Ch 14 Exposure

Chapter 14: Exposure – I'll leave if you kiss me.

Jeongguk firmly held He Eunha's arm up in the air.
Presumably because of his bold entrance, the whole restaurant went quiet, everyone was either shocked or looking at him in admiration.

Lisa the only one who was on the verge of tears.
Oh my god it's Jeon Jeongguk! Why is he at the restaurant?! If people find out, that's it!
He Eunha recognised the man in front of her- the King of Gourmet, the man much sought after by the media, Jeon Zhi's executive CEO.

However, he somehow seemed a little different from the rumours?
She wanted to take back her hand. Slightly frowning from the pain in her wrist, she said, "Mr. Jeon, you're hurting me. "
Jeongguk smiled as he let go of her. "If your palm had reached its target, it would've hurt more than this. "

Eunha pursed her lips, she couldn't find any rebuttal to flip the script to her advantage. Furthermore, she couldn't quite understand why the dignified CEO of Jeon Zhi would suddenly make an appearance here. In fact, what did he call Tang Lisa just then? Sweetheart?

Jeongguk examined her, suddenly coming to a revelation. "I recognise you, you're the person who opened a bakery with Lin Eunwoo. Well, why don't you tell him my restaurant doesn't welcome him, and not to visit again. "

Eunha was slightly confused for a second, and so were the rest of the customers in the restaurant. Jeongguk stared at He Eunha, he said with a slight warning in his tone, "You too, if you cause trouble again next time, I won't be so polite"

The whole restaurant was focused on the nickname "sweetheart", Jeongguk turned to look at Lisa. Just as he was about to say something, Lisa shouted out, "CEO Jeon!".

Jeongguk paused, allowing Lisa to take advantage of the moment of silence. "Are you here for the newly released cake? Ah, I'm still contemplating some of the details, let's discuss them outside!"
After she said that, she dragged Jeongguk out of the restaurant and completely ignored He Eunha.

Jeongguk's car was just parked on the street, Tang Lisa pushed him into the car and demanded,

"Drive!"

Jeongguk raised his brows at her, but nonetheless followed her command and started up the engine.
After driving for a while, they stopped at a nearby, small garden. Lisa leaned back into her seat and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

Jeongguk had one hand gripping the steering wheel and turned his body to face her. "What's up with that woman?"
Lisa: "Oh, she's probably gone mad, don't worry about her. But what about to you, why did you suddenly come to the restaurant?"

Jeongguk gave a dry smile. "Why can't I go to the restaurant? Am I that terrible to look at?"
"Um, I didn't mean it that way.... " Lisa tried her hardest to form coherent sentences. "I was just a bit worried, if other people found out about you, especially the media, they might write you off as a maniac! If that happens and the restaurant is forced to close down, I'll end up sleeping under a bridge!"

Jeongguk's eyebrow twitched. ".... The company won't fall that easily. "
"Don't think lightly of them, those reporters would do anything for attention. "
Jeongguk went silent.

"Alright"

He leaned closer to Lisa and chuckled, "Don't worry sweetheart, I won't let you sleep under a bridge. "
Lisa felt his warm breath on her face and subconsciously backed away a little.
Jeongguk laughed and sat up straight.

"What did Lin Eunwoo want with you yesterday? Did he want you to work for him?"
Stunned by the question, Lisa asked, "Did you come here just to ask that?"
"And also to kindly remind you of one thing: don't go transferring to other companies," he added.

Lisa paused for a moment. "Don't worry, even if I leave I won't go to Lin Eunwoo. No, no, no, I meant I would never try to leave. "
Lisa fixed her words after seeing Jeongguk's intense glare.

Jeongguk seemed satisfied by her reply, Lisa noticed his reaction and smiled at him. "Since the situation has been sorted out, how about you go back first?"　　。

This sentence seemed to upset Yu Xin again. He glanced at her and suddenly smiled.

"I'll go back if you kiss me. "

Lisa: ".... "

"If you don't kiss me, I'll go back to the restaurant"

Lisa kept silent.
She looked at Jeongguk with a conflicted expression, Jeongguk looking back at her calmly.
As Lisa entered an internal conflict, Jeongguk's phone began to ring. He looked at the screen; it was from Luo Jimin . Jeongguk pondered a little before picking up the phone. "What's the matter?"

"Jeon Jeongguk, are you going out? Our appointment with Doctor Kim is today. We're already here. "
Seemingly remembering something, Jeongguk's eyes brightened a bit, he spoke as his lips curled up, "I know, I'm coming right now. "

Hearing this, Lisa couldn't help but chuckle a bit, her mood brightened up.
Jeongguk put away his phone and looked at her regretfully.

"I'll let you go today, but next time I'll be collecting interest. "
Lisa's mouth twitched, with a cheeky smile she said,

"Have a safe trip home Mr. Jeon. "
Jeongguk lowered the window and looked at her. "So what about that woman from before..."

"Don't worry, I'll vaccinate her. "

Jeongguk: "..."

He smiled again and blew a kiss at her. "Honey, the new type of cake you mentioned, just send it to our main building, I'll notify the secretary. "

Lisa: "..."

....... Wait a minute, wasn't that just for an excuse?

"~~~~~~~"

".........................................."

This feels like a scam!

By the time she trekked back to the restaurant, He Eunha was already gone. However, there was an even bigger problem waiting for her.

Supervisor Yu pulled her away. "Speak, why did our CEO call you sweetheart?"
Lisa blinked innocently. "What do you mean? He calls everyone sweetheart, including you. "
Supervisor Yu thought about it, relaxed her eyebrows and said, "Huh is that it? But CEO doesn't feel like such a cheesy person. "

"Didn't you see how she was in over her head? He said it for her to hear. "
Supervisor Yu nodded, thinking that it made sense. "Don't you think our CEO looks dapper today? I thought I saw him smile. "

"Did he? I didn't see, you must have been hallucinating because you were too excited. "
Supervisor Yu's smile disappeared, Lisa quickly changed the topic. "Where did that woman go?"

"Oh, she got kicked out by the restaurant manager. "

Lisa gasped. "The restaurant manager found out already?"
Supervisor Yu rolled her eyes. "Even the CEO knows, who cares about the restaurant manager?. "

Lisa had nothing to say.
Supervisor Yu muttered some more before she left. The Head Chef crept over closer before saying, "I heard the lobby today was full of juicy stories?"
"Hehe, I'm sorry for inconveniencing everyone. "

Head chef waved his hand, feeling like he was missing out. "They said he was here to talk about the new cake?"

Lisa: ".......... "

The Head chef patted her shoulder, acting like a serious adult. "I know all the new cakes will go to the CEO for tasting, but you shouldn't have forgotten about the Restaurant Manager. "

"....... "

"But lucky for you, the Restaurant Manager has a big heart. The company called just now, they have an appointment booked for you to see CEO Jeon tomorrow, you can take the cake directly to him instead.

"....... "

Jeon Jeongguk you ... bastard!
