Chapter 20 — It was Jeon Jungkook who killed her.Lisa stared blankly at the name 'Jeon Jisoo. '
Jeon was not a common surname. Those two words seemed to validate her conjecture of sorts. The report only gave Jeon Jisoo's age, however, and not much else.She kept staring at the webpage for quite a while before she turned off her computer and headed straight to bed.
Could it be that this was the shadow in CEO Jeon's childhood?Lisa turned over, her brows puckered. The crime occurred exactly fifteen years ago on this very day, which meant—today was Jeon Jisoo's death anniversary.
She grabbed her phone from beside the pillow and subconsciously scrolled down to Jungkook's number.The message history only showed two messages, each one sent by Jeon Jeongguk. Her fingers twitched above the call button. In the end, she stowed her phone away.
Even if Jeon Jisoo and Jeon Jungkook actually had some kind of relationship, she was not in any position to get involved.
She indulged in her flights of fancy for a spell before actually falling asleep, until a brief series of knocks woke her up. She sat up with the blanket pooling around her and ruffled her long hair, thinking to herself that it must be Rosè coming back drunk from wine to the point where she couldn't find the keyhole to open the door.
The knocking continued as Lisa climbed out of bed, put on slippers, and walked over. "Coming! Drink less since your alcohol tolerance is no good!"
The moment she opened the door, Lisa was struck dumb.For several seconds, she opened and closed her mouth. Eventually, she whispered, "Mister...Jeon?"
Although the man at the door wore a well-ironed suit, his jacket was casually opened wide, his black tie loosened so that the knot rested against his collarbone. Several buttons on his white shirt was also undone.Jungkook probably wouldn't allow himself to appear like this in front of others.
Jeongguk perked up and flashed a beautiful smile at her, though his smile unexpectedly held a trace of fatigue."Sweetheart, luckily, you're home. "
His sigh seemed a bit worried, deeply worried, but it was more like a sigh of relief from gaining a new lease on life after a calamity. Lisa gazed at him for a while, forgetting to reply. Jeongguk propped himself against the doorframe with one hand, an unfathomable look in his eyes.
"You turned off your phone. The restaurant said you were on vacation today, and I didn't know where to find you. "
Lisa froze. A moment later, she regained her ability to speak normally.
"Ah, my phone might be dead. I saw just a moment ago that the battery level was already red. "
She paused before asking, "What did you want to find me for? Jeongguk, how did you know where I live?"
Jeongguk chuckled lightly at her. "Did you forget? I saw you through the window last time. " He took a step forward then, and his body encroached slightly into Lisa's personal space. "Are you really not going to invite me in to take a seat?"
This question caused Tang Lisa to mentally panic. Normally, she would never hastily allow a man to come in, but Yu Xin seemed to be a bit unusual. She could not lock the door and refuse to see him.
She turned her body to allow him inside. Jeongguk furrowed his brows slightly at this. "Sweetheart, your safety awareness is too weak. In the future, do not allow people to enter so casually. Even more, you should not allow strangers inside. "
Tang Mi: "..."
Her lips tugged downward. She wanted to say something, but then Jeongguk added,
"Of course, I'm an exception. "
