"Yup, it was expensive. Really expensive," Jungkook enunciated on purpose.

"I knew it was expensive just from the packaging. But it was delicious, you know what they say, 'some things are expensive, but it's worth the money'. Just like Haagen Daaz ice cream, there's a reason why it's pricey."

"Working overtime is tiring, you need to eat good food."

"In that case, I should just finish off the rest." Then, Lisa jumped up and began wolfing down the leftover dumplings.

Jungkook didn't know whether to laugh or cry…

After spending some time with Lisa at the hospital, Jungkook left unwillingly.

When Lisa returned to the office, she was bombarded by Wonyoung's interrogation.

"Unnie, tell me, who is he?"

"Just a friend."

"I don't believe you! Come on! Tell me, is he your new boyfriend?"

"Fine, he is." Lisa didn't think that she could trick her any longer, so she admitted to it.

Wonyoung laughed as she clapped her hands together, "Ha! I knew he's your boyfriend. He's so handsome! How did you guys meet?"

"Um… I've known him for years," Lisa answered after some thought.

"So you guys grew up together?"

"Something like that."

"Oh my god, that's so romantic! Oh right, he looks really rich, what does he do? The packaging of the food he brought you is from an expensive restaurant, that place is super expensive! The food he bought you is probably worth thousands, I bet he's not an ordinary white-collar employee."

Wonyoung was a cutsie-tootsie ditzy girl, but she was super up-to-date with stuff like this. She paid a lot of attention to food and clothes.

Therefore, she knew her brands. Lisa wouldn't be able to fool her even if she wanted to.

"Um… he is kind of rich. His family owns a small business, that's all."

"I bet he's a local tyrant."

"Yeah, he is one of those poor people who suddenly came across some money," Lisa fumbled to answer; she didn't want to expose too much of who Jungkook was.

His identity was too flashy…

If this girl found out that Jungkook was the president of JC, tomorrow the entire hospital would find out as well.

"Nice, Unnie, no wonder you weren't interested in the forensics guy the head nurse tried to introduce you to. You have a man already! Plus, he's so handsome and filthy rich, he's an everything man! Oh, and your boyfriend looks super sophisticated, he doesn't look like someone who was poor – he looks like royalty."

"Promise me you won't tell anyone about him, I don't want to make it public."

"Fine, I got it. But if Kai found out, he would be super angry. Haha, you found a much better guy after leaving him."

"It doesn't have anything to do with him anymore, I don't think he has the time to pay attention to my personal matters anyway."

"You're right, I heard that Kai and Dr. Jung are getting married soon. I bet they're busy with wedding details, Dr. Jung will have plenty of time to gloat then."

Lisa smiled at her remarks and did not say anything more.

It was eight something in the morning when Lisa got home from work.
