Jungkook was not there when Lisa returned home. Looking at the time, it was already too late to prepare dinner.

Although she had verbally agreed to go with Kai, Lisa was still reluctant.

Kai did not seem to be faking his weak appearance when he was talking to her in the day. Furthermore, it was impossible for his injuries to have healed so quickly. What could he possibly do to her in his condition?

Gathering her courage, Lisa hurriedly changed her clothes, left a note, and left.

She took a taxi to the hotel that Kai told her to meet him at. After meeting up with him, Lisa maintained a long distance from Kai.

Although she was certain that Kai couldn't do anything to her in his current state, when she thought about the dirty thoughts he had towards her, Lisa still felt uncomfortable.

Not long after, the door of a private dining room in the Chinese restaurant was pushed open by two foreigners.

Lisa let out a long sigh of relief. She braced herself and communicated with the two of them in fluent English. Lisa was very fluent in English and had perfect pronunciation. This was also the reason why Kai had chosen to bring Lisa along besides her beauty.

As the clients' company was a multinational business, the order that they wanted to place was nowhere near small. A few more days of discussion and negotiation was needed before the deal could be sealed.

Singh Hotel was a very famous hotel in the city. Their Chinese food was very popular as well. Since the clients were staying in another hotel, After their dinner, Lisa followed Kai to send them to the door.

Before they left, a man praised Lisa to Kai, and the affirmation from the client made Lisa Smile. However, what Lisa didn't notice was that when the man shook hands with Kai, he stuffed a different business card into Kai's hand.

Taehyung , who had come downstairs to eat saw a familiar figure and followed her quietly.

"Damn! It's really Lisa!" Taehyung cursed in a low voice.

"Why is she dressed so nicely? A date? No, the person next to her seems a little familiar!"

Taehyung took out his phone and dialled a number without looking at it.

"Hey, Jeon Jungkook, your wife is going to elope with someone!"

"What?" Jungkook, who was reading the note Lisa left for him, frowned.

Taehyung was not afraid to tease him further. "I see Lisa standing with a man! Oh my, there are three men."

Jungkook replied, "Shut up, she's going to talk about business. Taehyung , if you have nothing better to do, would you like me to call Uncle to give you something to do?"

"No, no, Brother Jeon, I was just joking. Why did you have to take me seriously?" Taehyung smiled cheekily to remedy himself. "Brother Jeon, how did you know that Lisa was here to talk about business?" "She left..."

"Damn! The one standing next to Lisa is Kai!"

"Kai?" Jungkook asked back.

Taehyung quickly said, "The one who flirted with Lisa and got beaten up by me! How dare he still talk to her! Fuck, I'm getting upset!"

Jungkook interrupted Taehyung 's chattering, "You don't have to do anything. Send me the address."

"Brother Jeon, are you coming over? Like Romeo saving his damsel in distress? I say..."

Before Taehyung could finish, a familiar annoyed tone came from the phone.

After sending the clients away, Lisa wanted to go straight home. However, Kai told her to immediately work on the clients' request.

After some hesitation, Lisa went back to the private dining room with him. She opened the door and sat on the seat closest to the door.

"Lisa! Do you remember all the requests they made?"

"I do," Lisa replied casually as she was concentrating on writing down things.

Kai, who was sitting across from Lisa, picked up his wine glass and took a big gulp. His gaze lingered on Lisa's chest. Without anyone else present, his gaze on Lisa became even more impudent.

"You've been in the company for quite some time now. How do you feel about the company?"

Lisa did not want to bother with him, but Kai's constant gaze made her very uncomfortable. She had no choice but to entertain his question.

"It's alright."

"You're lucky. You've only been with the company for a short while and you can already work on projects alone. Sigh, it's really hard to earn money these days..."

Kai rambled on and on. Lisa picked up her fruit juice and took a sip. She relaxed her mind and immersed herself in her work, fully ignoring Kai.

After another ten minutes, Lisa was done.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in her ear.

"Lisa."

Lisa stood up abruptly and retreated, wanting to run away, but Kai closed the door.

Looking at Kai who was sitting next to her, Lisa calmed herself down and said, "Supervisor Zhou, my work is done. You can take a look," Lisa said to Kai.

She slowly retreated, wanting to retreat to the door and open it to escape.

Unfortunately, why would Kai let her go now? He had been waiting for tonight.

Kai got up and approached Lisa step by step. Lisa was also retreating towards the door.

Lisa pushed the door, but it did not open.

"Stop struggling. I have already locked the door."
