"Pass the phone to your mother"

"Are you Jeon Jungkook?" Soobin's eyes overflowed with delight.

"I am" Jungkook's voice was very cold he was reluctant to speak too much with the boy.

Because a fire of envy had ignited wildly inside him.

A smile spread over the tot's lips. "Okay please wait for a moment"

The young boy had already noted down that phone number.

Meanwhile, Lisa had left the bathroom wrapped in a towel. "Who is it, baby?"

"Here" The tot handed him the phone "He's Jeon Jungkook"

On the other side of the call, Jungkook was taken aback when he heard Lisa called her son 'baby'.

So, it was her son? And not some other man?

The fiery rage he was holding back vaporized immediately.

On the other hand, Lisa's voice was rather cool as she took the call with a little anger herself. "Hello?"

Jungkook laughed softly: "Are you angry?"

"Just say what you need to say, President Jeon. I'm going to bed"

"Everyone gets a day off tomorrow"

"I know," Lisa replied very quickly she could not wait to hung up.

Jungkook's brow furrowed anew. What was with that attitude of hers?

Was she that annoyed with him?

How unreasonable!

"You are to be present in the engagement ceremony tomorrow" There was an unquestionable command in Jungkook's voice.

Why would he not resist the urge to see her envious face?

"May I decline President Jeon?"

"No"

"Why?"

"Because it's a breach of agreement if you refuse", Jungkook replied as if it was most natural. "You would have to pay a hundred million in recompense"

For the first time, Lisa found utterly shameless. "President Jeon, I will sue you at the Price Bureau. Believe it!"

She was aware that characters like him held great authority. That agreements were no different from furniture and arranged according to their mood.

It is a breach of agreement if he say so, and there was no nitpicking.

But that reimbursement was simply astronomical!

"Threatening your superior? Hmmmm?"

Goodness. As his last note lifted, there was a faint magnetism of charm.

Just as there was a significant sense of danger.

Lisa was so frustrated she would have smashed the phone to the floor. Closing her eyes, she seethed, "Fine, I will be there on time tomorrow"

Jungkook was very satisfied. After he hung up, Lisa raised her phone overhead, about to break it into pieces.

The tot quickly held her thigh. "Mommy calm down! What did the phone do wrong?"

Oh, right. The phone did nothing wrong but almost suffered an innocent death.

Jisoo, who had been binge watching some drama from the couch like some lifeless hog sprung up like a crap once she heard that Lisa would join the engagement ceremony tomorrow.

"Oh, yeah! We are all going tomorrow!"

"I'm going alone, You stay here with my son"

Lisa swore on her life he would never let her son be cursed at.

Jisoo turned listless at once and burst into a tirade of complaints. "Lili, you have to think about it; Soobin is growing and you cannot keep hiding. I know what you're thinking, but Soobin would go to school sooner or later and show his face what would you do then?"

Those words left Lisa at a loss

It was true. What would she do when the time comes?

Lisa settled into the couch and gently stroke her little man's head. "I'll find him a daddy before that"

"Lili forget it. You know better than me that it's just not likely. That said, even if you couldn't change Soobin's birth, all you have to do is mold him bastard illegitimate child or whatnot, let them talk. Our Soobin will definitely become a real, upright man, so why should he care about all those slandering? What's most important for you to do is groom him into star, and when he succeeds everyone would acknowledge you as a strong and independent single mother!"

Lisa was actually moved by Jisoo's eloquent advice.

"Kim Jisoo. Never knew that you had that in you"

"Hmm!" Jisoo proudly put her hand on her hips. "I'm definitely amazing it's just that I'm usually discreet"

As Lisa watched her son's little face, she resolved herself. "Alright, we'll all go tomorrow"'

"Oh, yeah!" Jisoo was happy as a lark.

On the other hand, the little boy appeared none too pleased. Cradled in Lisa's bosom, he began to scheme.....
