Early the next morning, Lisa and Jennie were just as how they were before he left. They woke up together, and after a simple breakfast, the husband and wife made their way to the office.

When Lisa personally walked Jennie to her office, the staff in the Planning Department saw the Chairman accompanying her. They were very excited for a long time. They barely caught a glimpse of their Chairman Manoban, so it was rare for someone like him to be at their department in person.

However, all of that was thanks to their Director Kim who allowed them to have the honor of witnessing their Prince Charming in action.

"You're only allowed to work for an hour. Arrange the matters, then come upstairs. I'll tell Haruto to get you." Lisa helped her to her chair, and then put her handbag onto the table.

"It's fine. You go up too. There are many things piled up on your desk. I'll have to make a trip to VP Zhang Lan. Let's meet at noon."

Jennie pushed him away. She felt like this man was treating her like a fragile ceramic doll right then.

He lifted a hand to fix her slightly messy hair as he asked, "What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll get them to prepare it for you."

When Jennie heard his question, she thought about it quietly and turned to look at the misty drizzle outside her window. She touched her belly and suddenly turned to look at him pitifully. "I want to eat hot pot, the one I brought you to the other time. I haven't been there in so long."

"We'll go over after we leave work earlier at noon. Is Ms. Ji not coming to work today?"

"She's been working hard for many days in a row, and you're back anyway, so I told her to rest well for two days. She hasn't been in a great mood these past two days. I heard something happened at home. She seemed anxious."

Lisa nodded. "Let her rest for two days then. Okay, I'll go up first. Just call me if there's anything."

Jennie nodded obediently, then Lisa planted a kiss on her forehead before leaving her office.

...

"Master, we received news from the police station. Miyeon has decided not to look into the matter anymore. She said she fell down the stairs herself, and that it had nothing to do with Miss Naeyon."

Lisa had just walked into his office and sat down at his desk when Haruto carefully came over to report the latest piece of news.

Lisa leisurely stroked the cufflink on his sleeve as he nodded calmly. "Contact the people in Hospital T. Get them to see if there's any way we can get Jeongyeon to regain consciousness. If it really can't be done, get them to try contacting other hospitals around or hospitals abroad. As long as we can get Jeongyeon to regain consciousness, I'll do my best to satisfy any condition."

Haruto nodded. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master, Master Kim from Kim Group has also been paying attention to Mr. Yoo's condition. He's been running around the hospital. I heard that he even personally met with the Vice President of Hospital T, hoping that he can find a way to help Mr. Yoo. In fact, I heard that he personally persuaded Miyeon not to go after Miss Naeyon."

Lisa reached out to take a document from the side. He asked as he browsed through it, "Has he been visiting Miyeon often at the hospital?"

Haruto shook his head. "I heard Ryujin say that he doesn't go often. He just told his assistant, Jimin, to watch over her. Instead, he did visit Mr. Yoo a few times."

"Help me ask him out. Get him to make a trip to my office." One could not read any expression on Lisa's face as he just calmly said this. With his gaze lowered, he began to read through the document in his hand.

"Got it, Master! Right, Master, Ryujin told me to hand you this. He wants me to ask you about how we should handle it."

As Haruto said this, he handed the folder over, Lisa just looked up at him for a glance. He thought about it momentarily and then replied nonchalantly, "Give it all to Miyeon. Tell her that I hope this will be the only time."

"Yes, Master! I'll go right away!" Haruto responded, then quickly retreated.

When Jimin knocked on Jisoo's office, Jisoo was focused on working on a proposal.

"Master Kim, last night, Chairman Manoban got Ryujin to take Miss Cho away from the hospital," said Jimin carefully as he walked to Jisoo's side.

At that moment, Jisoo was sketching on a blueprint with a ruler in his hand. When he heard Jimin, he paused and then continued what he was doing. He drew a straight line on the blueprint as he asked, "Old friends catching up?"

Jimin shook his head. "Master Kim, it's probably about Miss Naeyon's matter. This morning, I heard that the whole incident was a misunderstanding. Now, it's said that it was Miss Cho who fell by herself. Also, last night, Miss Cho returned to the hospital in CEO Kim's car, and CEO Kim has even especially arranged for two bodyguards to ensure her safety now."

"Lisa? He's back?" Jisoo finally stopped what he was doing and looked up at Jimin in shock.

"Yes, last night, he returned to City Z. Earlier, his assistant, Haruto, even called to make an appointment with you. Chairman Manoban's wondering whether you're free to make a trip to Glory World tomorrow. He has some things to talk to you about."

Jisoo nodded. "Just tell him okay. Wasn't the old man having dinner at the Kim residence to entertain his gang of scoundrels? How did he know Lisa went looking for Shasha?"

"Master Kim, didn't you forget that CEO Kim arranged two bodyguards for Miss Cho?" Jimin reminded.

Jisoo's handsome brows suddenly furrowed into a knot while he pondered for a while. Then, he said calmly, "Since when did Shasha become so close to the old man? Didn't my mother make you think of ways to spy on the old man's office phone or get a copy of his handphone chip? Did we find out anything?"

"Master Kim, it isn't easy. If CEO Kim isn't in the office, he doesn't permit anyone to enter, and this is on top of Master Kim's vigilance. Our people can't get close to him at all. Recently, Yue Hai has even been speaking rudely to VP Wang. It looks like they are really disregarding VP Wang more and more. Master Kim, you might as well save Glory World as your bargaining chip. If you can get the Fuhua project, then that would be fantastic, especially if CEO Son personally appoints you to be in charge."

Concern rose within Jisoo. Based on the current situation, Wang Qin was at a disadvantage. One could have foretold that from the banquet then. They had hardly made it with Glory World when Kim Joon brought the Cho family out. Given the relationship between the Gus and the Qis, advancing mutually would be a guarantee.

Both were of equal importance. He really did not know what Kim Joon was up to!
