SECRET MARRIAGE - Book 1 [LK Adaptation]

67

Jungkook was just getting out of his room when he saw Lalisa almost falling. He immediately rushed towards her and caught her in his arms when he heard her wince in pain.

Stabilizing her on her feet, he grabbed her arms, "Lisa are you alright? "

Hearing a familiar voice, Lalisa calmed down and grabbed his arms for support, "Jungkook... it's you.. "

"Are you alright? Why are you looking so pale? What happened?" Jungkook asked looking all over her. She was sweating all over while her eye were half opened.

"I-is that your room?" Lalisa asked moaning in pain.

"Y-yeah...." Jungkook nodded ,"What happened? You are scaring me, Xiaolu? Are you hurt somewhere? Should I call a doctor? Where's Yang Mi? Weren't you in the dinner banquet?"

"Dinner banquet... Juice... drug... hot... pain..." Somehow Lalisa managed to answer Jungkook's question.

Grabbing her hand, Jungkook immediately took her inside the room and directly into the shower. "This will help..." he mumbled controlling his anger.

Lalisa nodded standing under the shower as the cold water poured all over her. Seeing her in pain, Jungkook clenched his jaw and quietly left from there.

These wicked people.... Trying to harm my Lisa. I won't leave them...

Taking his phone he messaged Yang Mi about Lalisa's whereabouts and then stood outside the washroom's door. "Lisa are you alright? Should I call a doctor? "

"No..." Lalisa groaned.

Taking off her gown, Lalisa bit her lips bearing the pain. The cold water was pouring all over her body, but it was no use. The pain was increasing and it was getting very uneasy.

Meanwhile at the hall,

Nobody realised that Lalisa and Xi Sooyoung were missing for a quite while. Yang Mi who was worried about Lalisa suddenly felt her phone vibrating.

Taking out her phone, she was horrified seeing the message. Clenching her fist in anger, she glarred at Li Yeri who was happily talking with one of the investors.

Soon the cake was brought as everybody gathered and sang the song for Director Ye. He smiled cutting the cake and thanking everybody.

The harmonious atmosphere was suddenly interupped when some shouts of knocking and banging were heard. They saw a huge group of reporters passing through the door.

Everybody was puzzled at the sudden commotion when a waiter rushed inside the hall. Director Ye stopped the waiter and he questioned, "What is going on?"

The waiter looked at the guest nervously, and he explained, "An actress of your flim is rumored to be inside the room with some investors. The reporters are here to catch them red-handed in the act"

Everybody gasped. What?

"Rubbish..." Director Ye yelled at the waiter" Who spread this fake rumour? Call your manager. I want to talk to him right now.... This is a private party, how did the reporters got to know about this? "

"Who is spreading this nonsense rumour? Call your manager... I want an explanation right now!!" Director Ye demanded.

The atmosphere became quite tensed as Director Ye was furious and the guest started to whisper too.

"Can these people have some shame? "

'Yeah, too ruin a good banquet like this, the manager should give us an explanation..."

"Who can spread this malicious rumour? All the actresses are present here, no wait... Lalisa isn't here? "

"Hush.... Do you know what are you talking about? How can Lalisa be involved in such scandal? Do you know who she is?"

Each and every word was clearly heard by everyone. Though they knew about Lalisa's background, but once a rumour is started some stupid people will talk about it.

Li Youbin was greatly angered and glarred at the people who talked any bad words about Lalisa. He wished that nothing happened to her and she is alright.

He was worried, not because he loved her but because she is his golden bird. How can he not care for her and his reputation?

"Miss Yang Mi where's my sister? Did something happened to her?" Li Yeri asked anxiously.

Yang Mi sneered inside her heart. Smiling she replied, "Miss Li doesn't need to worry about that. Lalisa was not feeling well so she left early..."

"Really? "

"Miss Li doesn't believe me?" Yang Mi asked raising her eyebrows. Li Yeri shook her head and sighed in relief, "If elder sister went home then it's fine. I was really worried about her... "

"I can see that...." Yang Mi nodded.

"Director Ye we should see, who dared to spread these malicious rumours about us." Li Yeri said to Director Ye.

Hearing her words, everyone nodded "Yes Director Ye, we should go there and see." Many people started saying those, leaving Director Ye no option but to head towards the reporters.

Li Yeri smirked at the result. This was what she wanted. Nobody knew she was the mastermind behind everything.

It was her who called Xi Sooyoung and helped her in ruining Lalisa's reputation as well as innocence. It was her who had bribed the waitress to pass at the perfect time with the glass of juice.

It was her who leaked this information to the reporters and helped them to get inside. This was the only way to get Lalisa out of the film.
