CEO Above, Me Below

Chapter 66

Jungkook threw the documents back at Hye Eun, "they are all signed, now get out."

The woman shuddered and quickly stood up. Not many people are able to take Jeon Jungkook's wrath when directed at them.

As she was about to go, Jungkook stopped her, "Wait."

"Y...yes?"

"With this, there is no relationship between your family and Lisa?" he asked.

Hye Eun was taken aback at his familiar way of addressing Lisa. She secretly peeked at the girl, but her head was still down, "...yes."

"Good. I just want to remind you now, in the future don't come to Lisa for any help, understand?"

"......"

Hye Eun was not sure what help they would require from Lisa. "Naturally," she told him. After breaking their ties, why would they ask anything.

"Mm. Get out then."

Hye Eun was unable to say anything. She just turned around and walked away leaving the crying woman and the intimidating man behind.

Jungkook watched her back as she left, making plans to lay the foundation of the Kim family demise.

Last time, his woman came back with a bruised cheek after meeting them, and now she was crying after she met another one of them.

If he didn't retaliate, how would they know whom to fear?

They should learn to look at the people behind before they bully someone.

"Stop crying," he said at Lisa, "is there any need to cry for scum like that?"

They obviously broke their relations with her, why was she sad about people like that?

He saw that Lisa did not seem as if she was going to stop. Taking a deep breath, he got up and dragged the sobbing woman along with him out of the coffee shop.

Depositing her inside the car, he sat beside her and they were on their way to their apartment.

Leaning back on his seat, Jungkook watched Lisa wiping her eyes with the already wet tissue.

He seldom saw her tears. Even when he forcefully kept her at his mansion, she did not cry like this, but now she was crying for something like a broken parent-child document. Was it really that important?

He felt irritated at the thought that she would deem something more important than him.

Lisa stopped crying only after another 10 minutes. By the time, her eyes were red rimmed, and her cheeks were suffused deep crimson.

"You are already an adult now, even if no one wants you, you can live on. What's the use of crying like that?" Jungkook said derisively once he saw that she wasn't crying anymore.

He did not like her looking so helpless. He rather she looked angry or stubborn like she usually did.

"....."

Lisa fell silent when she heard him say that.

After a long moment of silence, she looked into her lap and pinched the soggy and crumpled tissue paper, her mind elsewhere.

"I... I know I can live on," she said in a whisper, "I am not surprised that this came either.."

"Then?" Jungkook asked impatiently.

She bit her lip and twisted the tissue into a ball, "it's just.... it's just that now that I'm not their daughter, I really am alone in every sense of the word. I ... sniff...I really don't have a home anymore..." fresh tears rolled down her cheeks and she immediately wiped them off with her sleeves.

At this moment, the last thing she was worried about was looking lady like.

Jungkook furrowed his eyebrows at her, "there's no need to cry over something like that," he told her as he watched her trying to wipe away the tears on her cheeks, "in the future, wherever I am will be your home."

Lisa's eyes widened in shock at his words as she whipped up her head to look at him.

"You have me as your backing, if someone brings trouble for you, you can get it directly to me, I'll clean up your mess."

"....."

Jungkook stared at her deeply, reaching out deeply, reaching out a hand to stroke her wet cheeks with a finger, he said expressionlessly, "If they don't want you, it's their problem. But I want you, and that should mean much more to you."

Lisa's throat tightened once more, but this time it was because she was told that someone was willing to give her a place called home.

She shouldn't attach any importance to what he says, after all, he was the one who told her that she will stay with him but never in any legal capacity.

But just for this moment, she wanted to take his words at their value. She wanted to believe that she still had something called home somewhere. Not a place where she can live, but a place where there were people she could call her own. Someone to whom it mattered that she was there.

"Mm..." she acquiesced.

Just for a little bit, she wanted to pretend that she still had people whom she could call her own.
