"Alright," he said. "I won't beat around the bush, tell me, what would you consider an end to this?"

Lisa pretended to be confused. "What?"

Mingyu said, "... attempting to garner attention."

"Oh – that's not something you should come ask me," she said, raising an eyebrow. "Didn't you make that happen? Cooking up the news, getting a bunch of people to make it big news, that was all service you bought out by yourself."

"You..." Mingyu frowned. "Just tell me, what do you want, money or resources? Though, my resources would not be as good as your boyfriend's." When he reached the end, there was some ridicule in his tone.

If it was someone else, he would not be as worried, but the other was Jeon Corporation. He had no idea how Lisa had got onto that ark.

Lisa sneered. "I'm sorry, I lack neither. I never participated in this, it's useless for you to come find me."

Mingyu said, "Bringing me down, what good does that bring you?"

"Don't, I have nothing to do with you, no relationship at all. If someday you fall through, I'm not taking the blame." Lisa couldn't be bothered to continue talking with him and prepared to leave.

She did not expect the other to suddenly, roughly, grab her arm.

There were paparazzi following Lisa all around so he could not act rashly. All he did was sneer. "I came to find you because I intended to give you face, to give you a way out... do you think I can do nothing else? Once this is out, all I stand to lose is some fans, maybe I'd have to give away some money, but you should know – in this industry, it's too easy to tarnish a woman's reputation. Particularly a woman like you, hailing from a poor family, who managed to make it to the second female lead of some huge IP for your first show..."

Slap –

A loud slap resounded in the lobby.

Even the receptionists still helping the guests check in and the other staff were attracted by the sound.

Mingyu's face was still tilted, his cheeks burning and his expression surprised, as if he had yet to react.

In a moment, he turned his face back, raising his voice a few degrees. "You dare hit me?!" As he finished speaking, he raised his hand, prepared to return the hit.

Slap –

Another slap.

This time, both sides of his face were a matching pair of red. Mingyu was completely dumb smacked.

He did not expect Lisa to suddenly get angry, even less that she would dare hit to him a second time.

Lisa did not hold back both times, using all the strength in her body. Her hand still hurt from hitting him.

Mingyu came back to himself and raised his fists up high. "You..."

His fist had yet to come down when his arms were caught by a person behind him. His shoulders were immediately twisted, and he was forced to turn around, but before he could see the person clearly he was thrown to the floor. He had yet to get over that when he was kneed on the back, hurting him enough to scream in pain.

Lisa watched the person in front and paused. "Why did you come back?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she understood it, because the man who was suppressing Mingyu was carrying a small white pommel sling bag, one that horribly clashed with his image, yet somehow made him look cute in a funny way.

Jungkook did not let up on his hands. "You left your bag in the car."

Soon the security guard came over. Jungkook got up, Mingyu still screeching on the floor.
