The Heiress

Chapter 26

"Then let us give him back the necklace and elope!"

Chaeyoung spewed the juice that she was drinking down at Lisa's face.

Soaking the latter with her drinks.

"Oh... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry." She immediately grabs a handkerchief and wipes away the saturated liquid in Lisa's face. "You should not joke when we are having a serious conversation."

"I'm serious." Lisa answered. "Let's leave. Start a new life. Together. I have my company and you have yours. We can live away fro..."

"Okay stop... Stop talking about that. I... Don't worry I will convince your father to let you marry me" She consoled Lisa. She can feel Lisa's panic from her voice.

If the worst comes to worst then she can always woo Lisa to show that she is also sincere right?

However, just thinking about it made Chaeyoung nervous.

What is this situation? Why does she have to convince Lisa's father to let Lisa marry her? Why does it seem like the role is reversed?

Seeing Chaeyoung's changing expression, Lisa gives her her boyish grin.

"I'm just kidding. My father likes you. He already knows your existence since I was nine."

"Nine?"

"Yes, I started dreaming about you after I had woken up from a coma when I was nine." Lisa explained.

"Oh..."

"So back to the topic. I will go away, and I want you to handle all of my investments as well as my own business while not in the country."

"Ahm... aren't you giving me too much trust? What you have is a multimillion company. That..."

"As my future wife, it will become your responsibility soon enough. This will serve as a drill. Like an internship."

"An internship? So you want me to become an...like an intern CEO? Isn't that... I never heard of that before." She responded while shaking her head.

"Yes. The main office of the Moon Publishing and Co. is at Daejeon. That is also the location of your university. So I was thinking maybe you can try and visit the company once in a while. My father will help you so no need to worry. You can just learn from him."

"Ah... Okay... You do realize that you are giving me too much trust right? I mean are you not afraid that I will cause massive destruction to your company?"

"Do what you want. I did name it after you for that reason." Lisa answered in a nonchalant way.

Chaeyoung can't help but roll her eyes at Lisa.

This woman is really peculiar. Her ways are just too... direct?

...

Jacob is already frantic. The board of directors already give their votes, and all of them agreed to have his brother manage the company instead of him.
