ecstatic at this point when she learned that Lisa was leaving?

Ms. Sumin cleared her throat, “Kookie, think of a way, you have to stop Lisa from leaving!”

Jungkook frowned, “Don’t you complain about her every day and ask me to find a way to sweep her off her feet without having to pay for it?”

“That’s not true, mum has suddenly changed her mind now. It’s too cheap to let her go straight away like this. I have to keep her and continue cleaning her up!”

“……”

Ms. Sumin had been very anxious ever since she heard that Lisa was leaving, and at this moment she was not hiding it at all, “Quick, Lisa has just left for a quarter of an hour. She’ll have to walk over to the main road to get a taxi. Son, go out and catch up with her and get her to renew the contract anyhow! If you don’t have enough money, I’ll pay for you! It’s just two less bags to buy? Mum’s got the money!”

“……”

Jungkook had originally wanted to rest at home for a while, but his mother had pushed him out the door. He started the car, not really holding out much hope of catching up with Lisa. The villa’s property provides a taxi calling service. At this time of the day, when it was not the rush hour, taxis were very easy to hail. Lisa would probably have already gotten into her taxi and left.

However, to his surprise, he actually caught up with Lisa.
She didn’t leave but stood under a leafy tree outside one of Jungkook’s neighbors’ villas with her head raised in a probing manner. He didn’t know what she was doing.

“What are you doing?”
Lisa was startled by the sudden voice. When she turned around, she realized that it was surprisingly Jungkook. He was sitting in his expensive car with the windows rolled down. His handsome side face looked a little more vivid in the dim light.

“Shhh!” Lisa made a silent gesture as she lowered her voice and said, “Turn off the car and turn off the lights first.”

Jungkook frowned, although he was not sure what she was doing, but still complied and turned off the car engine. He opened the car door and got out to check the situation.
When Lisa saw Jungkook get out of the car, she hurriedly pulled him over, pointed above herself and leaned close to his ear and whispered, “See?”

Unexpectedly her breath lingered around Jungkook’s ears and caught him off guard. The warm stream of air brought a faint smell of citrus eau de toilette, and Jungkook took a step back subconsciously. The distance was too close for him.

Jungkook almost absentmindedly looked up in the direction Lisa pointed out, “Oh, the moon is quite full tonight.”

“……”

Lisa glared at Jungkook, “You think I’m standing here to enjoy the moon?”

“Didn’t you?”

“Of course not!”

Jungkook paused, then frowned with a look of realization, “So you’re here to raise your head and treat your cervical spondylosis.”

“……”

Lisa was simply speechless. She could 100% confirm that Jungkook was definitely his mother Ms Sumin’s own child. This mudslide thinking and operation of his was really exactly the same as his mother.

She pulled Jungkook over, “You stand at my angle and look up!”

Jungkook followed the angle that Lisa was looking up at and finally saw that what Lisa was looking at was a tiny cat in the tree. The cat had somehow climbed up to such a high branch and was now shivering and afraid to come down.

“Come on, Mimi, jump down. It’s okay, there’s no dog here, the big dog that was chasing you just now has been chased away by me!”

It was a pity that no matter how much Lisa  tried to persuade her, the cat still hesitated to come down from the tree.
“This stray cat in your neighborhood was chased and beaten by an unleashed dog. So it fled up the tree and now refuses to come down.” Lisa looked up again and said, “Forget it, I’ll go up and bring it down myself.”

When she finished speaking, she simply took off her coat, rolled up her sleeves, and before Jungkook could react, she jumped up the fence of Jungkook’s neighbor’s house and started climbing up the tree. It was a good thing that everything went smoothly and Lisa finally reached out to catch the kitty. It was a pity that she had just stepped back onto the fence and was about to jump down when suddenly, the lights in the courtyard of the family villa turned on.

“Who?! Which thief?” An angry shout came from a distance and soon reached the fence, “How dare you steal from this old woman! See if I don’t clean you up!”

As soon as the words left her mouth, without waiting for Lisa to explain, a strong stream of water came spraying towards her. The lady of the house was so ruthless that she used a high-pressure water gun with a hose which was usually used to wash the car to greet her. Lisa was not mentally prepared at all, and under this strong water pressure, she lost her balance directly and fell off the fence.

The fence was not too high, but not too short either. Lisa shielded the cat in her hand and only had time to close her eyes in the weightlessness and prepare for the impending collision and pain.

But to her surprise, none of this happened. What she ended up in was the warm embrace of someone who stumbled a little at first when he caught herself, but soon he steadied himself. Then a strong hand wrapped around her waist, and a few seconds later, her feet finally landed firmly on the ground, and the dizzying weightlessness was over for good.

All of this happened in only a few seconds, but it was so thrilling that it seemed like a lifetime of ups and downs.

Lisa looked up and was caught off guard when she saw Jungkook’s eyes.
