"Mommy!"

The little one lunged at her when the door opened.

Even before she could take her shoes off after entering, Lisa was caught by the full burnt of the embrace.

Her moodiness evaporated all at once.

Poking his little nose, she asked, "What did you have for breakfast?"

Even if Jisoo had been her assistant for three years, she was still unreliable.

"Hmmmm. Bread and yogurt"

Lisa turned at once to glare at the culprit who was laughing stupidly at some romantic drama. "Jisoo! What are you feeding my son in the morning?"

Jisoo did not even look uo. "I can't make anything else"

"I'm firing you if this continues"

Utterly lazy, obsessing over men, and only ever gossiping about celebrities....What was she doing with her life?

She must have had a brain stroke when she hired her.

"No! No!" Jisoo rushed toward her and held her leg, leaving a sympathizing glance at her employer. "Lili, take pity on me. I don't even have a boyfriend"

Even the tot was disgusted. "Mommy, cherish your life and stay away from Jisoo"

Lisa nodded: "Indeed"

Jisoo was left speechless.

****

Setting on the couch, Lisa was going to help Soobin with a bilingual text.

The child was very smart and could remember everything after a single glance, but was also especially perceptive to moods.

Noticing that his mother had things to discuss with Jisoo, he took the book away and shook his head, "Mommy, I'll go to study in my own room"

"Okay"

Lisa always felt at ease with her son.

He never threw a fit and was very understanding, having learned to read the room at a young age.

It was what hurt her most too his lack of fatherly love led to all that.

Meanwhile, Jisoo snuggled up to her. "What happened? Tell me, tell me!"

Lisa told her about the unfortunate encounter in the morning, including how she ran into Tzuyu.

"What the hell? Your brother-in-law is your boss?" Jisoo's eyes were bulging. "And dead handsome?"

Lisa rolled her eyes. "That's not important"

"It sure is!" Jisoo excitedly caught her hand. "Lili, you must snatch him away! He is Tzuyu's fiance after all"

"You're sick...." Lisa's face was in shock, "Why would I steal someone's fiance?"

How empty and lonely could Jisoo be?

"Tzuyu stole your man four years ago. Now four years later, you should steal her man!"

Lisa was left speechless. "Are you talking about Kim Mingyu? We merely grew up with each other and I only had a positive opinion of him"

"That won't do! Think about it; he and you were childhood friends and might have eventually married, only for Tzuyu to stir shit up and separate you both. Don't you think that's just disgusting? I would have killed that bitch if it was me, and splatter her brains all over the road"

Jisoo was utterly irritated as if it had actually happened to her.

Nonetheless, when Lisa thought about it, she realized she had actually forgotten what Mingyu looked like.

On the other hand, Jungkook was still stuck in her head.

Even if that man screamed of danger.

"Boss, here's the information you want"

Bang Chan gingerly placed the documents on the desk as if handling some divine decree.

It was already late into night. The face of the man sitting before the desk was as cold as the darkness around.

His bony hand ran through the pages unhurriedly.

Then he abruptly rose to his feet, and swept everything on his desk to ground in a clatter.

Bang Chan immediately lowered his head in fright.

He knew it. His boss was going to throw a fit.

Because Lisa had a child!

There was a child that cut deep into the bone in Jungkook's eyes. His hands were pressed over his desk- all the lines on his face was contorted while veins bulged over his forehead.

Curses. She actually had a child.

Who did the child belong to? Who was the man who knocked her up?

And why did it feel like he was cuckolded after only meeting her once?!

Why?
