Jungkook was obviously shocked. He turned around to look at Lisa.

She didn’t want to interrupt him while he was on the phone, so she pointed at the bowl and mimicked eating with her spoon.

He didn’t move his eyes away from her, even after watching her for a while. He talked calmly on the phone as he ate slowly with the spoon.

Lisa lowered her head to eat her food. He suddenly reached his hand out and tapped on the table in front of her after she had only gotten the chance to take two bites.

She looked up at him in confusion. He listened to the person on the phone but didn’t respond to him. He only put his empty bowl in front of her.

She understood what he wanted. When she was ready to reach her hand out to the bowl to help him put more rice in it, the housekeeper, who had just finished baking dessert, walked out of the kitchen. When she saw this, she immediately walked over and whispered to Lisa, “Miss, I can do it.”

He turned around and gave her a dirty look before the housekeeper finished talking. The housekeeper’s hands trembled out of scare. She immediately pulled her hand back from grabbing the bowl from Lisa.

Although the housekeeper didn’t fully know about Jungkook’s temper, she could guess for the most part. She thought to herself, Mr. Jeon wanted Miss to serve him more rice. The housekeeper immediately made up a lame excuse of stomach cramps in order to leave the dining room quickly.

Lisa served him two bowls of rice and one bowl of soup before he called it the end of his dinner.

When the housekeeper cleaned up the dinner table, she thought to herself that Mr. Jeon must have liked Lisa enough to let her help him with other stuff if he liked her enough to have her serve his dinner. Mr. Jeon’s temper was not good, but he was actually pretty easy-going, as long as people did what he asked for. Everyone could have an easy life as long as Jungkook was in a good mood.

When the housekeeper went to the kitchen to do the dishes, she saw Lisa standing up from her chair, ready to leave the dining room. She asked, “Miss, can you remind Mr. Jeon to take his medicine and change the bandages on his wound?”

Lisa turned around to look at Jungkook. He had hung up his phone call. She didn’t turn down the housekeeper’s suggestion after hearing it.

She nodded at the housekeeper and said, “I’ve got it.”

Jungkook didn’t go back to the company until the stitches were taken out.

Xiaowang came to the house everyday. Every time he came, he carried a big stack of file folders with him and left with a big stack, too.

The housekeeper gave the tasks of serving Jungkook’s dinner, reminding him to take his pills, and applying medicine on his wound to Lisa after that night.

The second day after he was hurt, Lisa wanted to apply medicine on his wound, but he had an urgent meeting to go to, so he asked her to wait for a while.

After the meeting, it was already ten o’clock. Lisa was memorizing her lines for a show in the master bedroom. Jungkook didn’t leave the bedroom after he walked in and changed the medicine for his wound.

She was worried, since she had to help him a lot and sleep in the same bed as him. She was afraid of pissing him off at some point.

For the past few days, he hadn’t initiated any conversations with her, nor had he touched her when they were in bed. It seemed that she was invisible to him. He was cold to her most of the time, but he never lost his temper at her.
