It was a feast that night. Lisa prepared the meal for Jennie anyway, so he made all of her favorite dishes.

She had been pretty tired lately and had even lost weight, so Lisa was quite worried about her. As a result, he decided to make her a lavish dinner.

Jisoo was stunned to see a table full of delicious dishes. He gaped at Lisa and Jennie in surprise. He could not believe these were made by him, Master Manoban!

Who exactly was Lisa?

The person controlling Glory World, the Master of the Manoban family, always looked so elegant and distant. Now, he found out that the man could actually cook so well!

Jisoo gave Lisa a long stare. Both of them came from prestigious families. He was all too familiar with a carefree life since his mother, Wang Qin, never let him cook because she thought he would just mess up the kitchen.

Jisoo then remembered that there were indeed some differences between them. He had joined the army with Moonbyul and Seulgi before. They were all very low-profile and rarely showed themselves in public. It was very rare to see them appearing at banquets or social events.

Seulgi would still show up from time to time, but Lisa and Moonbyul would never appear. Usually, Vice President Liu Lingyu or Zhang Lan would attend important events in his place.

While Jisoo was the Vice President of Kim Group, he did not really have any power. Of course, he would be the one attending these events, which was why he knew this very well.

"Lisa, you really surprise me. No wonder..."

Looking at the feast before him, Jisoo's eyes wavered. His gaze seemed like he was looking into something distant; one would wonder what he was thinking about.

Lisa prepared a glass of juice for Jennie. Then, he grabbed a bottle of whiskey and glanced at Jisoo. "Is whiskey fine?"

Jisoo came back to his senses when he heard Lisa's voice, and he nodded.

Lisa then poured a glass for himself and Jisoo.

"Welcome to Maple Residence." Lisa raised his glass and prepared for a toast.

"My pleasure!" Jisoo raised his glass as well.

Watching both of them, Jennie was reminded of them meeting during the tender event. Things had almost gone haywire then, yet now the two of them seemed to be friendly with each other. There was no smell of gunpowder in the air.

"Are you surprised about my sudden visit today?" Jisoo took a sip of his whiskey, seeming pretty serious today instead of his casual self.

Lisa smiled as he put his glass down and made a gesture for Jisoo to start eating. He then grabbed Jennie's bowl and served her some soup.

Lisa was calm. He replied as he put the bowl of soup in front of Jennie, "Would you believe me if I said that you knew you were going to have to look for me sooner or later?"

Jisoo nodded and laughed. "Of course, of course! That's just the way you work. I'm sure you'll just ignore me and stay away if I don't come up and talk to you face-to-face."

Lisa lowered his eyes and gave him a smile. "You seem to know me very well." He then raised his glass and emptied it.

Jennie finally caught on. Jisoo was here to meet Lisa all along. It was no wonder he kept asking if Lisa would be around when they were on their way here. She thought he was being inconsiderate and wanted to be a huge third wheel between them!

"Not exactly, but I've thought a lot ever since we had dinner the last time. I think we can forgo some of our past grudges now. I have something to talk to you about." Jisoo was clear about his intentions.

Lisa told him before that Miyeon might be coming back and that he tried to get some information out of Wang Qin, but Wang Qin disliked Miyeon a lot. His scandal with Jennie had just passed, so he did not want to cause a big fuss now. If he tried to investigate Kim Joon now, the latter might notice and it would backfire on him.

After giving it some thought, the fastest way to acquire accurate information would be from Lisa. He knew that he had been investigating for five years, so he should know almost everything.

"We'll talk later. Let's enjoy dinner for now," Lisa said calmly without looking at Jisoo. He picked the chopsticks up and put some food on Jennie's plate. He never liked to discuss business over meals.

Jisoo understood his intent, and his eyes darkened as he went deep in thought.

The two of them went quiet but the atmosphere was getting a little tense. Jennie glanced at both of them before saying, "Master Kim, have a taste of Mr. Manoban's cooking. Then, you'll understand what standard he's at."

Jisoo raised his eyebrows. He then remembered this woman held onto grudges easily. He put on a sly smile and glanced over at the pair of couple opposite him. "Thank you for having me. I'll enjoy myself."

He then picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

After just a taste, he gave Lisa a surprised look again. He then went on feasting.

Jennie smiled and glanced at Lisa. Two of them looked at each other in the eyes and smiled.

After the meal, Jennie witnessed Jisoo's true talent. This guy was really good at eating!

While he ate very elegantly, he ate way too much. Jennie also noticed that the way he looked at her Mr. Manoban was odd, so she grabbed his hand unconsciously. If any other people saw this, they might have thought Jisoo was into Mr. Manoban.

Jennie did not eat much and Lisa did not have a big appetite as well. Instead, most of the food went into Jisoo's stomach. In the end, only some soup was left.

Jennie would never understand why Jisoo was eating that much. Was he was feeling happy hence the huge appetite?

Knowing that Lisa was serving him, he decided to come over for more meals in the future. Free food was awesome!

How childish!
