When a snail falls in love | Liskook

Chapter 11

Everybody soon realized that this man's eyes were on Lisa. That's why there were many who turned to her with curiosity. Lisa started to turn hot and coldly glanced at Jae. She hastily got off at the next stop. Of course, Jae followed after her. Seeing her cold, yet lightly blush face, Jae's mood became really good.

During the time after that, he kept following her like a shadow. She walked around the park while he found a bench to rest; his eyes still following her, not letting her out of his view. She got on the underground train; while he follows suit and used the affectionate look to stare at her in front of everyone. She got on a cab, and he quickly threw the driver $100 and got in the front seat and continued to look at Lisa through the car's rearview mirror.

At first, Lisa felt really uncomfortable and looked at him with killing eyes and coldly told him to go away. But Jae just kept on saying repetitively: "I want to have a meal with you."

In the end, Lisa decided to completely ignore him and focused on her task of investigating the crime scene.

It was already 10 PM when she reached the park. This park was already closed. Lisa took out her work's card telling the manager to open the gate for her. Jaehyun was about to follow in but she quickly told the manager: "I don't know him. Don't let anyone who doesn't have the authority to come in."

Seeing Jae's special aura, the manager politely told him to leave. He looked at the petite Lisa going in alone, and with a cold tone, he said: "You can't tell? She is my girlfriend."

While the manager is still indecisive about it, Lisa coldly said: "If you let him in, I will prosecute you for obstructing me from  working on the case."

That resulted in Jae being stopped outside the park.

Seeing that Lisa hasn't come out yet after a long wait. The park's manager curiously asked him: "Is that officer really your girlfriend?"

Jae replied in an uncaring tone: "Sooner or later, she will be my girlfriend."

The manager laughed. Jaehyun threw him a cigarette box, the two of them talked back and forth, then Jae went to find a chair to sit down while waiting at the gate.

Lisa walked out, and the manager winked at her. Following his eyes, Lisa found Jaehyun sitting a couple of steps away. He was leaning on the chair with closed eyes in place, just his chest was moving a little.

The sunlight softly shone down on him making him look like a sleeping statue. Lisa just got a new clue about the case causing her to be in a good mood. That's why she didn't find him as annoying like she did in the evening while watching Jae's sleeping face.

"Officer, it is really easy to catch a cold while sleeping in the cold weather like this. You should hurry to wake him up," the manager said.

Lisa glanced over at him once: "Good bye!" Then quickly walked to the underground train.

When Lisa was no longer in sight, Jae quickly opened his eyes and stood up to see where she was going thinking that this girl was really strong-minded. Wasn't she an officer? Even if they were a stranger, shouldn't she feel some kind of sympathy seeing someone sleeping on the streets?

Not bothering about the teasing eyes from the manager, Jae zipped up his jacket and stood up.thinking it's really cold!

The next day...

Jae really did get a cold. He was already sneezing first thing in the morning. His mind was blurry. His face looked really bad when he got to the company.

Seeing the "little prince's" heavy face, everyone knew to keep a distance. With quiescence, Jaehyun slept the whole morning in his office. Having slept until the afternoon, he woke up feeling a lot better.

Nobody in the company really grasped his personality.

The Jung family had established the Jung corporation which contained a lot of small companies like XDLT, VTLT, DTLT. The current chairman of the company's shareholder was Jung Lan. Jung Jaehyun was his youngest son who just returned from studying overseas and currently held the CEO position of DTLT.

Jaehyun was really friendly and never showed off, even smiled to the cleaning staff lady. However, he was very strict when it comes to work. Anyone who didn't meets his standards got terminated right away.

His personal assistant often told him that he could do that because this person was his brother's high school friend and that person was the chairman of shareholders' old assistant. Jae just said: "Okay, I know."

However, he still didn't change his decision no matter who pleaded. Jung Lan got mad once saying that this was a family business and relations were tangled. What he was doing would affect the root. Jae calmly answered: "Do you know why a large portion of family business died? Please let me do it my way since you already placed me in charge."

On the investment part, Jaehyun took high risks. He invested a large sum to buy techniques from overseas. There were some investments which made a lot of money and some that lost a lot too. Overall, summing up the previous years of investments, he made more than a loss, and DTLT could be said to be improving like a tornado.

Jae was not close with his older siblings because his age was quite far from his older brothers and sisters while staying overseas since he was young. However, he was really close with his older cousin Jisoo, the person who studied overseas with him for a couple of years.

In the afternoon that day...

Jae was eating the lunch prepared by his personal assistant. A call came from Jisoo.

"What happened yesterday when you went to stop someone on the street? What was the consequence of that?" Jisoo seemed to be smiling brightly.

Jaehyun furrowed his eyebrows: "You aren't asking about the result, but the consequence of it. That means you already guessed that I would get rejected? Congratulations, you guessed right! She didn't even bother to look at me once."

Jisoo laughed then said in a serious tone: "She is completely different than any of your past girlfriends."

Jae agreed: "You're right."

Jisoo didn't continue on this topic any longer and was about to ask about work when she heard Jae say: "You should help me think of a way. Didn't she accept your meals everyday?"

Jisoo laughed: "That's different because you have an ulterior motive."

"You are that heartless to let your savior slip the chance to find a great man like me?"

Jisoo laughed, pondered then replied: "I'll show you another way. Lisa has an older brother who opened an accounting firm. You've met him before when he came for the company's auction."

Jaehyun furrowed his brows: " Kim Mingyu? "

"Right."

"Has the company made the decision to work with him?"

"Almost." Jisoo replied: "His company is the best company in the TN area."

Jaehyun suddenly smiled: "I do have a little impression of him. He was really strange; I didn't think that his sister had the same personality too."

Jisoo just laughed.

After hanging up the phone, Jae thought for a while, then called for his personal assistant: "I heard there was an accounting firm that was about to work with us. That firm is not bad; I want you to call to make an appointment with the CEO for a meal. And all of our company's documents should also be organized a little bit."
