After Jisoo finished the business call, she led her boyfriend and the ladies to the recently finished restaurant inside the company. If Jennie didn't insist on building it, Jisoo would never have approved such an expensive project.

In her opinion, the cafeteria was good enough but Jennie wanted a more high-end service for everyone working in the company. Now that the restaurant is completed, Jisoo had to admit that it was indeed a good investment. The employees' happiness and satisfaction levels were at an all-time high which was always good news.

It was still early for dinner so the group only ordered some light snacks. While chatting, Jisoo noticed a subtle change in Jiyong's expression. She was only able to detect it because of their intimate relationship. The others didn't notice anything amiss at all.

Then he frowned.

"What's wrong?" she asked in a whisper.

He didn't reply but instead fished out his phone and checked something on the internet. She took a peek and gasped.

"What happened?" AJ Zheneres asked.

The others stopped talking and looked at the couple, wondering what caused such a reaction from Jisoo. They became confused when she looked at Ashandra Knightson and her eyes immediately watered.

Jiyong handed his phone to AJ and proceeded to embrace Jisoo in full view of the employees.

"Don't cry," he murmured. "It's nothing but fake news."

"I know that. But I still can't stop myself from...." She bit her lower lip.

"Feeling jealous?"

Her lips trembled. She blinked her watery eyes at him and nodded.

He lowered his head and whispered directly to her ear, "Don't worry. I'm not interested in Ashandra at all."

"But she's beautiful."

"You're more beautiful than her in my eyes. It's you I want to keep on fucking, not her or any other woman."

Her entire skin turned red but she still smiled shyly, pleased and comforted by his reassuring words.

Meanwhile, AJ was trying to figure out how to turn on the automatic English translation on Jiyong's phone because the articles were written in local dialect. Finally, she was able to figure it out and began reading. The others crowded around her to take a look as well. Even without reading, the photos were enough to make them understand what made Jisoo upset.

"Oh no." Ashandra looked upset as well and then angry. Then she gave an apologetic look to Jisoo. "I'm sorry about this. It doesn't always happen but when people recognize me, there will be paparazzi following me wherever I go and creating all sorts of rumours about me. That's why I prefer staying in the academy. Please don't mind it, Jisoo. Your Jiyong is not my type."

"You're not my type either," Jiyong told her.

Ashandra chuckled. "Touché." Then she turned to Jisoo again. "I've been linked to so many different men that I already lost count. I don't even know most of the men they're linking to me. This kind of thing happens so often that I've grown numb to them. Furious girlfriends and wives even confronted me and tried to rip all the hair out of my head because of those fake stories. I hope that we don't come to that point. I really like you not just because you're Ruby's sister but because you're a good person who I want to continue being friends with."

Jisoo smiled at her. "Don't worry, Ashandra. I'm not upset with you at all but at the fake stories online. I also like being friends with you. Also rest assured that I won't try to rip your hair from your head. Your hair is safe from me."

The others laughed. Even the corners of Jiyong's mouth lifted in a barely discernible smile.

After AJ returned Jiyong's phone, he stood up and excused himself, telling them that he was going to make a call. Jisoo knew that he was going to take action for the fake news stories.

In an empty corner at the restaurant, Jiyong tapped on his hidden earpiece.

"Delete all those fucking photos and articles," he commanded.

"Understood, Uncle," Luka's voice replied.

"Let ShaWn handle that task. I want you to trace the motherfucker who took those photos and wrote the fake stories. Don't leave the ones who spread them either. I want everyone involved to pay for upsetting my woman."

"Luka will do it, Uncle. But just a reminder that this is extra work that is outside the scope of what I signed up for in my freelance employment contract. Uncle needs to pay—"

"I'll fucking pay you, you little moneygrubber, so just do it!"

"Luka thanks Uncle Jiyong. Still, my feelings are hurt from your cursing. Luka will ask Father later to demand compensation—"

"I know already," Jiyong growled. "I'll pay whatever compensation you want so just hurry the hell up!"

"Understood, Uncle."

The black cat AI was fast. Not even a minute later, he already traced the culprits.

"Uncle, Luka sent all the information to your phone. Please check."

Jiyong grunted and immediately read the results on his phone. His eyes flashed with viciousness. He gave commands to his subordinates to deal with the paparazzo who was still chilling in the neighbouring building. As for the other people involved, including the editors-in-chief who approved the headlines in the various news platforms, and even the netizens who fueled the fire, he gave additional commands to both Luka and ShaWn.

He was about to return to his woman and the others when Luka's voice called him.

"Uncle Jiyong."

"Hm? What is it?"

"Luka is now stronger and has acquired a new ability. I want to try it out. May I?"

Jiyong raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What ability?"

Luka started explaining something called a power flood. Jiyong is a smart man but he still couldn't fully understand what the hell his AI nephew was saying. When he heard the phrase "world destruction", he didn't think too much of it because he was already used to the little devil spouting such a threat every time Maria's safety was endangered.

In the end, he just said, "Just do whatever it is that you're talking about."

For the first time ever, Jiyong heard Luka laugh. And for some reason, it sent a chill up his spine.
