You're Fired !

98

Today, Lisa suddenly received too much information, and her heart was filled with various emotions, including swelling, uncontrollable pain and heartache, as well as suppressed anger. Although time has passed and Jungkook has grown stronger and more mature, and is no longer in hardship, Lisa still feels sad and even blames herself. Even if she couldn’t have met Jungkook earlier, she feels that if she could have been with him earlier, it might have been a compensation for her past life. She has never been so eager to see Jungkook before.

She wants to see him and hug him.

Unfortunately, many things never go as planned. The meeting with Jungkook’s client was delayed due to a dispute among executives, which meant he couldn’t come back for dinner tonight. The person she wanted to see couldn’t come, but the one she didn’t want to see showed up at her door.

Hyunjae contacted Lisa again and sent her a message: “Lisa, you forgot to take the crab earlier. I just finished visiting a client near JJ firms. Can you come down and get it?”

This time,Lisa directly called Hyunjae back: “Lawyer Kang, now you and I are representatives of opposing parties in the same case. I think for the sake of avoiding suspicion and preventing any inappropriate association with my client, I suggest we keep our distance. As for the crab, I don’t need it because my boyfriend will buy it for me.”

Hyunjae was not really concerned about the crab. He paused for a moment and, hearing the natural phrase “boyfriend” in Lisa tone, sighed and said, “Lisa, you’re still as stubborn as ever and won’t listen to my advice. Jungkook is not really the right man for you…”

Originally trying to suppress her emotions, Lisa finally burst out laughing after hearing Hyunjae’s words. After thinking about it, she decided to meet with Hyunjae because she was suddenly tired of maintaining surface politeness with him, to the point where Hyunjae still thought he could interfere with her life as her mentor.

She didn’t want this anymore and didn’t want to see Hyunjae make Jungkook sad again. If possible, she even hoped that the two words “Hyunjae” would never appear in Jungkook’s future life.

Many things had changed, and while Hyunjae had truly helped her, after spending so much time at ZhaoHui, Lisa no longer felt like she owed Hyunjae anything. It was time to make a real decision with him.

In life, you have to let go and know what you really care about.

After thinking this through, Lisa didn’t refuse anymore. Jungkook was working overtime tonight, so she happened to be free and made plans with Hyunjae to have a farewell meal at a restaurant downstairs.

In the end, they agreed to meet at the restaurant owned by Lisa and Jungkook’s non-mainstream neighbor. When he saw Lisa bringing in a man who wasn’t Jungkook, he glanced at her with a subtle and complex expression and muttered-
“Another victim.”

“…..”
However, Hyunjae didn’t pay attention to this interruption. He carried the crabs, took a seat, ordered some dishes, and then ordered tea.
“I saw on Dianping that this dessert place is quite famous. You like sweet things, so I’ll order a few more for you.”

At this moment, Hyunjae’s tone was mild and he was dressed elegantly. He was still considerate and remembered Lisa’s preferences. Everything seemed unchanged, but Lisa knew very well that everything had changed.

In fact, she could have waited until the dishes were served before confronting him. It would seem less embarrassing that way, as food can always dilute many conflicts. However, when Lisa saw Hyunjae, she remembered the hardships that Jungkook had suffered in his youth. She couldn’t calm down, nor could she think rationally. Whenever it came to Jungkook, she couldn’t consider what the best timing was.
