Life is Wife, Wife is Knife

LISA POV

We are all panicking, checking every models and the dresses that will be next behind the curtain to introduce and let the world witness my very own designs.

I am so nervous that I think I will be passing out any seconds from now. Every nerve in my body was shaking, so agitated to face the crowd.

I am very satisfied at my work, the fact that I spend whole night making everything just perfect. I even practice my speech, making all of deserving people would be mentioned, thanking them for helping me to get through all of this

This may not be the main event I am waiting for, but this is the moment where the real battle has just began. There is no turning back, this is my dream, for my son, for our future. And to make my Mother be proud of me.

I can't wait to say to my Mom that I may be lost my direction, but I made my dream come true. With Luke as my bonus

A tapped on my shoulder woke me up from daydreaming "Hey, look at them. Did you see all that smile?" Jeongyeon said pointing all the models, CEO's, stakeholders, investors, almost all the powerful person, they are smiling

"That means, they're loving our boss's hardwork. They're loving your work, the quality and uniqueness of your designs, probably thinking of who among them you will choose to be their next gorgeous designer in the planet. I'm so proud of you" she said. I almost teared up. I just pulled her into tight hug

"Thank you Yeon, thanks to all of you"

The dinner she asked went perfectly well. A request dinner followed by another dinner, and another and another. The last time we shared dinner together, I figured her feelings for me.

I didn't say anything to provoke her, to cause pain in her heart. I let her. But I did mentioned about how I am so focused to get my son back and have our new beginning life. I did mentioned that I'm still not open for another relationship as no matter how we look at it in every angle, I'm still married and, still not over yet with my current wife

"... Ms. Lalisa Manoban. Let's give her around of applause" the emcee called.

"That's our boss!"

"Go Lisa!"

"We're so proud of you!"

I gave them a big smile and inhale deeply assuming that I am the center of this event. I wanted to show the world how much I love where I am now and determine to conquer the fashion industry

I can't help but to smile and tear up as I'm slowly reaching my dreams. But then I remember, while speaking infront I don't know if its just hallucination or I saw Jennie with my son at the back... clapping.

When the man escorted me stepping down the stage, I immediately run at the back to prove that I am not mistaken. My heart beats madly

"Hey!" Joy jump on me and they hug me saying their congratulations

"Uhm.. Lisa, it's still early and I know you're starving already. Are you down at the restaurant nearby?" Jeongyeon asked, smiling proudly at me

"Sure" I said almost instantly. Maybe I'm just really that hungry to hallucinate

"Let's go-mmm" Karen's mouth was quickly covered by Joy's hand and smile awkwardly at me. Weird but I love them

"Uh, we forgot we still have to finish something" Joy said pushing Karen aside "Yeon take care of our boss, alright? Bye boss!" And they left, seems in a rush
