"What do you want me to do? I can't go back now." Jungkook's voice was almost addictive, causing the disquiet in Lisa's body to flare up again.

"Why don't you tell me a story? I might be able to fall asleep if I listen to your voice," Lisa said coquettishly.

Jungkook was speechless.

"Isn't telling stories something that only parents do to their children? Are you trying to be my daughter?" He couldn't help but complain.

Lisa thought about it for a moment. That wasn't impossible. After all, she had a responsible, rich, and handsome father like Jungkook. She should be very happy to be his daughter.

Thus, Lisa threw a flirtatious look at the camera and said in a coy voice, "Then, daddy Jeon, can you tell me a story and put me to sleep?"

Jungkook who had lived for 25 years and still had no experience in relationships, was just making a casual remark. He didn't expect Lisa to be so thick-skinned and take advantage of the situation, even roleplaying with him.

As soon as Lisa called him 'Daddy Jeon', his breathing became heavier, and his ears turned red. He chided softly, "Stop messing around. If your father were to hear this, he would say that you're an unfilial daughter."

"Hehe." Lisa grinned and chuckled. She brought the camera closer and said in a low voice, "Then I'll just call you Daddy secretly under the blanket. Let's not let him hear it, okay?"

A certain scene appeared in Jungkook's mind. Lisa was lying under him, calling him "Daddy" with her charming eyes and begging him for mercy.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he felt the fire that he had just suppressed reignite and spread throughout his body.

Seeing that Lisa was still looking at him expectantly, Jungkook forced himself to look away. "That's enough." As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that there was something wrong with his voice. He could only cough twice and clear his throat before continuing, "Didn't you say you wanted me to tell you a story? What story do you want to hear?"

When he looked away, he didn't notice Lisa's silent laughter on the other side of the video. He only heard Lisa cheerfully say, "Then I want to listen to 'Little tadpoles looking for their mother.' Read this story to me."

As soon as Jungkook heard the childish title, he felt as if his childhood memories had suddenly awakened, and all the ambiguous bubbles from just now burst.

He sighed. "Okay, I'll read it to you. You can sleep quietly, okay?"

Otherwise, if this vixen continued to cause trouble, he really wouldn't get anything done today.

"Okay, I promise to sleep." Lisa immediately lay down and put her phone next to her pillow.

Jungkook searched for the story on the internet and then read it word by word. He thought he would have to read a few more books, but he didn't expect that Lisa had already closed her eyes and fallen asleep halfway through the passage.

She had just complained about how she couldn't sleep, but in the blink of an eye, she was already fast asleep. Jungkook still finished the story, and then quietly looked at Lisa.

In the end, he didn't hang up the video call. Instead, he put the phone on the stand and placed it in front of the desk. He found a bluetooth headset and connected it, turning it on silent mode. This way, he could see Lisa at a glance while he was working without waking her up.

Then, he opened the door and went out. He instructed Eunwoo, "Help me schedule my work. For the urgent matters, prioritize them. As for the other secondary matters, put them at the back. You must finish everything by today and then arrange a flight back to China."

"Did something happen to the company in China?" Eunwoo asked.

According to their original schedule, they still had more than two days on their journey. If it wasn't for something particularly urgent, Jungkook usually wouldn't change his schedule so easily.

Jungkook paused for a moment, the corners of his lips lifting slightly. "No, someone is waiting for me to go back."

At first, Eunwoo was madly guessing in his mind whether the old crooks in the company were being up to no good again. He did not expect to hear such an answer. He was silent for a few seconds and complained madly in his heart. 'Could it be that troublesome Madam again?'

However, even if he had a hundred ironclad stomachs, he would not dare to say it out loud. He could only reply respectfully, "Alright, Sir. I'll see to it at once."
