After a look a them through her muddled eyes, she hesitantly asked. "Who....are you looking for?"

"Is this Eunha's house?" Jungkook asked in return indifferently.

The old lady nodded. "Yes"

"Where is she? We have something to talk to her about"

"What is the matter"

"Tell her to come out!"

Jungkook's voice was very cold. Coupled that with the inscrutable look he had, anyone would think that they were being forced to confess in a courtroom.

The old lady's eyes went red immediately and she was about to cry. "Mister Police, my granddaughter didn't break the law!"

Jungkook was speechless

At this same time, Lisa quickly pulled him a step back by the hand and smiled gently. "You don't have to be afraid, we're not the police....but you should probably know that Eunha has been working at KBS a while ago"

"Yes, Yes!" The old lady quickly nodded, and after some thought, her eyes between the two. "But she has resigned....you're...."

"We're her superiors. Although she has resigned, there are some matters she resigned, there are some matters she has yet to settle. That's why we're here to get to the bottom of the situation with her. May I know if she is here?"

Lisa's smile was completely harmless and amicable, allowing the old lady to slowly let her guard down.

"Our Eunha was out to buy groceries_"

But before the old lady finished, her eye brightened as she stared behind them and pointed with her fingers. "Oh, you're home, Kid! These two are your superiors in your old company, they're saying that they want to talk to you...."

Thud_

Lisa promptly turned towards the sound to find a woman dressed in a loss T-shirt dress, throwing the bags she was holding and fleeing swiftly and panickily

The more she ran, the more guilty she looked!

"Stop!" Lisa shouted and quickly gave chase.

Eunha was not a quick runner and there were moments when she clutched her hip as if out of breath. However, Lisa did not think much of it and rushed ahead of Eunha to intercept her when she suddenly reached out and shoved.

Caught off guard, Lisa reflexively held onto a nearby wall and avoid falling.

That was when a shadow suddenly streaked past her eyes. Jungkook rushed ahead by a few paces and caught the woman by her wrist, swinging her backwards.

"Argh!" The woman shrieked from the pain, while Jungkook both her hands pinned behind her back in a single breath.

It was just that the move itself looked so much like....arresting a suspect.

Truly, Chivarly is dead with this man.

Lisa walked up to them, reached out and lifted the woman's chin.

After a good look at her face, it turns out her appearance was acceptable and on the fair side, but definitely not beautiful.

Maybe average

"Are you Eunha?"

The woman averted her eyes: "I'm no-not!"

As with most denials, that was a lie

Lisa threw the woman a cold glare. "Eunha, you should know why we are looking for you"

"W-why?" Eunha stuttered, feigning ignorance.

"You know what you did!"

"What are you talking about? I'm not Eunha, you have the wrong person!" She did all she could to look innocent, but she also kept turning her eyes away which only betrayed her guilt.

Meanwhile. the old lady had rushed to them as the conversation turned awkward, and went pale when she saw Jungkook's armlock over Lisa. "Why....What's going on?! Sir, C-could you let my granddaughter free?"

Lisa gave Jungkook look_ only then did he let go.

The old lady made a stern face. "Little girl, tell me what did you do to them!"

Eunha's expression changed. She had been rubbing her wrists in pain but she promptly froze.

Even the smile she showed the old lady was awkward. "It's alright, Grandmother....you don't need to know..........."

"Don't need to know? Your superiors from such a big company came personally looking for you. Something must have happened! Tell us!"

"Grandmother, I...." Eunha's face fell. Put on the spot, she struggled for a long moment but could not manage a word.

From the looks of things, the old lady must not be aware of what Eunha did

And Eunha would like to keep it that way.

As such, Lisa walked up to them to help calm things down, "Grandmother. it's actually a minor matter"

The old lady clearly did not believe that, however since it was not unavoidable for anyone to imagine things with how Jungkook had behaved just now.

"Grandmother....I'll tell you the truth" Lisa smiled. "Actually, Eunha had been underperforming at the company, dragging her team's feet so far that the entire company met losses. And yet, Eunha chose to run away at this vital moment, and that is why we have especially come to inquire after her...."
