The three of them busied themselves until nine or ten o’clock before they were ready to go to bed. Jennie first went into the bathroom to wash up, leaving Soyeon and Lisa behind. Lisa crossed her arms and half-lay on the table to look at Soyeon’s side profile.
“Sister Xu, you look so pretty when you smile. Why don’t you like to smile?”
Ever since Lisa first saw Soyeon in the bathroom, Soyeon had never changed her style. She always wore gold-rimmed glasses, wore her hair in a long ponytail, and wore a professional suit. She never smiled.
Soyeon glanced at Lisa without saying a word. She continued with her work. She was dead-set on avenging herself for the humiliation she suffered last time. She was going to humiliate the Deputy General Manager like how he humiliated her.
Seeing that Soyeon was ignoring her, Lisa stuck out her tongue and checked her phone to see if there were any new messages.
There was a message from Jisoo asking why she had suddenly returned the money? Did she still have money on her hands? If not, she would rather get paid back later.
Lisa thought about it and replied with a smiley face, adding that it was Jungkook who had given her the money.
[Jungkook actually gave you money!!!]
Jisoo replied very quickly. Three exclamation marks in a row showed how shocked she was.
[Yes! Jungkook said that his friend returned the money that he had borrowed from him, so he transferred the money to me. He said that it was for me to buy things in Jing City.]
Jisoo quickly sent a shocked emoji followed by a sentence.
[He has friends? How much money did he send you? ]
Lisa was unhappy when she saw this. Why was it shocking that Jungkook had friends? She replied with an angry emoji. Lisa continued, “He sent me 20,000 yuan. His friend must have returned all the money he had back to him.”
Jisoo didn’t reply for a long time. After a while, Lisa’s phone vibrated.
“Tsk, I didn’t expect Jungkook to miss you so much.”
“Of course, he’s my husband.”
[So what if you have a husband? I’ll have one in the future too. I’ll get him to transfer money to me and buy things for me.]
[Get a husband before saying so much!]
Lisa kept undermining Jisoo, so Jisoo sent a bunch of angry expressions every time she replied.
Finally, Jisoo ended their conversation with one sentence.
[Alright! Enjoy your shopping trip in Jing City!]
“What shopping trip? I’m here to work!”
Jisoo didn’t reply after that. It seemed that she was done with Lisa for the night.
After Jennie washed up, Lisa let Soyeon go wash up next. She was the last one to go.
As she swiped her phone screen, Lisa’s gaze stopped at the message of Jungkook transferring money to her. She thought of the question from before again. How long was she going to lie to Jungkook?
“Lisa, what are you looking at?” Jennie walked to Lisa’s side and asked.
Lisa did not avoid the question and showed her the screen.
“Why do you make me pity myself so much right before bed?”
Jennie’s statement made Lisa laugh. She patted her head and said, “Go to bed quickly. We have to get up early to work tomorrow.”
“Okay! Sigh, I hope I’ll dream of my Prince Charming tonight.”
Hearing Lisa’s words, Jennie lay on the bed and soon began to snore.
The bathroom door opened and closed, and Soyeon walked out as well.
This was the first time Lisa saw Soyeon with her long hair down. She was not wearing glasses, nor was she wearing a set of old-fashioned clothes. Soyeon’s sweet beauty amazed even a girl like her.
Lisa had always found Soyeon beautiful, but she did not expect Soyeon to actually be much more beautiful that she had thought.
“Sister... Sister Xu?” Lisa stuttered.
Soyeon turned her head and looked at her in confusion.
“Sister Xu, you are really pretty.”
Lisa could tell that Soyeon was annoyed when she heard her words. She looked like she wanted to roll her eyes.
“Go wash up.”
Soyeon’s voice was very cold. Lisa quickly went into the bathroom.
...
The sudden silence made Lisa feel a little uncomfortable.
She glanced at her phone, the screen was still on the page where she and Jungkook were chatting.
Suddenly, Lisa really wanted nothing but to hear his voice.
