You're Fired !

100

The negotiation with Hyunjae didn’t need to become so tense, and there was no need for Lisa to explain so much. She only needed to state her attitude and cut off all contact with Hyunjae. He would naturally understand. However, Lisa still spoke

After saying this, she did not regret it. She felt that the words that the young Jungkook couldn’t say to slap Hyunjae in the face twenty years ago had finally been spoken by herself.

After Lisa finished speaking, she looked at Hyunjae , who was sitting with a gloomy and defeated expression. He looked up at her with a sad and humble tone: “Lisa, are you going to break up with me? I…what you said…I will seriously consider it. I did a lot of things wrong, but I helped you when you were in the most difficult situation. Now it’s my most difficult time, you can’t…”

“No, she can.”
Hyunjae’s words were somewhat of a moral blackmailing, but as Lusa’s benefactor, once he spoke, Lisa, who had always been grateful, didn’t know what to say for a moment. While she was struggling, the pearl curtain of the private room was lifted by a bony hand, and then the cold and calm voice of Jungkook came over.

Hyunjae looked almost soulless towards the door, and then he saw Jungkook standing there, tall and handsome. Even though he was standing against the light with a cold expression, he still had a strong presence. This little boy who once bit his hand had grown into a man taller than himself without him realizing it.
Exposed by all past events, Hyunjae felt as if he was naked and exposed in front of Jungkook and Lisa. He looked at Jungkook with a dry mouth and said, “Jungkook… you…”

Hyunjae thought that Jungkook would get angry, argue with him, or at least smash a cup. However, to his surprise, none of this happened. Jungkook only gave him a cold glance, as if looking at a dirty ant. There was no hatred in his eyes like every time they met before, but rather a sense of calmness.
“Lawyer Kang, you are also forty years old now and should know the rules of doing things. If it is about official communication regarding a case, please remember not to bypass me, who is also the main lawyer on the case, and only inform my colleagues. If it’s about personal matters, please respect yourself and stop bothering my girlfriend privately, taking up her time and affecting us, young people, in our love life.”
Then Jungkook looked at Lisa, and the coldness and expressionlessness just now were swept away. His eyes became gentle and his tone was soft, as if he had suddenly jumped from winter to spring. He gently said, “L8sa, I’ll take you home.” Then he reached out to Lisa.

Lisa looked at Jungkook and couldn’t help but smile. She said, “Okay.” Then she stood up without hesitation, walked to Jungkook’s side, and held his hand with her own.

At this moment, no words were needed. The two of them already knew everything in each other’s eyes. They didn’t pay attention to Lin Hui in the private room anymore, but held hands tightly and walked out together, as if they had entered a new chapter in life and bid farewell to the past.

It wasn’t until they walked out of the restaurant hand in hand that L8sa finally couldn’t help breaking the silence. “Jungkook… don’t you have anything to say?”

Just now, when she defended Jungkook against Hyunjae, she was quite clever. But now, facing Jungkook, Lisa couldn’t help feeling shy. She didn’t know when Jungkook came and how much he heard.

Jungkook stopped and looked at Lisa, his hand still holding hers tightly, and then he tightened it even more. Then this annoying man looked calmly ahead and said, “Oh, nothing. Just a little regret.”

Lisa was a little puzzled. “Regret what?”

Jungkook smiled and took her hand again, walking forward. After a moment, he spoke again, “If I had known that being pitiful was so effective, I would have told you everything earlier.”
