Lisa's gaze did not change. Instead, he glared at him sharply. In the end, his gaze stayed on his empty ring finger.
Moonbyul looked over without realizing what was wrong, and Haruto started laughing on his own.
Lisa put one hand on his forehead helplessly as he said, "You'd better not go back so early today. Head over to Imperial Sky Jewellery City and pick a ring for her. You can't mistreat your woman no matter how stingy you are."
Moonbyul's face blushed slightly and he coughed lightly. "I'm not being stingy. I just wanted to wait for a good time to pick out a ring. Damn it, we've been buddies for decades! Do I look like a stingy man to you?" Anger was his way of hiding his embarrassment.
"Pretty much!" Lisa gave a swift reply.
The chauffeur stopped the car and reminded, "Master Lee, we've arrived at the junction."
Moonbyul punched Lisa in embarrassment before getting out of the car while mumbling, "You bastard! I've been so worried about you in the past week, you little..."
Lisa just smiled as he reminded, "Don't forget about this weekend. I'll call Seulgi. Bring Solar over."
Moonbyul waved his hand angrily before heading towards his office. His office was just right around the corner, so it was a short walk.
The fact that he was married had not really settled in yet, especially when he got really busy. After being married for around half a month, he got really busy because of work and Lisa's matters. Most of the time, it would already be past midnight when he returned home and Solar would be asleep, but she would usually leave some food for him, much to his appreciation.
Chen Ling was sick several days ago, so Solar had gone back to take care of her. He did not know when she would return since they only had a short conversation on the phone last night.
On the way back to his office, Moonbyul decided to take things slow. He would only bring Solar back to the Lee residence next week. His family knew what had happened to Lisa, so they did not bother him lately, and it was a blissful period for him. However, he felt it was appropriate to have his parents meet his wife since they were already married.
He soon arrived before his station and swiftly walked into his office.
Before Moonbyul could have anything to drink, Secretary He came up to him and handed him a document. "Chief Lee, these are the promotional materials from the headquarters. The Head Chief wants you to do the TV promotion."
Moonbyul raised his eyebrows and flipped through it, not sounding very pleased. "Why me? Let that peacock in the west of the city do it. I'm not going!"
He was not interested in things like this. In contrast, the Deputy Chief in the west was much more interested and would welcome it every day.
Secretary He was helpless against his superior's attitude, so he started trying to convince him, "Chief Lee, why don't you go for once? Make our station proud! I know you don't care, but you should consider our feelings when only Chief Du gets seen on TV, Chief Lee! Chief Huang at the headquarters said—"
Secretary He cleared his throat as he mimicked Chief Huang's tone, "It's an important show. We need someone with a good image to attend. With a build like yours, don't go and embarrass yourself. You are representing our bureau as a whole! Let Deputy Chief Lee from the north go. He's young and handsome. I bet he can charm all the women even without saying anything! That's it! Case closed!
"Chief Huang actually mentioned you specifically! If you attended it, you'd be the star in our bureau!"
Secretary He shot Moonbyul a glance full of expectations, yet the latter was frowning.
"What? Do I look like I'm a model? Are you guys done with the promotional articles? Have you guys gone to observe the civilians? Is the report on the public opinion done? Don't always think about those useless things. If anyone wants me to go, ask him to go instead!" Moonbyul ranted in frustration.
In shock, Secretary He quickly nodded and replied, "Yes! You're right, Chief Lee!"
"Shut up! Go and get me a cup of tea! I'll fire you if you bug me about this again! Go and call that peacock in the west. Tell him to take this document and say Chief Huang told him to do so. Chop-chop!" Moonbyul threw the document onto the table.
Pa!
The loud sound shocked Secretary He who nodded quickly. "Yes, Chief Lee!" He was too afraid to say anything, so he quickly grabbed the document and fled from Moonbyul's office.
Moonbyul's frown softened a little when he heard the sound of the door closing.
He was one of the fastest rising officers in recent years. His career after leaving the army had been smooth sailing. Being in his position at such a young age was not easy, so a lot of people were not impressed. Many people assumed he only reached where he was today because of his background, but only Moonbyul himself knew what he was capable of. He was one of the most proficient officers as he spent a lot of time familiarizing himself with all the different kinds of work in the bureau.
He actually did not want to leave the army back then, but his family did not want him to disappear all the time. Moreover, Lisa and Seulgi had already left the army as well, so he felt that there was no point staying anymore, hence he left. He thought his current career would be easier, but he became even busier than when he was in the army!
The things he did in the army were mostly testing and training, but what about now?
Moonbyul felt exhausted just thinking about it. He pinched the space between his eyebrows and grabbed the document in front of him.
