Pushing the doors open, Lisa left.

With her straightened back, her dignified and cold visage-she had the aura of a queen.

Bang Chan was had been eavesdropping, was left bewildered.

She was too bold.

Everyone knew that Jungkook had the worst temper. with that chip on his shoulder, he would disown every living relative he had at the drop of a hat.

"Bang Chan"

"Yes, boss!"

Bang Chan stepped into the office, with cold sweat streaming freely all over his body.

"I want every piece of information on her" Jungkook had returned to his seat, the corners of his lips hooked as if in rumination.

That was simply strange. A first meeting where he was made a fool, yet he was not angered.

In fact, he was showing interest in her.

"Huh?" Bang Chan was left confused.

Normally, Jungkook would throwing a fit.

What happened to his boss? Why was he interested in her instead?

Had his brain gone haywire?

"Now!" Jungkook roared suddenly.

Bang Chan scampered off in fright.

Yes, that was more like his boss.

****

Lisa breathed a sigh as she left the company.

That man had been utterly domineering. It was lucky that she was nor as weak as she had been four years ago and was able to handle him.

Still, she was now out of a job.

Well, whatever goes if she actually worked for such a volatile superior, she was asking for a dismissal anyway.

As she proceeded to the basement parking lot, her little one gave her a call.

"Mommy, did you reach the company? Is your boss handsome?"

The tiny tot's voice over from the other end was utterly endearing.

"Not really. He's very ugly" Lisa lied.

"HMMMMM, Well, forget it I thought we could have him as my daddy if he were a looker"

Lisa was caught between laughter and tears. She had the feeling that her son would sell her off at any given moment.

"Did you have breakfast?" She asked tenderly.

"Yup. I've just finished" The tot replied and aske endearingly. "Mommy, when are you coming back? Baby misses you"

"Mommy's at the carpark and coming back now. Be a good boy"

"Alright. Then I won't bother you. Travel safely, mommy!"

Smiling gently, Lisa hung up and searched through her bag for her keys.

Weird. Where did her keys go?

As she looked for her key, she did not notice another woman who was fussing over her phone running headlong into her.

"Are you blind? Watch where you're going!"

The woman yelled in irritation as everything inside Lisa's bag fell out.

Slightly angered herself, Lisa's eyes then narrowed as she looked up.

It was Tzuyu. She was dressed in an haute couture Chanel dress, eight-inch heels, and faint makeup although her angry yell just now was wholly mismatched with her usual white lotus image.

Why did it have to be her?

It was just like how the saying goes; enemies only ever run into each other!

Tzuyu did not expect that she would run into Lisa either. Her eyes now sharply scanned Lisa from head to toe.

Her former stepsister was completely different after four years apart, her skin was a white as snow, and she did not look like she had given birth even if she did not put on makeup.

Tall and standing above the crowd, her quiet appearance had cold dignified grace.

Tzuyu simply did not expect Lisa to undergo such metamorphosis. Her clothes were certainly not cheap wither, and her class completely eclipsed her own.

Envy flashed past eyes as she smiled. "Oh my, sis it's you"

Coolly shooting her a gaze, Lisa merely crouched and started to pick up everything that had fallen out.

She was unwilling to respond out of disgust.

Meanwhile, Tzuyu watched as she did so, a pleasure rising within her; She would admit that she looked better now, but so what? She was picking thing up at her feet.

"It's been four years sis, Such a long time" She said loudly, "Where have you been? Don't you know that Mommy and Daddy are so worried? Well, you're finally back......come home with me"

Such brilliant acting.

Such feigned sincerity

No wonder she was an actress.

Lisa rose to her feet and replied coldly, "Are you done with your act? Buzz off then"

There was no one around then why was she putting up a show?

Looking up at the surveillance cameras placed throughout the carpark, Tzuyu bite her lips, tears glimmering in her eyes. "Why are you being heartless sis? Don't you know that I've missed you so much for the last four years? Mommy a Daddy know better now they've been waiting for you, so come home with me"

She began pulling Lisa to her car even as she spoke.

The headlight of a Ferrari parked nearby flashed as she pressed on car key.

There was utter enjoyment in Tzuyu's eyes.

So what If Lisa looked or dressed better? Did she even hold a candle to her?

She was now an actress, and would soon marry Jeon Jungkook to become a young mistress of the Jeon family.

With the power that family held what would Lisa be, compared to her?

"Don't touch me"

Lisa shoved her off without sparing her any face. "Just stay away from me okay?"

After all, was she incapable of telling that Tzuyu was deliberately showing off?

And what does her Ferrari have anything to do with her? Peacock

However, when she freed herself, Tzuyu lost her balance and fell on her knees, and her tears swiftly flowed while staring at the cameras.

'Curse you, Lisa. Just you wait, Jungkook will teach you a lesson when he sees that footage!'

There was no one who did not know Jungkook's methods. When he was at his cruel best, he would lay his hand one anyone, even women.

Meanwhile, Lisa had left, with her car speeding so rapidly that it kicked up a cloud of dust that landed all over Tzuyu.

Her skirt was left in a mess and her vision a blur.

"Damn you, Lisa" Tzuyu seethed even as she ran the numbers on how she could earn sympathy points from Jungkook.
