SET IN STONE• (part-1)

Chapter:25

"But mom, at least we lived all these years peacefully. If you live in luxury, you would have to fight and scheme with others, is that really what you want?"

Her mother didn't say anything after hearing what Lisa said…

"When I was there this time, I saw the feud between those two women and the conspiracies between their children. I don't think there's anything crueler than that. The only thing left between the members of their family is personal gain. Do you want me to become like that?"

"But at least we would have money and wouldn't have to suffer."

"I have money, and I can make more. Mom, don't worry. I will help you and Haruto live a comfortable life. I am not going back to Oh family even if you yell at me or hit me, period."

Lisa's attitude was firm. No matter what her mother said, she made it clear that she was not going back to the Oh family.

When this girl was as stubborn as this, nobody could do anything about it…

Lisa left home and went straight to Asan medical center for her shift.

Jungkook, however, stayed at the JC headquarters all day long, looking particularly depressed.

"Mr. Jeon isn't very happy today. You all better do your jobs well and don't make any mistakes. Got it?" Assistant Lee sneakily said to the female assistants who were organizing materials in the assistants' office.

"He doesn't look too bad. You can never tell if he's happy or not; he always looks like that. Actually, you can't even tell any of his emotions from his face. Anyways… Assistant Lee, how did you know his mood?"

"If I couldn't tell, I wouldn't be much of his personal assistant. Anyways, you guys need to be careful. Don't cause any trouble."

After he finished talking, he knocked on the door and went into the president's office.

"Mr. Jeon this is what your schedule looks like for this afternoon: first you have the meeting with the clients from Thailand at 2 PM, golf with President Min from Trading Company at 4:30 PM, and a charity banquet tonight at 6."

"Got it," Jungkook answered, obviously distracted.

"Em… Mr. Jeon, do you have a date for the banquet?" Assistant Lee asked hesitantly.

"No."

"Do you want…?"

"No." He was shut down by Jungkook before he could finish his sentence.

"Okay, I'll just see myself out now." Then Assistant Lee headed out.

He wondered what could be wrong with the president. For one, he didn't drive that low-key white Hyundai Sedan today.

Instead, he switched to a high-profile Maybach of the most expensive make; it was extremely flashy.

Second, a sad English song lingered in the president's office.

So, he boldly guessed that the president was not in a good mood. Maybe he was fighting with his girlfriend?

Just as he was thinking this over, Assistant Lee heard the president's voice from behind.
