CEO Above, Me Below

Chapter 52

For the next few days, Lisa faced unprecedented problem at Hannam.

First, the heating system went down, but she was used to living in a rundown apartment where breakdowns in the heating were very common. She wasn't unused to taking a cold shower especially in summer, so she simply used the cold water and when necessary heated up some water in the pan or microwave.

But it came as a surprise that such a thing would happen in a place like Hannam where the richest of the rich live.

Haaah.

Looks like, these problems crop up everywhere and even the rich are not immune to it. There was something satisfying about it.

She wanted to complain to the building maintenance but she did not know the number and she definitely did not want to call any one related to Jungkook for help.

It could jinx her.

The next day, she woke up to find that the water supply stopped.

"...."

This was Hannam, right?

The money that went into paying for a square foot of this place was more than she could afford in ten years, and they still had these run down apartment problems?

If the building was doing maintenance, they would definitely inform her and she did not get any notice, so this cannot be it.

Lisa could not help but become slightly suspicious at this point.

First the heating, then the water.

Was it Jungkook retaliating for what happened a few days back?

She immediately brushed off her ridiculous thoughts.

How can someone like him have time to play such silly games with her. Most probably, he just got bored of her like butler Yoo said he would and went back to live his old life.

She still had a big deadline before her, so she quickly sat down before her table and started working on it.

She completed most of the arc and she called her editor to discuss any changes or additions they might make and by the time she hung up, it was already dark outside.

She stretched her arms and slowly hopped to the kitchen.

This big apartment was really not suitable for a single person stay. Just to walk to the kitchen she had to spend 10 minutes with her condition.

The big house just magnified her loneliness.

There was some water in the bottles and a spare tank supply for every apartment and it will last her for another day or two if she used it judiciously, but she still had to do something about this.

Just as she was hopping over to the dining table, the power went off and in the dark, she misjudged the distance between her and the chair and knocked herself against it.

"Ow!! Hurts!" She clutched her foot and clenched her hands in pain.

After a few minutes, once the pain in her shin subsided, she looked at the dark room and became excessively timid.

Since she was 7, Lisa has been very scared of the dark.

It all started when she was left alone at a relatives place for 3 days by her adoptive parents. They left on a tour with Jennie, the relatives children were very mischievous and locked her in a dark basement away from their main house for a whole day and night.

The basement was once used as a grain storage facility and had been left unused for a long time, and infested with rats, Lisa, a 7 year old child then, tried to scream and shout for someone to help her but because of the thick walls no one was able to find her until the next day.
