The moment she heard this, Jennie could not help but be stumped. She gasped. "You're so daring! The documents after that were data that everyone got from detailed analysis, but you changed it by yourself. Wouldn't all our hard work from before be...?"
"Every choice we make is a gamble. I'm willing to go with my gut feeling, but naturally, all of your hard work won't go to waste either," Lisa responded mysteriously, his gaze subconsciously looking at Jisoo. Jennie was startled as she followed his gaze and looked over too. Indeed, she saw Jisoo's handsome face that had darkened!
"You were guarding it against him?"
Jennie then came to a realization. She thought about the document from before. Indeed, if they had used that, then...
Because of the fact that he could be so calm with such high stakes, she could not help but admire him.
After the announcement of the bidders, there were soon congratulatory wishes. Even Hyunbin smiled and nodded at them from up front.
Next up, there were several other project tenders that continued. Lisa and Jennie listened intensely, privately taking note of certain companies.
When the tender meeting ended, it was already close to noon, and it was time for a break.
Lisa and Jennie waited until almost everyone left before they got up to pack up. They still had to discuss the concrete matters in the afternoon, so the husband and wife decided to go straight to Imperial Sky Hotel which was not far away for lunch. It was easy to get to and it was in the city centre.
"Master, Missus, I've already gotten them to prepare the dishes. Miss Yeji is at the Manoban residence, not the club."
Jennie was initially going to call Yeji along too.
Lisa nodded as he took over the documents in Jennie's hand and handed it to Haruto to arrange. Then, he took Jennie's hand and said softly, "Just let them send it straight to the room. Let's go."
Lisa had an exclusive suite for himself over there.
"Yes, Master!"
With this response, the husband and wife vanished out of the door.
However, just as they walked out of the meeting hall and turned at a corner on the way to the elevator, they bumped into Jisoo who was waiting at the walkway!
Lisa slowed down as he glanced up slightly and indifferently at Jisoo who was leaning against the wall. His still eyes were shifting with a mixed light. It looked vaguely sharp with a dim light.
Jennie could feel his fingers that were interlocked with hers tighten. When she looked up at him, she noticed that he seemed quiet. His eyes squinted and he was watching Jisoo calmly. You could not tell if he felt anything else.
"Long time no see, Master Manoban!"
Leaning against the wall, Jisoo grinned with a demonic charm. He leisurely pulled up his sleeve a little and caressed the cufflinks on them before he flicked his fingers. "I was wondering how much longer were you planning on hiding. How is it? Have the nightmares been difficult to get rid of these past few years? Have you been dreaming of your life being commanded?"
When Jisoo said this, Lisa's handsome face turned frigid. A cold light flashed through his narrowed eyes. Moments after that, he chuckled calmly, "Second Master Kim? Long time no see. Don't you know that I've never believed in the supernatural?"
Jisoo instantly raised his brows, lifting a hand to brush his brows, yet his gaze that swept across Lisa was cold as ice. He could not help but laugh. "It looks like you have a clear conscience and no guilt at all. Your little sister... Oh no, it should be your cousin, whom I've met. With such a huge scar on her face, she's considered ruined. Gee, how could you be this calm?"
"Why wouldn't I be calm? Back then it was your brother, Sehun that provoked me first. I gave them a chance eight years ago, but they didn't want it themselves. You knew very well what the Gu family was planning. They wanted to plot against me, Lisa, so I had to make them pay a price," Lisa answered calmly. His still eyes were condensed with silence, making him unfathomable.
"How vicious of you, Lisa!" Jisoo's eyes flashed with a crisp light as his gaze fixated on Lisa's handsome face.
Lisa did not object and smiled nonchalantly. "Vicious? If I had trampled on all of you, and you let me succeed, would you all be willing? I would never have provoked anyone. Years ago, for Suho's sake, I was willing to let your brother, Sehun, be with Gu Lingsha. The Gu family had given up Gu Lingsha to collaborate with the Kim family. When the deed was done, you'd have disposed of me. Aren't you guys the vicious ones?"
"Lisa, don't forget that Shasha is..."
"Is what? Did you think that I would be a fool? Or did all of you overestimate Gu Lingsha?" Lisa smiled naturally, playing it down as he looked at Jisoo. Then, he held Jennie's hand and walked over.
"But if it weren't for you, they would've been fine. Suho wouldn't have died, and Yeji wouldn't have been disfigured all because you said that you'd look into it and not let go, Lisa!"
Seeing Lisa pass by, Jisoo turned around and quickly ran up. His eyes were hidden with surging emotions, and his gaze bright as lightning!
"In fact, did you know that Shasha was already... All of these weren't her real intentions!"
"Weren't her real intentions? If I'd just ended you, and then said it wasn't my real intention, how would you feel? Second Master Kim, I'm sure you aren't someone that naive. You've been around in the business field for so many years now. Don't you know that someone like me would only see the outcome and not care about the process?"
Jisoo was stunned. He looked at Lisa gloomily and did not answer.
Lisa still confidently looked at him, then continued walking ahead with Jennie, ignoring him.
Jennie just let him pull her away, without saying anything at all. She was just confused.
Gu Lingsha?
This should be that woman he had mentioned before!
He pulled her into the elevator, feeling dazed. Downstairs, when they walked out of the office building, Jennie finally could not help but long to ask him about it. However, unexpectedly, she just looked up when she saw that the two leaders were chatting with Hyunbin downstairs.
Hyunbin quickly noticed Lisa and Jennie, so he said to the two people before him, "Let's just do that first. If there are any issues, just call my office." The two of them very quickly nodded and left.
"Jennie, Lisa!" Lisa and Jennie had just walked down the stairs when Hyunbin waved to them.
Jennie nodded, pulling herself free from Lisa's hand, and walked two steps ahead. She calmly answered, "Father."
Behind her, Lisa greeted as well, "Father."
