Yeeun's answer was so vague that it drew more attention to the subject.

Another reporter then asked, "Word is that you're the new spokesperson for JC's OWQ female shoe brand. Did you get this opportunity because you're dating Mr. Jeon, or did you only start dating after landing this role?"

"Sorry, can everyone please ask questions about next month's movie only? Thank you." Her agent appeared at that moment to fend off the question.

Yeeun did what she did so she could prolong the spotlight that had been casted on her, taking this opportunity to increase her popularity.

She believed herself to be young and beautiful, so even if JC's president saw the report, he wouldn't blame her.

Maybe he would even invite her out to eat. Anyways, Yeeun began fantasizing about everything.

After the interview was broadcasted, it gathered over 10 million hits on SNS, as a lot of people became interested in JC's mysterious prince.

As a result of his rumored relationship with Yeeun, everyone's curiosity towards Jungkook grew.

JC's stocks also skyrocketed that day…

After Mrs. Jeon saw the news, she couldn't sit still any longer and immediately called her son.

But she couldn't get through, as Jungkook put his phone on automatic voicemail since too many people were bothering him.

Even Bambam sent a WeChat message to Jungkook, "Bro, what's going on? Aren't you afraid that your wife will make you kneel on a durian when you get home?"

In reality, Lisa had already heard about it, but she was aware of the truth, and thus didn't care.

- JC's Design Department -

Yerim's face dropped after watching the report.

"Director, do you think our president is really dating Jang Yeeun?"

"Do you think that trash like Yeeun can match up to our president? What a joke. Let me tell you, no woman in the entertainment industry is clean. Our president would probably find her dirty since he's germaphobic." Because Yerim idolized Jungkook, she was well informed of all his habits. She had managed her loneliness for all these years and maintained her virginity, all so that Jungkook would take notice of her.

- The President's Office -

"Sir, this is getting out of hand! Should we get the PR Department to make a statement?" Lee carefully asked.

"Why do I have to respond to something like this?"

"But Ms. Jang is the newest spokesperson for our line of female footwear this season." Assistant Lee looked like he was about to cry.

The chairman of the board (Jungkook’s father) couldn't find his son and, therefore, called assistant Lee again and again. However, Lee didn't know what he was supposed say.

From what Jungkook said this morning, he didn't seem to know who Jang Yeeun was. However, her remarks were so ambiguous during the interview just now that no one was going to believe that there was nothing between them.

Countless media representatives gathered around JC's entrance; it didn't seem right to not provide them with a response.

Assistant Lee's words finally caught Jungkook's attention.

He looked up, frowning slightly. "Did you just say that she's a spokesperson for our company?"

"Yes."

"Who decided this?" unhappy, jungkook asked.

"They all agreed on this during the last board meeting. Oh, you were on a business trip at the time, so the Chairman made an executive decision. Jang Yeeun is very popular right now and charged a reasonable fee, so we signed a one-year contract with her."
