Married to the villain

Chapter 32: Massive surge in fans

******

By the end of the song, Lisa was gasping for breath, staring out into the audience.

The feeling of going all out on stage was just exhilarating! As expected, she still loved the stage.

Lisa smiled at the camera. This smile wasn't a perfunctory smile from that supermodels had been trained to tune in for the camera, like cogs falling into place, but a sincere smile from the heart. It wasn't picture-perfect, but it was infectious. People could easily feel Lisa's love for the stage. Many people looked at her and couldn't help but smile with her.

"Why did you help me just now?" After they got off the stage, Nancy stopped Lisa with a dark face. "Were you doing it out of pity?"

Lisa rolled her eyes. "Don't overcomplicate everything. I just didn't want this stage to be destroyed." After she finished speaking, she walked past Nancy and returned to the resting area.

This time, the naysayers she met along the way dared not meet her eyes.

"You were glorious, you lit the stage up!" In the dressing room, Annie gave her a hug.

Lisa was a little flattered. "I'll have to thank you and your teacher for that."

Annie seemed indiffierent. "It's fine. Jungkook paid us well."

The tip of Lisa's ears twitched. "You know Jungkook well?"

A hint of disdain flashed across Annie's eyes. "Who wants to know a massive iceberg like him? We just happened to be classmates for a while."

Lisa criticized her in her heart. Annie was not much different, in terms of ice-queen demeanors.

She happily took out her phone. "Why don't we add each other as good friends? We can chat when we're free." This way, she could indirectly learn more about Jungkook's school days.

After watching the live broadcast, Jungkook , who was buried in work again, suddenly shivered. He frowned and turned to Eunwoo. "Increase the temperature in the room."

At that moment, he had no idea that his embarrassing school days were about to be uncovered.

After ending her performance with a bang and making it to several trending lists, Lisa went home happily. She ended up in a cold, dark room.

"Where's Jungkook?" She searched the bedroom, the study, and the gym, but couldn't find Jungkook. She could only turn to Alice. "It's so late, is he still working overtime at the company?"

Alice was a little confused. "Didn't Sir go on a business trip?"

Lisa felt hurt for a second. "Why didn't you tell me that he had a business trip?"

Alice had no choice but to remind her. "Sir left you a note. It's on the bedside table next to the bedroom."

"Is that so? I didn't see it." Lisa blinked innocently. She had slept all the way until dawn and even went to the rehearsal room to practice a few songs. After that, she had been busy with her makeup and wardrobe, so she never noticed the note on the bedside table at all.

"What era is it now? He's still leaving notes. What's the use of his phone?" Lisa said, as she ran up to the second floor.

She did not know that Jungkook did not even intend to leave a note. After all, Lisa never cared about his existence, including his comings and goings. Only in the past few days did their relationship suddenly improve. Lisa seemed to have changed overnight. He was afraid that if Lisa woke up and couldn't find him, she would throw a tantrum again, so he left a note.

It was a brief, simple line: I'm going on a business trip abroad and will be back in three days.

"Hmph, wretched man, you can't even say that you'll miss me. You're so boring." Although Lisa uttered those displeased words, she still kept the note in the drawer.

She turned on her phone and sent Jungkook a message.

[Why didn't you tell me that you were on a business trip? I rushed home happily and didn't see you. I'm so sad.] She added a sad emoji at the end.

Jungkook was stunned for a moment when he saw the message. He didn't expect her to really care about where he had gone. He held his phone and scrolled through it before finally replying, [I left you a note.]

Lisa felt wronged. [I didn't see it. You didn't look for me today. I'm crying.]

Jungkook pursed his lips, thinking that she was the one who hadn't contacted him today, but in the end, he only replied with one sentence: [I'm busy.]

Lisa pursed her lips. [I won't keep you from your work. Remember to rest early.]

Jungkook wanted to mention that he was overseas right now, and it was afternoon here. However, it had been a long time since someone had been this thoughtful about him like this. His finger swiped across the short message, and warmth emerged in Jungkook's heart.

After Lisa sent that perfunctory message, she put down her phone and went into the bathroom to fill the bathtub. She was ready to soak and unwind.

This body had been neglected for too long. Over the past two days, she had put it through intense training, so her entire being was sore. Now that the performance was finally over, she could finally relax.
