Winning back Mrs. Manoban

Chapter 1

Seoul, South Korea

Lisa POV

"Hello there Miss eligible bachelorette."

From the screen of my laptop, my eyes went upward and landed to the woman walking gracefully towards me. She's wearing her usual teasing smile and I can tell why, on her hand is a copy of an in International Magazine where I was hailed one of the Most Accomplished Eligible Bachelorette in the world. Accomplished is acceptable but eligible bachelorette? They gotta be kidding me! Whoever their sources is, not very realiable. But I like the guts of the editor in chief whoever he or she is for still including my name on their list eventhough I already refused being interviewed. Such confidence, I can actually sue them for invading my privacy but I don't wanna waste my time doing that. I have lots important things to do rather than engaging myself in some nonsense article.

"Eligible bachelorette,my ass!" I said rolling my eyes upward.

"Oh,my! Did I heard it right? Did you just cursed? Lalisa Manoban, you're so going to hell." She said teasing me while putting the magazine in my desk.

"I've been there for the past six years. So what makes any difference?" I said with a hint of sarcasm.

"For a starter, cussing doesn't suit you. Second, you're living in hell because you chose to live that way and lastly.... helloooo, there's still a life after every heartbreak. It's not the end of the world. Besides you're too young and too beautiful to just confine yourself here in the four walls of your office. Get a life!"

"Joy, I have a life." I chuckled.

"Yeah, right." She rolled her eyes ceilingward. "Ok, tell me, when was the last time you went out to socialize?" She asked, challenging me.

"Two days ago. I went on a bar." I answered her quickly.

"And may I asked with whom?" Her perfect brows arched.

"With a girl."

"Oh, I bet she's a client."

"Yeah, but ---"

"See?"

"Hey, that's also considered socializing."

Joy shook her head. "Nope,not acceptable."

"I--"

"Not even close. And please we both know what I'm talking about. You're too intelligent to play dumb Lisa."

"And remind me again, since when did you drop the unnie?" I gently teased her and she just wrinkled her nose.

She's the cutest when she did that.

Joy knows me well and she can be very persistent most of the time. She knows how to defend her self in an argument. Why, the woman is a brilliant law student. She's now on her third year in her law proper. Joy turned out to be a beautiful woman at twenty three. She could passed as a model.

I sighed.

"Ok, I rest my case Atty. Joy Park. You win this time. You happy now?"

"Delighted." She said smiling sweetly.

I just shook my head and continue what I'm doing.

"So, what brought you here aside from announcing my newest title and lecturing me about your so-called socializing?" I asked while my eyes were busy reading something on my computer.

"Well, I was hoping to get an invitation from you?"

I frown.

"Invitation to what?"
