MR. Jeon, The Heart Bandit | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 119

It seemed that she would have to drink.

Refusing directly was not giving face, and not knowing what's good for herself.

Moreover, this was the first time she has dinner with other KBS employees.

"Alright", Lisa accepted and stood up to take one of the beers, but Jisoo protested.

She tugged at her sleeve, shaking her head and whispered, "No, Lili, you can't drink! That's...."

Someone who clearly had sharp ears interrupted them then, "What do you mean, can't drink? There's so many people here. What can we do to her?"

The others chorused. "That's right, we can't do anything to her!"

Lisa knew that Jungkook told her not to drink, but having one or two wouldn't hurt. Furthermore, she should give face since there were many around them watching.

It wouldn't be nice of her to refuse.

Lisa clapped Jisoo's shoulder and accepted Oh Sehun's drink, downing it in one go.

Everyone around them promptly broke into applause, and Lee Taeyong offered her another beer, "Here, Miss Lisa cheers".

Lisa waved him off and sat, showing her refusal.

Lee Taeyong's face fell slightly, "Lisa, You already had one. Two wouldn't differ too much, come drink up".

"One is my limit", she calmly replied. "I'm allergic to alcohol".

Someone spoke nonchalantly then, "It will be fine! drink as mush as you can there's a hospital next door, we'll take you there if you really couldn't stand it".

Are people so shameless in urging others to drink nowadays?

Being mildly sensitive to alcohol, and later finding the alcohol content on the higher side after that one drink as well as having downed it in one go, Lisa felt little dazed and that her face was burning.

That damned Oh Sehun fooled her!

Nonetheless, some amongst the crowd was getting upset, "Miss Lisa, we're simply giving you a heartfelt welcome. Can't you spare some face?"

"That's right! Our great assistant manger Lee is left hanging for so long. You shouldn't embarrass him!"

How insufferable!

Enraged, Jisoo yelled loudly at the crowd. "What, you lot can't be satisfied until she's hospitalized? Don't you know how dangerous it is for someone allergic to drink!? I'm telling you, all of you are accomplices if anything happens to Lili. None of you get off scot-free! Do you think you would still have a job then? Hell no all of you are going to prison!"

Lisa promptly became Jisoo's fan once more. "Jisooyaaa, you're so cool!"

The crowd was left silent after she spoke, with Lee Taeyong awkwardly returning to his seat.

However, after a few seconds of silence in the private box, a woman dressed flamboyantly said darkly, "That's right, Our miss Lisa is very important to our President Jeon. I advise you all not to cross her".

"True! President Jeon treasure her so much he did not even give her a status". Another woman wearing bright red lips exclaimed, covering a smile of schadenfreude. "That's what I'm saying, the saddest thing for ladies is not only lacking status, but also being treated like a pet with an expiry date!"

The jealous woman promptly killed off the lively mood in the private box.

Although a little dazed, Lisa was still sober enough, but she felt a breeze behind her just as she was about to speak.
